Qin Yichen obviously would not feel at ease letting such a monster follow him.
However, he was not absolutely confident in dealing with this monster right now.
Because, no matter how the monster pretended, Qin Yichen didn’t see any fear in its eyes, only… curiosity.
Yes, this monster was curious about him.
“Could it be the Beast Soul that attracted it?”
Qin Yichen touched the Beast Soul in his bosom, becoming even more vigilant.
He was planning to use this Beast Soul when breaking through to the Spirit Realm.
“Don’t follow me, or else, hmph!” Qin Yichen flashed his Spirit Sword in front of it, then slowly turned around to continue exploring.
The monster’s eyes clearly showed disdain for his threat, as it still followed far behind Qin Yichen, watching him hunt down Death Spirits.
At first, Qin Yichen was a bit uneasy, but after several instances when he was in a difficult situation with Death Spirits and the monster did not take advantage of him, he gradually relaxed his vigilance.
Perhaps it really had no ill intentions towards him.
*Howl…* When Qin Yichen looked at it again, the monster howled at him, then wagged its tail and slowly walked towards another direction. As it walked, it kept looking back, signalling Qin Yichen to follow.
After hesitating several times, Qin Yichen finally followed behind it, wanting to see what it was up to.
This was a ruined palace. The steps, pillars, and even murals were all very elaborate, but too broken and incomplete. Due to how aged it was, Qin Yichen could not make out much.
The monster stood at the entrance. Seeing Qin Yichen follow, it turned its head and entered the palace.
Qin Yichen first carefully used his Spiritual Energy to probe, and after confirming there were no Death Spirits nearby, he walked up the steps.
The inside of the palace was even more dilapidated, with several large pits. The unknown God Statue above the palace had also collapsed, with rubble scattered everywhere.
The monster was standing where the God Statue originally stood.
Qin Yichen approached and his pupils suddenly dilated.
What did he just see…
A ground full of Spirit Pearls!
All sizes, every kind imaginable. There were even several large ones that obviously could not belong to black haired Death Spirits.
“Spirit Realm Spirit Pearls?!” Qin Yichen was shocked. [Could it be that this seemingly unremarkable monster can actually hunt down Spirit Realm Death Spirits!?]
He turned his gaze to the monster, which was sitting there, clumsily wagging its tail.
“You want to… give these to me?” Qin Yichen could not help but swallow. If he refined all these hundreds of Spirit Pearls, his Spiritual Energy would have a chance to break through to the Spirit Realm. At that time, he would fear no one here!
The monster cried out to Qin Yichen, seemingly expressing its intention.
Qin Yichen was shocked. At the same time, he could not understand why this monster would give these to him. [Could it be that it does not need Spirit Pearls?]
He saw the disdain for these Spirit Pearls in the monster’s eyes.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll take them!” Accepting the Spirit Pearls naturally meant allowing it to follow him.
Qin Yichen sat right there and began refining the Spirit Pearls.
The monster was nearby, like a guard, but when it looked at Qin Yichen, it was full of curiosity.
Any creature knew that Dragons were supreme!
Regardless of how many years have passed, where people of this world have long forgotten the existence of Dragons, even believing that Dragons were just fictional, non-existent tales.
Nevertheless, right now, this monster could genuinely sense the supreme majesty of a ‘Dragon’ from Qin Yichen.
Time ticked by…
Qin Yichen’s Knowledge Sea trembled, as if a Phoenix cry was resonating with it. With great ease, Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy cultivation broke through to the second level of Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm. Even so, he did not stop. Instead, he continued to refine Spirit Pearls.
This scene caught the monster in surprise… It wondered why this guy was not afraid of having his Knowledge Sea explode?
However, it saw that after breaking through to the second level of Peak Martial Grandmaster, Qin Yichen actually picked up one more Spirit Realm Spirit Pearls.
He originally wanted to stop him, but Qin Yichen had already started refining.
The impact of the Spirit Realm Spirit Pearl made Qin Yichen’s face slightly red, veins popping on his forehead, obviously putting him under immense strain.
In his Knowledge Sea, the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Realm Spirit Pearl was like a tsunami, surging violently, seeming to want to flatten everything inside.
Under such an impact, the Divine Soul Bead also flickered.
Qin Yichen gritted his teeth, fully operating the Spirit God Technique. A vortex slowly appeared, drawing everything into it, slowly starting to spin.
The vortex was like a black hole, devouring everything. Even the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Realm Spirit Pearl would still be slowly drawn in, then turned into power for the vortex, making it spin more powerfully, which also increased its suction force.
Gradually, Qin Yichen’s Knowledge Sea calmed down again.
However, the Divine Soul Bead in the centre of his Knowledge Sea became brighter, its light dazzling, illuminating the entire Knowledge Sea.
“My Spiritual Energy cultivation is now equivalent to the third level of Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm!” Qin Yichen took a deep breath.
This breakthrough had not been easy. If it were not for his Spirit God Technique, plus his amazing control and mastery over Spiritual Energy, any other person facing such pressure would definitely have their Divine Soul Bead shattered and Knowledge Sea split.
After all, that was the impact of Spirit Realm Spiritual Energy.
Just as Qin Yichen was about to continue refining, his ears suddenly twitched and he opened his eyes, “Someone’s coming!”
He quickly swept the remaining Spirit Pearls into his bosom, then saw a beautiful figure and an elderly figure flying over.
It was Bian Lingzhu from the Bian family and the Spirit Realm expert following her!
Bian Lingzhu’s gaze swept the surroundings, seeming to be looking for something. Soon, she discovered Qin Yichen not far away, and a trace of surprise flashed in her charming eyes.
She had some impression of Qin Yichen. She just had not expected him to really enter the Death Zone alone, and even arrive here before her.
“Spiritual Energy at the third level of Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm!?” Upon closer observation, Bian Lingzhu was greatly shocked once again.
This young man who clearly looked a few years younger than herself had Spiritual Energy on par with her own!?
How was this possible!?
She was the recognized Alchemy Prodigy of the Bian Family. From a young age, she enjoyed many resources from the Bian Family, and had famous teachers guiding her. The Bian Family had also paid a great price to invite a Master from the Alchemy Tower to teach her for three days. That was how she achieved her current level.
Yet, now, a young man wearing hemp clothes had attained a level similar to her own. How could she accept this!?
She began to wonder which Family had secretly cultivated this young man before her.
“Miss Bian is indeed fast.” Just as she was about to inquire, a voice came over, making her stop in her tracks.
