Refining Yang Gang Qi, Little Mink Appears!

Lin Yi silently extended his right hand, his palm rotating slightly. A suction force emanated from his palm, instantly drawing the surrounding Yang Gang Qi into it.

Lin Yi did not absorb these Yang Gang Qi directly into his body; instead, he channeled them into the Stone Talisman first.

"Yi'er, what are you doing?" The sudden surge of Yang Gang Qi immediately caught Lin Xiao's attention. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly.

Lin Zhentian and Lin Ken, seeing that Lin Yi was actually absorbing the violent Yang Gang Qi, also had their expressions change significantly.

"Father, Grandfather, the thing you want is this Yang Gang Qi, right?"

Under the three men's shocked gazes, Lin Yi smiled slightly and raised his right palm, revealing a cluster of pale red gas swirling above it.

Looking at the pale red gas in Lin Yi's palm, Lin Zhentian and the others were stunned.

They could feel that the gas in Lin Yi's palm was exactly the same special Yang Gang Qi that filled the cave.

Moreover, the violent factors within this cluster of Yang Gang Qi had completely dissipated!

"This..."

The three of them stared at this scene, dumbfounded, their hearts filled with both surprise and joy.

After a long while, Lin Zhentian regained his composure and grabbed Lin Yi's hand excitedly, "Yi'er, how did you manage this?"

Lin Zhentian had been stuck at the Late Heaven Origin Realm for many years. Since the Yang Gang Qi here was crucial to whether he could step into the Yuan Dan Stage, how could he not be excited?

"I just absorbed the Yang Gang Qi here into my body and circulated it once, and those violent factors just dissipated on their own. As for the specific reason, I don't really understand it myself..."

Lin Yi blinked, feigning ignorance.

"Father, could it be that Yi'er has a special constitution? One that can automatically purge these things that are harmful to the human body?" Lin Xiao frowned and pondered.

Lin Zhentian also furrowed his brows, feeling very puzzled by this.

"Haha, Father, Third Brother, regardless of the reason, this is a good thing, isn't it?" Lin Ken said with a smile from the side.

"Grandfather, in the future, when you want to cultivate, I will absorb these Yang Gang Qi into my body to refine them first, and then pass them on to you. That way, you will be able to absorb them too," Lin Yi said, seizing the opportunity to speak.

"Yes! Yes!" Hearing this, Lin Zhentian gave a start, his excitement making him somewhat incoherent.

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao, seeing this scene, could not help but chuckle.

Lin Zhentian regained his senses, feeling a bit embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said with feigned authority, "Alright, it's getting late. Everyone go back and rest."

Having said that, Lin Zhentian walked out of the mine first.

The three of them exchanged glances, then followed closely behind him out of the mine and returned to the manor.

After returning to his room, Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, touched the center of his right palm with his fingertips, and then slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, his consciousness felt a momentary trance, and the familiar dark mental space appeared once again.

Inside the Stone Talisman's mental space, the same few light figures were still tirelessly practicing their respective martial arts.

Lin Yi's gaze swept over those light figures, but this time, instead of following them to cultivate as he usually did, he slowly examined this dark space with a scrutinizing eye.

Lin Yi even released his massive Spiritual Energy, carefully scanning every inch of the dark space.

After searching carefully three times, Lin Yi finally discovered a black mouse, about the size of a palm and as dark as ink, in a corner of the dark space.

The mouse's tiny eyes were filled with a very human-like sense of caution.

Clearly, this black mouse was the Demonic Spirit of the Heavenly Demonic Mink, Little Mink!

"So it's a mouse!"

Lin Yi feigned ignorance, speaking aloud while stepping toward Little Mink's position.

"You scoundrel, you're the mouse!"

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Little Mink could no longer bother to hide. Its fur stood on end as it revealed its form from the darkness, glaring at Lin Yi with its small eyes, filled with boundless rage.

Lin Yi gave a playful smile and said, "It's clearly a mouse; have you even forgotten your own species?"

"You ignorant scoundrel, Lord Mink is a Heavenly Demonic Mink, not a mouse!" Little Mink shrieked sharply upon hearing this.

"Heavenly Demonic Mink, I've heard of them. But with your pathetic look, you dare call yourself a Heavenly Demonic Mink?" Seeing Little Mink's exasperated state, Lin Yi teased with a smile.

Little Mink waved its claws and shouted angrily, "Lord Mink was just backstabbed by someone!"

"Fine, whether you are a Heavenly Demonic Mink or not, you secretly absorbed my Spirit Medicine today. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?" Lin Yi rested his chin on his hand and looked at Little Mink.

"Hmph, if I hadn't helped you absorb part of the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower's medicinal power, you would have been dead long ago. Not only are you not thanking me, but you also want to ask me for compensation?" Little Mink snorted coldly.

Lin Yi said indifferently, "You can't fool me with that. You must know something about the Stone Talisman's functions. With the Stone Talisman here, even if I couldn't absorb all the medicinal power of the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower, I wouldn't have been in any danger of dying."

Little Mink's small eyes darted around, its two claws crossed over its chest, acting haughty. "Kid, I am the master of the Stone Talisman. The Stone Talisman helping you is me helping you."

"Perhaps you were indeed the master of the Stone Talisman in the past, but now, the master of the Stone Talisman is me!" Lin Yi glanced at Little Mink and said.

"Believe what you want. Kid, the Stone Talisman is in your hands now, so you can enter whenever you want. But let's keep to our own business; Lord Mink won't interfere with you, and you don't bother Lord Mink!" Little Mink curled its lip and said.

Lin Yi looked Little Mink up and down for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "You seem to be very afraid of me?"

"Haha, haha..."

Hearing this, Little Mink immediately placed its two claws on its waist and looked up to laugh, as if it had heard something incredibly ridiculous.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled slightly and suddenly reached out. His Spiritual Energy coiled out like countless ropes, instantly binding Little Mink and dragging it right in front of him.

"Kid, let go of Lord Mink!" Little Mink was caught, a look of panic instantly appearing on his face as his short little legs struggled incessantly.

Unfortunately, Spiritual Energy was the perfect counter to Demonic Spirits, and Little Mink, now reduced to nothing but a Demonic Spirit, was completely unable to break free from the ropes of Lin Yi's Spiritual Energy.

"Kid, even though Lord Mink is only a Demonic Spirit right now, don't you dare provoke me, or else neither of us will have a good time."

Seeing that he couldn't struggle free, a fierce glint flashed in Little Mink's eyes as he threatened Lin Yi.

Lin Yi brought Little Mink in front of him and set him down, saying calmly, "Rest assured, I won't do anything to you. Since you claim to have once been the master of the Stone Talisman, you should know something about it. Tell me everything you know regarding the Stone Talisman."

"Why should I tell you anything?" After landing on the ground, Little Mink brushed off his backside and immediately tried to bolt into the darkness.

"First, although it might come at a cost, if I really wanted to, I could finish you off. I've heard that consuming Demonic Spirits has quite a few benefits..."

Lin Yi smiled slightly, watching as Little Mink's eyes immediately filled with tension, and continued, "Second, if we cooperate, it will be beneficial for both sides. You surely don't want to exist as a Demonic Spirit forever until you grow weak and fade away, right?"

"You guide me in familiarizing myself with the functions of the Stone Talisman and help me fight enemies when it counts, and perhaps I can help you restore your Demonic Spirit, or even help you reshape your physical body. How about it?"
