After returning to their cave, they summoned Ye Zhenji and Shui Linbo.
"Auntie, Master." Ye Zhenji came in first.
"Greetings, Grandmasters." Shui Linbo saluted them respectfully.
Mo Tiange looked at her with a smile and said, "I've sent a message to the steward's hall to accept you as a registered disciple. From now on, you can just call us like Zhenji."
Shui Linbo was stunned, but her eyes were filled with great surprise. She hurriedly kowtowed. "Thank you for your kindness, Grandmasters!"
Previously, although she took care of their Immortal's Caves, she was still an ordinary Foundation Building disciple of Clear Spring Peak in name. It was only because of her relationship with Ye Zhenji that she obtained the opportunity to serve the two grandmasters and also their support.
In Xuanqing School, many Foundation Building disciples were jealous of her and even gossiped behind her back because she didn't have a status but got something she shouldn't have.
But now, as a registered disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, she finally got the identity she dreamed of, and no one questioned her identity and status anymore.
"You've taken good care of the cave. This is your reward."
Over the years, Shui Linbo had almost never entered Closed Door Meditation. She conscientiously took care of the cave and handled chores for them.
They weren't stingy people. Giving her the status of a registered disciple was a piece of cake for them.
"Yes," Shui Linbo said gratefully, "Linbo will do her best to do things for Grandmaster."
"I told you, you don't have to call me grandmaster anymore."
Shui Linbo hesitated for a moment and said, "… Auntie, Master."
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile and turned to Qin Xi. "Do you want to say it?"
Qin Xi nodded and said, "I have something to tell you. You have to be prepared."
Ye Zhenji and Shui Linbo stood respectfully in front of him and said, "The current situation is critical. Soon, the two of us will leave the mountain.
Zhenji, you've reached the peak stage of the Foundation Building realm, and it's time to prepare for the Core Formation realm. You'd better go out to gain experience. Only when your mental state is strong enough can you prepare to form your Core Formation realm. "
"Yes, Master," Ye Zhenji answered without hesitation.
Qin Xi smiled and said, "Let me make it clear to you first. You're going out to gain experience, not with us."
"Huh?" Ye Zhenji was stunned. "Master, what do you mean?"
"It means that you can't go the same way as us."
"You have to rely on your own strength to survive the battle and find an opportunity to form your Gold Core."
"Really?" Ye Zhenji wasn't worried at all. Instead, he was eager to try. "Then where should I go?
South?
Or Tiandao Sect? "
"We'll talk about this later."
Qin Xi turned his gaze to Shui Linbo, who was deep in thought. "Linbo, what do you think?"
Shui Linbo hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I also want to go and gain experience."
Qin Xi said, "Ever since you entered the school, you've never left the school, so it's only natural for you to go and gain experience.
Cultivation isn't like cultivating behind closed doors. Without experience, you can't cultivate your mental state. If your mental state isn't strong enough, it will be difficult for you to advance. If you want to reach Core Formation, you really do need some experience. "
"But —" At this point, his tone changed. Shui Linbo looked up nervously, but Qin Xi said, "You can go, but not with Zhenji."
Shui Linbo was taken aback. "Why?"
Mo Tiange said, "You have more ideas than Zhenji. If you go together, Zhenji won't have enough experience, so it's better if you go separately."
Shui Linbo turned her head and glanced at Ye Zhenji. Then she turned back and nodded firmly. "Yes." She thought for a moment and said, "But about the cave …"
"It's okay," Qin Xi said, "Let the steward's hall send someone. You just need to sort out the affairs of the cave and hand them over to them."
"Yes, Master."
Then, Qin Xi dismissed the two of them and said, "We should also get ready."
"En."
According to Senior Martial Brother Xuanyin, their trip might take several years or even more than ten years, so they had to be prepared.
Mo Tiange got up and suddenly felt something. She touched the space between her eyebrows and entered the Virtual Sky World.
The white tiger's breath that filled the whole Virtual Sky World had disappeared and was replaced by a thick and sharp breath.
Mo Tiange was delighted. She walked to the front of the spiritual beast house and called, "Feifei?"
There was no answer for a long time, but Feifei's breath was clearly in the spiritual beast house. Was it still absorbing the white tiger's breath?
When Qin Xi absorbed the Vermilion Bird's breath, it took him a long time. Maybe it was the same for Feifei.
She turned around and was about to go back to the cultivation room when she suddenly heard a soft "squeak" behind her. The door opened.
"Feifei?" She looked happy and turned around.
But the next moment, she was stunned.
"How is it?" A clear and pleasant voice came, carrying Feifei's unique laziness and arrogance.
But, but —
Why is there a person standing in front of me?!
Mo Tiange pointed ahead in a daze. "You —"
"I what?"
Mo Tiange blinked several times before she was sure what she saw was real and that she wasn't hallucinating.
Standing at the door of the spiritual beast house wasn't the golden-furred Feifei, but a yellow-clothed teenager.
The teenager was thin, handsome, and dressed in yellow clothes, which made him look as white as snow. At this moment, he was leaning against the door lazily with his arms crossed. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Mo Tiange stared at him for a long time, but the first thing she said was, "What? You're not a female?"
The teenager was stunned. His fair face suddenly turned red, and he pointed at her. "You … You don't even know whether I'm male or female?"
"I'm not a Feifei. How could I tell whether you're male or female?"
The teenager almost couldn't breathe. He'd been with her for more than a hundred years, but he didn't even know whether she was male or female!
What kind of master is this?
Mo Tiange continued, "You love beauty and have a proud temperament, so I naturally thought you were female."
"Nonsense!" The teenager said angrily, "You humans love beauty, but we spiritual beasts love beauty!
If you don't love beauty, how can you attract females to mate with you?! "
"Mate?
Feifei, you're so direct. Do you want to find a female Feifei to mate with? "As soon as this sentence came out, the topic was twisted.
"…"
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them sat opposite each other in the cultivation room. This time, it was really two people, not one human and one beast.
Next to the coffee table, on the small stove, the water bubbled.
The teenager, who was Feifei after its transformation, lifted the teapot and slowly made tea.
When it was still in its beast form, it could make tea. Now that it had transformed into its human form, its movements were even more familiar and elegant.
The fragrance of tea slowly spread. Feifei picked up the teacup, put it in front of its nose, and smelled the fragrance. It showed a satisfied and intoxicated expression.
"I say …" Mo Tiange coughed softly. "Do you want to tell me what's going on first?"
"What's going on?" Feifei, who was focused on tasting the tea, answered carelessly.
"Of course it's about your transformation!"
Mo Tiange stared at Feifei's face, trying to see a flower. "You obviously haven't advanced to the eighth rank, so how can you transform?"
Before the eighth rank, demonic beasts were only demonic beasts no matter how strong they were. They couldn't transform into humans unless they advanced to the eighth rank.
This was common sense. Mo Tiange had never heard of an exception.
However, Feifei in front of her was obviously only in the seventh rank, but he succeeded in transforming. Moreover, there were no ears left, no fur left, and no traces of a demonic beast were left.
To transform so thoroughly, it must be a tenth rank demonic beast, right?
Feifei said, "What's so strange about that?
The five spirits can transform as soon as they are born. I absorbed White Tiger's Breath and obtained White Tiger's Bone to transform my body, so I have a part of White Tiger's bloodline. Of course I can transform. "
"… I see."
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then asked, "White Tiger's Breath is so strong, so why didn't you advance to the eighth rank?"
"How can it be that easy for spiritual beasts to advance?" Feifei said, "For spiritual beasts, transformation in the eighth rank is like a natural moat.
Before the eighth rank, no matter how strong they are, they are still ignorant beasts. Once they advance to the eighth rank, they will gain spiritual wisdom and become the spirit of all living things.
This kind of heaven-defying matter can only be obtained through great fated chances.
Xiaofan's ancestor lived for five or six thousand years, but he still couldn't advance to the eighth rank.
Compared to humans, we spiritual beasts have a much longer lifespan, and reproduction is also easy, so we can give birth to eighth rank spiritual beasts that are no less than human Nascent Soul cultivators. "
"Is that so?
That means it won't be easy for you to advance to the eighth rank … "
"That's not true." The corners of Feifei's lips rose slightly. Coupled with his beautiful appearance, he could really be called a flower and the moon. "Some time ago, I ate a lot of Blood-eating Vines, and with White Tiger's power, it's only a matter of time for me to advance to the eighth rank."
After drinking a cup of tea, he glanced at her. "What's with your expression?"
Mo Tiange said, "It's also a matter of time for Xiaofan and Xiaohuo to advance to the eighth rank." They lived in the Virtual Sky World and had countless spiritual plants, so it was hard for them not to advance to the eighth rank.
Feifei curled his lips and didn't answer.
Speaking of cultivation, it really wasn't his strong suit. If it hadn't happened to meet White Tiger, it would have taken a long time to advance to the seventh rank.
Mo Tiange couldn't help but laugh when she saw its expression.
Feifei, this guy, was hateful, but it had one good point — it never lied.
Xiaohuo and Xiaofan were stronger than it in terms of cultivation. Although it was unwilling, it had to admit it.
"By the way," Mo Tiange said seriously, "after you absorbed White Tiger's Breath, did your body change?"
Feifei raised its head. "What do you mean?"
She said, "I know the Feifei Clan doesn't have the means to fight; it's only their innate talent that allows them to coexist peacefully with all demonic beasts.
But White Tiger is known as the Fiend God. It's violent and murderous, and it's very strong. Now that you have the White Tiger's bloodline, have you learned any innate magic? "
Feifei chuckled but didn't answer.
It leisurely drank a cup of tea then waved its hand. A golden light flew out of its sleeve and deftly circled around, causing the bamboo forest in front of them to collapse with a loud bang. Xiaohuo and Xiaofan, who were cultivating, were startled.
Mo Tiange was also startled.
These bamboos had lived here for tens of thousands of years, so they were hard and extraordinary.
Feifei just waved its hand lightly, yet it razed a bamboo forest to the ground. Even ordinary Core Formation cultivators couldn't compare to this kind of strength!
The golden light leaped back. Feifei opened its hand and grabbed it. This flowing golden light then turned into a slender blade in its palm.
Just by approaching it, Mo Tiange could already feel the ruthless aura from the blade of light. It was as if countless saber lights and sword shadows were gathered together and filled the air with a murderous aura.
Feifei said complacently, "This move is called White Tiger Strike. Once I advance to the eighth rank, ordinary cultivators won't be able to withstand this strike of mine."
