Heavenly Demonic Sable

"Come out!" Lin Mu said abruptly.

"Big Brother, are there other people here besides us?" Lin Dong glanced around warily. The space here was not very large; it was impossible for anyone else to be hiding.

"There's no one hiding nearby, but there's a mouse hiding in your Stone Talisman. A portion of the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower's medicinal power was clearly absorbed by someone else just now." Lin Mu smiled.

"Inside the Stone Talisman?" Lin Dong looked at his palm in shock.

"Are you coming out on your own, or do you want me to drag you out?" Lin Mu continued.

"Bastard, you're the mouse!" A black "mouse" suddenly appeared on Lin Dong's shoulder, glaring angrily at Lin Mu. Clearly, it was extremely displeased with being called a mouse.

"It really is a mouse—and it can talk!" Lin Dong grabbed the mouse from his shoulder.

"You two ignorant little bastards, I'm a Heavenly Demonic Sable, not a mouse!" Little Sable bared his teeth as he spoke, seeing that Lin Dong also regarded him as a mouse.

"Never mind whether you're a Heavenly Demonic Sable or a mouse. Tell me, why were you hiding inside the Stone Talisman and secretly absorbing the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower's medicinal power?" Lin Dong asked.

"That violent Spiritual Power would have blown you apart. I saved your life." Little Sable spoke with little confidence. If Lin Dong had not possessed the method of condensing symbols, he truly would not have been able to absorb so much Spiritual Power. But things were different now; it did not matter how much he absorbed.

"Tch, do you think I'm that easy to fool?" Lin Dong was no fool. One look was enough for him to tell that Little Sable was lying.

"What are you trying to do?" Seeing the look in Lin Dong's eyes, Little Sable instinctively wanted to take two steps back, but Lin Dong was holding him, leaving him unable to break free.

"You seem to be very afraid of me?" Lin Dong smiled.

"He is currently a Demon Spirit. If you absorb him, your Spiritual Power will increase considerably." Lin Mu smiled.

"There's something that good?" At those words, Lin Dong's eyes gleamed.

"Let me tell you, I'm a Heavenly Demonic Sable! If you make me angry, none of us will have a good ending!" Little Sable's fur instantly stood on end.

"Big Brother, what kind of race is the Heavenly Demonic Sable? Is it very powerful?" Lin Dong asked.

"The Heavenly Demonic Sable clan is one of the four great overlords of the Demon Domain. Their strength is indeed impressive. He should have been at the peak of the Death Profound Realm before, but now he can't even defeat you. He was only trying to scare you just now." Lin Mu smiled.

"There are actually people in this godforsaken place who know about the Heavenly Demonic Sable?" Little Sable said in shock. More importantly, Lin Mu could even see through his former strength.

"Not only does this godforsaken place have people who know about the Heavenly Demonic Sable, it also has a down-and-out Heavenly Demonic Sable." Lin Mu smiled. Teasing this haughty little mouse was quite amusing.

"Big Brother, what should we do with him?" Lin Dong asked.

"That's up to you. Although he has lost his strength, his knowledge is still quite extensive. If you keep him by your side, you can broaden your horizons in the future. Besides, if he wants to revive, he needs a pill called the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. Without relying on you, he can never obtain it, so you needn't worry too much about him turning on you."

"Of course, if you want to absorb him and increase your Spiritual Power, that works too. Though he is weak now, if you absorb him, you can at least break through to become a Three Symbol Talisman Master."

Lin Mu shrugged and deliberately gave Lin Dong two choices, frightening Little Sable badly.

"Keeping me by your side will bring you many benefits. I was the Stone Talisman's former owner, so I know its uses better than you do." Little Sable hurriedly said, trying to demonstrate his value.

"Really?" Lin Dong asked skeptically.

"Of course. It was because of this Stone Talisman that I ended up in my current state." Little Sable said.

"It seems this Stone Talisman really is extraordinary. Even an expert like you perished because of it." Lin Dong said in shock.

"Of course. Let me warn you: it would be best not to let anyone else know about the Stone Talisman in the future. There are very few people in this world who can resist its temptation." Little Sable said.

"My big brother doesn't covet this Stone Talisman." Lin Dong said. Lin Mu had been the one to discover it in the first place.

"He's right. There truly are very few people in this world who can resist the temptation of this Stone Talisman. Don't let anyone else learn of its existence." Lin Mu said.

"Big Brother, do you know the origin of this Stone Talisman?" Lin Dong asked curiously.

"You'll find out in the future." Lin Mu did not tell Lin Dong of the Stone Talisman's origins. It was still too early.

Lin Dong did not ask again, but he grew increasingly curious about the Stone Talisman.

"Mu'er, Dong'er!" Lin Zhentian's voice came from nearby.

After Lin Mu and Lin Dong entered, Qin Ying had still felt somewhat uneasy and told Lin Zhentian about it. Upon hearing the news, Lin Zhentian immediately rushed over.

"Grandfather!" The two called out at the same time.

Upon hearing that others had arrived, Little Sable immediately hid inside the Stone Talisman. The fewer people who knew about him, the better. He had nearly been absorbed as nourishment just now.

"Are you two all right?" Lin Zhentian asked worriedly.

"We're fine. We only noticed something unusual here and came in to investigate." Lin Mu said.

"Don't be so reckless next time." Lin Zhentian said. Seeing that the two were unharmed, he finally let out a sigh of relief. They were now the hope of the Lin Family's rise.

"We understand!" Lin Mu and Lin Dong both nodded.

"The Yang Gang Qi here is actually so scorching. Unfortunately, it contains too many violent elements and cannot be absorbed." Lin Zhentian frowned.

"Grandfather, I can absorb the Yang Gang Qi here." Lin Dong said, drawing a large amount of Yang Gang Qi into his body as he spoke.

"Dong'er, don't be reckless!" Lin Zhentian cried in alarm, wanting to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Grandfather, it's fine. Look!" Lin Dong said. The Yang Gang Qi he had just absorbed appeared in his palm, its violent elements already removed.

"What is going on?" Lin Zhentian was somewhat shocked.

"Perhaps it's because Little Dong's physique is special." Lin Mu explained for him.

"Mm." Lin Zhentian could not think of any other reason. Then he said, "From now on, this place will be reserved exclusively as Dong'er's cultivation site."

"Thank you, Grandfather!" Lin Dong said happily. Wasn't this precisely why he had revealed that he could absorb the Yang Gang Qi?

Lin Zhentian was already in the Core Formation Realm and no longer needed the Yang Gang Qi here.

"Let's go. We should head out first." Lin Zhentian said.

"Mm."

The three left the mine together, with Little Flame following behind them. After swallowing the Sky Fire Flood Dragon's Demonic Infant, Little Flame had changed greatly. Its claws gleamed, and no one would doubt their sharpness.

After leaving the mine, Lin Zhentian had Qin Ying tidy up the mine. Since it would serve as a cultivation site in the future, it certainly could not remain as it was now.

"Mu'er, Dong'er, tomorrow your uncle and your father will escort the first batch of mined Yang Yuan Stones to Yan City. If you're interested, you can go along and take a look." Lin Zhentian suddenly remembered.

"Mm." Lin Mu nodded. He had been in this world for so long but had never left Qingyang Town. It would be good to visit Yan City; it would surely be more prosperous than Qingyang Town.
