Chapter 213 Yan Ruyan's Invitation

Yan Ruyan saw that Mo Juren took away the "Blue Thunder Beast" that she was very interested in as soon as he came down. Although she was a little angry in her heart, she still said politely on the surface,
"I don't know what your name is? Where are you from?"

Mo Juren said casually,
"My name is Zhang Tie, and I come from the wild land of Yunzhou. I have long heard of the beauty of Fairy Yan from the Yan family. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation. No wonder she is called the most beautiful woman in Yue country!"

Yan Ruyan chuckled and said,

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are overpraising me. I am just borrowing the name of the Yan family to be praised so much."

"On the other hand, Brother Zhang is a very handsome man, and obviously comes from an excellent family. Why is he from a barbaric land?"

Mo Juren said with a smile,

"Oh, I'm afraid it's because our Zhang family fell into trouble in the early years, so we had to stay dormant in that wild land for many years, and rarely set foot in Yue Kingdom on weekdays."

Yan Ruyan didn't care.

"I see. So, does that mean that Fellow Daoist Zhang's Blue Thunder Beast is also a species from the Wild Land?"

"Because of my family tradition, I have done some research on some bird monsters."

"It's really rare to see a blue thunder beast as big as the one Daoist Fellow Zhang is riding."

Mo Juren Dao,

"We just keep these little birds for fun, unlike Fairy Yan, whose mount is the famous Yan family double-headed duck, right? Yours is a real good bird."

Seeing that Mo Juren was talking about something else, Yan Ruyan said sincerely,

"My bird was injured a few days ago. It took half a year for it to recover after recuperating in the Spirit Beast Mountain."

"I didn't expect that when I took it out to Spirit Beast Mountain to relax today, I met the Blue Thunder Beast ridden by Fellow Daoist Zhang. I immediately felt that I had a connection with Fellow Daoist Zhang."

It seems that what Yan Ling and Yan Yu said was true. The highly poisonous spiritual herb Soul-Transforming Mushroom that Mo Juren sold them really helped Yan Ruyan save her spiritual bird.

After all, you still have to thank me, Mo Juren thought secretly as he looked at the two-headed duck with a fierce look in its eyes.

Yan Ruyan then glanced at Mo Juren's expression with her beautiful eyes and continued slowly,
"Don't blame me for being so nosy. It's because a few years ago, a mountain guardian beast of the Jindan stage flew over the Lingshou Mountain and disappeared for many years. It is said that the beast has a similar bloodline to the Qinglei Beast."

"So I can't help but ask you, Brother Zhang, to be careful, lest your precious spiritual bird be disturbed by some ill-intentioned people in the Spirit Beast Mountain."

Mo Juren was shocked when he heard this. The inside information revealed by Yan Ruyan was very useful to him!

The missing guardian beast of the mountain, the mysterious altar in the iron-toothed bird forest, the origin and changes of the cloud-winged bird, and the news of Hong Jin's pursuit of the spiritual bird over the years, all these clues are connected together.

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Because of Yan Ruyan's hint, Mo Juren suddenly had a clearer guess about the true identity of the Cloud-winged Bird.

So he said with some emotion and guilt,
"I see. I was judging others by my own standards. Thank you so much for your kindness, Fairy Yan."

"Thanks to Fairy Yan's reminder, don't worry, although this wild bird of mine has nothing special except that it is a little bigger,"

"But since something like this has happened in Spirit Beast Mountain, I will definitely not let it out casually and cause unnecessary trouble."

Yan Ruyan looked at Mo Juren steadily, as if judging whether he was sincere or not. Then she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you only need to know the inside story. But just now, when I saw you using the spirit bird, it seemed to lack a saddle."

She pointed to the saddle-like device on the back of her two-headed duck and continued,
"With a saddle, it will be much easier to control the spirit bird. Meeting is fate, so why don't I accompany you to the Spirit Beast Mountain and help you build one?"

Mo Juren knew that his cloud-winged bird would only become so big when it was transformed. It was so small at other times, so how could it possibly put a saddle on its back? So he tried to refuse with an excuse.
"How could I be so favored by the fairy? But this wild bird of mine is usually wild and has never been planted with the seal of the beast."

"It is impossible for it to put on such a saddle obediently. I can only thank the fairy for her kindness."

Yan Ruyan was not annoyed when she heard this, and continued,

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Zhang has such high attainments in the art of taming beasts that he can control spiritual birds without the need for a beast seal. I admire you very much."

"For a cultivator like Fellow Daoist Zhang, who has come out of the wild land this time, besides Spirit Beast Mountain, he should also be thinking of traveling to other places, right?"

Mo Juren Dao,

"Of course. This is a good opportunity for me to see the world of Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation."

Yan Ruyan said happily,

"That's good. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to come to our Yanling Fort when you are free. Our Yan family has always valued young talents in the cultivation world. Shi Huan welcomes everyone to visit and exchange ideas in our Yanling Fort."

"And if Fellow Daoist Zhang had inquired more, he would have surely heard about the way our Yan family recruits talents."

After saying this, she turned to the side with a slightly red face and said,

"If you are interested in joining, men who come to our Yan family can choose a woman from the Yan family as their wife, and women can also marry men from the Yan family. As long as you become a disciple of the Yan family, you will receive all the training treatment, which is not much worse than the seven major sects."

It's no wonder that with this girl's beauty and such coquettish words, if it were any other cultivator, he would have been completely bewitched by her and would have been forced to reveal his true feelings to her.

Mo Juren took the opportunity to ask a question that interested him the most.

"Really? As the most important family in Yue Country, I didn't expect that your Yan family is so hospitable and kind to others. I wonder if your Yan family can provide foundation-building pills for new disciples?"

Yan Ruyan smiled and glanced at Mo Juren, then replied,
"Of course there is. As long as you officially join the Yan family, you can participate in the Pill Competition held by Yanling Castle every five years. Depending on your cultivation and strength, you will have the opportunity to obtain the foundation building."

When Mo Juren heard this, he immediately pretended to be excited and nodded repeatedly, saying,
"That's great. To be honest with Fairy Yan, the main reason I came out this time was to seek the foundation-building pill. Since the Yan family has such a good opportunity, if I have time, I might as well go."

Yan Ruyan took it seriously and immediately handed over a token and said,
"Yanling Fort is located in Yanliang Mountain in Linzhou. From here, go east from Qingzhou and pass Lanzhou, and you will arrive soon."

"Please accept this token from me, Brother Zhang. You can find me at Yanling Fort with this token. I will come out to greet you personally."

Mo Juren's heart trembled. This woman wanted to keep something by his side after all. Her actions were very suspicious. It seemed that she had some plans for him and was not as simple as she appeared to be.

But Mo Juren pretended to be flattered and took the token respectfully.
"Thank you for the invitation, Fairy. The trip to the Yan Family is fascinating. It's a deal, I will definitely go to Yan Family Castle to find you, Fairy Yan."

Yan Ruyan felt relieved when she saw Mo Juren accept the token. After saying goodbye with a bow, she rode on the two-headed duck and flew away into the sky.
