Female Man-Snake

The eagle carried Zhou Siyi and slowly landed on the ground.

Zhou Siyi was seriously injured, suffering severe internal injuries to her internal organs and breaking many of her bones.

After taking the healing pills, Zhou Siyi returned to her room to heal her injuries.

Apart from Zhou Siyi, no one else in the entire Spirit-Nurturing Workshop was injured. Only some buildings collapsed due to the lingering effects of the battle.

The two men in black never laid a hand on the Qi Refinement disciples of the Spirit-Nurturing Workshop.

It seems they came here deliberately to cause trouble and prevent Liu Jiang from successfully capturing the Man-Snake.

Three days later, Zhou Siyi, whose injuries were basically under control, walked out of the room.

Liu Jiang, Zhou Siyi, Song Wen appeared on the top floor of the tallest building.

"Elder Liu, is Man-Snake?" Zhou Siyi asked.

Originally, the Man-Snake were trapped by the formation, and it was as if they were already caught in a trap, but they were disturbed by two unidentified men in black, which made Zhou Siyi very unwilling.

Looking at the vast lake that stretched as far as the eye could see, Liu Jiang looked somewhat dejected.

"The Man-Snake is adept at concealing its presence. Once it escapes into this vast lake, finding its trace again will be no easy task."

"What about those two men in black? Do we have any leads on them? I won't be satisfied until I tear them to pieces," Zhou Siyi said.

"We also found no clues about those two people."

"Why would the man in black help the Man-Snake escape? Is there some connection between the man in black and the Man-Snake?" Zhou Siyi asked.

Liu Jiang's face turned somewhat ferocious as she angrily said.

"I personally bred the Man-Snake hybrid; how could it possibly have any connection with them? These two are purely here to cause trouble, harming others without benefiting themselves. Two years ago, these two men in black came here once; at that time, they secretly opened the snake enclosure's restrictions and released a large number of Azure Jade Snake."

"Why are they doing this?" Zhou Siyi asked, puzzled.

"Who knows? Maybe they have a grudge against the sect, maybe they have a personal grudge against me, or maybe they're just causing trouble. After this incident, we may never have another chance to catch the Man-Snake," Liu Jiang said.

At this moment, Song Wen, who had remained silent until now, interjected and asked.

"Elder Liu, since you have a way to lure the Man-Snake out, you should be able to lure it out again, right?"

Liu Jiang shook her head, "This beast is extremely intelligent; it won't be easily fooled again."

"I'm curious, what method did you use to lure the Man-Snake out?" Song Wen asked.

Liu Jiang looked at Zhou Siyi with an expression of admiration on her face.

"We have to thank Elder Zhou for this. I didn't expect that Elder Zhou, at such a young age, would be so proficient in raising and breeding Demon Beast."

"After reading my notes, she understood why I was able to successfully cultivate a second-tier Man-Snake. Over the past six months, we have made no less than a thousand attempts and finally cultivated another Man-Snake with a stable physical body. What's even more valuable is that it is a female Man-Snake."

"In this world, there are only two true Man-Snake. Elder Zhou speculates that the male Man-Snake will inevitably come after smelling the scent of the female Man-Snake. Reproduction is the instinct of all living beings."

"So every day we drained the water from the pool where the female Man-Snake hybrids lived into the large lake. This water carried the unique scent of the Man-Snake, and we used it as bait to lure the male Man-Snake there."

Song Wen looked somewhat surprised.

"You've bred another second-tier Man-Snake?"

"The female Man-Snake was only recently born and has not yet reached the second stage."

Zhou Siyi answered proactively, her pride barely concealed.

Song Wen glanced at him sideways.

He always thought that Zhou Siyi was simple-minded and had no ulterior motives.

Unexpectedly, she was so adept at this inhumane human experimentation, combining undeveloped human embryos with Demon Race embryos.

While this doesn't necessarily mean she's cunning, it certainly doesn't mean she's a simple and kind person.

Recalling that when Wei Ding first met Zhou Siyi, he introduced Zhou Siyi as the daughter of the deputy Peak Master of the Spirit Beast Peak, who joined the Pill Peak after reaching the Foundation Establishment due to her interest in Dao of Alchemy.

In retrospect, her talent in Dao of Alchemy is mediocre, but her talent and skill in cultivating spirit beasts are extremely high.

Therefore, her departure from Spirit Beast Peak and subsequent move to Pill Peak is somewhat intriguing.

"Oh, right, I also have to thank Junior Brother Wu for helping me out three days ago when I was in crisis."

Zhou Siyi stood up and bowed to Song Wen in thanks.

Song Wen said, "Senior Sister Zhou, there's no need to be so polite. We are fellow disciples, and you have always taken good care of me. Helping you is simply my duty."

"How can I treat a life-saving grace as a joke? Junior brother doesn't have a spirit beast yet. After we return to the sect, I will definitely find a suitable one for you," Zhou Siyi said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister, but unfortunately I am short of money and simply cannot afford to raise a spirit beast."

Song Wen directly rejected Zhou Siyi's offer.

Ordinary spirit beasts are no longer enough to enhance Song Wen's strength; on the contrary, raising them would only waste resources and time.

Song Wen changed the subject.

"Senior Sister Zhou, now that we have successfully cultivated the Man-Snake, when shall we return to the sect?"

Zhou Siyi said, "We've been away for half a year now, it's indeed time to return to the sect. Let's set off today."

"Are you two returning to your sect already?" Liu Jiang asked.

Seeing Zhou Siyi nod, he continued.

"You two have come and solved a problem that has troubled me for a long time. I have nothing to give you as a gift. But I will certainly report your contributions to the sect truthfully, and I believe the sect will be generous with their rewards."

Three days later.

Song Wen and Zhou Siyi returned to Pill Peak.

The two first met with Wei Ding and handed over their mission.

Wei Ding knew nothing about the situation at the Spirit-Nurturing Workshop of the Great Yan Kingdom. The only thing he was told in his mission was that the Azure Jade Snake were having trouble mating, which was affecting their reproduction.

When Song Wen and Zhou Siyi arrived and reported that they had completed their mission, he didn't take it too seriously.

"You two should return to your cave abode and rest for ten days. After I report the mission to the sect, the Spirit Stone rewards I promised you will be issued soon."

Song Wen and Zhou Siyi each returned to their cave abode.

The next day, in the evening.

Song Wen rode his sword to the foot of Medicine Peak, to a secluded bamboo forest. When he arrived, there was already someone waiting there.

This person's name is Hao Quan. He is an outer disciple of the Medicine Peak of the Beast Taming Sect. He is twenty-seven years old and Qi Refinement level of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Song Wen was worried that his long-term and large-scale purchases of Yellow Essence Fungus from Medicine Peak would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

So he contacted Hao Quan, who was very popular among the Qi Refinement disciples of Medicine Peak, and asked him to buy Yellow Essence Fungus on his behalf at a premium of thirty Spirit Stone Yellow Essence Fungus plant.
