Chapter 40: Chapter 35 Activate the Subsidiary Title [Burst Out]_l
Translator: 549690339
Upon returning to the Outer Sect Spiritual Field Plantation Area, Lin Yi looked at the retreating figure of Li Yuan Qing, who was leaving on his sword. He wanted to ask how many Spirit Stones a single intervention from Senior Brother Li would cost, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
After all, it was almost time for action. It would seem rather disrespectful to ask such a thing of a Foundation Building cultivator now.
Nevertheless, as long as he gets rid of the trouble called Zhang Yuan Cheng, he wouldn’t mind dedicating his time to producing talismans for Senior Brother Li for ten days or half a month.
Judging from Senior Brother Li’s past behavior, like offering a discount when buying Monster Beast meat and paying the highest market price when buying Lin Yi’s talismans, he must also be reasonable about the cost of his intervention now.
Instead of returning home, he used Gale Step to stroll around other planting areas and made a trip to Qing Yun City. He made sure he wasn’t being followed using a Concealment Charm before starting to carry out his plan.
He worked non-stop until the early morning. Only when his plan was fully arranged did Lin Yi decide to visit the district where the lower-rank Martial Artists lived. Seeing how these Cultivators who thought highly of themselves bullied the Martial Artists freely made him angry.
This was the final part of his plan, collecting one hundred Anger Points to activate the subsidiary title [If the Small Endurances Are Not Made, A Great Plan Can Be Ruined].
Previously, during the time he wasn’t producing talismans, he had already collected over ninety Anger Points through various means. He was only one step away from completing his plan.
At that moment, a Martial Artist, who was walking with his four or five-year-old daughter in a small alley in Qing Yun City, looked very tired. The rain had just stopped and there were puddles all over the street. The little girl held her father’s hand and jumped happily in the puddles.
Just then, a Cultivator who was passing by got a few drops of water splashed
onto his clothes. The Martial Artist quickly apologized and took out a
handkerchief to wipe the water off.
However, the Cultivator cursed at him and used a spell to send the Martial Artist flying. He then lifted the little girl by her clothes and yelled at her to lick all the water drops off his clothes.
Lin Yi happened to stumble upon the scene, causing a surge of anger, “Fury +2, reached 100 points, automatically activating subsidiary title [Burst Out], The host can wear it at will, entering a furious state.”
He slowly walked over and said calmly, “My friend, there’s no need to get angry over such a small issue. I’ll give you these two Raging Fire Talismans to calm you down. Let them go.”
With that, he handed over the two Raging Fire Talismans. Judging from the Cultivator’s appearance and temperament, it was unlikely that he was a disciple of the Liu Yun Sect. Only a Loose Cultivator would bully Martial Artists so wantonly, seemingly to prove their noble identity as a Cultivator.
Seeing the Raging Fire Talismans in Lin Yi’s hand, the Cultivator’s eyes lit up.
He grabbed the talismans without any hesitation and threw the little girl aside,
“Consider it bad luck. Be more careful next time.’
Lin Yi caught the little girl with his quick reflexes and placed her next to the
Martial Artist, “Go home.”
“Thank you, Immortal Master, thank you.” The Martial Artist quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.
Lin Yi waved his hand and left with a smile. Seeing the already activated subsidiary title [Burst Out] on the title panel, he smiled. The most crucial part of the plan had been completed.
Once he entered the Furious state, he would have a full chance of escape even in front of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.
Now that his goal was achieved, he left Qing Yun City. Upon reaching his home, he suddenly noticed that Lv Qing Ming from next door was out walking his dog so late at night. Did he think that everyone was a fool with such an obvious spying operation in progress?
“Brother Lin, you’re returning home so late.” Seeing Lin Yi, Lv Qing Ming immediately perked up and casually asked.
Lin Yi nodded and replied with a smile, “Yes, I have to go Monster Beast hunting tomorrow, so I went to Qing Yun City to prepare a few things. Brother Lv, why aren’t you asleep yet?” He also returned the question.
“These two dogs are too restless, so I took them out for a walk. I didn’t want to disturb the peace of the fellow Daoists around.” Lv Qing Ming explained, lightly kicking the dog by his side.
“Brother Lv, you’re always so considerate. Well, I’ll be going to bed first then.” Lin Yi sneered inwardly, then went into his yard.
The purple mink, which usually excitedly flew out to greet him when it heard noises, was nowhere to be seen. Lin Yi shook his head and smiled. His home felt a bit lonely without it.
Rather than producing more talismans, he lay down on his bed to get a good night’s sleep. He needed to conserve his energy for tomorrow’s operation.
Based on his deductions, if Zhang Yuan Cheng were to take action, considering his suspicious nature, he would likely do it personally to prevent unforeseen accidents. Moreover, since his own operation was scheduled for the next day, with just one day left, it was impractical for Zhang to hire an assassin.
In addition, he had deployed Zhi Ling to monitor their surroundings. Some Spirit Farmer’s dogs were also laid in ambush close by. If this guy dared to sneak out, they would bark loudly to draw attention.
When dawn arrived, Lin Yi opened his eyes and got up instantly. After preparing breakfast, he came to the courtyard seemingly waiting for something. Not long after, Zhi Ling squeaked as it jumped down from the rooftop and perched on his shoulder.
He stretched out his hand, and Zhi Ling obediently settled into his palm. It started gesturing and squeaking nonstop, seemingly telling the story of a grand drama.
“Zhi Ling, did he step out at all during the day?” Lin Yi, stroking Zhi Ling’s head, asked with a smile.
Zhi Ling swayed its paw twice and shook its head vigorously, then puffed its chest out proudly, looking at Lin Yi.
“I see. You and the dogs prevented his departure. You all worked hard. Let’s go eat.” Lin Yi roughly got the message and prepared to head back to his room for a meal with Zhi Ling.
Zhi Ling squeaked twice more and waved its paw toward the outside, making Lin Yi chuckle, “You little rascal, even remembered to include your friends.
Don’t worry, I’ll feed those dogs when I return.”
After finishing breakfast, he kept Zhi Ling at home. With many unpredictable changes taken into consideration for his plan, he had made preparations, ensuring the smooth success of the plan.
Zhi Ling seemed to sense that Lin Yi was heading off for an adventure. Clinging to his finger tightly, Zhi Ling squeaked with teary eyes.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely come back,” Lin Yi patted its little head, he wasn’t the type to gamble with his life. Without absolute confidence, he wouldn’t carry out the operation.
At that moment, Zhi Ling suddenly opened its mouth and bit the finger it had been holding tight. However, it didn’t draw blood. As Lin Yi’s body refining techniques were nearing the Great Achievement Level, it naturally wouldn’t be affected by the bite of a little purple mink with a degenerated bloodline.
Seeing that it couldn’t break the skin, it became frustrated and started scraping its teeth against him, seeming to want to grind through his finger.
Lin Yi appeared to understand what Zhi Ling was thinking and said with a smile, “Zhi Ling, there’s no need for that. I can’t afford to leave you behind.
Wait for me to come back.”
Zhi Ling let go of its mouth, pointing at the finger and squeaking while its claws held on tighter. It seemed to be saying that if he didn’t do as it said, it wouldn’t let him go.
“You silly child.” Left without a choice, Lin Yi used the Gale Finger technique to release his inner energy, slicing a tiny cut on his finger to squeeze out a droplet of blood essence.
Seeing the droplet of blood essence on his finger, Zhi Ling squealed in delight, and then put its little head closer. The moment it touched the drop of blood essence, its body absorbed it.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly experienced a peculiar sensation as if he and Zhi Ling had formed some kind of connection. They seemed to be closer, the feeling differing from their previous companionship. It felt like a kinship. Could this be the change after a Monster Beast recognizes its owner?
Monster Beasts are very cautious about choosing their masters because once they do, they cannot disobey their masters’ commands. Only a significant increase in its realm of strength can potentially give it the chance to break free.
Zhi Ling licked Lin Yi’s finger with its tongue, then started hopping happily in his palm.
“Are you satisfied now, little one? Stay home and wait for me to come back,” Lin Yi rubbed its little head, placed it in its little wooden house in the room, and after waving goodbye, he embarked on his journey to the Monster Beast region.
As he stepped out of the house, he heard a flurry of squeaks. Zhi Ling was on the garden wall, waving its little paws at him repeatedly. It looked like a child left at home, bidding farewell to its parents.
“Brother Lin, the Monster Beast region is full of dangers. Be careful,” his neighbor, Lv Qing Ming, who was lying in a chair, greeted him.
“I appreciate your concern, Brother Lv.” Lin Yi replied with a smile, then turned around and left.
