Chapter 20: Spirit Beast Wild Boar 🐗

The desolate mountain was an ownerless peak within the jurisdiction of Tianxuan Sect. Because no one lived there, many wild demonic beasts roamed freely in the area.

These demonic beasts were mostly not very powerful, but they were enough to test the newly recruited disciples.

The disciples were randomly teleported to the desolate mountain, and their task was to find a demonic beast, kill it, and then come back down from the mountain.

As for Ye Xiyun, he was teleported into a cave.

"Elder, Sect Master, this kid might be at a disadvantage this time," the Third Elder said with a furrowed brow as he looked at Ye Xiyun's location in the Qingyun Ancient Mirror.

"Isn't this considered cheating?" the Fifth Elder couldn't help but say.

"This..." Yunxiao Zhenren raised an eyebrow and looked at the scene in the mirror. "The teleportation array sends people randomly. His ability to arrive here is just his luck. As cultivators, sometimes luck is even more important than strength."

"This..." Hearing Yunxiao Zhenren's words, the elders fell silent.

"Never mind, let's see what this kid will do," Yunxiao Zhenren said, but his eyes suddenly revealed a hint of surprise. "He actually let go of such a good opportunity?"

Hearing Yunxiao Zhenren's words, everyone turned their gaze back to the Qingyun Ancient Mirror and was once again surprised.

It turned out that after Ye Xiyun was teleported, he ended up in a cave, and this cave was none other than the lair of a low-grade demonic beast.

And this low-grade demonic beast was a wild boar that had just given birth to seven piglets!

"Demonic beast?" Upon arriving in the cave, Ye Xiyun smelled a foul odor. After his senses gradually recovered, he saw a plump and sturdy long-haired wild boar lying in the cave, looking at him with a ferocious gaze, as if ready to fight to the death.

The demonic energy emanating from the wild boar indicated that it was a genuine demonic beast.

Facing a demonic beast in a one-on-one fight, even if Ye Xiyun was at the Second Meridian of the Meridian Opening Realm, he would not be able to defeat it without a powerful martial technique.

Moreover, in the mountains and forests, one pig, two bears, and three tigers, wild boars were not to be trifled with.

Did he end up here just to die?

Ye Xiyun felt flustered, but he soon noticed something strange.

Although the demonic beast had a fierce gaze, it had not made a move yet. Moreover, its aura seemed unsteady.

Ye Xiyun's gaze swept around the cave and noticed some bloodstains.

Is this demonic beast injured?

Ye Xiyun narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the long spear.

A healthy low-grade demonic beast was impossible for him to defeat, but this one seemed to be seriously injured, pretending to be ferocious?

There's a saying, "Misfortune leans on good fortune, and good fortune hides misfortune."

This seemed like a desperate situation, but it turned out to be a great opportunity.

If he were to kill this demonic beast with one strike... wouldn't the trial be over for him?

Although this might not get him an SSS-level reward for bypassing the bug, it could still be considered the quickest way to pass, right?

Just as Ye Xiyun was about to strike and kill the wild boar in front of him, a faint squeaking sound came from under the wild boar.

In the dim cave, Ye Xiyun's gaze slowly moved to the belly of the wild boar. He saw the wild boar shifting its body, secretly hiding one of the baby piglets that had been revealed.

The baby piglet had not been completely hidden and was still showing a little butt and a small tail.

"Eh? It’s not injured due to a fight? It's injured from giving birth?" Ye Xiyun looked at the wild boar in front of him with some astonishment.

The wild boar still stared at Ye Xiyun fiercely, with a determined fierceness in its eyes.

Under the wild boar, one of the newborn piglets, which had already opened its eyes a few days ago, was squeaking and rolling out from under its mother, carefree and trying to squeeze back in.

"Phew..."

After gazing at the wild boar for a long time, Ye Xiyun retracted the spear in his hand and slowly backed out of the cave.

"Kid, you're letting go of a low-grade demonic beast right in front of you?" The voice of Hua Zhongxian sounded inside Ye Xiyun.

"*Sigh* Sister Spirit, I apologize, but I won't kill this demonic beast!" Ye Xiyun said.

"Are you sure? With your current cultivation, it's almost impossible to kill a low-grade demonic beast," the fairy said. "Unless you find someone to cooperate with. With its core easily in hand, you can enter Tianxuan Sect."

"What are you talking about? Didn't you see that it just gave birth?" Ye Xiyun rolled his eyes and said, "Am I just killing one? I'm killing an entire litter!"

"Your soft-heartedness is not suitable for survival in the cultivation world. Don't you know that you'll die if you hesitate?" the fairy said.

"Die? If I'm backed up to a corner and have no option left to choose, I might do it, but I’m not," Ye Xiyun said. "If I kill anyone who blocks my way, why would I join Tianxuan Sect? Wouldn't I be more suitable for joining a Demon Sect instead?"

"Ooooohh, Not bad kid, not bad." The fairy's voice carried a hint of a smile. "However, if you spare it, it might not live much longer."

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiyun asked.

"The boar has lost its vitality!" The fairy, being a small encyclopedia on cultivators, could determine the situation of this low-grade demonic beast with just a casual glance.

"Demonic beasts have robust constitutions. After giving birth, they can immediately bounce back and be active. It's impossible for this wild boar to be so weak. This situation can only mean one thing: it gave birth to offspring with bloodline improvement!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiyun asked again.

"In the process of bearing offspring, if the demonic beast accidentally ingests special spirit herbs and activates the demonic beast bloodline inside it, and if the demonic beast mother does not absorb this bloodline, the offspring will undergo a bloodline reversion," the fairy explained. "This wild boar is only a low-grade demonic beast. Its current weakness indicates that at least one of its offspring underwent a bloodline reversion. The birth of this offspring absorbed most of its vitality, causing it to become so weak. Now, in this cave, it hasn't eaten or replenished itself for days, and it also needs to feed its offspring. In a few days, this wild boar will probably perish."

Ye Xiyun's voice carried some sighs.
