Forest Training

Since they were returning the same way, the group walked faster than they had come.

After leaving the cave, the group did not spend the night in the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape's cave. Instead, they found another spacious cave, cleaned up the surroundings, and then settled in.

After all, the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape's cave always had a faint smell of Magical Beast, and having an unfamiliar Magical Beast nearby wasn't very reassuring.

In the following period, Lin Qing took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to train in the Magic Beast Forest. With him, the Lion, and Zi Yan and Cailin backing them up, there was no need to worry about any accidents. If they encountered fifth or sixth-tier Magical Beast, he could extract their essence blood.

Several days later, he stood in a valley with Cailin and the Lion Zi Yan.

At this moment, below the valley, on one side, Qing Lin was fighting a giant wolf covered in blue fur, while on the other side, Xiao Yi was facing a giant tiger with a single horn on its head and white fur all over its body.

That wolf is called the Gale Wolf, a wind-attribute Magical Beast known for its speed, and it's a third-tier beast. That tiger is called the Frost Unicorn Tiger, an ice-attribute Magical Beast known for its strength, and it's Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

"Awoo~!"

With a howl, the Gale Wolf leaped forward and swung its claws at Qing Lin's tender neck.

Qing Lin was now enveloped in her Dou Qi Armor. She immediately pushed off with her feet, using her Flight Dou Technique to take her into the sky. Then, she gathered a sharp Dou Qi on her right finger and charged towards the Gale Wolf.

"Bang!"

The man and the wolf crossed paths in an instant. Then, Qing Lin gently floated to the ground, while the Gale Wolf crashed to the ground, blood flowing from its forehead.

After dealing with the Gale Wolf, Qing Lin quickly released two Tier 5 Serpentine Magical Beast to guard the surroundings. Then, she took out a dagger from her Storage Ring and retrieved the Gale Wolf's Monster Core.

"Bang!" At the same time, Little Xiao Yi Xian slammed her fist, which contained the ultimate ice attribute Dou Qi, into the face of the Frost Unicorn Tiger.

Suddenly, with a muffled thud, the Frost Unicorn Tiger's head exploded, and its body fell to the ground.

"Indeed, only real-world experience is the best teacher!"

Seeing that Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian had ended the battle cleanly and efficiently, Lin Qing couldn't help but praise them.

In the past few days, as the two women completed their first kill, they have also been making progress. Now they can each hunt five Magical Beast a day. Of course, Xiao Yi Xian is at the Tier 4 and Qing Lin is at the third level.

With Zi Yan's guidance, he also extracted more than twenty portions of the blood essence of Tier 5 Magical Beast and ten portions of the blood essence of Tier 6 Magical Beast. This blood essence was enough to complete the introductory stage of the Human Emperor Classic's Scripture.

During this time, Lion and Zi Yan also wanted to donate a portion of his essence blood, but Lin Qing refused outright.

After a month had passed, Lin Qing led everyone toward the academy.

An hour later, Lin Qing and his group arrived at the Jia Nan Academy.

Just as the group was slowly approaching the academy, two figures appeared in front of them.

The visitors were none other than Vice Principal Hu Gan and Enforcement Squad Commander Wu Tianlang.

"So it's Elder Lin!"

Wu Tianlang and Hu Gan nodded to Lin Qing, then looked at Cailin behind him with some confusion and asked:

"Who is this gentleman?"

In fact, given Lin Qing and Zi Yan's status, they wouldn't have bothered to ask questions.

However, the academy naturally had to pay attention to the sudden appearance of Cailin, an unfamiliar Dou Zong powerhouse.

Last time, before they could even ask, Lin Qing hurriedly led her into the elders' residential area, and then they rushed off with the students and Zi Yan into the Magic Beast Forest.

"These are family members!"

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Qing replied calmly.

After all, family members and friends are different; family members are allowed to enter the Outer Academy and Canaan City.

Upon hearing Cailin, a fleeting hint of unease crossed Cai Lin's face, but she quickly regained her composure.

However, her gaze remained fixed on Lin Qing's retreating figure, while she thought to herself: Is this what you call a young man's confession?

"Family members?!" Hu Gan, and at the same time secretly sighed that Lin Qing was quite lucky.

"Since they are family members, then there's no problem!"

Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang didn't waste any more words, leveled up, and then turned and left.

After the two left, Lin Qing and Cailin tacitly refrained from discussing what Lin Qing had just said.

After Lin Qing and his group returned to the Small Courtyard.

"You all need to train hard! Prepare well for the competition. I plan to take Lion and Cailin to the Black-Corner Region in a couple of days. I'll be back before the competition."

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin replied "okay," and then took Cailin to arrange rooms.

"Lin Qing, I want to go too!"

Zi Yan, who hadn't left the room the whole time, couldn't help but speak when she heard Lin Qing preparing to leave.

She had long wanted to venture out into the world, but Old Man Su wouldn't allow her to go out alone. She had already explored all the mountains around the academy, and if she wanted to find Medicinal Herb, she would have to go deeper into the mountains.

Now that Lin Qing is going out, she can go with him. If he leaves, there will be no one to refine Medicinal Pill and Medicinal Pellet for her, and she also doesn't want to be separated from Lin Qing.

And then there's Sister Cailin. If Sister Cailin leaves, there will be no one to play with her.

Lin Qing was somewhat taken aback by Zi Yan's request. He hadn't been gone for long, so why did she want to come along?

In the end, Lin Qing nodded in agreement.

"Alright! But you have to listen to me and not wander off, or I'll send you back!"

Through his interactions with the original novel and his current interactions, he has gained some understanding of Zi Yan's personality. She is restless and somewhat fearless. Because she is growing up, she also likes to steal Medicinal Herb. When taking her out, it is essential to make a clear agreement and keep a close eye on her, otherwise she may easily cause trouble.

Although she is unconventional, she is not a bad person at heart. She knows what is important, is thoughtful, and is very trustworthy.

"Okay! I'll go tell Old Man Su!"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's promise to take her out, Zi Yan's face lit up with joy, and she disappeared in a flash.

"You're really in a hurry!"

Seeing Zi Yan's hurried appearance, Lin Qing shook his head slightly. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a monkey-like Magical Beast!

Over the next two days, Lin Qing visited Xiao Yu and the others, gave Xue Mei and the other two pointers on alchemy, and obtained a map of the Black-Corner Region's power distribution from Elder Huo.

Of course, Su Qian also came by during this time, mainly to inquire about Lin Qing taking Zi Yan to the Black-Corner Region.

After all, Zi Yan was someone he brought back and raised. Although she had always been left to her own devices, he had long regarded her as his granddaughter, so he was particularly concerned about Zi Yan safety.

The Black-Corner Region is the most chaotic area in terms of rules on the continent, and it is also home to some old monsters, so he was a little uneasy.

Lin Qing replied that he wanted to go to the Black-Corner Region to find some Medicinal Herb to enhance the soul, and that he would be back soon. He said that he and Lion Cailin would take care of him on the way, and he also introduced Cailin, who had already entered the Dou Zong.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry too much, because even if they are outnumbered and ambushed, they can still escape.
