【Beast Name: Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey (Spirit Beast)】

It possesses extremely high intelligence, is quite understanding of human nature, strong and agile, capable of tearing tigers and leopards apart.

Due to a fortuitous encounter, this beast swallowed a blood dragon fruit and successfully refined it, strengthening its muscles, bones, and mind, gaining a chance to break free from its limitations. However, it was also affected by the blood dragon fruit, leading to a drastic change in temperament, becoming violent, tyrannical, and fond of killing.】

"Huu..."
Looking at the information about the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey in his mind, Lin Sheng finally let out a heavy breath after a long while.
For no other reason than the attributes of this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey completely exceeded his expectations.
Not only did it provide a full 18 points of possession attribute increase, but it also included a Spirit attribute that had never appeared before.
Among the many exotic beasts he had possessed, this was the first time he had personally seen one that could bring an increase in Spirit attribute.
Although it was only one point, it was definitely precious. Of course, these weren't the most important things. What surprised him the most was that this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey actually possessed two talents, which was also something he was seeing for the first time.
He had personally experienced the effects of talents. Whether it was the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile's Earth Affinity or the Blood Demon Centipede's rapid healing effect, both were extremely powerful.
Each talent brought him a significant increase in power.
And this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey actually had two, how could that not shake his heart?
Only after a while did he suppress the restless emotions in his heart.
His gaze fell upon the information about the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.
"What is this blood dragon fruit?"
From the information provided, it wasn't difficult to see that the reason for this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's temperament becoming so violent, bloodthirsty, and frenzied was due to this so-called blood dragon fruit.
Although he hadn't collected much information about the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey before, he knew that while the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey had a mischievous personality, it was far from as abnormal as the one in front of him.
Originally, he had some doubts, but now seeing the information provided, he understood the reason.
Thinking about it now, the blood-colored strands mixed in the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's fur were likely also an effect of the blood dragon fruit.
The power of Spirit Beasts is beyond doubt, especially primate exotic beasts like the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, which are known for their intelligence. What exactly is this blood dragon fruit? How could it influence and change the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey to such an extent?
From its effects, it's clear that this blood dragon fruit isn't something good. However, this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's formidable strength and the description in its information that it has a chance to break free from its limitations are also benefits from this blood dragon fruit.
Exotic beasts, like humans, have their Innate bone structure and talent determined from birth. It's even more brutal than for humans. The race and type you are born into basically determine your upper limit. Breaking through one's Bloodline limit is much, much harder than for humans.
And this blood dragon fruit can actually give this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey the effect of breaking through its Bloodline limit. It absolutely deserves to be called miraculous.
He made up his mind to inquire about and collect information regarding the blood dragon fruit in his spare time.
However, for now, he didn't delve deeper. With a thought, he prepared to possess this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.
But soon, he stopped his actions.
Firstly, this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey was quite weak at the moment, not knowing how long it had been imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall. Although its temper was still extremely violent, its Physique was thin.
He was truly worried that if he possessed it and absorbed too much blood, he might accidentally suck this Three-Eyied Spirit Monkey to death, which would be counterproductive.
The reason he chose to buy this living Spirit Beast was so that after possessing it, he could still use it as his own experimental subject.
After all, he had obtained the Blood Beast Spirit Imbueing Method from Gongsun Shou. Although he had acquired it some time ago, he had never experimented with it.
This Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey could serve as a very good experimental subject.
Secondly, he hadn't met the possession requirement for this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey yet.
A Perception requirement of 6 could not be considered low.
So far, the highest Perception attribute he had seen was only four points from the Snow Silver Moth and adult Caiyu Worm.
Which was still not enough to meet the requirement for possessing the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.
However, stacking his Perception attribute to 5 points was not a difficult task for him now.
Currently, he had an adult Caiyu Worm, which could provide four points of Perception attribute, and he himself had two points of Perception attribute without possessing any exotic beast.
Although attribute stacking wasn't a simple 1+1 calculation, adding Big Yellow's three points of Perception attribute, his Perception attribute visually reached 8 points.
Converted, it should be enough to meet the 5-point Perception requirement on the panel.
Therefore, before possessing this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, he had to first possess that Caiyu Worm.
Now that the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey was in his hands, there was no rush.
Having thought this, he threw the listless Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey into the iron box and locked it up again.
Time flew by, and a few days passed.
Wanhua City.
Seven Star Tower.
"Junior Brother Lin, although you haven't been here long, your progress in cultivating the Qingniao Chasing Star Finger is not bad. Compared to those with low Bloodline evaluations, you are not slow at all, even a bit faster. Your comprehension is indeed outstanding and quite good, only slightly less than mine, your Senior Brother."
Two men dressed in green robes stepped out from the tall building behind them.
One of them was just over 1.7 meters tall, with a thin figure. The wide green robe covering him seemed a bit ill-fitting. At this moment, he was smiling and talking to the tall figure beside him, shaking his head.
This person was named Zhao Kongfang. He was the second direct Disciple of the Qingniao Yard's Head in the Seven Forms Sect, and also the Second Senior Brother among all Seven Forms Sect Disciples, besides the Eldest Senior Sister Wei Yun.
As for the tall figure beside him, it was naturally Lin Sheng.
A few days ago, when he went to the Seven Forms Sect to greet Xie Qingyun and incidentally ask some questions about cultivating the Qingniao Chasing Star Finger, this Second Senior Brother Zhao Kongfang happened to be there as well.
The two had met before but hadn't interacted much. Because Xie Qingyun had urgent matters to attend to and couldn't stay long, after briefly clarifying a few cultivation questions for Lin Sheng, she asked Zhao Kongfang, who was nearby, to answer for him.
After interacting for a while, Zhao Kongfang felt a sense of meeting an old friend with the quiet and calm Lin Sheng. So, these past few days, he would look for Lin Sheng to spar or hang out when he had nothing to do. They got along quite well.
And Lin Sheng's impression of this Second Senior Brother, who was a bit of a chatterbox and slightly narcissistic, was also quite good.
After all, the other party was quite conscientious in providing guidance, and during their conversations, he would occasionally reveal information that Lin Sheng had never heard before, giving Lin Sheng a sense of having his eyes opened. He didn't reject associating with such a straightforward person who didn't have many schemes.
At the same time, since he had already joined a force, it was natural to have some friends. Within the force, they could also help each other.
"Second Senior Brother, you mentioned before that the Azure Thunder Suppressing Wind Sparrow has the ability to control thunder and stabilize wind. Does this terrifying exotic beast truly exist?"
Ignoring Zhao Kongfang's words, Lin Sheng asked his own question.
"Azure Thunder Suppressing Wind Sparrow?"
Zhao Kongfang was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted. After laughing heartily, he said,
"Well, that should be real. Otherwise, the legend wouldn't have been passed down. Besides that, the other exotic beasts from ancient times that have been passed down should not be entirely groundless rumors. Of course, for now, just listen to it as a story and don't take it too seriously."
"After all, even if they existed in ancient times, they have long since become extinct and no longer exist in the world."
"These powerful exotic beasts passed down from ancient times are rumored to basically all possess the ability to destroy the heavens and earth. If they still existed now, how could they possibly be well-behaved? They would probably have already caused chaos and uproar."
"Is that so?" Hearing Zhao Kongfang's words, Lin Sheng thought for a moment and nodded slightly in agreement.
Although Zhao Kongfang was a bit eccentric and narcissistic, his knowledge base was indeed extensive, especially regarding the rumors of ancient exotic beasts circulating among the people. He knew quite a lot.
So, after mentioning it incidentally once, Lin Sheng would occasionally steer the conversation towards this topic. Although there wasn't anything substantial, he was quite interested.
These rumored ancient exotic beasts each possessed immense power, far more terrifying and formidable than demonic beasts.
It's hard to imagine how much destruction these ancient exotic beasts would cause if they truly existed in the present world.
"However, I once saw some information about the Azure Winged Bird in an ancient book. You know, our Qingniao Yard's signature cultivation method, the Qingniao Chasing Star Finger, is rumored to have its general principles created by a martial arts Senior from ancient times based on the characteristics of this exotic beast."
At this moment, Zhao Kongfang seemed to have thought of something. A look of recollection appeared on his face, and after a pause, he continued to speak.
"And in that ancient book I read back then, it was mentioned that the exotic beast Azure Winged Bird might have a trace of the Bloodline of the so-called Azure Thunder Suppressing Wind Sparrow within it. That's why the Azure Winged Bird is known for its speed. However, this was just the creator of that ancient book's guess, and even he himself wasn't sure."
"The Azure Winged Bird has a trace of the Azure Thunder Suppressing Wind Sparrow Bloodline?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng felt a little surprised. This was the first time he had heard of this.
However, the martial arts cultivation method Qingniao Chasing Star Finger was indeed not called by this name initially. Instead, it was one of several incomplete true techniques that the founding ancestor of the Seven Forms Sect integrated and mastered a thousand years ago. The specific name has long since disappeared in the river of history, and this Chasing Star Finger technique only took shape after being refined by successive Seven Forms Sect ancestors.
Most of the martial arts from the other yards in the Seven Forms Sect also originated in this manner.
As for the exotic beast Azure Winged Bird, it has also long since vanished in the river of history. It is said to have become completely extinct over a thousand years ago.
It's completely unrealistic to try and verify it now. Moreover, even if the Azure Winged Bird still existed, how could one possibly investigate it clearly?
"Azure Thunder Suppressing Wind Sparrow..."
Lin Sheng chewed on this name in his mouth. Just from the name alone, he could feel the dominance and formidable power of this exotic beast.
"I wonder what level this ancient exotic beast is?"
He thought to himself, but quickly shook his head and let out a wry smile.
Because thinking about an existence that had been extinct for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, what was the use?
"Second Senior Brother, I wonder where you saw that ancient book?"
Lin Sheng suddenly asked.
"Oh? It seems Junior Brother Lin is indeed very interested in these things."
Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Zhao Kongfang smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said heartily.
"This is right here in our Wanhua City, in the East District on Yulan Street. There's a general store there. They sell quite a variety of things, including some ancient books. Years ago, when I had nothing to do and was wandering around there, I found it a bit strange, so I went in to take a look for a while. However, Senior Brother, I haven't been there for two years, so I don't know if it's still open. After all, that old shopkeeper didn't look like he had much time left."
"Yulan Street general store." Lin Sheng silently noted down this location in his heart, making up his mind that if he had time in the future, he should definitely go there to take a look.
Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, a commotion came from the long street.
Two extremely powerful auras emanated from the street.
"Liu Tianci, last time our victory and defeat were undecided. Since we've met here this time, do you dare to have a decisive battle with me?"
A cold voice came from the street, followed quickly by a long sword emitting a faint white glow, shooting from above the long street. What was astonishing was that a man dressed in white was standing on the long sword.
The man's white robe was whiter than snow. He stood on the long sword on one foot, with his arms crossed, his face like ice as his gaze fell forward.
And following his line of sight was a tall, standing man in black.
Threads of silver were embroidered on the man's black robe, converging to form a vertical eye pattern.
On his naturally hanging arms, he wore one black and one white glove, both reaching to his elbows.
At this moment, he was looking at the white-robed man suspended in the air with a cold smile.
Behind him were several other men in black robes similar to his, the only difference being that the silver threads embroidered on their black robes were fewer.
"Ouyang Lengshui, this constable has official duties at the moment and no time for your petty squabbles. If you want to fight, wait until this constable finishes dealing with things, then I'll fulfill your wish to humiliate yourself."
"Official duties? Hmph, you want to suppress me with the Imperial Court's name? Can you!?"
Hearing the other party's words, the white-robed man narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"If you defeat me, I will personally tie up the Drilling Rat Pei Er you are tracking and send him to you."
"Arrogant! The Heavenly Phase Sword Sect is not your backing to disregard the Imperial Court."
Hearing this, Liu Tianci's face showed a hint of coldness, but soon a smile appeared.
"Since you want to bring trouble upon yourself, then this constable will fulfill your wish."
"Enough nonsense, just follow me."
Seeing that the other party accepted the challenge, the white-robed man kicked the sword hilt under his feet, already changing direction and shooting straight out of the city. The black-robed man's figure also turned into a black shadow, quickly shuttling through the crowd and shooting towards the outside of the city.
"Liu Tianci, Ouyang Lengshui?"
Watching the two extremely powerful auras quickly disappear into the distance, Lin Sheng's heart stirred.
He wasn't familiar with Ouyang Lengshui, but he had heard the name Liu Tianci many times before.
