"B-Boss, that wench did this!"A gasp rang in the wilderness. Surrounding a crackling campfire, a group of four individuals sat next to each other while chatting and having a lively discussion. They had their camps set up next to a wooden carriage with a horse tied next to it. The group wasn't far from the road and in a distance, like a dark, shadowy beast, the group could observe a forest.Setting up a campfire in a spirit forest is always dangerous so the group had settled outside the forest. Out of the four individuals, one of them was a woman with short black hair and a set of light green eyes. Her most distinguishing feature, however, was her thick eyebrows. Next to her, hugging her waist a thin youth with a pleasant smile. His pale skin was basked in the light of the campfire."Say aaaahhhh!" The man paid no attention to the third individual complaining to a burly man and picked a piece of tofu over a large leaf and brought it close to the woman's lips."Aaahmmm!" The woman gigg
'One... two... three... four, and five.'Chen looked one from the thin gap of his carriage. Now, aside from his spirit energy which was stuck at the bottleneck of rank 10, his physical and mental energy was firmly placed within the ranks of the second stage of spirit masters. Unlike the Revitalized Blood Qi Art that could reach rank 4 in seven days, the Mental Acupuncture Technique took three days to reach rank 2 and further progress will only get slower.However, Chen found that with the rise of his mental energy, he could actually convey his thoughts through a few weaker spirit beasts. It was by no way mental control. But spirit beasts under the rank of thousand-year-old spirit beasts would most likely commit to Chen's request.However, the higher grade spirit beasts, although they didn't attack Chen, they also didn't communicate with him. Instead, Chen represented a safe zone and as if tacitly agreeing to this fact, the other spirit beasts never attacked or hunted each other.'Unti
"The carriage is empty... the only thing that is worth something is the set of blue robes and a few herbs."Feng Long sighed deeply while the others had slightly terrible expressions."The Spirit Master can control spirit beasts. He must have a relatively rare martial soul and is probably a control-type suited in natural habitat," Oscar spoke up, "But he still retreated. It can mean two things. Either he's afraid of us, or he's bringing reinforcement."Everyone looked at Oscar while Zhao Wuji crossed his arms, "Reinforcement? He probably ran. I guess that he's a Spirit Elder who found a rare artifact and hid in this forest.""But this isn't how someone hides," Ah Yin countered with a frown. Sighing, she shook her head."What?" Zhao Wuji and others gazed at Ah Yin."I was interested in the spirit master. But he had probably left the carriage the moment the attacks on us began. Now, without the spirit master, all the beasts had a small skirmish before they hurriedly retreated to their t
"If I could, why wouldn't I?" Chen smiled and replied."It may hurt your pride to know the truth so let me lie— I didn't feel like wasting spirit energy on your group of misfits. Bring me a real challenge and I'll probably reveal my true strength.""Answer my question," the binding turned tighter as Chen began chuckling and coughing simultaneously.'This Domain also increases spirit concentration. Can she feel that I'm still absorbing spirit energy?' Chen's mind didn't stop working but he grinned on the outside, "I did answer you. It's your turn to find out which one is the truth and which one is the lie.""I could kill you," Ah Yin whispered. The surrounding blades of grass instantly grew out and turned around to morph into a makeshift drill."Then stop wasting both of our times. Do it already," Chen smiled coldly. His expression looked weary but for a moment, Ah Yin felt that she was looking at a vast sea of blood.Both of their expressions changed.'He still has killing intent?' Ah
"Are you listening to what I'm saying?" A middle-aged man with a wide back grumbled. His silky black hair was swiped back and unlike the general norm, he wore a leather jacket with raised red rings around his shoulder. His bulky physique and biker's outfit were matched by the somewhat younger man out of the duo. Unlike the grumbling man, the younger one had short brown hair and a rugged face without any facial hair."Yeah. I did. Spirit Hall has a weak influence here because the kingdom has high military authority. We're not even in the capital yet, give it a rest," the man mumbled and cleaned his ears."Hush!" The bearded man instantly raised his index and gave a gesture to shut the man up when he noticed the uncomfortable stares from the surrounding."Even though we aren't in Balak City, it never hurts to be cautious. Remember, we are not in our clan! The outside world has rules."The younger one out of the two frowned and scoffed, "I'm already a spirit sage and you will breakthroug
"You want this owl?" Ah Yin frowned before shaking her head.She turned around and her silky blue hair would wave in a pleasant arc. As she began walking away, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao looked at each other.Despite all their differences, past pranks, and petty grudges, if there was one thing the two of them could agree on then it was their admiration for their grandfather! The strongest master to ever be born in their clan."How about you tell us about the owl and we tell you about the kid?" Tang Xiao proposed. His words stopped Ah Yin in her tracks and she turned around. Nodding."But this isn't a suitable location to exchange information. Are you in a hurry? If not, we can chat inside the dining hall of the inn," Tang Xiao pointed at the inn next to them."The information isn't large. I don't want to go in only for exiting after a few minutes," Ah Yin stated. Her words made Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's lips twitch. She was far too dangerous with her tongue!"You go first," Ah Yin gestured
When Ja Sau felt the tension increasing, he let out a sigh, "Come on, Ah Yin. Help me out. The stronger I am, the better the spirit ring I can absorb. This increases the chances of having another boost of cultivation speed."Ah Yin continued to think deeply"But we still cannot do it here. Similarly, Spirit Dou Great Forest is too dangerous with a large traffic of spirit masters in the outskirts and the aggressive spirit beasts."Chen also frowned. He wanted to give this mission a try. The rewards should be similar to rewards revealed for Revitalized Blood Qi Art where the techniques would be enhancement and application of blood energy. Similarly, the rewards this time will probably be the applications of mental energy to hasten mental Cultivation."The Demon Pond Forest is too far away. It doesn't make sense to go there, either," Chen mumbled."Then... let's go to the Violet Waterfall Marsh," Ah Yin suddenly spoke up."That place..." Chen frowned, "Your domain can truly be magical th
With an extremely depraved smirk, Chen pushed in the 128th needle.His body trembled violently and finally, blood gushed out of his ears."Help me heal a little," Chen's eyes snapped open. He was short on time now.Surprised that Chen could even speak, Ah Yin hurriedly nodded while observing his completely drenched robe and the thin pool of blood under him."The damage to your body is too great. It will take a little time to heal," Ah Yin frowned as she continued to fill Chen with pure physical energy."Just continue this for thirty more seconds," Chen spoke relatively calmly but his body kept shuddering. His vision was blurry... not, it was dark. Presently, he already couldn't see anything and he could only hear Ah Yin because his ears took the most recent damage and healed the quickest.'The technique will consider breaking into Level 5 the moment my pool of mental energy evolves and grow in quality. It took a dozen minutes in the fourth level so I hope it at least takes 10% more th
