Gluttonous Dragon Sable

## Chapter 8: The Gluttonous Dragon Sable

Bi Fan slowly approached Da Niu, who retreated in terror.

Da Niu still couldn't believe that someone thrown into the Myriad Snake Den would return, and with such a drastic change in appearance.

As he walked, Bi Fan said, "Da Niu, you threw me into the Myriad Snake Den. You never expected me to get out, did you? When I was alone, helpless, and terrified in the Myriad Snake Den, I swore that if I could survive, I would repay you a hundredfold, a thousandfold for what you did to me."

"Now that I'm finally out, you're the first one I've come for. Today, I'll just collect some interest."

Bi Fan's expression was terrifyingly grim, his eyes blazing with fury.

Da Niu retreated incessantly, filled with dread. He mumbled, "Don't come for me, it wasn't me... it wasn't me... Manager Zhu San told us to make things difficult for you..."

Da Niu's pupils dilated, his mouth agape in shock.

Bi Fan ignored his pleas and walked over, grabbing Da Niu's arm.

"You dislocated my arm before. Today, I'll dislocate all four of your limbs and let you taste what it's like to be crippled."

Bi Fan moved with agility and practiced skill. Without much apparent effort, he dislocated all of Da Niu's limbs, dislocating multiple joints in each.

Da Niu passed out from the pain before he could even scream.

Bi Fan's techniques were from the Blood Demon Technique, designed to dislocate bones and tendons, methods for torturing people as well as subduing enemies.

This was Bi Fan's first time using them. With the power of the Martial Force Realm as his backing, the effect was quite good, and he was satisfied.

It wasn't over yet. Bi Fan splashed Da Niu with water to wake him up.

"Ah!" Da Niu cried out in agony as he woke up.

Bi Fan casually picked up a clod of dirt and stuffed it into Da Niu's mouth, silencing him.

Bi Fan woke Da Niu up so he could savor the unbearable pain.

"Da Niu, this is just the interest. I'll come for you again later, so don't die. Also, tell Zhu San I'll be coming for him." Bi Fan said with a smile.

With that, Bi Fan strode away. He had finally avenged his broken arm and was in a much better mood.

It was about time, so Bi Fan headed to the supply distribution area to collect his provisions.

"There's only half a year left until the annual Grand Competition for Outer Disciples. If you win, you can become a Registered Disciple of the Qingyang Sect and learn the Inner Breath cultivation methods. I heard the top ten also receive rewards of Pills and Magic Tools."

"It's a shame I'm just over thirty and can't participate. You're just the right age, seize this opportunity and give it your all."

"We're all cultivating diligently, hoping to achieve a good ranking in the top ten."

The Qingyang Sect held a Grand Competition for Outer Disciples every year to select Registered Disciples, and exceptionally talented ones could even be taken in as Inner Disciples.

Normally, one had to cultivate Inner Breath before being accepted as a Registered Disciple. The Grand Competition for Outer Disciples was the only chance to become a Registered Disciple early.

To put it bluntly, Outer Disciples were like servants and laborers, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work all day with no status whatsoever.

These people would rack their brains to become Registered Disciples.

Registered Disciples could cultivate Inner Breath techniques, leading to a leap in both strength and status.

Moreover, once they became Registered Disciples, they would receive one Pill per month, corresponding to their cultivation level.

Even Zhu San, who was usually so arrogant, would have to act like a subservient dog in front of any Registered Disciple.

Bi Fan couldn't help but feel tempted. With half a year left, it was enough time for him to cultivate to the Martial Force Realm.

Once he reached the Martial Force Realm, Bi Fan believed he could achieve a decent ranking, if only for the rewards of Pills and Magic Tools, and the status of a Registered Disciple.

Soon, Bi Fan collected his supplies, which amounted to two large bags.

In the past, Bi Fan would have been troubled, but now he carried one bag in each hand, appearing quite relaxed.

Jade Maiden Peak towered into the clouds. As Bi Fan climbed the mountain carrying the two bags of supplies, even his near Martial Force Realm strength made him struggle.

He finally completed his task as night fell.

Bi Fan returned to his living quarters, washed off the sweat, and began his daily routine.

"Bi Fan's progress is really fast. He managed to carry two large bags of supplies up the mountain before dark," Yu Xiao Feng remarked with some surprise.

She had intentionally tested him today to see how much Bi Fan's strength had improved.

Since Yu Si Yan had asked her to keep a close eye on Bi Fan, she naturally wouldn't slack off, and besides, it was quite interesting.

Bi Fan's main job each day was still taking care of the Spiritual Medicine. In the past few days, he had noticed that two or three stalks of Spiritual Medicine were missing daily.

Examining the disturbed soil, Bi Fan grew suspicious. "How strange. It seems a small animal came by at night. What kind of animal eats Spiritual Medicine?"

That night, Bi Fan skipped his usual routine and stayed in the herb garden to find out.

Bi Fan held his breath, remaining motionless. It wasn't until deep into the night that he finally heard movement.

He heard a "rustling" sound as something brushed against the grass, and then a flash of white lightning suddenly appeared in the garden.

Bi Fan could see clearly in the dark and took in the small animal that had appeared.

The little creature was slightly larger than a fist, completely white with no other colors.

It looked a bit like a snow ferret, and a bit like a chinchilla. Its two whiskers strongly resembled dragon whiskers.

Its eyes were large, incredibly lively, and very cute.

"Dragon Sable!" Bi Fan was extremely shocked. He happened to know some information about Dragon Sables.

Dragon Sables possess the bloodlines of both dragons and sables. Upon reaching adulthood, they gain the ability to traverse space. They are fondest of food and poisons rich in spiritual energy, making them natural nemeses to all venomous creatures.

The Dragon Sable had a pair of small, adorable front paws, yet they were incredibly sharp. It was currently targeting a Thousand-Year Ginseng King.

The Thousand-Year Ginseng King was one of the more important Spiritual Medicines that Bi Fan had been tending to. It absolutely could not be eaten by the Dragon Sable.

Bi Fan really wanted to capture the Dragon Sable. This Dragon Sable should have been born not long ago, and if captured, it could be tamed.

He approached very cautiously. Once he was close enough, he pounced.

However, the Dragon Sable was extremely agile and darted away instantly, causing Bi Fan's pounce to miss.

The Dragon Sable, having been discovered, did not leave. It merely kept its distance from Bi Fan, its watery eyes gazing at him.

It was clear that the Dragon Sable was hungry. It would not leave until it received food.

When Bi Fan moved, the Dragon Sable moved. When Bi Fan stood still, the Dragon Sable also stood still.

The man and the little Dragon Sable were locked in a stalemate. Bi Fan felt a bit helpless. He couldn't just stay here and waste time with the Dragon Sable.

Suddenly, Bi Fan's eyes lit up. He pulled out a Ten-Year Ginseng and threw it towards the Dragon Sable.

The Dragon Sable was not frightened. Instead, it shot out like an arrow, flying into the air and snatching the ginseng in its mouth.

The Dragon Sable executed a beautiful turn in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground, without disturbing a speck of dust.

The little creature still didn't leave. It even hugged the ginseng with its front paws in a very human-like manner and began to eat it rapidly, making "pu chi" sounds as if it were gnawing on a large radish.

Within a few breaths, the little creature had completely devoured the ginseng and was then looking at Bi Fan with eager eyes.

Bi Fan chuckled and scolded, "Little guy, you're truly greedy!"

He pulled out another ginseng and threw it over. It didn't matter, as there were patches of ten-year-plus ginseng in the medicinal garden, and a few missing wouldn't be noticed.

The Dragon Sable, with its elegant posture, caught the ginseng and then quickly left, carrying it in its mouth.

Bi Fan hadn't even reacted before the creature was no longer visible, not even as a tiny speck in the night sky. He wanted to chase it, but unfortunately, his speed was no match for the Dragon Sable's.
