Chapter 141 -111: The Trouble of Beast Taming Sect [Additional 8/9/10 for the Silver Alliance’s Chief 9999 Long Moon finished]_7
In every family with a martial artist, even those at the accessible level should be examined. For example, how many friends they have, what their professions are, who their backers are, where their mentor comes from, who their social connections are, and so on…
The couple intended to confirm these details one by one.
The so-called seasoned citizens of the martial world didn’t earn their title for nothing.
Knowing where one could hide nearby, where they could blend in, or the best place to remain unseen considering the changing sunlight throughout the day. Knowing which tree could offer the best help, if there were any threatening or poisonous plants, and so on…
All these things fall into their brains to be imprinted and retained.
This kind of experience and knowledge is something that the greenhorns in the martial world could only hope to get after decades of practical experience.
“The large courtyard next door?”
After thinking for a while, He Xiangming’s eyes lit up. “That’s a really good idea.”
If this plan could be achieved, not only would it be convenient and safe, but it would also be advantageous to be hidden in plain sight.
“Let’s settle on this then.”
Zhu Weiran had already planned to dig a tunnel to connect the two courtyards by night, including how to clean up afterward, how to keep the transition secret, making sure it’s convenient and spacious, prepared for any unexpected events, even an extra exit—it called to mind the saying about the hare having three burrows…
And Feng Yin also had his plan. He planned to plant a row of trees along the side of the courtyard wall to completely separate the two courtyards. At least visually, it could present a clear and distinct view.
No sooner said than done; He Xiangming started making arrangements right away. The funds for purchasing the courtyard next door were still provided by her. Furthermore, she not only bought the place next door but also bought the courtyard where Feng Yin was currently living, on his behalf, as a gift.
In this way, they could ensure maximum safety and peace of mind.
“We’ll use this place as the rear base for future high-grade pets in the heart of the city.”
A decision quickly turned into action, so He Xiangming soon took her leave.
“From now on, we’ll follow the new identity.” Hu Lengyue finally felt a sense of resolution.
“Stick to the aliases ‘Uncle Zhuang’ or ‘Aunt Zhuang’. If they insist on asking for names, tell them you’re either Zhuang Laosan or Zhuang San’er.”
“You’re absolutely right,” Zhu Weiran nodded in agreement.
Feng Yin unexpectedly felt secure, as though he suddenly had a home.
You must admit that the Chinese concept of homeownership is deeply rooted. No matter how many lives you live, it remains the same.
Regardless of how much time you’ve spent living somewhere, if the deed doesn’t bear your name, you won’t feel at ease.
As it were for Feng Yin, he always had this feeling of drifting.
But once the house is purchased and registered in your name, one feels relieved, as if you’ve dropped a stone to the ground.
Feng Yin hadn’t expected that he would bring this mindset from his previous life unconsciously into the new world.
…
Zhu Weiran and his wife began to clean up and purchase necessary items.
Meanwhile, with a quick turn of thought, Feng Yin handed the silver bills worth one hundred and sixty million liang to Zhu Weiran. “Uncle Zhuang, can you figure out a way to use this money to buy some Demon Beasts’ Spiritual Pearls or beast cores?”
“How many do we need? What grade?” asked Zhu Weiran.
“The more, the better. The higher the grade, the better.” Feng Yin replied.
As far as Feng Yin was concerned, with a great fortune of one hundred and sixty million liang, he should be able to purchase some high-grade Spiritual Pearls and beast cores, right?
“…”
Zhu Weiran was speechless.
While Kid Feng was a nice guy, and his medical expertise was advanced, his experiences and knowledge were a bit thin. Thinking that this bit of money was enough for high grades was laughable. You can’t even buy a ninth-grade Spiritual Pearl with it.
An eighth rank might be possible.
Moreover, who trades Spiritual Pearls for silver bills?
Yet, he didn’t object but nodded and put the silver bills in his bosom. He was already thinking about how to use the money best…
As for the Spiritual Pearls and beast cores, he would have to find another way, as money definitely won’t be enough!

Even if you could buy them with money, you shouldn’t… isn’t it more satisfying to obtain them with your own hands?
Then Feng Yin asked, “Uncle Zhuang, how can you and Aunt Zhuang recover from the Seven Yin Poison?”
“The venom of seven shades, a poison unsurpassed under heaven!”
Zhu Weiran’s complexion fell, saying, “Apart from extraordinary luck, there exists no possible cure.”
Feng Yin was taken aback, “That serious?”
“The venom of seven shades; the world’s deadliest… Back in the day, I could hardly believe the Ximen family actually used the venom of seven shades on a person of my stature… I was undeniably… flabbergasted.”
Zhu Weiran sighed deeply.
He felt that it was a waste for the Ximen family to use the venom of seven shades on someone of his level…
“We’ll have to figure out a solution in the future…”
Feng Yin took this matter to heart.
“Take these two elixir pellets, you and Aunt Zhuang keep them; use them if you can, and if not, keep them for self-defense.”
“Very well.”
Zhu Weiran, not standing on ceremony, took them directly.
Despite knowing in his heart that they were of no use, they were given by Feng Yin out of goodwill, and he could not refuse them.
The more one owes, the closer the relationship – a philosophy of the old jianghu, utterly different from the thinking of younger generation.
“Then, Uncle Zhuang and your wife will have to trouble you!”
Everyone split to go about their own affairs. Feng Yin, however, did not rush to deal with planting the tree. He turned his attention to the Demon Beast cubs that He Xiangming had sent over
part.
Wherever his eyes landed, the cubs were playfully scampering around on the ground.
Clearly, He Xiangming didn’t send the ones she promised yesterday, but chose another batch instead.
This batch of Demon Beast cubs consisted of two tigers, two foxes, two leopards, and a green wolf; and what Feng Yin found most perplexing was that the green wolf was only of the second rank.
In terms of rank alone, it was the lowest Feng Yin had ever encountered.
“What is Sister He up to this time? This train of thought… is simply unbeatable…”
“However, I don’t have to be as devoted to rearing them this time as I was with the little hawk and little falcon. The sadness of parting… is indeed too disheartening, experiencing it once was already too much.”
…
The vast, boundless world has been a stage for long-standing conflict between the races of humans and demons. The various major sects appear to live detached from the world. Even the imperial laws often fail to suppress them. But they, too, have their own troubles. Once trouble arises, it typically escalates to major trouble, which is not easily resolved.
Take the Beast Taming Sect, for instance. It’s currently facing an unprecedented, massive problem. In addition to enduring the attacks of Demon Beasts, repeated negotiations have been fruitless. The leaders of the opposing party, the Hawk King and Falcon King, have been utterly uncompromising, attracting increasing numbers of Demon Beasts to take part in the conflict, including even higher-ranking ones.
The Hawk King and Falcon King had the audacity to solicit the assistance of the Golden Winged Emperor from the demon race!
This move tipped the balance of power, with the Beast Taming Sect now under tremendous pressure and verging on collapse.
Realizing that resistance would only lead to worse results, the Beast Taming Sect chose to submit. They handed over all the young hawks and falcons, which were at the center of this dispute.
The Hawk King and Falcon King retrieved five little hawks and three little falcons but were still not satisfied.
“We are one short!”
“One short” here not only referred to one little hawk being missing, but also a little falcon, with one missing from each group.
But the two that were missing happened to be the weakest and most unhealthy among the hawk and falcon cubs, which according to custom had already been sold. Upon quick investigation by the high officials of the Beast Taming Sect, they traced the sale to He Xiangming in Yuezhou.
While the high-ranking members of the Beast Taming Sect, now certain of their information source, were feeling anxious, they also had a sense of relief. After all, given the records of the hawk and the falcon, they would not be easy to dispose of. Even if they had been sold, they assumed repurchasing them would not pose a problem.
They quickly sent a message, asking He Xiangming to send them back promptly to resolve this conflict.
He Xiangming had just returned to her place and settled in when she received the shocking news. She was nearly winded and passed out.
She had just sold the hawk and the falcon; where could she find it, and how could she afford to repurchase it?
She knew that the buyer was a direct disciple of Five Lakes Bright Moon, who had been escorted away last night as if he were a prized possession…
How could it possibly be returned now?
What should she do?
……
[Because there was a lot of exposition, I decided to cover it in a long chapter. Next, I will consider events in Yuezhou, and figure out where to start from.]
