“In that case, if we can find the descendants of the king of the spiritual beasts, we can indeed solve the problem of the spiritual beasts.” Lin Yi pondered and asked,”Senior, you went to the secular world because of this?”

“Not bad.” The ghastly thing nodded.

“Then how did you end up like this?” Lin Yi asked, confused.

With this damn thing’s strength, it should be considered strong even in the entire Sky Class Island. In the mortal world, it should be invincible, so how did it end up in such a miserable state? His corporeal body was gone, leaving only an incomplete essence soul!

The ghastly thing laughed bitterly and said,””You know, kid, that there’s a Qi barrier between Sky Class Island and the secular world. It’s not just hard to get from the secular world to Sky Class Island, it’s also very hard to go down from Sky Class Island to the secular world.”

“Is that so?” Lin Yi blinked. He knew that the spiritual energy barrier limited the way from the common world to Sky Class Island, but he didn’t know that the return trip was the same. Wouldn’t he have to go through a lot of trouble to go back to the common world?

“When you guys were teleporting from the common world to Sky Class Island, you needed a practitioner of the five elements to work with seven inheritors to suppress the five elements spirit Qi barrier, and a dark sect disciple to absorb the five evils demonic Qi released by the barrier to open a gap. It’s the same for me to go to the common world from Sky Class Island, but I don’t have an inheritor to help me, so I can only rely on my own strength.” Even now, the ghastly thing seemed to still have lingering fears when talking about this.

Lin Yi was speechless. So many people, including himself, had to go through so much trouble to barely break through the spiritual energy barrier, but this thing was breaking through by itself! Just how strong was this thing?!

“In the end, I managed to successfully descend into the mortal world, but the price I paid was that I was seriously injured. However, the spiritual energy in the mortal world was too weak, and there was no way to heal me. After wandering around for a few years, I still couldn’t find the king’s bloodline. In the end, I was seriously injured and died.” The ghastly thing sighed.

Lin Yi was about to say “let’s just go with the flow “when he saw the black mist in front of him.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but think, Since he was already seriously injured and on the verge of death, what was this thing in front of him?!

The damn thing explained after noticing Lin Yi’s weird expression,””If it were any other spirit beast, it would have turned into ashes long ago. However, my innate ability is a little special, and I can retain my primordial spirit after death.”

“I see.” Lin Yi said.

The thing didn’t say what his talent was, but he couldn’t help but think of Zhong pinliang-the guy had been possessed by the Mad dragon patriarch’s soul.

Lin Yi guessed that this thing’s innate ability should be similar to the everyday and every day sect’s technique.

The ghost fell silent after that. As for what happened after he turned into a primordial spirit, he didn’t continue, but Lin Yi could guess that he must’ve been wandering around miserably until he met him.

Before this, Lin Yi felt that the ghost was mysterious, but there was also an indescribable stubbornness to it. After listening to these words, he suddenly felt that this senior ghost’s experience was a bitter one. Who knew?

“Then … Are you going to the southern island next?” Lin Yi asked carefully.

“We’ll see. With this old man’s current appearance, what can I do even if I return to the southern island? if I don’t have the strength, it’s better to be out of sight and out of mind!”

The demonic thing laughed at itself and paused for a moment before saying,””When your strength reaches a certain level, this old master may ask you for help, but for now, you should focus on your cultivation. If you dare to go to the southern island with your current strength, you won’t even be enough to fill the gaps between people’s teeth.”

Lin Yi chuckled, speechless. The ghost was telling the truth, but it was too much of a blow to him.

No matter what, Lin Yi’s heart was finally at ease now that he’d figured out where this thing came from, and he was glad that he’d found it. With such a spirit beast senior as his backing, even if he no longer had powerful strength, he was still a huge treasure!

It was a quiet night, and when Lin Yi came out of the Jade space at his peak, it was already the next day. Since he’d already gotten the heart-devouring exquisite grass, he’d achieved his main goal-he didn’t really have much to ask for now.

Of course, it didn’t mean that he didn’t want to do anything. It was a rare opportunity for him to join the trial, and if he didn’t get first place, he’d feel sorry for Skybolt pig.

After all, a Foundation pill and ten spiritual jades was a pretty attractive reward even for Lin Yi.

The value of the foundation pill went without saying-even if Lin Yi couldn’t use it himself, it was something Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai could only dream of. As their leader, Lin Yi had to at least fight for some benefits for them so that they would be loyal to him.

As for the ten spiritual jades, Lin Yi was in dire need of spiritual jades right now. Besides, these ten spiritual jades were in his hands so openly. Meng jueguang and his bunch of unscrupulous people would definitely think of a way to exchange them for useless jades.

In that case, it wouldn’t be just ten spiritual jades to Lin Yi, but at least thirty spiritual jades. It wasn’t a small amount.

He let the pig out, and while searching for spiritual herbs nearby to earn more points, he followed the map to identify the direction and headed towards the three Creek entrance that he had discussed with Xiao ran and the other man before the trial started.

With the canyon as a reference, Lin Yi could easily determine his position after a little bit of direction.

According to their agreement, he only needed to reach San Xi kou at noon the day before the test ended, and he still had a full day left. However, Lin Yi’s current position was too far from San Xi kou, and he had to spend some time collecting herbs along the way. Adding on the night when it was inconvenient for him to move, it wasn’t too early to leave now.

After a whole day of trekking, with the help of the pig’s cheating device, Lin Yi’s points on his basket had shot up to 1680-this was the best score he’d ever gotten in the newbie test.

And this was only the result of two days, and this wasn’t even all the herbs he’d collected. He put most of them into his basket, but he’d kept a small portion of the rare or useful ones in the Jade space, saving them for future elixir making. (I’m a little stuck today and my thinking isn’t good. I just finished writing.)
