Chapter 552: Chapter 284: This is My Spiritual Pet_2

He couldn’t possibly let other cultivators know that he, the Eastern Sect Master, also owned a Lightning Mink, otherwise he would invite suspicions from those with ill intentions.

After all, his true body had adopted a Lightning Mink in the Liu Yun Sect, a fact known to quite a number of cultivators.

Zhi Ling obediently nodded and cast a Divine Intent towards Lin Yi, “Master, be careful.”

As a Lightning Mink, it could sense the familiar scent of its kind, a scent that called family, bringing back distant memories.

All the way here, it knew that its kin seemed to have run into some trouble, which is why it had offered a word of caution.

“Don’t worry, your master is now invincible in the world.” Lin Yi patted its head and put it in the Spirit Pet Column, then flew forward at full speed, arriving above the fighting scene.

There was less than a hundred miles left between here and the edge of the Monster Forest. With the speed of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, crossing this distance was a matter of moments.

His powerful Divine Sense had already thoroughly surveyed the situation below. One of the Lightning Minks, a male, had a cultivation level of the Bone Refining Initial Stage, likely having just entered it in the last few decades.

The other Lightning Mink, a female, was at the Late Golden Core Stage, but it seemed to have sustained damage to its vitality, not appearing to be a result of today’s battle.

In that case, his guess was correct. This Lightning Mink had probably given birth to cubs less than half a year ago and its vitality had not yet recovered.

Whether a Monster Beast or a cultivator, one’s vitality is damaged when giving birth, and the stronger one’s realm, the greater the loss of vitality.

Because for a cultivator with a strong realm, conceiving a child is a very difficult task. Once successful, the newborn will absorb a large amount of nutrition for growth and inherit some spiritual roots.

There were three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, two at initial stage, and one at mid stage. Their coordination was seamless, no wonder they could keep two Lightning Minks chasing for so long without any results.

Even though the speed of a Lightning Mink is several times faster than cultivators at the same realm, the cultivators have more Divine Skills than Monster Beasts.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the edge of the Monster Forest, Lin Yi did not hesitate anymore, releasing his powerful aura and stopping in the front.

The title he was wearing now was not the [Survival King], but its corresponding title [I’m Done Pretending, I’m Showing My Cards].

The function of the Survival Path title is to hide the cultivation level and reduce Hatred Value and Presence.

But the Show-Your-Cards title can increase the shown cultivation level, presence will increase, but it also gives extra damage.

After reaching the [Survival King] title, Lin Yi found that he could freely control the level of cultivation concealment. Now the concealment is at the 10th level, his actual cultivation level is the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the revealed cultivation level is the Golden Core First Layer, which can be adjusted as needed.

In the meantime, the degree to which the Show-Your-Cards title increases the revealed cultivation level also became controllable.

If he couldn’t control it, his real cultivation level of the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, plus ten levels, would be the Divinity Transformation stage.

Now, he wore the Show-Your-Card title and controlled the displayed realm to Nascent Soul Great Perfection to ensure the smooth resolution of the matter.

When the Invincible East first debuted, the Nascent Soul’s first-level cultivation was purposely maintained to keep a sense of mystery.

Feeling the sudden appearance of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection aura, the expressions of the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs changed, “The Daoist friend ahead, could you reveal your identity? We are from the Xuan Qing Sect and Xuan Yu Sect affiliated to Dao Ling Zong. There are Monster Beasts chasing behind us, we hope you could lend us a hand, and will certainly repay you generously.”

Those two Lightning Minks, upon sensing the powerful aura, had a drastic change in expression, and chased with increasing urgency.

Lin Yi’s laughter resonated through the forest, “My two Daoist friends, your actions this time are a bit too much, aren’t they? You said before that the Lightning Mink cub born this time would be handed over to me to be a spiritual pet, but why have you reneged and given it to someone else?”

Hearing the words, a touch of surprise appeared on the faces of the two Lightning Minks. Although they weren’t sure of his purpose, he most likely wasn’t an enemy.

If he, like these others, also wanted the Lightning Mink cub, there would be no need for him to speak such nonsense with his Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivation level.

The three Nascent Soul True Lords’ expressions abruptly changed, their hearts filled with unease. Could these two Lightning Minks really have made an agreement with another Nascent Soul True Lord?

The True Lord at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t make fun, fellow Daoist. We don’t know anything about a Lightning Mink cub. We just stole some Spirit Grass, and they pursued us. You should ask them for the cub.”

To catch this cub, they exhausted all their schemes and even asked an Artifact Refining master at the Nascent Soul Realm to specially make a Spirit Pet Bag that could hide all traces of it. Any Spiritual Pet placed into it wouldn’t emit any trace, even to someone at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

“Do you think I crossed the entire Monster Forest just to joke around with you?” Lin Yi’s figure flashed, instantly appearing before the three. Dressed in a red robe, he exuded a bewitchingly dangerous aura.

He emanated a powerful aura, with dark chilly flames appearing around him. Above in the sky, thunder and lightning began to gather, “I am Invincible East from the Heng Yuan Realm Sun and Moon Divine Sect, leave the spiritual pet and I might spare you.

Seeing Lin Yi in his red robes, and the powerful aura he emitted, their faces drastically changed. Heng Yuan Realm Sun and Moon Divine Sect, this Invincible East, could he be the Eastern Sect Master rumored in the Wan You Sect?

The rumors suggested that the Eastern Sect Master was invincible in the world, unbeatable, and could easily kill a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator.

If the rumors were true, the three of them combined would not be able to withstand even a single stroke from him.

At this point, they had come to believe in the agreement between the Eastern Sect Master and the two Lightning Minks, otherwise, a Nascent Soul Great Perfection from the Heng Yuan Realm would not have crossed the Monster Forest to pursue them all the way here.

However, their hearts were unwilling to accept this. They had invested a great deal of effort and cost in capturing this cub, and now that they were about to reach Xuan Tian Realm, were they expected to hand it over just like that?

“How can you prove that you have an agreement with them?” A cultivator at the initial stage of Nascent Soul couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Yi remained expressionless, swinging out a stroke of Sword Qi. The cultivator couldn’t react in time and all his defensive measures instantly shattered. The Sword Qi severed his head, “Your corpse is the best proof.”

Seeing the domineering attitude of the Eastern Sect Master, the remaining two Nascent Soul True Lords looked at each other and hurriedly spoke out: “Eastern Daoist friend, please forgive our recklessness. It was purely accidental. This Spirit Pet Bag holds your Lightning Mink. I will give it back to you.”

“If you dare to touch my spirit pet with your hand, you will be wiped out instantly.” Lin Yi spoke coldly.

Hearing his words, the True Lord at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul saw his fingers tremble slightly. He quickly brought up his Spiritual Power to send the Spirit Pet Bag flying towards Lin Yi. “Eastern Daoist friend, we have returned your spiritual pet, please spare our lives.”

Lin Yi checked the Lightning Mink cub in the Spirit Pet Bag. Unlike Zhi Ling, this cub carried a strong Lightning Mink Bloodline, but its intensity was much less than Zhi Ling’s .

He nodded, “You can go now.”

“Thank you, Daoist friend.” The two Nascent Soul True Lords saluted with their fists hanging in the air and quickly started to leave with their beheaded friend.

Lin Yi did not stop them. That stroke of Sword Qi only severed his head, and did not use dry yellow Spiritual Power to cut off his life. Therefore, he could still be useful.

Because his Eye of Emptiness did not detect any black evil aura on this person, he decided to spare his life.

If it was the Wan You Sect’s crowd, he would not have been so polite.

As he watched the trio leave, Lin Yi turned his head and saw the parents of Zhi Ling. On their foreheads were distinct lightning marks. It seemed like Zhi Ling had inherited her mother’s genes and looked cute and obedient.

But her father seemed a bit rough around the edges.

Two Lightning Minks blocked Lin Yi’s path on each side, their eyes firmly locked on the Spirit Pet Bag in his hand.
