The other people of the Tai Qing Sect had not yet recovered from their shock. They looked at the little squirt in front of them, who was half the height of a person.

He had a charming and na?ve face, but he said such serious words. There was an inexplicable contrast of cuteness.

“Benefactor, please don’t look down on us. Our current strength has decreased due to the curse, but as long as we can find a way to completely break the curse, we will definitely not hold you back.”

When the people from the Tai Qing Sect heard this, they could not help but be curious. One of them asked, “What is your cultivation level now?”

The children immediately looked embarrassed and said, “I’m really ashamed to say this, but according to the ranks of you human cultivators, we’re only at the sky rank.”

After saying that, for fear that Ye Xuan would despise them, the little boy quickly added, “Although our cultivation is very low now, please give us some time, Benefactor. In the future, our cultivation speed will increase. After all, we Penglai Immortal Beasts are blessed by the heavens. Cultivation is not difficult for us.”

The people of the Tai Qing Sect couldn’t help but swallow their saliva and said in disbelief, “Just sky rank?”

And yet they were still ashamed? And say that they are dragging Ye Xuan down?

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but wonder if the Penglai Immortal Beasts were praising themselves in a self-deprecating manner.

The Tai Qing Sect disciples looked at each other, thinking that they were only around earth rank, and the highest among them were a few elders, who had just entered the sky rank.

If the Penglai Immortal Beasts were a burden, then what about them? They were afraid that they would not have the pride to continue living in this world.

For a moment, everyone’s expressions changed like a palette. One of them said embarrassedly, “You guys are too humble. You’ve set too high of a standard for yourselves.”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts looked serious and did not seem to be joking.

“No, this cultivation level is indeed very low for us. If it wasn’t for the curse, I’m afraid we’d be at the peak of the sky rank after we successfully transform.”

When the Tai Qing Sect heard this, they couldn’t help but secretly shed tears of envy and jealousy. Why was there such a big difference between humans and beasts?

They told themselves with all their might that they were Immortal Beasts and simply couldn’t be compared to them, only then did they feel much better.

After communicating with the Immortal Beasts, everyone realized that the Penglai Immortal Beasts had lived on the island a thousand years ago and stood aloof from the world. After that, they were sealed and had been sleeping for such a long time. They knew nothing about the outside world.

Despite their age, their personalities were like that of children. They were as innocent as they looked, without any ulterior motives.

“No wonder they were deceived by that person with a few words. In the end, they are still inexperienced and don’t know the evil of the human heart.”

The people of the Tai Qing Sect sighed and looked at the Penglai Immortal Beasts with less awe and more affection.

After all, it was too deceptive for Immortal Beasts to have such a face after taking human form.

If they were left outside and used by someone with ill intentions, they would definitely become a great killing weapon. Fortunately, they met Ye Xuan.

Not only was Ye Xuan the savior of all the Penglai Immortal Beasts, but he had also solved a big conspiracy to prevent them from being used by others. Furthermore, with the words uttered by the clan leader before it left, Ye Xuan’s status among them was very high.

“It’s better if you don’t call me ‘Benefactor’. It sounds a little strange.”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts looked at each other and said in unison, “Alright then, Clan Leader.”

Ye Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “I’m not from the same race as you. It’s not very appropriate to call me that.”

“But the previous clan leader has instructed us to follow you. Besides, you saved our lives, so it’s only right to call you ‘Clan Leader’.”

Ye Xuan could only let them do as they please.

However, the eyes of the people from the Tai Qing Sect could not help but light up.

“These Penglai Immortal Beasts address Elder Ye as ‘Clan Leader’. Since Elder Ye is a member of our Tai Qing Sect, doesn’t that mean that they are also a member of the Tai Qing Sect?”

Good lord, after transforming, each of the Penglai Immortal Beasts had the strength of the sky rank. Now that there were so many Penglai Immortal Beasts, the overall level of the Tai Qing Sect had been forcibly raised by a large margin. Who would dare to bully them in the future?

Their strength was almost on par with those big sects with deep foundations. After Ye Xuan thought it through, he didn’t bother to think about what the Penglai Immortal Beasts called him.

Tian Lan and Xuan Yuan, the Penglai Immortal Beasts who had first transformed, brought Ye Xuan and the others into their treasure vault.

The so-called treasure vault was actually a secret passage next to the underground palace. There were powerful formations and restrictions set up in it, which could only be removed with the heart blood of the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

If one was forced to give up the heart blood unwillingly, the restriction would be triggered. Not only would the treasures inside be damaged, but they would also be attacked by the formation.

“When we left Penglai Immortal Island, it happened so suddenly that we didn’t bring anything with us.”

The so-called ‘didn’t bring anything’, the Tai Qing Sect looked at the pile of items in front of them that almost formed a small mountain. The treasures were brilliant, flowing with light and color, simply enough to blind people’s eyes.

They immediately drooled.

Any one of them was a top-grade magic weapon that was worth a fortune. If they were to be put up for auction, they would probably cost tens of millions of spirit stones.

The same thought rose in everyone’s hearts at the same time. The Penglai Immortal Beasts were really too modest!

“I hope you don’t mind picking whatever you want. These aren’t of much use to us anyway.”

Looking at the mountain of magic weapons, cultivation methods, and medicinal pills in front of them, the people of the Tai Qing Sect were almost dazzled. They said in disbelief, “These are all for us?”

“You’re the Clan Leader’s companions, so you’re naturally our companions.”

In the past, the Tai Qing Sect’s people’s impression of demonic beasts was that they were brutal and bloodthirsty, but now it had completely changed. However, the Penglai Immortal Beasts had a special status, so they naturally could not be compared with these ordinary demonic beasts.

To have such mightly companions who were not only powerful but also generous, was simply like a dream.
