Inside the Spirit Beast Garden, whether it was lions, tigers, bears, or deer, all the demonic beasts stared wide-eyed at one another, not daring to make a sound, afraid they might provoke this vicious god of slaughter.
Other menial laborers at most withheld some food from them, but this new old man—he was after their lives!
He looked kind and gentle on the surface, but once he made a move, he was terrifying. Even the crane king had been instantly killed by him!
Although they were raised in the Spirit Beast Garden, these demonic beasts weren’t fools. They knew what Su Bai had done was playing the pig to eat the tiger.
“Hehe, good, just be obedient!” Su Bai said with a grin. “As long as you behave, I won’t make things hard for you. At most, I’ll just eat a few bird eggs or gnaw on a few deer legs.”
Hearing this, the lions and tigers let out a sigh of relief, but the demon deer all became tense, afraid of being eaten next.
In the following days, Su Bai had nothing much to do. He collected honey, roasted bird eggs, and fished spirit fish. He spent his time leisurely, enjoying barbecue, sipping liquor, and relaxing in the evening breeze. Life couldn’t have been better.
One evening, a woman gracefully arrived, carrying a basket in her hands.
“You didn’t have to bring gifts just because you’re visiting,” Su Bai said with a smile as he looked at Ziyun. He found that dressed in the Azure Cloud Sect disciple’s robes, she had a unique elegance.
Ziyun respectfully set the basket down. “Inside are some spirit fruits I picked from the mountain and a little spirit wine I brewed myself. I hope Senior won’t find it lacking.”
Ziyun was very considerate. Since Su Bai had helped her so greatly, she naturally wanted to repay the kindness. She knew that someone of Su Bai’s caliber wouldn’t care for ordinary gifts. Although her homemade spirit wine wasn’t particularly rare, it represented her sincerity.
“Come, try my cooking!” Su Bai handed her a roasted egg.
“This is… a demonic egg?” Ziyun, being of the demon race, found such food common. But ever since joining the Azure Cloud Sect, she had learned that only those with enough status and qualification could enjoy such delicacies.
“Hehe, if there weren’t such perks, why do you think I came to the Spirit Beast Garden?” Su Bai said with a grin. “None of these beasts are my match. I eat what I like.”
He pointed toward the deer pen. “These demon deer are aggressive and constantly fight. It’s perfectly normal if a few get injured or die.”
Although the deer couldn’t speak, they had developed intelligence and clearly understood what Su Bai meant. Hearing this, they let out agitated cries. What kind of deer fight ends with a deer leg missing?
Several deer in the pen had only three legs—because one had already been chopped off by Su Bai. A few male deer had even had their antlers sliced off and soaked in liquor.
The demon tigers had it even worse. Tiger bones were precious, so under the Spirit Beast Garden’s records, two demon tigers had “died in a fight,” one dead and one injured. Visit novelping . com for the full chapter.
That bottle of medicinal wine Su Bai was soaking now—just sniffing it would give you a nosebleed.
Ziyun smiled slightly after hearing all this, finding this senior both humorous and bold.
Then, Su Bai pulled out a bracelet from his robe. “This is a Jade Bracelet, a mid-grade magical artifact. You may already have some, but they’re all demonic items—not suitable for public use. This one is perfect for self-defense.”
He handed the Jade Bracelet to Ziyun.
Tears welled up in her eyes—she was truly moved.
Ever since her father died in battle, she had been drifting from place to place, always hunted or shunned. No one had ever treated her so well.
She and Su Bai were practically strangers, yet he had helped her repeatedly.
Not only had he found her a safe place in the Azure Cloud Sect, but now he had also gifted her such a good defensive treasure.
“Senior, your kindness and virtue—I, Ziyun, will never forget!” she said. “I only wish to follow you and serve you wholeheartedly.”
She was deeply grateful.
Su Bai merely gave a calm smile, fully displaying his expert demeanor. “For now, just focus on cultivating well in the Azure Cloud Sect. No one here knows who you are. Once your cultivation has progressed, only then can you seek vengeance.”
“You must understand, life is all about patience. As long as you keep your head down and bide your time, one day, you’ll get your revenge.”
Ziyun listened carefully and took his words to heart. If not for this reminder, she would have rushed headlong into danger.
Although she was gentle by nature, she was still young—and carried a deep blood feud. It was only natural to be impatient. But Su Bai’s words had awakened her.
She couldn’t afford to be impulsive. A single misstep could lead to death.
If she died, that would be one thing—but her vengeance would remain unfulfilled!
“I will strictly follow your teachings, Senior,” she said, rising and bowing deeply, her posture elegant and graceful—truly pitiful yet lovely.
“Take this with you,” Su Bai said casually, handing her a book. “Learn more, and you’ll always have an advantage.”
She was stunned. But thinking it over, she figured that a master like Su Bai wouldn’t give her something without meaning—there had to be some hidden wisdom. So, she accepted it respectfully.
Su Bai waved his hand, signaling for her to leave.
Once Ziyun’s figure disappeared from the Spirit Beast Garden, Su Bai finally burst out laughing.
[Host has successfully gifted: Jade Bracelet (mid-grade magical artifact).]
[Received 100x Critical Return: Vajra Bracelet (high-grade magical artifact).]
A high-grade magical artifact!
The Vajra Bracelet could activate the Vajra Incantation three times a day. Each activation lasted for ten breaths, during which golden light would form a protective shield, granting incredible defense.
But that wasn’t even the best part.
The true jackpot was from gifting that Postpartum Care for Sows book.
It had just been a random attempt, yet it worked.

[Received 100x Critical Return: Bloodline Reversion Technique.]
This meant that Su Bai wasn’t limited to returning magical items or techniques. Even giving away mundane things could trigger valuable cultivation treasures in return.
The Bloodline Reversion Technique was a spell specifically for demonic beasts. It allowed one to refine their blood and awaken ancient beast lineage, massively enhancing their power.
For example, a snake demon with a trace of ancient flood dragon blood could undergo a 10x critical bloodline enhancement and immediately evolve from snake to flood dragon.
Although Su Bai’s Spirit Beast Garden was home to many demonic beasts, their quality was mediocre. But with this technique, he could raise an entire garden of vicious beasts.
“I thought a strong medical technique would be the best I’d get, but I didn’t expect to receive such a domineering spell instead!”
Su Bai’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he turned his gaze toward a demon tiger nearby.
