Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a tickling sensation on his neck, causing him to look away from the panel. He saw Zhi Ling rubbing his face aggressively. He chuckled and caught Zhi Ling with his hand, stroking his fur continuously. He used to stroke cats back on Earth, but here he was stroking a mink…wait, something didn’t seem right.
“Zhi Ling, is everything okay?” He held Zhi Ling in front of his eyes and asked with a smile.
Zhi Ling chirped twice as if to say everything was normal, but his two little eye balls rolled around a couple of times, clearly avoiding eye contact with Lin Yi.
Seeing Zhi Ling avoiding his gaze, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle. He patted Zhi Ling’s small head, “What mischief have you been up to this time, you little rascal
Saying this, he opened the courtyard door. Zhi Ling didn’t hesitate and jumped from his hand onto the surrounding wall and then bolted to the rooftop.
Lin Yi was curious. What trouble had this little guy caused now? Venturing into the yard, he couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Lv Qing Ming’s two dogs fallen into the trap he had set, whimpering helplessly.
He had tossed some drug in the trap that made one’s body go limp, and had dug the pit pretty deep. It’d be a miracle if those two can climb out on their own.
“Didn’t I tell you guys to behave at home and not wander around.” Lin Yi rescued the dogs from the trap and said with a sigh.
The two dogs looked at Zhi Ling, opened their mouths, and were about to bark. Seeing this, Zhi Ling instantly jumped down onto Lin Yi’s shoulder, using its small claws to hold onto Lin Yi’s waist while staring down at the dogs.
Seeing this, the two dogs had no choice but to hang their heads low and whimper.
“You rascal, not even letting them complain.” Lin Yi gave Zhi Ling a light pat. From the tracks in the yard, one could tell that the two dogs had been running in circles, most likely under Zhi Ling’s command.
At this moment, Zhi Ling appeared somewhat uneasy, rubbing against Lin Yi’s face desperately.
Seeing the panic in Zhi Ling’s eyes, Lin Yi laughed and patted Zhi Ling’s head again, saying in a serious tone, “Little guy, I’m not mad at you. It’s a good thing you had them exercising. And I’m not going to abandon you over a little incident. We’re partners, we’re family.”
The uneasiness in Zhi Ling’s eyes finally faded. It regained its cheerful demeanor and reached out its tongue to lick Lin Yi’s face.
Suddenly, a notification popped up in front of him, “[Junior Dung Cleaner] Experience +30.”
He was surprised to see that he had gained 30 experience points. Previously, he had only gained 20 points when Zhi Ling recognized him as its master. He guessed that Zhi Ling might genuinelv consider him its master now, hence the additional points.
Looking at Zhi Ling in his hand, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. The little guy’s cunning and intelligence was indeed the inheritance of the Lightning Mink’s bloodline.
Afterwards, while Zhi Ling continued to run on the wheel, Lin Yi cleaned up the trap in the yard, ate some food, and begun crafting talismans again. After drawing several dozen Raging Fire Talismans, he started to draw the pattern for the Rebirth Charms.
This kind of charm, which had the effect of rebirth and eliminated the possibility of becoming a cultist, also required the addition of special materials. However, the cost of these materials was quite low, making the cost of the Rebirth Charms relatively cheap, and subsequently, they did not sell for much.
During the crafting process, he suddenly remembered the scene of the law enforcement hall expertly dealing with corpses. A flash of insight sparked in his mind. At present, the way to gain a title was to stick to doing certain things.
Even if the title was as meaningless as “avoiding conflict and opting for peace,” he earned it through his actions during conflicts.
If that’s the case, would he gain a relevant title by persisting in performing rites for the dead? The thought intrigued him. Having another title would mean one more way to improve.
However, he couldn’t rely on the Law Enforcement Hall. Except for severely wicked people, the authorities usually didn’t inform in advance about the execution of punishments, nor would they carry out executions outside the mountain gate just like Zhang Yuan Cheng did.
After considering, he decided to go to Qing Yun City to find opportunities. The city was filled with a diverse range of people, and it was common for someone to die every day. Disposing of the bodies was mostly left to the city guards.
They would carry them outside the city, set them on fire, and casually throw a Rebirth Charm on them to finish the job. It was indeed a dirty and tiresome task.
Being an Outer Sect disciple of the Liu Yun Sect, if he volunteered to help, he should not be refused. And the time required was short, it would not delay his cultivation.
Lin Yi looked at his own cultivation progress, he was very close to reaching the peak of the fifth layer. He decided to cultivate to perfection in the next few days, and then rent a Cave Mansion, striving to reach the sixth layer. He was determined to make a breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Refining within the year.
As his cultivation level increased, so did the length of his cultivation sessions. If they remained as they were before, there would be no reflection of the differing strength between cultivation realms. As the layers of Qi Refining increased, the purity of the spiritual energy refined within the body would also increase, as would the resulting spiritual power. The power of the spells he could cast would also increase accordingly.
Correspondingly, he would also need to absorb more spiritual energy. A ton of
Spirit Rice a year could steadily improve his cultivation, but only up to the
third or fourth layer of Qi Refining. After advancing to the fifth layer, he clearly felt that consuming the same amount of Spirit Rice slowed his cultivation progress. Therefore, he had now doubled the amount he consumed to match his previous progression rate.
Most of the Outer Sect Spirit Farmers had cultivation around the third layer. Their inferior spiritual roots made their cultivation progress very slow, taking several years to only advance one layer. Therefore, their consumption of Spirit Rice would remain relatively constant.
A case like Lin Yi, who had advanced from the third layer to the fifth layer in just half a year, simply did not exist among the Outer Sect.
A few days later, after consuming a large amount of Spirit Rice, Lin Yi’s cultivation progress reached the peak of the fifth layer. He spent thirty Spirit Stones again to rent a Cave Mansion for two days.
At the same time, he once again brought the lady into the Cave Mansion, drawing a wave of tuts and raised eyebrows.
Without the title effect of [Color is Void], it was as if he lacked a portion of his cultivation speed. Not to mention, the enlightenment effect was the quickest way to break through the cultivation realm. Without enlightenment, if he relied solely on his innate talent for cultivation, expecting to make a breakthrough within a few days was dreaming.
Upon entering the Cave Mansion, he removed the title [Petty Survivor]. The three titles he now wore were [Newbie] 20%, [Little Tolerance Leads to Greater Schemes] 55%, [Color is Void] 10—50%.
Based on the previous enticing effect, [Color is Void] could reach up to 35% at most. Thus, the total cultivation speed bonus from the three titles was 110%, an increase of more than double.
Accompanying him into the Cave Mansion was a slender long-legged lady named Yuan Yuan. Although her price was not cheap, she was very dedicated. He had tried several girls before; some, after enticing him for a while, started to slack off, accustomed to lying comfortably on the bed while he did the work. The enticing work which required effort but did not bring pleasure to them, they did half-heartedly.
What was worse, some even planned to launch sneak attacks, attempting to disrupt his cultivation. Their actions were nothing short of vile, so like a femme fatale.
“Immortal Master, the Cave Mansion is so comfortable. Let’s start cultivating. I will certainly entice you today until you want to devour me.” Feeling comfortable in the Cave Mansion, Yuan Yuan licked her lips lightly, throwing a seductive glance at Lin Yi, then began to change into her enticing outfit.
Aside from the JK uniform, Lin Yi had also prepared several other outfits for her to change and deepen the enticement.
Lady Yuan Yuan had a natural liking for unusual outfits and she often inferred more than was implied. She actively asked about the meaning of clothes or props.
For example, putting on glasses and a shirt, she could go for the aloof lady or the literary teacher role. She would also discuss with Lin Yi what kind of dialogue best matched the identity. This role-playing enticement reached its peak, even Lin Yi had times where he could barely resist.
The most important thing was that she kept matters secret and would never reveal any information about the client to others. Thus, this lady was simply the conscience of the entertainment industry.
Yuan Yuan put on a white shirt, slipped into black stockings, and held a ruler in her hand. “Master, when you cultivate today, I will instruct you.”
This scene, along with her words, instantly activated the title effect of [Color is Void]. This kind of allure was irresistible even to hardened veterans. Not wasting any time, he activated the Creation Method and began cultivating.
Under the strong allure, the enlightenment effect also increased to 15%, even rising close to 20% at times. As he continued to cultivate, he also gradually gained some understanding of the Creation Method and cultivation in his mind.
Eventually, after several hours, Lin Yi emerged with a peculiar smile on his face, gathering his entire spiritual power and aiming at the bottleneck. Then, he exploded with a powerful aura greater than ever before, and a notice floated in front of him, “Cultivation progress +1..”
