Chapter 111: Yin Zhong

When discussing Canglan Mountain, Lin Xueer was extremely excited.

After hearing Li Yan's recent explanation of the specific situation at Canglan Mountain, stars appeared in Lin Xueer's eyes.

"Canglan Mountain is a kingdom of Spirit Beasts, so it must be full of Spirit Beasts with Golden-grade bloodlines or higher, right?!"

Lin Xueer asked with an excited look on her face, seemingly unable to wait any longer.

Among the group, Lin Xueer had originally been the weakest of the four in terms of both talent and Spirit Beast.

It was only because of her relationship with Luo Shuiyan that she had been able to join the Rose Maiden Team.

Otherwise, based on her strength and aptitude, it would have been impossible for her to be in the same team as Yi Zimeng and Luo Shuiyan.

Now, because of Luo Shuiyan, the Ancient Inheritance from that Secret Realm had been given to her.

With the Star Meteor Sect inheritance, Lin Xueer had somewhat made up for her lack of aptitude and was gradually catching up to the others.

However, in terms of her Spirit Beast, Lin Xueer remained the team's weak link.

Among the four Spirit Beasts, her Yindiao had the worst bloodline grade.

It only had a Silver-grade bloodline, and its future growth potential could be said to be very worrying...

Likewise, the speed at which her Spirit Beast cultivated and the combat power it could unleash were a far cry from other Spirit Beasts of the same rank.

For the current Lin Xueer, she was in urgent need of contracting a Spirit Beast with a powerful bloodline to improve her strength.

"That's Canglan Mountain we're talking about! It's not just Golden-grade; even Master-grade Spirit Beasts are a dime a dozen there!"

This time, even the discerning Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"That's right, it's said that the Great Jin Imperial Family has a Legendary-Level Spirit Beast that was obtained right there in Canglan Mountain!"

Yi Zimeng couldn't help but interject at this moment; as someone from an Imperial Capital noble family, she knew more about the Imperial Family than the others. Hearing the four of them talking, the two little ones, Little Tiger and Cailin, were still crazily stuffing their faces.

Faced with the others chatting about the Spirit Beasts of Canglan Mountain, they didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation and remained very calm.

After all, neither of their talents was poor, and they could be considered top-tier among Spirit Beasts, with a high possibility of advancing to Legendary-Level Spirit Beasts in the future.

Even if Hu Xiaoxiao and the others contracted new Spirit Beasts, they would only end up being second-best.

Jiang Che went without saying; he was somewhat impatient to meet his new little brother.

However, the Yindiao with the worst bloodline felt extremely dejected.

Looking at the tempting chicken leg in front of her, she had no appetite at all.

Yindiao knew that her bloodline talent was low.

As the strength of Lin Xueer and the others advanced by leaps and bounds, it was already becoming difficult for Yindiao to keep up with everyone's pace.

Even though she knew this herself, she worked hard and cultivated bitterly.

Yet, the gap in bloodline talent still made her the weakest existence in the team.

In this world, the status between a Beast Tamer and a Spirit Beast is unequal.

To a Beast Tamer, a Spirit Beast is nothing more than a tool that can be discarded after use.

Most Beast Tamers, if they contract a more powerful Spirit Beast, will abandon their original Spirit Beast to save on cultivation resources.

In Yindiao's view, her leaving the group was perhaps only a matter of time.

As a Beast Tamer, Lin Xueer keenly sensed Yindiao's dejection.

She understood immediately and hurriedly stroked Yindiao gently.

"Ayin, don't worry, I will never abandon you."

"Since I signed a contract with you at the entrance of the Beast Tamer Academy back then, even if I find a new Spirit Beast in the future, I will absolutely not give you up."

Hearing these words from Lin Xueer, Yindiao was immediately very moved.

She nestled gently in Lin Xueer's arms, feeling her master's warmth.

Li Yan, the Dean of Tianque Academy nearby, naturally heard Lin Xueer's words as well.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sigh softly.

"Lin Xueer, with your current strength, it is likely very difficult to contract two Spirit Beasts at the same time..."

"Under normal circumstances, only those who have reached the strength of an Emperor-level Beast Tamer can contract two Spirit Beasts..."

Li Yan's expression was also somewhat troubled.

As a Dean of the academy, he had seen many cases like Lin Xueer's.

There are those who treat Spirit Beasts as tools, and likewise, there are those who treat Spirit Beasts as partners who can share life and death.

Wanting to just discard them isn't something that can be done just by saying it.

But with Lin Xueer only having King-level strength, it was also impossible for her to contract two Spirit Beasts...

Hearing Li Yan's words, both Lin Xueer and Yindiao were stunned.

Lin Xueer actually knew these things, but she was reluctant to part with Yindiao, so she hadn't thought of them for a moment.

"Dean, actually, that might not necessarily be the case..."

Luo Shuiyan, who was sitting to the side, raised her eyebrows slightly before speaking.

This allowed Lin Xueer and Yindiao, who had almost fallen into sorrow, to reignite their hope. "That's right, that's right! Didn't that Yin Chang from the Yin Family contract a second Spirit Beast when he was at the King-level Peak? And it was even a Sixth Rank Spirit Beast!"

Hu Xiaoxiao also chimed in at this moment to supplement Luo Shuiyan's words.

"In my opinion, Xue'er's talent is much stronger than that old man from the Yin Family!"

Seeing them like this, Li Yan could only smile helplessly.

"Alright, alright, seeing that you all have such confidence, I won't say any more discouraging words to dampen your spirits."

"Here, I wish you all success in advance."

Li Yan knew that the four of them were all sentimental Beast Tamers; it was impossible to make these four young girls easily abandon their Spirit Beasts.

It was just that as the Dean of the academy, he had to remind them.

"Don't worry, Dean, we will definitely succeed; we will never abandon our Spirit Beasts!"

Luo Shuiyan nodded and said with full confidence.

At the same time, she gave Lin Xueer and Yindiao a reassuring look.

……

Late at night, Imperial Capital Yin Family.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Yin Family, the father and daughter of the Yin Family were filled with grief.

Their faces were completely devoid of their usual smug expressions.

Exhaling a breath of Turbid Qi, Yin Zhong's expression turned cold, and he then looked at Yin Xiyue with a solemn face.

"Xiyue, the future of the Yin Family will depend on you..."

At this moment, Yin Zhong was incredibly glad that he had only given one of the Yin Family's spots for the Space-Time Secret Realm to Yin Chang.

Otherwise, he feared that both of his children would have perished in the Secret Realm.

In that case, his lineage would have been cut off.

The position of Head of the Family that he had worked so hard to seize would likely not remain stable for long.

"Father, don't worry!"

"However, my brother's revenge..."

Yin Xiyue said with a sorrowful face.

"For Kou'er's life, I must make that little bitch Yi Zimeng pay in blood!"

"Daring to kill my son, I want her to die without a burial place!"

"But Father, the royal family seems to be favoring them a bit this time; do you have any plans?"

Upon hearing this, a cold, chilling glint flashed in Yin Zhong's eyes.

It was just like a venomous snake waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Tomorrow they are setting off for Canglan Mountain, which is the territory of the Spirit Race!"

"Human Race Saint-level powerhouses will not appear there unless there are special circumstances."

"Otherwise, it will provoke the dissatisfaction of the Spirit Beast overlords in Canglan Mountain..."

Yin Xiyue understood immediately upon hearing this, "Father, I understand. You want to make a move on them over at Canglan Mountain?"

"That's right. Tonight, I will secretly arrange for manpower to arrive at Canglan Mountain in advance and wait for them to come to us!"

The killing intent in Yin Zhong's eyes was almost ready to solidify.

He seemed to see the scene of Luo Shuiyan and the others already dead.

"But Father, the Dean of Tianque Academy, Li Yan, is also not weak. Should we be more cautious this time and ask the Old Ancestor to come out of seclusion?"

"Absolutely not!"

Hearing Yin Xiyue's words, Yin Zhong was startled and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

"The Old Ancestor is already dissatisfied with us seizing power; if he finds out that little bitch Yi Zimeng is still alive,"

"And that her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, he might bring that little bitch back and cultivate her as the successor of the Yin Family..."

"There is no need to worry about Li Yan; I have my own ways to deal with him."

Over these years in the Imperial Capital, Yin Zhong still had quite a few friends.

Helping him hold back Li Yan was not a major problem.

Early the next morning, after the four of them—Luo Shuiyan and the others—got up, they followed Li Yan to the Imperial Capital's station.

This time, they were taking a special vehicle to Canglan Mountain.

However, unlike before, this time the Crown Prince personally brought a group of royal powerhouses to the station to see them off, in order to show the importance placed on the geniuses of Da Jin.

"Everyone, on this trip to Canglan Mountain, I wish you all success in contracting Spirit Beasts with powerful bloodline talents."

"I hope that in the future, you will all become powerful Beast Tamers and contribute to the prosperity of our Human Race..."

After finishing a series of polite formalities, Sima Qingtian instructed his subordinates to begin arranging for everyone to board the vehicle.
