Chapter 353: A Favor

“Elder Tai, please speak; whatever I can help with, I will!”

“This matter begins with my useless nephew from the family. Although he has good talent, he is unstable in mind and enjoys wandering, not spending much time in the sect.”

“A while ago, my nephew sent a Transmission saying he successfully infiltrated the Heaven Demon Sect to steal Top-tier Spiritual Plants.”

“As you can guess, despite his minor skills, he was still caught by the Heaven Demon Sect and is now trapped in their dungeon.”

“This time, I wish to ask you, disciple, for your assistance in rescuing him along with the other disciples.”

Having said that, Elder Tai turned his gaze toward Ren Yuning.

As an elder of the sect, he received news very quickly.

Ji Yang quickly understood Elder Tai’s meaning.

However, after hearing Elder Tai’s account, Ji Yang suddenly felt something was amiss and immediately asked,

“May I ask what your nephew’s name is, Elder Tai?”

“His name is Tai Jin.”

Upon hearing this name, Ji Yang showed a hint of embarrassment.

He never expected it would indeed be that person!

If it weren’t for him, Tai Jin might have actually succeeded.

But Ji Yang would certainly not voice that thought.

Seeing Ji Yang hesitate, Elder Tai asked,

“What’s wrong? Do you have any concerns, disciple?”

Ji Yang waved his hand slightly,

“Not at all; it’s just a small issue. Elder Tai, please don’t worry.”

Seeing Ji Yang quickly agree, Elder Tai felt relieved and turned to admire the nearby spiritual plants, saying,

“Disciple Ji, you really have a talent for growing spiritual plants!”

“Elder Tai, you flatter me.”

Just as Elder Tai was about to say something else, Ji Yang remembered the wooden houses he had yet to build and decided to ask Elder Tai for some lumber.

Upon hearing Ji Yang’s request, Elder Tai laughed heartily,

“Why, that’s easy! We have plenty of all kinds of wood in Feng Ling Valley. I’ll have my disciples bring some over shortly.”

“Thank you for your help, Elder.” Ji Yang responded with a smile.

A win-win situation.

Meanwhile, Ren Yuning, who had been listening to their conversation, puffed out her cheeks and looked quite annoyed.

She thought they were discussing important sect matters, but it turned out to be just this.

With her keen intellect, how could she not realize that Ji Yang intended to use himself as leverage to free the disciples captured by the Heaven Demon Sect?

Although the situation was beyond her control, Ren Yuning still felt very angry.

Yet, she was powerless at the moment; all she could do was stomp her foot and walk toward the peak.

She didn’t want to see Ji Yang for a moment longer.

After Elder Tai left, Ji Yang stopped thinking about the wood and instead headed toward the peak!

Everything was ready; it was time to consider returning to a rural life again.

Upon reaching the peak, Ji Yang saw the Golden Valiant Warrior arguing with a middle-aged man inside the fixed-point object, while Little Black and Xuanqing watched from the side, occasionally casting hostile glances at both sides.

When Xuanqing spotted Ji Yang, he quickly ran over on his four little legs.

“Where are my pills?”

“I still need five hundred pills!”

Little Black, shaking his tail, also rushed toward Ji Yang, pondering to himself.

Jingtan Peak only needed two spiritual beasts; having another would mean there wouldn’t be enough spiritual grains to eat!

He needed to think of a way to get this turtle out, and at that moment, that was Little Black’s thought.

However, in front of Ji Yang, Little Black didn’t act rashly, simply listening with some confusion to Xuanqing’s talk about pills.

Ji Yang didn’t go back on his word; he would give what he promised, as he would need to squeeze them later.

Ji Yang counted out five hundred Yun Ling Dan from his storage bag and handed them to Xuanqing.

Looking at the small mountain of Yun Ling Dan piled on the ground, Xuanqing’s eyes sparkled with golden light, swiftly collecting them into his turtle shell under Little Black’s eager gaze.

“Woof, woof, woof!”

At that moment, Little Black could no longer hold back and began to protest verbally.

He wanted those pills too!

Seeing this, Ji Yang couldn’t favor one over the other; after all, they were spiritual beasts of the peak. He couldn’t rely solely on his own spiritual grain cultivation in such a large area.

Even though he possessed the ability to create Soldiers from Beans, it had to be repeated daily and was quite troublesome, so he still needed Little Black and Little White’s help.

Thinking this, Ji Yang took out one hundred pills and handed them to Little Black.

Upon seeing the pills, Little Black immediately gulped them down, swallowing them all in an instant.

This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Little White, who had been attracted by the scent of the pills.

Little White said nothing; she simply spiraled around and rushed toward Ji Yang, then lay down on the ground, making it clear that she wouldn’t get up without pills.

Ji Yang’s expression turned dark, but since he had already given the pills, he could only take out another hundred Yun Ling Dan.

Like Little Black, Little White also swallowed all the pills without leaving any behind.

After consuming the pills, the two beasts still wanted more, but Ji Yang only shook his head:

“These pills are merely a reward for your previous hard work in growing spiritual plants; whether you can get more in the future depends on your performance.”

Seeing they could not get more from Ji Yang, the two beasts turned their gazes toward Xuanqing, with greed openly shining in their eyes.

Xuanqing stepped back slightly and immediately withdrew into his turtle shell. Although a Xuanwu was not afraid of that big dog, with the addition of a True Dragon, he felt he was not a match.

Moreover, among the True Spirit clan, the True Dragon ranked high in strength.

This True Dragon in front of him seemed to be around the same age, but in terms of power, he felt slightly inferior.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t afraid; when in doubt, he could simply hide in his turtle shell.

However, when Xuanqing saw the two beasts of Jingtan Peak, he finally understood why Ji Yang previously refused his offer to follow him.

After all, True Spirits were not something an ordinary cultivator could afford.

But seeing how easily Ji Yang took out Yun Ling Dan and appeared indifferent, it was clear that he had plenty of such pills.

This made Xuanqing secretly grow a thought; he, Xuanqing, was not weaker than other True Spirits, and he could eat these pills for a lifetime!

Noticing the unusual looks from the three beasts, Ji Yang spoke up:

“Alright, you three go and clear all the spiritual fields on the peak; I’ll be planting other spiritual grains shortly.”

Little Black and Little White immediately wanted to refuse.

They had only just planted those spiritual grains recently, and in a few days, they would begin to harvest. Now if they were to plant other spiritual grains, wouldn’t they end up starving for several days?

However, before Ji Yang could say much, Xuanqing had already begun to dash toward the spiritual fields at an incredible speed!

The two beasts hesitated.

At that moment, they heard Ji Yang lightly say,

“The fastest to clear the fields will earn ten pills as a reward!”
