Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 111: The Art Style Begins to Go Astray

Zhaojia Gou, the ancestral home of the Zhao family.

Peach blossoms, ripened by spiritual arts, bloom all year round.

Underneath a peach blossom tree.

Yulan, dressed in a white jacket, leaned against an oval stone table. In one hand, she held a small white porcelain bowl filled with milk. With the other hand, she scooped up spoonfuls of milk and fed them to a small white cat, slightly larger than a palm, lying on the stone table.

"Good kitty, eat a little more."

Yulan spoke softly to the little white cat, as if coaxing a child.

The little white cat turned over, revealing its round belly. It even patted its furry little paws, indicating that it had eaten enough.

"Husband said you were imprisoned by bad people for twenty years and your growth was restricted by secret techniques. You haven't even had a sip of milk since you were little. If you don't eat more now, you may never grow."

Yulan tried to persuade and threaten at the same time, extending the spoon once again.

"Kitty, this is the sheep's milk I worked so hard to find. I also added many medicinal herbs to it. Eat a little more."

The little white cat rolled its eyes in a human-like manner, tilting its small head to the side, completely unmoved.

Yulan immediately put down the bowl, snorted, and complained to Yu Xian, who was playing with a tiger on the side.

"Husband, the kitty isn't listening to me again."

"Meow!"

The little white cat was suddenly frightened, its fur standing on end, and its tail raised high. It pounced on the milk bowl like a fierce tiger and began to drink with its tender pink tongue.

"Haha..."

Seeing this, Yulan burst into laughter, reached out and rubbed the little white cat's head, and said with satisfaction,

"I had to complain to make you listen. Will you dare not listen next time?"

"Drink quickly, I've prepared a lot for you."

Yulan treated this sudden little creature with great kindness and enthusiasm.

After all, someone would go out and have tea, train the concubines, and occasionally enjoy the Zhao family's sugar-coated cannonballs.

But she didn't have many friends in the Zhao family.

Apart from Wang Jie occasionally coming over to accompany her, she didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Even though she was intimate with her husband, there were some things that were difficult to say.

So when this little creature, brought back by her husband casually, appeared, it was as if she had gained a playmate and someone to confide in.

Yes, it's because it can't speak that it's being bullied.

Yu Xian, half reclining on the chair, saw Yulan enjoying herself there, with a smile on her lips, and glanced at the ghost tiger lying next to his recliner.

"Fortunately, you gave birth to a female tiger. If it were a male... hehe..."

These two tigers, big and small, were naturally the spoils he obtained from the Ghost Tiger Sect.

In this day and age, demonic beasts can cultivate and transform.

If he were to raise a male tiger, with so many women around him, being ignored would already be a fate worse than death.

If one day it transformed and competed with him for women, that would be too ridiculous.

To eliminate this faint possibility, whether it was the ghost tiger or the little white tiger, if either of them were not female, both mother and daughter would be turned into roast meat.

The Lei family, who inherited a secret technique for taming tigers from generation to generation in the Ghost Tiger Sect, could easily control demonic tigers and even manipulate tiger-like demonic beasts beyond their level.

But this secret technique is somewhat useless when it comes to other types of tigers.

Yu Xian came suddenly, and naturally the Lei family father and son didn't have time to destroy their inheritance, so all the treasures of the Ghost Tiger Sect were packed up and taken back by him.

Including this technique for taming tigers.

Yu Xian practiced for three days and quickly grasped this secret technique.

In addition, he obtained the ghost tiger's totem puppet from the old man in the black robe, so controlling the ghost tiger was almost effortless.

Yu Xian patted the ghost tiger's head, clearly smiling, but still scared the ghost tiger into trembling.

The new owner by its side is not the black-robed old man who used secret methods to forcibly control it.

It naturally looks down on the weak, even if its totem puppet is in someone else's hands, it doesn't care.

Because it knows that the black-robed old man is reluctant to kill it.

But for the strong, it fully respects the jungle rules it has relied on since childhood.

Because the new owner will really kill it.

Seeing the ghost tiger behaving like a big cat, Yu Xian playfully stroked it a few times.

After all, it is a Foundation Building level combat power, it would be a pity to kill and eat it.

Moreover, this ghost tiger seems to be a different kind of tiger demon, and the ghost mist used to assist the tiger seems to have great potential for development, which is wasted in the hands of the Lei family father and son.

Because the strength of the Lei family father and son is too weak, they have deliberately suppressed the strength of the ghost tiger over the years, keeping it at the early stage of the second stage.

After all, taming tigers is not a divine technique, being able to control one level higher is already the limit.

If the ghost tiger's strength were to have a breakthrough, their fragile contract would be broken.

And there's the little white tiger.

In order to control the ghost tiger, the Lei family father and son used secret methods to suppress its growth, resulting in it being physically weak despite being twenty years old.

Almost can be said to have wasted all its potential, becoming a waste among tigers.

But after experiencing such torment, its wisdom seems to have greatly increased.

But wisdom is just wisdom, if there are no opportunities in the future, it will only be at the level of a pet.

"There's also..."

Yu Xian replayed the battle on Ghost Tiger Peak in his mind.

The strength of the Blood Puppet was as expected, its frontal combat power comparable to the later stage of Foundation Building, and possibly even stronger.

Otherwise, it would not have been able to shatter Ghost Tiger Sect's mountain protection formation with just three punches.

But its shortcomings are also obvious, its mobility is not enough. Faced with the Kui Water Divine Thunder falling from the mountain protection formation, it has almost no dodging ability and can only be a target and take the hit.

Fortunately, the bones of the Blood Puppet have been tempered by the tribulation, giving it great resistance to thunder attribute attacks.

If it were a similar level attack of a different attribute, it would not have been as easy as it showed before.

Another issue is the control distance of the Blood Puppet, which can only be described as barely satisfactory, consistent with the coverage range of divine sense, nearly six hundred meters.

If it goes further, the Blood Puppet will lose control and become a lifeless puppet.

But overall, he is satisfied.

Because as his cultivation level increases, his divine sense will also become stronger.

When he breaks through to the Gold Core stage, the coverage range of his divine sense will reach a dozen or so li, and the Blood Puppet will be no different from his second body.

The other thing is that he has discovered the way to upgrade the Blood Puppet.

It can only be said that demonic cultivation is indeed demonic cultivation. The Blood Puppet refined from it is also demonic in nature. If the Blood Puppet wants to continue to grow in strength, it needs to absorb enough essence of flesh and blood.

"The puppet devours the flesh, the ghost tiger devours the soul, a perfect combination for destroying the body and erasing all traces. But why does this style seem a bit off?"

Yu Xian remembered that scene and felt that he was becoming more and more like a demon lord.

Tap tap!!

Footsteps came from outside, and the appearance of a third person broke the harmonious scene under the peach blossoms.

"Master, Miss Yulan."

The person who came was Zhao Shiwen.

In the Zhao family, only she could walk in without prior notice.

Compared to her appearance two years ago, she seemed more confident, with a natural face, only tied up in a high ponytail, without excessive makeup. Her baby face became more slender and delicate.

And it seemed that she deliberately bound her chest, making the curve in front of her flat, reducing at least two cup sizes.

She seemed to be trying to enhance her authority, and she also changed into a dark-colored strong suit, her overall appearance tending towards neutrality.

Of course, only Yu Xian could understand the hotness and enthusiasm beneath this disguise.

"Shiwen, why are you here?" Yulan was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Shiwen's appearance, but she didn't inquire further.

Zhao Shiwen smiled and said, "There are some things in the market that I want to ask the master about."

"Is it about the beast tide?"

Yuxian didn't get up, lying lazily on the chair, and said casually.

Zhao Shiwen was already accustomed to Yuxian's straightforward way of speaking, so she nodded and said, "Yes, master. Recently, there have been many unfamiliar monsters appearing nearby, and they have already injured many people. Everyone suspects that they have come from the Wan Yao Mountain Range."

"Nowadays, the beast tide has caused panic among the people, but there is still no news from the ancestors. Master, you are our backbone now. The elders are afraid to come and see you, so they asked me to ask for your opinion."

Yuxian said casually, "My opinion?"

"When the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up. There is no news from Shangyang City either. Why are they so anxious?"

"Your ancestors care more about the life and death of the Zhao family than you do. If there is any change, they will find a way to notify you. The fact that there is no news now means that the situation is not critical."

"So my opinion is that the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish."

"Why not take advantage of the panic caused by the beast tide and gather more spirit stones. If the Zhao family can have two more Foundation Building cultivators, what do you have to worry about? They would be like running spirit stones."

Zhao Shiwen was amused by these words and agreed, "Master is right. I also feel that the market is lacking in strength, and many things are being done with hands tied."

"In fact, there are quite a few Qi Refining cultivators in the Zhao family who have reached the Consummation stage. There are four or five of them under sixty years old. But they are all waiting for the Foundation Building pill from the ancestors and are not willing to take risks."

"As far as I know, the Zhao family has two sets of Foundation Building spiritual materials in reserve. If they are all willing to fight to the death, maybe one or two of them can really succeed."

Awakened by Yuxian's words, Zhao Shiwen secretly made a decision to use the Foundation Building spiritual material in the market to form a contract with a Qi Refining Consummation cultivator.

As long as her strength improved, problems would no longer be problems.

It's just a pity that Yuxian seems to have the intention of staying out of it.

Otherwise, taking advantage of this beast tide would be a great opportunity for them to expand their influence in the Zhao family.

Having been in charge of the Zhao family market for over two years and given unlimited power by Yuxian, Zhao Shiwen's appetite had already grown.

Now, she not only wanted to be in charge of the Zhao family market, but also wanted to be in charge within the Zhao family.
