66: The Dark Abyss

“A Tier 4 Yao Beast exists in the Qingyang Mountain Range!”

The Moon Toad Rabbit’s words were like a heavy bomb, shaking Lin Yongmao’s heart.

A Tier 4 Yao Beast is equivalent to a Nascent Soul old monster, and it is said that Yao Beasts at this Realm can transform into human form.

At that time, it would be impossible to distinguish between a Yao Beast and a human.

Only specific Formations and Spiritual Artifacts can detect them.

The Moon Toad Rabbit spoke again, “There is indeed a Tier 4 Yao Beast; it’s a fox that has already transformed.”

Seeing Lin Yongmao’s wary expression, the Moon Toad Rabbit looked gleeful, but then Lin Yongmao gave it another good beating.

“Stop hitting me…”

“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. That Tier 4 Yao Beast is precisely in the most crucial stage of its transformation. A Yao Beast’s Cultivation is different from yours; once it enters seclusion, it will take at least more than ten years.”

The Moon Toad Rabbit didn’t want to be beaten, so it quickly revealed the truth.

Hearing this, Lin Yongmao felt much more at ease.

Give him more than ten years, and he would be able to develop; by then, even if a Tier 4 Yao Beast attacked the Lin family, he should have the power to fight it.

Lin Yongmao put the Moon Toad Rabbit down, then suddenly asked, “You seem to have one question you haven’t answered me, right?”

“Tell me! Did you come out of the Qingyang Mountain Range?”

Lin Yongmao was very interested in the origin of a Qi Luck Spirit Beast like the Moon Toad Rabbit.

One Moon Toad Rabbit could increase Qi Luck by 10 points; if he could raise a large group, the items he would obtain from checking in would be unimaginable.

The Moon Toad Rabbit stammered, looking reluctant to speak, but it couldn’t resist Lin Yongmao’s threats and promises.

“This Rabbit Lord didn’t come out of the Qingyang Mountain Range. The Qi Luck of the Qingyang Mountain Range isn’t enough to nurture a Qi Luck Spirit Beast. This Rabbit Lord came from…”

Before the Moon Toad Rabbit could finish speaking, Lin Yongmao gave its head a few more hard knocks.

“You, a Rabbit Lord?”

The Moon Toad Rabbit was extremely wronged, tears welling in its deep blue eyes: “I barely managed to escape from the Gloomy Abyss.”

The Gloomy Abyss.

Cultivators in the Qingyang area paid more attention to the Qingyang Mountain Range.

Although the Qingyang Mountain Range was fraught with danger, it also contained Opportunity, which was something they could see and touch.

However, the Gloomy Abyss was different. No monsters had ever emerged from the Gloomy Abyss, so people generally ignored it.

But, once a Cultivator entered the Gloomy Abyss to explore, there was only one outcome—disappearance!

Permanently vanished from this world!

Unexpectedly, the Qi Luck Spirit Beast, the Moon Toad Rabbit, in front of him, had actually escaped from the Gloomy Abyss.

It seemed the Gloomy Abyss was also a potential crisis.

“What’s in the Gloomy Abyss?” Lin Yongmao asked.

The Moon Toad Rabbit showed a look of fear: “Yin soldiers, ghost beasts, monsters, they all want to eat me…”

o(>_<)o

Lin Yongmao’s words made the Moon Toad Rabbit shiver, almost losing its footing and falling directly:

“Will eating the flesh of a Qi Luck Spirit Beast increase Luck?”

“Don’t eat the bunny, the bunny is so cute, how can you eat the bunny!”

The Moon Toad Rabbit kept acting cute and spoiled, hoping Lin Yongmao would let it go.

It knew that trapped in this broken Formation, its life was entirely in the hands of this human.

Lin Yongmao indeed had the thought of eating bunny meat.

“System notification: The host’s current Physical Body cannot bear the Karma of killing a Qi Luck Spirit Beast. It is not recommended to kill the Qi Luck Spirit Beast.”

...

The God Farmer Sign-in System was also afraid Lin Yongmao would make a mistake, so it prompted him.

The idea of raising a large group of Qi Luck Spirit Beasts fell through; he couldn’t run to the Gloomy Abyss to find Qi Luck Spirit Beasts.

Eating Qi Luck Spirit Beasts to increase his own Qi Luck was also unrealistic; the System had already warned him that his current Physique couldn’t bear that Karma.

So, there was only this one path.

Lin Yongmao planned to properly feed this Moon Toad Rabbit. As long as the Moon Toad Rabbit’s Cultivation improved, its Qi Luck aura range would expand, and the Qi Luck it increased would also be higher.

He thought so, and he acted accordingly.

The amount of spirit dew grass was limited, but the amount of spirit gathering grass was abundant.

Lin Yongmao kept stuffing it into the Moon Toad Rabbit’s mouth, while also muttering, “Grow up quickly, grow up quickly!”

The Moon Toad Rabbit’s cheeks were puffed out, diligently digesting the Spiritual Plants and spiritual fruits Lin Yongmao handed over.

Now the Red Berry Tree was bearing fruit again; the spiritual fruits from a fifty-year-old tree were also very rare for low-level Cultivators and Spirit Beasts.

The Red Berry Tree bore a great many fruits, hanging from the branches like small lanterns.

Lin Yongmao had already told the Gold-Eating Beast, Little Pine, that it could freely eat these Spiritual Plants and spiritual fruits.

Now the Moon Toad Rabbit Black Slave also received this treatment.

...

In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in Yang City.

Lin Yucheng hadn’t had time to check out the other displayed goods here when he saw a beautiful woman walk down from upstairs.

The beautiful woman’s lotus steps moved lightly, bringing with them a fragrant breeze. She was the manager of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion’s Yang City branch, called down by the attendant.

Lin Yucheng and Lin Jing glanced at the beautiful woman, and immediately their eyes couldn’t move away; this was a normal reaction for most men.

The beautiful woman appeared to be in her thirties; time had left no traces on her face, but instead added to her mature charm.

She smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Her gaze radiated brilliance, drawing people in unconsciously.

Lin Jing was young and full of vigor; after one look, he was unwilling to look away.

Lin Yucheng was a married man, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

The beautiful woman swept a glance at Lin Yucheng and knew that he was an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, possibly a potential big client, so she quickly said, “Fellow Daoist has come a long way; we haven’t been very hospitable here.”

Lin Yucheng was slightly surprised. Putting aside her beautiful face, this beautiful woman was actually a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, one minor Realm higher than him.

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi had even said this person was his old sweetheart; it was clearly a lie, just to make himself look good.

Thinking carefully, the value of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion’s Yang City branch was much higher than the Qingyang branch. The status gap between the two must be quite large, so how could they be old sweethearts?

“Fellow Daoist is too polite. I was introduced by Manager Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi. This is the letter he asked me to give to Fellow Daoist.”

Lin Yucheng patted his Storage Pouch, and a letter appeared in his hand. The envelope also had the unique seal of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

As Lin Yucheng handed over the envelope, he smelled a faint, delicate fragrance.

The beautiful woman opened the envelope in front of Lin Yucheng and Lin Jing, then read it carefully, occasionally tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

She used her Divine Sense to scan the contents of the letter, so her reading speed was very fast. In less than a minute, she had finished reading the entire letter.

A faint smile appeared on the beautiful woman’s lips. She said, “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Li Qiuniang, and I am the manager of this Spirit Treasure Pavilion.”
