Chapter 9 — Phai Nu established the Divine Beast Sect

His eyes immediately turned red, his lips trembled for a long time, unable to speak. The two people behind also quickly stood up, their voices hoarse.

"We are all mortals without spiritual roots. Seeing that you accept disciples without spiritual roots, we immediately set out all night long, traveling for two days and two nights, I'm afraid that if we get late, you won't accept us anymore."

I looked at the three people. Everyone is skinny and yellow. I don't ask more.

“Follow me inside.”

Dai Mao's mother saw me in the secret and immediately used the token to open the door. The secret barrier opened a gap. The three of you obediently followed me and carefully entered the secret place. As soon as they entered, the three people immediately stood still. In front of us are neat green medicinal fields and spiritual herbs radiating a pale light in the sunset. Wooden houses are arranged neatly in the distance, with dried lingonberries hanging in front of the doors. Many sacred beasts lay quietly on the edge of the field. Dai Mao's mother raised her eyes to look at them, then lowered her head and lay down, obediently and harmlessly. One person squatted down, continuously touching the soft spiritual soil under his feet, his voice as if he was dreaming.

“Is this… really the secret realm of spirit beasts that makes everyone afraid?”

Let's put the order away.

“Now this place is the sect of the Divine Beast Sect.”

I arranged for them to stay in a clean wooden house. Then, brother ran over, giving him a hoe and sickle.

"Grab the tools, get up early to work tomorrow morning. The sect will cover food and accommodation, and if you grow good spiritual herbs, you will also be given medicinal pills."

The three people holding the tools said nothing from beginning to end. Suddenly, the weakest person knelt to the ground. I hastily said:

“Get up quickly!”

He raised his head, his face full of tears, and said chokingly:

"I thought... in this life I would have no place to live."

Ca brother quickly walked over and pulled him up.

“There will be later.”

The remaining two people, one quietly wiped away his tears, the other held the hoe tightly in his hand, his eyes full of respect. I stood at the door giving instructions.

"Rest well tonight, come to the yard to eat tomorrow morning."

Dai Mao followed me, wagging his tail, and gently closed the door halfway. The next morning, it was not yet dawn, and there were already more than ten people surrounding the entrance to the secret place. Some people stood on tiptoe and looked, some walked back and forth. Scattered monks, fallen monks and people who come to see the excitement are all there. The first person to proactively pay was a gray-haired old man. He trembled and took out a hundred top-grade spirit stones, counted them twice and then seriously gave them to me.

“This old man has lived for so many years, only wanting to see with his own eyes the true appearance of the mysterious spirit beast.”

I stored the spirit stone and opened the barrier. As soon as the old man entered the secret realm, he saw docile fire lions everywhere, and immediately stiffened his whole body, his face full of terror. I called Dai Mao.

"Come on, I'll tell the spirit beast to take you to the spirit spring."

The old man immediately widened his eyes, not daring to believe it, continuously waved his hand but looked curiously.

“Carry… carry me?! This… this is a high-level fire lion!”

He fidgeted with his limbs, so tense that his palms sweated.

“I've never ridden a spirit beast in my entire life... do they really not bite people? Won't they hurt me?”

I calmly said:

"Don't worry, the spirit beasts in the secret realm only protect the sect and do not harm people. As long as you don't actively anger them, they will be extremely obedient."

Dai Mao was very cooperative, bowed his head obediently, and was steady The man lay down on the ground, his large, flat back. The old man hesitated for a long time then slowly tried to sit up. His whole body was tense, he did not dare to move, for fear of angering the spirit beast. After he sat firmly, Dai Mao slowly stood up, his steps were both steady and light, carrying him towards the spirit spring. The old man gradually realized that the spirit beast was gentle and harmless, only then did he dare to slowly open his eyes. Looking at the fields of spiritual herbs and magical beasts everywhere along the road, his eyes opened wider and wider, his face filled with shock, his mouth constantly exclaiming. When he arrived at the spiritual spring, before his eyes was a clear stream of water, radiating strong spiritual energy. The old man got off Dai Mao's back, squatted beside the stream, used his hand to grab a sip of water and drank, remaining silent for a long time. Then he turned his head to look at me, sincerely expressing admiration.

“The quality of this spiritual spring is more than ten times better than the top quality spiritual spring sold in town!”

I laughed softly.

“It's okay if you're satisfied.”

Right after that, a few casual cultivators hesitated for a long time, then gritted their teeth and took out a hundred top-grade spirit stones to register. I let Dai Mao lead them to visit the secret place. Dai Mao waved his fiery tail and led the way. The few cultivators walked extremely cautiously, taking two steps and stopping once, all along the way fearing that the spirit beast would suddenly rush in. Dai Mao lost patience and turned around, growling softly. Several people were so scared that they trembled and immediately followed obediently. At this time, a three-tailed fox jumped down from the tree and sat on the shoulder of a monk. That wandering monk immediately stiffened his whole body, not daring to breathe loudly. He was stunned for a long time, trying to touch its tail. The three-tailed fox jumped up decisively and lay still on his head. That person stupidly turned his head to look at his companion, his eyes full of disbelief.

“It… it's on my head!”

Dai Mao led the group to the spirit spring and lay down to wait. Several monks sat by the stream, scooped up spiritual spring water to wash their faces and soak their hands, the more they soaked, the more surprised they became. Some people couldn't help but exclaim.

"The spiritual energy in this spiritual spring is too abundant. Soak for a while and your whole body and bones will feel comfortable!"

After returning from a tour, everyone looked shocked. It was completely dark, I led everyone back to the wooden house. A large pot is placed on the fire in the middle of the yard. I took out the dried medicinal herbs, pork, wild onions and wild ginger from the storage bag. My mother curiously walked over and asked:

“Dao Nhi, what are you going to do?”

“Hotpot. Let's try a new way to eat tonight.”

We put nutritious medicinal herbs in the pot to cook the broth, then cut the meat and wash the fresh herbs. The three new disciples stood around and looked curiously.

“Sister, what is this?”

“Delicious food, just wait.”

Not long after, the broth boiled and the rich aroma immediately spread throughout the yard. Everyone was attracted by the scent and gathered around one after another. My mother looked at the boiling broth in the pot, full of novelty.

“Dao Nhi, I've never seen this way of eating before.”

“In the future, I will often make food for everyone.”
