A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Lin He led Yuan Yi and Lan Chou out and soon encountered many acquaintances. Senior Sister Chen and Dong Xuan'er were very surprised to see Yuan Yi and quickly asked him questions.

"This is my spirit beast, Ape One. Ape One, say hello to Senior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Dong."

Ape One had good comprehension; he had mastered the Ape Transformation Technique in just one night. Now, he had transformed into the size of an ordinary adult and was bowing and clasping his hands in greeting to Senior Sister Chen and Dong Xuan'er, looking just like a cultivator.

"What an intelligent ape! It's so human-like and seems to have a high level of intelligence."

"Hehe, it even knows a little magic. It's quite interesting. Ape One, turn into a little monkey."

Ape One immediately complied, transforming into a yellowish-brown ape the size of a child. Dong Xuan'er and Senior Sister Chen were immediately overcome with maternal instincts and both clamored to hug Ape One. The fluffy texture made them both love it.

"Are all women obsessed with Fu Rui?"

Lin He shook his head, gave a shout, and Yuan Yi immediately transformed into an adult size and followed behind him. He said loudly,

"The Core Formation cultivators from the seven sects have all gathered. I'm going to attend the meeting, and I'll take Yuan Yi with me to see what it's like. This will also be an opportunity for it to train."

When the matter was mentioned, both Senior Sister Chen and Dong Xuan'er looked incredulous. When the news came, they could hardly believe that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would attend a meeting where Core Formation cultivators gathered, and that he would be the main character of the meeting.

Chen Qiaoshan, Liu Jing, and the others standing to the side were even more shocked, finding it hard to believe, but the facts were right in front of them, and they had no choice but to believe it.

"Junior Brother Lin is truly a role model for us. He has achieved such a level in just eight short years since he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It is truly admirable."

Liu Jing and the others admitted their inferiority. Lin He exchanged a few polite words and then said, "The six sects of the Demonic Path feel sorry for their disciples. I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators in the future."

Upon hearing this, both Senior Sister Chen and Dong Xuan'er looked worried, which meant that Lin He could only participate in the battles between Core Formation stage cultivators.

While Liu Jing and the others were worried, they were also somewhat disappointed, as it meant they could no longer rely on Lin He's strength as before.

Seemingly noticing their disappointment, Lin He smiled and said, "Senior brothers, there's no need to be disappointed. Although I can't participate, Yuan Yi can. He only needs to disguise himself as Senior Sister Chen's spirit beast to enter Jin Gu Yuan. It's a level four spirit beast, and its strength is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing and the others were overjoyed. They knew how powerful a level four spirit beast was, as it was equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. With Lin He's abilities, this spirit beast was probably even more powerful than an ordinary level four spirit beast.

In the battles between Core Formation stage cultivators, Ape One is unlikely to be of much help at the moment. It would be better to send it to the Golden Drum Plain battlefield for some training. Although it has learned language, it still lacks communication skills and needs to talk, learn, and do more. Being with these fellow disciples will also allow it to learn a lot.

"The most important thing is to protect Dong Xuan'er and Senior Sister Chen."

Needless to say, Dong Xuan'er has been targeted by the Hehuan Sect. Lin He can no longer participate in the battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he can no longer protect Dong Xuan'er, but Yuan Yi can.

As for Senior Sister Chen, her relationship with Lin He is easy to find out with a little inquiry. Lin He killed so many demonic disciples, it's inevitable that some people will come seeking revenge. Lin He is not afraid, but those around him might be affected. For these reasons, Lin He decided to involve Yuan Yi, which is also to help Hong Fu and show her goodwill.

Having thought of so much in an instant, Lin He greeted everyone and then led Yuan Yi and Lan Chou to the meeting place.

This is a grand hall, hastily built and not particularly luxurious, but in terms of the strength of its restrictions, it is the strongest place in the Seven Sects' camp. After all, this is where the high-ranking members of the Seven Sects hold meetings, so it is naturally heavily guarded.

When Lin He arrived at the main hall, he immediately sensed that he was being thoroughly examined by a powerful divine sense. Lin He sensed that this person was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, who seemed to be trying to intimidate him. However, Lin He was not affected at all, as he was already used to the pressure of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Seeing that the other party was relentless, Lin He snorted coldly, urged his divine sense, and Lan Chou beside him stepped forward. His body was flashing with golden light, and with a single ripple of golden sword energy, that wisp of divine consciousness was annihilated.

At this moment, the barrier opened, and a familiar voice came, "Junior Nephew Lin, please come in."

Lin He then walked in. The person who had spoken earlier was a charming and beautiful woman, none other than the Fairy of Rainbow Garments whom he had met once at Yan Family Fort.

Standing beside the Fairy of Rainbow Robes was Nangong Wan, who was currently looking aloof, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs. She only nodded politely to Lin He.

But when he thought about the other party's passionate performance last night, the contrast was simply too wonderful. Lin He dared not think about it anymore and casually extinguished these thoughts before looking at the others.

Hong Fu and Li Huayuan of Huangfeng Valley need no introduction, but Fu Yunzi of Qingxu Sect, Tianque Fortress, Huadaowu, Lingshou Mountain, and Giant Sword Sect are all the same people we met during the forbidden area trial.

These people also had some impression of Lin He. After all, cultivators have photographic memories, and they were equally shocked to see Lin He now.

Although he had heard of Lin He's name before, he was surprised to find out that he was the same Qi Refining cultivator who had participated in the forbidden area trial.

Eight years ago, Lin He was just a junior at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. Eight years later, Lin He was actually sitting with them, a group of Core Formation cultivators, to discuss matters.

Such an absurd situation was hard for even these Core Formation stage cultivators to believe.

Since Fairy Ni Chang had already witnessed Lin He's methods at Yan Family Fortress, her surprise wasn't as intense.

She smiled and took the lead in greeting everyone, and the other Core Formation cultivators followed suit. Lin He, of course, would not be impolite and returned the greeting to all the Core Formation cultivators as well. However, when it came to the burly man surnamed Yan from the Giant Sword Sect, Lin He only gave a perfunctory bow and was not very respectful.

The reason is simple: this person had previously used his divine sense to probe recklessly, and Lin He had extinguished that wisp of divine sense in a swift and decisive move.

Back during the forbidden area trial, it was this burly man surnamed Yan from the Giant Sword Sect who mocked Li Huayuan, implying that the disciples of Huangfeng Valley were cowardly and afraid of death, even though cultivators at the eleventh level of Qi Refining like Han Li, Lin He, and Xiang Zhili could walk out of the forbidden area alive.

"It seems the relationship between the Giant Sword Sect and Yellow Maple Valley isn't very good either," Lin He thought to himself.

Seeing Lin He's rudeness, which caused the burly man surnamed Yan to lose face, the man's face immediately turned fierce. The sheathless giant sword on his back trembled, and a terrifying sword aura was about to be unleashed, revealing his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation.

As a conflict seemed imminent, strangely, no one intervened; instead, they watched with wide eyes.

Lin He showed no intention of backing down. Lan Chou stepped forward, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy from the early stage of Core Formation, and a conflict was imminent!
