Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Looking at the thing that Chu Yang was asking about, Qing Yi felt a bit speechless when she noticed what he was referring to.

Meow~

"Have you never seen a cat before…?" Not knowing how to answer his question, Qing Yi asked in a bit confused tone. Cats were a common pet that many of the female disciples from the Flying Sword Sect kept by their side when cultivating and Chu Yang not having seen one before felt unrealistic to her.

"Not the cat! I'm talking about the statue that the cat is sitting on!" Correcting the misunderstanding that had occurred, Chu Yang's words caused Qing Yi to focus her gaze away from the cat sitting on top of the statue and instead focus on the statue itself.

The statue looked ordinary to most of the other statues that could be seen lined up in front of the different buildings along the road, some had statues of mythical beasts, while others had statues of different kinds of powerful demon beasts they had beaten.

In most cases, the statues existed to show off the first or strongest demon beast that the owner of the house had slain off during their time and could be considered a symbol of status inside the Flying Sword Sect.

This did not mean that everyone had a statue like that in front of their dwellings, Xuan Hao and the Sect Master was a great example of this, as both of them did not have any in front of their pavilion.

Zu Fei on the other hand did have a small demon wolf statue in front of her pavilion to symbolize the first demon beast she had managed to slay in the past. Sadly, the statue had been destroyed after the recent fight at her pavilion…

The statue in front of them, however, was not of a strong demon beast or mythical beast like a dragon or a phoenix… No, instead it was a statue of a cat around four times the size of an ordinary household cat.

The cat statue did not look threatening at all and even looked cute to some extent, as the statue just looked like a normal cat scaled up in size to make it look more majestic.

But failed quite phenomenally at this and instead made the cat statue look more adorable and loveable than majestic.

"I don't know… It might be an oversized cat? Maybe we should try to ask the owner if he or she should know something about it." Not being able to remember anything about what kind of demon beast that the oversized cat statue was from, Qing Yi began to walk towards the entrance of the house that the oversized cat was sitting guard in front of.

Chu Yang did not object to Qing Yi's suggestion and quickly caught up with her as Qing Yi leaned forward and knocked on the door with the cat statues in front of it.

Knock Knock

The sound echoed out and soon someone moving around could be heard from beyond the door as the door slowly began to open. Qing Yi and Chu Yang waited patiently as a young girl around the age of thirteen poked her head out of the door the moment there was enough space for her small head to fit through.

"W-what do you want…?" Looking closer at the young girl in front of them, Chu Yang and Qing Yi discovered that the young girl standing in the door had a running nose as her eyes had started to turn slightly bloodshot.

From the looks of things, the young girl was sick, but both Qing Yi and Chu Yang had no idea what it was. After all, to cultivators like them, getting sick would normally never happen. The only reason a cultivator would be like that was due to poisons or other similar things like eating the wrong herb when trying to gain a boost in cultivation…

And the little girl in front of them was definitely a cultivator! Even though she was only in the Qi Condensation Realm, she was still a cultivator and getting sick like a normal person was close to impossible!

"Ah, we just wanted to ask about the cat statue in the front and wanted to learn if you knew what kind of demon beast that it was…" Discovering the little girl had slowly begun to retreat back into the house while cautiously inspecting both of them, Qing Yi waved both her hands as she explained in an attempt to look as harmless as she possibly could to the little girl.

"I-I see, then… C-can I get you to help me get my medicine in return for telling you what kind of demon beast that the shadow cat statue is…?" Not realizing the fact that she had already given away the name of the demon beast, the little girl looked expectantly at Qing Yi as she waited for her to answer.

"Sure… W-where can we find your medicine…?" Not daring to refuse the request of the cute little girl in front of her even after already finding out the name of the demon beast, Qing Yi readily accepted the request.

"Great! You can go find grandpa Song; he is normally the one who brings me my medicine but today he has not managed to come over a deliver it… I think it has something to do with the biiiig swords that flew around on top of big sister Zu Fei's Mountain earlier!" The little girl had already made her way out of the door as she began to talk about where to find her medicine, but when she reached the point about her grandpa Song, the little girl began to talk about the earlier fight that had happened on top of the Vice Sect Master's Mountain. Not forgetting to emphasize how big the swords conjured forth by Zu Fei were with her small hands.

"So where can we find grandpa Song?" Trying to get the little girl back on track again, Qing Yi asked her with a kind smile as the little girl was about to start talking about the giant lotus flower that had blocked the big swords flying around on top of the mountain.

"Hm… You can try going to the Elder Hall over there, grandpa Song normally spends his time playing chess with some of his friends when he is not working." Pointing the direction of a tall building located towards the centre of the sect, the little girl thought about something for a moment before she began talking again.

"If he is not there, you can try to ask grandpa demon devourer. He normally plays chess together with grandpa Song and should know where he is. When you bring me my medicine, I will tell you about the statue!" With this, the little girl disappeared into the house, leaving behind both Qing Yi and Chu Yang to wonder…

How did someone get that little girl to call himself grandpa demon devourer!?
