Primordial World Venture Capitalist

"Ah, sorry about that!"

"I'm out of pills too~~"

Shi Yu shrugged helplessly. He had only brought a few with him when he left. There was nothing he could do. With the Exquisite Pagoda protecting him, there were only a handful of beings in the Primordial World that could harm him.

"Hmph~"

"It's all your fault, you ate my pills!"

Ao Guang kicked the Unicorn Rhinoceros. The old ox didn't humor him, snorting heavily through its nostrils. Ao Guang lost his balance and fell.

"You couldn't hold onto them yourself and you're blaming me for eating them~"

"I despise you!"

The Unicorn Rhinoceros rolled its eyes at Ao Guang. What did this have to do with the ox? It wasn't its problem!

Ao Guang, enraged, got up from the ground and lunged at the Unicorn Rhinoceros.

Seeing this, Shi Yu quickly reached out to stop him. "It's just a few pills. I'll give you a gourd full next time we meet, alright!" Shi Yu said, trying to pacify him.

Ao Guang said indignantly, "Alright then, I forgive this guy!"

The Unicorn Rhinoceros grunted, "Who told you to wave the pills in front of me? I thought they were for me."

"You shameless wretch, ahhhhhh!"

Ao Guang was completely defeated by this ox. He couldn't beat it, and it was far more shameless than him...

"Screech~~"

A clear bird cry rang out. A giant, pitch-black winged creature flew rapidly, stirring up a gust of wind. It circled overhead for several rounds before slowly descending.

"I am the Demon Clan's General, Owl Bird!"

"Unicorn Rhinoceros, as a unique being of the Primordial World, are you willing to join our Demon Clan!" The giant bird transformed into a burly man clad in armor.

"I'm not going. I've already found a master, I'm going to be their mount!" The Unicorn Rhinoceros shook its head, refusing Owl Bird's invitation.

"As a unique being of the Primordial World, you're willing to be someone's mount? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Who is the damned soul that dares to take you as a mount!"

Owl Bird was frustrated by its lack of ambition. If the Unicorn Rhinoceros joined the Demon Clan, it might become a Demon God in the future, perhaps even surpassing a Demon Saint...

Shi Yu narrowed his eyes, trying to sense the origin and intentions of this bird. Judging by its aura and appearance, it was an owl.

"Oh, there's a crane and a dragon here too!"

"Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, quite a bit stronger than me!"

"Are you willing to join the Demon Clan?"

Owl Bird didn't want to return empty-handed, so it shifted its gaze to Shi Yu. This fellow's potential was even greater than the Unicorn Rhinoceros.

"May I ask your name, young friend?"

"I am the disciple of the very person you called 'damned soul'!"

Owl Bird's heart leaped. It immediately spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Insulting someone's master was like insulting their parents. And if this one was so powerful, then his master must be...

"Brother Pagoda, suppress him for me!"

A stream of earthy yellow light shot out, transforming into a giant pagoda that suppressed it, turning it into dust.

Ao Guang, who was watching from the side, was stunned. To kill a Golden Immortal with a flick of a finger, he was now completely convinced of this big brother's power, bowing down to him in utter admiration.

"Right, Ao Guang, I'll come find you in the East Sea when I have time. I still have other things to attend to!"

Shi Yu waved at the stunned Ao Guang, pulling him back from his daze.

"Unicorn Rhinoceros, can you change your appearance? You're too conspicuous like this!"

The Unicorn Rhinoceros's mountain-like form was too eye-catching. It was better to be low-key, which suited his master's style.

"Alright, I'll change right away!"

The giant Unicorn Rhinoceros's form gradually shrank, becoming the size of an ordinary Green Ox. It looked just as unremarkable, and no one would ever guess it was the unique Primordial World creature, the Unicorn Rhinoceros.

"Moo moo~~"

The Green Ox, formerly the Unicorn Rhinoceros, let out a few moos and walked over, nuzzling Shi Yu. Shi Yu stroked the Green Ox's head, his expression complex. Just half an hour ago, they were fighting to the death.

Alas, that's how the world is...

"By the way, old ox, do you know where Si Xiang and Kui Ox are?" Shi Yu asked while stroking the ox's head.

"I know, I know!"

"Kui Ox is at Fubo Mountain in the East Sea, and Si Xiang is at Kirin Mountain in Zong Zhou!"

Ao Guang, who was about to leave, suddenly chimed in. As the rulers of the aquatic beings in the Primordial World, the Dragon Clan naturally knew many secrets of the Primordial World.

And as the mortal enemies of the Dragon Clan, the Kirin Clan's whereabouts were known to the Dragon Clan like the back of their hands.

"Then let's go to Fubo Mountain first, let's go see Kui Ox!" Shi Yu prepared to pull the Green Ox towards the East Sea, but it wouldn't budge.

Turning around, the Green Ox looked at Shi Yu with an expression that said, You're lying to me.

"Hmm?"

"Don't I have you? Why are you going to find the Kui Ox again?"

"It's over, half of my immortal pills are going to be given away, sob sob sob!"

It didn't look like the Primordial World's exotic species from before at all; instead, it was more like a child who had lost their beloved toy.

"Have you heard of the Kunlun Mountain Sanqing?"

"No~"

The Green Ox widened its ox eyes and looked at Shi Yu in confusion.

"The Sanqing are the three master-and-disciple brothers: Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing. My master is Taiqing, and you are his mount!"

"As for the Kui Ox and Si Xiang, I found them as mounts for my second and third uncles, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the Green Ox slowly got up, no longer fussing, and said with a hint of shame, "My apologies, young master, I was rude~"

"Hahahaha, Old Ox, you changed your tune quickly!"

Shi Yu patted the Green Ox and then prepared to head to Fubo Mountain to find the Kui Ox.

"Big Brother, actually, you don't need to travel so far. Our Dragon Clan has waterways connecting all the major marshes and lakes. If we take the waterway from the Great Marsh, we can reach the East Sea in half an hour!"

With that said, Ao Guang took Shi Yu and the Green Ox to the Crystal Palace where his uncle, Ao Ping, resided.

While entertaining Shi Yu and the Green Ox, Ao Ping learned of Shi Yu's next plan from Ao Guang.

"This is bad, his target is Si Xiang!"

"Is the Kirin Clan that lucky?"

Upon hearing that Si Xiang was among Shi Yu's targets, Ao Ping's brow furrowed, and he paced back and forth.

"No, I must go to the East Sea with you. Such an opportunity cannot be enjoyed solely by the Kirin Clan!"

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

"Child, the Sanqing are all direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor, with promising paths to sainthood in the future. This matter concerns whether our Dragon Clan can wash away the boundless karma upon us!"

Ao Ping sighed. Ever since the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Dragon Clan, as the foremost clan, had borne boundless karma, affecting their cultivation breakthroughs and even the birth of new dragons...

"So, Uncle, are you gambling?"

"I am gambling. The help we provide to young friend Shi Yu now might become the reward of a Saint to the Dragon Clan in the future!"

"I have a premonition that the Primordial World of the future will surely be an era of Saints! Therefore, the Dragon Clan must establish a connection with at least one Saint!"

Ao Ping said slowly. He was gambling that Shi Yu, as Taiqing's eldest disciple, would play a crucial role in the future Primordial World.

He could help the Dragon Clan wash away their boundless karma and secure a sliver of hope for their survival!

"Therefore, I will not let the Kirin Clan have the sole glory of being the mount of a future Saint. Our Dragon Clan will also have a share!"

Ao Ping's eyes were firm. This matter concerned the life and death of the Dragon Clan, and he had to take it seriously.

"But Big Brother Shi Yu is looking for a mount, are we going to offer a mount from our Dragon Clan too?"

"That's right, we'll offer a mount too!"

"Huh? Uncle, are you serious?"
