138: The bells are ringing

Xiao Tong herself didn't yet understand the significance of ninety percent purity.

After all, no one outside dared to discuss Alchemy with her.

She only knew that she had tried her best, and could only achieve this much; beyond that, she saw no possibility.

It was as if there was a threshold blocking Xiao Tong.

Hopefully, Master wouldn't blame him...

Xiao Tong slowly opened her bloodshot eyes, looking at the pile of medicinal ingredients in her hand, which had ninety percent purity.

A happy smile finally appeared on her face, just like before.

"Ninety percent purity, should that be enough? I've reached my current limit; I can't go any higher."

"It took over a month to complete the first step of Alchemy, but I must persevere! I absolutely cannot let Master down!"

An incredibly resolute look appeared in Xiao Tong's extremely tired eyes.

Then Yin Xiaotong tilted her head back and collapsed, falling asleep right there on the ground.

She was too tired. Her mental energy was severely depleted; she had pushed herself to the limit to reach the Bottleneck as quickly as possible, so Xiao Tong could no longer hold on.

Xiao Tong had fallen asleep on the ground, but Lu Hao wasn't aware; he certainly wouldn't be paying attention to the situation inside Xiao Tong's room.

Having stayed in the village for a month, chatting and mingling with the villagers every day, he was also a bit bored. Damn it, that dragon and ox still hadn't returned!

Lu Hao decided to go out and look for them, and also to clear his head.

Lu Hao called Shi Yi.

Shi Yi quickly arrived in front of Lu Hao and respectfully said:

"Master, what are your orders?"

Lu Hao said indifferently:

"I'm going out for a trip. While I'm away, don't wander around. Just stay here and help me with the cleaning."

"Yes, Master!"

After Lu Hao finished giving instructions, he left, leaving Xiao Lu here to protect Xiao Tong and Shi Yi.

Lu Hao took a step, covering hundreds of miles, then cast a Spell to locate Lu Xiaolong's Bloodline.

Soon, he found Lu Xiaolong's aura, but this Bloodline aura was incredibly faint.

It felt as if it had crossed billions of miles! And there seemed to be something in between blocking Lu Hao's detection.

Lu Hao felt puzzled:

"Hmm? How did these two guys get so far away? What's going on?"

They ran so far without telling him? Lu Hao felt a little angry in his heart; they weren't putting him, their father, in their eyes!

Then Lu Hao slowly flew towards the source of the Bloodline aura.

Going back to Lu Hao's first day of setting up a stall, Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox began playing continuously in Guangdong City after leaving Lu Hao.

The two of them carried supreme-grade spirit stones they had taken from Lu Hao, eating, drinking, and playing all the way.

They were truly carefree.

The more they played, the more excited they became, and they immediately agreed: no going back for now, they'd return once they'd had enough fun!

So they moved further and further away from Lu Hao...

Three days later, the two of them were almost out of Guangdong City.

At that time, Stubborn Ox spoke up to remind him:

"Xiao Long, we should go back, otherwise Master will worry."

Lu Xiaolong, however, didn't care, saying as he ran:

"Oh, it's fine, I told Father. It's okay to go out and play for a bit."

Stubborn Ox disagreed and still insisted on returning.

Xiao Long couldn't argue, and finally decided to go back with Stubborn Ox to find Lu Hao.

Just as the two were on their way back, Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox's expressions suddenly changed!

Their bodies suddenly paused in mid-air, and then they exchanged glances.

Their eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement.

Lu Xiaolong spoke first:

"Chun Niu, did you feel that? What kind of aura is that?"

Chun Niu's cultivation was naturally not as good as Lu Xiaolong's, but he also clearly felt an aura sweep past them.

That aura seemed to hold an unparalleled allure for them!

It seemed that if they obtained it, it could greatly enhance their cultivation!

So Stubborn Ox also couldn't suppress the desire in his heart, and eagerly said:

"I felt it! When I felt that aura, it was as if my Bloodline was boiling! This is definitely a supreme treasure that will be of great use to us!"

"Chase it quickly!"

At Lu Xiaolong's command, the dragon and the ox chased after the source of that aura.

But that aura was somewhat peculiar.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow; several times Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox almost caught up, but then it got away again!

A feeling of being toyed with suddenly arose in their hearts. Could this damned thing have intelligence?

Billions of miles away from Guangdong City, there was an incredibly massive Sect!

This Sect was called the Beast Taming Sect!

As soon as Lu Hao stepped into Danling State with Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox, the Sect's treasure, the Luo Tian Seeker Bell, caused a huge commotion!

The Beast Taming Sect's treasure was a massive bell, which had the ability to detect all demonic beasts within a state.

And the higher the Rank of the detected demonic beast and the nobler its Bloodline, the more intense its movement would be!

On this day, Bu Guangji, the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, was drinking with his Sect's Elders.

It was precisely when their conversation was at its most lively.

Suddenly, the Sect's treasure, the ruo tian seeker bell, rang out.

"Dong!!!"

A bell chime echoed above the Beast Taming Sect; everyone in the Sect heard the sound.

They all exclaimed with emotion:

"Another demonic beast with a rare Bloodline has appeared. I wonder which Heavenly Talent will obtain this demonic beast as their life-bound demonic beast this time."

"That goes without saying, it must be the seventh of the Beast Taming Seven Sons. The other six already have their life-bound demonic beasts."

Someone, however, retorted:

"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps it's the offspring or Disciple of an Elder, or someone with exceptional talent."

Sect Master Bu Guangji didn't pay attention to the bell chime; at his level, a demonic beast with a rare Bloodline could no longer stir his heart.

He continued to chat calmly with the Grand Elder opposite him.

However, a second bell chime soon followed.

Bu Guangji's voice also rang out.

"Oh? It seems this demonic beast has some background, haha, my Beast Taming Sect is about to gain another powerful demonic beast."

The Grand Elder opposite also said:

"Hehe, yes, two bell chimes are already rare. The last time a demonic beast of this Bloodline appeared was ten years ago."

Soon, the third bell chime rang out.

At this, the expressions of both men began to change.

Three bell chimes! Could it be an ancient remnant species?

These ancient remnant species were far too rare; currently, his entire Beast Taming Sect only had eighteen ancient remnant species!

"Heaven blesses my Beast Taming Sect, hahaha."

Bu Guangji's laughter rang out.

"Dong!!"

"What!!!"

Bu Guangji's body suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief. Four bell chimes?!!

Could it be a desolate beast?!
