Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 115 - 113: Return to the Sect

Chapter 115: Chapter 113: Return to the Sect

That day, in between his cultivation sessions, Qin Feng took out the Mechanical Wooden Box and after refining it with his True Yuan, he roughly understood how to use the Mechanical Magical Device.

He repositioned the thirty Armor-Breaking Cones he had collected earlier back into the box, gently tapped on the wooden box, and it immediately reverted to its original two-foot-long form.

Qin Feng extended his Divine Sense into it, and although some mechanisms inside were obscured by special means preventing thorough visibility, the mere sight of those things was already awe-inspiring.

The cultivators of the Central Region Mechanism City were truly ingenious; a single Magical Device-level Mechanical Box could achieve such meticulousness. He pondered how formidable the large Mechanical Puppets must be.

Qin Feng recalled the brief records about Mechanism City he had seen in the Scripture Pavilion. It was said that the whole Mechanism City was constructed from countless mechanisms, every house, every street, every section of the city wall, even every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree, were all connected to various intricate mechanisms, sophisticated yet majestic. Just thinking about it filled him with awe.

Qin Feng played with the wooden box for a while, and after figuring out how to use it, he stored it away and turned his attention to the Demon Refining Pot.

...

At this time, in the second floor of the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion, apart from the Ruyi Golden Snake, all of Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts were housed here.

The Spiritual Vulture was lying next to one of the skeletons, eyes closed in rest. After Qin Feng had substantially replenished its vitality with Elixir Pills and food, the vulture’s essence blood had mostly recovered, and it was capable of flying him.

Qin Feng felt it would be better to return to the Mountain Gate sooner rather than later. It was somewhat improper to stay outside for too long. Since the Spiritual Vulture could now fly, it was time to leave Liang City and let the vulture recuperate slowly once back at the Sect.

However, the vulture was perhaps a bit too close to that skeleton.

Qin Feng frowned slightly.

The skeletons in the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion were all formidable beings in their lifetimes, and although dead for tens of thousands of years, many still emitted a mysterious aura that instilled an inexplicable sense of dread. How could the vulture dare to be so close?

Could it be due to its innate vulture nature, still hoping to chew on a few bones?

But even if it did swallow them, it seemed pointless; although these bones still retained some trace of Spiritual Energy, it wasn’t much. Swallowing them wouldn’t bring much benefit.

Qin Feng sensed the spirit of the Spiritual Vulture; unfortunately, though it had awakened its Spiritual Intelligence, its intelligence was still limited, and it couldn’t fully express its intentions. Qin Feng could only vaguely sense that the vulture was using the aura emitted from the skeleton to cultivate.

Never mind, let it be!

Since the vulture was fine, Qin Feng stopped paying attention to it and looked towards the other Spiritual Beasts.

The Swallowing Sky Toad was sitting on a platform, its small white belly expanding and contracting, absorbing the mansion’s Spiritual Energy to cultivate.

The Green Fox’s injuries had also healed, and it was lying comfortably on the ground, licking the fur on its paws.

Qin Feng had recently bought them a lot of food, and the Green Fox had just eaten, feeling very content.

The Ghost-Faced Spider had made the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion its home, spinning a large web in one corner of the mansion, quietly staying in the center of the web. Unfortunately, there were only a few Spiritual Beasts here, and no prey came to visit.

The Giant Crocodile lay on the ground in deep slumber. This creature, low in intelligence and fierce in nature, spent its days hunting or sleeping before Qin Feng confined it in the Demon Refining Pot. Now, freed from the need to hunt, it spent most of its time in deep sleep.

Qin Feng didn’t mind; after all, he had only subdued the Giant Crocodile because it was ferocious in battle, merely keeping it as a fighter. It could do whatever it wanted normally.

After observing his Spiritual Beasts, he withdrew his spirit, shifting his attention to his own wrist.

Like a golden bracelet, the Ruyi Golden Snake coiled around his wrist, its scales finely detailed and shining brightly. If one didn’t look closely, it was hard to tell it was a Spiritual Snake.

At this moment, the demon energy inside the Ruyi Golden Snake was faint; it had been almost completely refined by Qin Feng during this period.

He now wore the Ruyi Golden Snake every day, cultivating with it, infusing his True Yuan into its body, familiarizing himself with the snake’s power, and gradually completing the transformation.

Even when not cultivating, he would always try to keep his breath in sync with the Ruyi Golden Snake to accelerate their integration.

Qin Feng caressed the cool body of the Ruyi Golden Snake, feeling satisfied. Although this mission had involved several dangers, he felt that all his efforts were worthwhile. Now that he had his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, his cultivation path was clear, and he no longer felt as lost as before.

Thinking of this mission, he remembered Ma Jiu and wondered if that fellow had escaped the pursuit of the two Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Mountain.

However, considering Ma Jiu’s cunning nature, it was unlikely that he didn’t have hidden tricks up his sleeve. Qin Feng felt that there was a greater possibility that he had escaped.

To ensure that the Spiritual Vulture had enough strength for their flight, Qin Feng had deliberately stayed two more days in Liang City. After the Spiritual Vulture’s vitality had recovered somewhat, he left Liang City and rode the Spiritual Vulture, heading towards the direction of his Sect.

Unlike his journey to the mission, he returned alone, without the experienced Ma Jiu accompanying him. He was extra cautious. Whenever he encountered other cultivators flying by in the sky, he kept his distance.

As a Qi Refining Realm disciple from the Outer Sect of the Beast Taming Sect, his cultivation was weak. Those cultivators who managed to fly were at least at the Foundation Establishment Realm. As long as he didn’t seek trouble proactively, no one would bother him. Although the journey was somewhat lonely, he encountered no danger.

After over ten days, Qin Feng returned to the Sect and went straight to the Foreign Affairs Hall to report the completion of the mission and to collect his rewards.

“Qin Feng?”

The disciple from the Foreign Affairs Hall who received him was somewhat surprised, looking at him and then at the details recorded about the mission, he said in astonishment, “You were on a mission with Ma Jiu. He returned earlier and mentioned you were being pursued by disciples from Taiyi Mountain and might have been killed. I didn’t expect you to return safely?”

“Senior brother is making fun of me.”

Qin Feng said, “I was indeed pursued by disciples from Taiyi Mountain and ended up in the Ancient Battlefield. I was trapped in a perilous place but finally managed to escape and returned to the Sect.”

“It’s good that you’re back.”

The disciple noted Qin Feng’s safe return in the mission book. The Sect would keep a record of these events. If Qin Feng could enter the Inner Sect in the future, the Sect would conduct a more comprehensive assessment of him, and all these details would be useful.

“Originally, if you hadn’t returned, the Sect would have considered you as having died on duty and would have given your family some resources as compensation. However, since you have returned, those compensations are naturally needless. Now, I will give you the rewards for the completion of the mission as usual.”

With that, the Foundation Establishment disciple took out two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones from behind and handed them to him, “Here you go. The reward for this mission was initially five hundred Spirit Stones, divided equally between you and Ma Jiu. Keep it safe.”

“Thank you, senior brother.”

Qin Feng took the Spirit Stones and excused himself.

After he returned to his place at the Spiritual Snake Peak, he sent a Green Bird to inform Qin Xi and Qin Ying of his safe return. After a moment’s thought, he also sent a Green Bird to inform Ma Jiu.

Less than half an hour later, Qin Xi and Qin Ying arrived one after the other.

Qin Xi’s eyes were still somewhat red when she saw him.

Ma Jiu had previously visited them to inform them about Qin Feng being pursued by Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Mountain. They had waited for a long time without Qin Feng’s return, leading them to believe that he might have met with a mishap, so Qin Xi had been grieving for Qin Feng during this period.

Now that she saw Qin Feng returned safely, she was overjoyed and soon asked about his experiences during the mission.

Qin Feng concealed the matter of the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion and simply relayed to them a brief summary, not revealing everything.

While he had not even finished his story, loud laughter echoed from outside, “Junior Brother Qin, you’re back safely, haha… That’s great, senior brother here looked for you for several days and couldn’t find you, I even thought something had happened to you!”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, stood up, and welcomed Ma Jiu inside.

The two had fought side by side on two separate occasions and had formed a bond. They were both very happy to see each other.

Qin Feng even specially went to the Spiritual Meal Hall and called for some wine and dishes for them to enjoy and chat over. They drank deep into the night before each went their separate ways.
