Although Tiegu Mountain was very large, it ultimately wasn’t a dangerous place—inside were mainly just animals.
So-called animals meant ordinary tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves and the like.
They were ferocious on Earth, but on Xingyun Continent, even someone at the third or fifth stage of Channel Opening could easily crush them.
Especially since Little Dragon had frolicked in the mountains for a period of time earlier, eating quite a few, and now with the Hurricane Wolf pack moving in, the food supply would definitely be insufficient.
Without anything to eat, how could they guard the home?
“Need to think of a solution.”
Jun Changxiao began thinking and came up with an idea: “I can go purchase large quantities of domestic fowl, like chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, release them all into the mountain forest, and let them reproduce on their own.”
The system said: “How many would the host need to buy to feed nearly a thousand Hurricane Wolves?”
“…” Jun Changxiao fell silent.
Some things couldn’t be solved just by thinking about them.
“Never mind for now.”
Pushing aside distracting thoughts, he opened the data panel.
He didn’t click on Spirit Beast Pavilion, but first clicked on sect construction.
Jun Changxiao clearly remembered that after construction upgraded to Level 5, more functions would appear.
Sure enough.
On the small panel, which originally had ended at Spirit Beast Pavilion, now listed many more higher-level functions!
Sect Construction Level 6: Spirit Essence Pavilion.
Sect Construction Level 7: Cultivation Method Pavilion.
Sect Construction Level 8: Lingyan Pavilion.
Sect Construction Level 9: Divine Armament Pavilion.
Behind these was a small line of text—Only after sect construction upgrades to Level 9 can subsequent functions be viewed.
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
Why can’t you just list them all directly so I can understand clearly? Must you learn from that unscrupulous author of Jianghu Again and keep me in suspense?
The first five system functions could be partially understood from their names.
For instance, Alchemy Pavilion and Forging Pavilion—one glance made it clear they were related to elixirs and weapons.
But what the heck was Spirit Essence Pavilion after Level 6?
“Do you know?” Jun Changxiao asked.
The system said: “Don’t know, and even if I knew I wouldn’t tell you.”
“…”
The Level 7 Cultivation Method Pavilion, Jun Changxiao could roughly guess, was probably related to martial techniques and mental cultivation methods.
As for the Level 8 Lingyan Pavilion, he was confused again.
“During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, to commend the meritorious officials who helped him conquer the realm, painted their portraits and hung them in a high pavilion, which became known as the Twenty-Four Meritorious Officials of Lingyan Pavilion.” Jun Changxiao murmured.
“Your history is not bad.” The system said.
“Could it be…”
Jun Changxiao had a flash of inspiration: “This Lingyan Pavilion contains the Tang Dynasty’s Twenty-Four Meritorious Officials? After opening it, they can be summoned?”
Everyone who entered Lingyan Pavilion were famous ministers and generals, like Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong!
If he could summon them, never mind developing the sect—conquering the realm would be no problem!
The system said: “The host’s imagination is truly vast!”
“What about Divine Armament Pavilion?”
Did divine armament refer to divine weapons, or divine soldier-generals?
If it referred to divine soldier-generals, that would be similar to summoning, clearly overlapping with Lingyan Pavilion’s function.
The system said speechlessly: “The host hasn’t even upgraded to Level 6 yet and is already thinking about Level 9. Isn’t that a bit too early?”
“True.”
Jun Changxiao stopped speculating and clicked on Spirit Beast Pavilion.
A small panel appeared, but inside there were no 3D projections like the alchemy furnace or forging platform—it was completely empty.
However, several lines of text were listed at the bottom of the panel, specifically—
Basic Wind Control Technique.
Basic Fire Rain Technique.
Basic Thunderclap Technique.
Basic Solid Earth Technique.
Basic Beast Core.
Jun Changxiao looked completely bewildered: “What does this mean?”
“Click to see the description.” The system said.
Jun Changxiao did so, clicking on Wind Control Technique, and a description appeared—
Beast Skill: Basic Wind Control Technique.
Effect: Can allow contracted beast to comprehend the Basic Wind Control Technique skill.
Conditions: Wind-element fierce beast 0/1, mid-grade ninth-rank wind-element crystal cores 60/10 pieces.
The [Comprehend] button displayed afterward was grayed out, obviously unable to be activated because conditions weren’t met.
He clicked on Basic Fire Rain Technique next—
Beast Skill: Basic Fire Rain Technique.
Effect: Can allow contracted beast to comprehend the Basic Fire Rain Technique skill.
Conditions: Fire-element fierce beast 1/1, mid-grade ninth-rank fire-element crystal cores 20/10 pieces.
The [Comprehend] button afterward was bright.
Jun Changxiao murmured: “Little Dragon is a fire-element fierce beast, and I obtained fire-element crystal cores in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, so it meets the comprehension conditions?”
“Correct.” The system said.
Actually, it knew the Spirit Beast Pavilion’s function. Not telling the host was also aimed at preventing him from depending too much on it, but rather to explore on his own.
Jun Changxiao clicked on Basic Thunderclap Technique again.
Because he had the contracted beast Purple Lightning Young Tiger Beast, conditions met the lightning-element fierce beast requirement, but without 10 mid-grade ninth-rank lightning-element crystal cores, the comprehend button was grayed out.
Seeing this, Sect Leader Jun understood.
The so-called Spirit Beast Pavilion’s function was to allow his contracted beasts to comprehend skills.
“The effect seems not that great.” Jun Changxiao said.
The system said speechlessly: “You haven’t even let a contracted beast comprehend anything yet and you’re saying the effect isn’t great—isn’t that too hasty a judgment?”
“Fine.”
Jun Changxiao returned to Basic Fire Rain Technique, saying: “Then let’s try it.”
He clicked on the comprehend button.
Creak!
The Fire Dragon lying on his back suddenly stiffened, as if falling into a dazed state.
After a moment.
The little fellow came back to its senses, bewilderment rising in its eyes.
Strange!
How did I confusedly comprehend a fire-element skill?
Jun Changxiao said: “There’s no change.”
“Swish!”
Little Dragon suddenly shot out, then stood in the training ground, scorching flames instantly erupting from its entire body!
Jun Changxiao said: “Going to transform into battle form?”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The scorching flames continued rising madly, the surrounding temperature climbing sharply.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Suddenly, clusters of fireballs erupted from within the flames, bombarding in all directions—the scene was quite spectacular!
“Could it be…”
Jun Changxiao said in shock: “This is the Basic Fire Rain Technique?”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fireballs fell on the training ground’s stone slabs, immediately blasting out dense networks of charred pits!
Jun Changxiao said: “Each fireball has power of at least 50,000 jin!”
Little Dragon at mid-first rank level without activating battle form could release 50,000 jin fireballs, which meant it was comparable to an ordinary peak Wushi!
Inconceivable, inconceivable!
The system said: “This is the Basic Fire Rain Technique, which allows fire-element fierce beasts to quickly master and directly execute it!”
“Awesome!” Jun Changxiao was extremely surprised.
Just clicking a button, comprehending without serious cultivation—absolutely fantastic!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Little Dragon really liked Fire Rain Technique. It released flames again, wildly bombarding the training ground once more.
However, after blasting three times, it collapsed on the ground exhausted, its entire body convulsing.
Basic Fire Rain Technique was awesome, could bring it explosive combat power, but similarly would consume considerable energy.
Jun Changxiao clicked on Basic Solid Earth Technique again.
The conditions displayed: Earth-element fierce beast 1/1, mid-grade ninth-rank earth-element crystal cores 32/10 pieces.
The comprehend button was bright.
“That’s not right.”
Jun Changxiao said in bewilderment: “I didn’t sign a contract with the Hurricane Wolf King, the Basic Wind Control Technique conditions show no wind-element fierce beast, so how does Solid Earth Technique have an earth-element fierce beast?”
The system said: “Don’t forget, the host still has another contracted beast.”
Another one?
Ice Crystal Lion Beast?
That was clearly an ice-element fierce beast, how could it be related to earth element?
Wait, wait!
Suddenly, Jun Changxiao thought of something. His expression immediately froze, and he exclaimed in shock: “Ye… Ye Zhu Peiqi?”
