Rumors About Spirit Animals

Dongfang City

The atmosphere in Dongfang city is currently very crowded. Many cultivators were seen passing by all over the place, the city was a stopover to head for the Yan Kingdom. This is why the city is so crowded.

Right now, it looked at Jian Chen and Xiao Yu who were walking while staring at all the bustle of cultivators and people all over the place.

“Jian Chen, let's find a clothing store first. The clothes we wear are hardly worth using anymore.” Xiao Yu said as his eyes stared back and forth in search of a clothing store.

“Ya.” Jian Chen gave a small nod, he continued walking and saw a sizable clothing store, he went inside with Xiao Yu.

After that, Jian Chen chose a classy outfit with a fashion slightly similar to the clothes on earth. A sky-blue outfit with long sleeves, black pants and shoes, he wears an additional outfit that is a bit similar to an unbuttoned jacket.

While Xiao Yu, he was wearing white clothes with a slight motive towards the woman which made Jian Chen speechless. Both bought a few sets of clothes for themselves.

“Let's find a place to eat because it's been a long time since we ate a fancy dish, I'm tired of eating meat roasted every day.” said Xiao Yu a little excited.

Jian Chen only nodded in agreement as he had also grown tired of eating grilled meat, if only there were no herbs there that could be used as flavorings for meat, he must have felt that he lived in the stone age like the history on earth.

Not long after, the two arrived at a fairly luxurious dining place that had three floors, both of which immediately went up to the third floor because it was certain that the top floor was the most comfortable.

After ordering a large amount of food, the two ate at a very high speed. This made many cultivators who were on the top floor frown at them because they felt that both of them must have come from the village.

“Cih! Both make my appetite disappear.”

“Let them alone. Hey, have you heard the rumors that have been circulating recently?”

The four cultivators who were at one table were discussing while occasionally sniffing in disdain towards Jian Chen and Xiao Yu. Yet both of them did not care at all and ate in the same way as when they were inside the Spirit Forest.

“What rumor is it?”

“This is about a spirit animal who is guarding something on a hill near the city of Dongfang.”

“Do you know what that thing is?”

“If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have said anything.”

“I heard too, the Bai Clan has moved to monitor what the spirit beasts are actually guarding.”

“Not only them, even the wandering cultivators also went there to see what exactly it was.”

“Do you know what spirit animals are on guard in that place?”

“It was a tiger.”

The discussion of the four was heard by many cultivators who were enjoying a dish was no exception for Jian Chen and Xiao Yu.

Many of them had heard about the rumors so they ignored them, while others, listened carefully.

“Jian Chen, aren't you interested in going there?” Xiao Yu asked as he ate the dish quickly, his words were also a little hazy as he spoke with his mouth full.

“Yes, if a spirit animal is on guard, it is certain that it can be a precious object. Such situations also frequently occurred in the Spirit Forest. Many of the herbs that I picked up earlier were guarded by spirit beasts.” Jian Chen said and continued to eat the dishes as well, he also did not forget to order more food which made the cultivators put on a disgusted face.

“If so, after finishing eating, we should also go there. I'm also interested in what exactly the spirit animal is guarding.” Xiao Yu was a little excited when he said that, he certainly wanted to see everything in the world, this was his true wish because his grandfather told him a lot about what was on the island of Lizawa.

Jian Chen only nodded as he was also naturally very curious as to what the tiger was actually guarding. And the rumors said by those cultivators also attracted him, because, the Bai Clan who was the ruler of Dongfang city sent many cultivators which meant that the tiger was definitely strong, after all, it was certain that a powerful spirit beast would keep something extremely precious.

The departure of Jian Chen and Xiao Yu was seen by all the cultivators there with a face of disdain as they had long expected the two to leave in order for their appetite to return to its original state.

“Let's go to the hill close to this city Xiao Yu.” Jian Chen who had just come out of the restaurant immediately shot out at high speed out of the city followed by Xiao Yu.

While being on the move, Jian Chen also sensed that there were some cultivators watching them but he did not care at all and kept moving.

After exiting Dongfang city, Jian Chen glanced in a certain direction and immediately turned a corner as he found a hill that was not too big in a certain direction.

The few cultivators who followed Jian Chen and Xiao Yu were not surprised at all because indeed many wandering cultivators were going to the hill at this time because of the rumors that had circulated.

Not until fifteen minutes later, Jian Chen and Xiao Yu arrived at the hill, both of them staring at the many cultivators who had come and gone from the hill.

“Why do it seem that many of them are not interested?” Xiao Yu asked curiously.

“Not interested in Xiao Yu, but they cannot compete with the other cultivators.” Reply Jian Chen.

Hearing Jian Chen's reply, Xiao Yu simply nodded, not long after, the two of them stopped in place while staring at the many cultivators who were staring at a sizable cave.

All of them did not take their eyes off the cave. Not long after, a small brother explosion sounded and someone bounced out with a grievous wound.

“It appears he also failed.”

“Yes, the tiger is very strong. Hey, are you alive? Do you know what the spirit animal is guarding?”

Some cultivators directly asked the middle-aged man who had suffered serious injuries and slowly stood up.

“No, I didn't see anything because I didn't reach the end of goa.” The middle-aged man replied in a grim tone then continued, “But the spirit animal is so strange, he is not like in general, he has a color pattern that is never seen.”

“What do you mean?”

Some cultivators from the Bai Clan asked with serious faces. They could all be said to be elites for having attained the cultivation of a second stage Martial Master at the very least.

“She has sky blue skin color with gold pattern.” said the middle-aged man then immediately jumped towards one of the trees while holding his chest which has five incisions that always bleed.

“Hm? Sky blue color with gold pattern?”

All the cultivators who were there were confused as to never see a tiger of such color, if it was black, orange and even white, they would have already been seen.

As for Jian Chen and Xiao Yu, the two looked at each other for a moment then gazed back towards the cave.

“What spirit animal is it exactly? Why is it that in the book I have not recorded such a tiger?” Inner Jian Chen was currently trying to use the Eternal Purple Crystal to track down something that was inside there.

“Hm? Whatisthis? Why is the qi in this place suddenly unstable?” Many cultivators were instantly aware of it but they did not find the reason and only thought that it came from within the cave.

As for Jian Chen, he directly pulled the qi into the Eternal Purple Crystal then took it back out the DNA controlling it towards within the cave to detect what exactly was inside there.

When the qi controlled by him reached where the tiger was, his body stiffened slightly. And when the qi that he controlled was pulled by the Tiger, in Jian Chen's mind was seen an eye that looked extremely domineering.

The deg! The deg!

Jian Chen's heart beat a little quickly. He put on a serious face when deciding his connection with the qi he controlled.

“Xiao Yu, beware, whatever tiger is in there, not something we can fight!” jian Chen said with a dark face.
