An Lin was dumbstruck upon seeing Dabai's pitiful state.
"Holy f * ck! Dabai, how did you end up like this? Who did this?! "
"A, a groundhog … Woof!"
Da Bai felt like he had been completely humiliated today, and he spoke with a humiliated expression.
An Lin: "…"
He felt like he already knew why Dabai had lost.
"A golden groundhog that's about half the height of a grown man?" An Lin asked.
Dabai's expression shifted. "That's right! Big Brother An, how did you know? Woof! "
An Lin's lips twitched as he heaved a forlorn sigh. "That groundhog is a soul beast at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. It would be a miracle if you could defeat it."
Dabai's mouth gaped open in shock.
"That groundhog isn't a beast pet of the Alliance of Cultivation. You have to broaden your horizons, but don't go overboard. Go on, Dabai, and continue your journey of conquest! "An Lin tossed a regenerative spirit pill to Dabai as he continued to offer words of encouragement.
Dabai's body shuddered, and he hugged An Lin tightly as he shook his head vigorously. "No, Big Brother An, I feel like I'll be fine as long as I stay by your side. A harmonious society is the most important thing! Woof! "
Dabai was as scared as a dog at this moment.
He really was scared. He had only just stepped out of the house, and he was already beaten to a pulp by a groundhog. Who knew what would happen if he continued to wander around?
An Lin had no choice but to let Dabai do as he pleased.
However, not long after that, a knock sounded on the door.
He walked over to open the door, only to discover that Dongfang Zhuangshi had come to visit with the Peerless Saber Demon and Gluttony.
Dabai's legs gave out from under him again upon seeing this visitor. He almost thought that this was a pervert who had come to beat him up again.
He was then greeted by the sight of An Lin making his way over to the middle-aged man …
The conversation was very pleasant.
After learning the truth, the groundhog came over to apologize to Dabai, and this made Dabai feel extremely flattered.
"So you guys know each other? You should have said so earlier! Woof! "Dabai came back to its senses and spoke with a wronged expression. It felt like it had been beaten up for nothing.
"No discord, no concord." A smile appeared on the groundhog's face. "My dao title is the Peerless Saber Demon, so let's call each other brothers from now on. You can call me Big Brother Saber, and I'll call you Little Brother Bai, how about that?"
Dabai shuddered. He was the one who wanted to be the big brother first …
An Lin and Dongfang Zhuangshi chatted as they sipped tea.
As the conversation went on, the middle-aged man finally talked about something important.
"Now that I've returned to this world, I've abandoned my identity as the Demonic Blood Kirin and am going to live on as a human as Dongfang Zhuangshi. Now, the plan to reconstruct my body is about to begin!" the middle-aged man announced.
"Oh? Is there anything I can help you with? " An Lin was feeling a little guilty about the Kirin Blood Jade incident. After all, the Kirin Blood Jade was the most perfect body for the middle-aged man. However, it had been swallowed by An Lin, which resulted in the middle-aged man clinging to An Lin all the time. He felt really terrible!
Alright, An Lin had to admit that this wasn't an issue of guilt. He just didn't want a weird middle-aged man clinging to him all the time.
He and Xu Xiaolan had risked their lives to save Dongfang Zhuangshi from that accursed place, so they had repaid the favor. They had helped the middle-aged man break out of prison right under Pangu's nose!
Wait …
A thought suddenly occurred to An Lin, and his eyes widened as he drew a sharp intake of breath.
He had saved the criminal that Pangu was going to punish. Didn't that mean that he and Pangu were enemies now? A chill ran down his spine at the thought of this.
"Mr. An Lin, what's wrong?" Dongfang Zhuangshi noticed that An Lin's expression was a little off.
"No, it's nothing." An Lin forced a smile onto his face, but he felt a chill run down his spine.
He felt like he was about to die …
"Go on." An Lin smiled.
Dongfang Zhuangshi nodded. "A body that's too weak can't bear my powerful and perfect consciousness, so I have to forge a perfect mythological beast body myself!"
An Lin's lips twitched upon hearing this. Could they not be so exaggerated?
Dongfang Zhuangshi continued, "First of all, in order to ensure the divinity and spirituality of this body, I need to obtain the Heart of the Divine God and the Divine God's Elixir!"
"Gasp …" An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath.
"What is it?" Dongfang Zhuangshi was confused.
"Nothing, go on."
An Lin paused for a moment before taking another sip of tea to calm himself down.
The Heart of the Divine God was an inherited divine-rank consciousness body, while the Divine God's Elixir was an inherited divine-rank energy body. He recalled that when he progressed to the Soul Formation Stage, one of the mission requirements was to absorb the Heart of the Divine God and the Divine God's Elixir.
Dongfang Zhuangshi continued, "The second requirement is also more difficult. I need to consume a Divine Paragon Fruit and use the divine fruit to forge a mythological beast body!"
"Pfff …" An Lin spat out a mouthful of tea.
The middle-aged man was dumbstruck. "What are you doing? Why are you so flustered? "
An Lin's lips twitched. "Uncle, are you sure this is the material to forge a mythological beast body?"
"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Dongfang Zhuangshi was a little angry.
"Why would I need the exact same material to progress to the Soul Formation Stage as you do?" An Lin couldn't help but ask.
Dongfang Zhuangshi: "…"
"You shouldn't need that material to progress to the Soul Formation Stage!" Dongfang Zhuangshi spoke with a serious expression.
"But I really did. I have no reason to lie to you," An Lin replied with a serious expression.
"I can testify to that, woof!" Dabai raised his paw.
Dongfang Zhuangshi fell silent. Was there something wrong?
Why did he feel like his grand plan to forge a mythological beast body had suddenly become so lame?
"That's not it! I need a few more pieces of mythological beast bones! "
Dongfang Zhuangshi seemed to have found something that could save him some face, and he spoke with an excited expression, "Let me tell you, the Divine Paragon Fruit can forge a body, but the bones of mythological beasts are the most difficult to obtain.
"In this current world, the bones of mythological beasts that have not been processed are far too rare. You need to be extremely lucky to find them …"
Boom!
Dongfang Zhuangshi didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence before a series of white bones appeared before him, all of which exuded extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.
"These are the mythological beast bones you want. If they're not enough, I have more in my storage ring," An Lin said with a lavish expression.
Dongfang Zhuangshi: "…"
This was a little too much, and he needed some time to recover.
"Thank you!" Dongfang Zhuangshi stowed the mythological beast bones away without any hesitation.
"I feel like the aura of these bones is a little familiar," he said.
"Do you know about the bones of the Mutant Blood Phoenix?" An Lin asked.
Dongfang Zhuangshi faltered slightly upon hearing this before a complex expression appeared on his face. "Hehe … Fate sure is mysterious …"
He didn't continue on this topic. Instead, he began a discussion about the Heart of the Divine God and the Divine God's Elixir.
"I might have to search for the tombs of mighty figures all over the world. Only those tombs can give birth to the Heart of the Divine God and the Divine God's Elixir.
I've calculated the energy within my body, and if I leave your side and don't fight, I can last about a year.
If a battle erupts, then it's hard to say. An intense battle could exhaust all of the energy within my body … "
An Lin nodded. "You don't have anything like a portable power source?"
"Huh?" Dongfang Zhuangshi faltered upon hearing this.
"Oh, it's like a backup energy ball. The kind that you can use to replenish energy when you run out," An Lin explained.
Dongfang Zhuangshi shook his head. "I can't. I can only obtain energy by getting close to you. You're like the sun, and I'm like a blade of grass. If I don't see you for too long, then I'll die."
Xiao Hong suddenly chimed in in her sweet voice, "That's the most touching confession I've ever heard."
An Lin: "…"
Dongfang Zhuangshi: "…"
"Can't you just photosynthesize? Why do you have to butt in? "An Lin was enraged.
"I think Xiao Hong has a point." Dabai raised a paw in agreement.
Slap!
Dabai was slapped to the ground by An Lin.
"That's fine, you can come back whenever you want to replenish your energy. I'm usually at the university." An Lin massaged his brows.
Dongfang Zhuangshi nodded with a smile.
"One last thing. I need to find a place to settle the Vast Land of Blood. This floating continent also needs to absorb the power of stars to maintain its operation. I've already received permission from the Celestial Thearch to settle near Xiuxian United University. Do you have any recommendations? "
An Lin pondered for a moment before his eyes abruptly lit up.
