Chapter One Hundred: Heavenly Demon Mink

  "Mouse?"

  Lin Dong's face was filled with shock as he stared at the black mouse that looked like it was only the size of a palm, and he exclaimed in surprise, clearly not expecting that the thing hidden within the stone symbol space would be a mouse.

  "Damn it, you're the rat!"

  When Lin Dong heard this astonishing voice, the black mouse's fur stood on end, its small eyes filled with anger staring at Lin Dong, and it actually spoke human language!

  "A talking mouse?" Lin Dong was also startled by this black mouse, staring at the little thing with a strange gaze, it was his first time seeing a mouse that could talk.

  "You ignorant little brat, I am the Heavenly Fox, not a mouse!" The "Black Mouse" suddenly spoke in a sharp tone when Lin Dong still called it a mouse.

  "Heavenly Demon Mink..." Seeing the old mouse's flustered appearance, Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh, and then nodded silently. This name was domineering, but at present, this thing really looked like an ordinary black mouse.

  "Alright, I don't care if you're a heavenly fox spirit or a human fox spirit, tell me, why are you here!" The tension from earlier had dissipated somewhat at this moment, and Lin Dong discovered that this "Fox Emperor" seemed to not have any powers, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to grab him with just one hand.

  "Hey there, what do you mean I'm not here? I am the master of this stone token. If I'm not here, then where am I?" The little black fox's eyes sparkled with light as it said, its two paws clasped to its chest.

  "Are you the master of Shi Fu?" Lin Dong was taken aback, and then he lowered his head and stared seriously at the little black fox. Under his gaze, the little fox suddenly retreated several steps, ready to turn around and escape at any time.

  "You are not the master of Shi Fu." After staring at the black fox for a moment, Lin shook his head. Although this little fox might be somewhat unusual, his intuition told him that this guy was lying.

  "Don't drag me down, kid. The token is now in your hands. You can come in if you want to, but we don't interfere with each other's business. Master Diao won't bother you, and you shouldn't bother Master Diao either!" Little Diao said with a flick of his mouth corner.

  Lin Dong slightly tilted his head, staring at this little fox, and suddenly said: "You seem to be very afraid of me?"

  "Haha, haha..."

  Upon hearing this, the black fox's two paws were instantly inserted into its waist, making a pose of laughing towards the sky. Its appearance was as if it had heard an extremely ridiculous statement.

  Seeing this, Lin Dong smiled slightly and a "Divine Needle" re-condensed in front of him.

  "Whoosh!"

  At the moment when "Hua Shen Zhen" was formed, Xiao Jiao suddenly let out a loud laugh and quickly retreated far away. With some tension in her small eyes, she stared at Lin Dong and shouted: "What do you want to do?"

  The voice fell, and when it saw Lin Dong's face with a smile that was not a smile, it suddenly came back to its senses. With a sudden burst of anger, it cursed and slowly walked to a safe distance from Lin Dong, sat down with a thud, and said: "You little brat, what do you want to do? Although Master Jiao is now just a ghost, you shouldn't provoke him either, or else no one will have a good ending."

  "Ghost..."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes slightly condensed. It was said that only some extremely powerful and extraordinary demonic beasts could condense a demonic spirit. Could it be that the little thing in front of him, who claimed to be the "Heavenly Demon Mink", had an incredibly terrifying origin?

  "Shouldn't you be the one I'm awakening?" Lin Dong asked suddenly.

  "Cut it out, what do you mean by 'being awakened' if not for that 'Huǒzǔ Yāo Huā', you wouldn't have seen me in another hundred years. And if I hadn't helped you absorb most of the medicinal properties of the 'Huǒzǔ Yāo Huā', you would've been dead and gone a long time ago." Xiao Diǎo said disdainfully.

  "Alright, that time, indeed thanks to you." Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly.

  When Lin Dong acknowledged it so readily, Xiao Tianyu was also stunned for a moment, and then suspiciously stared at the former, saying: "Little boy, are you thinking of numbing Master Tianyu and then taking advantage of it to swallow Master Tianyu's demon spirit?"

  "What benefits would I gain from swallowing your demon spirit?" Lin Dong asked curiously upon hearing this.

  "Uh...no good no good..."

  The little raccoon dog was waving its paws vigorously, and it seemed that Lin Dong really didn't know about these things. In his heart, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he had just been awakened not long ago, and his strength was extremely weak. Even if it were Lin Dong, he could easily swallow his demon spirit. Therefore, the cautious Tian surname had been hiding in the dark all along, not daring to show himself.

  "Can you tell me why you're here? Don't try to fool me, or else..." Lin Dong's expression turned serious as he asked, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of unnaturalness thinking about the object hidden within his flesh and blood, sealed by the stone symbol.

  "I said, I am the master of the Stone Symbol... Well, just one of its former masters." Seeing Lin Dong's suspicious look, Xiao Huo could only change his words and say: "I didn't have this thing for long before I was hunted down, and in the end, I could only self-destruct, the demon spirit hid inside the Stone Symbol, and finally escaped..."

  "Were you very strong before?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.

  "It's just so-so, in the past, you could have farted and killed 10,000 or 80,000 people..." Xiaotiao waved her paw and said casually, but this remark made Lin Dong roll his eyes, and he didn't quite believe it.

  "Heh heh, kiddo, you got this stone token, but I don't know if it's good luck or bad..." Xiaotiao's small eyes suddenly stared at Lin Dong, saying with a strange smile.

  "What?" Lin Dong asked in surprise.

  "Nothing, maybe you'll know later. Although your death doesn't affect me, but since you didn't have ill intentions, I'll remind you that this thing shouldn't be known by anyone, otherwise... heh..."

  Lin frowned and nodded seriously, saying: "Thank you for reminding me."

  The little fox pretended to be calm and waved its paws, but of course it was also hiding a lot. If Lin Dong were dead, perhaps it would not have a direct impact on him, but if the stone symbol fell into someone else's hands at that time, who knows whether some people would have any ideas about his demon spirit.

  "Alright, that's enough. You do what you need to do, and just pretend I don't exist like before. Also, don't think you've found some great helper, because I won't help you with anything, nor can I." Xiao Diao patted his butt, then turned to slip into the darkness.

  "Wait." Seeing the cunning little fox wanting to slip away, Lin Dong hastily called out.

  "What?" Upon hearing this, Xiaodan immediately became vigilant and retreated a bit, saying:

  "Since you were once the master of this stone token, I suppose you should know something about its function?" Lin Dong asked. With the guidance of the previous owner, he wouldn't have to grope in the dark.

  "I know is knowing... but why did Master Sable want to tell you?" Little Sable's eyes rolled around and said.

  "Firstly, I seem to be able to easily take care of you... Lin Dong smiled slightly and saw that the little fox-like Lima's eyes had tensed up, then he continued: "Secondly, our cooperation is beneficial for both parties. You appear to be extremely weak, so why don't you guide me on how to get familiar with this stone symbol? Perhaps I can find a way to help you recover faster?"

  Hearing this, Xiaotiao's small eyes sparkled with interest, and she licked her lips, saying: "I need the spiritual medicine that can nurture a demon spirit, just like the 'Fire Ancestor Demon Flower' last time."

  "That thing is rare, but I'll do my best." Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't distrust me either. You don't have many choices now. My strength has increased, so I can help you find the spiritual medicine that can nurture the demon spirit more smoothly."

  Xiao Diao fell silent for a moment before speaking in a more straightforward tone, "Speak, what is it that you want to know?"

  "This Shí Fú, can it temper spiritual power?" Lin Dong's eyes lit up with excitement as he quickly asked. As long as his spiritual power could reach the level of Second Seal, then he would have the confidence to fight against Wei Tong.

  "Got it!" Xiao Diao thought for a moment and then nodded.

  "But you have to endure that kind of hardship, otherwise it's all in vain."

  "Take me with you!" Lin's heart skipped a beat and accelerated slightly, saying without hesitation, no matter how much suffering he would endure, he must protect the Lin family!

  "Come with me, this stone symbol space is very complex, but most things are sealed, fortunately, the place you need can still be entered." Xiaotiao nodded and immediately turned to shoot into the darkness, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment and followed up.

  In the darkness, Lin Dong closely followed Xiao Xi, and the route was also extremely tortuous. After a while, the figure of Xiao Xi suddenly disappeared in front of him. Lin Dong was shocked at once, and just as he was about to retreat hastily, his eyes suddenly burst forth with a faint white light.

  In the white mangrove, Lin Dong saw two huge crystal grinding discs slowly rotating, and in the rotation of the grinding discs, a special ripple was slowly spreading.

  "What is this?" Lin Dong couldn't help but mutter as he gazed at these two gigantic crystal grinding discs.

  "This is spiritual grinding."

  The little weasel had somehow climbed onto Lin Dong's shoulder, its paws pointing to the intersection of the two crystal grinding discs, where white mist was gathering, and even space seemed to be slightly distorted.

  "If you want to cultivate your spiritual power, just sit there and the grindstone will thoroughly crush your spirit and then restore it, repeating this cycle over and over. If you can endure it, it will be greatly beneficial to your spiritual power. However, if you cannot endure it, it may harm your original spirit and leave behind severe aftereffects."

  "Hey, Lin Dong," Xiao Die said with a pat on his back. "If it weren't for your request, I wouldn't have brought you here either. I don't know what kind of pervert came up with this cultivation method. I tried it once when I was younger and then swore never to touch it again. The mental anguish of being crushed is not something that just anyone can endure..."

  Lin Dong nodded silently, gazing at the crystal grinding disc. After a moment of internal struggle, he finally took a deep breath and thanked Xiaofeng.

  "You can't be serious about going there to cultivate your spiritual power?" Seeing this scene, Xiaotiao's small eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, saying.

  This time, Lin Dong didn't respond, but just smiled and then his body leaped forward, charging into the light ball at the intersection of the two giant millstones.

  "This little guy is also a madman, I hope you can hold on, Master Sable doesn't plan to harm you..."

  Looking at Lin Dong's behavior, Xiao Diao also couldn't help but shake his head and let out a sigh.
