I recommend Mao Mountain: Becoming a Saint from the Guardian General Stage to you. The main character of this book was a Mao Mountain disciple. He had activated the body refinement mode and became a violent guardian. He had a Qilin by his side as a mount, and he had also subdued other divine beasts as pets. And his boss was an important figure in each sect. During the battle, he had been protecting Yue Fei. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
