Zhu Baqi suddenly let out a long howl, and the howl spread far and wide. In the blink of an eye, it had already spread far and was heard by the person who came.
He Yiming and the others immediately understood that this person must be from the main branch of the Heavenly Pool Mountain, and was rather familiar with Zhu Baqi. Otherwise, he would not use this method to inform the other party.
"Is it senior brother Zhu?" A surprised and delighted voice came from afar: "Senior brother Zhu, the Baozhu is escaping again. It's in front, please help me stop it."
Zhu Baqi laughed and said: "Alright, junior brother Chen, let me lend you a hand."
After speaking, he turned his head and said: "Elder He, nephew Yu, please help I as well, how about it?"
He Yiming was curious and said: "Of course, can we capture that spiritual beast?"
"That's right, but please be careful, don't use your innate qi and really injure it." Zhu Baqi said seriously.
Yu Xichen's expression was difficult as he said: "Martial uncle Zhu, is this an innate spiritual beast?"
With He Yiming and Zhu Baqi's strength, if they encountered an ordinary innate spiritual beast, they would naturally not care. Even if they did not use their innate qi, they would at least be able to protect themselves. But if he was not allowed to use his innate qi when facing an innate spiritual beast, then he would complain incessantly.
Zhu Baqi laughed and said: "Nephew, don't worry, the Baozhu is extremely intelligent. As long as you don't have the intention to kill, it will definitely not hurt anyone."
He Yiming and Yu Xichen looked at each other, feeling extremely curious. There was actually an innate spiritual beast that did not hurt people.
"Both of you, let's go … eh?" Zhu Baqi blinked his eyes in surprise, as if he did not believe his own senses.
He Yiming's ears trembled slightly, also feeling suspicious in his heart.
If that spiritual beast was really so intelligent, then after hearing Zhu Baqi's voice, it should have escaped in another direction. This was also the real reason why Zhu Baqi invited the two of them to act together to block it.
However, at this moment, the sound that they heard clearly told them that the spiritual beast that had escaped from the Heavenly Pool Mountain was running straight towards them.
The three of them looked at each other. He Yiming suddenly asked, "Brother Zhu, is this Baozhu your pet?"
This seemed to be the only explanation. If it wasn't here to welcome Zhu Ba Qi, why would this spirit beast run down the mountain and walk right into the trap here?
Zhu Baqi repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Elder He, please don't mock me. What virtue and ability does I have? How can I have the qualifications to raise a Baozhu? This Baozhu is actually … "
When he said this, he hesitated for a moment. His lips moved for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
Obviously, the person behind this Baozhu made him feel a deep sense of fear.
A light rustling sound came from the thicket. Then, a gust of wind blew over. A spiritual beast had already appeared in front of them without anyone noticing.
Yu Xichen and the disciples from Hengshan widened their eyes. They looked in front of them in shock, not knowing how this strange spiritual beast appeared.
He Yiming's eyes flashed with a trace of light. The strength of this spiritual beast had actually exceeded his expectations.
This was a spiritual beast that wasn't considered too big, only about the size of an ordinary dog. Among the spiritual beasts that He Yiming had seen before, not to mention the giant wolf of the totem clan, even that two-headed spiritual beast was much bigger than it.
The only one that was smaller than it in terms of size was the strange snake beside the snake-man.
Its appearance was somewhat similar to a pig raised by an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, it was completely different. Its entire body was snow-white without a single strand of mixed hair. It looked extremely simple and honest. Its tail of suitable thickness swayed slightly, as if it was greeting everyone.
Even He Yiming felt a trace of joy from the bottom of his heart when he saw it.
This was a feeling that came out of nowhere. It was as if two people suddenly met each other's eyes and became good friends in just a moment.
Before this, it seemed that only old man Shui Xuanjin and the Medicine Man had given him a similar feeling.
However, this feeling appeared on a spiritual beast, which indeed made He Yiming feel greatly surprised.
However, he didn't know that he wasn't the only one who had a similar feeling. The moment they saw the Baozhu, everyone had a similar feeling.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Even Yu Xichen, who was the most worried before this, had inexplicably relaxed at this moment.
Zhu Baqi was not surprised by everyone's reaction. He smiled and said, "Everyone, the Baozhu is a kind-hearted spiritual beast. It has never concealed its inner world. In its heart, it seems to be untainted by even a speck of dust, so everyone on Tianchi Mountain likes it very much. "
As if it understood that Zhu Baqi was praising it, the Baozhu's small eyes squinted, and its long nose wrinkled. It was indescribably small and cute.
Before seeing it with their own eyes, He Yiming and the others would never believe that a spiritual beast similar to a little pig would give them such a strange feeling.
The wind blew again, and a figure flashed. A tall person had appeared in front of everyone.
It was a middle-aged man with a pair of strangely large ears. When He Yiming saw the pair of ears, he immediately thought of Shui Xuanjin. However, in comparison, this person's ears were only slightly bigger than normal people's and were far inferior to Shui Xuanjin, who had cultivated the Clairaudient Technique.
However, this also caused He Yiming to have a good impression of him.
As soon as this person appeared, his gaze immediately fell on the spiritual beast that He Yiming and the others were confronting. Then, he raised his head and glanced at Zhu Baqi and the others.
He Yiming keenly noticed that this person's gaze only stopped on Zhu Baqi for a few breaths of time and nodded slightly. He only glanced at the other people's faces. Even an Innate Expert like Yu Xichen could not make his gaze stop.
As for He Yiming, because the aura he released was almost the same as Yu Xichen, he was not noticed by him at all.
This person once again focused his gaze on the spiritual beast, but he said, "Senior Brother Zhu, thank you."
Zhu Baqi shook his head slightly and said, "Junior Brother Chen, I did not make a move. The Baozhu stopped by itself."
Following that, he said softly, "Elder He, Martial Nephew Yu, this is Junior Brother Chen Weiran from our Tianchi Mountain's main peak. He's the one who looks after the Baozhu."
He Yiming and Zhu Baqi nodded at the same time, but they did not go forward to greet him. This was because they could tell at a glance that this person only had eyes for the Baozhu. As for the others, even Zhu Baqi could not enter his sight, let alone outsiders like them.
Sure enough, Chen Weiran took a step forward. His face was filled with a fawning smile as he asked, "Brother Bao, shall we go back?"
The Baozhu spirit beast glanced at him and shook its head without hesitation.
Its appearance was rather funny, and it actually gave people a feeling of incomparable firmness. But what was surprising was that this action was not at all repulsive.
Not to mention the spectators, who had just seen it, even Chen Weiran, who had been in charge of taking care of the Baozhu spirit beast, did not look impatient at all.
He gently slapped his forehead and said, "You came down again. If Great Ancestor finds out, won't I be unlucky again? Aren't you going to think about me?"
He Yiming and the others were shocked. Judging from Chen Weiran's tone, it seemed like he really treated the spirit beast as an equal friend.
This was incredibly rare in a world where humans were the main body.
He Yiming even thought about the Totem Clan's Suo Ge, the Red Wolf King, the Snake-Man, and the Strange Snake King. It seemed like among the people that he had met, only these 2 pairs of human and beast had such feelings for each other.
This time, the Baozhu spirit beast did not shake its head decisively. Instead, it turned its head as if it was thinking about something.
Chen Weiran did not rush it, nor did he have any intention of catching it. He came to its side and sat on the ground.
The Baozhu spirit beast turned a blind eye to it as if it was not worried at all that Ou Yangming would suddenly attack.
This strange combination of human and beast made He Yiming and the other outsiders click their tongues in wonder.
After a long time, the Baozhu spirit beast still shook its head. Chen Weiran's old face collapsed without any concealment, and it was filled with helplessness and sadness.
It was like an old child that would burst into tears at any time.
The Baozhu spirit beast hesitated for a moment, then went forward and nudged Chen Weiran's leg. Chen Weiran turned around and ignored it. He actually took up a stance.
He Yiming and the others became more curious. Although the Baozhu spirit beast was intelligent, it could not be compared to Chen Weiran, who had lived for more than 200 years. At the very least, it was far inferior in terms of scheming.
Therefore, it did not realize that Chen Weiran was just deliberately putting up a front.
The Baozhu spirit beast shook its head and snorted a few times. Although the sound was not very loud, it was very clear to everyone's ears.
He Yiming's face changed slightly. He turned his gaze and realized that other than him, no one else seemed to have noticed the strangeness of the sound. Perhaps the others felt it, but they did not take it to heart.
Although the Baozhu spirit beast's sound came from its mouth and nose, it caused the power of Heaven and Earth to resonate. Therefore, such a soft sound could be heard clearly by everyone.
It was not known whether this kind of understanding of power was an innate ability of the Baozhu spirit beast, or it was acquired. If it was acquired, then this spirit beast's strength was probably beyond He Yiming's expectations.
After hearing these sounds, Chen Weiran finally turned his head. He seemed to understand the meaning of these words and asked, "You want to be with them?"
The Baozhu spirit beast nodded and expressed its meaning very clearly.
Chen Weiran was surprised. He pondered for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Could it be that they have treasures that you like?"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph …" The Baozhu spirit beast cried even more happily. This time, even He Yiming understood that it was expressing the correct meaning.
Chen Weiran finally stood up and began to look at He Yiming and the others.
"Senior Brother Zhu, these are …"
He glanced at He Yiming, Yu Xichen, and the 20 over disciples from the Hengshan Branch behind them again.
"Junior Brother Chen, these are our friends from the Hengshan Branch."
"The Hengshan Branch?" Chen Weiran frowned slightly and said, "Recently, the name of the Hengshan branch has been very resounding. It seems that a genius has appeared. Is the one called He Yiming here?"
An awkward look flashed across Zhu Baqi's face as he answered, "Junior Brother Chen, this is He Yiming, Great Elder."
Chen Weiran's eyes lit up as he fixed his gaze on He Yiming. He was gradually surprised as he asked, "I heard that Great Elder He has advanced to the One-Line-Sky. Why didn't he go into closed-door cultivation to stabilize his state? Instead, he came to the Heavenly Pool?"
Zhu Baqi coughed heavily and responded, "Junior Brother Chen, don't be rude. Great Elder He is gifted and has an ability that we can't reach in terms of cultivation. Not only has he consolidated his One-Line-Sky State, but he has also condensed two Rooted … Flowers. "
Chen Weiran's eyes suddenly widened. If it was said that he didn't care much about He Yiming before, then at this moment, his expression completely expressed his feelings.
For experts of their age, their ability to control their hearts and faces had reached an unparalleled level. However, this news was too shocking. Even a top expert like him had a moment of absent-mindedness and confusion.
At this moment, he even thought that he had misheard.
"Cough cough, Senior Brother, Great Elder He has already condensed two Tangible … What, Rooted Flowers?"
Chen Weiran's eyes suddenly lit up. At this point, he finally understood what his Senior Brother was talking about.
Although there was only a one-word difference between the words "flower with form" and "flower with roots", the meanings they contained were worlds apart.
Tangible Flowers were powerful, but they were rootless duckweeds after all. However, Rooted Flowers were different. As long as one could condense another flower, it could immediately form a triangular force.
Whether it was in terms of power, difficulty, or future development, the two were two completely different levels.
Zhu Baqi nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. Elder He has already condensed two Rooted Flowers. Moreover, on the way here, if he hadn't encountered an accident that interrupted his cultivation, then perhaps the third Rooted Flower would have already been successfully condensed."
Speaking of this, Zhu Baqi sighed. He still felt a sense of regret about the experience of that night.
To condense the third Rooted Flower, it was not only achievable by hard work. If there was no great coincidence, even if it was delayed for decades, it might not be able to condense successfully.
That night, although He Yiming obtained a Five Elements Ring and knew that he was framed, in Zhu Baqi's heart, he still felt that the gains did not make up for the losses.
Of course, he was completely pushing the blame onto others.
Chen Weiran took a deep breath, and his heart finally calmed down completely.
If there was too much shocking news, it wouldn't be able to scare people anymore. However, this time, his gaze toward He Yiming was no longer as silent as before. Instead, there was a trace of awe and respect.
This was the embodiment of strength, and it was also the only criterion for the interaction between powerhouses.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph …"
The Baozhu impatiently snorted a few times, then came to He Yiming. Its long nose twitched, and it circled around him.
He Yiming asked inexplicably, "What does it want to do?"
If it was another spirit beast, He Yiming would absolutely not dare to swagger around and let it circle around him. However, he could not sense the slightest bit of malice from this Treasure Pig spirit beast. Naturally, he would not rashly make a move to drive it away.
"Elder He, the Baozhu said that you have a treasure of heaven and earth, so it wants to take a look." Chen Weiran said embarrassedly.
The character of the Baozhu was well-known in the entire Tianchi Mountain, but He Yiming and the others were after all, outsiders. Even he was a little embarrassed to say that he wanted to see someone else's treasure.
He Yiming's heart moved slightly, and he took down the leather bag hanging under his armpit. With a flip of his wrist, the Five Elements Ring was already in his hand.
He placed the Five Elements Ring on the ground, and the Baozhu immediately pounced on it. Its long nose sniffed for a while, and it seemed to enjoy it very much. However, it still raised its head, and a pair of small eyes widened, as if it was still somewhat dissatisfied.
He Yiming's face changed slightly. His eyes were very sharp, and he had already seen that the Baozhu's gaze was fixed on his chest.
There was not only a silver ring hanging there, but also a white energy stone.
He Yiming vaguely felt that the Baozhu spirit beast was aiming for the energy stone, but at this moment, Zhu Baqi and Chen Weiran were beside him. He Yiming would not take out these two things no matter what.
Just as he was thinking a thousand thoughts, the Baozhu spirit beast's nose suddenly twitched violently. Then, he jumped up from the Five Element Ring and ran behind the crowd.
He Yiming and the others were puzzled.
Just now, the spirit beast showed a reluctance to part with the Five Elements Ring and the thing on He Yiming's chest, but in the blink of an eye, it had already abandoned it like a worn-out shoe.
This kind of extreme change could not help but make people feel a little unprepared.
A thought suddenly flashed through He Yiming's mind. He cried out in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, the Five Elements Ring on the ground seemed to have come alive, and directly jumped into his hand.
Almost at the same time, He Yiming's figure was like lightning, and he had already chased after the Baozhu spirit beast.
The moment he got up, Chen Weiran and Zhu Baqi also did the same action. Yu Xichen was clearly slower by a beat, and the rest of the ordinary Hengshan disciples looked at each other in dismay, not understanding what had happened.
He Yiming had already arrived behind everyone with a few jumps. He let out a long sigh, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The rest of the people came to He Yiming's side, and after seeing the scene in front of them, they were even more dumbfounded and speechless.
At this moment, next to a large tree, the stern 108 was standing steadily.
The Baozhu spirit beast jumped onto his body, stretched out a pair of front hooves, and firmly placed them on his shoulders. It was like a pendant, swaying, but it was unwilling to let go.
