Beast Garden Office

The news that Lingxian Sect was recruiting disciples spread like wildfire.

Within a few days, it was safe to say that almost everyone in Hufang Province knew about it. So much so that recently, many neighbors no longer asked each other the same old "Have you eaten?", but instead gathered together mysteriously and whispered to each other:

"Hey, did you get your son ready?"

"What? What did your daughter prepare? Tell me, I'd like my little rascal to learn from her."

"Hehe, my daughter is just a girl, what could she possibly prepare? Well, it's getting late, I have to head back now, let's chat another day..."

After exchanging only a few words, they all began to treat each other as formidable rivals, hurrying home to give their children a good talking-to.

Such incidents are unfolding in cities, counties, towns, and villages.

However, the speed of news dissemination is still very slow. It is already extraordinary that it has such influence in Hufang Province in such a short period of time, but it has not yet crossed provincial borders. Therefore, this trend has not yet swept out of Hufang Province.

However, this did not deter some people who were closely following the news. Even if they were separated by provinces or even countries, they quickly received the news and began to set off.

At the heart of this frenzy, the Lingxian Sect was also engaged in a fierce battle.

"Xiaoluan, please be lenient! Our Spirit Cuisine Hall is really running out of meat..."

Beside the beast garden of the Lingxian Sect, in a large hall adorned with brightly colored feathers and bearing the crookedly written words "Beast Garden Office," a child of about eight years old was embracing and swaying Xiaoluan's large wings.

For the past three years, since becoming the owner of the Beast Garden, Xiaoluan has changed her previous carefree cultivation habits. Every day, besides managing the affairs of the Beast Garden and teaching her disciple Big Peach, she spends her time cultivating while chewing on the demon core of her Silver Frost Python Demon.

Xiaoluan's cultivation has now advanced to the Core Consolidation Early Stage, which is equivalent to the Golden Core Early Stage in humans.

Its size has increased considerably; it is now as tall as an adult when standing.

Faced with the child who was clinging to its wings, Xiaoluan shook its head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"No way! It's not even a fully grown Level 1 beast yet! I'm not giving it to it!"

The child, Jiang Chengtian, lowered his head in disappointment and nestled against the Xiaoluan's wing.

"Elder Xiaoluan, if I don't go back to the Demon Beast, my senior sister will look down on me! Please help me, okay?"

Jiang Chengtian is the son of Jiang Youfu's elder brother, that is, his nephew. He turned six years old two years ago and especially liked to stick to his uncle Jiang Youfu. He spent all day at the Spirit Cuisine Hall. Later, because he was very interested in cooking, Jiang Youfu took him in as an apprentice.

Now, the eight-year-old has two years of work experience at the Spirit Cuisine Hall.

Don't let his age fool you; he's only eight years old, but his cultivation level is already at the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Xiaoluan looked down at the little devil, its claws itching. It really wanted to kick him away like it kicked its apprentice Big Peach to show its firm refusal, but it held back.

It's not that I can't bear to do it or anything, it's just that this little brat cries too much.

Once, when this little devil was five or six years old, he pestered Xiaoluan Xiaoluan until she got annoyed and knocked him over with a wing. Of course, Xiaoluan, under the guidance of the Lingxian Sect, knew that human cubs could not withstand her abuse, so she did not use much force, she just knocked him down.

But it never expected that its mere attempt to scare the kid into backing down would result in the brat howling at the top of his lungs all day long!

The crying was so loud that it immediately wanted to swallow its own Silver Frost Python Demon Core in one gulp and end it all.

So afterwards, Xiaoluan would avoid this little devil whenever possible.

There was nothing I could do; I couldn't hit him, and I didn't know how to scold him, since the kid wouldn't understand anyway.

It was also helpless.

I never expected that my weakness would be discovered by the people from the Spirit Cuisine Hall!

They actually sent this brat to ask me for Demon Beast meat!

Hateful!

Xiaoluan glanced down at the little devil leaning against its wing, its large chicken claws digging into the ground, creating two gashes in the rocky floor.

Jiang Chengtian also looked up at Xiaoluan with innocent, hopeful eyes.

The man and the chicken just stared at each other.

After a long while, Xiaoluan tilted her head, pulled her large wing out from under Jiang Chengtian's head, and raised the sharpest feather, whimpering:

"Okay, only one is allowed, no more."

"Elder Xiaoluan, you love me the most!"

Finally, after sending away the annoying brat, Xiaoluan collapsed in her nest, took out a small notebook from her storage ring, and reluctantly crossed out the level one Demon Beast she had just given away.

Just then, a demon chicken, a size smaller than Xiaoluan, huffed and puffed as it trotted in, carrying dozens of Storage Bag around its neck.

The chicken that came was Big Peach.

Although Big Peach has no longer received the demon core that awakened its intelligence from its master, it has achieved the Core Formation Early Stage (Foundation Establishment Early Stage) through its efforts over the past three years.

It first took ten Storage Bag from its neck and placed them on the table in front of Xiaoluan.

"Giggle, giggle."

Xiaoluan pulled out a bunch of notebooks from the Storage Bag, quickly checked them one by one, and then nodded seriously.

Although the sect now has the financial resources to purchase storage rings, these items require contribution points to exchange for, unlike simple Storage Bag which are very easy to craft.

Therefore, many disciples below the elder level still use Storage Bag when transporting goods or miscellaneous items.

Three years ago, Big Peach became the second hard-working student in the Lingxian Sect, studying diligently to learn to read and write. After a period of hard work and some initial success, Xiaoluan mastered the skill of having her apprentice share her chores without any instruction.

It registered all the Demon Beast in the beast park, meticulously recording the various changes in the growth of each Demon Beast, and then classified them into levels based on Demon Beast growth rate and quality.

Because higher-level Demon Beast are more difficult to cultivate, Xiaoluan strictly controls the amount of Demon Beast meat produced.

As a result, Spirit Cuisine Hall had to come up with various strategies to squeeze more of its share out of it.

Seeing Xiaoluan nod, Big Peach took off the remaining dozens of Storage Bag from her neck and placed them on the table.

"Heh."

These Storage Bag contain food for the newly harvested Demon Beast from the spirit fields.

This time, Xiaoluan didn't open it. Instead, she stood up, raised her wings, and gestured to Big Peach to take the Storage Bag with her.

"Giggle!"

Come on, your master is going to test you!

So Big Peach had no choice but to obediently hang the Storage Bag back around her neck, lower her head and follow Xiaoluan very obediently out of the Beast Garden office and head towards the Beast Garden.

Today, it will teach this foolish apprentice how to properly feed the Demon Beast.
