The Clean Spirit Yin God Training Body Skill has reached fulfillment. It increased my spiritual power intensity by one thousand points; I'm indeed the creator of this Forging Secret Technique.

Wang Linchi felt his changing spiritual power. A typical Black Iron Level Forging Secret Technique could only increase spiritual power intensity by 100 points at most. Yes, that's one-tenth of normal spiritual power. For Wang Linchi, his one-tenth naturally meant 1,000 points. The spiritual power in his Golden Core was considered independent. Although it also benefited from the increase in spiritual power intensity, it couldn't be counted towards his spiritual power upper limit.

Add to that the 200% intensification I inherently possess, and in total, I now have a spiritual power intensity of 3,000 points. Powerful enough!

This time, he could truly crush an Elite Gold Level being to death solely with his spiritual power. However, when it came to the Morning Star Level, he still lacked much confidence. From the 'Hundred Beasts Soul Forging Method' he had obtained, he knew that Morning Star Level beings were no longer human. They could be wounded or even confined for a period through strategies like sieges. However, only those at the Morning Star Level could hope to kill such beings. If an Awakener below Morning Star Level attempted to harm a Morning Star Level being, any advantage would be temporary. It was likely that after undergoing a personal metamorphosis, they developed some form of powerful immunity or defense capability.

It's strange. My spiritual power is clearly strong enough, possessing both quality and quantity. Why can't it be directly projected outward to form abilities like a psychic scan or Telekinesis? Instead, it can only be released indirectly through the Soul Seed Page·Fanciful and Fickle and the Thought Field.

Wang Linchi discovered a significant problem: something he should clearly be able to do, he couldn't.

The restrictions of the Ninth-Rank Law? Wang Linchi frowned. Fortunately, my Thought Field can serve as a substitute and is even more precise than spiritual power. He wished to remove this restriction, but regrettably, he lacked the ability.

Next is the first revolution of the Golden Core.

After investing substantial resources and utilizing various auxiliary Soul Devices for cultivation, he had mastered the Forging Secret Technique in just a month. Now, it was time to enhance his spiritual power. At the Black Iron Level, before undergoing re-cultivation, the difficulty of cultivation was normal. Once the re-cultivation phase began, the difficulty of each subsequent re-cultivation would drop significantly.

He retrieved cultivation items from the Soul Seed Page·Storage Space and was about to consume them when he sensed a commotion. His substitute, the Saint Master, was fighting something. Through their visual link, he quickly saw it appeared to be battling a Beast King Species.

The Saint Master is actually at a disadvantage? Wang Linchi promptly rose to investigate. Under normal circumstances, a Beast King Species capable of suppressing the Saint Master's physique had to be exceptionally powerful. That particular Beast King Species looked quite strange, resembling a stitched-together monstrosity.

But it seems injured? Wang Linchi was somewhat puzzled. This Beast King Species was definitely powerful. If it weren't injured, it wouldn't merely put the Saint Master at a disadvantage; it would have killed him effortlessly. Of course, this wasn't The Most Ancient Beast.

It's a pity; there's no way to identify this thing. There were definitely no records of it; this Beast King Species seemed like a new breed. The beasts in the Beast Garden Secret Realm lacked reproductive isolation due to the Beast God's power. Thus, two different Beast King Species could give birth to an entirely new Beast King Species. As for aesthetics, however, that was another matter entirely. And this Beast King Species before him could very well be such a new breed. Otherwise, even if Wang Linchi, who had read extensively during his long stay in Crouching Tiger City, couldn't identify it directly, he could still have found clues by comparing it with records using the Thought Mirror.

Let's capture it first, Wang Linchi decided. Since this creature had practically delivered itself to his doorstep, it would make excellent raw material for the Beast Armour Technique. A pet? He didn't need one. Raising it would be too troublesome, and Beast King Species were naturally arrogant and unlikely to submit. Of course, if one could easily crush its will, that would be a different story.

I also need to control the power of Fanciful and Fickle, or I might accidentally kill it. Wang Linchi's current spiritual power intensity was about thirty times stronger than it had been a month ago. Previously, his spiritual power intensity was at most 100 points. Now, after the Soul Kind's boost, it was a full 3,000 points.

He invested a bit of spiritual power, carefully controlled its output, and directed the attack at the Beast King Species. The creature, already injured to the point where it couldn't even manifest its Domain, had then fought a protracted battle with the Saint Master, and was now sneak-attacked by Wang Linchi. In this condition, it froze instantly. The Saint Master swept out a palm, striking the Beast King Species and severely wounding it. Wang Linchi struck while the iron was hot, injecting another ten points of spiritual power via Fanciful and Fickle, plunging the Beast King Species into a myriad of debilitating negative states from which it couldn't escape. It certainly wouldn't die, but it would be incapacitated for some time.

Seeing this, the Saint Master unhesitatingly picked it up and carried it back. The entire confrontation, from start to finish, had taken no more than two minutes to subdue this Beast King Species.

Heh, this creature and I are truly fated, Wang Linchi couldn't help but muse. If not, how else would it have delivered itself to my doorstep?

Capturing an uninjured Beast King Species would likely have been beyond the Saint Master's capabilities. The Saint Master possessed a strong physique, but that was its only major asset; it couldn't fully utilize the immense spiritual power and strength Wang Linchi had bestowed upon it. Consequently, it had significant limitations. In terms of current overall combat capability, Wang Linchi naturally far surpassed the Saint Master. However, battles weren't decided in an instant. Wang Linchi's current physique still couldn't keep pace with his spiritual power.

"We found it. This Beast King Species was injured by us. Please return it," a voice called out.

Wang Linchi glanced over. There were three Awakeners: one at Secret Silver Level, and the other two at Mountain Copper Level. All three had extraordinary backgrounds; they were young and clearly disciples of a major Great Family. They must have entered the Secret Realm recently, as he himself had been there for a month, during which people would naturally come and go. As for how they had managed to wound the Beast King Species despite their cultivation levels, they either possessed the ability to fight above their rank or had some trump cards.

"That's not happening. I caught it," Wang Linchi immediately refused.

"I know, but if we hadn't injured it severely first..." the leading disciple from the Great Family began to explain.

"Incorrect. Not severely injured. If it were severely injured, it wouldn't have been able to flee. Therefore, you merely wounded it. If I hadn't intercepted this Beast King Species, it would have long escaped," Wang Linchi corrected him.

This stunned them; they hadn't expected Wang Linchi to say such a thing.

"What price would you ask, Sir, to part with this Beast King Species?" The disciple knew that mere words wouldn't get it back. The other two remained silent, showing no intention of killing Wang Linchi, ostensibly a Black Iron Level Awakener, to seize it.

Just as Wang Linchi had pointed out, they had only managed to wound the Beast King Species; its formidable strength was still evident. The three of them combined hadn't been able to capture it, yet a Black Iron Level individual had? This person is probably disguising his true level, they thought. Otherwise, how could he have captured this Beast King Species so effortlessly?

"You should tell me what you're offering, not ask what I want. How would I know what you possess?" Wang Linchi retorted. Let him make an offer. What if I ask for too little and end up at a loss? I need to see what they have that I might need before naming a price.

"Ah... a fair point." The disciple then listed a series of items and said, "You may choose any three of these as an exchange, Sir."

Tsk, nothing I particularly want, Wang Linchi thought, shaking his head. He didn't know the exact market value of this Beast King Species, but the items offered didn't appeal to him.

The disciple's heart sank. Is he unwilling to trade and deliberately making things difficult for me? The items he had offered were quite sincere. While their total value might not match the Beast King Species in Wang Linchi's possession, monetizing a Beast King Species wasn't simple. It required dealing with various Lifestyle Awakeners. Furthermore, if one wasn't from a Great Family but was instead a Court Awakener, they would have to pay a hefty crafting tax to the Court when commissioning a Lifestyle Awakener to create a Soul Device. All things considered, the net profit might not even match the value of the items he was currently offering.

"Do you have anything else? You need to offer something that actually catches my eye," Wang Linchi said, sensing the disciple's thoughts.

"I do have a piece of information," the disciple continued. "However, if you hear it, Sir, then you must give us the Beast King Species. And we three will not contend with you for any benefits derived from this information."

"First, I don't know if the information is true. Second, I don't know its value. And third, I don't know if anyone else besides your group is privy to it. Trying to trade a Beast King Species for such 'triple-negative' information—unverified, unvalued, and unexclusive? That doesn't seem right," Wang Linchi refused without hesitation. Who knows what this supposed information even is?

"I can swear an oath that this information will be worth more than the Beast King Species to you," the disciple immediately promised.

As for why they'd offer it, it must be because they can't obtain the benefit themselves, and it's not worth the trouble of calling their family members for help.
