Banshee Family Training Record

Page 215

Dongfang Yue looked at her senior sister with eyes full of admiration. She had no doubt that her senior sister would soon break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and then dominate the world.

But now, looking at the dejected Yan Shuiyi, she whispered, "Oh, don't worry, senior sister, let's go, let's do something else to clear our minds."

As she spoke, her eyes lit up: "Senior sister, have you figured out the Soul-Trapping Mirror yet?"

Yan Shui snapped out of her reverie, then hesitated, "I've almost finished researching it, but I'm still a little hesitant to use it. As Master said, this thing is just too dangerous..."

Dongfang Yue pinched her and continued, "It is indeed dangerous to use it on people, but we can use it on small animals first!"

As she spoke, she took her senior sister's hand and led her to the backyard: "Look, senior sister, what have I prepared for you!"

Dongfang Yue looked closely and saw a huge cage in the backyard containing some chickens and rabbits. Some were pecking at rice, while others were nibbling on cabbage leaves.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Shui immediately realized something: "There are a total of thirty-five heads and ninety-four feet in this cage. It's easy to see that there are twenty-three chickens and twelve rabbits in the cage."

Dongfang Yue smiled and gently punched her senior sister: "I wasn't giving you a test. I meant that we can use these things to do experiments."

Immediately, Yan Shui hesitated: "Using animals for experiments? I just feel... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Dongfang Yue was immediately moved. Her senior sister was so kind that she couldn't bear to use small animals for experiments.

She immediately spoke up, gently advising, "Senior sister, don't worry too much. These little animals are already starving and cold in the wild. I caught them here, cured their illnesses, and let you try them out. They're more than happy to be here."

"You don't need to pity them too much. This is the price that must be paid for the advancement of magic. If anything really happens, I will take care of these little animals for the rest of their lives. How about you take care of them?"

Yan Shui Yi Dao: "That's not what I meant. I know it's common to use small animals for experiments to improve magic, I'm just worried..."

She glanced at the various bewildered animals in the cage: "This is, after all, an experiment concerning the soul. Using these small animals that have no intelligence and can hardly communicate with us for experiments, will we end up not seeing any results?"

Dongfang Yue was immediately moved again. As expected of my senior sister, she was so thoughtful.

My senior sister is perfect.

Thinking this, she then said, "There's no need to worry about that, right? We're just doing some experiments. It would be great if we could learn something, but even if we don't, we can still treat it as practice."

Yan Shui nodded slightly: "That's true."

Without further ado, she took out an oval-shaped mirror with brass-colored edges from her storage bag, her expression serious. She pointed it at one of the chickens and silently chanted a spell.

Inside the cage, a chicken was pecking at rice, while next to it, a gray rabbit was nibbling on cabbage leaves.

But at that moment, a hazy light fell, abruptly trapping the two little creatures. Then, the souls of the two animals were extracted and trapped inside the mirror.

Dongfang Yue glanced at it and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, why did you take two at once? Quickly send one back first; it's not easy to handle two souls!"

Yan Shuiyi was a little flustered and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I know."

As she spoke, she silently recited a spell, sending the rabbit's soul back inside, leaving only the chicken's soul within, and then began to study it carefully.

Dongfang Yue also stepped forward, gazing into the mirror. The mirror reflected a rooster almost identical to its real form, pacing anxiously back and forth. Following the incantation recorded in the scriptures, Yan Shui silently chanted, "Cleanse the mind!"

A stream of spiritual energy was injected into the Soul-Binding Mirror, and a gentle light immediately shone forth. Inside the mirror, the previously restless pheasant soul gradually calmed down, blinked its eyes as if quite at ease, and finally sat down on the ground, closed its eyes, seemingly falling into a peaceful slumber.

That's the effect of the Soul-Capturing Mirror: it absorbs the target's soul into it, and then you can do whatever you want with it, however you like.

Whether you want to clear away negative emotions or add to their lustful desires, you can do whatever you want with them.

Yan Shui observed the state of the pheasant's soul in the mirror, feeling a growing tension. She hoped for a good outcome, after all, her ultimate goal was to use the Soul-Binding Mirror on herself.

Observe your own soul from a more objective perspective.

She observed for a while, and the pheasant's soul in the mirror showed no abnormalities. She breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to put the pheasant's soul back to see if anything would change, but when she turned her head, she found that the pheasant was long gone from where the cage had been, and only the gray rabbit was still lying quietly in the same spot.

Yan Shui was stunned. She turned to look at Dongfang Yue beside her, her eyes filled with confusion, only to see the latter suppressing a laugh, as if she was holding back something very funny.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yan Shuiyi had no choice but to ask first, "What's going on?"

Dongfang Yue finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter, clutching her stomach: "Senior sister, you made a mistake just now! You sent the rabbit's soul into the chicken's body!"

As she spoke, she pointed, and Yan Shuiyi saw in the distance a chicken hopping and flapping its wings in a very strange and stiff manner. It didn't look like a normal pheasant, but rather like a crazy rabbit!

Immediately, Yan Shui was extremely embarrassed: "This... how could this happen! Quick, Yueyue, help me catch it back, I need to get its soul back!"

She was too shy to contain herself, and Dongfang Yue didn't mock her senior sister too much. She immediately chanted a spell to catch the crazed pheasant and put it in front of Yan Shui.

The latter activated the Soul-Trapping Mirror, taking in the rabbit's soul in preparation for the exchange. Before she could return their souls, another unexpected event occurred.

Chapter 446 How long does it take for a dual cultivation session?

Inside the cage, the rabbit whose soul had been taken away had been lying quietly, motionless for a long time. Just then, a male rabbit quietly crouched behind it and assumed a position.

Outside the cage, Yan Shui chanted the incantation again, sending the pheasant's soul back. The pheasant remained quite calm, twisting its head twice before walking away peacefully.

Then, she was about to return the rabbit's soul as well, but as soon as she looked down, she saw that the male rabbit on the little gray rabbit's back had already started to charge.

Immediately, her expression turned quite awkward: "This..."

Although she was still a virgin, she was already of a certain age and immediately understood what the two little animals were doing, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Dongfang Yue also saw it, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She felt a surge of excitement, not only because she had witnessed a novel scene, but also because she had seen it together with Yan Shui.

Senior sister, what is her opinion on these mating behaviors?

She was unsure, her curiosity was burning, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

Yan Shuiyi, on the other hand, was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to handle her emotions. She quickly tried to make conversation by saying, "This, in this state, it's probably not appropriate to put its soul back?"

Dongfang Yue gave an awkward laugh: "That's true, let's wait a bit... cough cough..."

As she spoke, she tried to make conversation to ease the awkwardness: "Senior sister, you're still just like the legends say, not very good at using magical artifacts..."

Yan Shui looked embarrassed; this was indeed her flaw. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and coincidentally, beneath her extraordinary talent, she was actually quite unskilled at using magical artifacts.

The magical artifacts used by cultivators often have intricate and complex internal structures and are made in all sorts of bizarre ways. Even some simple magical artifacts are no less difficult to use than piloting a fighter jet, and the slightly more complex ones are about as difficult as allowing an ordinary person to pilot an aircraft carrier alone.

Even cultivators need a certain talent to use them skillfully. Unfortunately, despite her amazing talent, Yan Shuiyi has no talent in this area.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her junior's words, she quietly defended herself, "These kinds of things can be learned through practice..."

Dongfang Yue didn't reply. She glanced at the mating rabbits, then looked up at Yan Shuiyi. Seeing her senior sister's slightly flushed, shy appearance, she found her extremely cute.

Yan Shui didn't seem to notice her little gesture and steered the conversation back on track, blushing as she continued in a low voice, "Then, how long will it take? It doesn't seem like it's good if the soul is separated from the body for too long..."

Dongfang Yue tilted her head slightly: "Uh... does Senior Sister know how long it usually takes for rabbits to mate..."

Yan Shuiyi's face turned even redder: "How would I know? I don't raise rabbits. But you, you usually read so many strange and unusual books..."

Dongfang Yue lowered her head, her toes pressed together, not daring to look at her. She could actually guess that her senior sister must have seen those shady little picture books she usually collected, but she didn't know exactly how many she had seen.

She desperately wanted to explain to Yan Shui that she wasn't a lecherous woman obsessed with romance, but she didn't know how to bring it up. After thinking for a moment, she could only pretend to be nonchalant, muttering to herself, "I don't know either... the books I read weren't about rabbits..."

Yan Shui blushed and said, "We're all human, right?"

Dongfang Yue turned her face away: "There are also demon cultivators... but rabbit demons who have cultivated into spirits... uh... oh dear, and the content in those books is all exaggerated, the things in them aren't very useful for reference..."

Yan Shui hadn't seen those things before and didn't know how to respond: "Well... um..."

As they were talking, the rabbit in the cage began to speed up, then suddenly its body convulsed violently, and after it finished, its body stiffened and it collapsed to the side.

Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Is this... over?"

She estimated that the total time was only about a minute: "So short?"

Dongfang Yue blushed and turned back to look at her senior sister: "Yeah, they're all very short..."

Unable to contain her curiosity, Yan Shuiyi asked in a low voice, "Are they all this short in the books, ending like this?"

Dongfang Yue shook her head slightly: "No, in the book, dual cultivation usually lasts for ten days to half a month... but in reality, it seems to only take three minutes to finish..."

"Three minutes?" Yan Shui asked, puzzled.

"Hmm." Dongfang Yue lowered her head, her face already flushed. "I heard Senior Sui mention it in a casual conversation once. She said that she and her husband only lasted three minutes each time before it was over..."

Yan Shuiyi's face also turned bright red. Senior Sui was a sword cultivator from their Qingyun Sect with a late-stage Golden Core cultivation. Her Daoist partner was a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm. The two could be considered a match made in heaven.

However, can a Golden Core cultivator's dual cultivation really end in just three minutes?

No, I stumbled upon Yun Chu'an and Hua Caiyan cultivating together that time, and it seemed like it lasted longer than three minutes...

She couldn't understand it for a while, and couldn't help but want to think about it more deeply. But the more she thought about it, the redder and hotter her cheeks became. Some random thoughts flooded her mind, making her even more excited.

No, I can't think about it anymore!

She closed her eyes, trying to interrupt her thoughts, took a deep breath, and focused her attention back on what she should be paying attention to.

She looked down and saw that the male rabbit had already crawled away, leaving only the female rabbit lying motionless in the distance.

Knowing that the time was almost up, she quickly grasped the Soul-Trapping Mirror, silently recited a spell, and sent the rabbit's soul back.

With this step completed, everything was finally finished. She carefully observed the rabbit and the chicken, and after finding that they didn't show any obvious abnormalities, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, everything seems to be going smoothly.

Well, that way, next time, I'll probably be able to truly apply the Soul-Trapping Mirror's functions to myself.

Yan Shuiyi already had a plan for her future.

……

"Just like that, put all of these, here and here, into one storage bag and store them together. Don't separate them, it will be easier to find them later."

At the field mouse family's residence, Yun Chu'an, in his original appearance, waved his hand to direct the field mice to move equipment and supplies.

The final battle to wipe out the Yellow Python is approaching, and to avoid being caught in the crossfire, they need to move as soon as possible.

For a small demon cultivation family like the Field Mouse Clan, this was no easy task. After all, the equipment and various raw materials inside were too heavy and complicated, making it difficult for them to easily carry everything away.

Fortunately, there is still Yun Chu'an here.

With a wave of his hand, he spent hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones to buy a lot of storage bags. After handing them over to Ziyang Cai for personal distribution, he was able to quietly transport away some large pieces of equipment.

Although it cannot be accomplished in one fell swoop, by taking it one step at a time and making several round trips, it can be completed in about the time it takes.

He directed the rat demons' actions inside the cave. Behind him, the female patriarch of the field mouse family, Ziyangcai, still in her rat-headed, human-bodied form, had a complex expression, even tinged with sadness. Looking at everything around her, she still felt a great deal of reluctance.

She didn't tell Yun Chu'an about these feelings. Besides, she had some other thoughts she didn't dare to say, but at least she found a suitable person to speak for her through the latter.

Beside her, Liu Meng slowly stepped forward, took Yun Chu'an's arm, and whispered, "Chu'an, our medicinal herb fields..."

She and Ziyangcai had been managing this medicinal herb field together for more than two years, and it had finally started to produce medicinal herbs steadily. Giving it up now really pained her.

Yun Chuan took a deep breath, opened his arms, hugged her, and then said softly, "Don't worry, Meng Shen. Once we're settled, we'll get a bigger medicinal herb field to grow herbs."

"We want to grow ginseng, we want to grow lingzhi, and we also want to have saffron gourds in our own hands..."

As he spoke softly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. A field mouse suddenly rushed into the cave, breaking the tranquility he had painstakingly created: "Sir, Diao De'er is here. He's outside now, and it seems he wants to see you."

Chapter 447 Please become my Daoist partner!

Yun Chuan felt a sudden surge of irritation. He really didn't want to see that snake demon, but he suppressed the emotion with his willpower, lowered his head and gently kissed Liu Mengshen's cheek, then said, "Where is he? I'll go see him right away."

Before he finished speaking, his facial features shifted, and in the blink of an eye, he reverted to Mickey Mouse's shifty-eyed appearance.

The rat demon led the way, and Yun Chuan quickly walked out of the cave and arrived in the valley outside.

At this moment, the sun was already setting, and the light in the valley was not very good. As soon as Yun Chuan came out, he saw Diao De'er standing alone in the waist-high grass, his arm was bandaged, his face was bruised and swollen, and his eyes were filled with tension, expectation and a hint of fear as he looked in this direction.

Yun Chu'an strode towards him, lowering his eyes to conceal the impatience in his pupils as much as possible: "Second Brother, what's wrong?"

With a look of fear and ingratiation, Diao De'er called out to him, "Brother Mickey, hehe, long time no see! I've come to see how you've been..."

He hesitated and mumbled repeatedly, as if he had something to ask of someone but was too embarrassed to say it.

Yun Chu'an was too lazy to waste words with him and said directly, "Just say what's on your mind. Uh, your injury hasn't healed yet? Should I get you some tonic pills?"

Diao De'er said, "No need, no need, it's just that I've heard some things."

He pursed his lips. "I heard that lately you've been sending your underlings out all the time to contact people outside, heh..."

He gave a fawning look: "You're planning a surprise attack on those people from behind enemy lines at a crucial moment, right?"

Yun Chu'an was stunned. How come he even came up with a reason for him? "Ah, I didn't think that much. I just want the little mice to steal supplies from those guys' warehouses. Of course, if there's a chance, burning down their camp and giving them a good beating from behind is also an option."

He followed the other person's words and blinked, "So, Second Brother, why bring this up?"

Diao De'er finally mustered up his courage and revealed his purpose: "Brother, please do me a favor and send my second brother to your places as well."

Yun Chu'an was puzzled for a moment, but as he looked at the snake demon's eyes and saw them becoming increasingly ashamed, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he realized the truth.

This guy wants to desert!

Yun Chu'an was incredulous. He opened his mouth and couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, do the elders in the family know about this plan?"

Immediately, Diao De'er's face flushed red, clearly aware that his desertion was extremely shameful. Still concerned for his reputation, he hesitated, then gave Yun Chu'an a look of utter disappointment, letting out a long sigh: "Alas, they are all so busy, especially now with the situation so critical; they are already busy enough."
