If he was defeated so easily, he would not be Wutian.
After sending the little girl away, he sat by the lake and circulated his Qi to heal his injuries. Essence Qi flowed through his body and his injured organs quickly recovered.
Two hours later, he stood up and calmed himself down. He could not be anxious about his parents' whereabouts. The most important thing now was to raise his cultivation level.
"Shishi, come and help me repair the hut."
The two of them busied themselves. Fortunately, Wutian had done such a thing before. The broken latrine was quickly repaired.
The sky gradually darkened. Chi Yanzi and Xiao Tian returned. The little fellow was covered in injuries. According to Shishi, it went hunting for food for the three of them.
With Chi Yanzi accompanying it, it was not as simple as hunting. The little fellow was covered in injuries and its eyes were dim. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place.
Chi Yanzi threw down a book and reminded them not to wander around before leaving alone.
This was an introduction to the sect, a map of the island, and the rules of the sect.
Wutian looked through it. It was nothing more than not hurting fellow sect members, colluding with outsiders, etc.
"Hmm? This is … "
His gaze locked onto a certain section. It was an introduction to the Scripture Pavilion.
The Scripture Pavilion was a place where secret manuals and spells were kept. It was a forbidden area of the sect and was guarded by experts. Without the permission of the sect leader, no one was allowed to enter. Those who violated the rules would be expelled from the sect.
There was another way, which was to use merits to exchange for opportunities.
Merits referred to making contributions to the sect, such as killing enemies or beasts, and donating spoils of war and resources to the sect in exchange for merits.
Merits were also needed for disciples to be promoted.
For example, for an in-name disciple to be promoted to an inner disciple, not only did they have to be in the top 50 in the competition, they also had to have enough merits.
In the sect, merits were equivalent to currency. They could be used to purchase items, exchange for materials, etc.
Of course, once they were out of the sect, merits would be worthless.
Apart from the sect leader's permission, one could also use a thousand merits to exchange for a chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion. However, the time limit was two hours.
"Merits …"
Wutian frowned. He had entered the Yan Sect for the secret manuals and spells, but he did not expect to need this. It seemed like he would be busy in the future.
Merits were not something that could be casually exchanged for. Instead, they had to be appraised and verified as useful and valuable before they could be exchanged.
"I wonder how many legs the Fire Demon Scorpion's fangs and how many merits I can exchange for?" Wutian began to regret not keeping half of the Fire Demon Scorpion's body. If he had known earlier, he would never have given it to the Sludge Beast.
The little fellow was lying on the side healing. The mustard seed bag on its paw attracted his attention.
Wutian snatched it over. With a single thought, a few huge beasts fell out of it. Blood flowed everywhere, and the stench of blood filled the air.
"Why are there only grass donkeys and wild boars? Don't they know how to catch something good?" Wutian grumbled.
The little guy was unhappy. It waved its claws and cried out.
Shi Shi translated, "The little guy said that these are only food for this period of time. If Big Brother wants good materials, you can go deeper into the forest to hunt. There are many ancient remnant beasts there. Its injuries were caused by fighting with an ancient remnant beast."
"Are they very strong?"
The little guy gestured again.
"It said that the weakest ones are about the same as the Fire Demon Scorpion. As for the strongest ones, it does not know and has never tried them. It asked if you want to go with it tomorrow."
Wutian nodded. This was the only way to enter the Sutra Depository as soon as possible.
The three of them chatted for a while before Chi Yanzi returned.
He threw a mustard seed bag over and said, "These are your clothes and merit tokens. Drip your blood on them to claim ownership. Also, if you have nothing to do, don't go out too often. Cultivate well or go to the depths of the Jadewave Forest to hunt. Try to enter the Sutra Depository as soon as possible. "
"Yes!" Wutian replied.
Chi Yanzi looked at him with a strange expression. "You are so young, but you have so many treasures. Give me your ring and God's Left Hand to study."
"This …"
"What is this? Do you think I will take it? I just have nothing to do and came across something left behind from ancient times. I am curious. Moreover, your strength has already reached the Extreme Realm. The God's Left Hand is not very useful. I will return it to you after I study it. Who knows, there might be a surprise. "
Wutian was helpless. After all, he was his master. It would not be good to reject him!
Therefore, he took off the God's Left Hand and Sikong Battle Ring and handed them over. He asked, "Master, my strength has reached the limit. What should I cultivate next?"
Chi Yanzi fell into deep thought after hearing this.
After a while, he smiled and said, "You can choose to temper your body and strengthen your defense. Before you break through to the Perfection Stage, if you can withstand the attacks of the Extreme Realm without being injured, you will have reached the Perfection Stage. Also, I have to warn you. Do not break through the Extreme Realm. If you enter the Perfection Stage, I will not be able to protect you even if my cultivation is heaven-defying. "
Wutian nodded. He was well aware of this point. Those who surpassed the ninety-nine Extreme Realm and entered the Great Circle were known as Heaven-Defying Cultivators, and would be hunted down by everyone in the continent. This had always been the case.
"Alright, you can deal with your own matters. Do not disturb me if there is nothing important." Chi Yanzi turned and walked into one of the thatched huts.
The little girl was dissatisfied and said, "Grandpa, Master is too irresponsible. She tricked us into coming here and didn't ask about us. She also didn't find an amazing cultivation method for Shishi to cultivate. She's too hateful."
Wutian smiled bitterly. Who was the one who insisted on coming? Now, he was the one who made the false accusation and blamed others.
Moreover, even if he gave her a cultivation art, she would not be able to cultivate it.
He opened his mustard seed bag and took out a few clothes. He had not changed his clothes for a long time and there was a sour smell.
Then, he looked at the three white tokens. They were made of a special material that he had never seen before. They were very hard and the words' Merit Token 'were carved on the back. However, they were not carved with a pen or a weapon, but condensed with essence qi.
To be able to control the essence qi so well and not dissipate for so long, it was probably done by either the sect master or his master.
Biting his finger, a drop of blood dripped down. The Merit Token emitted a faint light. Then, a few words appeared in Wutian's mind.
Merit Token Owner: Yan Yangzi
Merit Token: Zero
He gave the other two medallions to Tang Wulin and Shi Shi. Then, he found three more medallions. He had seen them before. They were identical to the Myriad Manifestations Medallion that Han Tian had shown him. They were used to communicate with fellow disciples.
They were also bound by blood.
He put away the Myriad Token and threw the mustard seed bag to the little girl. She was so happy that she forgot about home. She curiously played with the tokens and was amazed.
Wutian walked to the lake and jumped into the water. The cold air swept over him, but he felt refreshed. All his worries disappeared in an instant. His body and mind were at ease.
At night, the moon hung high in the sky. The bright moonlight spread down and covered the earth with a layer of silver.
A bonfire was burning beside the lake, illuminating the place.
Above the bonfire was a golden boar. Its skin was crispy and its meat was tender. Its fragrance was tempting!
"Brother Wu, your cooking is not bad. The meat is tender and fragrant. Tomorrow, I will come here every day." Han Tian wolfed down the food and almost bit his own tongue.
Wutian shook his head.
"Don't be like that. I wanted to come here before, but the old man wouldn't let me. Now that you are here, he has no reason to drive me away!" Han Tian said while gnawing on the big boar leg.
The little girl was also eating happily. Her mouth was full of grease. She glared at him and said, "Brother, don't agree with him. He is a bad person."
"Croak, croak …" The little guy nodded in agreement. It was the master of protecting its food. It couldn't bear to see people snatching food from it.
"You guys are heartless. I will eat fiercely and eat hard."
After enjoying the delicious meal and chatting for a while, Han Tian left.
The little girl was also sleepy. She walked into the thatched hut and fell asleep. The little guy wanted to join in the fun, but it was stopped by Wutian. He told it about the agreement with the Beast God.
A man and a frog looked at the moon and sighed. The journey was incomparably difficult. They almost lost their lives several times. Now, they finally had a place to stay.
"Wastrel, do you think grandpa will become a star?"
"Croak, croak!" The little guy croaked. Its long and narrow eyes were filled with confusion. Then it nodded as a consolation.
Time passed little by little. Midnight finally arrived.
Wutian got up and ran outside.
At night, everyone was resting. Other than the moonlight, there were only sporadic lights on the island. It was silent.
Not long later, Wutian came to the Beast God.
"Young man, you are very punctual. I like it."
Wutian cupped his hands and said, "Senior, may I know why you have called us here so late at night?"
"As expected of the person chosen by Chi Yanzi. Straightforward!" The Beast God smiled. "Then I will say it directly."
"I am all ears."
The Beast God looked at the little guy and said, "This time, I called you here mainly because of it. I want it to be the Guardian Beast God of the sect and our successor."
"Hmm?" Wutian was stunned. Aren't you guys doing fine? Why are you looking for a successor?
The Beast God explained, "To be honest, we have lived for 2000 years and guarded the Yan Sect for 1200 years. We have experienced countless bloody battles and suffered terrible internal injuries. However, we have been unable to find a successor to replace us. Thus, we have been living in this world."
"Back then, we made an agreement with Kong Lingzi that after he died, we would protect the sect with all our strength. In the blink of an eye, 1000 years have passed. We are already exhausted and our internal injuries are getting worse. I am afraid we do not have much time left!" The Beast God said. It was actually a woman's voice.
"She is my wife. She accompanied me to protect the Yan Sect. Sigh, I have dragged her down. If I had not insisted on agreeing to Kong Lingzi's request, we would not have fallen to such a state! "The Beast God sighed.
Wutian asked, "Is there no medicine that can cure your internal injuries and prolong your life?"
"It's too late. Our injuries have dragged on for too long and have reached a point of no return. Our vitality is almost exhausted and we have reached the end. Even if there are miraculous medicines, they can only prolong our lives for a while. The result will still be the same."
The Beast God paused and continued, "Originally, we had already given up on finding a successor and were prepared to tell Yan Yangzi everything. However, we did not expect him to bring back the Yuan Swallowing Frog today. We finally see hope. Young man, please agree to our request. "
Wutian was silent.
He could not make the decision on this matter. It was up to the little guy.
The little guy scratched its head and could not make up its mind. It stared at him, meaning to do whatever you say.
Wutian felt a headache. He did not plan to stay in the Yan Sect for the rest of his life. This was only a transition period. In the future, he still had to find his parents and would definitely leave.
However, the Beast God and Beast God were willing to give up on treatment and stay in the sect for a promise. It was truly admirable.
He was very hesitant.
