Hearing the word “Zhi Ling,” Fire Feather urged Lin Yi, eager to see this old friend after so many years.

“Let’s go then.” Lin Yi put Fire Feather into the Spirit Pet Bag and teleported to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

Seeing his master return so quickly, Zhi Ling happily ran towards him.

“Zhi Ling, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes first,” Lin Yi said with a smile, patting Zhi Ling’s head.

Zhi Ling’s eyes lit up with anticipation. He squeaked a few words, then closed his eyes.

However, unable to contain his curiosity, he secretly peeked through his eyelashes.

“Close your eyes, no cheating. Otherwise, I won’t give it to you,” Lin Yi spotted Zhi Ling’s little move and sternly said.

Zhi Ling snorted indignantly and covered his eyes with his paw.

Only then did Lin Yi take Fire Feather out of the Spirit Pet Bag, hinting for him to stay calm and silent.

However, Fire Feather’s bond with Zhi Ling was stronger than any hint Lin Yi could give. The moment Fire Feather emerged from the Spirit Pet Bag, he spread his wings and hugged the tiny Zhi Ling.

Zhi Ling felt himself being engulfed in a warm embrace. The scent wasn’t like his master’s, yet it was strikingly familiar. He quickly opened his eyes. His face showed sheer excitement.

Zhi Ling started chattering away, tightly hugging Fire Feather’s leg, as if asking where he had been all these years.

Seeing this, the Golden Ape who was standing aside, grumbled and flopped onto the ground. He had originally thought that Lin Yi had revealed Fire Feather for a roast.

Seeing the reunion of the two friends after so many years, Lin Yi himself felt touched. When they first met, he was only in the Qi Refining Realm and Zhi Ling hadn’t awakened any of his bloodlines back then.

Now, he had achieved the Golden Core, even going as far as to eliminate Master of Bi Hai, a senior figure in the Late Golden Core Stage.

Zhi Ling had now awakened two bloodlines. Compared to the present Fire Feather, Zhi Ling would only be stronger.

Fire Spirit Birds were a rather common Fire element spirit beast, while Lightning Minks were rare. The stronger the bloodline, the faster the Cultivation Speed.

Lin Yi placed a bottle of Healing Pills in the Medicine Garden and gave instructions to the two little creatures.

“Zhi Ling, stay here and play with Fire Feather, but make sure he’s well-rested. Fire Feather, take one pill from this bottle every day.”

Both Zhi Ling and Fire Feather nodded heavily upon his instruction, Zhi Ling even ran up to Lin Yi and gave him a salute with his little paw, as if to thank him for the surprise.

Lin Yi rubbed Zhi Ling’s head, seeing the mopey Golden Ape sitting at the side, he tried to hold back a laugh, “Little Ape, have some dried meat first. I still have matters to attend to. I won’t forget about roasting meat for you.”

Seeing an entire Storage Bag filled with dried meat, the Golden Ape finally grinned in delight, waved his hand, “You can go deal with your stuff, I’ll be waiting.”

Lin Yi teleported back to the Lake Heart Cave Mansion and found Pill Immortal Master on the highest peak, preparing tea, seemingly waiting for his story.

He approached, giving a fist-and-palm salute, “Disciple pays respect to Master.”

“No need for formalities. Sit and share the tea and your story,” Zhang Dao Xuan gestured to the chair opposite him, trying to make him feel at ease with a warm smile.

Lin Yi sat down and began, “Master, are there individuals in the Cultivation World who specifically hunt down cultivators who have succeeded the Creation Method?”

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhang Dao Xuan’s face changed slightly, “Oh, so this kind of thing is happening. I have almost all of the original master’s memories, but I did not encounter anyone who has comprehended the Mysteries of Creation during my cultivation journey.”

“Moreover, I spent most of my time cultivating and studying Alchemy Dao, rather than networking in the outside world.”

After pondering for a moment, he started to analyze, “Considering your examples, it seems like cultivators who have achieved the Creation Method really do gain more power than ordinary cultivators.”

“Moreover, the chance of realizing the great Dao in the future will also be greater. The appearance of the hunter is probably due to someone coveting the mysteries of the Creation Method, or it could be a hunting plan carried out by the enemies of the Creation Method Sect.”

Lin Yi nodded, “This is my guess too. There must be an organization behind them. Now, let me explain to you in detail about the Red Lotus Fire State.”

He talked about his entering the Red Lotus Fire State, arriving at the place where Fire Fierce died, continuing forward, finding the crimson feathers, then meeting Master of Bi Hai.

After hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Zhang Dao Xuan’s face, “I didn’t expect that this hunter is actually your Sect Uncle, he has been silent and unknown, really it’s hard to know what people truly think.”

Lin Yi also echoed sentimentally, “Yes, Master, sometimes the greatest danger is hidden right next to us.”

“Moreover, there’s too little information about the Creation Method. I have previously looked at some of the ancient books of the Liu Yun Sect and found no trace of the hunter.”

If he found even a single word or phrase, he would not have easily exposed his practice of the Creation Method.

Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head, “It’s because there are too few people who can understand the mysteries of the Creation Method, leading to the hunters rarely having the opportunity to act, therefore leaving no information behind.”

Then, Lin Yi also told Zhang Dao Xuan about the ancient hidden sect in the Immortal Realm mentioned by Master of Bi Hai, the Creation Divine Sect.

Zhang Dao Xuan pondered for a moment and then said, “The information he shared may not be accurate, and it may not necessarily be false, it could be half true and half false.”

“If you rise to the Upper Realm and ascend into the Immortal Realm, do not believe anyone who claims to be from the Creation Divine Sect.”

Lin Yi smiled wryly, “Master, I have already been attacked by my Sect Uncle. In the future, I will definitely be more careful.”

Although he still trusts his Master Golden Sword and his Senior Brother Yun Feng in Liu Yun Sect, he will definitely be on guard.

Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle, and waved his hand, “You don’t need to be too sensitive. These hunters must act individually; the entire sect cannot be assassins.”

“What happened after that? His leading you into the Red Lotus Fire Field, I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

“My Sect Uncle probably feared killing me himself would leave clues, so he chose to use the Red Lotus fire. He got a strand of Purple Flame Divine Fire just like our Master, which he refined into the feathers…”

Lin Yi, without any omission, told Zhang Dao Xuan about everything that happened afterward, including him attracting the Red Lotus fire with the Mysterious Elixir Flame, swallowing Master of Bi Hai, and attacking the Red Lotus fire from the inside with the Mysterious Elixir Flame.

After hearing Lin Yi’s story, a look of astonishment appeared on Zhang Dao Xuan’s face, “The Elixir Flame you obtained, which cannot regenerate, is extremely mysterious. More importantly, you have complete control over it.”

“In that case, in the future, if this Red Lotus fire assimilates with the Elixir Flame, you might be able to control and tame the Red Lotus fire by controlling the Elixir Flame.”

“I also have such a guess. However, what happens in the future is unpredictable.” Lin Yi nodded. He made this judgment based on his Predict Crisis ability. Whether he could control the Red Lotus fire was still uncertain.

After listening to the story, Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but feel emotional, “Your journey in the Red Lotus Fire State was indeed extraordinary. The hunter, the Red Lotus fire, everything happening one after another… It was thrilling yet safe.”

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t help you while you were in the Secret Realm. I have been concentrating on Cultivation and researching Alchemy Dao. I have no interest in establishing any Sect force.”

Lin Yi poured a cup of tea for Zhang Dao Xuan and handed it to him, “Master, you have helped me a lot by making the Secret Realm a haven for me.”

“Moreover, now that I am a Golden Core Real Person, I can handle things on my own. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Zhang Dao Xuan nodded, “That’s true. With your current strength, unless an old monster of Primordial Infant takes action, others can’t harm you at all.”

He picked up the teacup, gulped down the tea all at once and waved his hand, “Alright, now that the story is finished, you should go. After all, with the death of a Golden Core Real Person in Liu Yun Sect, there will definitely be changes.”

Next, he instructed, “When you go out, you need to erase the traces of practicing the Creation Method as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Master, I will go back first.” Lin Yi bowed his fist and grabbed the Teleportation Mantra, returning to the Golden Sword Peak Cave Mansion. For now, Zhi Ling would stay in the Secret Realm. As for Fire Feather, it probably couldn’t appear inside the Liu Yun Sect anymore.

Because Master of Bi Hai died in the Red Lotus Fire State and Fire Fierce also perished, if he appeared with Fire Feather, it might cause others to speculate and guess.
