Chapter 86: The Spirit Tiger’s Feast

Thinking of this, Yueyao felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.

Clearly, this matter had nothing to do with her senior brother, yet he went out of his way to help her.

A strange feeling spread through Yueyao’s heart.

As that feeling grew, she inexplicably felt that this senior brother was more reliable than her own master. Her master had said he would help solve her problem, but now he was nowhere to be found.

Qin Yangjun’s image suddenly grew much taller in her eyes.

And because of this, a surge of courage welled up in Yueyao’s heart.

Her senior brother was putting in so much effort for her, so she couldn’t just stand by. No matter what, this matter was caused by her, so she had to explain things clearly to Ling Huer.

With that thought, Yueyao summoned her spirit sword and chased after the two in the direction they had disappeared.

Since the Biluo Valley and the Yuqian Sect had a teleportation array, the two arrived at the town outside Biluo Valley in less than an hour.

Because Biluo Valley was rich in spiritual medicines and herbs, the city’s commerce was exceptionally prosperous. Cultivators came and went constantly, and all kinds of stalls were neatly arranged on both sides of the street.

Stripped of their identity as cultivators, the scene before them was not much different from a mortal market.

Qin Yangjun sat by the window on the second floor of a tavern, one hand propping up his cheek, looking toward Biluo Valley.

In front of him was a table full of delicious food, and Ling Huer was eating heartily on the table.

Originally, there had been no news from Ah Ling, and Qin Yangjun wanted to stall for time. But unexpectedly, when Ling Huer passed by the tavern, she was attracted by the aroma and couldn’t move.

Qin Yangjun went along with it and brought her into the tavern.

But seeing her like this…

“By the way, don’t forget why we’re here. Will you still have room to eat later?”

Ling Huer was gnawing on a chicken leg, patting her chest.

She looked like she was telling him not to worry.

Qin Yangjun shook his head helplessly. Sometimes you just couldn’t understand a girl’s appetite.

At that moment, Qin Yangjun’s gaze shifted slightly and he noticed a group passing by below the tavern. In that group, he saw two familiar figures.

Yu Lingyue, Hua Yaoyao, Qian Xiaoyu, and the leader, Jiang Yanfeng.

This was the Yuqian Sect’s team.

Someone in the team also noticed Qin Yangjun’s gaze and looked back at him.

But Qin Yangjun’s expression was indifferent. He was in disguise.

This disguise technique was taught to him by Ah Ling. Although he had only half-learned it, as long as he didn’t act and leak his aura, others wouldn’t recognize him.

Just as Qin Yangjun expected, those people only glanced at him and then looked away.

Speaking of which, in the original story, since Jiang Yanfeng had been killed by him, the leader now seemed to be the fifth or fourth on the Heaven Rankings. He wondered what changes would happen to the plot now that Jiang Yanfeng was alive.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun’s other hand moved under the table, and a token appeared in his palm.

“Ah Ling… how’s the situation? Found it?”

“Sorry, young master. I followed the direction you pointed out, but only found footprints left by the demon beasts. Their lair has moved. I’m tracking their whereabouts now.”

“As expected… another problem.”

Qin Yangjun stroked the token, lost in thought.

The Yuqian Sect’s goal was to encircle and eliminate the demon beasts that stole spiritual medicines and herbs. But what they didn’t know was that these demon beasts weren’t stealing the herbs for themselves. They were using them to nourish an egg.

To be precise, the egg of a divine beast.

One of the Five Phoenixes, the Qingluan.

The Qingluan had not yet hatched, but judging by the time, it should be close. Qin Yangjun’s goal was to make the Qingluan recognize Ling Huer as its master.

Consider it compensation for her.

Having a divine beast was better than a king beast, right?

As for why Qin Yangjun didn’t tame it himself?

Simply put, it was too troublesome.

Although the Qingluan was a reincarnation, its divine soul was damaged and it had lost its memory. He already had a pile of problems of his own; he didn’t have time to deal with its troubles.

And most importantly, this Qingluan was somewhat misandrist. In the story, the moment they met, it attacked him without reason. Later, it was extremely hostile toward any man who approached Yu Lingyue, even cursing out friends.

Moreover, the Qingluan’s personality was very unpleasant.

In short, Qin Yangjun didn’t know how to describe her.

So Qin Yangjun had no intention of taming her. But giving her to Yu Lingyue wouldn’t work either.

In the original story, Ling Huer died early. She wasn’t even part of the main team.

In that case, it was better to give her to Ling Huer. As long as this divine beast wasn’t in the hands of the protagonist, everything was fine.

At this moment, Qin Yangjun looked at Ling Huer across the table. She had almost finished the huge feast, leaving only one drumstick uneaten.

Ling Huer also noticed Qin Yangjun’s gaze.

She realized that Qin Yangjun hadn’t eaten a single bite of the food.

“You want some?”

Qin Yangjun waved his hand.

“I’m…”

Before he could finish, Ling Huer quickly devoured the drumstick, afraid that Qin Yangjun would change his mind.

Then she stood up, placed a high-grade spirit stone on the table, and eagerly said to Qin Yangjun:

“Let’s go, let’s go! Take me to see that spirit beast you mentioned.”

Qin Yangjun paused for a moment, then smiled.

This Ling Huer was really quite cute.

“Alright, let’s go.”

So Qin Yangjun led Ling Huer to the entrance of Biluo Valley. After showing the token, they smoothly entered.

Not long after they entered, Yueyao arrived.

She was about to follow, but the guards at the entrance stopped her.

“Please show your pass token.”

“I… left in a hurry and forgot to bring it. This is my true disciple token. I am indeed a disciple of the Yuqian Sect.”

It wasn’t that she forgot; Yueyao simply hadn’t expected Qin Yangjun to bring Ling Huer to Biluo Valley.

After seeing the token, the guards’ expressions became more respectful, but they still didn’t step aside.

“Apologies, True Disciple Yue. But you know the rules of Biluo Valley. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Hearing this, Yueyao sighed. Forcing her way in wasn’t her style, so she had no choice but to turn back and go to the Yuqian Sect to get her token.

Meanwhile, on Qin Yangjun’s side, thanks to the token, he was able to move freely through Biluo Valley even with a strange face.

The two soon arrived at a spirit spring. Seeing the spirit fish in the spring, Ling Huer became excited and was about to pounce, but Qin Yangjun grabbed her.

“What are you doing?!”

Qin Yangjun looked at her in shock, while Ling Huer looked confused.

“What else? Catching fish.”

“Catching?! This is a spirit spring, the main water source for refining spiritual medicines and pills. Do you want others to drink your bathwater?”

“Oh… then how do we catch them?”

At that moment, Qin Yangjun, as if performing a trick, pulled a fishing rod from behind…
