Lin Jingge stood still, took out the insect repellent powder she had obtained from Old Li, uncorked the bottle, and sprinkled it around.
With a slight tremor in his hand, the powder fell from the bottle opening.
Then I saw the bushes in front of me swaying slightly.
In the tranquil forest, the slight swaying sound amplified infinitely, drawing Lin Jingge's gaze.
Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from within.
Lin Jingge, who had been keeping an eye on that spot, immediately dodged to the side when she saw the dark figure rushing towards her.
The dark figure missed its target, landed on the ground, turned around, and faced Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge then saw the shadowy figure clearly; it was a wolf, baring its teeth, its sharp canines gleaming coldly.
Breathing with each rise and fall of the body.
The commotion was quite loud, and seeing this, Granny Lin immediately stood up, wanting to come and help.
After turning around, the wolf immediately charged again.
Startled, Xiao Shi leaped from the ground onto Lin Jingge's head.
Although it is just a set of data, it is still afraid of this vicious wolf.
[Like the Swift Wind Wolf described in the Heavenly Book!] Xiao Shi had almost memorized the Heavenly Book once, and after clearly seeing the characteristics of the wolf, he named the species that best matched it.
"Ahhh, it's coming again! Gege, hide quickly!" Xiao Shi shouted.
Naturally, without needing any prompting, Lin Jingge's body had already made a subconscious movement.
The wolf was only a first-tier creature; no matter how fast it was, it couldn't beat Lin Jingge.
[GeGe, attack its belly quickly! The Gale Wolf is only a little fast, its defense is very weak!] XiaoShi reminded.
If Lin Jingge had learned an offensive technique, it would be easier to fight her, but the only technique she knew was the Wood Spirit Technique, which aided in the growth of plants.
Having dodged another attack from the Gale Wolf, Lin Jingge leaped directly onto a tree.
The Gale Wolf, enraged by the repeated attacks it received, let out a series of "ho ho ho..." sounds as its belly rose and fell.
Grandma Lin rushed forward, a faint green light gathering in her hand.
As soon as the light appeared, the surrounding plants all grew a little, trembling slightly as if excited.
The green light cluster grew larger as Grandma Lin gestured.
The Swift Wolf had already caught up with the tree, but when it noticed the commotion on Granny Lin's side, the green ball of light flew rapidly toward it.
The ball of light struck the Gale Wolf, knocking it directly from the tree.
At this moment, Lin Jingge had already activated her spiritual power and ran to Grandma Lin's side.
She glanced at Granny Lin's gestures, then at the Gale Wolf that had been knocked to the ground and was unable to move, and felt that learning the martial arts technique was of utmost urgency.
He picked out a knife from the space, killed the Gale Wolf with one stroke, dug out its spirit core from its head, and then found a beast core inside the Gale Wolf's heart.
Lin Shu, carrying a water bag, rushed forward with her short legs: "Sister, reach out your hands, wash your hands."
Just as Lin Jingge was about to put the knife away, she heard Lin Shu's voice, and a smile appeared on her lips as she stretched out her blood-covered hand.
After washing their hands, they stored the corpse of the Gale Wolf in their spatial storage, and the three of them immediately packed their bags and left the place.
Having found a new foothold, Lin Jin held the spirit core high in her hand and looked up at it.
The light from the crescent moon, obscured by the spirit core, shone through the transparent spirit core and fell on Lin Jingge's face.
"You're quite lucky; you even managed to extract a spirit core from a first-tier demon beast." Granny Lin was also pleased to see the smile on Lin Jingge's face.
She tossed a jade pendant toward Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge quickly put down the spirit core in her hand and reached out to take it.
"This is……?"
"This is one of the few inheritances of our Lin family. Now that you have reached the level of a Spirit Master, it is time to give it to you." Granny Lin said with some emotion.
The once magnificent building collapsed in an instant, leaving behind less than one percent of its original value.
"I originally wanted to choose an auspicious day to pass it on to you, but now I think I was being too rigid. The Lin family is gone, so why should I still abide by those clan rules?"
Hearing the old woman's words, Lin Jingge felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She took a few steps forward, put her arm around the old woman, and rested her head on the old woman's shoulder: "Grandma..."
"It's alright, it's all over now." Grandma Lin patted Lin Jingge's hand.
This time, Lin Jingge was cautious enough. She had Xiao Shi check the surroundings beforehand and then sprinkled insect repellent powder on the area.
No monsters visited that night.
The next day, as dawn broke, the group set off.
It took three whole days to finally catch a glimpse of the town.
Along the way, Lin Jingge practiced some of the Lin family's cultivation techniques while killing low-level demonic beasts, which increased the storage space considerably.
Only three spirit cores were mined in total.
The chance of obtaining a spirit core is too low, but a spirit core is a good thing, unlike a beast core, which requires an alchemist to refine it into a pill before it can be consumed.
Lin Jingge carried Lin Shu into the town.
After several days of fighting in the forest, Lin Jingge's entire demeanor had changed. She could feel that the spiritual energy within her body had become more concentrated.
Lin Shu nestled in Lin Jingge's arms. After entering the city, she seemed to be attracted by the hustle and bustle around her. She sat up, wrapped her arms around Lin Jingge's neck, and peeked her head out from Lin Jingge's shoulder, looking around.
"Grandma, let me sell the monster first, then we'll find a place to stay," Lin Jingge said to Grandma Lin as she spoke, her gaze darting around from time to time.
The town was crowded and noisy with all sorts of sounds mixed together. There was a fight not far away, and people who were afraid of being caught in the crossfire kept their distance. However, there were also people who loved to watch the excitement and were not afraid because of their high level. They stood around and watched.
Many people set up stalls on both sides of the town's roads.
A tattered cloth hung down, with all sorts of random objects on it.
After passing this section of the road, it becomes quieter, with wooden houses built all around and many signs hanging on them.
Each of these shops has a high-ranking spiritual master in charge, and anyone with a modicum of sense would avoid provoking them.
After all, these people are not just Grand Spirit Masters; they also have many powerful families from the imperial city standing behind them.
They came to this Starry Forest to open shops in order to buy monsters at low prices.
Monsters are treasures from head to toe. Their flesh and blood can replenish physical strength and spiritual power, their beast cores can be used to refine pills, and the spiritual energy in their spirit cores is purer than that in spirit stones. In particular, spirit cores with attributes are extremely rare and hard to come by.
Unfortunately, all three spirit cores Lin Jingge obtained were white and had no attributes.
Just as Lin Jingge was looking for a shop to sell her things, a voice came from behind her: "Stop!"
Before Lin Jingge could turn around, the person descended from the sky and landed in front of her.
The newcomer was a woman dressed in a cool red dress, with a pair of bells hanging at her waist, and her hair styled in two buns, both decorated with small gold bells.
The woman wasn't very tall and had a petite, loli-like appearance. If it weren't for her extremely harsh voice, she would have been quite cute.
