The Yi Family.

“Sect Master Shen, Supremacy Lonemoon.” Yi Feng greeted from afar, smiling earnestly, “Sorry for not being able to welcome you, the trip must have been tiring.”

“Hello!” Shen Ying waved her hand too.

“Why don’t I see Supremacy Yi Qing?” Yi Feng looked behind them and asked inquisitively.

“He is in seclusion.” Lonemoon replied.

“So that’s what happened.” Yi Feng nodded, “I have not thanked the two Supremacies for saving my life previously at the Immortal Ascension Pagoda.”

“Family Master, you are too kind.” Lonemoon smiled more politely, “We are righteous and established sects. We ought to help one another in times of need.”

Both praised each other politely for a while before Yi Feng stepped to the side and brought them to the entrance of the mountainous area. Unlike the other three aristocratic families, the Yi Family’s main house was not in the Immortal City. Instead, the Yi Family resembled the average sects in this respect. Their sect was formed with several floating peaks. The moment they entered the mountainous area, they heard the sound of many different beasts.”

Yi Feng led the two toward the main peak. All the disciples that he met on the way were surrounded by one or two unique spirit beasts. Umm… I wonder how they taste?

After they arrived at the main peak’s hall, a few disciples served them tea and spirit fruits. Shen Ying’s eyes finally brightened up as she concentrated on eating her fruits. After a few months of having pig’s feed, even fruits seemed like a delicacy.

“Sect Master Shen, please!” Yi Feng suddenly stood up and said.

“Ah?” She faltered then continued eating in concentration, not listening to what they were saying.

“Sect Master Shen also has expertise in spirit beasts. Might I suggest that one of my disciples show you around?” Yi Feng asked.

“Oh, sure, thank you.” So he wants me to look around. Shen Ying obligingly stood up and followed him out the door. Someone tugged at her from behind.

“Wait,” Lonemoon warned in a low voice. “Let me attend to some business matters with their in-charge. Don’t do anything rash. You can look around, but don’t stir any trouble. And don’t eat anything!”

“Yes, Father Niu! Am I the type who only cares about eating?” After all, she doesn’t eat raw food.

Lonemoon answered incredulously, “Yes!”

“…” Where was the basic trust between father and daughter?

Yi Feng led Shen Ying out toward the back of the main peak, and around a huge temple. Once they exited from a rear hall, her eyes fell upon a huge mountain. It was several times bigger than the main peak.

“This is the Yi Family’s Myriad Beast Peak,” Yi Feng said proudly. “There are countless spirit beasts on that peak, and they are all different from the spirit beasts you come across outside.

Each of them have stayed here for a long time, so they are familiar with cultivators and will not attack you. Once the disciples of the Yi Family are mature enough, they will come to this peak and seek a spirit beast to form a spirit contract with.”

As he explained, he led her through a transportation array into the Myriad Beast Peak. Indeed, there were all types of spirit beasts on the peak. Some of them were flying in the air, others were running on land, and yet others were swimming in the waters. It seemed like every type of beast imaginable existed on the peak. Shen Ying suddenly felt as if she was in a free-range zoo.

As Yi Feng said, the spirit beasts were nonchalant toward the pair of intruders. They did not even seem to notice them. The beasts continued about their business – licking their own fur and rolling around on the ground.

“The beasts at the bottom of this peak are all second-stage and third-stage spirit beasts. They’re kept there for disciples who join us recently.” Seeing that Shen Ying was losing interest in him, Yi Feng pointed toward the top of the peak and said, “But atop this Myriad Beast Peak live four tenth-stage beasts from Steadfast Mountain. Sect Master Shen, are you interested in viewing them?”

“Sure,” Shen Ying answered while nodding.

Yi Feng led her into yet another transportation array and the pair found themselves at the top of the Myriad Beast Peak. In front of them was a huge cave. A baleful Qi flowed out of the cave.

Yi Feng conjured a seal with his hands. The entrance to the cave was immediately covered with what looked like a spider web as an array deployed.

“The Wind Lightning Beast in this cave is a rare double-elemental mutated beast. It has both wind-elemental and thunder-elemental powers.”

They heard footsteps in the cave. A few moments later, a bolt of lightning shot out of the cave, followed closely by a raging wind. A huge figure walked out of the cave. It had a formidable aura. Its footsteps were getting quicker and with each footstep, Shen Ying felt the ground vibrate. Shen Ying watched as a figure covered in static rushed out of the cave. It looked furious as it surveyed the two people on the ground in front of it.

Suddenly, its eyes widened, and it ran toward them. It tripped and fell onto the ground in front of the two people, trembling.

“Eh?” Yi Feng paused. This Wind Lightning Beast is usually so aggressive and fierce. Why is it acting this way all of a sudden?

“It’s so big!” Shen Ying scanned the huge beast in front of her, which was still shooting out lightning bolts from its body. She turned around with eyes twinkling and asked Yi Feng,

“Director, can this… be eaten?”
