Chapter 261

Since he couldn't test the Purple Crystal Scorpion's invisibility himself, he would find someone else to test it! He put the ten second-stage Purple Crystal Scorpions into his spirit beast bracelet.

He flew his sword directly to the Main Peak, returning to his own courtyard first, wanting to find his father to help him test it. Unexpectedly, he searched around and couldn't find anyone.

He was so happy about the Purple Crystal Scorpions advancing in rank that he forgot the family was currently in a state of relaxed outside but tight inside; his father must have gone to stand guard at the Mountain-Protecting Great Array.

It was inconvenient for Lin Zhangqing to go to the Mountain-Protecting Great Array now, so he went directly to find his grandfather. Fortunately, he didn't make a wasted trip this time; his grandfather happened to be at home.

Just as he entered the door, Lin Zhangqing released those ten little fellows, and they circled around his body.

Seeing Lin Zhangqing come over, his grandfather was also very happy and asked with a chuckle, "Little Qing, didn't you go to Aoyun Peak to tend to the spirit fields today? How do you have so much free time to see your grandfather?"

Lin Zhangqing stepped forward and said cheekily, "Grandson already went this morning, and today's catalysis tasks for the spirit fields are finished.

Now I've encountered a great piece of good news, so I came to share the joy with Grandfather! But as for this good news! I won't say it yet; let's see if Grandfather can discover it for yourself!"

After speaking, he stood up and spun around in place in front of his grandfather.

Then he continued, "Grandfather, take a look at where I am; is there anything different? Look carefully, if you can't see it, you can use your divine sense!"

Hearing his grandson's words, his grandfather scrutinized Lin Zhangqing from head to toe, but he didn't see anything different from before.

Afterward, just as Lin Zhangqing said, he used his divine sense to scan him carefully several times, but still didn't find anything different.

Then his grandfather shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything different. Speak! What exactly are you hiding up your sleeve?"

As soon as Lin Zhangqing heard his grandfather say he hadn't found it, he was immediately overjoyed. He let out an excited cheer and clenched his fist hard, only to be glared at by his grandfather.

However, Lin Zhangqing couldn't care about that now; he was just happy!

If the previous Purple Crystal Scorpions got close to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there was still a high possibility of being discovered, but now he had specifically given his grandfather a hint.

His grandfather still hadn't found the Purple Crystal Scorpions around him, and one must know that his grandfather was currently at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, he had consumed an Earth Soul Fruit, so his divine sense strength could definitely rival that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment existence.

With such a powerful divine sense, he still hadn't found his little treasures; how could he not be excited, how could he not be happy! After trying to calm his emotions, he said, "Grandfather, there are ten little fellows around me now.

Search carefully and see if you can find them, or even find a trace of them!"

Hearing his grandson say this, combined with his excited appearance just now, Lin Fandao already had some guesses in his heart, but he still couldn't quite believe it.

Searching bit by bit with his divine sense again, and with Lin Zhangqing's hints, he finally found some traces.

The ten second-stage Purple Crystal Scorpions were all landing on the ground, and they had a certain weight themselves, so their six legs had left six small, regular pits on the ground.

It was through these ten sets of regular small pits that Lin Fandao found all ten Purple Crystal Scorpions. Although he still couldn't see them, he cast ten mana marks that landed on the bodies of the ten Purple Crystal Scorpions.

This time it was Lin Zhangqing's turn to be dumbfounded. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted and asked hurriedly, "Grandfather, how did you find them?"

Seeing Lin Zhangqing's dumbfounded look, Lin Fandao was in a great mood and explained to him with a chuckle, "Don't worry! I only found them because of your reminder.

If no one had reminded me, I believe an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't have been able to discover them! This time it was also because they were standing in the courtyard where the ground is soil, and their own weight left a set of very shallow and regular small pits on the ground, which is how I found them.

Just be careful to avoid this issue yourself in the future! It's not a big problem.

Now let them appear and let me see those spirit scorpions that have advanced to the second stage; what is different about them compared to before!"

Hearing his grandfather's explanation, Lin Zhangqing suddenly realized and his heart was set at ease; otherwise, if ten second-stage Purple Crystal Scorpions were all found, that would be a disaster.

With a thought, the ten little fellows ended their invisibility. Their beautiful, streamlined forms, looking as if they were carved from purple crystal, made his grandfather gasp in admiration once again.

After watching for a while, his grandfather asked, "I see they have all grown wings, so they should be able to fly now! After advancing to the second stage, besides invisibility and flight, have they awakened any other talent spells?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded proudly and said, "Yes, they have also awakened a kind of purple light ray, which seems to be a long-range attack belonging to the soul system mixed with the light system.

I just tried it out in a spot on Aoyun Peak; at a distance of about thirty zhang, it can shoot through two-foot-thick stones.

At a distance of about one hundred zhang, shooting through one-foot-thick stones is no problem! I haven't tried anything further, but this is the physical damage of the purple light rays.

As for the soul damage of the purple light rays, there is no way to test it yet, because first-stage demon beasts probably can't be measured; it might require second-stage demon beasts to potentially show the test results better!"

After listening, his grandfather was so excited he couldn't control himself. Suddenly remembering something, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't there one hundred and twenty-four in total? Why do I only see ten? Did the others fail to advance?"

"No, these are the ones. When I heard from my great-grandmother that something had happened to the family, I was distressed that the power in my hands was too weak! So I concentrated resources and selected the ten strongest Purple Crystal Scorpions, letting them advance first. The remaining one hundred or so are still at the late first-stage cultivation level.

However, in the short term, I won't let them advance. These ten little fellows advancing now is actually a case of 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow'! I don't know if it will have any adverse effects on their continued advancement in the future!" Lin Zhangqing said with some worry.

Hearing what Lin Zhangqing said, his grandfather felt a bit more at ease. It was good that the rest were still there; they would definitely continue to advance in the future, and having these ten little fellows now should be enough.

So he said to Lin Zhangqing, "This time it is truly Heaven helping my Lin family. You put these little fellows away first, and then we will go see the Clan Leader together!"

Hearing his grandfather say they were going to see the Clan Leader, Lin Zhangqing was a bit surprised, but he didn't ask much. He summoned the little fellows back and put them into the spirit beast bracelet.

Afterward, the grandfather and grandson flew toward the place where the Clan Leader often went into seclusion, and soon they arrived at the place Lin Zhangqing had visited last time.

The restriction on the door automatically split open, and the Clan Leader's voice also came out, "Eleven, why have you both come, grandfather and grandson? Has something happened?"

His grandfather led Lin Zhangqing through the opening, looking radiant and full of smiles, and greeted him with a chuckle, "Greetings, Clan Leader. Of course, there is good news this time, and it's huge good news!"

The Clan Leader chuckled, "Then why don't you say it and let me be happy too? Why are you keeping me in suspense?"

His grandfather laughed twice and continued, "Don't worry, Clan Leader, you will see it immediately!"

Then he proudly said to Lin Zhangqing, "Qing'er! Do for the Clan Leader what you just did at my place!"

"Greetings, Clan Leader!" Lin Zhangqing greeted him!

Then, hearing what his grandfather said, he was a bit surprised and couldn't help but let out an "Ah!" His grandfather continued, "It's fine, don't worry! The Clan Leader won't mind. Anyway, you have to demonstrate it once; the form doesn't matter!"

Lin Zhangqing thought it made sense. Then, with a thought, the ten invisible second-stage Purple Crystal Scorpions came out silently from the spirit beast bracelet and distributed themselves around his body. Then Lin Zhangqing said to his grandfather, "It's done!"
