Knock, knock, knock.

A series of footsteps approached.

Xu Guang entered from outside, carrying a bamboo basket and dragging a bear beast.

"Senior, Senior Sister, this is the prey I just caught. The conditions in the mountains are tough, so you both please make do with this."

Pausing for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he took out a jar of wine from the bamboo basket on his back.

"Senior, this is strong wine personally brewed by a friend from my sect. Would you like to try it?"

After saving Shen Muyu, seeing this little girl in the mountains, while he himself had utilized Jiufeng Mountain, he felt a bit guilty and waited together for the return of the Wine Daoist.

The Wine Daoist seemed amused.

"You're a smart person, I won't say more. This time, it indeed was thanks to you. What Yu Rong and that Tang Qiong planned, it's all yours, moreover…"

The Wine Daoist threw out a token, on which a jar of wine was crookedly drawn.

The artistry was on par with Xu Guang's level.

"This is my token in Jiufeng Mountain. If there are any matters in the future, you can seek help from Jiufeng Mountain."

"Of course, it's pointless if you're dead."

Xu Guang didn't mind, and happily accepted the token.

When the Wine Daoist mentioned the things Yu Rong promised him, he knew that man in black was spineless and had told everything to the Wine Daoist.

He also learned the name of that man in black, Tang Qiong.

Luckily, the Wine Daoist was generous and did not wish to take the Dragon Blood Meteorite and the Innate Meteorite hidden beneath.

Jiufeng Mountain indeed deserves its reputation as a renowned and righteous sect, they truly act magnanimously.

Xu Guang also knew this was largely due to saving Shen Muyu.

At this moment, he still thought he was quite impressive in rescuing the beauty, yet unbeknownst to him, he had already brushed past the gates of hell.

He still didn't quite understand the ways of these major sects.

However, neither the Wine Daoist nor Shen Muyu would mention the test on him, this was something Xu Guang had to comprehend himself later on.

Whether it was from drinking Xu Guang's wine or not, the Wine Daoist spoke again.

"Xu Guang, several forces around Songjiang Prefecture are now restless, and the future won't be peaceful. You should plan early. I'll leave a position for you at Jiufeng Mountain. If you wish to enter the sect, inherit our Jiufeng Mountain legacy, you must pass the assessment, but I will assist you."

This was quite a heavy promise.

Xu Guang cupped his hands, "Thank you, Senior."

The Wine Daoist waved his hand, "I will stay with Xiaoyu'Er at the Song Family in Songjiang Prefecture for a few days. If you make a decision, come to Songjiang Prefecture to find me."

He then pointed to a pile of things in front of him, "Since you killed Yu Rong, these things are yours."

Things related to Jiufeng Mountain's Martial Arts were taken away by him in Xu Guang's presence.

Xu Guang saw the Secret Technique for cultivating the sixth sense that Yu Rong mentioned, the "Yin Nan Pure Yang Celestial Sensing Secret Technique," thought for a moment, took it out, and handed it to Shen Muyu.

"Senior Sister Shen, Xu Mou is not talented and has no mentorship, with many doubts about Martial Dao. I will make a copy for you, and after you have read it, please provide some guidance in a reply."

Shen Muyu was clearly in a high position at Jiufeng Mountain, and although the Secret Technique for cultivating the sixth sense was precious, it was worth it to connect with the major sect of Jiufeng Mountain.

Shen Muyu's eyes lit up with excitement, she glanced at the Wine Daoist.

She looked at Xu Guang, then outside at General Wei.

The Wine Daoist was speechless, he understood Shen Muyu's mindset and agreed on her behalf, "Xiaoyu'Er, accept it. You're more than capable of guiding this lad."

But he also understood that Xu Guang had noticed Xiaoyu'Er's special status and just wanted to connect himself to someone powerful.

Never mind, let him be, after all, Xiaoyu'Er also wanted to ride an elephant.

Spending more than an hour, Xu Guang copied the Secret Technique and handed it to Shen Muyu.

Before they left,

Shen Muyu suddenly looked at the Azure Blue Sword in Xu Guang's hand and removed her own saber.

"Hall Master Xu, a heroic figure, but your sword is somewhat lacking."

"I dare not accept..."

"I don't like owing favors, this is my thank-you gift, and also, your life-saving grace, I will repay when you come to Jiufeng Mountain."

Together with the Long Sword, Shen Muyu's words were thrown out.

Xu Guang watched Shen Muyu's back, feeling some emotions; this little girl was quite proud.

Yet before leaving, she even painted such a rosy picture for him, she seemed very certain he would go to Jiufeng Mountain.

"This sword is called Buddha-slaying, do not dishonor it."

Buddha-slaying?

Xu Guang was a bit surprised. A little girl gave her saber such a name...

For a moment, the exquisitely-looking Long Sword felt somewhat hot in his hand.

Will the people of the Buddhist Sect cause me trouble because of this sword?

What kind of situation is this!

Does "do not dishonor" mean I should kill more monks?

...

The next day.

Xu Guang continued on an elephant.

He returned to the peculiar gray-white valley once more.

This time Xu Guang observed the environment of the valley more meticulously. There were very few animals and plants here.

But whether plant or animal, their sizes were a bit larger than those outside.

Even some animals had some mutated scales on their bodies.

'Feels a bit like a nuclear radiation zone.'

Xu Guang inwardly complained but did not stop the enthusiastic General Wei from charging towards the site of the Dragon Blood Meteorite.

He saw the thing and felt a headache, wondering how to let General Wei absorb the dragon blood inside?

He couldn't possibly let General Wei directly eat such a big rock, right?

Even if General Wei was willing, he wasn't.

Xu Guang dismounted from General Wei; the Celestial Register appeared in his palm, and one Suppression Object after another was cast down by him repeatedly.

The reason he observed the environment today was partly to set up a Feng Shui Array.

The blessing from the Celestial Register - Hosted Soldiers on the Buddha-slaying Sword, along with his Soft Sword, served as the primary Suppression Objects.

Using the Qiankun Small Array to form a magnetic field, he forced the dragon blood inside the meteorite to gather in one place, not knowing if it would work.

There was a look of expectation on Xu Guang's face.

General Wei was even more eager, long waiting impatiently.

As time passed second by second, Xu Guang could clearly see the cloud-sea-like things inside the purple-red giant rock gathering in one place.

Slowly, but always moving.

Xu Guang felt joy in his heart.

Finally, after three days.

With the effect of the Feng Shui Array, the dragon blood inside gathered in a stone about the size of a baby.

General Wei could no longer wait, swallowing that stone, almost turned into golden-red, without waiting for Xu Guang to speak.

Roar!

Xu Guang, ignoring the rebuke, constantly infused three Encouragements into General Wei's body.

Meanwhile, he nervously took out all of his Seventh-Grade Elixirs.

With a prolonged cry, General Wei's massive body couldn't help but tilt to the side, seeming extremely painful.

As it continued swallowing the Elixirs, it swallowed dozens of Seventh-Grade Elixirs in one breath.

Its entire body was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, breathing heavily like a cow, with wisps of white fog steaming off it.

And then…

In Xu Guang's shock, it suddenly rammed into that meteorite.

As the dragon blood inside the meteorite was swallowed by General Wei, the giant rock, like a block of tofu, was instantly shattered by the robust ivory tusks of General Wei. Waves of terrifying power gathered on General Wei.

Rumble!

With General Wei's full-body transformation, its aura continuously fluctuated and changed.

The terrifying heat accompanied its body, sprinkling over the valley.

The already heavy moisture of the valley, upon contact with this terrifying heat of Yang Qi, instantly condensed into raindrops.

Seeming to sense the heavens and earth, above the sky, thunder gathered.

In an instant, it was torrential rain.

But amidst the rain, General Wei's true transformation began!

The blue-gray keratinous elephant feet cracked inch by inch, revealing lava-like crimson hoof nails. Patterns of Kui Dragon ancient scripts appeared on the ivory, and the sound of metal and stone clashing came from the bones.

Wisps of black mist spouted from behind its ears, the slight turbidness in its eyes completely receded, turning into pure gold, like dragon pupils.

The scales on the elephant's skin began to explode, with a surge of putrid old blood constantly gushing out, blackened buds grew out of the burst open spots on the elephant skin, rapidly repairing the scars left on the skin.

The elephant's trunk gradually elongated, with the tip splitting into five petals, as agile as a human hand.

A dragon horn pierced the skin and grew from the middle of its forehead, sprouting two intricate coral-like small golden horns.

Xu Guang had stood in the rain all along, not caring that his whole body was drenched, nervously watching the changes happening to General Wei, occasionally casting another Encouragement, and making rounds in the mountains to bring back plants and vegetation in harmony with the Elixirs to create Elephant Cuisine.

He was truly concerned about General Wei, trying his best to ensure everything was handled well in terms of logistics.

Fighting he couldn't compare to General Wei, but cheering and encouraging, he excelled in.
