Su Yuanyuan had already thought it through; she had to strengthen her Divine Sense. She would definitely think of a way after they went back.

The family of four was not qualified to fly directly into the sect, so they stopped in front of the sect gate. After showing the two adults’ Identity Jades, they were finally let in. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After entering the Xuantian Sect, Su Yuanyuan took out that Beast Ring.

The high-level cultivators of the Xuantian Sect all knew that the Vermilion Bird had already returned.

A Steward flew over quickly and led their family of four to the main peak.

This was the territory of the Xuantian Sect’s Sect Master. The whole family was extremely cautious. There was no need to show off; the last thing they wanted was to be targeted. They only wanted to live their own quiet, ordinary lives.

Following behind the Steward, they entered the main hall, where many people were seated.

"Disciple Tan Shaoting pays respect to the Sect Master and all Seniors."

Su Yuanyuan followed suit and said the same words behind him, while the two children only bowed behind their mother.

"No need for excessive formalities." A calm yet dignified voice sounded.

The family stood obediently in place. Su Yuanyuan very tactfully handed over the Beast Ring.

Very soon, the Beast Ring flew out of Su Yuanyuan’s hand, and the Beast Ring had already appeared in the hand of Mile True Monarch Yu Hua of Spirit Beast Peak.

He lightly pointed at the Beast Ring with his finger, and the Vermilion Bird flew out from inside.

It flew a circle around the grand hall of Xuantian Sect, then, extremely unwilling, landed on Mile True Monarch’s Beast Ring.

Su Yuanyuan was puzzled in her heart; she could actually hear this little sparrow’s inner voice.

An already faithless spirit beast really didn’t have much use anymore.

All the Peak Masters of Xuantian Sect were here, and they could still see clearly that this little Vermilion Bird had never advanced.

The family of four wanted to leave this place. "Sect Master, we will take our leave first." Tan Shaoting spoke up; although it wasn’t the best time to interrupt, it was better than remaining unclear about things.

Yu Huping gave an "en" in acknowledgment, and a Steward outside led them away.

At this moment, Yu Huping said to Mile True Monarch, "Strangle its Divine Sense."

"Sect Master."

Yu Huping only nodded. His thoughts were the same. With its heart already changed, keeping it was of no use at all, and it might even become a disaster in the future.

The Divine Beast might be incomparably precious, but they could not let a spirit beast lead them by the nose.

Mile True Monarch merely pointed into the void, and the Vermilion Bird that wanted to escape was immobilized.

It had truly miscalculated. It thought Xuantian Sect was just like the Beast Taming Sect, and that as long as it put on airs, it would definitely gain benefits.

It hadn’t expected that this would directly destroy it instead. It wanted to flee, but it was immediately pinned in place.

Yu Huping looked at this Vermilion Bird and found it quite crooked indeed. "Make it thorough."

"Yes, Sect Master." Although Mile True Monarch belonged to Xuantian Sect, his understanding of spirit beasts and demon beasts was in no way inferior to the Beast Taming Sect.

He knew exactly how to keep this Vermilion Bird alive, and alive without a soul.

It only took a few hand seals. This Vermilion Bird already looked dull and wooden; now it was just an ordinary animal that only possessed the bloodline of a Divine Beast.

With this matter settled, Tan Shaoting’s family was soon brought up again.

Tan Shaoting recounted the dangers they had encountered along the way. Of course, he also mentioned that Li Xiang incident, but he did not reveal her intentions.

"Very good. The sect will reward you."

The two of them bent at the waist in salute; now the matter truly had nothing to do with them. Only then did the family leave the main peak.

The family went straight to hand in the mission. Seeing the extra ten thousand points on their Identity Jades, the two adults both smiled.

Back at their residence, the family finally relaxed. They washed up and rested.

Sitting together, the family sorted through the Storage Bags of those cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect.

"The Beast Taming Sect is quite rich; even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators have several tens of thousands of Spirit Stones."

"They’re all about the same. Without Spirit Stones, how could they cultivate? Look at their Storage Bags; there are plenty of Elixirs that increase cultivation."

"Should we sell these Elixirs? I wonder if they’re poisoned?"

Hearing his wife’s words, Tan Shaoting laughed. These were Elixirs they consumed themselves; how could they possibly be poisoned?

"We’ll find someone to appraise them. If there’s no problem, just sell them directly."

"You can sell them to Duobao Pavilion." Though they would get fewer Spirit Stones that way.

"That’s fine. I’m going to the Book Collection Pavilion for a while; what’s the point of hoarding so many points if I don’t spend them?"

Tan Shaoting naturally had no objections. "You go to the Book Collection Pavilion; I’ll handle these things."

Su Yuanyuan still sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to her daughter. Only after quite a long time did she get a response; she was still within the Wuling Mountain Range.

"Mother, don’t worry, I’m doing fine here. Going out for tempering is actually quite interesting."

"All right. We’ve returned safely; you be careful as well."

The next day, Su Yuanyuan went to the Book Collection Pavilion, while Tan Shaoting took Qi Hao and Qi Xuan to the workshop. There were many Spirit Plants and Spiritual Medicines they didn’t use; better to exchange them for Spirit Stones.

At the Book Collection Pavilion, Su Yuanyuan took out her Identity Jade. She was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, so she could go to the second floor.

"Fellow Daoist, I’d like to find books on Arrays and talismans. Around where would they be located?"

"Northwest corner of the second floor."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Su Yuanyuan stepped into a small Teleportation Array and was directly transported to the second floor.

There were still quite a few cultivators here. Su Yuanyuan simply headed straight toward the area with the books she wanted to read.

Seeing the Jade Scrolls and books here about Arrays and talismans, Su Yuanyuan was truly delighted.

That day she had wanted to draw an Array across a distance. On second thought, she should first get used to the Void Talisman. She hoped to find the answers she wanted here.

She had ample points and had already told the father and sons that her return date was uncertain, so she had plenty of time.

Su Yuanyuan felt that every single book was extremely useful and wanted to copy them all, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she could not copy too many, right? Better to memorize them all in her head.

For the next few days, she planned to cram-read, and then slowly digest and comprehend the contents later.

Outside, Tan Shaoting brought his two sons to the workshop and handed all those items to Duobao Pavilion to handle.

They had probably seen this kind of thing many times before and weren’t curious at all, just carefully counting and inspecting everything.

In the end, these items actually sold for over twenty thousand Spirit Stones, all converted into top-grade spiritual stone. They already had plenty of Mid-grade ones on hand, and the top-grade spiritual stone would be kept for use on the Flying Boat later.

The father and sons had yet to leave Duobao Pavilion when a female cultivator at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer came over and stared at Tan Shaoting.

This was extremely impolite, and Tan Shaoting frowned and released his pressure.

"Senior Brother, are you my Senior Brother? Are you Tan Shaoting of Black Gold Peak?"

Tan Shaoting was stunned. Black Gold Peak was where he had lived and cultivated in his previous life; there should be no one here who knew that. Could it be someone with the same name?

Tan Shaoting frowned and did not answer immediately but instead looked at this girl. She looked about thirteen years old, at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Level; her cultivation was pretty good.
