Celestial being

"Senior Sister Chen Wan, is there anything wrong with Yuan Ming?" The beautiful young woman saw the change in Chen Wan's expression and asked softly.

"No, I'm just sighing that Junior Brother Yuan Ming has made rapid progress. He must be very diligent in his daily practice." Chen Wan said with a smile.

"Junior sister Chen Wan, are you familiar with Yuan Ming?" The beautiful young woman looked surprised.

"It's not even acquaintance, Junior Brother Yuan was born as a furry beast slave." Chen Wan was stunned and blurted out.

The beautiful young woman was a little surprised. There were many furry beast slaves in Biluo Cave, but very few of them could break away from their status as beast slaves and become registered disciples.

However, those who can climb up from the furry beast slaves are not ordinary people. The disciples of their beast control hall feel the most deeply. The "Ma Xingkong" who is now on the bounty list was promoted from the furry beast slaves. After entering the Beast Taming Hall, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he mastered the art of beast manipulation in a very short period of time, taming many powerful spiritual beasts.

If he hadn't defected later, it would have been possible for there to be an additional foundation-building elder in Biluo Cave.

"Junior sister Lan Ke, can you take care of Yuan Ming during this mission? Master personally brought him to the sect and asked me to take care of him and not let him lose his life during the mission." Chen Wan thought for a while, So said.

The beautiful young woman was startled when she heard this. She looked at Yuan Ming even more highly in her heart, nodded and said, "Okay, I will take good care of him."

The two girls chatted for a few more words before breaking up.

…

Yuan Ming quickly arrived at the mountain gate. No one else had come yet. He found a place nearby to sit down cross-legged and waited.

The beautiful young woman and others did not keep him waiting for too long, and soon arrived one after another.

Yuan Ming discovered that the dark-skinned man, the young man with triangular eyes, and Agula had a white spirit animal bag on their waists, with the symbol of the Beast Taming Hall embroidered on it.

"Everyone is here, let's get ready to leave!" The beautiful young woman nodded to Yuan Ming and said.

Biluo Cave has strict control over its disciples. Anyone who wants to leave must register at the entrance of the mountain gate and must have a reasonable reason.

Yuan Ming and others went out to perform tasks for a reasonable reason. After registering their names, they quickly arrived outside the sect.

The beautiful young woman patted the spirit beast bag on her waist, and a gray shadow flew out of it. It circled in the air for a while and then landed. It turned out to be a surprisingly large gray bird.

This bird's wings are two feet wide, with a fat body, but a small head, and an unusually flat face, like an owl. It looks a bit ugly, but the only eye-catching thing is its two golden eyes, which are as bright as lights.

"This is the golden-eyed eagle!" The dark-skinned man said in surprise.

Yuan Ming looked at the big man. When he just registered his name, he had already figured out the names and identities of the other people.

The dark-skinned man's name is Mu Li, a disciple of the Furnace Hall, the triangular-eyed young man is called Chi Shu, a disciple of the Lugui Hall, and the beautiful young woman's name is Lan Ke, a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall.

"A few days ago, I heard that Senior Sister Lan Ke subdued a spiritual beast independently. I didn't expect it to be the Golden Eyed Eagle. Congratulations!" Chi Shu, who had never spoken at the side, also spoke, but there was obvious envy in his tone.

The golden-eyed eagle is a ferocious bird unique to Shiwanda Mountain. Although it is not very powerful, it flies extremely fast and has excellent endurance. What's even better is that this eagle has excellent eyesight and can see for several miles. In outdoor situations, whether it is used for traveling or investigation, it is the best choice.

It's a pity that the golden-eyed eagle has a fierce temperament, would rather die than surrender, and is extremely difficult to tame. There are not many golden-eyed eagle spiritual beasts in the entire Biluo Cave, so Chi Shu would be so envious.

"Junior Brother Chishu received the award, and I was lucky enough to succeed." Lan Ke smiled modestly, but there was a hint of complacency in his smile, and he was obviously very proud of having subdued this spiritual beast.

Yuan Ming was very interested in controlling beasts and looked at the golden-eyed eagle curiously.

Jin Jingdiao seemed to notice Yuan Ming's gaze and looked over.

"Gu..." The eagle let out a low cry.

Yuan Ming was startled. For some reason, he felt some intimacy from Jin Jingdiao's cry.

"The fire ferret of the Third Cave Master is quite close to me, and this golden-eyed eagle doesn't seem to hate me. Could it be that I have the trait of being close to animals? Why didn't I have this feeling with those ferocious beasts from the Hundred Thousand Mountains before?" He was a little confused. Monk Zhang Er was confused.

"It's getting late. If we continue chatting, I'm afraid the mission will be delayed. Let's set off now." Lan Ke jumped on the Golden Eyed Eagle's back.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming also jumped up.

The golden-eyed eagle has a broad back, and there is still a lot of room for two people to stand on it.

The sculpture let out a shriek, flapped its wings, easily picked up the two of them, and flew straight into the sky.

Mu Li and the others also summoned the rented spirit beasts, but they were three-headed white cranes. They were much smaller than the golden-eyed eagle, but they were more than enough to carry them, and they chased after them.

The Golden Eyed Eagle was very fast, and everything around it quickly retreated. The gate of Biluo Cave was soon left far behind and turned into a small black dot.

When Yuan Ming saw this scene, he was secretly envious.

If he owns such a spiritual beast, it will be much more convenient whether he is performing sect tasks or doing other things in the future.

It's a pity that he has only been in Biluo Cave for half a month. Not to mention the core beast-controlling technique of Biluo Cave, even the object-repelling technique has not been redeemed.

"Junior brother Yuan, you'd better lie low. The golden-eyed eagle flies very fast, so you don't want to be blown down by the strong wind." Seeing that Yuan Ming was lost in thought, Lan Ke reminded him.

"Yes." Yuan Ming sat down.

The golden-eyed eagle let out a low cry, and the feathers around Yuan Ming suddenly stood up and stood in front of him, blocking most of the oncoming airflow.

"Hey, although this golden-eyed eagle has been subdued by me, he is still aloof and arrogant and rarely gets close to others. However, he seems to like you, Junior Brother Yuan, which is rare." Lan Ke looked surprised.

"Yuan has been very fond of animals since he was a child. Maybe it's for this reason." Yuan Ming didn't know why he was like this, so he made a random excuse.

"Is there such a thing like this in the world? If that's the case, Junior Brother Yuan is actually a talented person who practices the art of controlling beasts." Lan Ke said, still a little surprised.

"Can other disciples outside of the Beast Control Hall learn this beast control technique?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Of course, we can. There are many techniques for controlling beasts in our sect. As long as Biluodong disciples can learn them, they can be borrowed in Guizang Pavilion. However, the classics collected in Guizang Pavilion are relatively mixed and unsystematic, and there may even be some Some misunderstandings need to be identified by yourself, and the orthodox secrets of beast control in our sect require going to the beast control hall, but if you are not a disciple of the beast control hall, you must have a clear reason." Lan Ke said with a smile.

"Oh, what kind of reason is usually needed?" Yuan Ming asked with his heart pounding.

"The most common thing is that if the disciples of the Beast Control Hall receive the task of controlling the beast in the Execution Hall, they can naturally learn it. In addition, if they are ordered by the elders or cave masters, they can also do it." Lan Ke seemed to have an impression of Yuan Ming. Not evil, answer all questions.

Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully.

…

An hour later, the group flew over a hundred miles and arrived at a gray-white mountain range.

There are sharp stones everywhere here, and they are inserted into the ground like wolf fangs at random. The sky shows a thick gray color, but there is no feeling of rain at all. The air is hot and full of pungent smell of sulfur.

The source of all the smells is a huge volcano in the center of the mountain range. This mountain is extremely tall, almost towering into the clouds. The huge mountain casts a large shadow, which makes people feel awe.

The crater was still rumbling, spewing thick smoke outwards.

"This is the Tali volcano." Yuan Ming thought to himself, his eyes wandering around, taking stock of the surrounding environment.

According to the mission description, fire jade is produced from underground magma and will come to the surface as volcanoes erupt. What these people have to do is to find it from the cooling lava.

Of course, it is easier to find fire jade in unsolidified magma, provided that you can endure the high temperature of the magma.

"This season is when the Fire Rock Snake is active, so we need to be careful. In order to improve efficiency, let's divide into two teams as discussed before. Agula and I, Yuan Ming's team, Chi Shu and Mu I'm on the same team as my two junior brothers. Do you have any opinions?" Lan Ke said.

The others shook their heads and expressed no objection.

At this moment, a loud roar like rolling thunder came from the crater, the nearby ground shook violently, and a red pillar of magma erupted from it, and then overflowed towards the bottom of the mountain.

Yuan Ming and others were standing quite far away from the crater, and the ground beneath their feet was still rumbling and shaking, like an earthquake.

"The volcano is erupting! That's great. There must be new fire jade coming out. Maybe there will be a bumper harvest this time!" Mu Li said excitedly and ran towards the lava.

Chi Shu followed closely behind, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

"Let's go. Later, the two junior brothers will be responsible for guarding against the fire rock snakes. I will drive the golden-eyed eagle to search for the fire jade. The harvest will be distributed in the ratio of four, three, and three. How about it?" Lan Ke said.

"No problem." Yuan Ming nodded.

He is already very satisfied with three points of income.

Agula frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.

The three of them also started to approach the crater. Their direction was slightly different from that of Chishu and the others, and they soon arrived near the crater.

The three of them stopped a hundred feet away from the volcanic lava area. The temperature here had reached an exaggerated level. The air they breathed into their lungs was hot, and their internal organs were burning with pain.

Agula took out a blue talisman and placed it on his chest. A ball of blue light suddenly appeared on his body, and his roasted red face quickly returned to its original state.

Lan Ke also took out a water-blue jade pendant and hung it on his waist. A blue light lit up on the jade pendant, protecting his body.

Yuan Ming did not have the treasures and means of the two of them, so he could only silently use the Nine Yuan Jue to resist the scorching heat around him.

As a cool feeling rose from the Dantian and spread throughout the body, the burning feeling suddenly eased a bit.

"Junior Brother Yuan has no means of resisting the high temperature? Looking for the fire jade cannot be completed in a short time. Just relying on the magic power to protect the body will not last long." Seeing this, Lan Ke frowned slightly and said.

"It doesn't matter, I can hold on." Yuan Ming shook his head and said.

"Junior Brother Yuan, do what you can. When you can't hold on anymore, remember to say something and don't force it." Lan Ke reminded him and stepped forward.
