It could enable the Incense Fire Dao to grow uninhibitedly here.

Clearly, these Incense-burning Dao Cultivators had grasped the intentions of the Elders of Tianmen Cult.

“What does the Sect Hierarch say?”

Lu Yuansheng asked curiously.

“The Sect Hierarch did not say anything, he only said to discuss after you come out.”

Bai Yu reported truthfully.

“Wait for me to come out…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuansheng was lost in thought for a moment.

Bai Yu did not dare to interrupt.

Lu Yuansheng quickly regained his senses and asked Bai Yu, “Is there anything else?”

“Yes, this is the good news. Not long before you came out, Cheng Shu bred a Class II, middle-grade Spirit Chicken. I took someone to check, the grade is not wrong, and it’s indeed bred from a Precious Chicken.”

Bai Yu respectfully reported.

Lu Yuansheng nodded slightly, his face not showing too much surprise.

Cheng Shu is a Foundation Establishment cultivator captured by the Tianmen Cult. He is from the Beasts Room of the East Saint Sect, and very adept at breeding Spirit Chickens.

It took him just a little over two years to breed several Class I, upper-grade Spirit Chickens, purchased from the Jiuling Sect, into Class I, top-grade Spirit Chickens.

And before he started his seclusion, Cheng Shu had successfully bred a Class II, lower-grade Spirit Chicken.

Now that he has come out after a three years retreat, the other party managed to breed a Class II, middle-grade Spirit Chicken. This progress was within Lu Yuansheng’s expectations.

Neither too surprising nor disappointing.

“And the others? How has their progress been?”

Lu Yuansheng asked casually.

“That’s exactly what 1 wanted to say. The rest of them, due to lack of experience, the fastest progress achieved is only with top-grade Spirit Chickens.”

“However… I wonder if Elder Lu still remembers a person named Wang Ba?”

Bai Yu hesitated.

“Wang Ba?”

“I certainly remember him.”

Upon hearing this name, Lu Yuansheng’s eyes narrowed.

He couldn t help thinking about that cultivator who surprisingly bred a top-grade Spirit Chicken and fulfilled his exacting requirements before his seclusion.

He left a deep impression on this cultivator who caught him off guard, making him hesitate whether he should break his promise.

“What’s the matter? Is there something wrong with him?”

“Not really. It’s just that not long ago, he bred a Class II lower-grade Spirit Chicken. Cheng Shu and I went to check it out. It’s indeed correct.”

“Class II lower-grade?”

“Are you sure it was really bred by him?”

For the first time, Lu Yuansheng’s handsome face showed a look of surprise. At first glance, Cheng Shu took two years to breed a Class II lower-grade Spirit Chicken from a Class 1 top-grade Spirit Chicken.

But Wang Ba took about three years, seemingly not as good as Cheng Shu. However, Cheng Shu is a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, with the help of spiritual sense, plenty of experience, and heritage. He is much more skillful at breeding Spirit Chickens.

And Wang Ba, if he remembers it right, should only be at Stage VIII of Qi Refining.

The disparity between them isn’t as simple as the difference in cultivation realms.

“This… I don’t dare to confirm completely, but logically, there shouldn’t be any other participants, right?”

Bai Yu also seemed uncertain.

But Lu Yuansheng shook his head slightly: “Then it should be him.”

He then wore a thoughtful look:

“I originally thought his previous success in breeding a Class I top-grade was only good luck. But now, it seems that he really has some prowess if he is able to breed a Class II lower-grade Spirit Chicken in such a short time.”

“Did he have any requests?”

Bai Yu was briefly stunned, then hurriedly replied:

“He gave me a list of materials needed to breed Spirit Chickens. However, the materials mentioned are somewhat expensive. I hesitated to agree, so I came over to get your decision.”

“Let me see.”

Lu Yuansheng took the list without ceremony.

Looking at it, he wrinkled his brows.

The materials noted here were not just expensive. Some of them were difficult even for average Golden Core Rogue Cultivators to gather.

Of course, for the Tianmen Cult, with its nature of looting and numerous treasures in its vault, it wouldn’t be a challenge.

But after consideration, Lu Yuansheng put away the list and said:

“Is there anything else? If not, you can go back first, i’ll give you a reply later.”

Bai Yu immediately took his leave.

In the empty hall, Lu Yuansheng held the list, contemplating. Then he sent a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Very soon, a figure appeared before him, bowing respectfully.

“Sinned cultivator Cheng Shu bows to Elder Lu.”

Lu Yuansheng smiled faintly: “Friend Cheng, there’s no need for that. We are old acquaintances from East Saint Sect, unlike others.”

“I dare not.”

Cheng Shu’s reverence increased.

Lu Yuansheng didn’t care much about this and handed the list in his hand to Cheng Shu.

“This list, I wonder if you can discern anything from it?”

Cheng Shu took the list, quickly skimmed it once and then scrutinized it again.

His eyes showed a hint of uncertainty:

“If this sinner did not read it wrong, this list seems to be related to the breeding of Spirit Beasts. However, the ‘Class III Immortal Jade Peach’, ‘Class II, lower-grade Spiritual Ghost Eel’, ‘Class III Formless Flower’, ‘Class II Jade Begonia’… these materials do not seem to align with the uses of other materials. But it might also be due to my lack of talent and shallow learning, unable to comprehend the deeper meaning.”

“So, you think this is a list of materials for the breeding of Spirit Beasts?”

Lu Yuansheng suddenly said.

“It should be, but I can’t guarantee it. Elder Lu, this is…”

After some hesitation, Cheng Shu finally asked.

A smile appeared on Lu Yuansheng’s face. He casually took back the list from

Cheng Shu’s hands and cheerfully said:

“Haha, it’s nothing. By the way, my official recognition ceremony is about to start. You can join and watch it..”
