83: Gengjin Sword Grass

(Three thousand words were added to the previous chapter)

Zhang Daobai naturally knew about the effects Lin Luoxue was feeling.

After all, this roast chicken was a Rank Three Seven-Colored Pheasant, and many Spirit Medicines had been added as spices during roasting, making it a different kind of Alchemy.

It was delicious and beneficial to her cultivation, causing Lin Luoxue's eyes to light up instantly. Compared to Zhang Daobai's previous gluttonous devouring, Lin Luoxue's eating manner was much more elegant.

After condensing a wisp of Sword Intent at her fingertips, she sliced all the meat off the roast chicken in a few quick motions, leaving behind only a clean skeleton.

Only then did Lin Luoxue unhurriedly enjoy this delicacy.

After a while, Youying suddenly appeared in Zhang Daobai's arms. Just as it was about to report the situation in the Secret Realm to him, it was instantly attracted by the roast chicken meat on the side.

Without the slightest hesitation, Youying made a decision based entirely on instinct, decisively abandoning Zhang Daobai and teleporting in front of Lin Luoxue.

Lin Luoxue, who was enjoying her meal, was startled by Youying's sudden appearance without any warning. Just as she was about to condense her Sword Intent, she was interrupted by Zhang Daobai's voice.

"Don't be excited, it's a Spirit Tamer I just contracted. Its name is Youying," Zhang Daobai hurriedly explained upon seeing this.

Hearing Zhang Daobai's words, Lin Luoxue then dissipated the Sword Intent at her fingertips and looked down at Youying.

At this moment, Youying's attention was completely captured by the roast meat in front of Lin Luoxue. It wanted to eat but was too concerned with its Face to speak up.

"Here."

Seeing this, Lin Luoxue smiled and took the initiative to share half of the roast meat in front of her with Youying.

Firstly, it was because Youying, like her, was Zhang Daobai's Spirit Tamer, and secondly, because Youying's appearance was indeed quite cute.

Looking at the roast meat before it, Youying glanced at Lin Luoxue in disbelief. It hadn't expected Lin Luoxue to give up such a delicacy so easily.

If it were itself, let alone giving it up, it wouldn't even want others to touch it.

"My name is Lin Luoxue, and I am also his Spirit Tamer. Consider this my meeting gift to you," Lin Luoxue introduced herself with a smile.

"You are a good person," Youying said after a momentary daze upon hearing her words.

"Are you a Rank Five Yao Beast?"

Hearing Youying speak, Lin Luoxue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Except for a few special Yao Beasts, general Yao Beasts must Cultivate to Rank Five to speak human tongue, and to Rank Six to transform into human form.

"I used to be."

After replying, Youying lowered its head and began to eat the roast meat.

It seemed to have a cold and aloof personality, but in reality, it was masking the embarrassment in its eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai thought for a moment and then informed Lin Luoxue of Youying's situation via voice transmission.

After learning about Youying's unlucky experience, Lin Luoxue couldn't help but look at Youying with a complex gaze.

After finishing the roast meat, Youying opened its mouth and spat out a golden Spirit Medicine.

The main body of this golden Spirit Medicine resembled a golden sword, and it had three leaves shaped like sword blades growing around it, emitting a sharp aura.

"geng metal sword grass!"

Upon seeing it, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue both spoke out in shock.

geng metal sword grass is a type of Spirit Medicine that Innately carries a wisp of Geng Metal Sword Intent. Consuming it can increase the chance of comprehending Sword Intent.

If one has already comprehended Sword Intent, it can also add a trace of Geng Metal Sword Intent's aura to their Sword Intent.

Three leaves meant that this geng metal sword grass was already three hundred years old, equivalent to a Rank Five Spirit Medicine.

However, geng metal sword grass needs to grow in an environment that possesses Geng Metal Sword Intent. Zhang Daobai couldn't help but be curious about where Youying had gotten it.

"This is my return gift to you."

Youying said as it used its tail to push the geng metal sword grass toward Lin Luoxue.

Hearing this, Lin Luoxue subconsciously looked toward Zhang Daobai, seeking his opinion.

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai nodded to her, signaling her to go ahead and accept it.

"Thank you."

After putting away the geng metal sword grass, Lin Luoxue thanked Youying.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Zhang Daobai came to Youying's side, squatted down, and asked while stroking its head.

The environment where geng metal sword grass grows definitely possesses Geng Metal Sword Intent. For Lin Luoxue, this was an excellent opportunity for comprehension.

"Right in the Secret Realm."

After teleporting onto Zhang Daobai's shoulder, Youying pointed to the small hill below.

Zhang Daobai looked at the hill below upon hearing this, then turned to Lin Luoxue and said, "You go into the spirit taming space for a while first."

With that, Zhang Daobai sent Lin Luoxue into the spirit taming space.

Then, Zhang Daobai ordered Youying, "Take me into the Secret Realm."

Hearing this, Youying immediately transformed into a black curtain, enveloping Zhang Daobai. It then vanished from the spot instantly and reappeared inside the mountain.

This spatial fissure was hidden inside a solid giant rock. If it weren't for Youying being extremely sensitive to Spatial Power, no one would likely have been able to discover this spatial fissure.

Enveloping Zhang Daobai, Youying charged directly into this spatial fissure. If others saw this scene, they would probably think they were seeking death.

Because a spatial fissure like this, less than a meter long, is extremely unstable.

A slight lapse in attention could trigger a spatial collapse, instantly tearing one to pieces with Spatial Power.

However, for a Void Shadow Demon born within the Void Realm, this was not a problem at all.

Never mind a spatial fissure of less than a meter; even if it were only a centimeter long, they could squeeze inside.

After passing through the spatial fissure, Youying brought Zhang Daobai to a barren mountain and released him.

"We're inside?"

Zhang Daobai only felt his vision brighten and looked around somewhat blankly.

"Mm."

Youying responded lazily as it lay on Zhang Daobai's shoulder.

Zhang Daobai looked around and found that this Secret Realm, like the previous Chiyang Secret Realm, did not have very dense vegetation and looked quite desolate.

The good news, however, was that the Spiritual Qi in this Secret Realm was quite high, and it should be able to nurture many Spirit Medicines.

Zhang Daobai then released Lin Luoxue and turned to ask Youying, "What's the situation in this Secret Realm?"

"This Secret Realm probably went through a great battle, so there aren't many Yao Beasts. The one with the highest strength is only a Late Stage Rank Three Earthfire Mad Lizard, right in that direction."

As Youying said this, it raised a paw and pointed toward the front-left to indicate.

"The place where I found that grass is in a canyon over there, but it's very dangerous for you guys," Youying said, pointing toward the right.

"Let's go check out that canyon first."

Seeing the yearning in Lin Luoxue's eyes, Zhang Daobai made the decision directly.

Youying was indifferent to this decision, as it didn't need those things anyway, while Lin Luoxue understood Zhang Daobai's intention and glanced at him with a grateful gaze.

Under Youying's lead, Zhang Daobai and Lin Luoxue soon arrived outside a long, narrow valley.
