Who spread the childbirth matter no longer mattered. What mattered was that the entire sect knew about it, and it had spread like wildfire.
To contain the rumor, Jun Changxiao directly invoked the Sect Leader’s greatest authority to completely suppress it. Anyone spreading or discussing it would be sent to the Discipline Hall.
Nobody discussed the matter anymore, but disciples all admired in their hearts how the Sect Leader was indeed the Sect Leader—even taking on work that women do.
“Sigh.”
Jun Changxiao sat vexed and troubled in the study, using the function rewarded from completing the epic quest to upgrade the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
“Ding! Spirit Beast Pavilion successfully upgraded to Enhanced Spirit Beast Pavilion!”
The Alchemy Pavilion, Forging Pavilion, and Talisman Pavilion had all been upgraded. Judging from the effects, both alchemy and forging had greatly improved. But what effect would this Enhanced Spirit Beast Pavilion have?
When Jun Changxiao opened it, he nearly jumped out of his chair!
The Spirit Beast Pavilion interface had undergone considerable changes. Not only did it retain its previous functions, but several small boxes appeared, each containing a beast egg. They had different colored surfaces and each had names—Thunder Rhombus Egg, Ice Phoenix Egg, Divine Movement Egg, and so on.
“Holy crap!”
“This is a bit outrageous!”
What shocked Jun Changxiao even more was that at the bottom was an introduction to the new Spirit Beast Pavilion. Each egg was a rare and precious beast in the world, could be hatched using special materials, and could be arbitrarily designated to any sect member as their exclusive contracted beast!
The Spirit Beast Pavilion’s role in the Lower Realm was to add skills and refine beast cores. Its presence was completely overshadowed by the Alchemy and Forging Pavilions. Now, the brand new version could actually nurture beast eggs and designate them to others as exclusive contracted beasts—its tier immediately went up!
“Hahahaha!”
Jun Changxiao covered his face and laughed loudly.
Just from the beast egg names alone, one could tell these were definitely incredibly awesome rare and precious beasts.
He didn’t lack contracted beasts, but his disciples did. Giving each of them one would definitely enhance their hardcore strength.
Equipment, supreme treasures, mounts.
These were the three most indispensable show-off items in the martial dao world besides one’s own cultivation, and Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuji and the others currently lacked precisely mounts.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao hurriedly clicked on the Thunder Rhombus Egg, and a detailed introduction popped up.
Beast Egg: Thunder Rhombus Egg.
Quality: Rare and Precious Beast.
Requirement: Needs ten million Profound Stones to hatch.
Designated: None yet.
“…”
After seeing the requirement, Jun Changxiao’s burning heart felt like it had been struck by freezing ice, instantly chilled through and through!
Clearly, hatching this Thunder Rhombus Egg didn’t involve complicated procedures—just prepare ten million Profound Stones.
Dog Sheng successively checked other beast eggs. They were all of rare and precious quality, and the requirements were without exception tens of millions of Profound Stones. The meaning was clear—stop dawdling, pay up!
“This is too expensive!”
One beast egg cost ten million. If he equipped all one hundred thousand sect disciples with exclusive contracted beasts… No, no, he couldn’t afford it at all.
“Be content.”
The System said: “At least it uses Profound Stones for nurturing. If it required Contribution Points to hatch, the host would probably vomit blood.”
“Right!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes gradually brightened.
Although Profound Stones were important, ultimately there were ways to earn them.
Contribution Points could only be obtained through quests. For instance, he was still stuck at forty thousand and didn’t even have the courage to open the shop.
“No rush, no rush.”
Jun Changxiao calmed down and said: “Money can be earned slowly. When I can casually pull out several hundred million, I can completely give core disciples one exclusive contracted beast each first.”
“The Thunder Rhombus Egg is thunder-type, suitable for Qingyang. The Ice Phoenix Egg is ice-type, suitable for Qianqian. The Divine Movement Egg should be speed-type, suitable for Xiao Mu…”
Although Dog Sheng didn’t have money now, that didn’t prevent him from arranging the contracted beasts in advance.
Of course, the Enhanced Spirit Beast Pavilion still had many beast eggs. Due to item slot size limitations, not all could be displayed, so they won’t be introduced one by one.
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In a massive mountain range shrouded by dark clouds, visible lightning struck madly, causing space to tremble violently and gather an aura of slaughter.
“Clan Leader!”
On a cliff amidst thunder and lightning, an old man whose beard looked like gathered lightning serpents hurried over in shock: “The Thunder Rhombus Egg nurtured in the Thunder Pool for thousands of years has disappeared without reason!”
In a land of endless ice and snow.
A group of extraordinarily beautiful women were conducting a carpet search, because not long ago, an Ice Phoenix Egg from the clan was stolen!
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
On a vast boundless grassland, dozens of powerful creatures resembling tigers and wolves but with wings on their backs flew close to the ground, their enormous eyes flashing with towering fury.
“The Clan Leader has ordered!”
“Catch the culprit who stole the Divine Movement Egg as quickly as possible!”
It could be said that after Jun Changxiao upgraded the Spirit Beast Pavilion, many special non-human groups in the Upper Realm had lost items and were currently conducting intensive searches.
Readers familiar with the origin of Seven Profound Rosy Cloud Break definitely understood that the various beast eggs they lost were certainly stolen by the System.
In short.
However many beast eggs the Spirit Beast Pavilion had, that many each major group lost.
This was absolutely a super huge trap. Fortunately, Jun Changxiao hadn’t realized it yet and was currently delightedly contemplating how to earn more Profound Stones in the shortest time, then arrange exclusive contracted beasts for his disciples.
“Of course.”
Dog Sheng thought secretly: “Equipping all sect disciples isn’t realistic. I can only arrange for high-level members and core disciples first. When they each have one and ride various rare and precious beasts following This Seat to conquer the sea of stars, the scene will definitely be beautiful!”
Reader: “The scene of you being surrounded by ten thousand clans will definitely be even more beautiful!”
Just thinking about it felt good, but only real effort could make it reality. So Jun Changxiao withdrew all empty thoughts and began focusing his mind on making money.
“Hall Master Feng is the Alchemy Hall’s chief alchemist. The organization definitely needs large quantities of medicinal materials. I can have him take the lead in establishing long-term effective business channels.”
Jun Changxiao set out for the Alchemy Hall, which had no soldiers, only a great hall. Just as he entered, he saw the other party dancing excitedly inside, so he said puzzled: “Didn’t get enough of morning exercises?”
“Sect Leader!”
Feng Guichen said excitedly: “I used your medicinal materials to refine pills, and the effects are more than ten times stronger than ordinary ones!”
“Stay calm, stay calm.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This is standard operation.”
Feng Guichen forcibly calmed down, then placed a crystalline pill on the table: “This is a Vitality Cultivation Profound Pill. After taking it, it can more quickly gather heaven and earth attributes and heavenly laws. The ordinary level can last one day. Using the Sect Leader’s medicinal materials to refine it can last ten days!”
“Oh.”
Jun Changxiao remained calm throughout.
This Vitality Cultivation Profound Pill’s effect was similar to the Qi Gathering Pill from the Lower Realm. Using the Alchemy Pavilion to refine them could improve effects by dozens or even hundreds of times. He even had more than he could eat before ascension, so his mentality was as calm as still water.
“Moreover!”
Feng Guichen continued: “The absorption speed is also ten times that of ordinary pills!”
“Hall Master Feng, control your emotions. You’re spraying saliva.” Jun Changxiao wiped his face, very helpless.
“Swish!”
Feng Guichen took out several different pills again: “This is Blood Coagulation Recovery Pill, this is Meridian Protection Profound Pill—one for healing injuries, one for protecting meridians. Under the Sect Leader’s medicinal materials, the effects have all increased by more than ten times!”
Jun Changxiao retreated several steps, because the other party’s emotions became more uncontrollable as he spoke, saliva flying everywhere like a spray.
“The most, most important point is!” Feng Guichen said seriously: “When refining ordinary pills with ordinary medicinal materials, the success rate isn’t particularly high. But using the Sect Leader’s medicinal materials, not only is there zero failure, but one batch can produce ten furnaces!”
The System said: “It seems the host doesn’t need to purchase pill formulas. Hall Master Feng is a humanoid self-propelled cheat for refining pills.”
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao slapped his forehead: “Right, how didn’t I think of that!”
His thoughts had always remained on having the upgraded Alchemy Pavilion—just buy pill formulas and refine, and large batches could be produced. He’d overlooked that although Feng Guichen couldn’t achieve one-click alchemy, his attainments in this area were extremely strong.
Why buy pill formulas?
Just give him materials to refine directly!
“Hahahaha!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Thus, from outside the great hall’s camera angle, one could clearly see Jun Changxiao, who had originally maintained his composure, dancing excitedly along with Feng Guichen, occasionally shamelessly making cat-calling gestures.
