Qin Ran was sitting on the sofa and Zhui Feng was sitting on the coffee table. Qin Ran was staring at Zhui Feng and Zhui Feng was licking his fur.
"What's going on?!" Qin Ran asked Zhuifeng.
“Meow…” Zhuifeng took a break from his busy schedule and responded to him in a baby voice.
Li Shiyin came out of the kitchen with three cups of milk in her hands. She handed one to Qin Ran, placed one next to Zhuifeng, and stood by the sofa holding one herself.
After taking a big gulp of milk, she asked Qin Ran, "What happened to Zhuifeng? Did he do something bad?"
Qin Ran took the milk, glanced at Li Shiyin, and found that the white milk had formed a circle of "white beard" on her "chin", which was quite funny. He laughed in his heart, but did not intend to remind her.
He suppressed his laughter and said, "Zhuifeng has started practicing."
"Hmm? Master, when did you teach him to practice?" Li Shiyin was confused. "How come I don't know?"
Qin Ran glanced at her, what a stupid disciple.
"I didn't teach you that," he replied.
"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded, then reacted and realized the seriousness of the problem. She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Can Zhuifeng practice on his own? Have you awakened the inheritance, Zhuifeng?"
"Meow..." Zhuifeng called out helplessly twice. It didn't want to pay attention to these two boring people and began to wash its face with its paws.
The magic skills of monsters can be passed down through blood, just like human civilization is passed down through writing. As long as one possesses the blood of a monster that can pass on magic skills, and meets certain conditions, one can awaken the inheritance and gain skills or magical powers from the memories of their ancestors.
Zhuifeng is a Mysterious Spirit Tiger, a level 7 demon beast, and is qualified to inherit his bloodline. Therefore, if he has awakened his bloodline, then it is easy to explain why he can practice.
But…
The problem is that Zhuifeng has not awakened his bloodline. He is still too young and not qualified. He may have his bloodline awakened, but not now.
Qin Ran shook his head and said, "No, he has not yet awakened his bloodline inheritance."
He looked at Zhuifeng and said word by word, "So someone must have taught him how to practice."
Li Shiyin was startled: "Who?"
“If it’s not me, and if it’s not you either, then…” Qin Ran’s face looked very solemn.
Following his train of thought, Li Shiyin also pondered. She took another sip of milk and analyzed, "A person who is not from Danfeng but can come to Danfeng."
See
The two masters and apprentices were still acting and analyzing things seriously. Zhuifeng licked his fur, washed his face, gave Qin Ran a cold look, then walked to his share of milk, picked up the cup with his two strong front paws, and gulped down the milk in one breath.
He burped, smacked his lips, jumped off the coffee table, and staggered out of the house... He was a little drunk.
"Did he give me a cold look just now?" Qin Ran asked Li Shiyin while pointing at Zhuifeng who was walking out.
"Yeah, I saw it, very clearly." Li Shiyin nodded, "He looked very disdainful."
“I was despised by a cat?” Qin Ran couldn’t believe it.
Li Shiyin corrected: "It's a Xuanming Spirit Tiger."
The master and disciple ate something for breakfast while planning what to do today.
Hmm? What? What is the practice of the Wind Chasing Society
Well... I can only say that there is a person in Danfeng whose cultivation talent is very rubbish. He can't stand seeing other people and other creatures take shortcuts and can easily embark on the path of cultivation, so he wants to find fault. I won't say who it is, I just hope he can take care of himself.
As for why Zhuifeng could practice cultivation, the reason was that he was the child of a seventh-level demon beast. His bloodline was not ordinary. Even if he grew up freely in the wild, it would not take him long to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and embark on the path of cultivation. Moreover, he was in Danfeng. Qin Ran never avoided him when he taught Li Shiyin, and even deliberately explained it in more detail for him...
So Qin Ran knew very well why Zhuifeng was able to practice, he was just doing it for the show effect!
"The sky is clear today, you can continue digging the lake." Qin Ran stood up, looked at the weather conditions through the window glass, and said to Li Shiyin.
"Master~" Li Shiyin pulled Changweiyin and acted coquettishly, "Can't you just take a day off?"
This coquettish behavior made Qin Ran's scalp tingle. He said with a cold face, "Take a break today and tomorrow, but how long do you plan to finish digging a lake?"
"Ah..." Li Shiyin sighed, stood up and walked out of the house, pouting, "I can't even rest today, bad master! Stinky master!"
Qin Ran walked towards the stairs, ready to go upstairs.
"Master, do you want to sleep?" Li Shiyin saw him going upstairs, thought of his dark circles, and shouted at the door, "It's not fair! It's not fair! I work and you sleep, I want to sleep too, no... I want to play!"
"Sleep?!" Qin Ran replied unhappily, "How can I have time to sleep?!"
I don't bother with this guy.
Qin Ran went straight upstairs and came to the study.
He took out the porcelain bottle containing willow catkins, opened the jade seal, looked at the shape of the willow catkins, and then placed it on the desk.
"Willow trees, Hengduan Mountains, primeval forests, violent spiritual energy..." He muttered as he searched on the bookshelf. Soon, he found a thick book that recorded the special plants in the Hengduan Mountains.
There are not many willow trees that can live in the primeval forest, and even fewer that can live so arrogantly. Qin Ran quickly found the original form of the willow catkins.
Comparing the catkins drawn in the book with the catkins in the porcelain vase, its identity was easily determined:
The Devouring Demonic Willow!
Legendary creatures...
According to the book, there is a willow tree deep in the Hengduan Mountains, which is at least the level of a ninth-level monster. Every thousand years, there will be a willow catkin explosion in the Hengduan Mountains, and these catkins will cause all the monsters in the Hengduan Mountains to enter a violent state. According to rumors, the earliest willow catkin explosion was nine thousand years ago.
Closing the book, Qin Ran felt a chill down his spine. Could it be that all the monsters went berserk? There were still such dangerous monsters deep in the Hengduan Mountains... The beasts existed?! It would have been fine if it existed, but it happened to happen to explode.
Moreover, it is just a rumor that there is such a willow tree, which means that no cultivator has ever seen this willow tree with his own eyes. So how powerful is this willow tree
Qin Ran couldn't help but think of Zhuifeng's mother chasing the Yulei Unicorn to Daojianmen, and the golden clouded leopard being hunted by a giant snake in the dark. It was hard to say that they were not affected by the catkins.
“Should I consider running away?” Qin Ran couldn’t help but think of this idea.
He originally thought that the monster's rampage was just a small-scale incident, and planned to let Li Shiyin take advantage of the time to practice sword control and magic so that she could hone her skills among the monsters. But now it seems that the problem is a bit serious!
Qin Ran put the book back on the bookshelf and suddenly heard Li Shiyin's "Hehehaha" voice outside. He frowned. What was his silly apprentice doing
He walked quickly to the corridor and tried his best to look towards Li Shiyin, and found that Li Shiyin was holding a sword and slashing in the mud pit.
She was practicing swordplay, digging a lake, and playing around, having a lot of fun.
“Li…” Qin Ran was about to speak out to stop her, but after thinking it over, he decided not to.
After watching Li Shiyin practice sword for a while, he finally went back to the study.
"Running away is the last option," he thought.
