The journey was fairly smooth, except that Feng Xi was forced from time to time to perform acrobatics for Xiao Baidao to watch.
For example, a kite flip, standing on one leg like a golden rooster, dragonfly skimming the water…
Xiao Baidao's old heart rose and fell, and later he simply became numb.
Because although his little disciple's sword flight looked thrilling, nothing actually happened.
He even somewhat suspected that wooden sword did it on purpose.
But was that possible?
It was nothing more than an ordinary wooden sword.
It simply didn't deserve his precious disciple!
He silently made a decision. Once Feng Xi's dantian was completely healed, he would take her to Wan Jian Wall to choose a spirit sword.
His little disciple was clever and intelligent, she would certainly encounter a destined spirit sword.
If once didn't work, then go several more times.
The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Go often enough, and naturally fate would come.
This day, the three master and disciples arrived at Beast-Taming Sect.
Hu Wankui personally came outside the mountain gate to receive them, giving Xiao Baidao enough face.
If it was in the past, he would at most wait at the entrance of the main hall.
The reason for such courtesy this time was entirely because Feng Xi had saved Xing Wu and the others at the Extreme Cold Ice Plains.
After Xiao Baidao and Hu Wankui exchanged greetings, Feng Xi smilingly bowed to Hu Wankui, calling him "Martial Uncle Hu" again and again, sounding extremely intimate.
Hu Wankui also appeared kind and amiable, his face full of smiles.
Xiao Baidao felt so sour in his heart it was bubbling.
He even somewhat regretted making this trip!
But thinking of the benefits Hu Wankui had promised, he endured it.
Hu Wankui chatted with Feng Xi for a while, then smilingly said to Xiao Baidao, "Sect Master Xiao, please come inside!"
Xiao Baidao stepped in with measured strides and entered the mountain gate of Beast-Taming Sect.
Feng Xi now had a bit of a psychological shadow toward mountain gates. She lifted her leg high and placed her step lightly, carefully stepping over the threshold.
This scene, in the eyes of the Beast-Taming Sect disciples, became an expression of Feng Xi's admiration and respect for Beast-Taming Sect.
Many people secretly nodded, no wonder Xing Wu and the others kept praising Feng Xi after returning. This little girl's character was indeed quite good.
Feng Xi didn't know that she had accidentally gained a wave of goodwill. Seeing that nothing happened, she let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that only the ancestor of Xuantian Sect was disrespectful in old age, the ancestor of Beast-Taming Sect was very good!
After entering the mountain gate, Feng Xi saw many white cranes ahead.
Xing Wu came over and said, "Little Junior Sister, these are our Beast-Taming Sect's Long-Feathered Cranes used for transportation within the sect. I'll pick the most beautiful one for you!"
Jun Wen glanced at Xing Wu sideways. Feng Xi is my, Jun Wen's Little Junior Sister!
On what grounds do you also call her Little Junior Sister?
What a thick face!
No, you simply have no face at all!
Xing Wu indeed selected the largest and brightest-feathered Long-Feathered Crane for Feng Xi, and attentively let Feng Xi sit on its back.
Then Xing Wu chose a skinny Long-Feathered Crane for Jun Wen, and it was even… bald!
Jun Wen's nose nearly twisted from anger!
But it wasn't convenient to flare up, so he could only glare fiercely at Xing Wu.
As the lead crane ridden by Hu Wankui took off, the other Long-Feathered Cranes followed closely behind.
Inside Feng Xi's divine sense, the little black ball's cheap-sounding voice rang out, "Master, I feel it's unfair for you!
This Long-Feathered Crane is a bird, and the little fat bird is also a bird. Why can't it serve as your mount?
Ultimately, it's because it's too useless!
Only because master, you, is kind would you keep it. Otherwise, no one would want something like it even if it was everywhere on the streets!"
The little fat bird blinked its mung-bean eyes and squeezed out a drop of tear, "Master, it's right. I'm really too useless!
I've wasted your love for me!
I'm sorry, wuwu…"
Feng Xi: "..."
One files a complaint, the other acts pitiful like a little white lotus!
What sin did I commit to accept these two damn things?!
However, the one who made the first move is shameless!
So she scolded the little black ball.
The little fat bird felt delighted inside. Hmph, want to fight with me? I'll scheme you to death!
After a quarter of an hour, the Long-Feathered Cranes landed at the platform of the main peak.
Hu Wankui accompanied Xiao Baidao to the main hall.
After exchanging pleasantries, Hu Wankui had a banquet set up.
Although many present had already abstained from food, the dishes at the banquet were all spirit food, greatly beneficial to cultivation.
This benefited from Beast-Taming Sect raising many spirit beasts, some of which were specifically for consumption and were also a major source of income for the sect.
The three from Xuantian Sect pretended to be reserved for a moment, then began to eat heartily.
Although Feng Xi had recently eaten plenty of seafood from the Endless Sea and demon beast meat from the Extreme Cold Ice Plains, the cooking skills of Xuantian Sect's chef simply couldn't compare with those of Beast-Taming Sect!
Look at these dishes, the color, aroma, and taste are all complete, extremely delicious!
After eating, Hu Wankui then got to the main topic.
"Normally, this batch of spirit beast eggs should have hatched half a month ago, but even now there's still been no movement.
If they were ordinary spirit beast eggs, it would be one thing, but this batch are all Earth-rank spirit beasts. If they are scrapped, the losses would be too great!
Old Xiao, I truly have no other ideas. That's why I invited your master and disciples over to help think of a solution."
In fact, Hu Wankui originally didn't intend for Feng Xi to come help. It was Xing Wu who proposed it.
"Master, Little Junior Sister Feng Xi learned the beast-taming incantation in just over an hour and successfully contracted the late Golden Core Stage Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear. What does that indicate?
It indicates that she has extremely strong talent in beast taming!
Perhaps she can find the reason why the spirit beast eggs cannot hatch."
Hu Wankui initially disagreed, but he couldn't withstand Xing Wu's constant chattering, and since there were indeed no other ideas, they could only treat a dead horse as if it was alive.
Actually, he had almost no hope in Feng Xi.
But since they're already here, they still had to go through the motions.
Thus, everyone arrived at Beast-Taming Sect's Incubation Hall.
Inside the Incubation Hall were several incubation caves. The lower the number, the higher the grade of the spirit beast eggs being incubated.
They now entered Incubation Cave No. 2.
As soon as they entered, Feng Xi felt rich spiritual qi.
Inside the cave were two rows of nests woven from special dried grass, and on each grass nest was placed one spirit beast egg.
Elder Jiao, who was responsible for Incubation Cave No. 2, said, "We have checked them one by one. These spirit beast eggs all have life aura, so they are not dead eggs.
Moreover, there were no abnormalities during the incubation process, yet they simply refused to hatch. It really worries people to death!"
Feng Xi asked, "What methods have you used?"
Elder Jiao sighed, "Spiritual qi catalyzation, summoning the mother beast, beast-attracting incense, and so on. Almost every method that could be used has been tried."
After hearing this, Feng Xi blinked and said, "Have you tried frying, stir-frying, boiling, or deep-frying?"
Elder Jiao: "..."
Everyone: "..."
