269: Daocheng becomes a disciple

"Brother Cheng, come out quickly!"

"Auntie She says the Yao Race has attacked, and we are to prepare to evacuate!"

Dao Ping rushed to the outside of the Water Pavilion and shouted, followed by several brothers and sisters with equally anxious expressions.

Yun Xian stood quietly by the corridor, yet Dao Ping and the others seemed completely unable to see her.

Daocheng finished his cultivation and walked out of the hive. "Tenth Brother, wasn't everything going smoothly on the front lines a few days ago? Why did they suddenly attack?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

"Auntie She told us to retreat to the Sect immediately; we can talk about the rest once the situation stabilizes."

Daocheng nodded. "Then you all go prepare first; I'll bring the Black Crystal Bees and set off!"

"Alright!"

"Hurry up, my younger siblings and I will wait for you on the Flying Boat!"

After saying this, Dao Ping left quickly with the brothers and sisters who had followed him.

After they left, Daocheng immediately returned to the Water Pavilion, took out several beast-taming bags, and ordered the swarm to fly into them.

The total number of the swarm exceeded one hundred thousand; even if crowded together, a single Low Grade Second Rank beast-taming bag could not hold them all.

He put a large number of ordinary worker bees into his Storage Pouch, leaving only about ten thousand of the stronger worker bees to take directly onto the Flying Boat.

As for the hive, it could stay here for now. If it were destroyed by the Yao Beast, so be it; if not, they could send someone back later to move it.

Just as he walked out of the pavilion with the Black Crystal Bees, Daocheng suddenly discovered a graceful, ethereal-looking Taoist nun watching him with curiosity.

"Who are you?"

The Black Crystal Bee Queen landed on his shoulder, and the swarm of over ten thousand bees instantly dispersed, surrounding Yun Xian.

"Buzz~"

The buzzing sounds resonated with each other, and an invisible barrier of Divine Thought enveloped Yun Xian.

Yun Xian waved the snow-white horsetail whisk in her hand, and the buzzing stopped abruptly; all the Black Crystal Bees recoiled a great distance in unison.

Golden Core True Person!!

The compound eyes of the Black Crystal Bee Queen instantly condensed with a fierce light, and her Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Aura fully unfolded, shielding Daocheng behind her.

"Fourth Young Revered Master, you must leave quickly!"

"This person is a Golden Core True Person; I estimate I cannot hold her off for long."

After sending a sound transmission to Daocheng, the Black Crystal Bee Queen immediately commanded the swarm to aggregate, determined to stop Yun Xian even at the cost of death.

Yun Xian's expression grew increasingly surprised. This swarm of spirit bees was actually this kid's natal spirit beast; looking at their current performance, they were even completely tamed.

How did this kid manage this!!

There is a Divine Soul connection between a natal spirit beast and its Revered Master, where both prosper or suffer together; if one dies, the other suffers at least severe injuries, or even dies alongside it.

However, if the gap in cultivation between the Revered Master and the natal spirit beast is too large, this collateral damage is reduced.

A Mid-stage Foundation Establishment spirit bee Yao Beast, yet the Revered Master is only at the Qi Refining Third Layer; even if this kid died, it wouldn't have much impact on it.

For this reason, the risk of using special means to forcibly contract a powerful Yao Beast as a natal spirit beast is extremely high; one careless mistake could lead to a backlash.

Even among those Geniuses with deep backgrounds in the Beast Taming Sect, their natal spirit beasts are at most one Rank higher, or they must have a big shot watching over them at all times.

Yun Xian had just checked; the highest cultivation nearby was Wang Qiao at Peak Foundation Establishment. It would have been too simple for the Black Crystal Bees to break free from control.

Yet not only did it have no intention of backlashing, it was even willing to risk its life against her, a Golden Core True Person, to protect its Revered Master!

The horsetail whisk waved again, and all the Black Crystal Bees were driven back. A thread of energy dragged Daocheng, who was just about to flee, back in front of Yun Xian.

"Kid, who taught you the Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming you Cultivate?"

The terror on Daocheng's face gradually calmed down. While tidying his robes, his eyes darted around, considering countermeasures.

A moment later, he ordered the Black Crystal Bee Queen to calm down, then bowed respectfully and cupped his hands.

"This junior... junior Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng, greets Senior!"

"The Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming was... was taught to me by my father's good friend, Auntie Yun Xi!"

Seeing Yun Xian's thoughtful expression, he continued: "Auntie Yun Xi's name is An Yunxi, and she is a Cultivator of the Beast Taming Sect."

"Senior must also be from the Beast Taming Sect, right? We are all on the same side; if Senior has any questions, feel free to ask."

A third-Rank thunder beast flying ship of the Beast Taming Sect was parked over the lake in the distance. It was impossible for a Golden Core Yao Beast to have run onto the island at this time. Since this Senior was interested in his cultivation of the Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming, there was a high probability she was from the Beast Taming Sect.

He had once heard his father say that Auntie Yun Xi held a very high position in the Beast Taming Sect; bringing up this connection would increase his chances of survival.

"Junior Sister Yun Xi!"

Yun Xian had been a guest at the Heavenly Sword Sect and did not know the detailed circumstances of An Yunxi, but she knew that An Yunxi had indeed been in the territory of the Red Pine Sect during this period.

"Is Junior Sister Yun Xi your Revered Master?", Yun Xian asked.

"Uh..."

"I suppose so!"

Daocheng did not dare to lie in front of a Golden Core True Person, so he had to answer ambiguously.

Yun Xian saw at a glance that this kid was not being honest, but she didn't say much and continued to ask:

"How did you manage to contract a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment spirit bee as your natal spirit beast?"

"Do not play tricks in front of me; if you dare to deceive me, you cannot bear the consequences!"

The words Daocheng was about to say were immediately swallowed back. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"The Black Crystal Bees were raised by my father and have lived with me since I was young. After I began cultivating the Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming, my father asked me to try with them, and unexpectedly, I succeeded easily!"

"The Black Crystal Bees were accidentally saved by my father many years ago..."

He recounted the explanation Liu Xuan had used to fool others back then; since it was what his father had said himself, it didn't count as him lying.

'Could it really be a special type of spirit bee that values affection?' She had indeed never seen this type of spirit bee before.

Yun Xian was half-believing and half-doubting. She reached out and took a Black Crystal Bee, observing it carefully with her Divine Sense; this was a type of spirit bee she had never seen before.

Its Bloodline Rank was only Second Rank, but it possessed a Divine Soul talent and a devouring talent, holding the potential to break through its Bloodline Rank.

Spirit bees that eat meat were rare. Given the current background of war, the possibility of the Black Crystal Bees growing to the Third Rank was very high.

"Are you willing to take me as your Revered Master and become a Disciple of my Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch?", Yun Xian released the Black Crystal Bee in front of her and looked at Daocheng, asking.

Daocheng was stunned!

Then he immediately performed a grand kowtow, "Disciple greets Revered Master!"

Judging from the strength displayed just now, this person was at least a Golden Core True Person. Being able to take a Golden Core True Person as a Revered Master, what was there to hesitate about?

Moreover, a Golden Core True Person had taken the initiative to accept a Disciple; how could he dare to refuse? What if he angered the other party?

No matter what, agreeing first was the wisest choice!

Daocheng's performance satisfied Yun Xian. She put away her horsetail whisk, nodded slightly, and then took out a token and threw it to him.

"This is your identity token; from now on, you are my Personal Disciple!"

"I still have matters to attend to; later I will take you to meet your Junior Martial Uncle Qin Mo. You will follow him for this period."

Daocheng took the token and obediently agreed. Having inexplicably gained a Golden Core Revered Master, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

The thing he wanted to do most right now was to quickly inform his father of all this and let him provide an idea.
