Chapter 130: Chapter 28: Unintentionally Made a Breakthrough- New book asks for monthly tickets! _1

"Baize’s food consumption has greatly increased?"

In the Pill Furnace Hall, when this news was reported by two junior disciples, several high-ranking deacon disciples instantly became nervous.

Pill Furnace Elder, one of the four elders of Zhenshan, was in charge of managing various matters on Shu Mountain, including elixirs, spirit plants, and spirit beasts, and naturally, the rearing of the Baize cub fell under his jurisdiction. However, due to the revered status of the Pill Furnace Elder, he wouldn’t deal with such minor matters personally; instead, he entrusted them to trustworthy sect disciples.

For these deacon disciples, any small matter related to the Baize cub was of great importance to them. Whether it ate more or less in a meal, both were alarmingly significant.

"The sudden doubling of its food intake isn’t normal at all, could it be that Little Baize is about to break through?" one of the deacon disciples speculated.

"Perhaps..." another one approved, "Let’s increase the amount of Spirit Feeding Pills we provide from tomorrow and observe whether this is just a one-day anomaly or if it will continue. If it does, then it might indeed mean that Baize is about to make a breakthrough!"

His voice was tinged with excitement, as eating more is generally a positive sign—it might be an indication that the spiritual power that Baize need has increased. If Little Baize grows, then those in charge of its upbringing would naturally receive merit.

"Could it be possible that a thief is involved?" another deacon disciple quietly questioned, "Because even if Baize needed an increased amount of spiritual power to break through, the abrupt doubling seems too outrageous, doesn’t it?"

"Hmm..." the group collectively pondered on hearing his suggestion, but they all immediately shook their heads in unison, "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Their conclusion could not be considered rash.

Baize is a kind of spirit beast with a very strong territorial instinct. The Pill Furnace Hall disciple who delivered food to the Baize cub daily was personally introduced to it by the Pill Furnace Elder to prevent it from attacking. Most people on Shu Mountain didn’t dare to approach the Guard Peak carelessly because of the cub’s strong aggression; it would attack any foreigner by ramming its head into them.

Moreover, there are few on Shu Mountain with stronger cultivation than the Baize cub. Why would someone with such power need to sneakily steal Spirit Feeding Pills? Even if they managed to steal them, the Baize cub would certainly react once it realized—its current tranquility would be disrupted.

As for the possibility of the act being committed by an acquaintance...

Everyone in Shu Mountain knows about Baize’s proud nature. Over the years, it seems to have made friends only with Immortal Jiang of Biluo peak. Would Immortal Jiang ever stoop to stealing feed?

This far-fetched guess made everyone laugh. The Pill Furnace Hall was filled with a jovial atmosphere.

...

"Belch——"

Having eaten till it was round and portly, the Golden Fur Beast was lying there lazily, extending its big head and letting out a contented burp. Chu Liang frowns at the sound.

"Go, go, get away from me." He pushed away the big head, "Go and play by yourself."

But the Golden Fur Beast was still stubbornly nuzzling Chu Liang, showing extreme intimacy, getting all cuddly.

Now, Chu Liang’s place in its heart has soared to the top, ranking first as its sweet and good owner. Regarding the fierce lady owner, it should not be discovered if it secretly ranks her second.

The big head sneakily glanced back at the direction of Empress Feng’s loft.

Chu Liang was fiddling with his Gold Pattern Flowers and Gold Pattern Berries in the little flower field. After a few days of fallow, the soil fertility in the field has been restored. He sprinkled Plant Spirit Medicine Powder on it and was now watering it, waiting for the harvest.

By tomorrow, dozens of fruits could be sold. Right now, he was pondering the best pricing strategy in his heart.

It’s just a pity that the fruit he had initially used to experiment with was Dragon Breath Golden Prints Juice Fruit. Now that it was just ordinary Gold Pattern Berry, there was bound to be a difference in quality.

Just as he was deep in thought, the big head approached him again.

However, this time it was targeting a fruit that had just matured — its panting and heavy breathing indicating its longing for it.

Discussing solely based on taste, the spirit fruits that they ate on the Guard Peak really weren’t as tasty as the Gold Pattern Berries. No wonder the big head was drooling.

"You’re not allowed to touch these." Chu Liang held its nose to nip its criminal intentions in the bud, "I took you to eat so many delicious fruits, these are what I’m saving to sell for money. If you dare to steal them, I will neuter you."

"War——"

It was unclear whether the Golden Fur Beast understood or not, but it leapt up immediately, turned around, and ran away, tucking in its hind legs.

Having enjoyed gourmet foods in Shu Mountain and also attained the freedom not to be locked in a cage, from the lively gait it sported, it was clear the beast was very happy.

As soon as the ’big head’ had run off into the distance, a soft rumble of thunder echoed from the sky, and it started to drizzle. In the night, the rain shone like golden threads.

"Again?"

Chu Liang looked up at the rain clouds in the sky, genuinely puzzled by now.

Because Little Yi had mentioned that it had not rained on Silver Sword Peak these days, but as soon as he returned, it started raining again. Could it be that the rain caused by dragon qi was actually only following him around?

Very strange indeed.

He didn’t think it followed his master because Empress Feng was not at the peak at the moment; she had just gone to Biluo peak to return the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword.

Chu Liang looked distantly in the direction of the Dragon Fishing Pool.

Why was the real dragon doing this?

...

"Real Dragon or a fake one, if it dares to challenge me, I’ll send it into deafness with a single punch," Empress Feng said indifferently. In front of her was a pond reflecting the silvery moonlight, akin to a perfectly flat piece of white jade.

It was the Guxuan Peak and Dragon Fishing Pool.

She had initially gone to Biluo Peak to return the sword and later found out that Daoist Yan had gone to Guxuan Peak, so she came looking for him.

As she radiated fiery energy, ripples unsettling the initial tranquility of the Dragon Fishing Pool. Old Man Sikong chuckled, warning her not to disturb the real dragon with her divine phoenix fire.

Hence, Empress Feng’s retort.

Upon hearing this, it was unknown if the White Dragon hidden in the pool heard her, but the water surface resumed its tranquility.

"The Real Dragon helps maintain the blessings of Shu Mountain, and all our disciples should revere it more than Baize," Old Man Sikong calmly reminded her. "Have you forgotten Sect Leader’s strict edict?"

"Fine, I can’t be bothered arguing over your trivialities," Empress Feng waved her hand dismissively and placed the sword box on the ground. "Yan Zi, I’ve brought back your precious Divine Sword."

Daoist Yan, dressed in a Taoist robe, was sitting on a large white lotus platform. She waved her hand to retrieve the sword box, peered at the Xaoyun Ancient Sword inside, and nodded slightly, "I was worried that you might switch the real sword for a fake one, seems like you’re not that horrible."

"Oh." Empress Feng face slightly changed, hand to forehead, "Why didn’t I think of that!"

"Fortunately, you didn’t," Old Man Sikong chuckled from the side, "Otherwise, our curiosity about the identity of the first peak master of Shu Mountain would finally be satisfied."

"Hmph." Empress Feng glanced at him, "I wouldn’t hit Yan Zi regardless of anyone else, I trust her, and I’m sure she feels the same way about me."

Daoist Yan blinked, saying nothing.

"..." Empress Feng’s smile gradually faded.

"Well, enough with the jokes," Old Man Sikong shook his head, "Daoist Yan and I were discussing a serious matter earlier, you might want to hear it."

"What’s the matter?" Empress Feng asked.

"Shu Mountain has a traitor." Daoist Yan broke the news.

"What?" Empress Feng was surprised.

"Recently, my disciple, Jiang Yuebai was attacked by a demon beast on the mountain. It’s clear that someone did it on purpose. I investigated but couldn’t find the culprit," Daoist Yan explained to her, "After Sikong returned successfully from his Dragon Fishing expedition, I asked him to divine the matter."

"The divination results were somewhat ambiguous, only indicating that someone in our ranks harbors nefarious intentions," Old Man Sikong interjected, "Given the individual’s ability to foil my complete divination, they’re likely a high-level cultivator at the Sixth Realm or Seventh Realm, possibly even at the Peak Master level."

"Then, my first suspect is Wang Xuanling," Empress Feng immediately stated.

"Don’t take the opportunity to oust dissent..." Old Man Sikong looked at her helplessly.

"Since everyone could be a suspect, I can just randomly suspect someone," Empress Feng laughed and then asked, "Why aren’t you suspecting me?"

Old Man Sikong kept silent and turned to Yan Daoist. Unfazed, she spoke, "We unanimously think that..."

"Whoever wants to be a mole must have brains."

...

Deep into the night.

Chu Liang sat cross-legged on his bed, starting his cultivation practice on his own.

Though he had been working hard to cultivate with the Big Head Baby, he had never relaxed his own practice. Because he knew practicing cultivation technique wasn’t just about current progress but also laid the foundation for future cultivation.

If he didn’t have full mastery over his cultivation technique, then no matter how high his inborn cultivation was, it would only be a castle in the air.

His idea was, one could look for shortcuts in anything, but one should approach shortcuts with their feet on the ground.

The sheer calmness and profound wisdom contained in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Heart Technique might prove useful for breaking through to the Wen Dao Realm in the future if he studied it diligently.

But his cultivation practice today was somewhat strange.

No matter how he cycled through the cultivation techniques, he saw no progress. Although his progress in the past was very slow, he could distinctly feel a sense of solidification as True Qi entered his Qi Sea.

But today, it felt like everything was dissipating.

The True Qi supplied from the Big Head Baby also behaved the same way; even though the Zhou Tian Puppet was rotating splendidly, it also didn’t bring about any cultivation progression.

After briefly examining himself, he confirmed that there wasn’t any problem with his body or the operation of his cultivation method.

There could only be one reason then.

Divine Consciousness Realm... the peak.

"Sigh." Chu Liang sighed softly.

Before he knew it, he had broken through again.
