New Faces, Old Neighbors, Surging Strength
After the Little Fox's explanation, Wu Chu learned that these unfamiliar faces were all there because of him, which was why they had successfully Transformation Form. They wanted to thank him and also hoped that Wu Chu, the Lord of Purple Jade, would accept them as disciples.
That girl with a wasp waist, a perky bottom, and long legs is the queen bee who led her swarm of bees to hunt down Little Qilin Di Kun.
Unfortunately, although she has now successfully Transformation Form, she has already fallen far behind the Little Qilin, and the difference in their cultivation levels is now quite significant.
Perhaps because she was quite familiar with the Little Flower Fairies, her Transformation Form was the most thorough among these unfamiliar faces, and she did not have any obvious animal features.
Therefore, Wu Chu did not immediately recognize her true form.
After all, with several young ladies in front of him, Wu Chu couldn't very well place his Primordial Spirit directly on the queen bee and expose her secrets.
The Queen Bee adopted the pseudonym 'Sharpness', much like her figure, possessing a somewhat Sharpness quality. On the surface, she appears as cold as Big Red, but without those deadpan eyes, making her seem more approachable to Wu Chu than Big Red.
Of course, Wu Chu wouldn't just casually flirt with a bee; he's not the kind of man who attracts attention.
Besides her, there were six others: one with a full head of white hair, another with a hooked nose and a thin young man who had given himself the Daoist name "Flying High." According to him, he was the bald eagle that had come here to listen to the teachings before flying away.
A woman named 'Si'er' had an unnaturally pale complexion, which reminded Wu Chu of the Spider Mountain Pearl, Zhuzhu. Her lips were a dark purple, and in addition to her feet and arms, she had four hooks on her back. At first, the four hooks were like a suit of armor, bound together between her chest and abdomen, but when she got excited, the four hooks began to bar their claws.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that they were four spider legs, looking bizarre, terrifying, and even somewhat disgusting.
When Wu Chu's gaze fell upon her outstretched claws, which were flailing open in excitement, she somewhat embarrassedly retracted them, allowing them to continue to cover her upper body like a black striped suit of armor.
She said she had lived next to this Sacred Tree tree a long, long time ago... This reminded Wu Chu of the giant spider the size of a foot basin he had seen when he first came into this world.
Wu Chu hadn't seen the spider since Little Moon Spirit appeared, and he assumed that Little Moon Spirit had gotten rid of the poisonous creature!
I never expected to see it here; it's truly a coincidence.
There was also a short, stout young man with a large mouth. He claimed to have a large mouth and called himself the Big-Mouth Daoist, wanting Wu Chu to give him a different Daoist name.
He said he used to live near this Sacred Tree and had seen Wu Chu and the Little Wolf Cub. Later, because of the appearance of Little Moon Spirit, it left as well. As he spoke, he croaked and stuck out a long tongue.
This reminded Wu Chu of the time he encountered Fat Dog A Qiu, the giant toad that was lurking in the bushes, ambushing mosquitoes on the shrimp carcasses.
It turns out to be another 'old neighbor'.
In response, Wu Chu said, "The Big-Mouth Daoist suits you well; there's no need to change it."
The remaining three were creatures that were rescued by Wu Chu during the great flood in the Great River Basin and later settled in the Purple Jade Mountain area.
Their ability to stand out from the crowd shows that they all had a bit of luck.
However, their Transformation Form are somewhat similar to those of E Meng and Benbo'erba, retaining some animalistic characteristics.
Two of them were Transformation Form from birds, and even had a few colorful feathers on their heads, making them look rather gaudy.
One of them is a cat, probably a lynx or something similar! A fluffy, jet-black tail is wrapped around his waist; if you didn't know better, you'd think it was his belt!
Wu Chu offered a few words of encouragement to these new faces, then told them to sit down and that they would have a big meal later, without mentioning the matter of taking on apprentices.
After all, Wu Chu wasn't particularly interested in taking on disciples. The main reason he accepted Old Round as a Named Disciple was because he taught Old Round the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, and Old Round regarded him as his master.
Moreover, Old Round possesses the bloodline of the divine beast Zhu Yan, and with his current cultivation of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, his bloodline has been purified, making his cultivation level vastly different from before.
As for taking Huanglong and the others as disciples, that's even more different. After all, by accepting them, he obtained three Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure from the Three Clans.
As a person, one must be impartial and fair, and not show favoritism to one person or another!
However, since they were all beings who Transformation Form in this Purple Jade Mountain region, Wu Chu naturally didn't mind giving them some treats, letting them have a big meal and have some fun together.
Before the feast began, Wu Chu learned that Purple Jade Mountain's overall strength had increased significantly.
Previously, there was only one Taiyi Realm, but now there are five beings in the Taiyi Realm: Little Fox, Old Round, Bai Ze, Yoyo, Bi Huo.
Needless to say, the three disciples were all at the Golden Immortal Realm, and Little Moon Spirit had also reached the Golden Immortal Peak. Little Cai Niang, Big Red, Bai Jun, Doggy, and the Little Flower Fairies who had eaten the Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple, such as Hua Feier and Hua Shier, had even developed a wisp of Indestructible Spirit Light within their bodies.
They only need to continuously strengthen this wisp of Indestructible Spirit Light to directly enter the Golden Immortal Realm.
Wu Chu never imagined that his mere advancement to the Daluo Realm would have such a profound impact, benefiting all living beings on Purple Jade Mountain.
Think about it, it's only been a dozen or so Epoch since I transmigrated here.
If converted to Earth time, it would be an absolutely terrifying length of time, but in the Primordial World where years are not usually recorded, a dozen or so Epoch actually not that long.
For example, the Three Pure Ones, as well as Fuxi and Nuwa, have been gestating for countless Epoch since the beginning of time before they took Transformation Form.
Although they already possessed the cultivation level of Daluo Immortal when they took Transformation Form, if we consider the time they were conceived as the time they spent cultivating, then looking at the time it took for Wu Chu's cultivation to improve, we will find how terrifying his cultivation speed is.
Of course, his ability to reach the Daluo in just over ten Epoch was inseparable from the help of the Yibao cheat device. If it were based on his own abilities...
Wu Chu secretly estimated that without Yibao's assistance, his speed in reaching the Daluo Realm would have been slowed down by at least tens or even hundreds of times.
In other words, if he were to cultivate on his own, even if he were fortunate enough to reach the Daluo, it would still take him hundreds or thousands of Epoch.
Converted to Earth time, that's a terrifying amount of time.
The Little Fox's stories also made Wu Chu realize a problem: the time he had spent in the River of Time seemed to be a very long time.
