Chapter 85: Can't Move When They Hear About Food
After returning from Emerald Bamboo Peak, Tao Tao was like a wild horse that had been set free. No one from Immortal Spirit Valley could stop her, so they could only let her do as she pleased. However, her cultivation level had increased a lot since she returned, which surprised Mu Chen. He began to call her over to guide her cultivation and planned to train her in drawing spirit talismans and refining pills.
Tao Tao had no interest in either of these two things, but Mu Chen, unlike his usual doting self, demanded that she do them in an extremely serious manner. Tao Tao had no choice but to obey her master's arrangement.
With the Martial Arts Tournament fast approaching, many sects have already arrived. Among them, the fastest to arrive is the Sword Forging Sect. Last time, during the Trial of the Spirit Abyss, they lost many new disciples. This time, they must find a way to win first place, otherwise they will only be looked down upon by other sects.
The Sword Forging Sect traveled three thousand miles on a giant sword to reach the Annihilation Cold Sect. There were many disciples with them, and the leader was Liu Xunfeng, the fifth elder of the Sword Forging Sect. He once forged a Sun-Destroying Longsword that could shake the heavens and the earth. It was fought over by many great cultivators. Later, it was bought by the Valley Master of Wulan Valley at a high price and was used to deal with a level nine demon beast, but it was accidentally lost.
As a result, people doubted whether the Sun-Destroying Sword was as powerful as the legends said, and Liu Xunfeng's sword-making ability was also questioned. From then on, Liu Xunfeng went into seclusion and never stepped out of the sword-making sect again.
This time, Liu Xunfeng actually led the team here personally, which shows that the shadow of that year has passed and he has completely let go. However, it also shows that the Sword Forging Sect is quite concerned about this.
Upon their arrival, Liu Xunfeng was personally received by Si Chi, the sect leader of the Yanhan Sect. Si Chi and Liu Xunfeng were old acquaintances, and the two were delighted to see each other. They chatted all the way to Lancui Pavilion and were treated to fine wine.
"I've heard that your sect has produced an extraordinary genius. I'm truly envious." Liu Xunfeng looked to be only in his fifties, tall with thick eyebrows and large eyes. He wore a gray robe and looked very bright.
Hearing his question, Si Chi understood and said with a smile, "No wonder you were looking around as soon as you came in. It turns out you were eyeing our Yanhan Sect disciple. Let me tell you, you can't touch this little disciple. He's Elder You Yunzi's darling."
"Could it also be a demonic beast?"
"What other identity could someone have to be able to enter the Immortal Spirit Valley?"
When the topic of Immortal Spirit Valley came up, Liu Xunfeng looked troubled. None of those demonic beasts were easy to deal with, so he gave up on the idea.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's drink. This is plum wine that I brewed myself. Drinking it can improve your cultivation."
"Then I'll have to give it a good try."
……
Hearing that other sects were arriving one after another, Tao Tao naturally wanted to join in the fun. However, her master had been watching her closely and forcing her to cultivate. She finally had a chance to catch her breath when the Hidden Moon Sect sent people and Mu Chen needed to greet them.
However, as soon as she had the chance, she turned around and left Immortal Spirit Valley, and no one could stop her.
This time she didn't go to find Song Chaofeng, since he was on Emerald Bamboo Peak. She didn't know how Gu Hanshuang would handle the matter of Luo Cuiyu Marrow Bamboo last time, and she dared not go to her death.
"Isn't this Sister Yue from Immortal Spirit Valley? Are you also going to the back mountain to capture Red Pine Sheep?"
Several disciples from Xiao Huan Peak walked over and happened to see Tao Tao, so they went up to ask him a question. Tao Tao asked with a puzzled look, "Red Pine Sheep?"
"Yes, Master specifically sent us to capture it. I heard that the meat of the Chisong mutton is delicious and can keep people young forever. It's a treasure from head to toe. Master probably sent us here to entertain the female disciples of the Yanyue Sect."
Tao Tao didn't hear anything else, but the words "delicious meat" went straight to her mind. Tao Tao's eyes immediately lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Senior brother, can you take me there? I can help!"
"That's not impossible, but the Red Pine Sheep have very hard horns and a bad temper, so Junior Sister should be careful."
"Don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen." Tao Tao patted her chest, looking extremely happy. The disciples of Xiao Huan Peak were naturally happy as well. Although Tao Tao was their junior sister, her cultivation was not low, and she might be able to help. However, they also had to be careful not to let anything happen to her, otherwise they would have a hard time explaining themselves.
Many kinds of plants and spiritual materials grow on the back mountain of the Annihilation Cold Sect, which has attracted many demon beasts to build nests there. Under normal circumstances, the demon beasts and the Annihilation Cold Sect do not interfere with each other, but occasionally one or two demon beasts with slightly higher cultivation will be ignorant and try to cross the boundary, and will be driven away or killed by the gatekeeper disciples.
The disciple leading Xiao Huanfeng was surnamed Zhang and named Zhang Quan. When he released his divine sense using the Rainbow Sword Qi, there were specks of rainbow light surrounding him.
“I found it. It’s just ahead. It should be the nest of the Red Pine Sheep. Let’s be careful. In a moment, Fifth Junior Brother and Sixth Junior Brother will set up an array to lure them out. Junior Sister Yue and I will attack from the front. Remember, we can’t disturb too many of them. Red Pine Sheep are social beasts. If there are more than three, we will retreat immediately.”
"Yes!"
Zhang Feng had made preparations before coming and knew how to deal with the Red Pine Sheep, but if there were too many Red Pine Sheep, they would not be able to handle them, so they had to retreat first.
After speaking, Zhang Feng looked at Tao Tao and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Sister."
"Don't worry, senior brother, we're determined to get this Red Pine Sheep!" Tao Tao seemed even more excited than the others, his twin rings already emitting a faint glow, eager to rush over.
Zhang Feng sighed helplessly, it seemed that saying Chishong mutton was delicious was definitely true.
The two disciples had already approached the nest and were setting up an array on either side. It was a small array that could release the fire-type spiritual energy that the Red Pine Sheep loved most, thus luring them out.
As the formation was activated, a wave of intense heat spread out, causing the surrounding vegetation to sway incessantly with the heat, and the air to become increasingly dry.
At this moment, the ground began to shake. Zhang Feng released his divine sense again and found that several red pine sheep were approaching the entrance of the nest. He was overjoyed, "They're here. There are three. Junior sister, let's go together."
He had just finished speaking when he turned around, only to find that Tao Tao was no longer there. He was immediately stunned, "Junior Sister!?"
A crisp "clang" attracted Zhang Feng's attention. He looked towards the nest and saw that Tao Tao had already summoned her double rings and was fighting against three red pine sheep. He didn't know if it was because her cultivation had improved or because her magic weapon was too powerful, but she had already knocked off the horn of one of the red pine sheep with her first strike.
The red ram, intensified by the pain, let out a roar, its eyes turned bloodshot, and it stomped its hooves on the ground as it charged headlong at Tao Tao.
This is terrible!
Without a second thought, Zhang Feng swiftly flew away on his sword, unleashing the Rainbow Sword Formation to surround the three Red Pine Sheep. Five longswords spun and relentlessly pierced the Red Pine Sheep. Unlike other demonic beasts with hard shells, they could only defend themselves with their horns.
However, the Red Pine Sheep were somewhat exhausted under the onslaught of the sword formation. So they actually gathered together, aligned their three pairs of horns, and instantly a crimson shield appeared to protect them. The sword formation could no longer break through.
