Hearing these words, Lin Chen froze in place and glanced at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling wasn't being polite; she genuinely didn't feel any regret about giving it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked over the egg, thinking to himself that it might be the Immortal Spirit Egg the Ant Queen had mentioned.

He didn't take it right away and instead thought for a moment. He said to Bai Ling, "Why don't you tell me how you found this place first?"

Bai Ling didn't hide anything, she even mentioned Zhong Nan's guidance. She might hide things from others, but never from Lin Chen.

Upon hearing that Bai Ling came here based on Zhong Nan's guidance, Lin Chen gave up the idea of taking the egg.

If Bai Ling had stumbled upon it accidentally, Lin Chen would have considered taking it, but if Zhong Nan guided her, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Upon further inquiry, Lin Chen learned that this egg belonged to a White Python Beast, which made everything make sense.

To become a National Preceptor, having a Spirit Dragon is a standard requirement.

Bai Ling lacked this condition, and Zhong Nan obviously sent her here for this purpose.

As for Lin Chen, he wasn't at the National Master's Institute, nor did he have Dragon Fighting Skill or Dragon Transformation Skill, so having this Spirit Dragon was of no use to him.

However, Lin Chen didn't point this out and instead declined, saying to Bai Ling, "Since you found it first, it shows you are more destined for it."

Bai Ling scratched her head, recalling what the White Python had said when leaving, and finally stopped insisting.

At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the Fire Ant Beast, which immediately became nervous, chattering anxiously.

It essentially meant that although Lin Chen didn't get the Immortal Spirit Egg, it had completed its task of leading him here.

"Don't worry. I'm a person of my word; your task is complete, you can go back and report to the Ant Queen," Lin Chen said.

The Fire Ant Beast was greatly relieved, thanked Lin Chen repeatedly, and then left.

Bai Ling also said, "So, you're still looking for a Spirit Beast Egg, right?"

Lin Chen nodded, glancing at the Calamity-Devouring Beast as he spoke, the latter rolled its eyes.

It knew Lin Chen was definitely going to take advantage of it.

Lin Chen was quite pleased to meet Bai Ling, even though the Immortal Spirit Beast was taken by her. But Lin Chen didn't need such a spirit egg, after all, he had the Bloodline Golden Hand.

With Bai Ling's Calamity-Devouring Beast leading the way, navigating Celestial Beast Island would be a breeze, he could pick and choose at will.

"Let's rest first, then set off again. No matter what, we can't go hungry," Lin Chen said.

"Mm."

Bai Ling nodded.

While Bai Ling and the others went out to find food, Lin Chen also took the opportunity to examine the bloodlines of Li Bei's three Spirit Beasts.

White Flood Dragon Beast

[Hidden Bloodline: 31.2%]

Ink Rock Beast

[Hidden Bloodline: 34.5%]

Blood Spirit Beast

[Hidden Bloodline: 33.3%]

After reviewing it, Lin Chen was amazed. All three Spirit Beasts were such top-tier creatures, the Lee Family truly lived up to its name as one of the Four Great Clans, their foundation was indeed terrifying.

Carefully gathering and labeling them, they had a hearty meal. Lin Chen also inquired Bai Ling about matters related to the National Master's Institute.

Bai Ling told Lin Chen that since she joined the National Master's Institute, she practically never went out and stayed there for cultivation and training.

Lin Chen also recalled the previous display of the Calamity-Devouring Beast and curiously asked it to try again.

The skills of the Calamity-Devouring Beast hadn't changed, but its abilities had evolved.

Its suction power was extremely terrifying.

"If this continues, it might evolve into a Heaven-Swallowing Beast," Lin Chen thought, breaking out in a sweat.

However, there had been no successful cases of the Calamity-Devouring Beast in history, so Lin Chen just let go of that thought.

Upon careful consideration, Zhong Nan's abilities were truly terrifying. The evolution of the Calamity-Devouring Beast's abilities was akin to a transformation.

"It seems the most useless one is you, little fatty."

After praising the abilities of the Calamity-Devouring Beast, Lin Chen couldn't help but mock the Unicorn.

The lazy Unicorn was roused by these words but couldn't be bothered to argue with Lin Chen. It just glared at him and then lazily laid back on top of the Big White Bear's head to continue sleeping.

Lin Chen turned to the Calamity-Devouring Beast and said:

"Let's go, time for treasure hunting."

Lin Chen was full of enthusiasm, ready for a big haul.

Bai Ling also got up, having the Calamity-Devouring Beast lead the way, surprisingly it croaked twice at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling paused upon hearing it and asked, "Isn't the place we're looking for the White Python Spirit Egg?"

The Calamity-Devouring Beast shook its head humanly, indicating to Bai Ling that it hadn't sensed this Spirit Egg before coming this way, it was just a coincidence.

Regarding the destination, they hadn't arrived yet.

"What are you two talking about?" Lin Chen asked.

Bai Ling turned back and repeated what the Calamity-Devouring Beast had said. After listening, Lin Chen felt energized, saying, "You mean, this isn't the Immortal Spirit Beast Egg?"

The Calamity-Devouring Beast didn't understand what an Immortal Spirit Beast Egg was, it only told Lin Chen that its intuition guided it here, not this thing.

"You should have said so earlier." Lin Chen said quickly, urging it to get on the road and complaining, "If you had said so, we wouldn't even have eaten. Skipping a meal wouldn't have mattered."

"...."

Bai Ling and the other Spirit Beasts were speechless.

...

Upon learning that the Immortal Spirit Egg was still out there, Lin Chen was truly invigorated.

Though he said he didn't want it, Lin Chen actually still desired it at heart...

After all, who would refuse a good thing?

Even though Xiaobai and the others could slowly evolve with the Bloodline Golden Hand, if they could easily land an Immortal Beast, it would save a lot of effort, who wouldn't want that?

The Calamity-Devouring Beast didn't dawdle, leading Lin Chen and others through the Mist Forest.

Its guidance was much more reliable than the Fire Ant Beast, moving at an extremely fast pace.
