Chapter 86, Fourth Incarnation: The Treasure Rat and the Taoist Boy
A gray fog blanketed the area.
A state of chaos.
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Li heard the voices of two young Taoist boys talking.
"Amo, do you think our master is getting senile?"
"They traded that Xuanfeng Feather Fan magic weapon and the Mountain-Suppressing Seal for this mere stone egg?"
"Even if there's some kind of spirit beast inside this stone egg, who knows how long it will take to raise it to adulthood? And wouldn't Master have to share some of the elixirs he refines with this soon-to-be-born spirit beast?"
"Big dumpling, how dare you speak ill of your master? You're getting bolder and bolder."
"My master has his own reasons."
"We apprentices just need to listen."
"This spirit beast must be extraordinary, since Master exchanged two magic treasures for it. I think Master even cursed that old monster with red fangs."
"No matter what, whatever kind of spirit beast pops out of this stone egg in the future, Master will definitely take it very seriously."
...
The sound was quite clear at first, but then it began to become muffled.
The mist that had been thinning around him thickened again, obscuring his surroundings.
At the same time, the two young Taoist boys stopped talking abruptly.
"Amo, big dumplings..."
"These must be the names of those two young Taoist disciples."
"The stone eggs they're talking about must be the Xuan Yuan Treasure-Devouring Rat bloodline I've chosen in this life."
Lin Li was able to deduce some details from the conversation between the two young Taoist disciples.
The fourth generation.
The Xuan Yuan Treasure-Devouring Rat, before its reincarnation, was aided by numerous bloodline projections accumulated in its previous life.
His bloodline aptitude has been improved all the way to the upper third tier, possessing the aptitude of the late Core Formation stage.
With such talent, there is even a sliver of hope for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
What they didn't expect was that the Xuan Yuan Treasure-Devouring Rat bloodline in this life seemed to have been obtained by the master of these two Daoist disciples.
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Li sensed that outside the gray mist and chaos, streams of pure spiritual energy were constantly flowing into his body from the outside world.
It constantly nourishes itself, and even before it is born, it already possesses the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining.
Furthermore, due to the improvement of his own realm, he was able to hear the conversation between the two Daoist boys outside for a certain period of time each time.
"Amo, the spirit essence liquid Master gave me tastes really good, and the spiritual energy contained in this liquid is truly abundant!"
"Stop it for a bit. This spirit essence liquid is for the spirit beast inside that stone. If there's a shortage of it..."
"Just wait until your master's thunder whip kills you."
"What's there to be cowardly about?"
"With this spiritual essence liquid, I will surely be able to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
"Taking a few lashes was worth it, absolutely worth it!"
...
A mist began to rise.
Lin Li, who was in a state of chaos, was aware of his current situation. It was not bad, as he was able to receive spiritual energy to nourish his spiritual embryo from time to time.
From the conversation between the two young Taoist boys, we also learned some information about this place.
I don't know how much time passed.
Every so often, Lin Li would have an opportunity to be nourished by spiritual energy, and his cultivation level advanced from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining.
This continued for four times.
Lin Li's own cultivation level has also been raised to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
It felt like several years had passed.

In the chaotic world that was originally filled with gray mist, a blinding crack suddenly appeared, and the crack continued to expand.
Driven by instinct, Lin Li extended a small, fluffy white paw from the deathly still gray fog and grabbed one side of the crack.
He poked his head out.
They've finally seen the light of day again.
What came into view was a thin old man wearing a blue robe and sporting a goatee, with a few simple bamboo patterns drawn on his robe.
Now, the old man in the blue robe is stroking his goatee, looking at Lin Li who has emerged from the stone with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Li felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at!
Just then, the thin old man formed a hand seal, and a wisp of green light flew out from between his eyebrows and merged into Lin Li's sea of consciousness.
Lin Li immediately felt that an extremely strong restriction had been placed on his soul. After the restriction appeared, it disappeared into the depths of his soul.
This clearly demonstrates the profound mystery of this restriction.
In addition, a cultivation technique that could be practiced all the way to the late Core Formation stage also emerged within the restriction: the Earth Vein Devouring Spirit Technique.
The old man in the green robe must have been at least in the late stage of Core Formation to be able to set up such a restriction so easily.
It could even be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, with the support of the Reincarnation Disc in this life, Lin Li's aptitude was raised to the upper level of the third tier, allowing him to cultivate all the way to the late stage of Core Formation.
I learned from the conversation between the two Taoist boys that they had exchanged two magic treasures for him, so their own cultivation level must be quite high.
"Brilliant!"
"The aptitude for the late stage of Core Formation."
"This Treasure-Devouring Rat, which I obtained from Old Ghost Red Fang, actually possesses such talent."
"This treasure-devouring rat is much more powerful than its two brothers."
"It will definitely be the one that plays the most important role in the future."
At this moment, Yun Youzi, dressed in a blue robe, planted a restriction within the soul of this Treasure-Devouring Rat with a wisp of his Nascent Soul divine sense. He then ascertained the Treasure-Devouring Rat's bloodline aptitude, and couldn't help but feel joy in his eyes.
He got the cheapest Treasure-Eating Mouse he could get, and surprisingly, he actually got a bargain.
At this moment, Lin Li finally saw clearly the two Daoist boys behind the old man in the green robe, one fat and one thin.
The thinner one had dark skin and wore a black robe. He also had a single horn on his forehead, and the aura he exuded was unlike that of a human.
A pair of orange-yellow eyes looked at Lin Li with great curiosity.
The one next to him was a plump, white-robed Taoist boy, who also stared wide-eyed at Lin Li, who was peeking out.
"From today onwards, he will be your junior brother."
"As your teacher, I can say that I have accepted another disciple."
"I'm very happy today!"
"I'll open a jar of fine wine made from century-old bamboo."
Yun Youzi said with great pride.
"Master, it's only been a hundred years!"
"What's the point of keeping this thousand-year-old spirit bamboo wine?"
"Give my disciple a sip."
The plump, white-robed young Taoist, after hearing his master's stinginess, said with a helpless tone.
"Are you asking for a beating?"
"How could you juniors possibly drink the Thousand-Year Spirit Bamboo Wine?"
Yun Youzi glanced down at the white-robed Taoist boy beside him, and a lightning whip crackling with purple electricity suddenly flew out from the tip of his right index finger, sending the white-robed Taoist boy flying and slamming him heavily against the rock wall.
The white-robed Taoist boy, whose entire body was covered in purple arcs of electricity, convulsed a few times before collapsing to the ground from the rock wall, emanating a burnt smell.
"I am a wandering teacher."
"From now on, you will be my fourth disciple."
"Let's name it Jin Dou (Golden Bean)."
Yun Youzi raised his hand and took out a first-grade, high-quality earth-element treasure gourd, which he presented to Lin Li, speaking in a gentle tone.
These golden beans are the key to obtaining treasure in the future!
We must not afford to lose.
"Yes, Master."
At this moment, Lin Li pretended to be afraid and glanced at the large dumpling that had been flung more than a hundred paces away, then nodded obediently.
