Chapter 566: Chapter 586: Mutated Little Sable? _1

Jiulongzhai, Wuhua Pond.

Lin Chen looked at the colorful pool below and slightly closed his eyes, indeed feeling the dense spiritual energy in the air.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell at the end of the pool, where there was a pitch-black mountain cave.

The spiritual place that Zhou Yin found was in that cave. According to Zhou Yin, there should be an underground water vein in the cave, with a deep pool inside. The spiritual energy in the cave was several times denser than outside.

Nightfall, Lin Chen emerged from the nearby mountains and forests like a ghost, and Zhou Yin swooped out from the dark cave like a night owl, landing on the rocks with a light tap and then stood beside Lin Chen.

"Brother Chen!"

Lin Chen hummed, looked at Zhou Yin, and smiled: "Actually, the spiritual energy of each spiritual place is limited. By calling me here, you’ve lost out."

Zhou Yin chuckled and said: "Sharing joy is better than enjoying alone. Good things should be shared with good friends, that’s what makes it happier. Moreover, if it weren’t for you, Brother Chen, helping me enter cultivation and letting me understand my own path, I would still be a cultivator in the Nei Qi Realm unable to improve."

After a pause, Zhou Yin looked around and asked: "Where’s Sister-in-law?"

Lin Chen smiled lightly and said: "She’s not coming, don’t worry about her."

Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue had discussed this matter. Chu Jiaxue refused to come. Firstly, as Lin Chen said, the amount of spiritual energy is limited, and the more people come, the less everyone would be able to cultivate. Secondly, she has already joined Penglai and there is no need to compete with Lin Chen and Zhou Yin for these limited spiritual resources. When the time comes, she can return to Penglai and have plenty of cultivation time.

Lin Chen didn’t force her, thinking that since the spiritual place was discovered by Zhou Yin, he should at least respect her intentions.

It’s like when a host invites you to a meal, and you, as a guest, bring additional people to the feast. It can feel a little embarrassing after all.

Zhou Yin’s eyes were slightly disappointed, but she soon became excited again.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to see how amazing Lin Chen’s wife is, but now that she’s not coming, won’t it just be her and Lin Chen by themselves?

Excited!

"Let’s go!"

The two made their way through the Wuhua pond and entered the cave under the glow of a flashlight.

In the center of the cave was a pool, surrounded by a large circle of chaotic stones and overgrown wild grass. As Lin Chen shone his flashlight over it, he could see the lush green wild grass, brimming with vitality.

Zhou Yin led Lin Chen to the inner side of the pool, which she had obviously tidied up. The wild grass was cleared away, leaving a large open space, and next to it was a big bag of food and water.

Zhou Yin took a cushion from the side and handed it to Lin Chen: "I have prepared food and water for you, so you can cultivate peacefully. If you want to eat something hot or take a bath, we can go out, there’s a hotel in the scenic area."

"Alright!"

With limited time, the two began their cultivation after a brief exchange.

As Lin Chen circulated Haoran Jue, the spiritual energy poured into his body like a spring, and his strength increased at a perceptible rate.

At midnight, Lin Chen was awakened by a rustling sound.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, picked up his flashlight, and shone it at the source of the sound, only to see the dense wild grass.

The sound came from within the wild grass, indicating that something was moving through it.

"Brother Chen, don’t worry, it’s a small animal, like an otter."

Zhou Yin’s voice rang out as Lin Chen asked while searching with his flashlight: "Have you seen it?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yin explained: "At first, I was worried it might be a venomous snake, so I was very cautious and wanted to catch it. Later, I found it was about the size of an adult cat. Its nest is in the rock wall opposite to us, and it catches fish in the deep pool every day. It’s very good at diving and can stay underwater for a long time..."

Lin Chen immediately let go of his worries, as he too was afraid that there might be venomous snakes hiding in the grass, which could bite him when he least expected it while he was in deep cultivation.

"Does it attack people?"

Zhou Yin shook her head: "It’s very cautious of humans and never approaches us. I originally wanted to catch it to see what it is, but it’s very clever and incredibly fast. It can easily dive into the cave or the water, so after failing to catch it twice, I gave up. We’re neighbors now, living in peace."

Lin Chen, curious, asked: "How fast is it?"

Zhou Yin replied with a smile: "Like lightning. With a whoosh, it can cover seven or eight meters and only leaves an afterimage. I don’t know if it’s because it has been living in this spiritual place that its body has mutated, but it’s very powerful."

Mutation?

As Lin Chen thought about it, he found it not impossible for the dense spiritual energy to cause even common wild grass to grow up to one or two meters high. It wouldn’t be strange for animals to experience some kind of mutation to strengthen their bodies.

"Since we live in peace, let’s continue to be neighbors."

Although Lin Chen found the creature somewhat novel, he didn’t have a strong urge to catch it. He turned off the flashlight and closed his eyes again...
