A few days later, in the capital.
The first ray of sunlight shone into the house through the window leaves. A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it the refreshing feeling of the morning.
There was a figure that was black and shiny all over, clumsy, and a figure that was jumping up and down, scratching his ears and cheeks. With the cooperation of the two, they carefully opened the window and looked down at the person on the bed.
The two of them looked at each other as if they were planning something…
“Hey! You two, didn’t I say that I would impart you cultivation today? Why are you in such a hurry!”
Lin Bai slowly opened his eyes and started to scold them jokingly. He used his elbow to support himself on the bed and slowly sat up. However, the tearing sensation from his muscles made him involuntarily open his mouth.
When Little Black and Little Blue saw this, they looked worried and their expressions after doing something bad.
“It’s okay, it’s okay!”
Lin Bai stretched out his hand and played with the two little beasts.
The armor on Little Black’s body was ice-cold. As soon as he touched it, Lin Bai felt a chill rush into his body, and the tiredness when he woke up was swept away.
The hair on Little Blue was long, soft, and smooth. It was quite nice to touch
As he touched the two little beasts, Lin Bai recalled what had happened a few days ago.
That day, the secret chamber collapsed, and they and the City Lord fell into the abyss.
Little Red desperately wanted to catch Lin Bai and every small beast, but in the end, it was too weak. It could only watch as more people and small beasts fell into the abyss.
Just as despair rose in their hearts, they suddenly realized that there was a turbulent undercurrent under the abyss. As a result, they were able to save their lives and escape from the secret chamber by following the undercurrent.
Ever since Lin Bai had fallen into the undercurrent, he had been focused on searching for traces of the City Lord and Shan. However, until they escaped from the underground, they had not been able to find any traces of the City Lord and Shan.
After that, they rested in the wilderness for a night before returning to the capital and returning to Bai Xi’s home.
Bai Xi, Fatty, skinny, and Fu Hu were all heavily injured. The butler of the Bai Xi manor had come forward and invited a doctor who could be trusted and had superb medical skills to treat them.
Other than Fatty and Fu Hu, who hadn’t woken up for a long time, Bai Xi and thin man were only physically weak. They could only recuperate in their rooms for the time being, and weren’t allowed to go out.
Everything that had happened in the City Lord’s estate, the secret chamber beneath the City Lord’s Manor, and the demonic chi that remained in the secret chamber, soon caused a stir in the entire capital.
All the major powers and clans were looking for the City Lord, but they were unable to find him. The entire capital was in an uproar.
Lin Bai stayed in Bai Xi’s manor and recuperated in peace. He paid no attention to what was happening outside the window. After a few days, his body gradually recovered.
Yesterday, he had told the little beasts that he was ready to start imparting his strength the next day. Today, this scene had happened early in the morning.
Lin Bai washed up and ate some more. The maid had already prepared breakfast. He drank a cup of hot tea and let out a long sigh of relief.
The blue sky and white clouds that he was used to in the past had become fresh in Lin Bai’s eyes after the great tragedy.
After immersing himself in the scenery for a while, Lin Bai only felt the leg of his pants being pulled. He saw Little Blue and Little Black looking up at him.
Lin Bai scolded them with a smile. He went to the bamboo forest in the courtyard and sat on an exquisite stone bench.
“Little Green, come!”
Lin Bai waved his hand at Little Green. Little Green came up to him with a face full of joy, while the other little beasts looked regretful.
“There’s some for everyone. Don’t worry!” Lin Bai could not help but feel amused. Hearing his promise, the other little beasts smiled again.
“System, I want to pass on my cultivation to Little Green,” Lin Bai said in his heart.
[Ding — ]
[The host has passed on 50 days of cultivation to Little Green.]
[70 times of return has been successfully triggered.]
[The host has received 3,500 days of return of cultivation.]
Lin Bai only felt a surge of cultivation surging into him. It was as if a long drought had brought sweet dew, comfortable and refreshing.
Little Green rubbed against Lin Bai’s arm in satisfaction, while Little Red was already flapping its wings, unable to wait any longer.
“Come, Little Red.” Lin Bai patted Little Red’s head lovingly. A warm feeling came from his palm, making him feel warm all over.
[Ding — ]
[The host has given Little Red 50 days of cultivation.]
[40-fold return has been successfully triggered.]
[The host has received 2,000-fold return of cultivation.]
Little Black blinked its jet-black eyes and looked at Lin Bai. Lin Bai could not help but smile.
[Ding — ]
[The host has given Little Black fifty days of cultivation.]
[Sixty-fold return has been successfully triggered.]
[The host has received three thousand days of cultivation.]
…
After half a day, every little beast was satisfied and stood beside Lin Bai.
Lin Bai felt the cultivation surging into his body and nodded his head in satisfaction. If he continued to increase his cultivation, he was confident that he would be able to finish the City Lord off the next time he met the City Lord.
Lin Bai took out the small cauldron again. The small cauldron floated in front of him with a faint luster.
“Let’s test your power.”
As Lin Bai spoke, he urged his spiritual power and crazily poured it into the small cauldron.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The small cauldron’s entire body shone with golden light. The originally simple body of the cauldron seemed to have turned into gold, and there was a majestic and terrifying power circulating within the small cauldron.
The few small beasts stared at the small cauldron with their eyes wide open.
“Hmm, not bad. It’s just as I guessed. The higher the cultivation, the more spiritual energy that is surged into the small cauldron, and the greater the power that the small cauldron can unleash… Then, where is the limit?”
Lin Bai suddenly looked forward to what kind of power this small cauldron could unleash when his cultivation was unfathomable in the future.
Moreover, during these days, Lin Bai could only recuperate from his injuries. In his spare time, he would ponder over this small cauldron.
Other than activating his spiritual power and life force to launch the most ordinary attacks, Lin Bai also discovered some special points. However, due to the injuries on his body, he could only put this aside for now.
At this moment, at the other end of the courtyard, an old man with snow-white hair, ruddy complexion, and a stooped figure walked in. There was a faint smile on the corners of the old man’s mouth.
“Elder Shi!”
Lin Bai stood up when he saw the old man. His eyes were filled with hope.
Elder Shi was Bai Xi’s butler. He had followed Bai Xi since she was young and was deeply trusted by Bai XI.
Elder Shi slowly walked to the front and sat opposite Lin Bai. He drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat and said,
“All the forces and clans in the capital know about the matters in the City Lord’s estate.”
Lin Bai nodded and listened patiently.
“They guessed that the City Lord must have died at your hands, but they had all kinds of different opinions about who the demon was.
“Of course, some people only pretended to be concerned, but in fact, there were undercurrents of power from all sides. Many people were coveting the position of the City Lord, and they could do anything for it
“And at this time, the Grand Elder of the Alchemist Association stepped forward. He used the name of the Alchemist Association to vouch for your innocence and pushed the blame onto Mr. He.”
When Lin Bai heard this, he frowned. He had thought that someone would be able to see the City Lord’s true face and vouch for him after seeing the scene and the secret room of the City Lord’s estate.
However, he had never thought that this person was actually the grand elder of the Alchemist Association.
