Another whole year passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Zi still rarely spoke. From time to time, he would go to the mountains to pick spiritual fruits and hunt unqualified spirit-eating beasts.
For more than a year, his relationship with Mu Xue has become very close, and he has protected Mu Xue in every possible way.
"Dad, Mom. Brother Lin actually caught two spirit-eating beasts today. One was sold to a restaurant in the city and earned 400 spirit jade. The other one said we would eat it ourselves."
Mu Xue, who is six years old, is still naughty and cute. She takes the little leopard, which is bigger than a three-eyed wolf, to play on the street every day.
Lin Zi goes into the mountains almost every four or five days to hunt spiritual beasts and pick spiritual fruits. Then go to the town or restaurants in Zhenwu City to sell them, and you can earn anywhere from a few to more than ten pieces of spiritual jade every time.
Although he always returns with a full load of spiritual fruits, the spirit-eating beast runs too fast and is difficult to hunt.
When he wasn't in the mountains, Lin Zi would either play with Mu Xue or practice some of the boxing and kicking skills Mu Rong taught him.
"Senior brother, when will this mission assigned by the sect end? I heard that the Chu Yun Dynasty is forcing the sect very hard."
"Junior sister, have you noticed that in the past two years, Linzi has been going into the mountain every four or five days?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Aren't there people in the forest who want to pick spiritual fruits and hunt spiritual beasts to sell?"
"On our Zhenwu side, those blood-drained monsters have only appeared in the past few years, and they appear every four or five days."
"You mean, Lin Zi~~~~? How is this possible? Everyone knows that Lin Zi can't practice at all!" Yang Rui said in shock.
"The sect has jointly investigated with the Chu Yun Dynasty. They suspect that the blood depletion of those monster beasts is related to the previous case on Chu Yun's side, and it is probably related to the evil sect's magic power."
"Anyway, this kid Lin Zi has never harmed anyone. If one day the sect really finds out about him, I will let him fly away."
…
"Xue'er, you are already seven years old. You have entered the sect today and become a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect. You must practice hard and not be playful."
"I understand, mother. I will definitely practice hard. Xiao Bao, you should also listen to Brother Lin's words. When you have time, come to the sect to visit me with Brother Lin."
Mu Xue said while stroking the silver-spotted double-winged leopard that was already as high as her shoulders. The double-winged leopard gently rubbed its head against Mu Xue's shoulder as a response.
Although the little leopard can't fly yet, its pair of fleshy wings have grown to nearly three feet long. The silver spots all over his body are getting brighter and more beautiful.
"This kid Linzi ran out so early in the morning, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Brother Lin said that I will become a monk if I enter the sect to practice. He is going to buy a gift for me."
Just as he was talking, Lin Zi came into the house panting: "Swords, all girls like them."
Lin Zi took out a female sword that was more than two feet long, with a green jade handle and a scabbard engraved with floating clouds, and handed it to Mu Xue.
"Ah, the Xiuyun Sword? Xiaolu and Xiang'er have been showing off the Xiuyun Sword in front of me every day for the past two days." Mu Xue happily took the sword.
"Xiuyun Sword? You kid, why did you buy such an expensive thing? It's nearly three thousand spirit jade. You probably only made this much from selling spirit beasts in the past two years, right?"
Although Yang Rui blamed Lin Zi, her heart was filled with relief and joy.

The years flew by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, another six or seven years had passed.
The only change in Lin Zi is that he no longer speaks word by word, but can now speak in complete sentences.
"Mu Xue, your brother Lin is here to give you spiritual fruit again."
When several of Mu Xue's junior sisters saw Lin Zi and Double-winged Leopard appearing at the side of the Zhenwu Sect's martial arts performance, they started laughing and making a fuss.
Mu Xue is thirteen years old and has become a slim girl. She is dressed in white and looks elegant. Moreover, his cultivation level has also reached a small level of Qi refining.
Lin Zi, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, is over six feet tall, but is still thin and pale, with scars on his face.
"Dad Mu said that you have generated soul power, so I bought you this soul-building pill."
Lin Zi said and took out a pill bottle. In the bottle is a first-grade soul-building pill, which helps monks who have just generated soul power consolidate the formation and growth of their sea of consciousness and soul.
But it can only be taken when the soul power is first generated, and one person can only take it once.
"The soul-building pill is worth nearly 20,000 spiritual jade! Brother Lin, it's so dangerous for you to hunt spiritual beasts. Don't buy me such expensive things again." Mu Xue looked at Lin Zi distressedly.
"Is practicing hard?"
"It's not hard. It's just that Pinyun who keeps harassing me. It's so annoying."
After Mu Xue finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Lin Zi: "Brother Lin, I'm just telling you, don't fight with him again. He is about to enter the realm of Qi refining, and you will suffer."
"Xue'er, Little Leopard can fly. Do you want to sit on it and give it a try?"
"Yeah! Really? That's great. It's a pity that it can't be done now. When I get home next month, I will let Xiaobao take me flying."
…
"Hey, isn't that the skinny guy from the Mu family?"
On a road not far from Pinyun's house, Lin Zi and Xiaobao stood in the middle of the road, waiting for Pinyun.
"Hey, I'm talking about thin man. Look at you, you are so thin and pale. Will the Mu family not give you food to eat? If not, come to my house and be my attendant, and let your two-winged leopards be my mounts. I I will definitely make you eat fat and in vain."
A young man next to Pinyun said with an evil smile, and all the young men also started laughing.
"superior."
Lin Zi ignored the young man who spoke, but looked at Xiaobao and pointed at the three-eyed wolf at Pinyun's feet.
Before anyone could react, the little leopard flew over and grabbed the three-eyed wolf by the neck.
"Three eyes!" Pinyun shouted: "Shou Ma Gan, what do you want to do? Let go of the three eyes."
"If you bully Xue'er again, the little leopard will eat your three eyes."
After Lin Zi finished speaking, he looked at Pin Yun coldly, then turned and left. Xiao Bao also put down the three-eyed wolf in his mouth and followed Lin Zi.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another three years have passed. This year, Mu Xue was already sixteen years old, and Lin Zi was already over twenty.
It was also in this year that because of "Yue Tianxia", the entire Nanjiang Continent knew that in the Mingque Dynasty of the Xia Mo Dynasty, there was a long-lived underworld general who was famous for devouring true energy and devouring souls. Devil.
In the Zhenwu Mountains, a forest man was wrapped in animal skins, with a spirit-eating beast and a cloth bag full of spirit fruits hanging on his waist, and he was heading down the mountain while galloping.
Arriving at a jungle at the foot of the mountain, Lin Zi looked around and saw no one, so he took out a white shirt and put it on.
Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly turned red and the blood in his body began to boil.
Lin Zi suddenly felt a burning pain all over his body and couldn't help but squat down.
Since the body began to swallow the monster's blood three months ago, such a backlash would occur every once in a while.
Every time such backlash pain takes more than ten breaths to slowly subside.
Recently, the frequency of this backlash has become faster and faster, and the number of times has increased.
"Hey, there's someone over there."
"What's wrong with him?"
Not far away, five mercenaries coming down from the mountain saw Linzi. They looked at each other with evil smiles and walked over.
"Let's agree first that the good things this time will be mine." A thin-faced young man came to Lin Zi first.
The boiling of his blood gradually slowed down, but the redness in his eyes remained. Lin Zi stood up slowly with sweat all over his body.
"Huh? No cultivation?" The five mercenaries looked at him strangely.
"Tch, there's not even a storage bag."
"A single spirit-eating beast can be sold for hundreds of spiritual jade. Put down the spirit-eating beast and the bag and get out."
Lin Zi's eyes were still red, but he deliberately lowered his head to prevent others from seeing him, and then went to untie the cloth bag around his waist.
The blood in his body began to boil again at this moment, and the sudden burning pain made Lin Zi squat on the ground again.
Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong...
Blah blah blah, blah blah...
The heartbeats of the five people in front of him and the sound of their blood flowing in their blood vessels rang in Lin Zi's ears as if they were amplified countless times.
An urge to tear their bodies apart and drain their blood instantly filled Lin Zi's mind.
"Quick, go away." Lin Zi shouted with difficulty to the five people.
"what's the situation?"
The five people also noticed something was wrong with Lin Zi, and one of them quickly flew back.
"Damn it, a mortal dares to let us go away." The thin-faced young man drew out the sword from his waist and stabbed Lin Zi.
At this time, Lin Zi suddenly stood up, raised his arms back, looked up at the sky, and let out a low roar from his throat. The young man holding the sword was stunned for a moment.
At this time, several drops of blood flew out of Lin Zi's heart and splashed on the four people in front of him.
As soon as the blood touched the four people's bodies, it began to spread rapidly, and finally wrapped them up like a blood bubble.
Immediately afterwards, the blood all over the body of the wrapped person broke through the blood vessels, penetrated the pores and attached to the blood bubbles.
The person wrapped in blood bubbles also turned pale in an instant and shrank to the point where he looked like a mummy, no longer alive.
After all the blood in the wrapped person's body was swallowed up, the blood bubble quickly gathered around him, and finally turned into a drop of blood about the size of a walnut, flew back to Lin Zi's heart, and entered his body.
The blood flew out from Lin Zi's heart, and finally the blood flew back to Lin Zi's heart. The whole process only took a few breaths.
A person who had already flown away witnessed this horrific scene from a distance, and quickly ran towards Zhenwu Sect in panic.
When more than a dozen drops of blood the size of walnuts returned to Lin Zi's body, Lin Zi felt extremely comfortable for the first time, and his red eyes returned to normal.
And his face, which had been pale for twenty years, became extremely rosy. Even that thin figure has become a lot plumper.
This was the first time that Linzi swallowed human blood, and he did it unconsciously.
Lin Zi finally knew that the hunger, thirst and blood lust over the years were not because of monsters, but because of humans. He was a little scared and ran towards Zhenwuzong's home without thinking much.
