After swallowing the beast crystal of the level seven tiger-type demon beast, Xiao Jin was immediately enveloped in cyan spiritual energy.

The spiritual power within this beast crystal was terrifying. Even though Xiao Jin kept absorbing it, a significant amount still dissipated in all directions.

What's even more terrifying about this cyan spiritual energy is that, as it flows outward, it shows signs of crystallization.

If this spiritual energy is not fully absorbed, Xiao Jin may be sealed inside and killed.

Qin Xin wanted to help, but he was powerless to do so. At present, his strength was only at the ninth level of the Yuanfu Realm. Once he came into contact with that cyan violent spiritual power, he would be directly entangled.

"twitter……"!

At this moment, Xiao Feng flapped her wings, which were surrounded by colorful, misty air.

"You mean we shouldn't worry?"

Qin Xin was somewhat puzzled. As the little phoenix flapped its wings, it emitted waves of energy. Although it didn't speak, Qin Xin seemed to understand its meaning.

After hearing Xiao Feng's words, Qin Xin was somewhat anxious, but he could only wait on the sidelines.

As the power of the level seven demon beast crystal dissipated, Xiao Jin had already expanded, its body filled with violent spiritual energy, and more and more crystals formed around it, seemingly trying to completely seal it inside.

"roar!"

Just as the spiritual energy crystal completely sealed Xiao Jin, a roar suddenly rang out.

The golden light on Xiao Jin's head suddenly intensified.

Qin Xin could vaguely see a phantom emerging behind Xiao Jin, seemingly a power emanating from his bloodline.

"Hmm? Has the ancestral bloodline been awakened?"

Qin Xin was slightly surprised to see Xiao Jin's change.

As a spirit beast, Xiao Jin was given to her by his mother after she discovered that he possessed the aura of an ancient celestial phoenix.

Many spirit beasts possess intelligence and are far stronger than demon beasts, mainly because their ancestors mostly possessed the bloodlines of ancient ferocious beasts and ancient divine beasts. However, the power of these bloodlines gradually weakened as they were passed down through generations.

However, there are some unexpected cases, like Xiao Jin's situation now.

After a surge of golden light above its head, golden patterns flowed across Xiao Jin's entire body.

At this moment, Xiao Jin resembled a golden tiger crafted from pure gold, its body enveloped in the same multicolored aura as the ancient celestial phoenix. Qin Xin couldn't help but glance at the little phoenix perched on his shoulder.

After noticing Qin Xin's gaze, the latter quickly flapped its wings.

Qin Xin could sense Xiao Feng's meaning deep down, as if she was showing off her contribution to Xiao Jin's bloodline awakening.

Qin Xin didn't say anything about this, but continued to focus his attention on Xiao Jin.

"Thump!"

The tiger's claws shot out quickly, shattering the crystal that had been sealing it, and an aura of slaughter instantly filled the air.

Qin Xin felt a chill all over his body. The little golden creature was now a size larger than before, which made Qin Xin feel uneasy.

"What kind of ferocious beast bloodline has Little Gold awakened? Its aura is so terrifying."

Qin Xin sighed inwardly.

As soon as the golden light faded, Little Gold immediately transformed into the size of a cat and quickly ran towards Qin Xin, crawling on Qin Xin's legs and rubbing against him affectionately.

"twitter……."

After Xiao Feng flapped its wings twice, Xiao Jin paused for a moment, then took two steps back.

Then, Xiao Feng, looking rather smug, stepped directly onto Xiao Jin's head.

Seeing that Xiao Feng seemed to be deliberately bullying Xiao Jin, Qin Xin couldn't stand it anymore, so he squatted down and picked Xiao Jin up.

Xiao Feng chirped and chattered in dissatisfaction, as if to say that Xiao Jin was its tamed mount and Qin Xin could not take it over like this.

Qin Xin wasn't going to indulge it; he gently tapped the top of the little phoenix's head with his finger.

"You two should get along well from now on."

After Qin Xin said something, Xiao Jin, who had been listless, immediately brightened up in his eyes, as if he had gained more confidence with Qin Xin's support.

"twitter……."

Xiao Feng flapped its wings again, and as if suppressed by bloodline, Xiao Jin lowered its head again, somewhat resentfully.

Seeing the two cubs in such a state, Qin Xin felt somewhat helpless.

However, Qin Xin also began to have some worries. He planned to take Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng into his futon space, but neither of their families was willing, as they both wanted to see the outside world.

This gave Qin Xin a headache. If he were to travel around with the two cubs like this, it would be like he was courting death.

If discovered by powerful forces or families, even his disciples from the Tianxuan Sect might not be able to resist taking direct action.

With the help of some spiritual herbs, Qin Xin finally managed to trick Xiao Jin into the futon space. After all, Xiao Jin needed to sleep to refine all that power after absorbing the beast crystal of a level seven demon beast.

As for Xiao Feng, no matter how Qin Xin tried to persuade her, she remained unwilling.

In the end, an agreement was reached with Qin Xin: when no one was around, it would be released, and when someone was around, it would enter the futon space.

After disposing of the corpse of the level seven tiger-type demon beast, Qin Xin also left the place and headed towards the iron ore mine.

Now that Zhao Cheng has been killed by a level seven tiger-type demon beast, his father, Zhao Xuri, as a Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist, will likely find out about his death soon.

If Zhao Xuri were to find even the slightest clue, it could lead to considerable trouble.

With his current strength, Qin Xin might be able to escape from a martial artist at the Solid Core Realm, but against a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm, the opponent directly used Yuan Power Chains to lock him in place, leaving him with absolutely no chance of escape.

On his way to the iron ore mine, Qin Xin deliberately avoided the route that the level seven tiger-type demon beast had previously used to chase him.

With Xiao Feng protecting him along the way, no other demon beasts dared to approach him. After getting close to the iron mine, Xiao Feng obediently entered the futon space, and Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flew towards a building.

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, in the valley where Zhao Cheng and the others died.

A middle-aged man with a goatee had a gloomy expression that silenced the guards who had come with him.

The man was Zhao Xuri. After learning that his son had taken three Yuan Dan realm martial artists and left Blue Moon City without permission, he was not too worried at first.

After all, everyone around here knows Zhao Xuri's strength. Even if they wanted to make a move against his son, they would have to consider the strength of three Yuan Dan realm martial artists.

Just as Zhao Xuri was preparing to discuss some conditions for the marriage alliance between the two clans with Yang Wei, the tracking talisman he had left on Zhao Cheng suddenly activated.

Zhao Xuri also rushed towards Zhao Cheng's location.

Upon arriving at the valley not far from the iron ore mine, the sight of four torn corpses drove Zhao Xuri to a frenzy.

"Lord Zhao, please accept our condolences. It seems that Young Master Zhao Cheng has encountered a level seven demonic beast."

Yang Wei, who had come along, also offered words of comfort.

"Huh, but there seems to be some lingering aura of an array around here?"

Yang Wei continued to observe for another week and noticed something was amiss.

Of course, these words also reminded Zhao Xuri that after collecting the bodies of his son and the three Yuan Dan Realm martial artists, he also set off in the direction where the level seven demon beast had left.

Yang Wei, after all, needed Zhao Xuri's help and wanted to form an alliance with him, so he chose to accompany him. If he could kill the level seven demon beast, he thought he could gain some goodwill.

"But who exactly set up this formation?"

Yang Wei was also somewhat puzzled. Although he guessed that Zhao Cheng was chasing after his daughter and other disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, he knew the strength of Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu. He knew that they would not be able to kill Zhao Cheng.
