The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

At the instant he was flung out, Lin Yi activated the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind to neutralize the force, landing lightly outside the Cave Mansion.

Looking at the Cave Mansion now shrouded in mist, he was somewhat speechless. He had been at the Liu Yun Sect for almost a year and had never seen a Foundation Building cultivator with such a volatile temper.

He lifted his hand, looked at the Spirit Pet Bag in his grasp. This was a precious item, similar to a Storage Bag and having its own internal space. The difference was, a Storage Bag lacked air and couldn’t store living creatures, while a Spirit Pet Bag could.

The ability to store living creatures made it more than ten times more expensive, almost at par with the cost of a Flying Sword.

Lin Yi arrived at the Ferry Platform of the Raging Fire Peak, piloted a Flying Boat, and headed towards Tian Yun Xian City. He held the token given by Fire Fierce, a badge shaped like a flame with the word ‘Fierce’ written on it.

It seemed that Raging Fire Peak was named after Fire Fierce.

After accepting the task, the disciple at the counter in the Merit Hall carefully reminded him not to let the Fire Spirit Bird burn down his house. Apparently, a disciple of Fire Fierce had once agreed to look after the Fire Spirit Bird. He went out for a bit, and when he returned, he found his house reduced to ashes.

Lin Yi expressed his thanks and then left Tian Yun Xian City.

Back at the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, he first took Zhi Ling out from the pocket of his clothes. The little creature looked somewhat depressed and did not act as lively as usual – it seemed to have been shocked by Fire Fierce’s words.

He smiled and rubbed Zhi Ling’s head. “Zhi Ling, don’t get discouraged. Keep trying. I believe that you can awaken your bloodline and become a famed Lightning Mink in the cultivation world. Moreover, I will help you because we are forever partners, aren’t we?”

Hearing his words, Zhi Ling nodded heavily and started to run wildly on the wheel.

Watching the small creature’s diligent efforts, Lin Yi opened the Title System to check his current Virtue Points. During that encounter with a Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator, he had consumed all his accumulated four hundred or so Virtue Points.

More than three hundred of those points were used for the entry-level breakthrough of the Technique of Transforming Clouds into Wind, and the remaining hundred or so were used up while confronting the Xuan Yin Sect cultivator.

In the subsequent period, he cultivated while continuing to save the corpses to obtain Virtue Points. Now, he had accumulated about 300 Virtue Points again.

However, the entry-level breakthrough of the Technique of Transforming

Clouds into Wind had directly cost him more than 300 points. Not to mention a Lightning Mink with degenerated bloodline. If he wanted to restore its bloodline under the “Little Luck” title, these points were far from enough.

Lin Yi pondered for a bit and decided to seize the time to improve his cultivation level. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, these basic titles might upgrade to the next stage, further increasing the probability of awakening.

Tomorrow, he also planned to visit the Scripture Palace to inquire about any suitable cultivation methods for monster beasts with degenerated bloodlines. Even a low-level cultivation method would work – he could let Zhi Ling practice it to improve its strength slightly.

Moreover, he felt he should start cultivating an attack spell. Without any methods of spells, merely overpowering with cultivation levels wouldn’t work. He couldn’t possibly rely on the ‘Geng Metal Finger’ technique forever.

Lin Yi looked at the Spirit Pet Bag in his hand, projected his divine sense into it, and discovered that the Fire Spirit Bird seemed to have become impatient staying inside. Yet, it did not attack the Spirit Pet Bag, probably because it was trained by Fire Fierce Senior Uncle.

He wouldn’t easily let the bird out. Once released, it would surely attack him. He decided to wait for a day or two, to tame the bird’s temperament.

He then placed several Spirit Stones, activated the Spirit Gathering Array, wore three titles that increased cultivation speed, and started cultivating. His current cultivation speed was only twenty to thirty percent slower than that under the “Color is Void” title.

However, the third-level “Color is Void” title’s 20-70% cultivation speed bonus was impossible to max out unless he met an exceptionally beautiful female cultivator.

However, the only thing lacking was the increase in spell and skill speed. The ‘fury’ from the “Small Impatience Leads to Huge Blunders” title only increased his cultivation speed, not the speed of improving spells and skills.

Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes, activated the Creation Secret, and started cultivating. The later stages of the Qi Refinement Realm progressed slower, but fortunately, he had the effect of the titles which tripled his cultivation speed.

The next day, he went to the Scripture Hall of Golden Sword Peak. After asking Elder Liu, he got an expected result. The reason monster beasts could cultivate was due to their inherited bloodlines. These bloodlines not only retained their ancestors’ cultivation methods but also equated to human’s spiritual roots.

A Lightning Mink with a degenerated bloodline was equivalent to an ordinary mink. Without a bloodline, it’s like having no spiritual root and hence, impossible to cultivate into a monster beast.

Otherwise, any intelligent ordinary animal could become a monster beast. If that was the case, there would be monster beasts everywhere, directly occupying the human world.

Elder Liu advised him to feed it more monster beast meat to increase its physical strength, which was the only way to enhance its strength.

Lin Yi had already guessed this. Otherwise, Gold Sword Zen Ren wouldn’t have casually thrown it to Li Yuan Qing to raise.

Subsequently, under Elder Liu’s recommendation, after looking through some attack spells that a Qi Refining Cultivator could learn, he chose a fire element technique called Flame Flying Fire.

This was a technique that a mid-level Qi Refiner could learn. As for more powerful techniques, it wasn’t that none existed, but that he lacked sufficient
