The red glow in the dead mouses eyes dissipated, and one of the crows that had been pecking at the mouse suddenly let out a mournful cry, spreading its wings as its originally black eyes turned red, scaring away the other crows. The crow that had eaten the mouses heart flew up a short distance before thudding to the ground, where it was surrounded by a dark aura.

  The crows cry was like "ah-ah-ah", which sounded somewhat out of tune at this time, as if a persons mournful cry made ones hair stand on end. The black wings struggled in the dark air, and it merged with part of the mouse demon and fox demons powers within a short period of time. Then, through the crows body full of evil energy, it merged into a new monster.

  Suddenly, with a loud bang, the black crow exploded, and from a pile of rotten meat, a small, all-black mouse crawled out.

  The mouse had red eyes, like flowing blood. He let out a dazed moan from his mouth: "So hungry... Im so hungry... eat... find her..."

  After crawling for a distance, he suddenly stretched his whole body, blinked and turned into a crow, spread his wings and flew over the treetops, disappearing at the edge of the sky dyed red by the sunset.

  ……

  "Alright, lets place this Lingyu Pearl here and this small array will be complete." The leading senior brother of the Guiyi Sect stood up and pointed to the formation under their feet, explaining to Bai Xiang: "Sister, look at this. This array was created by our sects elder. There are forty-nine such arrays in total, and besides this one, other fellow disciples have placed them in various locations. These small arrays connect with each other, forming a large array that will envelop Lüyáng and the surrounding area."

  "The recent plague in Lüyáng is actually caused by a rift that has opened, allowing the evil energy from the Yāo Mó Jiān to spill out and infecting people living nearby with foul air. Even the polluted objects in that area can easily turn into malevolent spirits. For now, we cannot close the rift, so we can only temporarily block the airflow inside to prevent it from spreading further, and then ask a fellow Daoist skilled in purifying and healing to come and rescue the people."

  "Alright, our mission is complete, we can head back now."

  Having settled the matter of the formation, everyone prepared to set off back to their sect.

  The senior brother hesitated and said: "Actually, we are just ordinary disciples and havent learned how to fly with swords yet, so..."

  Bai Ling: "Great, I like down-to-earth people!"

  Along the way, someone guided the way, and Bai Ling finally successfully arrived at the Guiyi Xianzong. It was indeed a sect located in the mountains, with a large area, surrounded by mountains, and behind the scattered buildings, there was a large lake, shining with sparkling waves under the sunlight.

  Bai Ling: Theres also a large area for bathing over there!

  Old Turtle: "Little Master!"

  "Silence."

  Old Turtle: "Sigh."

  Bai Lings entry into the Gui Yi Xian Zong was unusually smooth, and it is unknown how those seven disciples reported back. Bai Ling almost caused a sensation in the Gui Yi Xian Zong, from the Sect Master at the top to the miscellaneous servants at the bottom, all rushed to the square to watch.

  "Its actually the Dragon Clan, its been many years since the Dragon Clan has appeared in the world!" "I dont know if Ill have the chance to see the true form of the Dragon Clan in the future. Ive heard that worshiping the Dragon Clan can change ones luck, and Ive been having a bit of bad luck lately, so why dont we give it a try?" "Ive heard that all adult dragons can control the clouds and rain, I wonder if this one is an adult? Controlling the clouds and rain is just too cool!"

  The sect master was moved to tears, looking at Bai Ling with an expression as if he had been struck by a fortune from heaven. "Come, come, come, take a look and decide which mountain peak you want to join. I heard that youre very interested in the You Fu Mountain. If you join our main peaks direct lineage, there will be a great opportunity for you to enter the You Fu Mountain and broaden your horizons."

  The other mountain peaks leaders squeezed him out, each tongue shining like a lotus flower. "Little White, you see that you and our peak are the most suitable, we all specialize in flying swords and soaring through the sky, when you join us Ill let your senior brothers and sisters accompany you to play while flying, its very delightful~"

  "No, no, our peak is more suitable for us. We cultivate water-based magic, we can fly without a sword, and we also know cloud-driving techniques. If we become direct disciples, we can learn it!"

  "Scram, scram, dont scare people like that! Bai Ling, think about our Peak of Unity, its the highest peak in the entire Guiyi Sect, and we can see all the surrounding mountains..."

  Seem like a group of black-faced van drivers and small hotel owners who solicit customers at train stations.

  Bai Lings scalp was exploding, why did they all want to fly? Dont any of you cultivators have a down-to-earth approach to cultivation?

  She said firmly: "I choose not to learn swordsmanship, not to learn cloud-driving, and not to live on a mountain."

  Finally, under her persistence, she was led away by a two-meter-tall, red-haired giant in the regretful gaze of the lord and other peak lords.

  "Choosing me as your master, you really have good eyesight. I am Chi Yan Xian Ren, previously in charge of forging weapons and artifacts in the immortal court. Now, in the Gui Yi Xian Zong, I am the owner of Lie Yan Valley. Our valley is different from other peaks, with fewer people, but no one dares to provoke us. You can rest assured that once you enter my sect, your master and senior brothers will protect you, and no one will dare to bully you!"

  Chi Yans voice was like a loud bell, his words were like thunder, and the muscles on his body were like rocks. The half sleeve of his arm revealed flame spirit patterns.

  Lie Yan Valley is the branch with the fewest disciples in Gui Yi Xian Zong. Besides Master Chi Yan, there are six senior brothers. One of them, Shui Er, was as tall and sturdy as Master Chi Yan, a robust man who looked like a small mountain. Standing together, they could block out the sun. Compared to these senior brothers, Bai Sis head only reached their waist.

  Bai Ling, surrounded by six senior brothers in the middle, looked like a poor little thing that had mistakenly entered a monsters den. Bai Ling glared at her senior brothers, and for a moment, she even felt a bit embarrassed, wondering if this new master of hers had some special preference for this body type? The apprentices were all the same model, XXXXL size.

  A fiery slap, like a red flame, pushed the bear disciples away one by one, pointing at Bai Ling: "From now on, this is your little junior sister. For the first time, Lianhuo Valley has a female disciple. You all have to take good care of her. This kid is different from us, still a young dragon cub. I want you to be good senior brothers, dont have any evil thoughts, and dont bully her, did you hear me?!"

  "Yes, Master!" all the fellow disciples chorused.

  Like the Yellow River Grand Choir

  Chi Yan nodded in satisfaction and said to Bai Ling, "Our Flame Valley is a place where divine weapons are forged. Although its called forging, dont underestimate this matter. This is also a kind of cultivation. We cultivate divine weapons, and divine weapons also cultivate us. In this world, every place is a place for cultivation. Come, let Master and the senior brothers take you around to have a look."

  Bai Ling followed a group of strong masters and brothers to visit the Lianhuo Valley, where they saw magnificent furnaces and thousands of red-hot swords in the lava pool. The flowing magma from the underground made the temperature of that area rise significantly. After seeing everything, Bai Ling understood that she would follow her master to learn ironwork in the future.

  Hitting iron is fine, as long as she doesnt fly away, everything is good. Its better to say that this violent feeling makes her a bit eager to try, very interested.

  Perceiving her thoughts, Old Turtle almost burst into tears. He was a little afraid that his beautiful young master would become like this group of big men in the future. In the transmission, he let out a miserable shout, "Young Master, dont!"

  "No, I think ironing is fine."

  After looking around the valley, Chi Yan said: "Good disciple, you just arrived at our place, Master will give you a weapon, what do you want?"

  "What weapon?" Bai Ling began to think. Several senior brothers saw her hesitate and came forward to show her their weapons, "Little sister, look, big brother uses a large knife, this knife weighs over 100 kilograms, made from the fallen stone of the sun."

  "Sister, look at this, Im using a nail rake. Dont be fooled by its appearance, its very powerful!"

  Bai Ling: Using nail rake, youre indeed Second Master.

  "Shi Mei looks at San Shi Xiong like this: huge sword, every time he walks out with it on his back, the girls all stare and admire him, very popular."

  Finally, the last senior brother took out a huge weapon that looked like a shovel. "Junior sister, look at this shovel, it was made by our master, not only is it fierce when fighting, but also very convenient and practical for digging ore in daily life. Master has another smaller one there, which must be suitable for junior sister!"

  Bai Ling looked at that golden big shovel, the corner of her mouth twitching, "Choose a shovel, Ill choose a hammer too!"

  Chi Yan burst out laughing, "Good, youre indeed the little kid Ive taken a liking to! You have guts and charisma. You say we use hammers? Well, it just so happens that our master has a pair of Mountain Splitting Hammers that were forged using many precious materials. This time, Ill give them to you!"

  Bai Ling hadnt spoken yet, but the six senior brothers had already begun to wildly flatter her, clapping their hands and shouting in approval. "Sister is mighty! Sister is awesome! Sister is particularly suitable for being a drummer!" "Sister is indeed from the Dragon Clan, truly extraordinary!" "Sister is a hero of our time! Brother admires you!" The six peoples flattery was as loud as a concert at Tiananmen Square.

  With just a slight delay, the master who was as swift as thunder and lightning had already taken out the pair of hammers. "Take a look at these hammers, one is forged from heavy yin stone, the other from heavy yang stone, they are perfectly matched and possess the ability to break through yin and yang. With just one strike of this hammer, it can shatter a mountain, ordinary immortals wouldnt dare confront it head-on... And this glove, its made from the skin of a fierce beast that Ive been saving for years..."

  Bai Ling suddenly felt that this pair of hammers wasnt bad either. She reached out and took the hammers, feeling her two arms sink, the two hammers thudding against the ground, causing the earth to shake slightly.

  Bai Ling: "......Alright, thats bold enough, I like it!" She gritted her teeth and picked up the hammer.

  Chi Yans eyes gleamed with delight, "Not bad, this hammer weighs three hundred catties, heavier than the weapons of your senior brothers. As a dragon clan member, youre naturally stronger, and in the future, your strength will only increase. Later, Master will re-forge it for you, making it weigh one thousand or even ten thousand catties! At that time, with this hammer, ordinary demons and small fairies will be crushed to death with just one strike!"

  The crowd of masters cooperated again, and with a loud shout, they praised Bai Ling to the point where she was overjoyed. On the spot, she performed a hammer swing, but accidentally swung one of the hammers into the mountain wall, deeply embedding it inside.

  "Wow! Sister is awesome! Sister, come again!"

  At this time, the original male protagonist, Xuan Cang Shang Shen, who was far away in You Fuyu Mountain, did not know that his female apprentice, who originally belonged to him, had abandoned her journey due to acrophobia and unfamiliarity with the road, and instead went to Gui Yi Xian Zong to learn blacksmithing. The original soft and cute apprentice, who used silver bells and colored ribbons as weapons, now held a large hammer and walked towards another path of strength that could lift cauldrons.

  Bai Ling settled down in the Gui Yi Xian Zong, she still quite liked Lie Yan Valley, her master and several senior brothers were not too bad to her, especially her master Chi Yan, if she didnt know that her own father was the White Dragon Tribes tribe leader, she would have suspected that this master was actually her long-lost father.

  Because he was worried that she wouldnt like the fiery environment of Lava Valley, the master specially opened up a new residence for her in a warm and lush area behind the mountain. Also because she was a young dragon who liked to play with water, he directly created a lake near her residence - he dug through the water veins in that area and forcibly created a lake.

  Since she came to this world, she has been a lonely dragon. Bai Xiang was being doted on by her elders for the first time, and she couldnt help but feel a little moved in her heart. However, at the same time, she also felt some doubts in her heart, so she asked directly.

  "Master, why are you so good to me? There must be another reason, right?"

  Chi Yan was taken aback, then burst out laughing, "Little dragon, youre really a straightforward kid."

  "Its actually... nothing much, many years ago when I was expelled from the Xian Ting, I received a very severe punishment and almost lost my soul. At that time, a woman saved me, she was a member of the White Dragon Tribe. We spent several years together, mutually admiring each other, just before our wedding day, she said the White Dragon Tribe was in danger and had to go help her tribe, afterwards... she never came back. Not long after, I heard that the White Dragon Tribe was exterminated, and there were no more white dragons in the world."

  "Now that I see you, I feel a bit relieved. It seems the White Dragon tribe still has people left. Youre her tribesman, if she were still here, she would definitely take care of you like this." Chi Yan gently patted her head, and on his rough face, a gentle expression appeared.
