Juan Wang couldn't stand such a waste of time and life! After seven days, Zhou Han finally couldn't take it anymore.
He stopped Tian Ning, who was about to go out to feed the Immortal Cranes: "Are you very idle?"
Everyone was staying in Zhou Han's courtyard. Every time Tian Ning came out of the side room, Zhou Han could see her.
He couldn't understand how someone could be so lazy at such a young age.
"Not idle, I have something to do." A nest of eggs in the Immortal Crane garden was about to hatch today, and Tian Ning wanted to take a look at the baby Immortal Cranes.
Newly hatched chicks are so fun, especially after the Beast Taming Sect Elders dry their feathers, they are all fluffy little darlings.
Zhou Han looked at her with an exasperated expression: "Come with me!"
Tian Ning: "?"
Tian Ning didn't quite understand what Zhou Han was thinking, but she still followed obediently.
After getting along these days, she also roughly knew what kind of person Zhou Han was. He had the majesty of a Chief Senior Disciple, and he seemed a bit aloof, but no matter the size of the matter within the sect, Zhou Han would always try his best to do it well. Whether it was fellow disciples or other sect disciples like Tian Ning, Zhou Han had the same attitude... equally disdainful of everyone.
Zhou Han took Tian Ning to the Beast Taming Sect's free arena.
It was similar to the Dueling Stage in Wanjian Sect. Disciples would privately compete here. Unlike Wanjian Sect, the rules of the Beast Taming Sect's arena competition were based on a defending champion system. As long as a disciple could win ten consecutive matches in one day and successfully defend, they could choose a rare Spirit Fruit that their Contract Spirit Beast liked as a reward.
This effectively encouraged everyone's enthusiasm, after all, buying rare Spirit Fruits outside required a lot of Spirit Stones.
When the two arrived, many disciples gathered beside the arena. This was a popular event in the Beast Taming Sect, never lacking participants.
Tian Ning thought Zhou Han was afraid she would be bored and brought her to watch the show. She was about to take out a stool.
Then Zhou Han pointed at the arena: "You, go up!"
Tian Ning: "..."
Zhou Han: "I've already greeted the Elders. You'll go against the new disciples' batch, and the reward will be given to you as usual if you win."
This wasn't about the reward at all.
If it were Long Family Members, Tian Ning could use talismans without any worries, but this was a friendly sect, and she couldn't be too harsh.
Tian Ning looked to the sky: "I suddenly remembered that the talismans I finished drawing yesterday haven't been dried yet..."
"As a Sword Cultivator, what are you doing with talismans all day?" Zhou Han couldn't help but say to the disciples near the arena: "Take turns having a friendly exchange with this junior sister from Wanjian Sect."
"It's Senior Brother Zhou! You actually took the time to come here!"
Zhou Han had a great reputation in the Beast Taming Sect. As the Master of the Fire Phoenix, he was a role model for his junior brothers and sisters, and his appearance immediately caused a commotion.
Especially the young man who had just won his opponent on the arena. When he saw Zhou Han, his eyes lit up instantly, and he approached like a devoted disciple: "Senior Brother Zhou! Senior Brother Zhou! I'll fight her!"
Zhou Han didn't know how Tian Ning's swordsmanship was, so he instructed: "Ye Nian, just have a friendly sparring session, stop when it's enough, don't hurt this Tian Ning junior sister."
Ye Nian immediately nodded.
"Junior Sister Tian Ning, please give me your best!"
Unable to refuse, Tian Ning could only go up and quickly finish the fight.
Seeing her on the stage, Zhou Han didn't rush to leave. He wanted to see how the swordsmanship of the person chosen by the Phoenix Lord was like. He presumed that since Tian Ning was able to enter Wanjian Sect, she naturally had her extraordinary skills.
However, Tian Ning didn't take out her sword as everyone expected.
After Ye Nian summoned his Spirit Beast, the Mingdiao, Tian Ning took out a stack of Extreme Speed Talismans, stuck them on herself, flew quickly behind Ye Nian, and pushed him hard, causing him to fall off the arena.
Tian Ning: "I won!"
Everyone: "..."
"That doesn't count! Again! How can you, a Sword Cultivator, use talismans!" Ye Nian never imagined that he would lose like this.
"Why doesn't it count? I drew these talismans myself, so I'm also a Talisman Cultivator." Tian Ning said: "Besides, you were distracted by Fellow Cultivator Zhou Han, which gave me the opportunity."
Ye Nian: "..."
He was a little excited and distracted because Senior Brother Zhou specifically came to watch the competition.
"Again, I want you to fight me with a sword!"
Tian Ning: "This isn't a restaurant; why are you ordering side dishes?"
She turned around and wanted to go back to her room to quietly read storybooks, not wanting to be caught by Zhou Han for another competition.
"Junior Sister Tian Ning, since you don't want to fight in the arena, why don't you go to the Spirit Beast Garden to help earn Spirit Stones?" Zhou Han stopped her, lecturing: "How can you be idle all day? As the saying goes, Heaven rewards diligence; cultivators should be more diligent!"
Tian Ning didn't want to listen to his nagging and resigned herself to working in the Spirit Beast Garden; at least there were cute Spirit Beasts there.
As it turned out...the Elder asked her to help clean up the Spirit Beasts' excrement.
Tian Ning silently cast a spell, causing the waste to float to the vegetable field behind the mountain, then ran back to her house as if a ghost was chasing her, without looking back!
Xuanjiu, seeing her like this, came over jokingly: "If you don't want Zhou Han to chase you for work, why not help me? I'll tell Zhou Han that you're working for me."
Tian Ning felt that he was up to no good: "Tell me first."
"Well, I've been in the Eastern Continent for a long time, and I've been missing the mung bean sprouts from my hometown. Why don't you go to the Central Continent to participate in the Alchemy Competition held there in a few days? The prize includes a basket of mung bean sprouts!" Mentioning food, Xuanjiu became visibly excited.
Tian Ning poured cold water on him: "You said it's going to be held in a few days, but traveling from the Eastern Continent to the Central Continent doesn't take just a few days."
Although she didn't know the exact time, since they were two continents, it certainly wouldn't be short.
After all, it took four days to travel by flying ship from Wanjian Sect to Beast Taming Sect.
Xuanjiu's green eyes looked at Tian Ning: "Don't you have the Demon Sword? Wouldn't it be... uh!"
Before Xuanjiu finished speaking, Tian Ning immediately covered his mouth!
"How did you know?!"
Sect Leader Xiao said that the Demon Sword should not be easily taken out. If the new Demon Venerable knew that she had made a contract with the Demon Sword, they would probably chase her to the ends of the earth!
"And using the Demon Sword will produce Demonic Qi. Do you want the Beast Taming Sect to arrest me as a Demonic Cultivator?" Tian Ning felt that this method was unreliable: "Why aren't you speaking? What kind of bad idea is this?"
She looked at Xuanjiu...
Oh, she almost forgot his mouth was covered.
She quickly let go of Xuanjiu.
Xuanjiu's beautiful eyes widened: "What kind of superhuman strength is that? I couldn't break free!"
Tian Ning: "Innate Divine Strength, I've had it since I was young, I'm proud of myself, what? Do you have an opinion?"
Xuanjiu: "..."
"I am the Black Tortoise. I can perceive the qi of all things more directly. I saw that you have the Demon Sword long ago." Xuanjiu filtered out the previous topic. He was confident: "Feel free to use the Demon Sword; I can completely hide the Demonic Qi. Unless Heavenly Dao comes, even Crossing Tribulation Stage cultivators won't detect it."
Tian Ning was dubious: "Is that reliable?"
"Of course, how could I gamble with mung bean sprouts." Xuanjiu was sincere: "Haven't you noticed that even in the Beast Taming Sect, the Phoenix Lord hasn't discovered my presence? Little girl, the abilities of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts are much stronger than you imagine!"
"
