Bai Suzhen and Maybach Crane

Gao Yunyi walked over slowly.

The White Python's entire body trembled like a leaf.

They didn't even dare to glance at the snake's eyes, which were the size of longan eyes.

If that enormous Golden Crane was already so powerful and terrifying, wouldn't this human who used it as a mount be even more frightening?

Although this human looked extremely thin and lifeless, it could swallow him whole in one gulp.

But I don't know why,

As the other party approached, its body trembled violently, and its instincts triggered a frantic scream.

It was an absolute suppression from the bloodline and soul, like the sky collapsing and the earth turning upside down, carrying immense pressure and a sense of looking down upon.

That's terrifying.

This human is terrifying.

It was as if just a cold glance from it would give it the urge to personally dig out its own gallbladder and offer it to the other.

There was no anger, no coercion, and no reason whatsoever.

It's just what's right and proper, a matter of course.

The White Python didn't even know why it had such terrifying thoughts.

Gao Yunyi walked over.

But it ignored the White Python that was crawling on the ground, as if on a devout pilgrimage.

He glanced at the strange plant with five palmate compound leaves on the ground, and after confirming that it was what he was looking for,

He then lightly flicked his sleeve.

The strange herb on the ground vanished, as if it had never existed at all; there wasn't a trace of it being dug up.

In Gao Yunyi's backpack,

Then a medicinal herb resembling a purple ginseng appeared.

Purple-Accumulating Dragon Ginseng.

With the Purple-Accumulating Dragon Ginseng to his backpack, the quest was marked as complete.

Gao Yunyi clicked to complete the task, and 600 experience points were easily credited to his account.

Then,

A new task popped up.

[Quest: Foundation Establishment Pill]

[Task Requirement: Collect one of the materials needed for Foundation Establishment Pills: Marrow-Washing Jade Lotus.]

[Quest Reward: 600 points, Items: None.]

[Would you accept?]

Gao Yunyi accepted the request without even thinking.

Then open the mission guide on the map.

His face immediately darkened.

The mission destination was more than a thousand kilometers away from where he was now; it felt like half a world away.

If you were just feeling lucky for your day,

So now,

The slap in the face came incredibly fast.

Indeed, one should not be too complacent, lest one suffer a sudden and unexpected setback.

What else can we do?

I guess I'll just have to accept my fate.

Unless he doesn't want to Foundation Establishment and instead becomes a Qi Refining cultivator for ten thousand years.

Hmm...

This idea seems pretty good.

Anyway, he is immortal and invincible.

Never mind,

What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?

He's not one of those lazy, good-for-nothing characters in cultivation novels who stays in the beginner village, pretending to be cool and refusing to leave even if it means dying.

His dream is the stars and the sea.

He wants to climb to the top step by step.

A green Pill appeared at Gao Yunyi's fingertip at some unknown time. He flicked it lightly, and it flew down in front of the White Python.

"Eat it."

His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

His tone was domineering, carrying an order that brooked no refusal.

The White Python, which had been motionless, paused slightly before swallowing the green Pill in front of it without hesitation.

Now, even if it were a deadly poison, it wouldn't hesitate or waver.

As soon as the Pill entered the stomach,

A powerful feeling immediately welled up inside me.

This feeling is nothing but pain.

The pain is excruciating, the pain is like being burned alive.

The White Python, its body writhing in pain and its agonizing hisses echoed throughout the entire forest.

Its massive body crushed and snapped the surrounding bushes and trees, sending up clouds of sand and dust.

The Crane King stood proudly in place, watching with a gloating expression.

He had experienced this kind of pain.

That feeling of flesh being torn apart, Five Viscera Burning, excruciating pain, a feeling worse than death.

Even now, thinking back on it still makes him feel terrified.

So, seeing the White Python now following in its footsteps, suffering that terrifying torment and pain,

I was incredibly happy and thrilled.

I wonder how long this little snake can last. It took me a full half hour to succeed back then.

The green flames burned brighter and brighter, showing no sign of going out.

Within the Green Flames,

The White Python's scales cracked inch by inch, and bright red blood flowed out, which then became fuel for the Green Flames, fueling the raging fire.

Its serpentine body swelled wildly amidst the burning flames, and its form underwent tremendous changes.

"Roar--"

With a roar that shook the mountains and intimidated the surrounding wilderness, a colossal creature slowly emerged from the sea of Green Flames.

The green flames transformed into withered flowers.

Withered, decayed, rotten

Then it completely vanished, turning to ashes.

A giant white python, over ten zhang long and as thick as a water bucket,

Crouching high, head held high, forked tongue flicking, vertical pupils gleaming with cold light, layers of scales, long whiskers dancing in the wind.

Its overwhelming and ferocious aura caused all the surrounding vegetation to droop.

The Crane King was instantly dumbfounded.

Why?

Why did this little snake evolve so easily?

It had to go through a near-death experience to earn that sliver of a chance.

Both are beasts,

What makes it so excellent?

Gao Yunyi looked pleased.

He guessed right.

This White Python is superior to Xiaobai in both bloodline and aptitude.

That's why advancing to the next level is much easier than for Xiaobai.

It seems that the Spirit-Feeding Pill was not wasted.

"Ada--"

Xiaobai flew up and executed a "White Crane Spreads Its Wings" maneuver, delivering a powerful blow to the White Python's head.

It's as if to say,

Does this newcomer even know the rules? How dare he hold his head so high, making the master look up to him?

That's incredibly audacious and outrageous.

Having learned its lesson from its predecessor, the White Python immediately trembled with fear, lowered its head, and prostrated itself on the ground in reverence and submission.

His former domineering and fierce aura vanished completely, leaving only timidity and servility.

The domineering, powerful, and ferocious nature of this senior Golden Crane has left an indelible shadow on its young mind.

Not to mention the mysterious, terrifying, and dreadful master standing behind it.

A single Pill casually tossed to oneself can transform one's entire being, awaken one's intelligence, and bring about earth-shattering changes in one's body and strength.

If before it only felt fear, dread, and despair,

So now,

Its heart is filled with awe, reverence, and piety.

Gao Yunyi calmly examined the White Python beneath his feet, like a high-ranking Immortals and Gods looking down at ants on the ground.

The voice spoke in a cold and indifferent tone:

"From now on, you will be my second Spirit Pet. Stay here obediently and wait on this mountain. I will come back here to take you away."

The White Python nodded frantically upon hearing this.

Although it couldn't understand what this being was saying, it understood what He meant.

Because His voice resounded directly in its mind.

"Also, from now on your name will be Bai Suzhen."

After saying that,

Gao Yunyi turned his head and glanced again at the Crane King, whose entire body was shimmering with golden light.

"As for you, you'll also need to change your name,"

"From today onwards, your name will be Maybach Crane."
