Zhi Ling, hearing Old Huang scolding her, also became indignant and stood up, placing her little paw on her waist, and squawking angrily.
“Ahem, ahem, you little marten cub, you dare argue with me? I’m sick, but yet I kindly cooked for you, only for you to create a mess with that demon beast meat. You really have no conscience.” Old Huang said while beginning to cough, his voice full of a desolate weariness.
Hearing Old Huang’s coughing, Zhi Ling seemed to understand something. She hopped onto Old Huang’s head, and began lightly patting it with her small paw.
“Huh, you little miscreant, I didn’t ask for your comfort. Little Lin, how will you compensate me?” Noticing Zhi Ling’s action, Old Huang grabbed her down, laughing and scolding her. Then he turned to look at Lin Yi.
“Tonight, you’ll have plenty of spiritual rice and monster beast meat.” Lin Yi generously waved his hand and said.
Old Huang was immediately filled with smiles. “Good boy, it seems I didn’t misjudge you. I have a jug of wine at home. Let’s drink until we can’t stand.”
Lin Yi, laughing, nodded, and went into the yard with Old Huang to cook. He directly took out some monster beast meat from his storage bag. The storage bag had no air, so the meat could typically be preserved for a long time.
At this time, Old Huang leaned over, and he couldn’t help but say, “Old Huang, you don’t need to help. Go and rest inside.”
Old Huang looked at the demon beast meat, hesitated for a moment, and then coughed. “Ahem, do you have any kidney from a monster beast? I’ve been feeling a little weak recently and want to nourish myself.”
“Pfft, you should behave yourself a bit more. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll end up in the Valley of Pleasure sooner or later.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, before finally saying it helplessly.
“Even if I die, I want to die in the arms of Sister Xiao Qing. Hurry up and fix me something!” Old Huang snorted and said.
“Ok, let me fry a plate for you.” Lin Yi had no choice but to agree. He took out a monster beast kidney from his storage bag and started to stir fry it.
Kidneys are the source of power for humans, and this is also true for monster beasts who focus on body refinement. Therefore, the nutrients contained in this beast’s kidney were not small. For ordinary people, it would literally nourish them to death; only cultivators could digest it.
When Li Yuan Qing left, he not only put two thousand talisman templates in the storage bag, but also some monster beast meat, which was enough for him to eat for a while.
Lin Yi cooked a few dishes, then steamed a pot of spiritual rice. After they were served on the table, he also served some to Big Black, Little Black, and Zhi Ling. Then, the two of them started to eat and drink.
Old Huang was fixated on the monster beast kidneys. It seemed he was planning to enjoy the entire plate by himself. As he ate, he also started coughing, seeming indeed a little weak.
“Old Huang, are you OK?” Lin Yi, observing Old Huang’s worsening cough, couldn’t help but ask out of concern.
“I’m fine, I’m not going to die. These kidneys are really well-fried.” Old Huang laughed and waved his hand, not forgetting to use his chopsticks to pick up another piece of kidney.
A thought entered Lin Yi’s mind as he glanced at Zhi Ling in his peripheral vision. He couldn’t help asking, “Old Huang, do you think humans are also a kind of animal?”
Old Huang was somewhat surprised and said, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden? We are people who can become immortals. How could we be like beasts?”
“It’s said that we were created by ancient immortals and have a unique spirituality. Even barbaric monsters, when they cultivate to their ultimate form, will transform into human beings. This shows how special we humans are.”
“That does make sense.” Lin Yi nodded in agreement, covertly opening his title interface and switching to [Junior Dung Cleaner].
Then, he picked up another pair of chopsticks, took a piece of kidney from the dish, and put it into Old Huang’s bowl. “Here, Old Huang.”
Seeing the kidney Lin Yi had placed in his bowl, Old Huang waved his hand and said, “Little Lin, why are you being so formal? There’s no need to serve me food.
“It’s fine, eat it.” Lin Yi picked up another piece with his chopsticks. Based on earthly biological knowledge, humans indeed belong to the animal kingdom.
In this world full of mythic cultivation, who knows? So, it’s worth a try. Maybe there’s a chance of awakening his ancestral bloodline.
Looking at Lin Yi’s actions, a sudden unease arose in Old Huang’s mind. “Little Lin, did you poison the kidneys? I have a feeling that something’s strange about your gaze.”
“Huh, what are you thinking? I just appreciate the help you’ve given me and want you to eat more.” Lin Yi served a few more dishes before Old Huang and patted his shoulder.
“What’s with you? I feel like I’m about to die, and you’re giving me a good meal before I go.” Old Huang said, speechless.
Unable to suppress his laughter, Lin Yi sat back down. “I’m just showing my appreciation, don’t think too much. I haven’t been able to finish my meals recently, so I will often bring some to you.”
He had to give it a try; what if the [Junior Dung Cleaner] title could also be effective for humans? He shouldn’t limit the scope of the title.
“Your gratitude is making me slightly embarrassed.” Old Huang shook his head, then changed the topic, asking, “Did you put kidney in the meal you sent me?”
“Where would I get so many kidneys for you? Aren’t you afraid of dying from over-nourishment? Every time you eat a plate of kidneys, a monster beast cub is killed,” grumbled Lin Yi, feeling utterly helpless with this old lecher.
“Alright, I’ll come over to your place every night.” Old Huang agreed immediately. Who would be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal?
Lin Yi nodded and began eating, not knowing if the [Junior Dung Cleaner] title had any effect on him. After all, he ate his meals every day, which was, in essence, like feeding himself.
He wouldn’t comment on anything else, but every day when he looked in the mirror, he seemed to find his handsome appearance increasingly pleasing. Could this be an increase in an affection index?
After Old Huang left, he took out a Storage Symbol from his Storage Bag. Ever since his talisman-making skill reached Great Perfection, he figured out how to make Storage Symbols. He bought some materials and made a few for his own use.
The items in this Storage Symbol belonged to a cultivator from the Xuan Yin Sect. While the other talismans were not important, the crucial point was the inclusion of more than ten already-inscribed Communication Talisman Scrolls.
This means that once these Communication Talisman Scrolls are activated, they will fly to the hands of the person who cast the ritual. The implication is already very clear.
Lin Yi lightly stroked the Storage Symbol in his hand. The Xuan Yin Sect, being of the same scale as the Liu Yun Sect, would surely have developed a meticulous retaliation plan as well.
If nothing unexpected occurred, the Xuan Yin Sect might already know of this person’s death. By tomorrow, these Communication Talisman Scrolls will become futile.
Cultivators can conceal their own aura to shield them from being tracked by these Communication Talisman Scrolls. Otherwise, it would be awkward to be ambushed while a Communication Talisman Scroll flies in.
After a brief contemplation, he left his room and went to the place where he usually met Li Yuan Qing, and activated one of the Communication Talisman Scrolls.
After a while, a sword light flew over and slowly descended. It was Lord of Sinong Palace, Zhou Yun Feng, the elder disciple under Gold Sword Zen Ren, and Li Yuan Qing’s senior brother.
He looked at Lin Yi and spoke calmly, “You must be Lin Yi. Junior Brother Yuan Qing had instructed me before he left that he would contact me today. Do you have talismans to deliver?”
Lin Yi saluted him with a fist and took out more than ten Communication Talisman Scrolls, “Master Zhou, I will deliver the talismans at the end of the month. I have something else to discuss.”
Having said that, he handed over the talismans, “These are the Communication Talisman Scrolls obtained from a Xuan Yin Sect cultivator. They seem to be inscribed. I don’t know if they are useful.”
Zhou Yun Feng took the talismans and examined them. He then said, “Whether they are useful or not would require further investigation. If they prove to be useful, I will credit you accordingly.”
“As a cultivator who has started making Exorcism Charms, I have enmity with the Xuan Yin Sect. I am not seeking merit for this. I hope the Hall Master can keep this a secret,” Lin Yi quickly interjected.
Zhou Yun Feng smiled lightly, nodded, and said, “Yuan Qing said that you are cautious, and it is indeed true. I will keep this a secret.”
These people had made painstaking efforts to infiltrate. Fearful of not only the act of revenge, finding out the creator of the Supreme-grade Evil-repelling Talisman was their primary mission.
Zhou Yun Feng waved his hand slightly and then asked, “You are also known as
Spirit Farmer, right? How is the growth of the Spirit Rice going?”
“It’s growing well at the moment. It should be a bountiful year.” Lin Yi answered simply. He planned to upgrade the Cloud Rain Technique to Great Perfection soon, which should make the nutrients of the Spirit Rice richer.
“I’ve heard you have a knack for farming. Now that you’ve chosen to stay in the Spiritual Field, don’t forget about your primary work,” Zhou Yun Feng reminded.
“I will keep that in mind.” Lin Yi saluted and then watched as Zhou Yun Feng departed.
Suddenly, a pop-up appeared in front of him, stating that [Little Mercy, Little Sympathy] had gained 20 experience points, and the level had been raised to Second Tier.
When he returned from outdoor cultivation, he didn’t take off his Merciful Title, but kept wearing it to fend off the attacks of Evil Spirits. Were these 20 experience points earned because he handed over the Communication Talisman Scrolls?
Looking at the title, Lin Yi seemed to understand. Little Mercy, Little Sympathy. Perhaps it was because the Xuan Yin Sect cultivators, who had infiltrated into the Liu Yun Sect’s range, might have caused the death of innocent people. His actions could be seen as indirectly saving them..
