Chapter 69: First Test of the "Shepherding the Soul and Nourishing My Being Scripture"
The three people who entered quickly saw Xiao Fan standing in front of the bedroom and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Dad, Mom, Brother, you're back so early." Xiao Fan spoke first.
"......" After a moment of silence, his father explained, "We thought it was still early, and you've been working hard lately, so we didn't tell you."
"Then Brother's body is okay now, right?"
"Yes, we checked this morning, and even the doctor said he recovered quickly." His mother quickly said.
"After all, I'm a Body Cultivator." Xiao Ming smiled, then looked at Xiao Fan.
Facing Brother's gaze, he wasn't as flustered as he was last night.
"You're getting ready to go out."
"Yeah, I just woke up and plan to go out and move around, get some exercise."
The two brothers looked at each other for a while.
"Okay, then come back early," Xiao Ming smiled. "I'm getting discharged today, let's eat something good for lunch."
"Okay, Brother."
Their conversation sounded like there was nothing wrong.
Xiao Fan, who was eager to try the "Shepherding the Soul and Nourishing My Being Scripture", didn't think too much either. By saying that just now, he figured Brother would definitely think he was going to prepare for the third round of trials.
Just like that, he walked past the three of them and went out through the open door.
"Ah Ming..."
"Don't worry, Mom, we'll put our things down first, and then I'll follow and take a look." Xiao Ming comforted her. "I've got everything under control."
Hearing him say that, the two of them felt much more at ease.
Ah Ming is a Disciple of the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect. His Realm, knowledge, and so on are things they can't compare with.
After comforting his parents, Xiao Ming changed into an unremarkable gray outfit and went outside.
With a series of crackling sounds, his nearly two-meter-tall figure quickly shrank, reducing to about 1.67 meters in the blink of an eye, and his straight back became hunched.
His nose bridge lowered, his lips thickened, his skin became loose and saggy, and streaks of gray-black age spots appeared.
In less than a minute, Xiao Ming transformed from a tall, heroic young man into a frail little old man.
Because the clothes were a Sect uniform, they could automatically adapt to his figure, so they didn't become ill-fitting due to his transformation.
In his current appearance, even if he stood in front of Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan probably wouldn't recognize who he was.
"Xiao Fan..."
When they brushed past each other just now, he left a mark on Xiao Fan. With a slight perception, he could tell where he was.
He leaped directly down from the seventh floor.
Xiao Ming landed steadily beside three children who were roughhousing, looked only seven or eight years old, and were sparring with wooden swords.
The one with the highest Realm among the three little brats was only at Qi Training Layer One, and it was the kind of pseudo-Layer One who only had spiritual power but didn't know how to use it and hadn't deliberately tempered their physique.
They stopped what they were doing and looked at the little old man who had landed beside them.
Their expressions could be summarized as... me and my little friends are all dumbfounded.
"Grandpa, are you a Sword Cultivator?" The little brat with the Qi Training Layer One Realm, who was bolder, mustered the courage to ask.
"No." Xiao Ming smiled 'kindly'. "I am a Body Cultivator."
"Body Cultivator!"
"So this is a Body Cultivator!"
The other two little brats also exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Ming didn't say anything more, and with a light leap, he was far away again.
"Wow ah--!" After an exclamation, the little brat who had just mustered the courage to ask scratched his head. "Body Cultivators can't fly?"
"As expected, Sword Cultivators are cooler!"
"I heard my dad say that Body Cultivators are all stable hands!"
"It's 'Reckless' (reckless brute)!"
Xiao Ming, who had already walked quite far, paused. At his Realm, his hearing and sight were sharp; he could hear sounds from a great distance.
This damn world, when will Body Cultivators ever be able to stand tall!
Even such young brats are getting into the cultivator hierarchy of contempt.
............
By the street, an ordinary-looking figure with a gentle demeanor held a large handful of candies, distributing them to the children passing by.
"Thank you, uncle!" The polite ones would say this.
"Call me Brother, not uncle." He would also reply with a smile.
Soon, only one candy was left from the large handful, which he planned to keep for himself.
Peeling open the wrapper, the crystal-clear candy was like a beautiful gem, carrying a fruity fragrance.
He put the candy into his mouth, then closed his eyes, seemingly enjoying it.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the children playing nearby, revealing a slight smile.
"Yuan, you're really doing well..."
If not for being too wary, perhaps they could have become decent friends.
Then, he shifted his gaze and looked across the street.
The morning sunlight was bright, shining on the trees lining both sides of the street and casting patches of shade.
Under one patch of shade.
Xiao Fan was half-squatting, holding a small snack in one hand to feed a large gray rat, while his other hand was gently stroking the rat's head.
People passing by felt a chill seeing this scene. Is this guy out of his mind?
However, there were plenty of perverts among cultivators, so no one said anything.
'Stand up!'
Xiao Fan commanded in his mind.
The large gray rat immediately stood upright.
'Squat down!'
'Roll around!'
'Do a somersault!'
No matter what command Xiao Fan issued, the rat obediently followed.
But doing a somersault was still a bit difficult for it, so it just fell down.
But after getting back up, it started doing somersaults again, falling several times back and forth like this without any intention of stopping.
It really is completely obedient to commands?
Clink clink!
With two clear sounds, two spirit coins were seen rolling down beside him. Many people around looked towards him, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.
"Young man, don't make it do somersaults anymore, perform something else." Someone shouted.
It was precisely the person who had just thrown out the two spirit coins.
Xiao Fan: "..."
Seeing so many people surrounding him, he felt a bit disgusted, just like when he watched female streamers live before.
"Tsk! I was wondering why this young man was feeding a large rat, turns out he's a Beast Tamer!" Someone said.
Beast Tamer, a cultivator profession that once shone brightly, but is now almost extinct.
After all, even the demon race above Combined Dao is gone.
A profession with a peak Realm of Returning Void at most, and what's more, it's especially difficult to find contract demon beasts. Who would be so idle as to become a Beast Tamer?
So now, the inheritance is almost severed.
Xiao Fan also didn't expect to be mistaken for a Beast Tamer.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, ignoring these people, several more spirit coins of considerable value were thrown over.
"Do something nice to look at! I've never seen a Beast Tamer in my life!" The person speaking was wearing the Jishi Valley Sect uniform.
Jishi Valley - Alchemist - Rich person!
Erm...
After a while, Xiao Fan made a fortune with a rat that was as ordinary as could be.
This Alchemist is really rich!
In the end, the Alchemist from Jishi Valley even wanted to buy the Beast Tamer method from him, offering a quite tempting price.
If Xiao Fan really knew any Beast Tamer methods, he would have sold them!
Unfortunately, he didn't.
It's impossible for him to sell the "Shepherding the Soul and Nourishing My Being Scripture".
Moreover, even if he sold it... whether others could hear it or not is another matter!
Meanwhile, Xiao Ming, hidden in the dark, felt somewhat confused seeing this scene.
Could it be that Xiao Fan didn't come out to do anything bad, but to make money?
But when did he learn Beast Taming methods?
