The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Last time, he awakened the Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink Bloodline, with a burst of pink light erupting from his body.

But now there was no reaction, suggesting that this first feeding did not trigger the 16% probability.

Lin Yi patted Zhi Ling’s head, grinning, “Don’t give up, Zhi Ling. We still have plenty of opportunities, so keep it up.”

He glanced at the title panel, noticing that the feeding session had used up several hundred virtue points.

Once again, he took out a piece of Monster Beast Meat and fed it to Zhi Ling, and his desire for Zhi Ling to awaken the Lightning Mink Bloodline was still strong.

The moment Zhi Ling swallowed the piece of Monster Beast Meat, a burst of white light erupted from her body.

Zhi Ling then closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep and slowly fell to the ground, the light gradually enveloping her entire body.

A surprised expression appeared on Lin Yi’s face as he clapped his hands, it was said that the pattern of the Lightning Mink was a white lightning shape, and this burst of white light was likely the Lightning Mink Bloodline.

He immediately checked the title panel and found out that it cost 10,000 virtue points, leaving him stunned.

You have to know, when initially awakening the Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink Bloodline, it only consumed less than two thousand virtue points. Now it is five times higher.

However, the concentration of the Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink bloodline he awakened last time seemed somewhat thin. If the concentration of the bloodline is related to the consumed virtue points, then his 10,000 virtue points will lend to a stronger bloodline in Zhi Ling.

After stopping the ‘Little Luck’ status, Lin Yi stayed by Zhi Ling’s side. Unlike last time, the white aura this time lasted nearly half an hour before slowly receding back into her body.

At the same time, he also felt a violent aura emanating from Zhi Ling’s body, as if a force was slowly awakening within her.

This aura, like lightning, was full of wild, uncontrollable energy; it was safe to conclude now that it was indeed the Lightning Mink Bloodline.

Three days later, the violent aura radiating from Zhi Ling finally subsided, and her body lit up with a white light once more.

Then, the white light gradually contracted, gathering at her forehead. The light flashed once, then disappeared.

At this time, Lin Yi noticed that Zhi Ling’s forehead, where there once was just a pink fault line-like pattern hiding something, had been replaced.

There, within the pink pattern, there was now a white lightning mark. Although it was in the crack, it was incredibly conspicuous.

It was as if at any moment it would burst forth from the crevice, carrying with it a powerful, oppressive force.

A hint of joy emerged on Lin Yi’s face. It seems that the density of the Lightning Mink’s bloodline Zhi Ling awakened this time would not be low.

With the luck granted by the [Face Difficulties Head On] title and after consuming 10,000 virtue points, it was only logical the awakened bloodline wouldn’t be thin.

You have to know, even a Red Evil Spirit equivalent to the Golden Core Realm gave only 10,000 virtue points.

When the Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink bloodline connection was awakened last time, it was incredibly thin. Zhi Ling had slept for several days before awakening, so this denser bloodline would probably require a month’s worth of sleep.

Lin Yi pulled out his Alchemy Furnace Talisman and guarded Zhi Ling while making elixirs. His current high-order alchemy skill had reached the Grandmaster level. With the effect of his title and the special effect of the Alchemy Technique played on the zither, when refining Gathering Yuan Pills, about 70% of them were of supreme quality among ten batches.

Considering the effect of the Alchemy title, if he made Supreme-grade pills, there was a 50% chance of gaining two strands of Pill Flame.

And this “supreme” quality was not due to the quality increase from the title, but the result of his actual ability.

If he made a Top-grade Quality Elixir, even with the add-on of the 40% quality improvement from the title making it a Supreme-grade pill, that wouldn’t gain any Pill Flame.

After secluding himself in the cave mansion for a month, Lin Yi refined more than a dozen Gathering Yuan Pills and obtained more than a dozen pill flames. Unfortunately, the refining of the supreme-grade Gathering Yuan Pills did not trigger the effect of [Face Difficulties Head On].

After all, with his high-order alchemy skills of his at the grandmaster level, producing a supreme-grade Gathering Yuan Pill has ceased to be a challenge. Creating a supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pill, on the other hand, might trigger this effect.

However, the amount of time required to manufacture a Gold Coagulation Pill is multiple times that of a Gathering Yuan Pill and is not suitable for skill advancement or obtaining pill flames.

During this month, there was no significant change in Zhi Ling’s body. Its fur remained as purple in color, and it had not turned white as lightning.

It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, even the movement of alchemy could not elicit any reaction from it.

On the second day after the passage of a month, Zhi Ling slowly woke up. Upon seeing Lin Yi, it eagerly latched onto his arm, excitedly rubbing against it.

When it rushed over, Zhi Ling seemed to inadvertently use its bloodline power, flying over like a bolt of lightning.

Lin Yi gently patted its head and laughed, saying, “Zhi Ling, congratulations on finally achieving your wish. You’ve awakened the power of the Lightning Mink. Come, let’s eat first. After the meal, show me how well you’ve progressed.”

He placed the food that had been prepared earlier in front of Zhi Ling.

Seeing these delicious dishes, Zhi Ling’s eyes, including the lightning patterns above, lit up. It grabbed the food with its tiny paws and began stuffing it into its mouth non-stop.

After finishing its meal, Lin Yi took Zhi Ling into the courtyard of the cave mansion where Zhi Ling began to use its bloodline ability. The white lightning mark on its forehead emitted a faint glow. Afterward, Zhi Ling, with lightning surrounding it, began to dash rapidly around in the courtyard.

Even though its bloodline had just awakened, Zhi Ling’s speed had already increased several times compared to before, similar to that of lightning.

If this bloodline power were cultivated, it would indeed be remarkably astonishing and cultivators would find it hard to discern its whereabouts.

By the looks of it, the Lightning Mink bloodline that Zhi Ling had awakened this time should not be weaker than what its parents had inherited.

“Zhi Ling, come back.” Lin Yi, looking at the flashing Zhi Ling in the courtyard, said with a smile.

Zhi Ling quickly charged towards him with lightning all around, shouting all the while as if it was in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. He guessed that this little guy had run too fast due to its freshly awakened bloodline and couldn’t stop in time.

He released his spiritual power to help Zhi Ling slow down, so by the time it crashed into him, its speed had significantly reduced.

As it stopped against his palm, Zhi Ling seemed relieved, but its expression was extremely excited. Its tiny claws made gestures, as if describing its exhilarating experience of running.”

Lin Yi certainly understood. When he first learned to fly on a sword, he had felt the same joy. He patted Zhi Ling’s tiny head, “Now that you have awakened the Lightning Mink bloodline, you need to work hard. I look forward to the day you truly transform into lightning.”

Zhi Ling nodded deeply and started practicing in the courtyard again. But it didn’t run too fast this time. Instead, it first familiarized itself with controlling its bloodline power.

“Zhi Ling, this space is too small. Let’s practice in the secret realm.” Lin Yi called out to Zhi Ling, he was to enter as well and take advantage of the Pill Immortal Master’s teachings by shearing his wool.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhi Ling ran over excitedly. It couldn’t wait to showcase its new abilities to its best friend.

Lin Yi initiated the teleportation mantra, entering the rosy clouds passage. The greatest benefit of the Golden Sword lineage was that unlike other masters, Gold Sword Zen Ren never arranged tasks for his disciples—you could seclude yourself for as long as you wanted, and nobody would interfere.

He directly teleported to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, where the Green Giant Python was also engrossed in cultivation, exhaling and inhaling spiritual energy. Upon seeing him, it gently nodded its head.

At this point, Lin Yi took Zhi Ling out from the spirit pet column. The moment this little guy came out, it used its bloodline ability, sparking with electric light, and began to dash around the herb garden.

The Green Giant Python, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but show a surprised expression. When it left last time, this little guy was not this fast. After only a month, its speed had unexpectedly improved to such an extent, and it seemed to carry the power of lightning.
