Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Not bad." Lin Yi, naturally, wouldn't admit that he wasn't a refiner. It seemed like he made the right bet-this thing was really afraid of the refinement fire, and it wasn't just a normal fear. Its calm voice was now filled with fear.

Lin Yi's words silenced the man. After a while, he said,""Even if you're an Alchemist, you're in my territory. Without my permission, you can't take her away. Even your other companions will be lost here and die."

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yi asked calmly. In fact, Lin Yi was overjoyed. He knew that this damn thing was starting to give in. It didn't attack or say anything extreme, only saying that even an Alchemist couldn't walk out of its territory.

"It's simple. I'll let you go, but she must come with me!" The thing didn't say who she was, but Lin Yi knew that she was Wang Xinyan.

"Hehe, that's impossible." Lin Yi didn't even give him a chance to bargain and rejected immediately.

"Then you guys can stay here until you die. I'm leaving." The ghostly thing hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Do you think you can leave? If you want a life and death struggle, I don't mind. " Once again, Lin Yi conjured a ball of fire in his hand. During the conversation and silence, he'd already used the art of Dragon mastery to recover the energy he'd used to compress the energy bomb.

"Your physical strength is limited. I don't believe you can keep chasing me to release the pill fire." The ghostly thing was clearly not stupid. It said indifferently,""Earlier, you released some kind of martial skill and used up a lot of your physical strength and true Qi, right? There shouldn't be much left now. "

"Is that so?" A mocking smile appeared on Lin Yi's face as he released his pure Qi.

"Eh? This is impossible. In such a short time, you've actually recovered seventy to eighty percent of your physical strength and true Qi. How is this possible?" "No!" The ghostly thing cried out in shock."Although this is a cultivation paradise, the true Qi here is getting thinner and thinner. Even if you were here, it's impossible for you to recover so quickly. This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Whether it's possible or not, it's not what you say. It's the truth." Lin Yi smiled faintly,"The speed at which I recover my strength and true Qi is only this fast, so if this continues, it's hard to say whether you'll die or I'll die,"

"..." The ghostly thing fell silent again, evidently agreeing with Lin Yi's words. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

"Now, can we have a talk?" Lin Yi asked again.

"Fine ..." The thing was obviously unwilling to talk to Lin Yi in that tone. It agreed to talk to Lin Yi, but it still added,""If I didn't exist in the form of a primordial spirit, you're just an Earth Class mid phase peak Alchemist-you wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes."

"There's no "if."" Lin Yi didn't get angry. He only shrugged,"If I wasn't an Alchemist, I wouldn't have let you talk to me on equal terms."

"That's right ... There's no "if."" The ghostly thing was stunned for a moment before it said,""The winner is king, this is a principle that has never changed since ancient times! Back then, if I didn't ... Forget it, let's not talk about this ... You're right, you do have the right to talk to the current me. "

"Alright, tell us. Are you going to fight to the death or let us go?" Lin Yi asked.

"It's impossible for me to let you leave. " The ghastly thing said decisively,""I've been waiting for so many years, and this opportunity has finally come! I don't have time, the spiritual energy here is getting thinner and thinner. I can't wait any longer, or my soul will slowly dissipate ..."

Primordial spirit? This was the second time Lin Yi had heard this name from this thing. Could this thing be the soul of a super powerful practitioner from ancient times?

Lin Yi had read in some rumors that practitioners could guarantee that their essence spirit wouldn't be destroyed when they died, and that they could one day rebuild their body or take over another body, but there was no proof of this.

In the world of practitioning, the highest level of Masters was Sky Class. Lin Yi had never seen anything beyond that, and even the rock Candy Girl might not know about it. So Lin Yi didn't really take the strange news seriously.

But now that he heard the damn thing mentioned, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"You're a primordial spirit?" Lin Yi asked.

"You know about primordial spirit?" The ghostly thing was stunned.

"I've heard that some high-level cultivators can ensure that their primordial spirit is not destroyed when they die. One day, they can reconstruct their body or take over someone's body. Is that true?" Lin Yi said, revealing everything he knew.

"More or less." The ghostly thing didn't deny it.

"You want to take over my body?" Lin Yi's face changed as he looked at Xinyan, a terrifying possibility suddenly crossing his mind.

"..." The damn thing was speechless,""You're thinking too much. Let's not talk about the fact that she's not a cultivator and is just a mortal. Even if I want to possess someone, I'll choose you and not her! Furthermore, possession is a trick of the demon sect. I just want to preserve my primordial spirit so that I can rebuild my body one day. "

"I see ..." Lin Yi sighed in relief,""Then why are you looking for her?"

"I found a special aura on her ..." The ghost said,""With this aura, I can speed up my cultivation. The spiritual Qi here is already very thin, and my cultivation speed is far from enough to replenish the daily consumption of my primordial spirit! In other words, I'm just eating my old capital. If this continues, my primordial spirit will become unstable and my soul will scatter ..."

Lin Yi's face changed-he didn't think that this thing's intuition would be this sharp, to be able to find out Xinyan's Secret! Lin Yi thought that this secret wouldn't be easily discovered by other practitioners ...

After all, Lin Yi wasn't the only practitioner around Xinyan-there were other practitioners around, but none of them had noticed it yet. Lin Yi's face darkened a little when this damn thing found out.

"Oh? It seems that you've also discovered this secret?" The ghostly thing saw Lin Yi's expression and knew that Lin Yi probably knew about it, "That's right, you recovered your strength and true Qi so quickly just now because you borrowed this strange fragrance?"
