"What? Senior, are you joking?" Looking at the old man who suddenly became so friendly, Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He really could not understand why the old man was so desperate to bring him into the sect and even promised him so many benefits after just one look at Little Moon.
In the world of cultivators, the sect master of a sect held the highest authority in the sect, and the disciple of the sect master had the highest status among the disciples.
If they could be selected as a direct disciple by the sect master, they might even have the opportunity to inherit the entire sect in the future.
This was why Zhang Xuan was shocked.
It was normal for the Spirit Beast Sect to want to take him in as a disciple. After all, everyone could tell that he and Little Moon were highly compatible.
However, this old man had praised him so highly from the start. Wasn't he a little too careless? This was the first time they had met.
And who was this old man? How could he order the sect master of the Spirit Beast Sect?
Thinking about this, Zhang Xuan started to observe this person.
The old man had a kind face and was wearing a patched robe, but his hair and beard were fluttering in the wind. Although his clothes were shabby, he had the style of an immortal.
Zhang Xuan nodded. He couldn't tell the old man's cultivation level, but from the old man's demeanor and his words, he could conclude that this person must have an extraordinary status in the Spirit Beast Sect.
Zhang Xuan was a little moved. He was unfamiliar with the world of cultivators, and many resources had to be inquired about at the last minute, which was a waste of time.
If he had a sect to rely on, it would be easier for him to find resources.
However, he couldn't just become their disciple. Otherwise, he would be tied up with sect affairs and wouldn't be able to travel between the two worlds.
After all, immortal cultivation was only a secondary profession. Zhang Xuan's family was in the beast-taming world in this life, so he was more inclined to develop in that world.
Speaking of which, the Spirit Beast Sect wasn't large, and it wasn't far from Yuan Wu City.
Even in the region of Yuan Wu City, it was only a small sect. If it was in the green continent or the three continents of South Heaven, It would not be worth mentioning.
Moreover, their sect's specialty was feeding demonic beasts. In the world of immortal cultivation, this was an unorthodox method, which led to the Spirit Beast Sect becoming more and more unpopular.
It was also because of this reason that the Spirit Beast Sect had never been popular, and its development was very slow.
The reason why Zhang Xuan had heard of it was because this sect walked the path of the sword and was often mentioned by passersby.
But Zhang Xuan didn't care about that. On the contrary, if the Spirit Beast Sect was small in scale, he would be able to come and go as he pleased.
Since ancient times, the big sects have had many rules. On the other hand, small sects like this did not have so many twists and turns.
The old man looked at Little Moon and Zhang Xuan from time to time. Seeing Zhang Xuan think for a long time, the old man thought that Zhang Xuan was hesitating, so he added more conditions.
"Little friend, do you think the treatment I promised just now is not enough? How about this, as long as you're willing to join my sect, this old man will make the decision to let the sect master take you as a personal disciple, and you'll have the opportunity to inherit the sect in the future!
"In addition, as long as you and I only know one thing, we can take any secret manuals, treasures, and pills in the sect. There's no limit to the number.
Also, this old master will teach you all the beast-taming techniques of my sect. Although you're from a beast-taming family, some of the secret techniques of my sect are not taught to outsiders, so you can also learn from them."
'Oh, my good man. A normal attack to trick a big move belonged to that!' Zhang Xuan was slightly shocked. He was just considering the gains and losses, but why couldn't this old man hold it in?
The secret beast-taming technique was the unique skill of the Spirit Beast Sect. This kind of thing was equivalent to the core spell of a high-ranking sect, the foundation of the sect's survival, and generally speaking, it would not be taught easily.
There were also those pills, treasures, and secret manuals, which were the foundation of the sect. As for direct disciples, they were equivalent to half of the sect master's son.
There had always been a rule in immortal cultivation sects that the position of sect master had always been occupied by the capable. Therefore, the sect master's personal disciples had to be carefully selected, and they must be of great talent and experience.
The old man's conditions were clearly not to accept disciples, but to pass the entire sect to him!
Seeing the old man's enthusiasm, Zhang Xuan was a little nervous. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
The old man had invited him to join the Spirit Beast Sect so attentively. Could it be that he had some other purpose? Or did he and the others notice something different about Little Moon?
"Little Moon?" Zhang Xuan turned around and looked at Little Moon.
Little Moon noticed Zhang Xuan's gaze and raised her head to meet his eyes.
One man and one wolf, their tacit understanding was unparalleled.
Zhang Xuan recalled that the elder wanted to take him in not because of him but because he saw Little Moon.
Thinking back to the wolf king's visit and how he noticed that Little Moon's eyes had a faint golden shadow that was different from normal Silver Moon Wolves, Zhang Xuan had a guess.
Yes, Little Moon must have some hidden value! Otherwise, the old man would not have been so interested.
The Spirit Beast Sect had not taken a fancy to him, but to Little Moon!
After having a guess, Zhang Xuan didn't want to reject directly. He asked, "Senior, we've only met once. Why do you value me so much?"
"Well, you see…" A hint of embarrassment flashed through the old man's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. "This old man sees that you're good at controlling beasts. You and this Silver Moon Wolf have a great rapport and get along well, far better than all of my disciples. To tell you the truth, I'm interested in your talent."
Zhang Xuan just nodded.
The way the Spirit Beast Sect tamed demonic beasts was to tame them. They could only simply control them and not sign a contract with them. Therefore, they were only "taming beasts." In this aspect, Zhang Xuan was definitely much stronger than them.
But Zhang Xuan still thought that the old man had other goals. After all, this reason was not enough to make the people of the Spirit Beast Sect teach him everything.
But Zhang Xuan didn't care about this. No matter what the Spirit Beast Sect's motive was, he decided to go and take a look.
The first was to rely on the sect to obtain more cultivation resources, so that he and Little Moon could improve their strength as soon as possible. Although the Spirit Beast Sect was small in scale, it was still a sect, and it was better than fighting alone.
Secondly, he also wanted to know what secrets Little Moon had. If the Spirit Beast Sect could reveal them, it would save him a lot of effort.
As for the danger, at most, he could open a passage and escape. Could the Spirit Beast Sect extend their hands into the beast-taming world?
"Alright." Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll agree to enter the Spirit Beast Sect.
"However, my nature is carefree, and I don't want to be bound by the rules, so I'm only a nominal disciple. If the sect has any problems, I can help, but you can't limit my freedom of movement."
"Hahahaha, it's fine, it's fine. As long as you're willing to join, everything can be discussed," the old man agreed without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuan kept his thoughts and said respectfully, "Very well, elder, please accept this disciple's bow."
"Hahahaha, there's no need for that." The old man quickly waved his hand and laughed. "Since you've agreed, we'll go to the sect now!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so impatient.
The old man nodded slightly. "That's right. To be honest, the sect leader asked me to invite you up the mountain. He has already asked the elders to wait for you in the sect. So, let's hurry back."
"Err, okay, but let me clean up first." Zhang Xuan entered the room and brought some clothes and supplies.
He had prepared these things the last time and had originally planned to stay here permanently. However, since there was the Spirit Beast Sect, there was no need to stay here.
After packing up, Zhang Xuan brought Little Moon and followed the old man to the Spirit Beast Sect.
