Chapter 116 Jelly Bean's True Identity
Chapter 116 Jelly Bean's True Identity
Zhao Mu had no temper with this rich and willful brat. He shook his head and left the cave residence.
Zhao Mu didn't have any requirements when he came to the Spirit Beast Valley again. He only wanted some obedient and docile spirit beasts. He didn't have any requirements in terms of bloodline, talent, or strength.
Zhao Mu still had five slots left to return the bindings. Keeping one as a backup, Zhao Mu planned to choose four spirit beasts.
After telling Fan Yuan his requirements, he quickly found four spirit beasts for Zhao Mu.
One was a little Celestial Wolf cub. It was only nine months old and its teeth were not fully grown yet. It cried out in a childish voice, but its eyes were bright. It looked smarter.
There was also a Three-Tailed Fox, a Golden Scorpion, and a small green snake.
They were all mixed-blood spirit beasts with impure bloodlines. They were worthless. No matter how much effort was put into training them, they couldn't become powerful spirit beasts.
However, these four spirit beasts were very docile. Zhao Mu only gave them a little food, and their loyalty instantly soared to more than 60%.
"I'll take these four spirit beasts."
"As long as Senior Brother Zhao likes them. Oh right, I'll give you a Beast Taming Token. This thing can be used as a resting space for spirit beasts. The space inside isn't big, but it can accommodate a dozen small spirit beasts."
Fan Yuan smiled flatteringly and handed a token to Zhao Mu.
This Dharma Artifact's function was similar to a storage ring, but it could store living things. It didn't need to be completely isolated from the outside world, so it was easier to make.
Although the value wasn't high, it was still painful for an ordinary inner sect disciple like Fan Yuan.
He did this to please Zhao Mu so that Zhao Mu could help him in the future.
Zhao Mu didn't refuse. He took the Beast Taming Token and said, "Junior Brother Fan, you're so capable. It's a waste of your talent to stay in the Spirit Beast Valley."
After saying that, Zhao Mu flew away on his sword.
Fan Yuan watched Zhao Mu leave. His eyes were full of excitement.
To be able to make friends with a human prodigy like Zhao Mu, maybe his luck would change.
On the way back, Zhao Mu went to the inner sect's trading market.
Looking at Jangdou's dirty appearance, he guessed that she didn't have anything else except spirit stones. He had to buy some daily necessities and two sets of clothes for her so that she wouldn't dress like a beggar and affect the beauty of his cave residence.
"Junior Brother."
While she was shopping, she heard a familiar voice.
"Senior Sister Xiong."
Zhao Mu was slightly surprised. He did not expect to meet Xiong Yourong here.
Xiong You Rong saw that Zhao Mu was buying children's clothes, and her eyes suddenly became a little strange.
"I haven't seen you for a while, and you already have a child?"
Zhao Mu blushed with shame and explained the situation. He also asked Xiong Yourong if she knew the origin of Jelly Beans.
"A little girl who calls herself Jangdou, rides a crane, and has over a hundred high-grade spirit stones in her hand?"
Xiong You Rong's expression became even weirder.
"With such wealth, he definitely isn't the child of an ordinary disciple. However, according to my understanding, there aren't many elders in the sect who have children. After all, the pursuit of the Dao is to pursue longevity. Only cultivators who have lost the opportunity to advance have time to reproduce."
Hearing Xiong You Rong's words, Zhao Mu also felt strange.
Indeed, after coming to the Saint Prime Devil Sect, he had not seen many children.
The cultivators who came here were all in pursuit of a higher realm. If they wanted to have children, it meant that they no longer had the potential to improve. Naturally, they would not continue to stay in the Saint Prime Devil Sect. If they wanted to have children, they could go back home and have as many as they wanted.
Xiong You Rong suddenly said, "It just so happens that I have a lot of free time now. Why don't I go back with you, Junior Brother? I'm also quite curious about this child."
"That's great. Thank you so much, Senior Sister Xiong."
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't deal with a naughty child. With Xiong Yourong's help, it couldn't be better.
After shopping, Zhao Mu and Xiong Yourong walked side by side and returned to Zhao Mu's cave residence.
Just as he entered the cave, Zhao Mu was dumbfounded.
Did I go to the wrong place?
How did a perfectly good cave become a pile of ruins?
This brat couldn't have really smashed his cave right?
Zhao Mu hurriedly went forward to check the situation, Xiong You Rong also followed.
Very quickly, Zhao Mu found Tang Dou in a corner.
What made Zhao Mu surprised was that the crane was actually seriously injured, lying on the ground on the verge of death.
Tang Dou's body was curled up on the ground, her small body was curled up into a ball, not knowing what happened.
Could it be that someone invaded the cave, and the crane was injured in order to protect Tang Dou?
But it shouldn't be, the cave's array was very complete, there were no signs of being invaded from the outside.
Xiong You Rong frowned, immediately went forward to check on Tang Dou's condition, but she seemed to have seen something terrifying, subconsciously retreating a few steps.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?" Zhao Mu supported the tottering Xiong You Rong and asked.
Xiong You Rong pointed at the girl lying on the ground and said: "She … is not human."
Not human?
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know when you check her body."
Zhao Mu frowned, walked to Tang Dou's side, pressed her forehead and used his divine sense to feel.
With one look, it really gave people a huge shock.
Tang Dou's body was actually an empty shell!
Under her skin, there were no internal organs, bones or meridians, only a piece of green spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy was extremely dense, forming a cyclone in Tang Dou's body, circulating in a cycle, supporting the little girl's body.
"Puppet mechanism?" Zhao Mu subconsciously said.
Xiong You Rong calmed down a bit, walked to Zhao Mu's side, shook her head and said: "It shouldn't be, I didn't feel any traces of refining by the puppet technique, this girl is more like a consciousness body formed by spiritual energy, but this spiritual energy is too strong, allowing this consciousness to have a physical body."
"Strange, but when I met her before, I didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuation in her body."
"Her consciousness is too strong. She has confined all of her Spirit Qi within her body, so it will not leak out. Ordinary sensing methods will not be able to detect it. Only by directly touching her will we be able to see her true situation." Xiong You Rong spoke her opinion.
Zhao Mu frowned.
Xiong You Rong said, "I'm afraid this girl's identity is not simple. We must report this to Master and let the elders decide."
Zhao Mu thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only way.
With such a high density of Spirit Qi gathering in his Immortal's Cave, if an accident were to happen, not to mention the Immortal's Cave being blown up, even his life would be in danger.
The destruction of the cave just now might have been caused by the explosion of spiritual energy in the girl's body.
Her consciousness was about to lose control of the raging spiritual energy in her body.
"Father … Don't go … Don't leave Qingyun alone …"
Suddenly, the girl murmured in her sleep.
Zhao Mu and Xiong You Rong were shocked.
The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
"Junior Brother, did I hear wrongly? She mentioned the word 'Azure Cloud' just now."
Zhao Mu swallowed his saliva and said, "That's right, it's the word 'Qing Yun' in Empress Qing Yun."
"Could she be …"
