The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Upon seeing its mother, the cub began excitedly waving its claws.

The mother mink was overjoyed as she held her cub in her claws, tears welled up in her eyes.

Watching the happy reunion, the male mink, which had been on guard by the side, hastily bowed to Lin Yi, sending him a Divine Intent, “Thank you for your assistance, dear friend. We will never forget your great kindness.”

Before they could voice their fears, this Human Cultivator had directly returned their child, which showed that he had no intention of forcibly keeping the cub.

Furthermore, they had heard rumours in the Monster Forest about the Eastern Sect Master’s exploits, his unrivaled existence among the Heng Yuan Cultivators.

At this time, the mother mink and the cub, after their tender reunion, also came over and knelt before Lin Yi, “Thank you, kind sir, for saving my child.”

If it hadn’t been for Lin Yi’s intervention, they wouldn’t have been able to stop the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs. If they had reached the Xuan Tian Realm, not only might they have been unable to reclaim their cub, they may not have been able to return at all.

“No need for formalities. I sought you out for a reason. Let’s leave this place first.” Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively. Seeing how dearly the pair cared for their child, it seemed that Zhi Ling may not have been abandoned by them after all.

Of course, this was just speculation. It was also possible that Zhi Ling had no bloodline, and was therefore abandoned. After all, the world of Monster Beasts was even more brutal than the Human Cultivation World, a law of the jungle where might makes right.

Lacking a bloodline meant being unable to cultivate, and being forever under the protection of its parents.

At Lin Yi’s words, the two Lightning Minks became tense again, fearing that this powerful Nascent Soul True Monarch might insist on adopting the cub as a Spiritual Pet, as he had previously suggested.

But considering his actions earlier, even if he wanted to adopt the cub, it was clear he wouldn’t force them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so easily returned the cub to them.

The male mink said, after some thought, “Friend, let us return to the depths of the Monster Forest.”

After all, even if one did save their child, they owed him a debt of gratitude and needed to properly express their thanks.

Lin Yi gently nodded, following alongside the two Minks. After placing Zhi Ling in the Spirit Pet Column, he made sure to remove all traces of Zhi Ling’s scent from his person.

If not, the two Lightning Minks would surely smell the scent of their kind.

Durin their journey, he didn’t converse much with the two Minks, occasionally engaging in casual talks. Now that the crisis had been averted, they were not in a hurry, flying at a leisurely pace, always under the cover of the forest canopy, never taking to the open sky.

With the guidance of the Lightning Minks and his reputation as the Eastern Sect Master, they encountered no obstacles.

On their journey, the male mink asked why he had sought them out. Lin Yi replied that this was not the place to discuss such matters.

Just as they were about to enter the depths of the Monster Forest, Lin Yi sensed something and his expression became serious, “My friends, you go ahead. Someone’s coming, I’ll catch up with you later.”

After exchanging a glance, the two Minks, who had felt no presence of Cultivators, sent Lin Yi a Divine Intent, “Friend, what have you sensed? If those people have brought help, we can’t just leave.”

“They’re not here for the cub, they must be looking for me,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“We owe you a debt of gratitude. We can’t just leave you here. We can help,” said the male mink earnestly, chirping twice at the mother mink.

The mother mink nodded, gave Lin Yi a reluctant glance, gratefully waved her claws at him, then quickly disappeared without a word.

After a while, a booming voice echoed from the edge of the Monster Forest, “Eastern Daoist Friend, you rarely visit the Xuan Tian Realm, why the rush to leave? As host, the Dao Ling Zong would like to offer you hospitality, and learn more about this sudden emergence of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.”

Hearing the voice, the male mink’s face paled. It was someone from the Dao Ling Zong! Even though it lived near the Heng Yuan Realm, it had learned about another Cultivation World through some Monster Beast friends.

The Dao Ling Zong was undoubtedly the most powerful Righteous Sect in the Xuan Tian Realm.

Lin Yi flashed and appeared in mid-air over the forest. Not far away, several flying lights were racing towards him, emanating a terrifying oppressive aura.

In the blink of an eye, the flying lights stopped in front of Lin Yi, the oppressive aura hitting him head on.

Yet Lin Yi simply waved his hand, as if swatting at air, and the oppressive aura was negated effortlessly.

He looked at the three in front of him. All were at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Realm. One was bulky and muscular, an expert in Body Refinement. Another had the air of immortal sage, wielding a duster. The last was a woman, elegant and regal, exuding grace and dignity.

“Eastern Daoist Friend, why the hurry to leave? Why not pay a visit to Dao Ling Zong while you’re in the Xuan Tian Realm?” The sage-like elder smilingly said, waving his duster.

The woman appraised Lin Yi and a look of astonishment crossed her face, “The Wan You Sect’s rumor that the Eastern Daoist Friend is unparalleled in beauty is indeed true. Bewitchingly irresistible and extraordinary.”
