Aurora sat idley at the center of the mountain, turning his gaze towards the farm animals from time to time, "I am Aurora, the guardian beast of thi- Hey! Don't run away!"
Without finishing his sentence, he got up and ran towards a chicken that almost got out of the sanctuary, he grabbed the chicken using his mouth and dragged it far away.
"Where was I? Oh, I'm the guardian beast of this mountain, a spiritual beast- Argh! Don't you run away!" stomping his four paws, he ran towards the pig who plans to escape.
...
The ground shook and the two almost fell to the ground.
"Boss... I got a bad feeling here." said Levi, his feet feeling wobbly because of the sudden earthquake.
Apollo ignored him and continued onwards towards the farm. The reason he's bringing Levi and Elizabeth here is so that they could help him do chores like bringing ingredients.
The leaves rustled as they entered the sanctuary, what greeted them isn't the beautiful view Apollo was expecting, instead, it's Aurora running towards them with his fangs out, trying to chase a pig that plans to escape.
Levi immediately felt powerless, the aura Aurora gave out is so frightening that he dropped down to the ground.
Apollo adjusted his strength and kicked the pig so that it wouldn't die immediately, "Sit." Upon realizing that his owner is back, Aurora's frightening appearance turned to that of a dog.
Looking at Levi and Elizabeth who sat on the ground and scared sh*tless, Aurora walked towards them, sniffing their very soul to check if their friendly or not, 'Hmph, a mere Qi Condensation one, weak.'
Not only would a beast gain power when it starts cultivating, the higher its cultivation is, the higher its intelligence would be. Using his intelligence, Aurora couldn't help but criticize Levi.
Walking towards the shack, three of them sat down. Apollo poured them tea, with of course, the usual water from Atlas. It's still unknown where the 'water' came from though.
The tea's aroma slowly went into their two noses, with just the aroma, they are already in cloud nine.
The two sipped the tea and immediately, the tea's effect came, they felt calmness, they laid their backs on the comfy chair and was about to sleep when Apollo disturbed them, "This is where you get the ingredients."
The two nodded profusely, if they could get this tea as their salary, they would obediently follow all of his orders. What they didn't know is the tea itself. It is farmed by Atlas in a planet made solely for planting tea leaves. If it has a price, an immortal life wouldn't suffice.
An immortal, immortal life to be precise, could rule a number of worlds, the reason for this is because of their Qi, before a cultivator could ascend to being an immortal, one needs Qi so pure that it could heal small cuts.
Hollow Immortal is the rank where cultivators needs to purify their Qi. However, in some worlds, they can't even reach this realm because of their world being deprived with Qi.
The two who sat as if they're at home sitting in their sofa, they didn't even listen to Apollo, they just sat their with a cup in hand, slowly savoring the tea.
