From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 249 The Growth of a Celestial Pet: Xiao Yao's Glorious Moment

Who is he?

What is your purpose in giving me such a precious seven-colored resurrection herb?

I clutched the wooden box tightly, my mind racing with thoughts.

But right now, the most important thing is still Zi Tong.

I carefully fed the Seven-Colored Resurrection Grass to Zi Tong. Its small body emitted a soft light, and its originally dim purple eyes regained their brilliance.

Seeing its energetic appearance, I finally felt relieved.

However, the Seven-Colored Resurrection Grass is only a temporary measure; Zi Tong's growth requires more rare resources.

I searched through all the ancient books, but still couldn't find any clues.

Zi Tong seemed to sense my anxiety, and her originally lively figure became somewhat listless.

It perched on my shoulder, gently nuzzling my cheek, as if trying to comfort me.

Seeing its weak state, my heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.

The surrounding scenery lost its color and turned gray, and my world seemed to dim as well.

I inquired everywhere, hoping to find some information about rare resources.

However, not everyone in the cultivation world is a good person.

I encountered some unscrupulous people who used sweet talk to swindle me out of my money, but didn't give me any useful information.

I was angry, I was desperate, and I felt a powerlessness I had never felt before.

The people around me were staring at me, and the oppressive atmosphere made me feel like I was suffocating.

Just as I was about to give up, a voice came from behind me: "Girl, I see your face is dark. Have you encountered some trouble recently?" I turned around sharply and saw a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat standing behind me.

His face was obscured, and his voice was deep and hoarse, making him difficult to understand.

"Who...are you?" I asked warily.

He smiled, his voice even hoarser, "I'm someone who can help you..."

The man in black robes led me to a hidden cave. The entrance was hidden by dense vines and was difficult to spot without careful observation.

A chilling aura emanated from the cave, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Where...is this place?" I asked cautiously.

The man in black robes chuckled softly, "What you're looking for is here." He pushed aside the vines and went inside first.

I hesitated for a moment, but in the end I followed.

The cave was dark and damp, and a pungent musty smell hit me, causing me to frown.

The ground was slippery and wet, and you had to be careful with every step.

Deep inside the cave, a faint rustling sound came from, like some kind of creature crawling, which made me even more uneasy.

"What exactly is this thing you're talking about?" I asked again, my voice trembling slightly with nervousness.

The man in black robes did not answer, but quickened his pace.

Reaching the end of the cave, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before us.

A huge underground cave appeared before me, its ceiling inlaid with fluorescent stones that emitted a ghostly blue light, making the entire cave seem eerie.

In the center of the cave, there was a pile of glittering minerals, exuding a rich spiritual energy. It was the rare resource I had been searching for!

I was so excited I almost jumped up, but then I remembered the strange behavior of the man in black robes, and a sense of vigilance rose in my heart.

"These...are they really for me?" I asked tentatively.

The man in black robes let out a chilling laugh. "Of course, as long as you pay the corresponding price." He suddenly turned around, his hat falling off to reveal a ferocious face.

"You..." I retreated in terror, only to find that I had been trapped by a formation at some point.

"How dare you lie to me!" I shouted angrily.

The man in black robes grinned maliciously as he approached. "Lie to you? I just want you to understand that nothing in this world comes for free." He stretched out his withered hand and reached for me...

Just at this critical moment, a clear, cold voice came from the cave entrance: "Stop!" A woman dressed in white appeared at the cave entrance. She had a beautiful face and an otherworldly temperament, like a fairy descending from the heavens.

The man in black robes paused, then turned to look at the woman in white. "Fairy Youyue, are you going to interfere in this matter too?" The woman in white, Youyue, snorted coldly. "I advise you to release her, otherwise..." She didn't finish her sentence, but the threat in her tone was unmistakable.

Exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd; clearly, no one had expected Fairy Youyue to appear here.

I was both surprised and delighted, as if I had grasped the last straw.

"Fairy Youyue, save me!" I shouted.

Youyue smiled slightly at me, then turned to look at the man in black robes, a cold glint flashing in her eyes...

Are you sure you want to be my enemy?

With a mere flick of her sleeve, Fairy Youyue sent the man in black flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the cave wall with a muffled groan.

The restraints on my body also disappeared.

"Thank you so much, fairy, for saving my life!" I bowed to her gratefully.

Fairy Youyue helped me up and said softly, "No need for formalities, it was just a small favor." She turned to look at the pile of glittering ore, "Stardust Sand!"

I have seen records of it in ancient books. It is a resource that is even more precious than the Seven-Colored Resurrection Grass and can greatly enhance the potential of immortal pets!

Fairy Youyue helped me collect some meteorite sand, and then led me away from that gloomy cave.

Back on the ground, the sunlight shone on me, and I felt incredibly warm and at ease.

I carefully fed the meteorite sand to Zi Tong, and its small body emitted a dazzling light. Its originally purple eyes became even deeper, as if they contained the stars and the sea.

A powerful force surged from its body, and I felt the air around me tremble.

Purple Eyes fluttered excitedly around me, chirping sweetly as if expressing its joy.

I reached out and gently stroked its soft fur, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

I know that my purple eyes are finally about to take flight!

A few days later, a pet competition was held in the Fairy Pet Mountain Range.

I brought Purple Eyes to the competition, and it easily defeated all its opponents with unstoppable momentum, ultimately winning the championship!

Watching Zi Tong's majestic figure on the stage, my heart was filled with pride.

The crowd around me erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, all casting envious glances my way.

I held Zitong tightly, feeling its warm body, and my heart was filled with joy.

"Xiao Yao, you are amazing!" a familiar voice rang out.

I turned my head and saw Wen Chen.

He walked up to me, and I smiled slightly, a sweet feeling welling up inside me.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, and the entire Immortal Pet Mountain Range shook...

"What's going on?" I was startled, and an ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

Wen Chen's expression also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid something big is about to happen..."

The warm sunlight shone on my face, feeling cozy and gentle, like soft downy fur brushing against my cheeks.

Standing atop the highest peak of the Fairy Pet Mountain Range, the crisp wind rustled my clothes, like a triumphant song playing for me.

Looking down, the mountains stretch endlessly, shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.

Standing atop this fairyland, I felt an unprecedented surge of joy and pride.

Purple Eyes, my little darling, is flying around me happily, chirping sweetly, as if sharing my joy.

Its purple eyes sparkled with a lively light, like two dazzling gems.

I reached out my hand, and it obediently landed in my palm, nuzzling the back of my hand with its fluffy little head, sending a warm current through my body.

"Purple Eyes, we succeeded!" I said softly, stroking its back.

It let out a cheerful chirp, as if in response to me.

I remember clearly that it was a weak little creature, lying in my arms, barely alive.

To save it, I traveled everywhere, went through countless hardships, and even almost lost my life.

Now, it has finally grown into a powerful celestial pet, and all the effort has been worthwhile.

I took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air on the mountaintop, and my heart was filled with strength.

Winning the pet competition is just the beginning; many more challenges await us in the future.

I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and create our own glory!

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar, and the entire mountain range trembled.

I was startled and quickly hugged Zi Tong tightly, looking around warily.

"What happened?" My voice trembled slightly.

Purple Eyes sensed my unease; it clung tightly to my body, emitting a low whimper.

"Boom!" Another loud noise rang out, and the earth shook violently, as if something was about to burst out of the ground.

I looked up and saw that the distant sky was shrouded in a dazzling golden light, and a powerful pressure descended from the sky, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

"What is that?" My heart was filled with doubt and fear.

Just then, an aged voice came from behind me: "It seems the Immortal Realm Treasure Hunt Competition is about to begin..."
