Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1909 - 1903: Little Tiger

The elders showered Liu Taoshi with a barrage of compliments.

Unimpressed, Liu Taoshi dismissively waved a hand, proceeding directly to select a Cultivation Technique from the available assortment.

This time, he intended to take a portion of them with him.

Due to the absence of disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage, the elders of Lion Tiger Mountain permitted Liu Taoshi to select only entry-level Cultivation Techniques.

The highest grade among them was merely of the lower Huang rank.

Liu Taoshi did not voice any objections.

Regardless of one's current Realm, the efficacy of a Cultivation Technique is contingent upon the practitioner's stage. Even if he were to acquire powerful techniques now, they would be of little use.

The selection of Cultivation Techniques consumed approximately half an hour.

During this period, the leader of the Lion Tiger Sect and Qin Feng found their attention repeatedly drawn to the small tiger at Chen Yang's feet, which resembled a kitten.

Both individuals felt an uncanny familiarity with the aura emanating from the creature but could not pinpoint its origin.

After some contemplation, they finally approached Chen Yang to inquire.

"Young friend Chen Yang, is this your spiritual beast?" the Lion Tiger Sect Leader kindly asked.

Chen Yang, who had been engrossed in the discourse between Liu Taoshi and the elders, only reacted upon hearing the voice.

"Sect Leader, this is not my spiritual beast; it is the guardian spirit beast of the Red Cloud lineage!" Chen Yang responded directly.

"Guardian spirit beast?" the Lion Tiger Sect Leader exclaimed with delight.

As the Sect Leader, he possessed extensive knowledge of Lion Tiger Mountain's history.

He was aware that, akin to their own sect, the Red Cloud lineage also had a guardian spirit beast.

"Hundreds of years ago, when the Red Cloud Cave Mansion fell, its guardian spirit beast also vanished. Could it be that this creature has resided within this ancient cave all along?" The Lion Tiger Sect Leader, needing no further explanation from Chen Yang, deduced the situation with a brief period of thought.

"It should be so; it feels incredibly familiar to me!" Qin Feng also chimed in.

The ancestors of Qin Feng's lineage shared a profound connection with the ancestors of this little tiger; such a bond was deeply ingrained in their very genes.

When descendants of these lineages encountered each other, a sense of familiarity would still be felt.

"Yes, Sect Leader, this little tiger has always resided within this cave," Chen Yang affirmed, corroborating the Lion Tiger Sect Leader's deduction.

"It appears my uncle's ascent is all but assured. Not only does he possess a feng shui treasure, but he has also obtained a legacy, and now he has secured a guardian spirit beast. The revival of Red Cloud is merely a matter of time." The Lion Tiger Sect Leader’s initial delight gave way to a more serene expression.

He observed that the ancestral genes within the little tiger were even more potent than those of Qin Feng.

Its future cultivation potential would undoubtedly rival Qin Feng's.

"Hehe, Xiao Li, naturally, and by then, your Lion Tiger Mountain will no longer hold the title of the number one Daoist sect under the heavens," Liu Taoshi remarked, overhearing the conversation and approaching with a grin.

"Very well, Uncle, have you finished selecting the Cultivation Techniques?" The Lion Tiger Sect Leader smiled faintly and did not pursue the matter further.

"They have all been selected."

Liu Taoshi nodded in confirmation.

"Then let us depart." The Lion Tiger Sect Leader made to exit the cave first.

There was nothing further requiring their attention within.

Liu Taoshi shared the sentiment, and the group departed the cave together.

Outside, the day was bright and clear.

The party emerged from the cave around noon.

Consequently, the Lion Tiger Sect Leader extended an invitation to Chen Yang and Liu Taoshi for a meal at Lion Tiger Mountain before their departure.

Liu Taoshi accepted the invitation, ascending the mountain with Chen Yang.

Although the Lion Tiger Sect Leader framed it as a mere lunch, his true intention was to engage in a substantive discussion with Liu Taoshi.

Following the meal, he escorted Liu Taoshi and Qin Feng to the main hall to deliberate on undisclosed matters.

Chen Yang and the little tiger were left behind in the main hall.

At this juncture, the elders of Lion Tiger Mountain had not yet departed, their curiosity piqued by the little tiger.

A cluster of elderly men, attired in Daoist robes and wielding feather dusters, surrounded the diminutive creature, meticulously examining and assessing it, creating a rather amusing tableau.

"Remarkable, I estimate this little one possesses a bloodline within three generations, indicating unlimited potential for future growth."

"Indeed, with such advantageous genes, even with mediocre development, its Realm will not be significantly low."

"In light of this, should our Lion Tiger Mountain not also focus on preserving such bloodlines, rather than allowing Elder Qin Feng to develop independently?"

...

The group of elders chuckled, continuing their research.

This intense scrutiny began to agitate the little tiger.

It bared its teeth, preparing to display its might.

However, its diminutive stature rendered any display of power comically perceived as mere cuteness.

Chen Yang, however, did not share this view.

He had personally witnessed the capabilities of this little creature; though small, it was genuinely within the Qi Cultivation Realm.

Should it unleash its fury, even the elders might find it difficult to manage.

"You should exercise caution; this little one is rather potent and could cause you trouble if agitated," Chen Yang offered a casual warning with a smile to the assembled elders.

Hmm?!

The elders exchanged doubtful glances upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, following this with hearty laughter.

"Chen Yang, my young friend, are your words meant as a rather dry jest? While its lineage is undoubtedly impressive, how could it possibly pose a threat to us when it's still but a juvenile?"

"Indeed, it will undoubtedly be remarkable once it matures, but for now, it is what it is."

The elders remained unconvinced that the small tiger before them possessed significant power.

They continued their playful interactions with it.

A few of the bolder ones even dared to stroke it, treating it as if it were a mere housecat.

The little tiger bared its teeth in a clear warning, yet this threat went unnoticed by the elders.

Roar!!

Unable to contain itself any longer, the little tiger suddenly let out a fierce roar, its potent aura radiating outwards in waves.

The elders were caught completely off guard by this sudden display.

One moment they were chuckling, and the next, they were all startled by the fierce aura that erupted from the little tiger.

Several elders, whose cultivation Realms were lower, even stumbled and fell to the ground in shock, appearing quite discomfited.

Pfft.

Chen Yang couldn't suppress a chuckle; the scene unfolding before him was simply too amusing.

However, the elders' faces were now flushed with embarrassment.

"Its... its Realm is truly not low; it's quite formidable," one elder stammered out awkwardly.

"I did mention it, but you chose not to believe me. It's angered now; you'd best keep your distance, as things could become dangerous," Chen Yang stated with a smile.

Moments ago, this group of elders had exuded confidence, but now, not a single one dared to refute Chen Yang's statement.

They all heeded Chen Yang's advice, cautiously retreating away from the little tiger, no longer daring to approach too closely.

By 2 PM, Liu Taoshi and the Lion Tiger Sect Leader, Qin Feng, emerged together from behind the main hall.

Their discussion remained unknown, but judging by their expressions, it seemed to have been a cordial exchange.

"Very well, Xiao Li, and Qin Feng, my young friend Chen Yang and I shall take our leave now. I will entrust these Cultivation Techniques to you for the time being; I shall retrieve them at a later date," Liu Taoshi announced with a cheerful demeanor.

"Uncle, please travel safely. We should maintain contact more frequently in the future," the Lion Tiger Sect Leader responded respectfully.

"Mmm, we are departing." Liu Taoshi nodded, then turned to Chen Yang, saying, "Chen Yang, my young friend, let us proceed."

"Alright,"

Chen Yang replied, and then, accompanied by the little tiger and Liu Taoshi, they departed from Lion Tiger Mountain.
