Chapter 358: A Hint of Favor

“Cough, cough!”

At that moment, Ji Yang lightly coughed a couple of times ahead.

Seeing this, Little White quickly withdrew her gaze and stopped looking further.

The withdrawal of gazes made everyone relax, and then expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

After this event, they had also seen a True Spirit with their own eyes and exchanged glances!

As the True Dragon continued to fly downward, the disciples couldn’t help but speculate where the dragon was headed.

Could it be that the Clear Pond they had seen earlier was the resting place of this True Dragon?

This thought made many disciples stop to see if the reality matched their guesses.

Seeing this, Ji Yang did not urge them to move on.

After all, it was a True Dragon; it was indeed quite remarkable when they first saw it, and he was no exception.

However, after seeing it a few times, it seemed rather ordinary.

Moreover, Little White was the most rebellious; if it weren’t for the fact that Little White could bring rain and water the plants, he would certainly not want such a True Spirit!

Just as everyone was enthusiastically guessing, they saw the True Dragon above suddenly turn its body and fly toward a nearby empty spiritual field.

But that wasn’t the end; upon reaching the spiritual field, the True Dragon opened its massive mouth, and a flame several zhang long erupted from its jaws, incinerating the chaotic spiritual grains in the field into ashes.

After that, the True Dragon did not stop but instead flew toward another spiritual field!

Witnessing this scene, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Their expressions turned somewhat strange.

They could see very clearly what the True Dragon was doing in the fields, and as disciples of Feng Ling Valley, they certainly knew what this was about.

But precisely because they knew, they were even more astonished.

Wasn’t it supposed to be a True Spirit?

How could it be doing such laborious work on Jingtan Peak?

In Feng Ling Valley, such tasks were usually handled by low-level disciples.

The mystique surrounding the True Dragon contrasted sharply with the one now laboring diligently in front of them, creating a strong sense of discord in everyone’s minds.

This left their expressions varied.

“Brothers, let’s keep moving!”

Ji Yang, however, showed no other emotion; seeing Little White working diligently, he had no intention of finding fault.

Upon hearing Ji Yang’s reminder, the disciples quickly reacted and hurriedly followed Ji Yang, continuing toward the peak.

But before they could take two steps, a massive creature suddenly leapt over their heads.

As the scene darkened for them, they looked back up.

Before them was a strange spiritual beast with four hooves stepping on flames and a single horn atop its head.

Though they couldn’t name it, its several zhang long body and extraordinary presence made it clear that it was definitely not an ordinary spiritual beast.

Before the others could speculate, the enormous spiritual beast charged straight for the True Dragon!

This scene made everyone’s faces light up with excitement and tension.

Could it be? Were these two spiritual beasts about to fight?

A spiritual beast bold enough to confront a True Dragon must definitely be another True Spirit!

Otherwise, it would be suppressed by the aura of the True Spirit!

They had hoped to witness the clash of two great True Spirits, but as they watched, the beast heading toward the True Dragon suddenly turned and pounced toward another spiritual field.

Upon reaching the spiritual field, its single horn sparkled with electricity, and in moments, countless bolts of lightning spread across the entire field, turning the seedlings of spiritual grains in the spiritual field to charred ashes.

Afterward, this gigantic spiritual beast headed away, seemingly comparing its speed with that of the True Dragon!

At this point, everyone was stunned.

However, with the True Dragon in front, they quickly regained their composure.

The leading Foundation Establishment stage disciple flashed a look of admiration; it was no wonder they were on Jingtan Peak. He realized that his earlier thoughts matched those of the other disciples, but what he saw now completely reshaped his understanding.

Keeping two True Spirits within the peak was not something other peaks could compare to!

At this moment, even if another True Spirit appeared, it would not seem out of the ordinary to him.

As this thought arose, the Foundation Establishment disciple smiled inwardly.

He was thinking too much; different True Spirits had a strong sense of territoriality and usually wouldn’t remain in the same place. Perhaps the reason for the peaceful coexistence of these two True Spirits was the pressure from Peak Master Ye!

Yet, while this Foundation Establishment disciple was pondering, an enormous turtle shell, as large as a grinding wheel, suddenly rolled down the path ahead.

Its bright shell was adorned with special patterns!

Seeing this, panic spread across their faces because the turtle shell was about to crash into them.

The aura it radiated shocked everyone; not to mention the collision itself, they weren’t even sure if they’d be left whole just from a single touch.

Just as everyone was in a state of alarm, Ji Yang kicked out, sending the rolling turtle shell flying toward a distant spiritual field!

“Ouch!”

A voice came from inside the turtle shell.

Its four limbs and head quickly emerged from the shell, wanting to see who dared to disturb it.

But upon seeing Ji Yang, it immediately made its way toward the vacant spiritual field!

Arriving at the spiritual field, it shook its body, instantly turning countless seedlings of spiritual grains into tiny fragments, merging them into the earth.

After finishing its task, the creature glanced at the other two beasts working diligently nearby, didn’t bother to look further, and hurriedly picked up the pace!

At this moment, the disciples had lost their expressions.

Being able to speak like a human was undoubtedly a sign of a True Spirit!

Moreover, this True Spirit looked exactly like the legendary Xuanwu, leaving no room for criticism!

“Brothers, let’s move ahead!”

While everyone was dazed, Ji Yang reminded them once more.

“Okay, okay!”

Hearing Ji Yang’s reminder, everyone quickly came back to their senses and sped up their steps!

However, at that moment, the way the disciples looked at Ji Yang was filled with a peculiar light!

They had not expected that the seemingly ordinary Jingtan Peak was home to three True Spirits!

If this information got out, countless disciples would surely come to pay their respects.

It was said that the longer one stayed with True Spirits, the more favor they would receive from the heavens.

Three True Spirits meant three times the favor; how incredible was that?

Excited, the disciples could hardly contain their urge to roll around in the spiritual field where the three spiritual beasts had been!

But with Senior Brother Ji still nearby, they could only think about it in their hearts.

Yet soon, these disciples realized that even staying on Jingtan Peak would have such an effect, and their expressions slightly changed!

They could tell they had made the right choice in coming to Jingtan Peak.

Fortunately, there were no other True Spirits approaching them, or they might have begun to doubt where exactly they were.

As they continued walking, the group soon reached the peak.

The first sight that met their eyes was two ordinary wooden houses.

Though simple in appearance, these houses occupied the sacred ground of Jingtan Peak, prompting them to observe closely.

However, after scrutinizing for a while, they realized these were indeed just two regular wooden houses, and the materials used for construction were not aromatic agarwood but rather common wood found everywhere.

But when they spotted the spiritual field not far from the wooden houses, their expressions changed once again.

For within that spiritual field were not spiritual grains, but an abundance of spiritual plants!
