Chapter 22 Special Abilities

stunned. His eyes were almost vacant as he stared at his master, apparently just as doubtful whether he had misheard.How could Master possibly let himself slap Qiao Rui"Hahaha!"A burst of laughter su...As Jiang Yun entered the Beast Circle, his scent pouch seemed to work its magic. The green-eyed wolves, who had been eyeing him hungrily, sniffed the air and immediately lost interest, returning to their lazy postures as before.

Jiang Yun ignored these azure wolves and walked straight to the cage, squatting down and looking at it carefully for a moment before his face darkened.

Although he didn't understand Taoism, Ginger Cloud had an incredibly rich experience when it came to knowledge of various beasts and plants. Even the most skilled hunters in Mang Mountain couldn't compare to him.

Originally, Jiang Yun thought that Lu Xiaoyu's wolf enclosure was unreliable, which allowed the Qingguang Wolf to bite through the cage and escape. However, seeing this iron cage and iron chains now, he realized that things were probably not as simple as they seemed.

As for the Azure Wolves, Jiang Yun was no stranger to them. He had once captured and studied them, so he knew very well that despite their ferocity, their teeth were not as sharp as people imagined. At least, they were absolutely incapable of biting through an iron chain forged from pure iron.

Moreover, the break in this iron shackle is incredibly smooth, with not a single tooth mark on its surface. It's clear that it was severed by some extremely sharp tool!

As a low-level ferocious beast, the Azure Wolf naturally wouldn't know how to use weapons. Therefore, it was easy for Jiang Yun to judge that this iron shackle was deliberately broken by humans.

This is the first paragraph.

That is to say, someone intentionally broke the iron chain and released the twenty-year-old blue-glowing wolf, allowing it to mingle with the pack.

The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to have Lu Xiaoyu take responsibility for the dereliction of duty and thereby be punished.

In addition, to enter the Beast Circle, one must understand the formation for entering the valley and wear a sachet. Therefore, Ginger Cloud can deduce that the person who broke the iron shackles must also belong to Baishou Peak.

There's even a high possibility that it was the inner sect disciple who gave the twenty-year-old Azure Wolf to Lu Xiaoyu!

Only Jiang Yun couldn't understand, why would this person go to such lengths to frame Lu Xiaoyu

Jian Yun couldn't help but glance back at Lu Xiaoyu, who was anxiously and worriedly watching from outside the beast enclosure. She really couldn't believe that she, at just twelve years old and naive to the world, could have attracted trouble so soon after entering the Wen Dao Sect.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun couldn't figure it out. He decided to put the doubt aside for now and wait to ask Lu Xiaoyu directly later. For now, the most important thing was to find that twenty-year-old green wolf.

Thinking this through, Jiang Yun finally stood up and walked towards the nearest green wolf.

This azure wolf was about two meters long, lying on the ground lazily. Its eyes were slightly narrowed, and it seemed oblivious to Jiang Yun's approach until Jiang Yun suddenly reached out and touched its body.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu's face changed drastically. Her mouth opened wide, and she almost cried out in surprise. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth with her hand, preventing herself from shouting. However, her face was full of panic and worry.

"I clearly told Jiangyun not to have any physical contact with the Qingguang Wolf, but why didn't he listen If he was bitten or even killed by the Qingguang Wolf, wouldn't I be responsible for my senior brother!"

Although anxious, without a fragrant pouch, Lu Xiaoyu didn't dare enter the beast enclosure. She could only stand outside nervously watching.

As Ginger Cloud's palm touched the Azure Wolf's body, the Azure Wolf's nostrils quivered, its eyes suddenly opened, two beams of fierce light shooting out. Its massive head turned abruptly, opening its blood-dripping maw and biting down fiercely on Ginger Cloud's palm!

However, at that moment, Jiang Yun muttered words in his mouth and widened his eyes suddenly!

At the same time, under the layer of clothing that covered his body, those hundreds of wounds trembled again, almost imperceptibly.

"Ouch!"

Something strange has happened!

The Azure Wolf, which had originally been preparing to attack Jiang Yun, shivered involuntarily under Jiang Yun's gaze. Not only did the ferocious light in its eyes disappear instantly, but its open mouth also hastily closed, replaced by a whimpering sound of appeasement. It allowed Jiang Yun's palm to rest on its body.

Even the remaining twenty Azure Wolves surrounding him involuntarily curled up their bodies, trembling uncontrollably, and didn't dare to look at Jiang Yun.

As everyone knows, living in a particular environment for a long time, each person will gradually develop some special smells on their body.

For example, warriors who have survived countless battles and butchers among men, they all carry a strong aura of killing intent and ferocity.

During his sixteen years in the Mang Mountains, Jiang Yun had slain countless ferocious beasts. Over time, a bloody aura developed on his body that even ferocious beasts feared.

This kind of aura, most humans might be unable to sense, but beasts are extremely sensitive to it.

However, because this aura was too strong and could be felt by ferocious beasts even from afar, they would avoid it. So Jiang Wanli taught Jiang Yun a small incantation to restrain his aura. As long as he recited it silently, he could suppress the powerful energy.

This is also why Ginger Cloud doesn't need a sachet.

Now Gingercloud unleashed her own aura, which spread out like a raging flood, overwhelming the scent of the sachet and instantly filling the entire enclosure.

These twenty-one Azure Wolves couldn't bear such terrifying bloodlust, so they all huddled together, not daring to move.

Next, Jiang Yun began to run his palms over the bodies of these blue-light wolves one by one.

Mammals, including humans, undergo gradual changes in their bones as they age.

As a pharmacist, when concocting some elixirs, I have extremely strict requirements for the age of the materials.

The age of a plant can be determined by looking, smelling, and tasting it. However, the age of a beast's bones cannot be determined in this way unless the beast is killed and its bones are extracted. But that would be too much trouble.

Moreover, sometimes all that was needed was some fur from the beast, and there was no need to kill it at all. Therefore, over time, Jiang Yun developed a special skill—touching bones!

Through bone-reading, he could clearly discern the ages of various ferocious beasts.

In just a short moment, Jiang Yun found the twenty-year-old Qingguang wolf. He lightly patted its head and pointed with his finger at the broken cage. The Qingguang wolf obediently walked into the cage itself.

When Jiang Yun emerged from the beast enclosure carrying a cage, Lu Xiaoyu immediately rushed towards him with an excited and incredulous expression. "Senior Brother Jiang, I was terrified just now! I thought those Azure Light Wolves would have eaten you. Thankfully, you're alright. But Senior Brother, how did you do it Those Azure Light Wolves seemed to be afraid of you!"

"This is all thanks to the sachet you gave me, here you go!" Jiang Yun casually brushed it off with a smile as she returned the sachet to Lu Xiaoyou.

Seeing Lü Xiuyu put the sachet away, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment before asking, "Have you offended anyone while you were in this Zhoudao Sect"

"Offended someone" Lu Xiaoyu was clearly taken aback by the question, taking a long while to shake her head. "After I entered Wudao Sect, I was assigned here to raise Qingguang Wolves. All day, I either cultivated or interacted with them. I haven't even met a few people, let alone offended anyone. Senior Brother Jiang, why do you ask that"

Jiang Yun could tell that Lu Xiaoyu was telling the truth. After hesitating, she decided not to reveal the truth to her, so as not to worry her. So she smiled and said: "It's nothing, just casually asking! After all, we are new disciples, unfamiliar with the place and people. We should be careful in our actions, lest we do something wrong and accidentally provoke someone, then it would be troublesome."

"Mhm!" Lu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly. "My grandfather told me the same thing, to just focus on cultivation here and not worry about anything else. Senior Brother Jiang, you can rest assured, I won't go looking for trouble!"

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "That's great! Well, since we found the wolf, you're fine now. I'll be going. If you run into any more trouble, feel free to come find me at Zangfeng anytime!"

Although Gingercloud knew that someone must be framing Lu Xiaoyu, as a lowly disciple, she had no way to help. All she could do was hope Lu Xiaoyu would be more careful.

Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly nodded to Jiang Yun and said, "Good, Senior Brother Jiang, thank you so much this time! If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know what to do! I'll send you out of the valley!"

After leaving the valley, Jiang Yun waved to Lu Xiaoyu and then turned to walk towards the library pavilion.

However, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head abruptly, and a short, stout man in gray clothes hurriedly shifted his gaze away from him and swiftly disappeared into the valley.ertainly now on guard against us. No matter which one we attack, the other two will inevitably rush to the rescue as quickly as possible."If we're going to fight, let's make it count and give them a t...
