A Spirit Beast Appears? Dull Hair!

"Our Saintess has finally done something right... Ugh, what right thing? She hasn't even gotten her driver's license yet, sigh!"

Lin Fan shook his head for a while, but didn't notice that the way he addressed Qi Zixiao had changed once again.

She went from Tigress to... our Saintess.

Isn't that ours?

What, you want to get married?

Lin Fan had actually avoided this question before, not wanting to think about it, because damn, just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.

Especially considering that I also have to travel through time...

Are you crazy?!

If Qi Zixiao gets married or something, will I have to be her wife and mother?!

However, he knew too little about the Cultivation World before, and he couldn't see any hope of rising to power. Even if he didn't want to, he was helpless.

Now?

Although it's still a small account and a newbie in cultivation, at least there's a tiny chance of rising up.

Having the opportunity to rise means... hehehe~!

The corner of his mouth curled up.

Putting everything else aside, just for this G-Wagon, we have to work hard to turn that Tigress into our Saintess!

What?

What if something unexpected happens during this process?!

This guy started grinding his teeth.

"No accidents will happen; we'll erase any potential accidents before they even happen!"

Upon entering his home, Lin Fan's first action was to run to the courtyard to check on the situation.

What he saw completely stunned him.

"What... what the heck?! It's growing this fast?!"

They're growing too fast!

Before I went to the cultivation world last time, these herbs were only about a foot tall, but now? They're at least a meter tall!

They're mostly around this height, and they're so green they're almost dizzyingly so. You can tell at a glance that they're of exceptionally high quality!

But... Lin Fan wasn't particularly happy about this change.

"This is not right!"

"Medicinal herbs aren't about being tall or big!"

He frowned slightly.

Although I have little experience or knowledge about cultivating medicinal herbs, I know that just because something grows big doesn't mean it's a medicinal herb.

For example, the spiritual herbs we saw on Medicine Peak, even if we didn't know their names, all looked to be growing normally, with no apparent problems!

The body shape remained normal with little change, but the quality of life underwent a dramatic transformation!

But these I'm planting now...

"It seems the quality has improved somewhat, but overall, the improvement in 'quality' isn't significant; on the contrary, the 'quantity' has increased many times over. What should we do?"

Simply put

A true elixir should absorb spiritual energy to achieve a qualitative leap and transformation.

But when I grow these myself, all I've achieved so far is a leap in 'size'! It's practically like they've become a different species.

So, at present, is this medicine effective enough to refine Spiritual Energy Pill or Great Strength Pill?

Have no idea!

"If it grows a few more days, wouldn't it possibly grow outside the yard?"

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The fence around the yard is only about two meters high. If it keeps growing like this, its size will increase dramatically, and it will attract too much attention!

This is because the buildings in this area are not very tall; otherwise, they would probably have been discovered long ago.

"... Let's keep an eye on it. Next time, I'll ask Dan Chengzi and see if I've made a mistake somewhere."

"Also, the greenhouses should be ready to be built soon, right?"

In this day and age, as long as the money is there, there's no project that can't start immediately!

"Unfortunately, there are still too few Pseudo Spiritual Stone. To set up such a large-scale Spirit Gathering Array, you would need at least several hundred or even a thousand, right?"

"Six days and a few dozen yuan at this rate..."

What should we do?

Lin Fan frowned and began to ponder.

People from all over the country, even traveling to places like "lao mian" (a type of Lao Mian), to buy it?

It's possible, but it's very troublesome, extremely troublesome.

Moreover, buying too much will definitely attract attention!

"Alright, let's discuss this with our Saintess. Who knows what she might think..."

After shaking his head a few times, Lin Fan prepared to go inside and get something to eat.

But then he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Something just feels off."

"That's it! Birds!"

On previous occasions, there were many birds in the yard, and they even helped eat insects and such, but this time, that scene was gone.

It's not that there are no birds left, but that there's only one left!

Moreover, this thing was standing on a herb, tilting its neck, looking directly at Lin Fan.

Its size hasn't increased, but it's noticeably more 'agile'. Originally, it should have been a kingfisher, and it still is a kingfisher, except that it has a tuft of ' Dull Hair ' on its head.

Moreover, its plumage is much brighter than that of an ordinary kingfisher.

Just then, a bird was attracted and tried to land in the courtyard, but the ' Dull Hair ' instantly shot up and beat the bird into a screaming escape in a few moves.

It calmly returned to its original position and continued to stare at Lin Fan.

"So, this guy just chased all the other birds away?"

"Judging from its appearance, it's probably mutated or something."

"We can't turn into a ' Spirit Beast ', can we?"

He thought it was unlikely.

If the herbs I grow myself don't turn into medicinal herbs, why can a bird turn into Spirit Beast?

Can you hear what I'm saying?

The Dull Hair tilted his head and looked at Lin Fan.

"..."

"This is my territory!"

Dull Hair: "..."

You can't do anything reckless!

Dull Hair: "..."

Lin Fan: "..."

"As expected, I was overthinking it. How could it possibly turn into Spirit Beast?"

"However, since this guy has always been in my yard, it's possible... I'm talking about that bird, let me give you a name."

"From now on, you'll be called 'Dull Hair '."

"Chirp chirp!!"

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the Dull Hair immediately started chattering and its fur stood on end!

Lin Fan was speechless. "..."

Then he spoke again, "Dull Hair?"

"Chirp chirp!!!"

This time, the Dull Hair) not only bristled, but also flapped its wings wildly.

"It really became Spirit Beast?!"

Lin Fan blinked.

"Are you still pretending with me?"

"Chirp!"

The Dull Hair cowlick) proudly tilted its head back, the Dull Hair on its head fluttering in the wind.

"Alright, stop showing off. I don't know how much you can understand, but it would be best if you could understand what I'm saying."

"You became Spirit Beast on my territory, and I don't care what methods you used, but remember, from now on, you are my pet!"

"Chirp!"

Its Dull Hair) bristled again, and it even charged directly at Lin Fan.

Very fast!

It completely surpassed the speed of ordinary birds, like an arrow released from a bow.

"Holy crap?"

Lin Fan was startled, but he quickly produced a dumpling in his palm and pressed it towards the object.

Boom!!

The next moment, the Dull Hair) spun out and flew, crashing into the wall before slowly sliding down...

"You dare to betray your master?"

Lin Fan crossed his arms and chuckled.

After its Dull Hair) slipped off, it stood trembling by the wall. When it looked at Lin Fan again, the 'bird' was dumbfounded!

It only knows that it is now invincible among its kind, but who has ever seen such a "human" before?

I feel like they're much better than me!

Little did it know that it was merely a creature that had been nourished by spiritual energy, had just begun to develop some intelligence, and had undergone initial physical transformation.

Let alone any kind of Demon Beast or Spirit Beast, humans wouldn't even acknowledge such a fellow human; at most, it's just a minor demon that has barely scratched the surface.

Using the realms of cultivators, it's roughly the early stage of Qi Refining.

It would be a miracle if Qi Refining in the early Qi Refining stage could defeat someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Now you have two choices. One, you leave here, and I won't bother killing you, but you're never allowed to come back again, or I'll make soup out of you."

"Second, you can be my pet and stay here every day, but you have to look after the yard for me!"

Lin Fan had an idea.

Neither he nor Qi Zixiao could stay in the yard forever. Although surveillance is useful, if someone really wants to cause trouble, at most we can find out who did it afterward. If it is destroyed, what's the use of finding out afterward?

But... if the Dull Hair) stays here the whole time, then I'll feel much more at ease.

Not only can it drive away other birds, but even if people come, Lin Fan estimates that ordinary people would not be a match for the Dull Hair.

At least, if this thing were flying at full speed now, a peck from it would be no less powerful than an arrow shot at it.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Dull Hair and kept nodding, but it didn't fly away.

leave?

How could it possibly leave now?

Unable to win a fight, they had no choice but to live under someone else's roof.

What, arrogant?

Come on, it's not some phoenix descendant or a Vermilion Bird offspring. It's just a little kingfisher. Knowing that staying here is of great benefit to it, why would it leave?

"That's good. From now on, the job of guarding the house will be yours. If you do a good job, you'll be richly rewarded!"

"..."

The Dull Hair tilted its head again. A hefty reward? What kind of reward?

Lin Fan already had an idea in his mind.

Or, how about we get a set of Demon Cultivation Method or something, and let Dull Hair try it out?

"But with its current level of intelligence, it probably won't be able to learn it."

"However, it's never a bad thing to give it a try."

The next two days were relatively relaxed.

While keeping an eye on the situation in the yard, Lin Fan continued to tap on the Dull Hair) and also kept an eye on the construction progress of the greenhouse.

They're using 'vegetable greenhouses'!

It's because Lin Fan required a fully modernized system with automatic temperature control and watering that the construction took a little longer; otherwise, it would have been completed in a week at most.

Even so, it is said that it can be completed within half a month.

They even subtly hinted at a message to Lin Fan.

The speed at which Party A completes the work depends on when Party B makes payment.

It's just money, isn't it?

Lin Fan said there was nothing wrong with it.

They should be told to speed up the construction, but it's certain that it won't be finished before the next time travel...

Fortunately, we don't have enough Pseudo Spiritual Stone right now, so there's no need to rush.

Meanwhile, when he had free time, Lin Fan also went to the driving school twice.

However, he was a little confused while practicing driving.

because...

The instructor's attitude was just too good! So good that Lin Fan couldn't believe this guy was a driving school instructor!

Of course, while it's called practicing driving, it's really just about getting familiar with the car.

Lin Fan doesn't have a driver's license, but he has some driving experience, so as long as he gets familiar with it, he can pick it up again without any problems.

Busy as I was, I traveled through time once again and arrived.
