Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Spiritual Vulture Peak

Qin Feng felt extremely uncomfortable under the gaze of that young girl, so he quickened his pace until he turned a corner at a tranquil bamboo grove, only then did he feel the watchful eyes behind him disappear.

Creation Peak exuded a spiritual aura everywhere, with beautiful scenery around; however, there were very few people on this peak. They rarely took in disciples, only accepting those who passed the Illusion Array test and reached their platform during the annual entry of new disciples.

Therefore, each year at most they would take in three to five people. In years with fewer, it was possible that no one might pass the Illusion Array and reach their platform for several consecutive years. At such times, Creation Peak was unconcerned and would not take in a single disciple for several years, making the vast Creation Peak seem almost deserted.

Fortunately, the young girl who had given directions to Qin Feng earlier was a bit strange, but the path she pointed out had no issues, and soon at the end of the narrow path, he saw a serene valley.

At the mouth of the valley, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was happily feeding a deer some common Spirit Fruits.

Noticing someone approaching from behind, the deer immediately jumped behind the girl, watching Qin Feng with a pair of moist and gentle eyes.

The girl stood up and looked at Qin Feng, asking, “Senior Brother, what brings you here?”

“Junior Sister, please.”

Qin Feng hurriedly replied, “I’m looking for Qin Xi; she’s my cousin.”

The girl nodded, and pointed toward a small building built near a few ancient trees, “There, that’s where Sister Qin Xi lives.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Junior Sister.”

After thanking her, Qin Feng walked toward the small building.

After arriving at the door and gently knocking a few times, after a moment, Qin Xi came out, and upon seeing him, she couldn’t help but smile, “I thought you weren’t coming today. Why are you so late?”

“I went to the market to deal with some matters concerning the things I carry.”

Qin Feng spoke as he handed her a small bag, “This is the income from those Demon Beasts on the tower ship.”

Qin Xi took it and glanced inside, her eyebrows slightly furrowing, “This is too much. Those were just ordinary Demon Beasts, how could they be worth so many Spirit Stones?”

While speaking, she handed the bag back, “You don’t need to share it with me. The Storage Bag and the Middle-Grade Magic Artifact Willow Leaf Saber you gave me earlier are already worth more than these ordinary beasts. I don’t need these.”

She was not a greedy person. Qin Feng had already taken good care of her before, and she did not want to leave a bad impression on her younger cousin.

Qin Feng smiled casually, “Just accept it, Sister Xiaoxi. We’ve just entered the sect, whether it’s for personal cultivation or finding a suitable Spiritual Beast, we’ll need to use Spirit Stones. Besides the resources given by our family, Father also gave me quite a few things. I’m much wealthier than you, so don’t be too polite.” @@novelbin@@

“Alright then.”

Seeing him insist, Qin Xi no longer refused and stuffed the Spirit Stones into her Storage Bag, saying, “Shall we go to Spiritual Vulture Peak now? I need to find my Senior Sister to borrow a Flying Spirit Beast.”

“No need, I rented an Eagle at Spiritual Snake Peak, it’s enough to take us both there.”

Qin Feng waved his hand and directly released the Eagle, then asked, “Sister Xiaoxi, is there anything else you need to pack? If not, let’s go now.”

Qin Xi glanced at the Eagle, shook her head and said, “Nothing to pack, let’s go.”

The two jumped onto the back of the Eagle, which then flew them away.

They flew for over an hour before they finally arrived near Spiritual Vulture Peak.

Having reached their destination, they expertly maneuvered the Eagle to the ground.

Because, unlike Spiritual Snake Peak and Creation Peak, Spiritual Vulture Peak houses large flying creatures—the spiritual vultures—and not just creatures like the spiritual snakes that predominantly occupy the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. Even if there were many on the ground, they wouldn’t dominate the skies.

However, above Spiritual Vulture Peak, various fierce spiritual vultures could be seen flying around; their presence visibly frightened the eagle they rode upon arriving here.

Fortunately, those spiritual vultures did not attack them without reason, but merely flew around them out of curiosity for a few rounds.

After landing, the two headed towards Spiritual Vulture Peak.

They knew that Outer Disciples typically resided at the foot of the mountain. Only those who had advanced to Foundation Establishment were permitted to live higher up the mountain on better spirit veins.

As for the summit, that was where Golden Core Cultivators opened their cave mansions.

After asking around, they quickly found Qin Ying who was busy in a nest.

At that moment, Qin Ying was carefully tending to several young spiritual vultures that hadn’t yet grown full feathers. Seeing a fellow sect member leading two young men in, and upon hearing they were his kin, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly spoke, “Please wait here a moment while I finish taking care of these little ones, then I’ll come with you.”

Qin Feng smiled, saying, “Take your time, Uncle Ying, we’ll just watch here.”

“Alright.”

A flash of cold light shone from Qin Ying’s hand, and he swiftly sliced a large chunk of tender meat into strips. While carefully feeding the young spiritual vultures, he explained, “These spiritual vultures were specially requested by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. They have decent bloodlines and cannot be neglected. They must be well-cultivated. If not for them, I would have waited at my residence for you.”

Shortly after the young spiritual vultures had eaten, Qin Ying’s hands lit up with spirit light, and using the secret techniques of Spiritual Vulture Peak, he gently stroked the chicks, coaxing them to sleep before finally standing up and leading Qin Feng and his companion out of the nest towards his courtyard.

On the way, Qin Ying seemed extremely excited. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen anyone from his family since Qin Long had left the Sect to return to their family.

Upon reaching the courtyard, he brought out all his finest treasures to entertain the two.

“Back when your father was still in the sect, he did quite well at Tiger Roar Peak. After a decade of cultivation, he reached Foundation Establishment. His lifebound spiritual beast was also extremely powerful. Unfortunately, he later faced danger. Otherwise, with his cultivation progress, he might have been able to reach Golden Core and enter the Inner Sect.”

Qin Ying looked at Qin Feng, unable to suppress a few sighs. “I’m not as talented; my cultivation progress is slow. If it weren’t for the two clan members from your parents’ generation who joined the sect and died tragically, I would have feared that without anyone to look after this generation in the sect, I would have returned to the family.

Ah, when one grows old, they yearn for the leaves to return to their roots.”

Seeing his graying temples, Qin Feng and Qin Xi felt a bit of melancholy but still encouraged, “Uncle Ying, you are just in your fifties, not old at all. Maybe with a few more years of hard work, you could succeed in Foundation Establishment and bring great aid to the family.”

“Haha…”

Qin Ying laughed, saying, “Foundation Establishment is not that easy. In the Beast Taming Sect, there are hundreds of thousands of Outer Disciples, but only around ten thousand manage to reach Foundation Establishment. That’s only one in several dozen disciples.

I’m old, my vitality is declining, and I don’t have the same drive as in my youth. I think I’ll stay in the sect for a few more years to look after you two. Once your cultivation is on the right path, I’ll return to the family and retire in peace.

Ah, it’s been so many years since I’ve been back; I wonder what the family looks like now.”

At that, Qin Feng and Qin Xi briefly updated Qin Ying on the family’s affairs over the years. In truth, not much had happened, primarily because Qin Ying had been away for so long and was particularly eager for news of home.

However, when Qin Xi mentioned that the family’s age-old adversaries, the Huang Family, had suffered a severe loss due to a mysterious great thief breaking in and stealing from them, Qin Ying couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Good, good, good, those Huang Family folks. When I was young and went with the family to hunt demon beasts, I almost fell victim to their schemes and almost lost my life to the demon beasts they lured.

And this time, I don’t know which cultivator did it, but they even made off with the Huang Family’s inherited Artifact Refining Furnace.

Haha, I wonder how many years it will take them to save up enough to buy another Spiritual Artifact Level refining furnace.”

Qin Feng stood by, joining in the laughter without a word.

What could he say?

Surely not that he had sent the Swallowing Sky Toad to play the role of a gigantic toad thief, plundering the Huang Family Great Elder’s possessions.
