Chapter 847: Chapter 124: Golden Feather Cloud-Stepping Eagle, Found You! (Part 2)

"Second Young Master is a cultivator who has condensed a Half-Step Golden Core. In the future, it will be no surprise if he becomes a True Monarch Nascent Soul. Since we’ve joined his ranks, as long as you earnestly work, there will definitely be a day when you soar to great heights!"

The Core Formation steward slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed,

"That’s right, once Second Young Master advances to Nascent Soul, they will be his most solid foundation!"

To this, Zhou Xun sneered,

Once that Second Young Master forms his Nascent Soul, of those present here, who knows how many will still survive; likely most of them will have already passed away.

Then, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain,

where a series of buildings stood with carved railings and painted beams, ornate eaves and intricate brackets, exuding grandeur.

Soon, under the guidance of ten Foundation Establishment stage stewards, they headed towards different areas,

finally arriving in front of a row of ordinary wooden houses, and slowly said:

"Here will be your residence in the future—three people to a courtyard!"

"As for you, Chen Ping’an," the steward smiled and continued,

"Courtyard Nine will be yours alone to reside in, and you’ll be assisting me in managing their daily affairs in the future!"

"Thank you, Steward Wu, for your guidance!" Zhou Xun nodded,

Being able to have an individual courtyard was convenient for him.

...

Time flew by, and soon a month had passed,

during which time the Second Young Master’s Core Formation Ceremony was successfully held,

In the banquet, Zhou Xun saw many from the Prince’s Mansion, among seventeen Nascent Soul cultivators, nine came,

but unfortunately, he did not get to see King Danyang!

Though, for a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator like King Danyang, even an Immortal Golden Core is insignificant.

During this period, Zhou Xun took the opportunity to learn about the entire Prince’s Mansion,

The Prince’s Mansion is no different from a large sect, except all resources and treasures belong solely to King Danyang,

while the other Nascent Soul cultivators are attached to King Danyang.

Additionally, regarding the "Golden Feather Cloud-Stepping Eagle," he obtained some useful information.

To the west of the Prince’s Mansion is a large Spirit Beast Garden, dedicated to rearing spirit beasts,

"If Su Yu’s intelligence is correct, that ’Golden Feather Cloud-Stepping Eagle’ must be here!"

With this thought, Zhou Xun decided to make a trip and inquire at the Spirit Beast Garden.

"Greetings, Steward Wu!"

Zhou Xun arrived at the steward’s courtyard,

"Ah, it’s Ping’an, do you need anything from me?" Seeing it was Zhou Xun, Steward Wu donned a friendly smile,

During this time, Zhou Xun had been of great help to him.

"Recently, our servant courtyard has no affairs, and I plan to take this opportunity to visit the library, thus I came to request leave from the steward and also to ask for a walking token!"

Prince’s Mansion rules state that disciple servants cannot roam across regions without orders.

"Are you looking for an opportunity to break through to Foundation Establishment?" Steward Wu giving a look of having guessed his thoughts.

"Not hiding from the steward, indeed for this matter; I am now at Peak Qi Refining and intending to consult several Foundation Establishment insights to seek a breakthrough!" Zhou Xun replied.

"Great, once you achieve Foundation Establishment, our Xin Courtyard will have two Foundation Establishment cultivators!" At that time, as the head of Xin Courtyard, naturally there will be rewards,

After considering for a while, he waved his hand and took out a jade scroll, handing it over:

"This is my realization while breaking through to Foundation Establishment back in the day; I present it to you now, hoping it assists you in some way!"

"This... Thank you steward, I am deeply grateful!" Zhou Xun was surprised at this, not expecting Steward Wu to be so considerate towards him,

Well, before leaving, I’ll offer him a fortune.

"Haha, it’s nothing. Here’s the walking token!" Saying so and with a wave of his hand, he handed over a dark green token, then advised:

"Return early!"

"Yes!"

With the token hanging on his waist, Zhou Xun walked out of Second Young Master’s field.

On the way, Zhou Xun kept a low profile and headed straight towards the Spirit Beast Garden.

...

The Spirit Beast Garden is located to the west of the Prince’s Mansion, occupying four or five mountain peaks,

Zhou Xun spent nearly an hour to arrive at the destination.

Upon entering the Spirit Beast Garden’s range, Zhou Xun immediately felt numerous demonic power auras, ranging from Tier One to Tier Three High Grade,

there was everything,

and deep within the Spirit Beast Garden, from a mountain peak, vaguely came an aura of Tier Four.

However, Zhou Xun did not delve deeply into exploration,

After all, places like this must have some sophisticated Restrictions, and if triggered, might even alert King Danyang.

"This Daoist, are you here to purchase or lease Spirit Beasts?"

At this moment, a young girl with a simple face came over and warmly inquired,

"Little Ling, he’s just a Servant Disciple, how could he afford any Spirit Beast? You’re wasting your time on him!" scoffed a slightly older woman beside her.

"It’s alright, Senior Sister. Even if he can’t afford it today, there will come a day he will!"

"Oh, I’m just looking!" Zhou Xun smiled, unexpectedly being looked down upon by a Female Cultivator at the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining.

"Looking is fine, too. What kind of Spirit Beast are you interested in? I can introduce them to you!" The young girl smiled slightly, her already round face look even fuller,

Zhou Xun initially wanted to dismiss her, but seeing her so enthusiastic, which was rare, he nodded his head.

"Thank you!"

As for the woman beside him, she left without looking back.

"How should I address this Daoist?"

"I am Chen Ping’an!"

"So it’s Daoist Chen, I am Gu Ling!" The girl bowed politely and then led Zhou Xun into the Beast Garden, pointing to the Spirit Beasts inside and began introducing them,

"This is the Spirit-Seeking Rat, with an extremely keen sense of Spiritual Qi. It’s an excellent choice for seeking spirits and treasure!"

"Our Prince’s Mansion once had a senior named Han, who, during the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, leased a Spirit-Seeking Rat and discovered a Spiritual Spring in a place where Spiritual Qi was scarce,"

"With this, he successfully opened up a Spirit Field Cave Mansion!"

"This is the Gale Eagle, a Tier One High-Grade Flying Spirit Beast, extremely fast, said to rival Foundation Establishment Cultivators in a short time,"

"This is..."

Then Zhou Xun followed the young girl and toured many places in the Spirit Beast Garden,

Just then, a commotion arose ahead,

A youth wearing a purple brocade robe, with a proud look, slowly walked towards the Beast Garden surrounded by a crowd,

"Who is this?" Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be curious.

"This is Steward Zheng of our Spirit Beast Garden!" The girl answered!

"Isn’t he at the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation? How can he serve as a Steward? I remember this position is exclusively for Core Formation Stage seniors!" Zhou Xun asked in surprise.

"Steward Zheng is skilled in preparing Spiritual Food. He has gained favor from a Demon Emperor in our Beast Garden, who specifically promoted him to Steward, responsible for the Demon Emperor’s meals and care!"

The girl replied,

"I see!" Zhou Xun nodded, a thought rising in his heart,

Looking at the purple-robed youth not far away, surrounded by people,

He snapped his fingers,

A strand of Powerful Qi flew out, inconspicuously brushing past the youth’s robe, then carried a piece of the robe back, landing in Zhou Xun’s palm,

which he stored in his Storage Bag.

"Thank you, Daoist Gu, for the introduction today. I will surely repay you in the future. Goodbye!"

Then Zhou Xun turned and left the Spirit Beast Garden,

Before heading back, he went to the Library to exchange for a few Foundation Establishment Insights before returning to his courtyard.

As night fell, Zhou Xun sat in his room,

Taking out that captured piece of robe,

Then he took out the "Small Divination Compass," applying the Divination Technique,

After a brief moment, a golden arrow appeared on the compass,

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly, formed a gesture with his hands, and pointed at himself, instantly becoming transparent,

Then his figure flashed, speeding towards the direction indicated by the arrow.

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived in front of an elegantly designed residence, covered by a semi-transparent blue light shield.

"Tier Three Low-Grade Array!"

Zhou Xun chuckled, lightly tapped a few times, a Spirit Light hit the shield, and Zhou Xun’s whole body slowly merged inside,

Appearing in the bedroom of the purple-robed youth,

Looking at the youth seated on a Cushion meditating, Zhou Xun smiled slightly, gently blew a breath, and the youth fainted,

Then his Divine Sense spread out, enveloping the person, then he applied the Soul-Searching Technique!

With his Divine Sense comparable to a Great Cultivator now, soul-searching a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could naturally be done without anyone noticing, and without causing any harm to the person being searched,

Soon, Zhou Xun lifted his head,

His eyes extremely bright,

"I did not expect such coincidence, the Demon Emperor who promoted you is the ’Golden Feather Cloud-Stepping Eagle’!"
