After briefly explaining the situation outside, Xiao Lingyu suddenly said, "That Miao Yan seems to be very nice to you. When I first came here, he wasn't so polite."
Wang Tai and Hao Ren didn't know that Xiao Lingyu and Miao Yan had a grudge against each other, so Hao Ren immediately said, "He is much older than us in the Imperial Beast Hall, so he can be considered a senior. He came to give us some tips on feeding young beasts and impart some experience."
"Didn't he say anything else?" Xiao Lingyu asked curiously.
"He did say something else, but you have to tell me first. When you first came here, how was he rude?" Hao Ren said, unwilling to suffer a loss.
"That's all in the past. Although there were some small conflicts, none of us took it to heart. Let's not talk about unhappy things. I saw that you were chatting happily, so you must have talked about happy things, right?" Xiao Lingyu said perfunctorily, then asked.
"Hehe, it's a happy thing. He told us that he could help us find a backer in the Sect, so that we won't be bullied in the future." Wang Tai didn't have much of a schemer and said truthfully.
"So, you are looking for a backer …"
Xiao Lingyu fiercely despised Miao Yan in his heart. He secretly thought that the guy was helping to find a backer to win over Wang Tai and Hao Ren. His face was full of smiles as he said, "So, did he find a backer for you?"
"According to him, he found one. He said that he would invite the person to come and see us in a few days. He also said that the backer is very strong and very popular in the Sect. As long as we rely on him, it won't be long before we can enter the Sect. Moreover, we will be accepted as disciples by the Sect's experts." Hao Ren didn't hide anything.
"Brother Xiao, do you want to join us and rely on that expert?" Wang Tai asked kindly.
Xiao Lingyu secretly laughed. He didn't need to look to know who Miao Yan's backer was. It must be that little Fang Yu. However, he didn't reveal anything and said in a low voice, "Actually, I already have a backer. It's the steward of our Imperial Beast Hall."
"The steward is in the Heavenly Demon Realm. He shouldn't be considered an expert in the sect, right?" Hao Ren lowered his voice and asked in surprise.
"Hehe, although the steward's realm isn't very high, he has the support of the Sect Master. Otherwise, how could he get such a lucrative job as the steward of the Imperial Beast Hall?"
Xiao Lingyu said with a chuckle. In her heart, she was thinking, 'The backer that Miao Yan found for you is even weaker than the steward.'
After some time of observation and inquiry, Xiao Lingyu found out that there were not many Demon King stage experts within the East Demon Sect. There were only around ten plus of them. Only these Demon King stage cultivators could be considered as experts within the East Demon Sect. Only they had the qualifications to accept disciples.
The East Demon Sect had True Demon Experts, and there should be five or six of them. Xiao Lingyu learned this from the information provided by the mountain bandits. As for the specific strength of the five or six True Demon Experts, the mountain bandits couldn't inquire about it. Xiao Lingyu also didn't dare to ask the old steward.
As for whether the East Demon Sect had Spirit Demon Realm experts, it was even more unknown. However, there was an unwritten rule in the Blood Moon Continent, that is, to be classified as a third-rate sect, there must be at least one Spirit Demon Realm expert.
The cultivators in the nearby Cultivation World know that East Pole Demon Sect is a third-rate sect, so it can be inferred that East Pole Demon Sect has a Spirit Demon Expert.
Xiao Lingyu had also inquired before. The East Pole Demon Sect had only been classified as a third-rate sect more than 200,000 years ago. It must have been at that time that a late-stage True Demon cultivator of the East Pole Demon Sect had advanced to the early-stage Spirit Demon.
After 200,000 years of cultivation, if the aptitude of the East Demon Sect was average, then the strongest person in the East Demon Sect would still be in the Spirit Demon Early Stage. Even if the aptitude was high, it was estimated that the strongest person in the East Demon Sect would be in the Spirit Demon Intermediate Stage.
Xiao Lingyu was not afraid of the True Demon Realm Magical Beast that had been trapped for many years, but if it was a True Demon Late Stage cultivator who had a Magical Treasure and was good at fighting, then it may not be easy to win. If it was a real Spirit Demon Expert, there was almost no chance of winning.
"In your opinion, what should we do?" Hao Ren, who was more shrewd, asked.
"It's obvious, don't you know what to do?" Xiao Lingyu did not answer and asked, and then said, "I can remind you that whether you can enter the sect or not, in fact, it depends on the steward's intention. Others can't decide, unless it is the sect master of the True Devil Stage."
These two people had just arrived at the East Demon Sect, how could they know a True Demon Realm expert?
Seeing that both of them showed a look of understanding, Xiao Lingyu said again, "I just went out and had a little understanding, so I want to go into seclusion for a while. Can you two help me share the feeding of the more than a thousand young beasts? Of course, I will come out of seclusion in two or three months at most, so it won't be too tiring for you two. "
"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about, you can rest assured, the two of us can still handle it." King Tai replied very simply.
Hao Ren also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Lingyu smiled with satisfaction, but quietly took out two storage bags and stuffed them into the hands of the two people, then quickly returned to his house and went into seclusion in the secret room. He didn't need to greet the hunchbacked old steward, because the old steward regarded him as one of his own, and certainly wouldn't have any objection. After all, he was in seclusion and not out.
Hao Ren and King Tai sank their thoughts into their respective spirit beast bags, and then their complexions changed greatly, because there were more than a thousand middle-grade magic stones in the spirit beast bags.
Both Hao Ren and King Tai were Mahayana Realm ascendants, so they also brought some magic stones when they ascended, but they didn't exceed two hundred middle-grade magic stones. Now, they had more than a thousand middle-grade magic stones in just two or three months' time. It was absolutely a big profit.
The two people hurriedly put away the storage bags, and looked around as if they had a guilty conscience. They were a little relieved when they saw that there was no one around. After looking at each other, they tacitly acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to chat as if nothing had happened.
Only an idiot would brag about it after getting benefits. Even an honest and upright person like King Tai wouldn't do that.
As Xiao Lingyu expected, the hunchbacked old steward asked Hao Ren and Wang Tai about Xiao Lingyu when he was inspecting the valley. The old steward didn't have the slightest expression after the two people told him the truth, and only told them to take good care of the young beasts.
This made Hao Ren and King Tai even more convinced that the old steward was indeed Xiao Lingyu's backer.
With the old steward as their backer, their days in the Imperial Beast Hall would naturally be very comfortable. This made the two people a little bit excited, after all, they would be staying here for a long time.
Five days after Xiao Lingyu's seclusion, Fang Yu came to the Imperial Beast Hall, nominally to see if there were any suitable magical beasts, but in fact, he was invited by Miao Yan to accept Hao Ren and King Tai's allegiance.
However, Fang Yu hadn't expected that Hao Ren and King Tai wouldn't have the slightest expression after seeing him. Even though Miao Yan winked at them, these two people only appeared to be very respectful on the surface, and didn't say a single word of allegiance. This made Fang Yu very angry, but this was the territory of the hunchbacked old man, and he didn't dare to behave atrociously here. So, he could only leave in a huff, and secretly vowed to teach these two people a painful lesson.
The hunchbacked old steward was also a shrewd person. He had been keeping an eye on Fang Yu's arrival, and was very satisfied with Hao Ren and King Tai's reaction. So, he called the two people to his side, and chatted for a while. Only the three of them knew the specific content of their conversation.
However, King Tai's and Hao Ren's attitude towards Miao Yan had changed a lot since that chat. They were no longer as polite as before, and had been feigning civility all along.
Miao Yan didn't know that King Tai and Hao Ren had talked with the old steward, so he attributed the change in their attitude to Xiao Lingyu. He also blamed Xiao Lingyu for the reason why these two people didn't pledge allegiance to Fang Yu. Therefore, his hatred towards Xiao Lingyu deepened, and he transmitted his speculations to Fang Yu.
After three months of closed-door cultivation, Xiao Lingyu finally came out. However, when others came out of closed-door cultivation, they were full of energy and their eyes were shining. However, Xiao Lingyu looked extremely tired. His eyes were bloodshot and even his footsteps were a little weak.
Hao Ren and King Tai saw this, and came over to express their concern. They both thought that Xiao Lingyu had encountered a problem in his cultivation.
Xiao Lingyu forced a wry smile, and said a few perfunctory words. Then, he began to feed more than a thousand young beasts under his responsibility.
The reason why he was so tired wasn't because he had encountered a problem in his cultivation. In fact, he hadn't been cultivating at all. Instead, he had been trying to piece the contents of the jade slip together. However, he couldn't complete this task even though his mind was very strong. That was because the contents of the jade slip were all self-contained. It didn't seem to have the slightest connection with each other. Xiao Lingyu couldn't connect them together in a reasonable manner no matter how hard he tried.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He hadn't dared to break open the box by force. The jade slip wouldn't have shattered if he had let the black iron box open by itself, or if he had found the key to open it. Then, he wouldn't have had to spend so much effort to reassemble it.
Naturally, regret was useless. After trying for three months, Xiao Lingyu still hadn't found the slightest clue. The only thing he could be sure of was that the contents might indeed be a very powerful magic art. However, the contents were too profound, and it was very difficult to understand them alone. So, he decisively gave up on this task for the time being, and wanted to relax for a while.
To Xiao Lingyu's relief, the strange young beast with the Chaotic Force had already devoured all the energy in the corpses of the magical beasts he had sent into the Spirit Beast Bag. Now, its body was wrapped in a black cocoon of magic power, and it had fallen into a state of deep sleep. If it woke up, its strength would surely be greatly improved. After all, those magical beasts had been in the True Demon Stage when they were alive.
