The Spirit Beasts of Beast Taming Mountain came from many sources. Some were transferred from its various branches, some were bred and raised in-house, while others were captured from the Wilderness Forest.
Whenever Loose Cultivators or Cultivator Clans encountered a rare and unusual Spirit Beast, their first instinct was to capture it and sell it to Beast Taming Mountain.
The White Ape before Fang Qingyuan was one such case. It wasn't a Spirit Beast native to the Beast Taming Sect; the previous dean had purchased it from another sect.
When the White Ape was first bought, it was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage. Seeing that its fur was pale and unlike that of an ordinary ape, Dean Jiang suspected it was a mutated species and bought it on a whim.
The White Ape later proved its worth by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, due to its difficult personality, not many disciples were willing to rent it.
