But the two of them didn't feel discouraged at all. Both excitedly held the small cooling arrays they had just engraved, planning to take them down the mountain tonight to try them out at home.
Meanwhile, as Lin Xiao and the others were still practicing engraving arrays in the Array Hall, inside the thatched shed at the entrance of the mountain path, the wings of Little Luan, who was fast asleep on a straw mat, suddenly twitched twice.
Not long after, it gradually woke up.
When it opened its small eyes, its gaze was filled with deep confusion.
It seemed to have had a very long dream.
It forgot what the dream was about, but it felt that this sleep was incredibly comfortable.
However, it vaguely remembered learning some things in the dream, though it forgot the exact details.
Turning its head, it saw its three disciples still lying on the ground. Still groggy from sleep, Little Luan couldn't immediately recall why they were lying there. After trying hard to remember, it finally recalled that these three guys were imitating humans sleeping.
Three lazy little chickens, still not up even when their master had already woken up!
Little Luan was very angry. It immediately got up and walked toward them.
It didn't notice that its body seemed to have grown a size larger.
It wasn't until it stretched out its little chicken claw to kick them that it realized its claw was almost twice as large as its disciples' heads.
Looking at its originally cute little chicken claw that had turned into a not-so-cute big chicken claw, it froze for a moment.
It tried bending its spread-out claws.
It was definitely its own claw.
But how did it become so much bigger than its disciples' heads just by taking a nap?
Little Luan looked at its large claw, afraid of hurting its disciples with a kick, so it used its wing to push them instead.
It first nudged the disciple closest to it.
To its surprise, with this gentle push, the disciple's entire stiff body was pushed so hard that its head turned.
Seeing Disciple One completely stiff and stone-cold, Little Luan was terrified.
It hurriedly ran to the side of Disciple One's head, gently pushed open its eyelids with its wingtip, pried open its beak, and lowered its head to listen to its heartbeat.
Its chest was completely silent.
Confirmed dead.
Little Luan sat on the ground as if it had lost its soul.
How did its disciple just die like that...
Seeing the other two disciples lying on the ground nearby, Little Luan quickly ran over to check on them one by one.
Disciple Two was also gone.
But when it checked Disciple Three, it found that it was still alive.
Moreover, its heartbeat was strong and steady, sounding very healthy.
Little Luan was very happy, but thinking about losing two obedient disciples overnight, it felt very sad again.
After thinking about it, its little chicken brain still couldn't figure out how the two of them had died.
So it could only sigh that these two little disciples had too poor a constitution, losing their lives just by sleeping on the ground.
It dug a very large and deep pit beside the thatched shed and buried their bodies inside.
After filling in the soil, it also imitated humans and observed a moment of silence in front of their grave.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck."
I hope we are destined to be master and disciple again in our next lives.
After the moment of silence, it trotted into the thatched shed and squatted in front of its only remaining disciple.
Only this one disciple was left!
It must be valued and cherished!
Oh right, humans all need names. Should it also give its precious disciple a name?
What would be a good name... Little Luan turned its small head and looked around.
It saw the large peach tree outside.
How about calling it Da Tao.
Da Tao, Da Tao. Hmm, the name it chose sounded really nice!
Little Luan squatted next to Da Tao with great satisfaction, looking at its now only disciple with a kind expression.
When Da Tao wakes up, it would tell it its new name!
It would definitely be very moved.
While waiting, Little Luan felt a bit bored, so it ran to the spirit field to eat bugs.
Upon arriving at the spirit field, it found that there were actually many, many dead bug corpses here!
Excited, Little Luan flapped its wings twice and happily ran toward this massive food paradise for a delicious meal.
Little Luan, fully satisfied, let out a burp. Seeing that there were still many bugs on the ground, it thought for a moment and carried a few back to the shed in its beak.
Then it came back, picked up a few more, and returned, doing this over and over again.
It thought that this way, its precious disciple Da Tao would be able to eat a delicious feast as soon as it woke up.
Moreover, the enthusiastically running Little Luan noticed that its walking speed seemed much faster. Running back and forth like this, not only did it not feel tired, but it also felt like it had endless energy in its body!
Its large chicken claws clicked and clattered, moving incredibly fast.
Not long after, the bug corpses in front of the sleeping Da Tao piled up into a small mountain.
Today, due to the dark clouds covering the sky, it got dark very early.
Usually, when the sun just started setting in the west, the sky outside was already covered with dark clouds and looked gloomy.
Inside the Array Hall, after Jiang Youfu and Liu Yunan's spiritual power was completely drained, and Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que had recovered their spiritual power several times, Lin Xiao finally spoke:
"Let's stop our array engraving practice here for today. It will probably rain tonight, so remember to close your doors and windows."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the Array Hall.
Seeing this, the others reluctantly followed him out, still wanting to practice more.
Having just started learning the skill of arrays, everyone found it very novel and was highly motivated.
Mo Yuanjiao sighed:
"Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that activating the array disk also requires spiritual power, I would really want to stay in the Array Hall day and night without leaving."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao turned to him and said:
"Hurry up and cultivate. Once you reach the fifth or sixth level of Qi Condensation, you'll be able to independently engrave arrays."
"I will!" Mo Yuanjiao nodded vigorously.
Jiang Youfu, who was already at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, remained silent on the side, just taking a few roasted beans from his pouch and stuffing them into his mouth.
He wouldn't tell Mo Yuanjiao that he had just tried controlling the array disk and the carving knife at the same time, and his spiritual power drained so fast that he almost couldn't finish engraving that small cooling array.
Because Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que lived in the Guiyuan Mountain Residence, they only had to turn a corner to go back to their rooms to rest. Lin Xiao and the other two walked to the mountain path entrance, preparing to go down the mountain.
But when Lin Xiao turned his head and saw the thatched shed nearby, he remembered that he hadn't seen Little Luan all day, so he decided to go over and take a look.
However, just as he was about to use his divine sense to check if Little Luan and its disciples were in the shed, he unexpectedly discovered that the Little Luan inside was already at the fifth level of Spirit Opening?
Not only had its cultivation jumped from the second level to the fifth level of Spirit Opening all at once, but its body size had also grown a size larger.
Furthermore, next to Little Luan, there was actually a wild pheasant that was already at the first level of Spirit Opening.
But weren't there three wild pheasants always following behind Little Luan before? Why was there only Little Luan and one wild pheasant left in the entire shed now?
What happened here...
Lin Xiao suddenly thought of the demon core he had given Little Luan.
At that time, Senior Liao only said that it could be eaten by demonic beasts, but didn't explain it very clearly.
