Mount Qiyun, recently, the mountain had been filled with the cries of wild beasts, from tigers to horses.
Whenever these beasts made a commotion, disciples would direct their gaze towards a garden not far from the Bronze Divine Hall.
This place, known as the Beast Garden, was divided into small areas by steel railings, where tigers, lions, elephants, steeds, and giant turtles were housed.
A plainly dressed woman, with a hint of heroism between her brows, was carrying a bucket, feeding these wild beasts something akin to elixirs.
This woman, named Pei Lan, was among the first disciples recruited by the Dao Sect's inaugural open recruitment. She was one of the few female disciples on the mountain and also one of the three great prodigies.
She had been chosen by Lu Qian to serve as the steward of the Beast Garden, responsible for taking care of these wild creatures.
