Chapter 38

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A few cultivators surrounded Zhang Xuan, and one of them asked, “Young friend, how can you control a demonic beast to fight?”

Zhang Xuan sized him up. He had a white beard and black hair, and he was wearing an indigo robe and had a kind face. He didn’t seem to have any bad intentions.

Zhang Xuan let down his guard and made up a lie, “Senior, this junior’s family has a beast-taming technique that’s passed down from generation to generation. It can control beasts to fight. As for the specific method, the family’s secret cannot be revealed.”

“I see.” The man nodded. He then led the group of cultivators away.

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn’t get into any trouble this time.

His strength was too low. Once the cultivators felt that Little Moon was a threat and strongly advocated getting rid of her, he would inevitably have a conflict with the other party.

They definitely couldn’t beat him in a fight. There was a way to escape, but it wouldn’t be good to come back to Yuan Wu City. So, it was a good thing that the other party did not get to the bottom of it.

After this happened, Zhang Xuan didn’t have the mood to slack off. Seeing that the people around were no longer paying attention to them, he put Little Moon into the familiar space and quickly returned to the house.

Zhang Xuan praised Little Moon before calming down to cultivate. He wasn’t thinking of improving his strength as soon as possible.

The path of cultivation was a step-by-step process. Unless he encountered a great opportunity, Zhang Xuan could only follow the steps. Even if he cultivated from morning to night, could he become a demigod in one day?

The reason why he cultivated was to calm his mind and think about his future. Now that Little Moon had been exposed, he knew that after today, what happened to her would spread among the cultivators.

Although the group of people just now didn’t do anything to him, who knew what the others were thinking? Once someone had bad intentions, he would still be in trouble.

Therefore, the best way now was to leave Yuan Wu City and head to other cities. At most, he would try to find out more about the situation there and continue to search for opportunities.

He was not from this world, to begin with. The world of immortal cultivation was vast and boundless. As long as he was far away from this place, who would be able to find him?

Even if there was someone who had this kind of ability, who would spend the effort to find an unknown junior like him?

Moreover, Little Moon’s strength had not reached a shocking level. Compared to the realm of cultivators, she was only at the peak of Qi Gathering.

Those higher beings shouldn’t pay too much attention to it. If he really couldn’t, he would just not come to this world and hide in the beast-taming world.

In any case, now that he had three transcendent familiars, he had sufficient cultivation resources in the early stages and had the foundation for his own development.

At most, there would be fewer resources in the later stages, and the days would be more tight.

While Zhang Xuan was worrying about this, Little Moon was by his side. Sensing his heavy mood, she didn’t make a fuss. She just rubbed against his body to comfort him.

Zhang Xuan frowned and was still worried. His parents had passed away a long time ago, and he had long developed the habit of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

If he didn’t handle this matter well, it would threaten Little Moon’s and his own lives. Zhang Xuan had to be careful.

After a long while, Zhang Xuan finally stopped thinking. He walked out of the door alone, but suddenly saw a child running across the street.

The child was holding a rabbit in his arms and shouting excitedly, “Hooray! The demonic beasts have been driven away!”

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan suddenly came to a realization. “Yeah, what am I worried about?” He laughed at himself. It wasn’t like there weren’t people in this world who kept demonic beasts.

Some of the disciples of the big families, or even the family heads, had the habit of raising demonic beasts and letting them fight with each other for fun. And some immortal cultivation sects would also switch to the path of beast-taming.

Their familiars didn’t need to be bound to a contract like in the beast-taming world. They only had their demonic beasts as auxiliary combat power. Strictly speaking, they were a bit like battle pets.

Therefore, it was not that the people in the world of immortal cultivation could not tolerate demonic beasts. He was just being overly sensitive just now.

Zhang Xuan’s worry was really unnecessary. For example, in the green continent of this world, there was a small sect called the Spirit Beast Sect.

Other than cultivation, the main activity of the Spirit Beast Sect’s cultivators was to cultivate demonic beasts.

The disciples would capture demonic beasts from the wild and bring them back to the sect to take care of them. When the demonic beasts gave birth, they would raise them and sell them to some cultivators.

As the cubs grew up, their wild nature would be tamed, and they would become obedient pets when they were sold to cultivators.

Although this method of raising demonic beasts was somewhat risky, since some demonic beasts were very difficult to tame, it was enough to show that the people here could still tolerate the existence of demonic beasts.

Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, an old man walked over from a distance.

The old man came to Zhang Xuan’s side and bowed. “I’m a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect. I heard that you’re proficient in beast-taming techniques, so I’ve come to visit you.”

“Senior, you are from the Spirit Beast Sect?” Zhang Xuan was shocked.

‘Could this be the legendary ‘speak of the devil and the devil will come’?I was just thinking about the Spirit Beast Sect, and now they’re here?

‘Moreover, this old man was quite straightforward, revealing his identity as soon as he came up. Could he have some ulterior motive? Or does he want Little Moon?’

“Little Moon?” Zhang Xuan glanced at Little Moon.

On the battlefield earlier, although Little Moon’s combat strength was not high, her tacit understanding with him must have been seen by those people.

The people from the Spirit Beast Sect wouldn’t think that Little Moon had been tamed by him, would they? After all, their method of taming demonic beasts was through brute force.

The old man saw that Zhang Xuan was stunned and thought that he was being presumptuous, so he explained, “There’s no need to be surprised, young friend. This old master heard from outside the city that you’re proficient in beast-taming techniques.

“My Spirit Beast Sect’s disciples have always tamed demonic beasts as their profession. Since you’re well-versed in this field, would you consider becoming an inner sect disciple under my sect? I’ll personally recommend the best elder to assist you in your cultivation.”

Zhang Xuan sized up the old man. From his words, this person seemed to have a high status in the Spirit Beast Sect. Otherwise, how could he decide the inner court elder’s will?

After thinking about it, Zhang Xuan didn’t agree directly and just said, “Many thanks for Senior’s good intentions, but I’ll need to think about it.”

“Of course.” The old man nodded, not in a hurry. “I’ve heard that your demonic beast is very human-like. Can you let me take a look?” he asked.

“Okay.” Zhang Xuan nodded and moved aside, signaling to Little Moon. “Little Moon, come over here and let Senior take a look at you.”

Sensing that the old man had no ill intentions, Little Moon stepped forward and allowed him to look at her.

Who knew that when the old man saw Little Moon, his face immediately revealed a look of ecstasy? He first circled around Little Moon before turning to Zhang Xuan.

“Young friend, you must join my Spirit Beast Sect! If you agree, I’ll ask the sect master to train you personally, and you can use any cultivation resources you want!”
