After making the decision, Lin Yi stepped out of the cave mansion with Zhi Ling. During his retreat, this little guy also followed, earnestly cultivating his bloodline power.
Monster Beasts can also absorb nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation, providing they possess bloodline power, which enables them to inherit their ancestors’ cultivation techniques in their bloodline.
Many low-level monster beasts that have not awakened their bloodline can only enhance their abilities by devouring flesh and blood.
Before awakening his bloodline, Zhi Ling was not able to sense the dense spiritual energy within the cave mansion and naturally couldn’t absorb or cultivate it. Thus, this monster’s bloodline is akin to humans’ spiritual roots.
The richness of the bloodline is equivalent to the grade of spiritual roots.
Based on Zhi Ling’s speed and efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy, Lin Yi felt that he should have only awakened a part of the bloodline of the Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink, not reaching a particularly dense state, likely equivalent to lower-grade spiritual roots.
And it made sense, after all, a couple thousand Virtue Points wouldn’t directly allow Zhi Ling to awaken the pure bloodline of the Ancient Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink.
However, this made him certain that there was a significant chance he could allow Zhi Ling to continue awakening his bloodline in the future, accumulatively.
While looking at the Beast Records, he found that in a time before the ancient era, there was apparently a powerful Monster Beast called the Devouring Heavens Ferret, which could create a space inside its body, capable of swallowing an entire world.
This reminded him of the tale from the Huaxia legend on Earth about the Four Generals of the Demon Clan, later canonized as the Four Heavenly Kings. Among them, the Ma Lijou owned a Purple-gold Flower Fox Mink, which could turn into a white elephant with wings on his ribs and devour people when released into the sky.
Unfortunately, after swallowing a cultivator of the Eight-nine Mysteries Art and achieving physical sanctification, Yang Jian squeezed its heart and forced his expanded body out of the Mink, tearing it into two halves.
Although this Devouring Heavens Ferret was even more powerful than the Flower Fox Mink, it was unknown whether there were any in Zhi Ling’s ancestry.
After stepping out of the cave mansion, Lin Yi saw Qiu Sheng Hai, who had been taking care of the medicine fields and was now resting. He smiled and said: “Brother Qiu, you’ve worked hard.”
Seeing Lin Yi come out, Qiu Sheng Hai had a flash of inspiration in his eyes, comforting him: “Junior Brother Lin, you’ve come out of retreat, don’t be disheartened, with a bit more cultivation you’ll definitely break through to the 8th layer.”
Lin Yi respectfully responded: “Brother Qiu, I intend to do just that. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to watch over things for a few more days. I’m heading to Tian Yun City to rent a cave mansion and use the rich spiritual energy to assist with my breakthrough.”
“This is indeed a good method, the rich spiritual energy will really help with breakthroughs. Go ahead, I’ll take care of the medicine field,” Qiu Sheng Hai nodded. Many people take pills during their breakthrough to use the potent pharmaceutical energy to help, same concept as renting a cave mansion.
“Thank you, Brother Qiu.” Lin Yi bowed, then slowly departed with Zhi Ling on his shoulder.
Qiu Sheng Hai spotted Zhi Ling and curiously asked, “I didn’t notice last time, but why is there a talisman paper sticking on the forehead of this little purple mink?”
“Ahem, it got injured while playing around, so I put a talisman on it to protect the wound,” Lin Yi explained with a cough.
Actually, the little creature wasn’t completely able to control the bloodline power within its body and often unintentionally releases illusive light, so Lin Yi temporarily sealed it with a talisman paper.
“I see. Junior Brother Lin, head on to Tian Yun City then, and good luck with your breakthrough.” Qiu Sheng Hai nodded, not noticing the change in Zhi Ling’s aura after awakening its bloodline.
Lin Yi controlled his flying boat, put Zhi Ling in his pocket, and headed
towards Tian Yun Xian City. There were seven months left until the second
opening of Dan God Secret Realm.
It’s estimated that the Secret Realm quota competition held by the Ten Major Sects would end soon.
He heard that a battlefield was created on the mountain where the Dan God Secret Realm descended. All Golden Core Real People of Ten Major Sects exhibited their power and set up a fighting stage. Many Inner Sect Disciples went to watch the competition.
Three disciples selected by Cloud Sect for this fight included one from the
Golden Sword Lineage and two others. One of them is a direct disciple of Sect Master Green Jade. The other one is a disciple of the sect’s second strongest, Divine Fire Zen Ren.
Lin Yi earnestly hoped that Cloud Sect could win this competition for obtaining more quotas. The more quotas they got, the greater chances for him to enter the Dan God Secret Realm.
After the competition ended, the quota distribution of the Eleven Peaks of Golden Pill would be determined based on the contributions and rankings of the three competing participants and the Grand Sect Competition.
Once the quotas were distributed, each peak would commence the elimination round to select the best contender for the quota to enter the Secret Realm. If the rumored challenges in the Dan God Secret Realm indeed included taking care of Spirit Grass,
Then the selection method for the quota would surely include farming practices and caring for spirit grass. Only in this way would he have a chance to enter the cave mansion, aiding Cloud Sect and Golden Core Peak to obtain more treasures.
As for this, Lin Yi was not overly worried, as his high-level farming spells were nearly reaching the Great Perfect Level having spent more than two years cultivating.
The method to upgrade farming practices was quite simple. Using it once would increase experience by one point. As long as there was enough spiritual power, the level could be boosted through continuous use.
However, increasing cultivation levels wasn’t as easy due to the continuous expansion and breakthrough of the meridians in the body and the constant increase in the circulation time of spiritual energy in the body..
