Cultivation Pet Shop

As Lin Fan touched this token, he could feel a special aura coming from it.

This was an aura that he hadn't felt since he first met Angela and Momonga, it was the feeling of a powerful law. He couldn't help knitting his brows and trying to send his spiritual sense even deeper into the token.

But no matter how he tried to scan the token, he couldn't find anything from it.

The story of this token was actually a funny one.

Only beings that had touched the power of laws could sense the laws hidden in this token, but it was unlucky enough to be sold in a low class auction where Qi Yu had bought it for a low price since he found it interesting. Unfortunately he couldn't sense anything special from it, so he had thrown it into his Spatial Ring to this day.

In the end, he decided to put it away in his system's storage and bring it back for Momonga to see.

The moment he put it in, the system actually reacted.

"Mission item has been found, new mission being released."

"Host, please find all twelve tokens and unlock the path to the inheritance of the Zodiac Knights."

"Host will receive the upper cultivation realm, Zodiac Realm, for completing this mission."

It was an upper cultivation realm! That was on the same level as the Lich's Necropolis and the World of Elements!

Lin Fan was filled with excitement at this, but he knew that this wasn't a simple quest. Who knew where the other eleven tokens were scattered?

He still had to ask Momonga about this later.

Once he had finished sorting through all the loot, Lin Fan left the area and had the beasts scatter until he needed them again.

As he was heading back, Zi Ling quickly rushed back to where Rocky was and undid her illusion. Once the illusion was undone, she also made sure to imprint fake memories to cover up for herself.

While Rocky was still under the illusion, she even brought back a Silver Realm beast for Rocky to kill to create a cover story.

When Lin Fan came back, Rocky was bragging about how he had killed this Silver Realm beast to save Zi Ling. When Lin Fan checked his points, he found that he had indeed received the points from killing the Silver Realm beast.

Now that everything had been taken care of, Lin Fan decided to return back to his original plan of wandering around and trying to find Angela while killing beasts for points. But now that plan had changed with the addition of Zi Ling, he couldn't just leave her alone.

So in the end, Lin Fan decided to bring Zi Ling along.

For some reason, he couldn't help feeling sympathy for her because of her background and he caught several Bronze Realm beasts for her to kill to give her enough points to reach the second stage.

Just like that, a day passed as they wandered around killing beasts.

…

Early the next morning, after waking up Lin Fan was surprised to see Angela standing in front of him, staring down at him.

He had left Rocky out as a guard, but when he turned over to Rocky, he found that it was cowering in the corner of the cave, collapsed into pieces.

When he looked back at Angela, he could have sworn that he saw a bit of dust on her fists.

Lin Fan was about to speak, but Angela spoke first, "Who is that girl?"

As she said this, she pointed over to Zi Ling who was sleeping on the other side of the cave.

Lin Fan turned over to Zi Ling and explained how he had saved her yesterday.

During this time, Zi Ling had been woken up by the sound of the conversation and when she saw Angela, she revealed a faint look of fear. She immediately tried to move over to Lin Fan to hide behind him, but Angela quickly cut her off.

Lin Fan saw this and quickly said, "Miss Zi, you don't need to worry about her. This is Angela, she was the one that I came here with, so she can be considered an ally."

Zi Ling had acted much closer to Lin Fan during the previous day, so of course she would keep that act up. Once she was assured by Lin Fan, she revealed a smile to Angela, but all that she received was a cold stare back.

Angela just grabbed Lin Fan by the collar and brought him to the side before throwing him down. Then she said in a cold voice, "You shouldn't trust her that easily."

Lin Fan looked at Angela with a confused gaze as he said, "What do you mean?"

Angela just said, "She isn't what she pretends to be."

Lin Fan just said, "Angela, I think you're thinking too much. Miss Zi is someone that Mu Bo Hai gave a recommendation slot to, she can be considered an acquaintance and even an ally. Besides with her low cultivation, what is there to worry about."

Angela didn't say anything else since she knew that there was nothing she could say to change his mind. She had already seen how Lin Fan treated her, so unless she had a way to prove definitively what she felt from Zi Ling, she wouldn't be able to change Lin Fan's mind.

It was her own fault for taking too long to find Lin Fan, she could only blame that annoying ape that got in her way yesterday.

When they came back, Lin Fan still tried to mediate between the two, but Angela just ignored Zi Ling. The only thing she did was keep the two apart whenever she could.

Lin Fan didn't understand what was wrong with Angela, but still being together with her for the past two months had created a bond between them. In his heart, there was now a trace of doubt towards Zi Ling.

After that was over, Lin Fan pulled out the map and showed it to Angela, "I found this yesterday, it should be a map of something special in this area."

Angela looked it over and could remember a few of the spots marked that she had passed yesterday. She had actually passed where the X mark was, but she didn't remember anything being there. However, she had flown over the trees, so she really couldn't be sure.

Lin Fan heard this and fell into thought before saying, "Alright, let's go and check it out since you know where it is. Since there's a map for it, there should be something there."

Angela had no objections to this, but she didn't forget to say, "Then let's leave her and go."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "We can't just leave Miss Zi by herself. Miss Zi, we'll go and check this map out, I'll leave Rocky here to protect you."

But this time Zi Ling said, "I'll come with you. If it's really treasure, there must be something guarding it and you'll need your pet to help fight it. I don't want to be a burden."

Lin Fan was filled with admiration towards her, but for Angela who knew that it was all an act, she just gave a cold snort.

So the three of them set off, following the map until they came close to the location of the X.

But when they approached the location, Angela suddenly raised her hand to stop them as she said, "Wait, there's people up ahead."

At this, Lin Fan had Brainy send in the Iron Realm beasts to scout.

Brainy had kept a few beasts with them as they traveled as scouts, so now was the perfect time to use them.

After a few minutes, Brainy passed the information it had heard to Lin Fan.

Apparently there were several tents set up as a camp near the location marked on the map and there were young masters from several royal families gathered here.

Based on what Brainy had heard, these young masters had ancestors who had known Xie Jun back when he was still on the Blue Star Planet.

Even back then, Xie Jun had already planned on stepping onto the Void Battlefield, so he had designed his Inheritance Realm a long time ago. These ancestors had received some information from Xie Jun that he was hiding one of his most precious treasures in the first round as a bonus and after getting him drunk, they had gotten him to reveal the location, which was the location marked on the map.

Qi Yu's group was supposed to join them, but now they had run out of patience and were prepared to get the treasure without Qi Yu's group.

When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes couldn't help lighting up.

This was a good chance, how could he let it go?
