Chapter 2276: Chapter 1956: Taoyuan Five Monsters

After Huang Shiyun took the Healing Pills, she started channeling her energy for healing, and soon felt much better.

She opened her eyes and found Song Yun staring at her, which made her feel a bit embarrassed and her cheeks slightly reddened.

To mask the awkwardness, she quickly changed the topic, saying to Song Yun, "By the way, what is your name?"

Song Yun replied, "My name is Song Yun."

"Song Yun," Huang Shiyun repeated, scrutinizing Song Yun’s attire, and then asked, "You’re not from Taoyuan, are you?"

Song Yun did not hide anything, "I just entered Taoyuan today."

Upon receiving confirmation, Huang Shiyun asked curiously, "Without a Taohuayuan Token, how did you enter Taoyuan? Moreover, I heard from my father that the highest level of outsiders is only SSS, yet you’ve reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage?"

Song Yun responded, "To answer the first question, I made a Taohuayuan Token myself, thus I was able to enter; for the second question, the cultivation environment outside is much worse than Taoyuan, so practitioners’ levels are not high. I’m just an exception."

"It seems your talent is very high; otherwise, you wouldn’t have reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage under such poor conditions outside!"

Huang Shiyun nodded and asked, "I’ve never left Taoyuan, but I hear from those who’ve been outside that technology is very advanced out there; humanity has even reached the Moon now."

Song Yun said, "The living environment in Taoyuan should still be in a very primitive stage. Outside, in terms of technology, culture, education, and all other aspects, it’s far more advanced than here. However, Taoyuan’s greatest advantage is its good environment for cultivation. All those cultivating outside wish to come in."

Huang Shiyun chuckled bitterly, "Those inside wish to go out, and those outside wish to come in."

"Who would disagree?"

Song Yun sighed and suddenly remembered his five disciples who had left Taoyuan and thus described their images and names to Huang Shiyun, hoping she might know something about them.

Unexpectedly, Huang Shiyun was greatly shocked, "You’re talking about the Taoyuan Five Monsters?"

Song Yun realized that those five disciples were quite famous within Taoyuan. He asked Huang Shiyun, "So they’re called the Taoyuan Five Monsters? Are they a group?"

Huang Shiyun’s expression turned serious, "Each of them has reached the Core Formation Realm, making them renowned masters within Taoyuan, collectively known as the Taoyuan Five Monsters. They have peculiar personalities, are unpredictable, and as a result, everyone avoids them."

Song Yun asked, "Do they harm others?"

"Not at all." Huang Shiyun shook her head, "But they frequently engage in odd activities, like playing tricks on people or helping them, yet always mess things up. In short, they’ve caused quite a stir within Taoyuan."

"Moreover, if anyone offends them, they unite against the offender, so even the top masters in Taoyuan don’t want to provoke them. Because to offend one is to offend all five Core Formation Realm practitioners."

"Of course, behind their backs, other Core Formation Realm practitioners call them lunatics, unwilling to associate with them and somewhat look down on them."

Listening to Huang Shiyun, Song Yun got a grasp of the Taoyuan Five Monsters.

Simply put, these five disciples are unruly but don’t commit heinous acts; they’re just five peculiar people.

Huang Shiyun continued, "The Taoyuan Five Monsters often cause trouble. Although not to the extent of killing, they’ve given the forces within Taoyuan a lot of headaches. Later, to avoid having trouble fall on them, a total of ten Jiedan Practitioners from all the forces in Taoyuan intervened, trying to make the Taoyuan Five Monsters sign an agreement."

"The Taoyuan Five Monsters, being carefree by nature, were obviously unwilling to sign an agreement restricting them. So, both sides clashed, and although the Taoyuan Five Monsters were individually skilled, they lost due to being outnumbered and had to agree to sign in the end."

"The content of the agreement is simple: the Taoyuan Five Monsters can only live in the wild areas of Taoyuan, and are not allowed to enter markets, towns, or any place with a lot of people. Otherwise, violating the agreement means they must commit seppuku!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yun frowned, "These terms are too harsh, and besides, the Taoyuan Five Monsters didn’t do anything really bad, so why should they listen to them."

Huang Shiyun said, "Although the Taoyuan Five Monsters are crazy, they keep their promises. Since then, they haven’t appeared in markets or towns; many people haven’t seen them, and some even think they’re dead. Yet, unexpectedly, you actually met them."

Song Yun finally understood why the Taoyuan Five Monsters wanted to leave Taoyuan. Being driven to live in the wild, their playful nature couldn’t endure such solitude, so naturally, they wanted to leave Taoyuan.

Thinking about it this way, Song Yun found the Taoyuan Five Monsters rather pitiful.

But given their carefree demeanor, perhaps they hadn’t thought that deeply about it.

Suddenly, Song Yun recalled what Huang Shiyun had just said, feeling a stir in his heart, thinking to himself, "Of course, since the Taoyuan Five Monsters keep their promises, then them accepting me as their master means they truly regard me as their teacher."

With that thought, Song Yun felt secretly delighted.

His luck was remarkably good; barely entering Taoyuan, he had taken on five Core Formation Realm disciples.

Having these five disciples was incredibly impressive.

But it’s best to keep this matter confidential, because announcing it might not be believed by anyone.

Seeing Song Yun deep in thought, Huang Shiyun asked, "You met the Taoyuan Five Monsters, what exactly happened? Did they do anything to you?"
