Chapter 687 - The Club Tailed Lizard Has Something To Say

Lin Wu looked at his subject, who he hadn't talked with much over the years.

He had let her stay here in the end and accepted her as she was at the Nascent soul realm. And every additional nascent soul realm beast was useful to him and the power that he was growing.

And while he might not admit it to the others, the five Juvenile Club Tailed Lizards were to Lin Wu's liking too. He would sometime watch them play over the Monitoring screens, serving as some entertainment while he was bored.

Of course, that was not the only reason he had. There was also the fact that the five Juvenile Club Tailed Lizards were mutated with his bloodline by birth and were possibly the first beasts properly born from the bloodline's descent.

They could be considered Lin Wu's closest kin, even closer than his servant beasts. After all, while they had the Emeraldine Legion Bloodline, it was implanted within them while the Juvenile Club Tailed Lizards were born with it.

Even the system had predictions that the Juvenile Club Tailed Lizards had a high potential for the future. Lin Wu wanted to nurture them and see how they would grow out to be.

They would be his… 'Ideal Test subjects'. 

After all, his own bloodlines were a bit of a mystery and while the Juvenile Club Tailed Lizards didn't have the unknown bloodline fully, there were still traces of it mixed with the Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm Bloodline in them.

Lin Wu would see the changes in his own body as he grew in his cultivation base, but having the system analyze and scan other subjects would increase the speed of comprehension even more and give better results in predicting.

Seeing her stay behind, Lin Wu wondered what she had to say.

"I… No… the kids… they found something. At first, I was not sure if it was something worth your time, but I think it's better if you see it." The Club Tailed Lizard spoke.

"Oh? What is it?" Lin Wu asked, feeling curious.

He knew the Juvenile Club Tailed Lizards liked to sneak out, but them finding something important was unexpected to him.

The Club Tailed Lizard tilted her body and from between her spikes fell out a small object.

~Clink~

It hit the ground, making a crisp sound. Lin Wu looked at it and found it to be some kind of a metal girdle. But the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. 

'This thing… it can stop my spirit sense?' Lin Wu was surprised.

~shua~

The Metal girdle floated up under the control of Lin Wu and came to float in front of him. 

"System, scan this." Lin Wu ordered, certainly finding it unique in design.

While it looked to be made out of a single piece of metal, it was not so. Looking closely, Lin Wu could tell that there were two types of metals that were twisted together before being model like this.

~Ding~

——

SCANNER: Activated

TARGET SELECTED: Unknown Metal Girdle 

SCANNING: Please wait a moment…

SCAN ERROR: Target cannot be scanned, deflective materials detected.

"Now this is interesting…" Lin Wu said.

By now Lin Wu had learned very well that anything that could prevent the system's scan was either important, complex, powerful, dangerous and mysterious. Sometimes all five at the same time.

His instincts were also a bit honed than before and he could at least tell that the metal girdle didn't seem to be dangerous. He couldn't even feel any passive spirit Qi fluctuations coming from it, which was something that most objects that the system was unable to scan still emitted.

"See if you can find anything matching its appearance in the data bank and store it in the inventory for the time being." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

OBJECT STORED: Unknown Metal girdle

INVENTORY: Pink Women's underwear, Unknown Metal girdle.

——

Lin Wu had done another thing in the past few days, which was something pending for a long time. He had cleared out his inventory that had quite literally been filled with dirt, rocks, junk, and scrap.

Looking at the notification, Lin Wu conveniently ignored a certain other object that he had left behind. It was now a memento and Lin Wu would keep it for years to come… until there was a right time to use it.

"Is it something important, King Lin Wu?" The Club Tailed Lizard asked.

"Yes… you could say that. Thank you for bringing this to my attention." Lin Wu replied.

"O-of course… this is the least I can do." The Club Tailed Lizard hurriedly spoke. "I won't take any more of your time then, my king." She said before turning around to leave.

"Wait," But Lin Wu interrupted her before that.

"Yes?" She asked, feeling a bit startled.

"You said your children found that thing, right?" Lin Wu asked.

"Yes, they did last week, when they… went out." She said, choosing her words appropriately.

~clack~ clack~ Clack~

"Take these then." Lin Wu said, creating five small crystals from his body. 

"Huh?" The Club Tailed Lizard was confused singe Lin Wu's actions.

"Give these to the five. It should help them grow." Lin Wu explained.

The Club Tailed Lizard of course, knew what these were. Almost all of Lin Wu's subordinates and servants had seen him using his crystals to feed Tim. While no other beast had eaten it, or was given such crystal, their senses could very well tell the dense spirit Qi and vitality that was contained within them.

It was safe to say, that these crystals were nothing less than those pills that the human alchemists made. The Club Tailed lizard had the opportunity to consume a few of those pills and knew just how strong they could be.

"But won't this be too much?" The Club Tailed Lizard said, finding it a bit too opulent.

"It'll be fine. I want to see how much they can grow from this, too." Lin Wu stated. "Take it as a, Hmm… test.. Yeah, a test for the five kids."
