He Song hid the resentment in his eyes, and amidst the jeers of the other Disciples, he picked up his tools and entered the shed.
Not long after, a scream came from inside the Beast Pen. When He Song limped out, his clothes had several bloodstains from claws, and his face was disfigured with a bloody claw mark!
Ji Die naturally had no interest in these matters. He returned to his room and continued to consume the spirit-boosting fruit to improve his Cultivation.
At this moment, inside a pavilion, a Beast Pen Disciple was reporting the recent incident to Ma Lian Nan.
When he heard that He Song tried to use force to make Ji Die help him clean the cubicle, but was instead defeated by Ji Die, Ma Lian Nan was also a little surprised.
“To Breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Second Layer in such a short time, and even defeat He Song, this person can indeed be considered a Genius. It’s a pity he offended Senior Sister Song! His life won’t be long!”
Waving his hand to dismiss the Disciple, Ma Lian Nan closed his eyes and did not take the matter to heart.
In his eyes, Ji Die was already a useless person.
After all, the Yao Beast he arranged for Ji Die to take care of was notoriously violent, even its owner couldn't do anything about it.
When the day came to clean the cubicle, that kid would either die or be crippled.
It could also be considered an explanation to Senior Sister Song.
He just wasn’t sure what exactly was between Song Jia and Ji Die. But those below only needed to act according to the other party’s wishes.
If he could gain the other party’s favor, his Cultivation and status might even rise, and he might even enter the inner Sect!
Around noon the next day, Ji Die stood outside cubicle number eleven and poured a basket of fruits inside.
The black snake opened its eyes and looked at him, its huge head motionless, only its crimson tongue flicking out.
Ji Die knew what it was expecting. Seeing no one around, he took out a spirit-boosting fruit that he had upgraded with a copper furnace.
This time, the black snake’s vertical pupils stared intently, revealing longing. However, whether it was because Ji Die’s words from yesterday had an effect, or because it knew it couldn’t break free from the chains, it didn’t rush forward again.
“Not bad, it doesn’t have the urge to snatch anymore.” Ji Die was very satisfied with this effect and directly threw the fruit in.
Anyway, he had as many of these fruits as he wanted.
And the black snake, seeing the fruit rolling beside it, seemed to pause, then hesitated before moving its head closer and quickly swallowing it. Its crimson eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and it looked at him again.
Bang! Another fruit rolled beside it. It paused, then quickly swallowed it. The Cultivation within its body moved much closer to Qi Cultivation Stage 4.
“Remember, as long as you listen to me well, if I tell you to go east, you don’t go west, I can give you one of these fruits with every meal.”
The black snake seemed to understand his words, flicking its tongue, looking at the young man outside, its eyes showing human-like obedience.
Ji Die was very satisfied with this. After speaking, he turned and left the Beast Pen.
There were no Disciples outside the shed. Some were Cultivating in their own rooms, and others were not in the Beast Pen.
After all, besides feeding times, Disciples could manage their other time freely. Some Disciples wouldn’t stay in the Beast Pen during their free time.
“Speaking of which, I’ve been at Seven Mysteries Sect for so long, and I haven’t left here yet. I wonder what it’s like outside the Beast Pen.” Ji Die merely sighed, he didn’t want to go out and wander.
He was unfamiliar with the place, had no friends or acquaintances, so it was better to continue to Cultivate and Breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Stage 4 as soon as possible.
He picked some fruits in the garden and returned to his room.
On the way, he encountered He Song, who was limping, and had a bloody claw mark on his face. He must have been scratched by the demon wolf he was responsible for while cleaning the cubicle.
He Song also saw him, his eyes filled with malice.
The snow wolf he was responsible for had a rather violent temperament and disliked bathing, always resisting strongly.
Previously, when one person and one wolf had similar Cultivation levels, he could barely contend with it. Now that the beast had broken through to Lianqi Stage Three, it had truly made him suffer.
If it weren't for the fact that the beast had been tamed by the Sect and lost some of its wildness, he estimated he would have died.
“Are you saying your injuries aren’t severe enough?” Ji Die glanced at the resentment in his eyes and sneered.
“Don’t worry, you’ll soon follow in my footsteps, or even worse!” He Song sneered and limped away.
Ji Die was too lazy to bother with such an idiot. He went straight back to his room and, apart from feeding the snake, was basically always Cultivating.
According to the records in the ‘Tai Xuan Scripture’, to Breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Stage 4, spiritual power needs to form a stream.
As the name suggests, it means the spiritual power within the body reaches the level of a stream.
Currently, the spiritual power gained from one spirit-boosting fruit is already only half of what it was initially. Ji Die roughly calculated that for the spiritual power in his body to form a stream and Breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Stage 4, he would probably need to refine at least thirty more spirit-boosting fruits.
Of course, while improving his Cultivation, he also didn't forget to tame the black snake. Now, the black snake was becoming increasingly submissive to him.
In a flash, it was the seventh day since he arrived at the Beast Pen. Ji Die sat on the bed, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time, with his eyes closed, his aura continuously growing.
Over these two days, he had refined approximately twenty-eight spirit-boosting fruits.
The spiritual power within his body was very close to forming a stream.
Ji Die was still not satisfied. He consumed and refined fruits one by one, and the spiritual power within his body continuously increased, causing the spiritual power, which had already far exceeded the size of a small ditch, to continuously surge...
At this moment, inside the Beast Pen, the Disciples were all a bit confused not seeing Ji Die.
“Today seems to be the cleaning time for room eleven.”
“Where’s the new guy? Is he hiding out of fear?”
“Fear is normal, after all, that beast is at Qi Training stage 3 peak…”
“Shh, if the Yao Beast’s owner hears that, be careful, he’ll deal with you!”
Early in the morning, the Beast Pen Disciples who had finished feeding their respective Yao Beasts gathered together, discussing animatedly.
Since the Yao Beast in room eleven was too famous in the Beast Pen, everyone speculated that Ji Die was hiding out of fear.
Just then, Ma Lian Nan appeared in the Beast Pen. The surrounding Disciples immediately quieted down and bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Manager Wang.”
“Where is Ji Die?” Ma Lian Nan frowned faintly.
“Reporting to Manager Wang, that fellow is hiding in his room and dares not come out. He didn’t even feed the Yao Beast he’s responsible for this morning.” He Song began speaking in a Yin and Yang manner, filled with an unknown resentment towards Ji Die.
“Hmph, go call him out! What time is it, and he’s still in his room!” Ma Lian Nan snorted coldly, naturally aware of the animosity between the two, and immediately told him to call the person out.
“Understood!” He Song received the order and walked towards Ji Die’s residence with a joyful expression. Seeing the door locked from the inside, he pounded on it.
“Ji Die, get out!”
“Hiding is useless, the Manager is outside!”
Hearing the commotion, Ji Die inside the room kept his eyes tightly closed, ignoring it.
After completely refining the thirty-first spirit-boosting fruit, the spiritual power in his body, which had already reached the scale of a small stream, suddenly surged and churned on a large scale!
Continuously impacting the barrier of Qi Cultivation Stage 4!
“Break for me!” Ji Die’s eyes were bloodshot. Amidst He Song’s shouting outside the door, a sound of something breaking came from within his body…
With a rumble, the spiritual power within his body also became calm.
