--- Chapter 136 ---
Qing Lin controlled a wave of snake-type Magical Beast and commanded them to sweep over the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe. At first glance, it looks like the tribe got attacked by an outsider, but the truth is always confusing.
Who would have thought these Magical Beasts helped the tribe?
A wry smile appeared on Yao Ming and Yao Ling's faces. They observed the situation with a bitter feeling deep in their hearts, knowing their tribe was indebted to this young lady.
"The real things are very different from the record." Yao Ming commented while looking at Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. He has heard many things about these terrifying innate talents, but seeing them himself is a different experience.
Fortunately, such a powerful ability won't affect someone with a firm mind and a strong bloodline like himself. The same goes for the Tribe's Elder Yao Ling and Saintess Cai Lin.
'At best, she could stun me for a few seconds. But it is still deadly in any situation.' Yao Ming sighed in wryness. Yes, He was thankful that the possessor of Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils wasn't an enemy.
They only have to wait an hour for Qing Lin to gather all the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe members in a deadlock before controlling them with her pupils' power.
Of course, Qing Lin didn't mark these people with her power and broke the mind-controlling Dou Technique cast by Yao Xiaotion.
"Done." She said, giving Baek Ain a hopeful look.
Baek Ain patted Qing Lin's head and replied, "Good job."
"Have a rest. Controlling these snake-type Magical Beasts must consume your mental energy a lot, after all."
Qing Lin nodded and landed on a winged serpent nearby, recovering her mental energy by meditating.
Yao Ling was about to send his gratitude for helping the tribe, but seeing Qing Lin's condition, he laughed helplessly and told Baek Ain to stay like it was their home.
He quickly left to fix the tribe's problem, leaving Yao Ling by their side.
Cai Lin and others approached, staring at Qing Lin in a new light. This girl becomes so monstrous in less than a year.
"Follow me. I'll escort all of you to the Nine Serene Palace." Yao Ling led them to a magnificent-looking palace. It's entirely made of white brick but turned yellowish because of the reflection of the Nine Serene Spring nearby.
[Ding! Do you want to Sign In to the Nine Serene Palace?] Alicia's voice suddenly echoed in Baek Ain's head.
Baek Ain was surprised but didn't sign in immediately. His attention was "solely." focused on the Nine Serene Spring, where he could obtain richer rewards.
Not to mention he could sign in more tomorrow.
"No rush." Baek Ain swiped away the system panel.
Cai Lin glanced and asked, "Did you say something?"
"No." Baek Ain smiled innocently. "It must have been your feelings."
"This palace is the right place to increase your cultivation's speed."
"Hmm, that's true, I suppose." Cai Lin nodded after thinking about it for a while. She wasted all her time to reach this tribe, and it was worth it.
With the help of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Tribe, Cai Lin can become a Half-Saint Expert in a week or two. Her foundation is solid due to the long-evolution process of becoming the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and the variant of Behemoth's Bloodline.
Time passes quickly as Yao Ling introduces many things about the tribe to them. Others attentively listened to her while Baek Ain casually used his Parallel Thinking and scanned the surrounding area.
Yao Ling's voice slowly becomes the background noise.
Baek Ain's Mental Energy swept over countless mountains before returning to the Nine Serene Spring.
The lake was huge. The water in it was deep-yellow. There seemed to be traces of a fresh-blood-like luster flowing in this deep-yellow color. Wisps of pale-yellow vapor mixed with the faint blood and seeped out of it. The smoke rose and whizzed to the sky.
Baek Ain couldn't help but sigh because the wonder of the Cultivation World was like flowers full of thorns. This yellow lake appeared beautiful, but anyone with a weak constitution will melt rapidly.
The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python shouldn't have trouble swimming in the Nine Serene Spring as their bodies and genes were "literally." used to it.
A bright yet dangerous idea flashed in Baek Ain's head.
He doesn't know if this idea would work, but it's worth trying.
'What do you think, Alicia?'
[I think it's plausible, Host] Alicia responded softly.
[With Fan Gu's research on genes, you should be able to adhere to this plan on the right path. It is dangerous, but what kind of cultivators don't have hardship?]
[However, you might have to create some pills to promote the gene's growth and evolution first. Attaining Sage Physique isn't an easy task]
Baek Ain laughed inside and commented, 'Well, create a new file then.'
Two hours later.
"Ain?"
"Ain?! Are you listening?" Yi Xian shook her lover's body back and forth, but he remained still on the cushion. She even pinched his cheeks, only to discover his eyes stared at the thin air.
The poisonous lady sighed because this happens more often now. In the past, Baek Ain wouldn't be this crazy in his research.
Then, again. Yi Xian knew very well he was doing this for them.
Baek Ain never does pointless things. Well, maybe sometimes when he lazed around.
"Hmm? What are you doing?" Baek Ain returned to normal. His work mode has turned off.
Yi Xian pursed her lips and said, "I've been calling you for ages. Elder Yao Ling told us to familiarize ourselves with the surrounding because the Nine Serene Place possesses potent yet pure Dou Qi energy."
"Even if you were a Half-Saint, you had to adapt to the surroundings first."
"What if I'm a Saint?" Baek Ain tilted his head, smiling in amusement.
Yi Xian snorted, "I know your smart ass is going to ask that, so I raised my hand like a good student at Elder Yao Ling earlier."
"The Nine Serene Spring wouldn't affect Dou Saint much. The Dou Saints have transformed their bodies to accommodate the natural Dou Qi of the surrounding and Spatial Strength."
Baek Ain smiled as he knew the answer already. He just wanted to tease Yi Xian.
Who would expect Yi Xian to be this thoughtful? If the situation wasn't so packed, Baek Ain would have married her and others already.
Thinking about marrying Yi Xian, Baek Ain couldn't help but wonder about his promise to Qing Lin. The naive young girl has become a refined young lady.
She's a fully grown adult by this world's standard.
Baek Ain shook his head and mumbled, "I'll just follow the natural flow."
"Where are the others?" He asked Yi Xian.
"Them?" Yi Xian chuckled helplessly. "They visited the house spa on the left wing area of the Nine Serene Palace."
"..." Baek Ain was speechless. They still have the time to visit the spa.
"Women."
"Hey, I'm one of them too, okay. Don't judge us! We need to take care of ourselves!" Yi Xian huffed at Baek Ain.
"Unless you wanted ugly wives, that is."
"That won't happen." Baek Ain chuckled confidently.
"And why so? Mister." Yi Xian narrowed her eyes.
Baek Ain kissed Yi Xian's cheeks and answered, "Because all of you are beautiful on the inside."
"That's all that matters."
Yi Xian blushed slightly and complained, "Bah! You smooth criminal!"
...
...
The night arrived at the Nine Serene Palace, and Baek Ain visited the Nine Serene Spring.
He dived into the lake, coating himself in Dou Qi energy and Spatial Strength.
After exploring for a whole, he then heard a ring.
[Ding! Do you want to Sign In to the Nine Serene Spring's Core?]
"Hehehe, of course."
