Chapter 411: Bai Shen Wants to Ask Lin Meng to Buy a Beast Egg

~7 min read 1,382 words

Old He left in a hurry, and he didn't even force his own grandson to reveal the private deal between Lin Meng and Old Li.

He Fei thought of that Jade Marrow Pill, and secretly vowed in his heart to do more for Lin Meng, and later ask her for one pill for his grandfather to take.

He couldn't produce twenty million, and he didn't know if, after selling his labor to work for Lin Meng, the other party might be willing to give him one.

——

After Lin Meng entered the Strange World, she found herself outside the city; it seemed Ye Xiu had gone out for training.

She quickly noticed the anomaly, immediately summoned her flying sword and rose into the high sky, flying toward the direction she sensed the anomaly.

As soon as she appeared here, she sensed two powerful energy fluctuations; one was very familiar—it was Bai Shen's, suggesting Ye Xiu had come out with him.

Moreover, there was another energy fluctuation that was special yet extraordinarily strong—could they have encountered a high-level Strange here?

However, with Bai Shen present, Ye Xiu's safety need not be worried.

Soon, Lin Meng realized the source of that unfamiliar aura—a pitch-black dragon beast!

Lin Meng immediately knew that this dragon must have hatched from a Spirit Beast Egg!

I never expected that on this trip I would actually get to see the true form of a Spirit Beast.

Lin Meng hovered in midair and couldn't help pulling out her phone.

Although the phone had no signal here, its photo and video functions occasionally worked.

Such a majestic black dragon—it would truly be a shame not to record it!

Watching the overbearing black dragon weave through the clouds, with lightning flashing from time to time, the scene was quite impactful.

Lin Meng recorded while exclaiming in amazement.

Good grief, is this the Spirit Beast of the cultivation world? It's totally cheating—even in this Strange World, it seems like a supernatural being.

If one could bring such a creature back to the modern world, wouldn't that mean ruling supreme?

Lin Meng now thought of the large white egg lying in the training room, and she felt a pang of regret.

Look, Ye Xiu's black egg was the one I gave him, yet he managed to hatch a Spirit Beast first, while my white egg is still frantically absorbing spiritual energy, showing no sign of cracking.

According to Ye Fan, different Spirit Beasts necessarily have different hatching times, especially those that are naturally viviparous but take the form of a Spirit Beast Egg—their incubation period will only be longer.

Lin Meng no longer hopes for her white egg to hatch quickly; she just wishes it won't be inferior to that black dragon.

Lin Meng's presence was soon noticed by Bai Shen.

When he flew over and saw Lin Meng also standing in midair high above, he was greatly startled.

He is a Supernatural Realm cultivator; since the resurgence of Strange Qi, few have reached this level, and in the Dragon Kingdom he is currently the only such super‑strong cultivator, an achievement attained only after a hundred years of training.

But Lin Meng is only in her twenties, and even he cannot see what stage of cultivation she has reached.

However, Bai Shen's gaze was soon drawn to the flying sword beneath Lin Meng's feet.

It seems likely that Lin Meng's ability to stand in the air is related to that flying sword.

What he knows now is that Lin Meng herself holds an AT0068; although Ye Xiu didn't say so, he can sense that Ye Xiu also possesses a supernatural artifact, presumably superior to the already‑registered 0068.

At this moment, a third supernatural artifact appeared on Lin Meng's person—clearly an attack‑type weapon that can also carry a person in flight.

Such a supernatural artifact is unique throughout the entire Strange World.

Upon seeing Bai Shen, Lin Meng flew over on her sword.

"Bai Shen, are you accompanying Ye Xiu on his training?"

Lin Meng's voice called Bai Shen back to his thoughts; he reluctantly shifted his gaze from the flying sword and replied:

"Yes, I've been idle lately and thought I'd take him out for some training. This is your pendant—it's already collected too many souls and can't hold any more, so it's perfect that you've come."

Bai Shen returned the Nine‑Eyed Heavenly Pearl to Lin Meng, then turned his gaze to the black dragon still soaring in the high sky—his eyes held a depth never seen before.

"Miss Lin, this demonic beast egg of Ye Xiu's—was it given by you?"

Lin Meng did not deny it; even if Ye Xiu didn't say so, Bai Shen should be able to guess.

Bai Shen's eyes flickered, and the shock in his heart nearly overflowed.

"Where exactly does this Little Friend Lin come from? He not only possesses a one‑of‑a‑kind powerful supernatural artifact, but he can even obtain a demonic beast egg that has not appeared in a hundred years."

In the Dragon Kingdom, although those who have awakened as summoners among the supernatural are few, altogether they number over a thousand.

This should have been a very formidable profession, but because there are no beasts to summon in the world, it has become the most useless occupation.

If Lin Meng could bring more demonic beast eggs to the Dragon Kingdom, the nation's combat power would rise by several levels.

Those high‑level Strange that have always threatened people's safety might then be dealt with.

Even the ruined cities occupied by the Strange could muster more force to retake them and expand humanity's safe zones.

Thinking of this, Bai Shen could hardly restrain himself.

"Miss Lin, I don't know where you obtained this demonic beast egg—could you provide some more?"

"Of course, I won't take it for nothing—you may make any demands."

Lin Meng had already guessed that Bai Shen would ask about the Spirit Beast Egg; she wasn't sure whether all Spirit Beasts from the cultivation world could be tamed and contracted here, especially since Ye Xiu hides many secrets and cannot be judged by ordinary summoner standards.

Lin Meng thought for a moment and said:

"It's not that I don't want to help; it's just that you've seen Ye Xiu's situation—he's special, and what he can do, other summoners might not be able to."

"Moreover, the beast egg I gave him is also quite special; I might not be able to obtain another of the same quality."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shen's eyes flashed with a hint of loss.

"Yes, this child Ye Xiu indeed has a very special constitution; I've learned that he can contract even ordinary animals, which sets him fundamentally apart from other summoners."

And the beast egg that Lin Meng gave Ye Xiu actually hatched into a dragon‑shaped demonic beast; dragon beasts already stand at the top of the demonic beast chain, so wanting another of that quality is truly impossible.

Just then, Lin Meng thought for a moment and said:

"Or, let me try this first: after a while I'll bring two beast eggs over, you find two summoners with good potential and wait; then we'll see."

"If it works, we can then discuss how to proceed with cooperation."

Lin Meng reflected, and realized that this Strange World was not without benefit for her.

Collecting the souls grandfather needs is one aspect; on the other hand, some technological levels in this world are quite high—for example, in city construction, the materials used seem to be far superior to the reinforced concrete of the modern world.

According to Ye Xiu, the defensive scale of the first-tier city here is extremely high; even a casually built wall uses top-grade black gold diamond with the highest defensive power, and it is said to be able to withstand a missile barrage.

Leaving other things aside, if we could bring some of this black gold diamond back, we could not only turn it over to the state, but also ask Ye Heng's side whether they need it.

The spirit beast eggs don't need to be of high quality; just have Ye Fan go ask the sect and buy some ordinary spirit beast eggs.

In the cultivation world, spirit beasts' combat prowess is never too weak.
