CHAPTER 752: CHAPTER 675: ASCEND TO THE PEAK 74

There is no danger in the Secret Realm, and it is rich in spiritual energy, perfectly suited for the growth conditions of the Transformation Pill. Hence, over time, humans have no shortage of these pills. This is one of the reasons magic beasts do not resist forming contracts with humans; with a master, they need not worry about transformation.

Transforming into a human form is critically important for magic beasts, as it affects their potential to become stronger in the future. No matter how formidable the beast’s physical body is, it must be admitted that humans are the spirit of all creatures. Only by cultivating with a human form can one better align with the operation of nature’s spiritual energy.

Bai Sheng is a wild magic beast living in the mountains and forests, without a master. But it does not lack Transformation Pills, as after a battle with the Demon Clan, the nation’s subsidies always include these pills. For magic beasts, however, more of these pills are always beneficial, as even if one cannot use them, one’s descendants or partner might need them.

The Transformation Pills brought by Tan Shuangshuang were a box full of ten high-quality pills. They weren’t extremely expensive but weren’t cheap either. This gift was certainly to Bai Sheng’s liking. Previously, Bai Sheng only noticed Fei Hu when Tan Shuangshuang came, showing neither warmth nor coldness towards her.

This time, after Tan Shuangshuang presented the gift, Bai Sheng straightforwardly expressed his liking for it and took out a batch of top-grade spiritual fruits from the storage bag under his neck, unique to the Winged Tiger Clan’s territory, as a token of thanks to Tan Shuangshuang.

Fei Hu saw Tan Shuangshuang not eating meat anymore and rushed over, whining as it leaped into Tan Shuangshuang’s arms, clinging to her affectionately and refusing to get down, forcing Tan Shuangshuang to hold the big cat Tuan Tuan while continuing to chat leisurely with Bai Sheng.

It’s undeniable that magic beasts with wisdom and the ability to speak human language have an inexplicable humor in conversations, especially when Bai Sheng is a stable type of Winged Tiger. Tan Shuangshuang spoke about Fei Hu’s childhood incidents, the mistakes made while raising Fei Hu, and his mischievous antics, quite happily.

Sighing with a bit of regret, Tan Shuangshuang said, "Although I have done my best to take care of Fei Hu, it’s a pity I am not a Winged Tiger and don’t know how to teach hunting skills. I can only find some information on tiger-like magic beasts to guide him, and I am unsure if it’s correct."

Bai Sheng gently gazed at Tan Shuangshuang with his naturally fierce tiger eyes, and in a low voice, he said, "You’ve taught Fei Hu very well. This child is smart and has good talents. During this period, I will teach him the combat skills of the Winged Tiger Clan. Fei Hu learns very quickly."

Tan Shuangshuang spent an entire day with Fei Hu before leaving, and for the next few days, she visited Fei Hu daily, always bringing many spiritual fruits as gifts, along with some special delicacies. Although magic beasts prefer blood food, they do not resist human-made delicacies.

After these few battles, Tan Shuangshuang had gained quite a reputation on the battlefield. Even though she was active in the low-level cultivators’ battles, she was dealing with high-level demons, saving countless lives. Now, those high-level cultivators with her had an outstanding rapport in the military camp.

Walking around this camp, Tan Shuangshuang received numerous heartfelt greetings, genuinely appreciating her efforts.

These days, those responsible for the battle, including Tan Shuangshuang, could finally relax a bit and take some time for cultivation. Battling on the front lines is the best form of training, and everyone showed progress.

Tan Shuangshuang was no exception, advancing faster than others. She was now a Fifth Rank Great Martial Artist, her cultivation speed shooting upwards, leaving others astounded and feeling envious.

However, the army leaders and sect heads remained busy, gathering for meetings to discuss strategies against the Demon Clan.

Tan Shuangshuang cultivated for two days, and the expected counterattack from the Demon Clan hadn’t arrived yet, delayed beyond expectations. The camp was lively today because resources supported by Wanyou Trading House had arrived at the front lines.

Accompanying them were resources from the sect supporting the country. Although the sect’s contribution wasn’t as generous as Wanyou Trading House’s, it was still substantial.

Countering the Demon Clan is a task for all intelligent races, not just humans. Even magic beasts contributed a lot of resources, for if the Demon Clan succeeded in invading, it would spell disaster, changing the world and rendering it unlivable for all beings except the Demon Clan.

The team from Wanyou Trading House was composed of personnel arranged beforehand by Yan Xing, who, as the manager of Wanyou Trading House in Baiyue Country, had been staying in the camp participating in battles. The person from Wuji Sect surprised Tan Shuangshuang, for it was Lu Tianyi who arrived!

Tan Shuangshuang knew this because Lu Tianyi hurried to visit her after delivering the supplies but had to leave quickly to return to the sect for the next batch of supplies.

Every time battles with the Demon Clan erupted, the whole nation would prepare for war. Not just the sects, but Wanyou Trading House, the country, and various families, all the way down to the common people, would collect as much as possible to send to the front lines, as long as it didn’t impede their own survival.

Everyone understood that the frontline warriors fought to protect them, and if the Demon Clan succeeded, they would all perish.

It’s true to say that everyone was united against the Demon Clan, making every effort to support the battle, which was why, despite frequent invasions, the Demon Clan never succeeded. The power of unity is incalculable.

Now, Lu Tianyi had a heavy task. Although his cultivation level was not high, his mind was exceedingly clever. Wuji Sect was in need of manpower, and since Lu Tianyi got along well with many stewards and outer sect elders, earning their trust, the sect assigned him many duties.

An important task was to escort batches of the collected resources from the sect and nearby common folk to support the military in battle.

It must be said that this Lu Tianyi was more outstanding than in the past life. Previously, he was busy assisting Hua Qingcheng in accumulating wealth and establishing underground intelligence networks, striving to meet all her demands.

In this life, Lu Tianyi’s gratitude shifted, and Tan Shuangshuang did not aim to exploit him in any way, allowing him complete freedom. Consequently, Lu Tianyi achieved greater success compared to his past life, where he purposely downplayed his exceptional qualities for Hua Qingcheng.

Though Tan Shuangshuang remained indifferent and even if Lu Tianyi came to offer himself for utilization, she never accepted. Lu Tianyi felt a regret that he couldn’t aid his benefactor, but simultaneously, his admiration and respect for her grew.

Lu Tianyi was extremely intelligent and knew clearly the benefits he could offer Tan Shuangshuang. Yet, she persistently refused to exploit him, which was especially moving to Lu Tianyi.

Because Tan Shuangshuang saved him just for the sake of saving, expecting nothing in return. Even seeing the potential for exploitation, she refrained from it. The more she acted this way, the more grateful Lu Tianyi became and the more he aspired to aid Tan Shuangshuang in some way.
