Mu Shiyue had no idea that Wanxuan Sect's reputation had developed such an excessive deviation.
She was lying on a chair, leisurely watching the young cubs running around everywhere.
Only here could one see cubs of different races playing so happily and harmoniously.
After lying for a while, noisy sounds came from outside the door.
Hu Niu had returned with the disciples.
"Back already." Mu Shiyue lazily greeted them.
"Roar~"
Hu Niu called out to her.
"Hm?"
Mu Shiyue turned her head and saw Hu Niu pat Jiang Yunnuan beside it.
Jiang Yunnuan immediately stepped forward and handed over a storage bag.
Mu Shiyue lowered her head and saw a very beautiful and grand storage bag.
At a glance, one could tell that this kind of storage bag could only be used by a powerful and wealthy big shot, higher ranked than all of the previous storage bags.
This kind of storage bag obviously costs a lot of money, and to fully utilize the space inside, one's cultivation couldn't be low.
"This is…"
"Roar~"
Hu Niu proudly raised its head and called out.
Mu Shiyue: "..."
This was snatched from a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator.
The corner of her mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, responding with silence.
"Roar~"
Hu Niu grabbed the storage bag with one paw, then pushed it in front of Mu Shiyue and called again.
It's bargaining with her.
After listening to its request, Mu Shiyue was already expressionless.
Hu Niu's request was very simple, it wanted to live in the largest room, and this storage bag was the payment it gave.
"Hiss hiss~"
Xiao Qing darted back onto Chu Jingzhuo's hand and conveyed Hu Niu's meaning.
Chu Jingzhuo: "..."
The others also quickly learned of what Hu Niu said, their expressions equally complicated.
They finally understood why Hu Niu had snatched the storage bag.
Earlier, after Hu Niu returned, it brought Meng Fanzé and Lu Wenjun to collect the spirit crystals scattered everywhere.
As a spirit beast, Hu Niu naturally didn't understand how to use a storage bag, nor was it interested in one.
So, the spirit crystals Luo Shunyi had thrown out to lure it away were still scattered everywhere.
That's why they had been very curious on why Hu Niu also grabbed the other party's storage bag back, it could not even use it!
Now they finally understood that this was a bargaining chip to negotiate with Mu Shiyue!
Everyone looked at Hu Niu with complicated expressions.
Although they knew that the stronger a spirit beast was, the smarter it became, Hu Niu was clearly becoming a spirit.
Mu Shiyue was also speechless, she did not know why Hu Niu thought she liked storage bags.
However, Hu Niu's request wasn't too difficult, so she agreed.
"Alright, I'll have them make you a big room."
"Roar~"
Hu Niu immediately became happy.
That's great!
Sure enough, she really liked storage bags!
Mu Shiyue's mouth twitched, wanting to explain that she actually didn't like collecting storage bags.
However, Hu Niu didn't give her the chance to explain, happily hopping away.
That cheerful back view looked full of youthful vitality, not at all like one that had given birth, more like a youthful little princess!
"Ang~"
Beside them, Da Yanzi, who had been lying on the ground eating bamboo, also got up and curiously looked at the storage bag on the ground, reaching out a paw to pick it up and examine it.
Then, it sniffed, and its eyes suddenly lit up.
So it was this thing, it also had one!
Then, it directly turned around and ran off.
Thump, thump, thump.
Mu Shiyue: "..."
The disciples: "..."
"Moo~"
The Spotted Spirit Cow Ah Xiang also came over.
Ah Xiang had always been gentle and inconspicuous. It didn't compete or fight, spending its days leisurely eating grass and producing milk, sometimes helping with farming, its life relaxed and comfortable.
Originally it also needed to take care of its young, but Ah Lang followed Little Tiger Baby and the others running around every day, not needing its care at all.
Ah Xiang lowered its head and used its hoof to paw at the storage bag.
"Senior Ah Xiang also has a storage bag?!"
The disciples looked at each other, all unable to help being surprised.
Actually, it wasn't that strange for spirit beasts to have storage bags.
There were many people entering Myriad Beast Forest every day, many of them obtained treasures, and even more of them were injured or even perished.
When something happened to them, wouldn't their storage bags be left behind?
Some storage bags had seals, even if the owner perished, they wouldn't break open.
It was normal for spirit beasts to be curious and drag these things back to their nests.
Wasn't the shield that the Soul-Devouring Tiger brought before left behind by a previous cultivator?
Although Ah Xiang wasn't combative, it's still a fourth-rank spirit beast and would definitely encounter many cultivators.
Ah Xiang looked at them, neither shaking its head nor nodding, and turned to walk to the back.
Everyone didn't think much of it and took out the previous storage bags.
"Where did these come from?" Mu Shiyue asked in confusion. "Didn't you go mining for spirit crystals?"
It always felt like every time they went out, they would obtain some storage bags, this development didn't seem quite right.
Qin Yiwei explained the origin of these storage bags, "…and that's what happened."
"So after seeing you, they directly threw down their storage bags and ran?" Mu Shiyue frowned, full of confusion, "Why?"
"I don't know either." Qin Yiwei shook her head. "Anyway, they ran."
Mu Shiyue blinked, "Could it be that the domineering aura on you scared them?"
The disciples: "..."
"Master, you really know how to joke around." The several of them twitched their mouths, their expressions complicated.
"Alright then." Mu Shiyue shrugged. "As long as you're fine."
"We're fine. With senior here, we won't be in danger." Xin Jinrui directly called everyone to take out all of the spirit crystals.
Very quickly, the ground here was covered with spirit crystals, even of various colors!
If other people were here, they would definitely be so excited they wouldn't be able to breathe.
However, seeing Mu Shiyue's calm expression, the disciples also suppressed the excitement in their hearts.
They couldn't let master think they were inexperienced and not capable of being entrusted with greater responsibilities!
"Master, how do you think we should set up the array?" Meng Fanzé moved close to Mu Shiyue and asked.
"What do you think?" Mu Shiyue asked instead of answering.
Meng Fanzé scratched his head, "I originally had some ideas, but there are too many spirit crystals…"
His previous idea was quite good, use spirit crystals to set up a Spirit Gathering Array for everyone to cultivate.
But unexpectedly, there were so many spirit crystals!
When they dug up the spirit crystals earlier, they were almost overwhelmed with excitement.
With so many spirit crystals, how could they be fully utilized?
Meng Fanzé thought that his own ability wasn't enough, so he could only come to find master.
"Write down your ideas first, then I'll help you revise them." Mu Shiyue didn't take charge of the matter herself either, but yawned and stretched.
"Yes." Meng Fanzé nodded obediently.
"My heavens! What's going on?!"
Lu Wenjun suddenly sucked in a breath.
Everyone followed her gaze and were also dumbfounded.
—Ah Xiang was grabbed by Hu Niu and flown into the sky!
While they were stunned, Hu Niu carried Ah Xiang and landed in front of them.
Everyone: ???
