Something is running towards this direction.

Nalan Yan'er was startled by the noise.

Dacang Mountain looked desolate, hopefully it wasn't some fierce beast.

Descending from the mountain, came a group of snow-white Dacang Monkeys.

Seeing the group of monkeys, Nalan Yan'er couldn't help but step back. She had heard that Dacang Mountain had wild monkeys that were extremely vicious, even killing and eating human flesh, with previous military encirclements having failed to subdue them.

They were filthy, stinky, and ferocious.

"Why did you call them over here?"

Nalan Yan'er asked displeased, but upon seeing the monkeys' actions clearly, she exclaimed with surprise.

"Wushang, are you a Beast Control Master?"

The group of barbaric and ferocious Dacang Monkeys sat in rows beside Hua Wushang, not even daring to get closer.

He had merely played the Jade Flute.

Hua Wushang had given her too many surprises; she hadn't expected that he could also control beasts.

A Beast Control Master, what a formidable existence that was!

Hua Wushang neither denied nor confirmed it.

"Can you teach me Beast Control?"

Nalan Yan'er was overjoyed. If she could become a Beast Control Master, then both Emperor Yongye and Dugu Wu would surely regard her with newfound respect.

Nalan Yan'er always considered herself highly, but ever since Feng Bailing appeared, her past source of pride had shattered.

Because Feng Bailing possessed Medical Skill, both Emperor Yongye and Dugu Wu favored her greatly.

Why should someone without even a Wenhua Seal be worthy!

Yet if she became a Beast Control Master, everything would be different.

"You want to become a Beast Control Master?"

Hua Wushang glanced at Nalan Yan'er.

"I heard that the Shannan Dynasty had a Beast Control Master this time, but he was killed by Dugu Wu.

"If I can become a Beast Control Master, it would be great news for Great Chu. My Blessing Technique has improved recently; perhaps I can really control them."

Nalan Yan'er was eager to try.

"You can give it a try."

Hua Wushang was noncommittal.

Nalan Yan'er, full of confidence, stepped forward.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on a strong Dacang Monkey, her Wen Energy slowly attempting to take control of it.

The monkey's eyes looked vacant, motionless.

Nalan Yan'er thought she had succeeded and ordered.

"Kneel before me."

Her domineering demeanor frightened the monkey.

The monkey suddenly sprang up, baring its teeth at Nalan Yan'er, and with a whoosh, it swiped its paw towards her face.

Hua Wushang intervened just in time, and Nalan Yan'er's face was only scratched, leaving her pale with terror, trembling.

"Why didn't it work? My Blessing Technique works so well on people, it's just a brainless animal."

Nalan Yan'er's eyes widened in disbelief.

"They are much smarter than you think, with even keener instincts."

Hua Wushuang shook his head; Nalan Yan'er found these monkeys extremely repulsive.

Her disgust was felt by the macaques, and naturally, the Dacang Macaques could not be beguiled by her.

"You will never be able to become a Beast Control Master in your lifetime."

Being a Beast Control Master was about innate talent. A Beast Control Master like Qi Shu had been living with beasts since childhood. Although Nalan Yan'er had the Wenhua Seal, her talent was mediocre, since she had started halfway through her life.

"So what's the use of keeping them?"

Nalan Yan'er stomped her feet in frustration.

"They are very useful. It's just that you can't harness them. I am using them to brew Monkey Wine, a kind of wine that can restore Gang Qi and Wen Energy."

Upon hearing this from Hua Wushang, Nalan Yan'er's eyes lit up.

This group of Dacang Macaques was discovered inadvertently by Hua Wushang.

The last time the guards from the Crown Prince Mansion died in the Dacang Mountain, and the Grand Tutor passed away due to this tragedy, Hua Wushang then went to the Dacang Mountain.

He tamed this group of Dacang Macaques, but unfortunately, the most precious treasure of these macaques, the Monkey Wine, was stolen.

"I'll lend you this Jade Flute first, and in addition, I'll lend you a wisp of Wen Energy so you can temporarily control beasts. But it can only be ordinary beasts; if you encounter a spiritual beast capable of the Gathering Seal, don't even try, lest you be backlashed."

Hua Wushang said, raising his slender fingers, pointing to Nalan Yan'er's forehead.

Nalan Yan'er felt the Wenhua Seal heating up, and then she felt her six senses becoming much more acute.

"Try again."

Hua Wushang withdrew his hand.

Nalan Yan'er attempted to use the Blessing Technique once more.

This time, the Dacang Macaques before her did not attack her again.

Nalan Yan'er was ecstatic, as she could finally control this group of Dacang Macaques.

"I have truly become a Beast Control Master."

"Keep trying to control them for a few days, and then you can shock everyone at the Competition Among Ten Countries."

Consequently, Nalan Yan'er ordered the group of Dacang Macaques to patrol all around, and then use the Jade Flute to call them back.

Before long, Nalan Yan'er's eyes showed a strange expression.

"Somebody has entered the mountain. You would never guess who it is—it's really a small world."

A look of hatred appeared on her face.

"It's Feng Bailing and her son, along with her brother and Hong Xuan, Dongfang Yong, and others. They seem to have come to the mountain for training."

"What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing the name Feng Bailing, Hua Wushang maintained an unchanged expression.

"I want them never to return."

With the Dacang Macaque spies and underlings, it was easy to kill a few people in these vast mountains.

"If I were you, I would not provoke Feng Bailing and her son."

But Nalan Yan'er simply wouldn't listen.

She had already led the Dacang Macaques deep into the mountain, and the first person she wanted to deal with was Feng Bailing. Nalan Yan'er had long noticed Hua Wushang's partiality for Feng Bailing.

At the foot of the mountain, under the director's instructions, the five-person group split into five paths.

"There are five treasures I have left in the mountains. If you can find the one that belongs to you, you will be able to leave the mountain. If not, you will have to spend the remaining five days in the mountains. I should warn you, besides the notorious Dacang Macaque, there are many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts on the waist and foot of the mountain. Additionally, the terrain is very complex. You can only rely on yourselves for food and water. I will give you a survival manual which listed the corresponding treasures' names, and a Signal Arrow. If anyone is truly in danger, you can launch the Signal Arrow. However, the rescued person will lose the chance to obtain the treasures, and as a reward, the rescuer will get the treasure of the rescued."

After speaking, the director handed a manual to each of the five people.

Feng Bailing opened her manual and saw that it contained a lot of wilderness survival knowledge and the basic distribution of freshwater and food, as for the treasure she was supposed to find, it was a VIP Card for the Underworld Market.

"Bailing, Martial Arts and Literary Skill are not practical for you, so the treasure I'm giving you is a VIP Card for the Underworld Market. This card is scarce, with not more than a hundred across the Ten Countries, and will come in handy during the Competition Among Ten Countries," said the director with a smile.

Before Feng Bailing could ask what treasures the others were supposed to find, Dongfang Yong had already rushed into the mountains ahead of everyone else.
