Ling Xian gave the Ancient One a meaningful look. He made it clear that he would not join any other tribe.
The Ancient One's smile widened. He was completely relieved.
"To have you join us is a great honor." The Ancient One sighed. It was like a dream.
"You are welcome."
Ling Xian waved his hand and looked at Gu Na. "If you want to thank someone, thank your daughter. If she had not helped me out, I would not have joined the Ancient Fire Tribe."
Hearing this, Gu Na blushed. She looked very embarrassed.
She had invited Ling Xian purely because the Undead Cat was cute and well-behaved. Otherwise, she would not have invited him.
"Haha, no matter what, it is a great honor for the Ancient Fire Tribe that you are willing to join us." The Ancient One laughed heartily.
Seeing this, Ling Xian smiled faintly. "Alright, I will rest for a while. I will go see the totem tomorrow."
"Do as you please. I will have my daughter wait here tomorrow morning." The Ancient One cupped his hands in a polite gesture.
"Alright."
Ling Xian smiled. He ordered the hundreds of beasts to stay quiet and not cause any damage.
Then, he walked into the stone house deep in the forest.
As soon as Ling Xian left, Gu Na could not help but ask, "Father, why did you let him see the totem so quickly? Aren't you afraid that he is a spy from another tribe?"
Hearing this, the Ancient One laughed. "Silly girl, with his strength, if he wanted to harm the Ancient Fire Tribe, do you think we would be able to resist?"
"This …"
Gu Na was speechless. She looked at the hundreds of beasts helplessly.
These beasts alone were enough to annihilate the Ancient Fire Tribe, let alone Ling Xian, who had no idea how powerful they were.
"No tribe would be stupid enough to let such a strong person be a spy. Even if he is a spy, he should go to the Qingshui Tribe, not the Ancient Fire Tribe."
The Ancient One smiled. Suddenly, he remembered something and fell silent.
This made Gu Na suspicious. "Father, what's wrong?"
"I just thought of something."
The Ancient One narrowed his eyes and looked at the stone house in the distance. "The Ancient Fire Tribe is hiding a secret. But he cannot know about it."
"What secret?" Gu Na was stunned. She had never heard the Ancient One mention this.
"A huge secret."
The Ancient One's eyes suddenly blazed. "The addition of this person is both a crisis and an opportunity for the Ancient Fire Tribe."
"The crisis refers to offending the Qingshui Tribe. I'm afraid that the future will be difficult."
"As for the opportunity, if we use it properly, our Ancient Fire tribe may become the sixth big tribe in the Cangyue Mountain Range."
The Ancient One's eyes were burning with passion. Ling Xian's appearance had given him an opportunity and ignited his ambition.
When he thought of the possibility of recreating the glory of the distant past, he became excited.
However, Guna was confused.
She had no idea what the secret was and naturally could not understand where the Ancient One's passion came from. She then asked, "Father, what exactly is the secret?"
"This secret is related to the rise and fall of my Ancient Fire Tribe. Only one person in each generation can know about it. Unless there are special circumstances, it must be said before one person dies."
The Ancient One shook his head. "That's why I can't tell you right now. However, I have a feeling that I will be able to tell you soon."
Gu Na frowned and said, "Father, are you talking about him?"
"That's right."
The Ancient One's eyes were burning with passion. "I don't know exactly how strong this person is, but I am certain that he is an unfathomable powerhouse."
Pausing, he said with certainty, "Even if we disregard the art of taming beasts, he himself is unfathomable."
"Even so, he may not help us." Guna frowned.
"That's because you don't know how valuable the secret is. It's not an exaggeration to say that if this gets out, the entire Sorcerer Domain will be shaken."
The Ancient One's face was full of pride. However, when he thought of the Ancient Fire Tribe's downfall, his eyes dimmed.
"The entire Sorcerer Domain will be shaken?" Guna gasped.
"That's right. This secret is of great importance. Everyone is tempted."
The Ancient One nodded solemnly. "As long as I can confirm that his character is good, I can use this secret as a bargaining chip to help the Ancient Fire Tribe rise."
Hearing this, Guna fell into silence and did not comment.
She was certain that Ling Xian was not a bad person, but she did not know what the secret was. She could not be certain that he would help the Ancient Fire Tribe.
The Ancient One could not be certain either.
He simply felt that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. If he missed it, then he would never be able to rise again.
Therefore, he made up his mind to seize this golden opportunity!
"Let's go. We will observe him for a while. I hope he will be a good partner."
The Ancient One's eyes flashed with anticipation. Then, he left with Guna.
…
After entering the stone house, Ling Xian cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and began to cultivate.
Even though at his level, simply absorbing spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth was of little use, this was the nature of cultivation.
Fortuitous encounters aside, it was more dependent on the accumulation of time and months. Dripping water would wear through a stone.
Therefore, Ling Xian did not dare to slack off. He seriously absorbed the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth.
After three hours, he exited his cultivation state and shifted his gaze towards the Undead Cat.
At this moment, the Undead Cat was sleeping. Her small body was curled up into a ball. Every now and then, her two long ears would twitch. It was extremely adorable.
"What a lovable little fellow."
Ling Xian warmly smiled. Then, he began to think about how to train the Undead Cat.
The Undead Cat was a rare beast. Especially the one before him. It had already formed two immortal seals. Though it was not a pure-blooded one, it was not far from it.
Therefore, Ling Xian naturally had to train it well. If he could train it well, it would be a great help in the future!
After all, other than its seemingly infinite vitality, the Undead Cat's battling abilities were comparable to the seven royal kinds. Its offensive abilities, in particular, were comparable to a real dragon!
Its claws were known to split the sky!
"I don't have much experience when it comes to training beasts." Ling Xian frowned. But very quickly, his brows relaxed.
It was true that he didn't have much experience. However, there was a simple and direct way to train any living being. Feed it treasures.
Though this was a method that burned a lot of money, the one thing he didn't lack was money.
"This isn't a bad idea. The Undead Cat's limitless potential makes it worth it." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He had decided on the path to train the Undead Cat.
After all, he was as rich as a country and didn't lack money.
Then, Ling Xian calmed himself down and once again entered his cultivation state.
The next morning, the Sun shone down golden light that shone on Ling Xian's body through the window. He slowly opened his eyes.
"It's time to go see the Ancient Fire Tribe's totem. I wonder if I can replicate a totem other than the God of Water …" Ling Xian pushed open the door and walked out. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
If he could replicate the God of Fire's totem, then his ability would truly be heaven-defying.
