My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

"This is our Eldest Senior Brother. Master took him in back when he was still an Independent Cultivator. He practices both Body Refinement and Qi Cultivation, and he also inherited Master’s skills in Alchemy and arrays."

Ji Feng led Xuanzhu to Iron Head’s Cave Mansion.

As a Mingyi Dog, Iron Head’s lifespan was considered short among the disciples, so he now had the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Because he cultivated the Nine Yang Body, he was still exceptionally tall, even without revealing his True Body.

He was currently sitting cross-legged atop a cliff, channeling the Celestial True Gang. When he saw his fellow disciples arrive, he slowly withdrew his power and leaped straight down from the cliff face.

"Eldest Senior Brother, this is Master’s newest disciple, our Seventh Junior Brother. His name is Xuanzhu."

Iron Head nodded. He possessed Bright Qi Talent, and his cultivation of the Grotto Dark Dharma Eye had reached a profound level. With a single glance, he could tell that Xuanzhu was no ordinary person.

"What’s Eldest Senior Brother’s name?"

Xuanzhu asked innocently.

Ji Feng stiffened and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Little Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother’s name is Iron Head. Just call him Eldest Senior Brother from now on."

Xuanzhu bowed respectfully to Iron Head.

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother Iron Head!"

Iron Head’s hand, already reaching inside his robes, paused for a beat. He still pulled out a bottle of Elixirs.

"These are Tier Two Spirit Containing Pills I refined before. They can replenish your Innate Vitality. Take them, Junior Brother. One pill every seven days."

He had originally refined these Spirit Pills for himself.

After reaching the Golden Core with his Nine Yang Body, Iron Head had wanted to emulate his master and also cultivate the Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture to the Golden Core Realm, but Yang Jing stopped him.

With his Talent, if he specialized in the Nine Yang Body with Yang Jing’s support, he would have at least an eighty percent chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. But if he were to split his focus to cultivate the Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture, he would waste a great deal of his lifespan—an unwise move.

Of course, Iron Head would not defy Yang Jing’s teachings. He temporarily set aside his Qi Cultivation and instead used the five strands of Nine Marvelous Creation Qi gifted by Nine Marvels on his True Body.

He chose to focus on the path of Body Refinement.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Xuanzhu happily accepted the Spirit Pills, feeling a new sense of closeness to his Eldest Senior Brother.

’He was certain now. Master’s disciples were all good, decent people.’ He felt a stronger sense of belonging to his new sect.

Ji Feng then explained Xuanzhu’s origins to Iron Head.

Although he knew Xuanzhu’s origins couldn’t be simple, Iron Head was still shocked to learn he had been born from an Earth Puppet. ’Master’s Divine Techniques are becoming more and more profound, leaving me with only a blurry view of his back.’

He instantly severed the frustration in his heart, his resolve to pursue the Dao growing even firmer.

"As it happens, I’m free. I’ll take you both to visit our other junior brothers and sisters."

With that, he summoned his Gang Qi and flew directly with the two of them to the entrance of Yinjiao’s Cave Mansion.

Yinjiao had only recently achieved Core Formation, but with his Talent, he had already stabilized his Cultivation. Sensing the trio’s auras, he immediately emerged from his Cave Mansion.

A True Dragon’s lifespan is naturally long. Yinjiao’s appearance had hardly changed since he first underwent Transformation, having only gained a more noble air.

Seeing Yinjiao’s coolly handsome appearance, Xuanzhu wished he could go back and have his master reforge his entire body.

"This is Senior Brother Yinjiao. He is skilled in Swordsmanship and Talisman Making."

Ji Feng explained to Xuanzhu.

Seeing Yinjiao’s cool and aloof demeanor, Xuanzhu didn’t dare to be as forward as he had been with Iron Head and Ji Feng, so he gave a proper, respectful bow.

Yinjiao smiled at Xuanzhu and took a silver, leaf-shaped Talisman from his robes. He actually possessed considerable Talent in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining, but since the Supreme Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture was so difficult, he had only dabbled in the art of Talisman Making. Even so, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, he could already paint Tier Three Talismans with ease.

"This is a Water Dragon Talisman. When activated, it transforms into a Water Dragon Magical Sword to fight your enemies. Take it for your protection, Junior Brother."

The group went on to visit the remaining disciples. Even Si Taizhen, who was in seclusion, came out to meet Xuanzhu. The seven of them then decided to hold a banquet right there in Yellow Foot’s Cave Mansion.

By this point, Yellow Foot’s skill with Spiritual Food was already quite refined. Although he could still only prepare Tier Two Spiritual Food, the flavor was exquisite. Chi Yu had caught a great deal of Spirit Fish while hunting Demon Monsters, which Yellow Foot then prepared into a variety of delicious dishes, each one suffused with Spiritual Qi.

Iron Head also secretly brought out some Spirit Wine he had brewed himself, pouring a little for each of his fellow disciples.

As their Cultivation had improved, they had all been busy with training and the missions their master assigned. It had been a long time since they had all gathered together like this.

The Spirit Wine Iron Head brewed was quite potent; even Yinjiao’s face was flushed red. He pulled Iron Head along, beating on a stone as a drum, as Ji Feng sang in a loud, clear voice, Yellow Foot plucked at a stringed instrument, and Chi Yu began to dance.

Since he was technically not even a week old, Xuanzhu was forbidden from drinking and could only sip fish soup while watching his senior brothers and sisters.

He felt the gifts from his senior brothers and sisters inside his Storage Bag. ’It really is a blessing to have been accepted as Master Yang Jing’s disciple,’ he thought suddenly.

The banquet lasted for a full day and a night. The disciples reminisced about their earlier days under their master, spending endless days and nights on Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Talisman Painting just to earn Spirit Stones. The tales made Xuanzhu shudder.

Just as the seven of them, having had their fill of fun, were about to build a Cave Mansion for Xuanzhu on Dawn Island, Si Taizhen suddenly raised an eyebrow. She had been with the other six for a full day and night, only speaking up to ask a few curious questions whenever they mentioned Yang Jing’s past.

"Someone’s coming."

After Yang Jing established his formidable reputation, Dawn Island had become a virtual forbidden zone in the Thousand Islands Alliance. Ordinary Independent Cultivators wouldn’t dare approach it recklessly. Even from within the Thousand Islands Alliance, only Wood Palace True Monarch would occasionally visit.

After confirming with Yang Jing that the Nine Marvels Sect was only temporarily stationed on Canghe Island, even Wood Palace True Monarch only visited once every few months.

"Senior Sister, is the visitor Wood Palace True Monarch?"

Iron Head asked.

Although his Spiritual Sense was keen, it was ultimately far inferior to that of Si Taizhen, who had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Si Taizhen shook her head.

"The visitor is merely a Golden Core Cultivator. The Cultivation Technique he practices is from the same lineage as you and Ji Feng, but his aura is unstable and his Magical Power is impure. He’s far inferior to you two."

Iron Head stood up at once.

"It’s a fellow disciple from the Five Elements True Spirit Sect! Is he in trouble?"

"He is alone. He’ll arrive here in about an hour."

Si Taizhen said, adding that she was certain the cultivator’s Magical Power was stable, so he didn’t seem to be fleeing a pursuer.

Iron Head and Yinjiao exchanged a look. ’Could something major have happened to the Sect?’ They had spent more than a decade with Yang Jing at the Five Elements True Spirit Sect and still held deep affection for it.

An hour later, a streak of Tunneling Light did indeed appear on the horizon, flying straight toward Dawn Island.

The Tunneling Light abruptly dispersed over Dawn Island, revealing a Cultivator dressed in a golden robe.

"Is Yang Jing of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect on this island?"

He was somewhat curious why an island with such dense Spiritual Qi had so few cultivators living on it, but he still asked in a haughty, high-and-mighty tone.
