Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Benefactor, you don't know this. We spirit beasts are different from you humans. Human cultivators have to rely on themselves to improve their strength step by step. Every bit of strength is obtained through real cultivation. But we spirit beasts are different. In addition to our acquired cultivation, our strength is largely determined by our innate nature. The innate talent of each race directly determines the limit that we can reach. Acquired cultivation is actually just adding flowers to a brocade." The spider explained.

"That's right. Moreover, in the core Holy Land of our spirit beast clan, there's a special array that can unearth our clan's innate talents. As long as we have enough Foundation, we can quickly increase our strength. Our strength has been stuck at a bottleneck for many years in the secular world. Our Foundation is sufficient, and after being stimulated by the array, it's very normal for our strength to be reborn in a short time. However, this array can only be used once for each spirit beast. It's no longer effective after that. " The Great Fire Lion nodded in agreement.

"I see." Lin Yi nodded. Human practitioners focused on their cultivation, while spirit beasts focused on their race's talents. There were pros and cons to both.

Even if there was a slight difference in talent between human cultivators, it was not to the point where it was impossible to cross. As long as one cultivated diligently and had enough opportunities, anything was possible no matter what stage one reached.

On the other hand, for the spirit beast clan, although their racial talent did not determine everything, it determined at least 80% of their strength. No matter how hard they tried, those with poor talent would not be able to turn the tide.

For the Great Fire Lion and the giant spider to be able to reach the advanced stage of the nascent soul realm, their racial talents should be considered pretty good. That was why, after being stimulated by the array, their abilities could increase so quickly. This was the advantage that their racial talents brought them.

"However, although it's said that the innate talent of the race determines one's strength, daily cultivation is still essential to us. Otherwise, it would be too aggrieved if we lost to others." The Great Fire Lion chuckled and looked at the big spider provocatively. The meaning was obvious. Since they came from the secular world, they had always been enemies. Neither of them was willing to submit to the other.

"Whoever is aggrieved will know." The spider hmphed and turned to Lin Yi,"We are both new here. We don't have any territory or cultivation resources, so our only choice is to carry out missions to earn cultivation resources."

"So, you two came to this remains for a mission?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"That's right. We were sent by the king of the spirit beast clan to guard this city's ruins. Our mission is to intercept the star Ink milk collected by you human cultivators. This thing doesn't have much use for us spirit beasts, but for you human cultivators, it's a good thing that's hard to find at a sky-high price. Therefore, there will be spirit beast deacons who will come here regularly to take away the star Ink milk we have intercepted and send it to the East continent to exchange for some cultivation resources and spirit jades. We will also obtain some cultivation resources from it. As a reward for the mission. " The giant spider nodded.

"Hehe, other than the mission reward, we also get some extra income from doing this job." The Great Fire Lion winked and laughed.

Lin Yi and Huang Xiao Tao couldn't help but smile. The big fire lion's so-called extra income was nothing more than what they saw just now. The star Ink milk was famous, and there were always human cultivators who wanted to enter the ruins to search for treasures. The result was self-evident, and naturally, they were all exploited by these two.

The moon Shadow array allowed people to enter but not leave. The only way out of the ruins was through the teleportation array. With the Great Fire Lion and the great Spider standing here, any human cultivator who came in would not be able to escape.

Furthermore, the two of them were powerful existences in the advanced stage of the nascent Soul Stage. The human experts who were attracted by the star Ink milk were at most nascent Soul Stage experts. They were basically no match for the two of them. In order to save their lives, they could only obediently follow their orders like Chang Daoping. The cultivation resources and spiritual jades were easily obtained, and this side income could be considered easy and pleasant.

"Oh, then why ..." Lin Yi was about to continue asking why they didn't collect the star Ink milk themselves, but waited for the human practitioners to come to them when the weird thing's voice sounded in his head,""The king of spirit beasts? Did they find the king of spirit beasts? Or have you made another spirit beast King?"

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat-he'd almost missed out on something this important! This was something that could change the entire Sky Class Island!

"I heard that the king of the spirit beasts has been missing for many years. How come another King of the spirit beasts has appeared?" Lin Yi quickly asked. This was the thing's most urgent question.

"The original King of the spirit beasts has indeed gone missing. However, elder Vermilion Bird, one of the four Guardian elders of the spirit beast clan, found the bloodline left behind by the king of the spirit beasts, so he has appointed a new king." The giant spider answered truthfully,"however, the king is still too young and doesn't know the rules of the spirit beast clan. Therefore, Vermilion Bird elder is now the governing elder. He is half master and half servant to the king. His position is very high. In fact, all the matters of the spirit beast clan, big and small, are handled by Vermilion Bird elder on behalf of the king."

"What? Isn't this clearly using the Emperor to command the vassals?" Lin Yi could clearly feel the chaos in the demonic thing's breathing even though he was in his essence spirit. He was furious,"Where did they find the king's descendants? I'm the only one in the spirit beast clan who has truly left for the mortal world. That bastard Vermillion Bird didn't even go!"

Lin Yi was shocked. This was a Palace drama from the secular world, and he didn't expect it to be repeated on the spirit beast clan. It was only a few sentences, but he could see the strangeness in it.

"Could it be that he simply found a puppet and used the name of the Regent elder to take the opportunity to ascend to the position? That's right, that's definitely the case. Vermillion Bird, that audacious bastard, would definitely do such a treacherous thing!" The demonic thing was so angry that it wanted to rush out and fight the Vermilion Bird.

"Benefactor, what's wrong?" The fire Lion and Spider looked at each other. The strange and powerful aura that Lin Yi was giving off made them want to submit to him even though they were both advanced stage nascent soul cultivators. It was unbelievable.

They did not know that this was the aura of the demonic creature. Although the two of them were powerful now, they were still far from the level of the demonic creature, who was once a top elder of the spirit beast clan. After all, if the demonic creature could recover, its strength would definitely not be inferior to the current ruling elder, the Vermillion Bird! (The most recent chapter is still quite powerful.
