Chapter 22
The little creature followed the shell and lay on the bed.
But at this moment, it displayed tenacious vitality, wriggling its body and actually crawling up.
Though somewhat unsteady, it moved towards Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the little guy, his pale face full of gentleness, and lifted his hand to hold the Cloud Spirit Sparrow in his palm.
Despite having just hatched, the creature wasn’t small; it almost filled his hands.
Since it had not yet grown its feathers, it felt chubby to the touch.
After arriving in his palm, it became very quiet, clearly enjoying his scent.
At this time, Zhou Bin also couldn’t help but come over.
Even though he often dealt with monsters, facing a newly hatched little creature like this, he lost all resistance, his gaze showing nothing but fondness.
“Xiaobai, I’ve heard that once Cloud Spirit Sparrows grow up, they are very beautiful!”
Zhou Bin spoke, “In our sect, many female disciples keep them as pets... uh...”
He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly feeling something was amiss, and quickly explained: “Xiaobai, I didn’t mean anything else!”
“It’s okay!”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled.
Huang Lin Yuan had clarified with him that this was a pet beast.
Since it was a pet, it was naturally loved by women.@@@@
However, Huang Lin Yuan had also told him that symbiotic beasts would change along with his changes.
And in many ways, he was quite similar to this Cloud Spirit Sparrow.
He had a good appearance, but was very weak, so while he looked forward to his own changes, he also hoped to change the Cloud Spirit Sparrow.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai really didn’t mind, Zhou Bin breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, in Cloud Sword Sect, the beasts raised by men were generally ferocious monsters; there were hardly any pets.
In a way, Jiang Xiaobai was setting a precedent.
“It’s a pity that Elder Huang hasn’t come back, otherwise I could ask him for another pill!”
Jiang Xiaobai remembered that Huang Lin Yuan promised to give him a pill for monsters to swallow after hatching.
However, before he finished speaking, Zhou Bin’s voice rang out: “Oh, Elder Huang has already returned!”
As he said this, he recounted his encounter with Huang Lin Yuan that morning.
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised, and then stood up to go find Elder Huang.
Zhou Bin nodded, watching Jiang Xiaobai leave with his hands tightened.
He felt endless humiliation for Jiang Xiaobai.
How could she, Xiao Shu Yun, do this?
Engaged yet choosing to become dao companions with someone else?
He had seen people who insulted others, but never to this extent!
How hateful!
Unbearably hateful!
While Zhou Bin was angry on Jiang Xiaobai’s behalf, Jiang Xiaobai was holding the Cloud Spirit Sparrow on his way to Huang Lin Yuan’s cave dwelling.
When standing in front of Huang Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, Jiang Xiaobai bowed: “Jiang Xiaobai pays respects to Master!”
“Hehe, this little guy is quite sensitive!”
With a smile, Huang Lin Yuan put the pill beside the Cloud Spirit Sparrow’s mouth.
The Cloud Spirit Sparrow opened its sharp beak and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
However, the pill was quite large; the Cloud Spirit Sparrow swallowed several times before it finally went down its throat into its stomach.
In just a few seconds, the Cloud Spirit Sparrow was enveloped in a blood-red glow, looking very magical.
“This pill will allow it to develop better!”
As Huang Lin Yuan spoke, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai, “By the way, I heard from Zhou Bin that a pill master was looking for you this morning?”
“Yes, her surname is Zhao!”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and was just about to explain when Huang Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Zhao Qinru, huh? I know her; that girl is not bad. Since that’s the case, you should establish a good relationship with her!”
“A good relationship will help you in the future!”
“Yes!”
In the middle of speaking, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression flashed with confusion.
Why did Huang Lin Yuan show no surprise or astonishment?
Perhaps noticing Jiang Xiaobai’s expression, Huang Lin Yuan said with a smile, “Alright, you may leave! If you have time, take the Cloud Spirit Sparrow for a walk in the beast nurturing area!”
“Let it absorb more demonic energy; if it encounters fierce ones, stay longer!”
Huang Lin Yuan said, “This way, the path of the Cloud Spirit Sparrow will become more clear in the future!”
“Yes!”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded again and looked at Huang Lin Yuan, “Then disciple will take his leave!”
“Oh, wait!”
As Huang Lin Yuan spoke, he gave Jiang Xiaobai three spiritual stones: “Hold them while cultivating, they will make your progress quicker!”
“Come find me after you break through the first layer, and I’ll take you to the sect for official disciple certification!”
“Does an official disciple need certification?”
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised upon hearing Huang Lin Yuan’s words.
“Of course!”
Huang Lin Yuan explained: “Although you are already an official disciple under me, your status as my disciple is not recognized by the entire Cloud Sword Sect!”
“But after your successful certification, it will be different. You will be free to move around the Cloud Sword Sect and also... enjoy the benefits brought by the sect!”
“For example, you can have your own treasure sword, or a storage bag and so on!”
“Really?”
Jiang Xiaobai was invigorated, once again looking forward to it, “Master, I will surely work hard at my cultivation!”
“Mhm, go then!”
Huang Lin Yuan nodded with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai bowed once more to Huang Lin Yuan and turned to leave.
Huang Lin Yuan watched Jiang Xiaobai’s departing figure with a heartfelt smile on his aged face.
Actually, he had initially disdained Jiang Xiaobai, the sickly youth.
But now, he had begun to take a liking to him.
To hatch a Cloud Spirit Sparrow in just about ten days was a terrifying talent.
