Beauty and the Bodyguard

It was a good thing that the worst case scenario didn't happen-he'd been on edge for an entire month, and he'd finally made it to the exit. But even so, he was still in a sorry state, and even injured.

After crossing two whole zones, no matter how careful Lin Yi was, he still encountered a lot of powerful spirit beasts. Fortunately, most of them didn't care about Lin Yi.

For one, Lin Yi had the damn beast's aura on him. To those powerful spirit beasts, a golden core stage human was a delicious meal, but a golden core stage spirit beast was only enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Secondly, Lin Yi's speed was no small matter-even if the powerful spirit beasts saw him, they couldn't be bothered to chase him.

A "spirit beast" like Lin Yi was the most unwelcomed prey-a golden core small fry like him wasn't even an appetizer in the eyes of those powerful spirit beasts, and he ran so fast that even if they could catch up, it'd be a waste of energy.

The energy he'd used up during this process alone wouldn't be replenished even if he ate ten Lin Yi 's-it was definitely not worth it. So although Lin Yi's aura was weak, there weren't many spirit beasts that really attacked him along the way. Even if he was unlucky occasionally, the other party would just give it a try and give up when they saw that they couldn't catch up easily.

However, there were always times when one would see a ghost if they walked at night. Although most of the time in this month was considered smooth, there were a few times when they were really surrounded by danger. The degree of danger was definitely not much less than the previous pursuit by the old sect of West Mountain.

Every time, Lin Yi had to use all his trump cards and risk his life to barely escape. Getting injured was a small matter, but to be able to reach the exit without any injuries and still be able to keep his arms and legs intact was already a miracle.

It'd been a month, and he'd been through a lot-he'd lost a lot of weight, and looking back at the path he'd taken, it was a bitter tear. Back in the day, even Tripitaka and his master weren't like this, were they?

In theory, the physical strength of a cultivator at the Golden core stage was already at the monster level, but even that couldn't withstand a whole month of running for their lives. This was not only a huge test of endurance, but also a constant tension to guard against the sneak attack of spirit beasts. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long gone crazy. Even a cultivator of a higher level couldn't bear it.

However, Lin Yi didn't just persevere, he even treated this as a rare opportunity to train. Pressure was a form of motivation-it wasn't easy to find so many strong spirit beasts to train.

Of course, it was not realistic to break through just like that. However, both the body and the will could become more refined and powerful after reaching their limits. There was no doubt about that.

At the same time, this one month of training had allowed Lin Yi to completely master the butterfly microsteps. He was also able to master the corresponding super and ultimate Arts with ease, which was equivalent to half a year's worth of training.

Not only that, even Lin Yi's aura had changed a little compared to a month ago. He was still calm and reserved, but he was more determined and unyielding in his bones. He was like a pine tree deeply rooted in a rock. There was no difference on the surface, but his roots had grown from ten feet to twenty feet, and even more.

The deeper the roots, the more stable the foundation, and the more solid the foundation. The gains of this month were far more valuable than a breakthrough on the surface. He had no choice but to run for his life, but from a certain perspective, Lin Yi had gained a lot this time.

There was an empty space in front of him, without any spirit beasts guarding it. There was a teleportation formation not far ahead, similar to the one he saw in Lufeng forest. This situation made Lin Yi breathe out in relief. If this teleportation formation was heavily guarded by the spirit beasts, it would be F * cked up. Fortunately, the situation was much better than he expected.

Lin Yi quickly walked into the teleportation formation since there was no one around. The difference between the formation in Lufeng forest and the one in Lufeng forest was that one only needed a token to activate the teleportation, but this one obviously didn't have a token and needed a spirit Jade.

In principle, every time a teleportation array was activated, it would consume a large amount of the world's spiritual energy. Although basically every teleportation array was designed with a formation that could collect the surrounding world's spiritual energy to maintain the normal operation of the teleportation array, it could only keep the teleportation array from breaking down. It was obviously unrealistic to use it to meet the needs of frequent back and forth teleportation.

Therefore, before each use of the teleportation formation, one would need to add superior-grade spirit Jade to the eye of the formation to provide power. The minimum was a few hundred pieces, and the maximum was thousands or even tens of thousands of pieces. This depended on the exquisiteness of the teleportation formation and the distance of teleportation.

This one, on the other hand, required a whole three thousand six hundred spirit Jade to activate. Lin Yi couldn't help but be glad that he had the Jade space. If it were anyone else, they'd be dumbfounded.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but who would be so free to bring so many ready-made spiritual jades everywhere? even if they had brought them in the beginning, they would have definitely thrown them away in order to ensure the fastest speed when they fled. Now, they could only watch helplessly. That would be crying without tears.

There were spirit jades in the formation's eye, but they didn't have much Qi-it was obvious that they'd been used. Lin Yi put the useless jades into the Jade space and exchanged for 3600 pieces of high-tier spirit jades. He quickly stood at the teleportation position and started.

He'd experienced the teleportation process more than once or twice already, but every time he did it, he'd feel something. It was like a gifted elementary school student facing a difficult math question-he couldn't understand it right away, but after reading it a few times, he'd start to understand it in his own way.

Every time, there would be a little improvement. Maybe one day, he would be able to understand it all.

The entire teleportation process was extremely short, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Yi was in a whole new place. Naturally, there was a teleportation formation under his feet, and in front of him was the iconic forest of the southern island. The scene behind him, however, was a little scary-a huge swamp.

It wasn't strange to see swamps in a primitive place like the southern part of the island. He'd seen it a lot during his escape a month ago, and even earlier, he'd had to use the mud to escape from the old sect. But this was the first time he'd seen such a terrifying swamp behind him.
