Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Eh? Why did your feathers change?" Lin Yi's voice suddenly sounded from the side, his eyes flashing with a never before seen spirit. If you looked closely, you would see that he was reborn from head to toe, and his calm temperament was a little different, extraordinary.

Without a doubt, Lin Yi was now a true-blue early nascent Soul Master. After using two golden cores and a pool of Star Ink milk, he finally reached the strongest nascent soul!

Before this, Lin Yi was able to take on 99% of late stage nascent soul cultivators with his peak Jindan stage strength. Now that he was in the early stage of nascent soul, he could even take on a peak stage nascent soul cultivator. If it was someone else, even if they were at the strongest stage of nascent soul, they would only be the strongest in the same level. He had never heard of an early stage nascent soul cultivator taking on a peak stage nascent soul cultivator. This was a fantasy, but it was true when it happened to Lin Yi.

Feeling the earth-shaking changes in his body, Lin Yi didn't forget to observe the changes in the bird. In the ten days he formed his nascent soul, the bird was just soaking in the star Ink milk, but it rose from the late-stage of golden core to the full-stage of golden core!

Even Lin Yi found this unbelievable. It wasn't that he'd never seen anyone level up so quickly-he was a special case himself, after all, but someone who leveled up so quickly to become a spirit Bird was something he'd never even heard of before. Going from Foundation peak to golden core late stage in three months was already ridiculous enough, and now it only took ten days to go from the latter to the peak of the Golden core stage-this simply flipped his outlook on life upside down ...

"Ji ji ji!" The spirit Bird shook its feathers at Lin Yi in excitement. Not only were the feathers brighter, but they were also longer. However, Lin Yi was helpless when the bird splashed the star Ink milk on his head.

"There's also a golden core of the nascent Soul Stage. Do you want to try it?" Lin Yi suddenly said as he took out the last golden core and handed it to the bird.

"Ji Ji!" The spiritual bird's eyes lit up and it immediately swallowed it. Then, it began to flap around in the star Ink milk.

"Hehe, you're not being polite with me." Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. Although he did it on a whim, and this golden elixir was enough to make a bunch of Masters fight for it outside, it was now eaten by a spiritual bird. It was child's play no matter how he looked at it. However, he didn't feel that it was a pity. He still had almost an entire baby ginseng anyway, and he could refine another golden elixir at any time. Moreover, this spiritual bird was Huang xiaotao's spirit pet, so it was his own spirit pet. After all, he shouldn't let his fertile water flow into others 'fields.

Seeing that the bird was struggling, Lin Yi smiled and walked out of the hole. He sat down cross-legged on the ground. He had just entered the early stage of nascent soul, and not only did he need to stabilize his strength, but he also needed to study the martial skills he had. If he couldn't level them up, it would be troublesome when he fought with other people in the future.

There were the thousand explosive fist of raging fire, the eight trigrams palm of raging fire, the thousand flaming legs, and the Super Arts and the ultimate Arts-these were all things that Lin Yi needed to figure out. Especially the latter two, he needed to find a way to combine them with other skills and create an enhanced version of the Super butterfly microsteps and the Super limit butterfly microsteps. It would be a powerful skill for him to use against his enemies in the future.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Just as Lin Yi was getting excited, the bird's excited cry came from beside him. It jumped out of the star Ink milk, giving off a completely different feeling. It had an ethereal feeling to it, a sign that only flying spirit beasts would show after they reached a certain level.

"You've reached the nascent soul realm?!" Lin Yi's jaw dropped as he grinned, speechless. He'd thought that he was leveling up fast enough, but compared to this bird, he was like a snail! How did this bird level up so fast?

"Ji ji ji!" The spirit Bird nodded at Lin Yi, its newly-gained nascent soul aura fully revealed.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so surprised. It's not just your luck to be able to come to this place, it's also a great opportunity for it. It's reasonable for it to be where it is today." The ghastly thing interrupted with a smile.

"This is reasonable? Senior, are you trying to tell me that all spirit beasts level up like this?" Lin Yi was speechless. If all other spirit beasts leveled up this fast, the spirit beast race would be invincible already.

"That's not it. There's a reason why this spiritual bird can level up so quickly. After all, the spiritual Qi in this place is so rich that it can be said to be rare in the world. Although there is the pressure of the five elements killing intent, most of it is directed at you, and the share of it on this fellow is negligible. It just needs to pick up the remaining spiritual Qi that is not offensive and absorb it, and it can level up quickly." The ghastly thing explained.

"It's that simple?" Lin Yi raised a brow, still finding it unbelievable. It was too much, after all.

"How complicated do you think it will be? don't forget that there's still so much Star Ink milk and the Golden core you gave me. Plus, this spiritual bird's aptitude isn't that good, so it's not strange at all that it has reached the Yuanying stage." The ghastly thing didn't seem to mind.

"Isn't it strange that her aptitude isn't that good?" Lin Yi was taken aback-it sounded like poor aptitudes were the only way to level up faster ... What the hell was this logic?

"That's right. If it were any other spirit beast here, especially those with better aptitude, even if they were blessed by the heavens with this kind of environment, they might not be able to advance many levels. This is because we spirit beasts are different from you humans. You human cultivators advance faster with better aptitudes, but we spirit beasts are the exact opposite. The better the aptitudes of the spirit beast race, the more resources they need to advance each level because of the higher the race's innate talent, and naturally the slower their advancement is. On the other hand, this spiritual bird's racial talent can only be considered to be below average, so it'll naturally level up much faster. " The ghastly thing explained with a smile.

"I see, this is the first time I've heard of it." Lin Yi understood now-the better a spirit beast was, the slower it was to level up, but it was undeniable that they were strong-they were completely different from human practitioners in this aspect.

After the bird calmed down from the joy of reaching nascent soul, Lin Yi jumped on its back and ordered it to check on the upper level of the five poisons swamp. It had been twenty days, and Lin Yi wanted to know if the two were still there or if the West Mountain sect master had finally given up. After all, it would be too late if they didn't leave before the deadline. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
