Displaying the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils

Qing Lin studied very seriously, and her talent was not bad to begin with. In less than half an hour, Shi Kang had guided her through the basics.

Qing Lin could already absorb the Dou Qi in the air on her own. She could feel a warm power flowing through her body, and her heart brimmed with joy.

She could cultivate too!

Naturally, Shi Kang did not hesitate to praise her.

"Qing Lin, you did very well. Keep working hard!" he said with a smile.

If he wanted to change someone and help her stop feeling inferior, he needed to praise her more often.

Shi Kang understood this well. He hoped that through his praise, Qing Lin would gradually build up her confidence.

It was the first time anyone had praised her. Qing Lin felt that perhaps she was not as worthless as she had thought.

In the past, even when Qing Lin finished her chores quickly, not only would no one praise her, they would give her even more work.

Every day, she had to do countless heavy household chores, yet she had never received a single word of recognition.

So simply accomplishing something could earn her praise...

Tears welled up in Qing Lin's eyes. She looked at Shi Kang gratefully and said, "Young Master, thank you!"

Shi Kang pinched her cheek.

Just as he was about to say something, Shi Fei's voice came from outside.

"Young Clan Leader, the Monster Beasts have been captured!"

That was pretty efficient, Shi Kang thought.

"Come on, I'll teach you some other things," Shi Kang said, taking Qing Lin's hand.

"Mm, okay!" Qing Lin replied obediently.

Holding Qing Lin's small hand, he stepped outside and immediately saw Shi Fei, along with two snake-like Monster Beasts lying on the ground. They struggled, but could not move at all.

One was a third-tier snake-type Monster Beast, while the other was fourth-tier.

Shi Kang could tell at a glance that the two were the same species of Monster Beast, but he truly had no idea what they were called.

The two snake-type Monster Beasts were dozens of zhang long, with sharp horns growing from their heads that gave off a chilling aura. Their heads were enormous, but their eyes were pathetically small, like two mung beans embedded within, occasionally flashing with savage light. Their gaping maws revealed sword-sharp fangs, drool continuously dripping from the corners of their mouths. They looked utterly ferocious.

One word described them perfectly: ugly. Two words described them even better: monstrously ugly.

Qing Lin was instantly frightened by their vicious appearance. Her little face turned deathly pale, and her small hand unconsciously gripped Shi Kang's arm tightly. Her body trembled slightly, like a startled fawn.

Sensing Qing Lin's fear, Shi Kang gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly. "Don't be afraid. They've already been restrained. They can't move."

Hearing that, Qing Lin finally relaxed a little and found some courage, though her eyes still held a trace of nervousness.

"Qing Lin, when I said before that you were talented, it was because of your eyes," Shi Kang said seriously as he looked at her.

"My eyes?" Qing Lin looked puzzled. She did not understand what was special about her eyes. They seemed no different from anyone else's.

"Mm. You possess the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. This type of pupil is extremely rare and only appears among humans and snakes..." Shi Kang began, then suddenly realized that what he was about to say might touch upon the pain buried deep in Qing Lin's heart, so he stopped.

"Of course, none of that matters. You only need to know that your pupils are very powerful. They are practically the bane of all snake-type Monster Beasts. They can establish a one-sided forced connection with snake-type Monster Beasts, allowing you to control them with ease. They can also open up a unique space within your eyes and store Monster Beasts or people inside it. As your strength continues to grow, the limits of that space will increase as well. The strength of the Monster Beasts or people stored within can gradually be absorbed by the user and converted into their own power," Shi Kang explained in detail.

Qing Lin had never heard of such miraculous things before, so she listened in a daze, her eyes full of confusion.

But hearing Young Master say that her eyes seemed to possess such powerful abilities made her very happy.

"Then, Young Master, if I have these Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, does that mean I can help you?" Qing Lin looked at Shi Kang expectantly.

Seeing that Qing Lin was not joking, Shi Kang's heart softened.

Now that Qing Lin knew she could become stronger, her first thought was whether she could help him...

He had not cared for her in vain...

Then he smiled and said, "Of course. I'll need your help in the future. You must cultivate diligently and make yourself stronger."

Qing Lin nodded heavily. "I will, Young Master!"

Shi Kang turned to Shi Fei and asked, "Shi Long, Shi Fei, do you know how to use the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?"

Shi Long emerged from the shadows. Then the two exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

"Young Clan Leader, we have only heard of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. We don't know how to use them."

Shi Kang was somewhat disappointed. He had thought that the two had lived so long and seen so much that they would know at least something about how to use them, but...

All he could say was that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were simply too rare. Neither of them specialized in studying them, so it was normal for them not to know.

The Stone Clan's Scripture Library should have records concerning the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, but Shi Kang was not in the Stone Realm right now, so there was no way for him to consult them.

With no other choice, Shi Kang could only have Qing Lin try to figure out how to use them herself.

He believed that if she tried enough times, she would eventually succeed.

"Qing Lin, try using your eyes to communicate with them and see if you can control them..." Shi Kang encouraged her.

Although the Monster Beasts had been restrained, they still glared fiercely, their faces full of savagery. Qing Lin could not help feeling afraid.

Her heart pounded as she hesitated, not daring to approach them.

Qing Lin encouraged herself in her heart. I can do this! I want to help Young Master!

For some reason, courage rose within her. She gathered her resolve and slowly approached the third-tier Monster Beast, beginning to try establishing a connection with it through her eyes.

Following Shi Kang's instructions, she fixed her gaze tightly on the Monster Beast's eyes.

Sure enough, Qing Lin sensed an inexplicable feeling. It was as though an Invisible Power was drawing her in, allowing her to establish some kind of connection with the Monster Beast before her.

Qing Lin began trying to control the Monster Beast. Before long, the three jade-green dots in her eyes began to flicker.

The next moment, the third-tier Monster Beast, whose gaze had been so vicious just moments ago, suddenly had clear eyes.

Shi Kang, who watched from the side, was delighted. He had not expected Qing Lin to be so talented that she would succeed on her first attempt.

"Young Master, I think I succeeded!" Qing Lin said joyfully, excitement gleaming in her eyes.

She could clearly sense that she could control the Monster Beast. Whatever she told it to do, it would do. The feeling was simply too wondrous.

Shi Kang first stepped forward and pulled Qing Lin back to ensure her safety, then said to Shi Fei, "Shi Fei, release it."

Shi Fei did as he was told.

Freed from its restraints, the third-tier Monster Beast did not reveal its former savagery and pounce on them. Instead, it merely stared blankly at Qing Lin with an expression of submission.

"Qing Lin, try controlling it," Shi Kang said.

"Okay!"

Qing Lin gave it an order. "Turn around once."
