Chapter 340: Chapter 340

The white eagle Beastman Bai Feng, his long feathers trailing on the ground, remained unstained by dust.

He was clean and beautiful, handsome and perfect like a deity.

He busied himself among the Priests.

Si Yan was not familiar with the layout of Myriad Beasts City, but Bai Feng was.

He discussed plans with Xue Lin, who, having no questions, immediately carried them out.

He also instructed the Priests and Beastmen from the various tribes stationed in Myriad Beasts City, who then hurried back to their tribes to make arrangements.

When a great event approached in the Beast World, High Priest Bai Feng became its very soul.

Si Yan watched the busy white eagle Beastman, recalling the words of the white eagle Beastmen from the Legacy World.

The Beast God was invisible and intangible.

But High Priest Bai Feng was visible and tangible.

He had lived for many, many years. In a sense, he was the spiritual leader of the Beast World, the second Beast God of this world.

Si Yan looked at Bai Feng’s back for a while before she turned away, reassured.

Si Yan said, "Old Gecko, do you know why the High Priest is willing to protect the Beast World so ceaselessly?"

The gecko turned over, basking with its belly up. "I don’t know," it said. "That’s something only he himself probably knows."

Si Yan looked back at the immaculate white male.

His Pupillary Power allowed him to see through everyone, to see the past and the future. Usually, those with such god-like abilities despise the world after seeing through its darkness. But Bai Feng was different. Even with such powers, he was so gentle.

Just as Si Yan had left the City Lord’s mansion, a white eagle Beastman swooped down from the sky. She stopped in her tracks, realizing it was Mu Xiao.

"Why have you come?" Si Yan asked curiously.

"I don’t have anything in particular to do. Seeing you alone, I thought I’d join you for a walk," he replied.

Showily, Mu Xiao flaunted his neat and clean feathers. "Si Yan, look at my feathers, haven’t they become prettier?"

Si Yan laughed. "Your feathers are well-maintained."

Proudly, Mu Xiao twirled around and then looked around. "Where’s that silly dog that hangs around you?"

"You mean Tai Seng? He should be busy selling wine at the wine shop."

Mu Xiao’s eyes lit up. "Right, I heard them say you’re a wine brewer! I thought it was a joke. I definitely must taste the wine you brew later!"

Si Yan laughed. "You’re always welcome."

Mu Xiao said, "Si Yan, I’ve been to Myriad Beasts City quite a few times. I’m quite familiar with this place."

"Look, there’s a little shop up ahead. That’s a goat’s shop that sells Priest scepters."

Si Yan paused. She had been to the goat scepter shop. She had looked for scepters but hadn’t found one suitable for her. Suddenly, Si Yan remembered she had asked the old goat grandfather to custom-make a Priest scepter for her. She wondered if it was ready.

She said, "Let’s take a look."

Si Yan strode into the goat’s earthen hut, with Mu Xiao following.

The door of the small earthen hut was open, but neither the old goat grandfather nor the young goats were inside.

As before, from the outside, the small earthen hut resembled a small hill. Inside, there were only a limited number of scepters of varying sizes—most were similar to before.

A few old ones were missing, and it seemed that two or three new ones had appeared.

Si Yan walked towards the two or three new scepters to examine them closely.

Of the new scepters, one was entirely black, adorned with black tassels and small bones. Another was golden yellow, adorned with red beast-skin strips and small beast skulls.

Si Yan’s gaze swept past these two scepters, settling on the third.

The third scepter was the most ordinary wood color, strikingly simple and clear. It was merely a smoothly carved piece of wood, without a mess of bones and beast skins hanging from it.

Si Yan was captivated the moment she saw it.

She grabbed the scepter. It felt warm in her palm, as if the scepter was responding to her.

A profound and mysterious sensation suddenly spread throughout her body. It was as though this scepter was made just for her.

"Grandchild?" Old Gecko called out.

Si Yan returned to her senses, her eyes blazing as she looked at the scepter. Her expression was fervent. "Old Gecko, I feel it! It suits me, it suits me very well!"

Old Gecko smiled. "Then give it a try."

Si Yan gently infused her Beast Power into the scepter. Recalling the priestly knowledge Bai Feng had taught her in the Legacy World, she swung the scepter!

Then, a potent aura of burgeoning life, a powerful life force, spread throughout the small earthen hut!

This truly was astounding.

Mu Xiao leapt up in surprise, his speech jumbled. "Si... Si Yan... My God, what is this? You... you’re a Priest?!"

Mu Xiao was genuinely flabbergasted. He remembered seeing Si Yan for the first time at the Yanxiang Tribe, before the Day of Blazing Flames. She was a dirty, thin, ugly, and filthy-looking female, seemingly on the brink of death. He was impressed by her when he saw her, despite her small size, hunt down a White Tiger. He had proudly proposed a union to her but was rejected. Yet in less than a year, she had changed completely. She was now clean and beautiful, the Lady of the Delusional Domain. She was wise and intelligent, having become a sage known to all in Myriad Beasts City. And now, she seemed to have become a Priest as well! In the Beast World, a Priest’s status was very high.

Mu Xiao felt dazed. Fortunately, he had proposed a union to Si Yan before. Though rejected, at least he had made the attempt. Even though he hadn’t seen Si Yan many times, he had a feeling. That proposal could become something he could boast about for a lifetime.

"This scepter is indeed suitable for Sage Si Yan," Old Goat Grandfather emerged from behind.

Si Yan held the scepter in her hand, her eyes burning intensely as she looked at it, unable to part with it.

"I like it, I really like it," Si Yan said, examining the scepter.

He smiled, stroking his beard. "This scepter is made from the heartwood of an eagle-perch tree and a section of millennial finger bone. The finger bone is integrated into the heartwood, so it can’t be seen. Its power is strong enough, so there’s no need to attach additional bones to aid in spirit communication."

Si Yan said, "This is perfect."

With that, she directly took out three Golden Insect Crystals. "Grandfather, these are for you."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Old Goat Grandfather reflexively refused without a second thought. "Finding a suitable owner for the scepter is a moment of great joy for us scepter ferrymen. Moreover, you’ve already given an Insect Crystal before. I will not charge you any extra." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by noⅴelfire.net

Si Yan said, "This scepter is definitely worth this price. Thank you for making this scepter for me."

"Sage Si Yan, I’m just a scepter ferryman." Old Goat Grandfather sighed. "Perhaps the scepter itself chose you."

Si Yan still pressed the three Golden Insect Crystals into Old Goat Grandfather’s hand.

"Regardless, thank you."

With that, Si Yan, gripping the scepter tightly, excitedly ran outside.
