In the northeastern forest of the Magical Beast Mountain Range,
The Amethyst Winged Lion King carried a sack of fruit to the wine-making pool. At his master's request, he had slowly learned the wine-making process, spending most of his time brewing peach blossom wine for his master, aside from Cultivating.
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King naturally followed closely behind his father, also carrying a large sack on his back.
His father said that if he worked hard, he would receive a reward from his master, thus obtaining a Transformation Pill and transforming into a human form sooner.
Therefore, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was particularly energetic when doing work on weekdays.
Xiao Yi Xian, having received the true teachings of her Master, sat upright in the bamboo pavilion reading and learning. "It's truly interesting that 'A book holds a house of gold.' Master has actually stored so many long-lost books; it's astonishing."
"Uncle, aren't you going to read?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King turned around, curled his lip, and said, "We don't have the patience you humans have. Even Cultivating feels difficult, let alone reading."
Xiao Yi Xian rested her right hand on her chin, smiled, and continued looking at the records in the book. The autobiography written by her Master, in particular, was profoundly beneficial.
In just a few days, she felt as if she was about to Break through, which was much faster than the feeling she got from consuming poison pill.
Space tore, and Jiang Cheng stepped out.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King ran over, cupped his hands in greeting, "Master, you've returned."
"Master." Xiao Yi Xian also put down the book in her hand and bowed.
Jiang Cheng nodded, then saw the autobiography on the table. "This autobiography was just something I wrote casually; it doesn't help much with cultivation. I will personally write one for you when I have the chance."
"Really~"
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and she thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Master."
"Relax. Since you are Cultivating here, I naturally won't treat you unfairly."
Jiang Cheng patted Xiao Yi Xian's head, then stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the continuous green mountains and waters stretching for ten thousand miles. "Reading ten thousand scrolls culminates in becoming a Saint. This is what scholars across the world pursue and yearn for."
"In the future, you must diligently Cultivate and strive to Break through to the Dou Huang Realm. I will supply you with the necessary poison pill according to the ratio."
"Mhm, mhm, thank you, Master. I, Xiao Yi Xian, will definitely not fail Master in this lifetime!"
Xiao Yi Xian bowed with cupped hands, her eyes showing utmost respect.
Jiang Cheng's finger moved slightly, and a jar of wine slowly flew over.
Xiao Yi Xian thoughtfully poured the wine into the cup for her Master, standing obediently behind him, awaiting his instructions.
Jiang Cheng pointed at the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King and said, "Hey, don't use your feet! Your Master doesn't like peach blossom wine that has been stomped on by feet."
"Ah..." The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King quickly retracted the claw he had stuck into the peaches, awkwardly licking the moisture off it. During the time Master was away, he had been stomping them with his feet... Could it be that Master preferred maiden's feet?
The Amethyst Winged Lion King grabbed a stick and smashed it down. As the saying goes, a filial son comes from beneath the rod; hitting is affection, scolding is love; without hitting or scolding, no one loves you.
Jiang Cheng smiled inwardly. Having lived alone for ten years, now that the Amethyst Winged Lion King father and son, as well as Xiao Yi Xian, were here, his lonely days were finally over.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the task assigned by the System. Rewarding ten experience points.]
[Current experience points 13/100]
A mechanical voice rang out in his mind, causing Jiang Cheng to stumble. Is this thing lagged? A whole day passed after the task was completed before it finally reacted... Jiang Cheng looked at the experience points in the System, feeling helpless. Breaking through to Two-Star Dou Sheng was truly extremely difficult.
No wonder the scarcity of Dou Sheng Experts is comparable to Heaven And Earth Treasure and Heavenly Flames. Countless Heavenly Chosen have been stuck at every Realm. This is why Experts are so scarce on the Fighting Qi Continent today.
Especially Dou Sheng Experts, who are as rare as Phoenix feathers and Dragon scales. Every Dou Sheng in any major power is treated like a precious jewel, worshipped for a thousand years.
It is also the Realm that all Experts yearn for, but wanting to Break through to Dou Sheng is easier said than done. Some people can never touch its threshold in their entire lives, eventually dying when their lifespan runs out.
Jiang Cheng fanned the folding fan in his hand, turned sideways, and asked, "Xiao Yi Xian, have you ever regretted coming to Peach Forest Mountain?"
Since this place was nameless, Jiang Cheng named it after the Peach Forest.
"Master is joking. I have never regretted it. Although I have only lived here for a few days, I have never felt cared for before. I cherish this life, and I also like living with everyone. Uncle Huo is also very kind to me. I really like it here."
Xiao Yi Xian answered her Master's question sincerely. Being able to stay here and Cultivate was the happiest thing for her.
Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something more, a fierce look appeared on his face.
"How audacious! How dare someone cut down my peach trees!"
Jiang Cheng's angry roar also attracted the Amethyst Winged Lion King's gaze. Seeing his Master so angry, he frowned.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Someone is cutting down my peach blossom trees. Come, let's go take a look."
...Outside Peach Forest Mountain, several Dou Masters wearing unified uniforms were vigorously chopping down the peach trees in front of them.
Leading the group was a tall, large man with a fat head and big ears. The fat man was covered in rolls of fat, appearing to weigh over three hundred jin. When he walked, the entire ground trembled.
The fat man was holding a seductive and charming woman in his arms. The woman said in a sweet, affected voice, "Third Regiment Leader, I just love eating peaches! The peaches here are big and soft; they must be delicious."
Hearing this, the fat man's body trembled fiercely, nearly losing control of himself, but he still lewdly lifted Madam Lan's chin and said, "No matter how delicious the peaches are, how could they compare to you, haha!"
"Oh, you naughty boy." Madam Lan said shyly, "You eat it every night, and you still haven't had enough?"
"Hehe, not enough, never enough." He Meng laughed lewdly, ignoring his subordinates and kissing her directly.
That's right, this person was He Meng, the Third Regiment Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner!
He Meng and Madam Lan were originally looking for a Snow Fox, but they unexpectedly stumbled upon a Peach Grove along the way. Since the peaches were large and round, they decided to cut down a few trees to taste them.
"The Third Regiment Leader is really something. He's coupling like the Dragon and Phoenix over there, while we're doing hard, thankless work here. Isn't that a bit too much bullying?"
"Shh!" Another person quickly made a gesture and said timidly, "Are you tired of living? How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid the Third Regiment Leader will hear you and rip off your little brother to use as medicinal ingredients?"
"Go ahead and take it. It's useless anyway, so he can have it."
This mercenary was clearly upset and spoke in a fit of pique. But just as he was thinking of saying something more, he felt something warm gush out of his neck. Confused, he reached up to wipe it away, only to find a patch of crimson red.
