258: Chapter 98 Li Dazhi’s Happy Times_3 258: Chapter 98 Li Dazhi’s Happy Times_3 This would then become the symbol of their mentor-disciple relationship.

Li Dazhi handed over the brocade box, grinning, “Take a look!

Your mount!”

Mount?

Li Ping’an’s eyes lit up at the words, and he took the brocade box, discovering it was just a Storage Treasure in the shape of a brocade box.

This Treasure was quite valuable, as it could hold living creatures inside; however, Li Ping’an carefully discerned that the Treasure could hold very few creatures, and there were many restrictions—it could only hold an egg…

the size of a fist.

Li Ping’an carefully took out the egg enveloped in immortal light and examined it closely in front of him.

“Dad, what kind of egg is this?”

“A mount.

I’m not sure about the specifics,” Li Dazhi chuckled, “There’s something special about it!”

Li Ping’an inspected the Spirit Beast Egg closely and asked softly, “What’s special?”

“So-called ancient mystical beasts come in all shapes and sizes, with even a hint of ancient bloodline being labeled as such.

They are quite the deal!”

Li Dazhi spoke hastily,

“Do you know why those two old Heavenly Immortals ran back?

They went to exchange for this egg!

“These two Treasure Robes are just formal attire, nothing extraordinary.

The East Alliance has strict standards—what rank, what kind of insignia, what materials—all are fixed.

“But the mount, there are so many interpretations!

“I was chatting with them just now, and after some deliberation, I understood…

listen to me.

“Commands from the East Alliance are issued by the Embassy Hall, where only the Immortals in the Embassy Hall can communicate with the Alliance Hierarchs and Vice Alliance Hierarchs.

“While drafting the Alliance Hierarch’s edict, the Immortals of the Embassy Hall were vague, and when it came to an ancient mystical beast mount, those three old Heavenly Immortals initially looked down on Wanyun Sect, ranking only in the teens, and they…

hehehe, you know, they casually picked a common Fire-Eye Golden Beast.

“But you showed your hand, didn’t you?

When they opened the edict and saw it!

Oh my!

Third rank!

Those three old Heavenly Immortals panicked right away.

“They rushed back to exchange for your mount.

“There are many treasures in the East Alliance, all confiscated from the Ancient Heavenly Court.

The mount in your hands is one of the top Spirit Beasts from their storerooms!”

Li Ping’an was a bit puzzled, “Is it really as complicated as you say?”

“Of course, it is,” Li Dazhi laughed, “Those three old geezers also mentioned an Immortal, Wen Rou the Heavenly Immortal.”

“Aunt Wen Rou?”

Li Ping’an’s eyes brightened as he introduced proactively,

“She’s an exceptionally outstanding Heavenly Immortal, the same senior I previously wanted to introduce to you, Father.”

“Don’t interrupt, let me finish!

Hahaha!”

Li Dazhi slapped the armrest and laughed,

“After they returned, they were uncertain of the higher-ups’ intentions and also saw the badge of that old man Tianli.

Coincidentally, Tianli’s only daughter is that Wen Rou, who recently returned to the East Continent.

They hurried to consult with her.”

“All this I deduced from what they were saying.”

“They asked: What kind of mount should we give to Li Ping’an?

“The Heavenly Immortal replied: It must be the best.”

“Then, the Immortals from the East Alliance brought out their treasured items from the bottom of their chests!

Your egg in hand, is said to be a bloodline of an ancient divine beast, one of the Four Symbols, and it has an extremely rich bloodline!

With proper nurturing, it might one day possess the power of a True Immortal or a Heavenly Immortal!

“This is the real treasure!

In the future, your mount could even bite a Heavenly Immortal to death!

Hahahaha!”

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Dad, keep it down; you’re laughing too loudly.”

“Oh, I’m happy!

I’m thrilled!

Before, I was pressing you to take the civil service exam, but what ended up happening?

You joined the Immortal Realm to become a civil servant!”

Li Dazhi gestured grandly, pulling out two Jade Talismans from his sleeve, and urged,

“Quick, these are the Beast Taming Mantras given by the Sect Leader.

You should first refine this mount, and then I’ll go hatch it for you.

“I’ll use the Great Fortune to make a nest, feed the egg with a variety of Treasured Materials and Spirit Grass, and see if I can make it even more formidable for you!”

Li Ping’an earnestly replied, “Dad, why don’t you refine it?

I won’t be needing a high-grade Spirit Beast for the time being.”

Li Dazhi glared at Li Ping’an, “What?

If I needed a mount, couldn’t I get one myself?

What I give to you is yours; don’t look down on me!”

Li Ping’an shook his head, smiling.

Under his father’s repeated urging, he activated the Beast Taming Mantra, forced out three drops of his essence blood from his index finger, and merged them into the Spirit Egg.

After performing the Beast Taming Mantra, Li Ping’an suddenly felt a deeper understanding in his heart.

He vaguely saw a White Tiger standing on the peak of a mountain, roaring defiantly at the sky, with huge white wings unfurled behind it.

Could this be…

A descendant of the divine beast White Tiger?

Li Ping’an looked at his father, frowning, “Using a descendant of the Four Symbols as a mount, wouldn’t that be taboo?”

“Who cares what it is, as long as it’s impressive!

Anyway, it’s your mount now!”

Li Dazhi took the brocade box, grinning broadly,

“I’ll go help you hatch the egg and make polite conversation.

You think about how to be a good official next.

“Oh, and remember, although Wanyun Sect faces many troubles right now, you must never think of using your official position for the benefit of Wanyun Sect.”

“I can handle Wanyun Sect’s affairs.

If you blur the lines between public and private, I’ll discipline you with the sole of my shoe!”

Li Ping’an responded, dispirited, “Yes, Father, I obey your order.

You’re overthinking it; it’s really just an honorary title!”

“Third rank, hehehe!

A proper third rank!”

Li Dazhi departed briskly.

When exactly would that mount hatch, nobody knew, but Li Dazhi had already made up his mind to gather various treasures for the mount.

Several days later.

The news that Li Ping’an had been appointed the Third Rank Inspector for the East Alliance caused a tremendous uproar in the East Continent.

Within the Sea Watch Sect, more than a dozen inner sect elders gathered, their expressions filled with gloom and despair.
