Chapter 57
His Insights
While answering Qin Ming's various questions, Qi Lin calmly and steadily finished all the food on the table.
So much so that when Qin Ming came to his senses, he was completely bewildered.
Well, I can't tell what his specific preferences are, but I can tell he can really eat a lot. That's Qin Ming's most personal observation.
After finishing the meal, Qi Lin, considering the fragile constitution of spirit masters, offered some well-intentioned advice.
"I don't recommend you eat too much of these, as they contain toxins that are harmful to the human body."
"If you want to train your poison resistance, you can try, but the spiritual energy here is scarce, so I don't really recommend it."
Qi Lin offered a reasoned and well-founded assessment, then floated several plates, the contents of which were no longer discernible, in front of Qin Ming.
S~
Is this still available?
What the heck is training poison resistance?
Qin Ming painstakingly identified each detail by relying on the patterns and shape of the plate.
Qin Ming had absolute faith in Boss Qi's quality control, and swiftly blacklisted and reported the stores that had given him negative reviews!
"Brother Qi, what do you think of Keda's current situation? How should we nurture and develop it in the future?" Qin Ming quickly brought the topic back, seizing every opportunity to seek guidance.
Qi Lin remained silent for a moment, just when Qin Ming thought He wouldn't answer.
"Some spirit beasts are born to control the laws of their own domain, so there are some questions I cannot answer for you."
"However, for water-attribute spirit beasts, it will always be helpful to learn more about water in nature."
"Drifting rainwater, vast oceans, calm lakes... every type of water has its own characteristics. You can take him to see them all."
Qin Ming suddenly realized something and had some ideas about Keda's future path.
"How do spirit beasts with spatial attributes grow?"
Qin Ming thought of Little Fatty again, and he felt that Qi Lin in front of him definitely had extraordinary attainments in spatial attributes.
"Such a rare opportunity, how could you have such a chance?" Qi Lin was taken aback upon hearing Qin Ming's question.
"Are spatial-attribute spirit beasts extremely rare?"
Qin Ming had no real idea what the little fat boy he had created was, couldn't find any trace of him online, and didn't want to ask anyone directly.
"They're not exactly rare, but they mainly live in another space and generally don't appear on the Spirit Martial Continent."
Therefore, it is indeed extremely rare for a Spirit Master.
Perhaps it was satisfaction with Qin Ming's lavish hospitality, or perhaps it was a matter of obligation to those who had treated him to a meal. Qi Lin was very amiable and answered all his questions.
"What about spirit beasts with the time attribute?"
Qi Lin's gaze became even stranger. Perhaps he couldn't understand why such a weak Spirit Master would want to dabble in Time. Was it curiosity?
Humans are truly strange creatures.
"Time-attribute spirit beasts are truly rare. Even though I have lived for millions of years, I have never seen more than a handful."
Looking back, Qi Lin managed to salvage some valuable information.
"A few, that means there are some," Qin Ming said, about to ask for more details.
"But those few are all of similar strength to me," Qi Lin glanced at Qin Ming and added casually.
Qi Lin's words mercilessly shattered Qin Ming's illusions.
It seems these few are out of the running; Qin Ming understood Qi Lin's implication.
On a sudden impulse, Qin Ming felt that he might not necessarily be sentenced to death, and perhaps he could still struggle.
"Did they have descendants?"
"single."
Excuse me, Qin Ming's last hope has been shattered.
Considering that Qin Ming himself wouldn't live that long, he trusted Qi Lin's past experiences.
Therefore, he completely gave up on the possibility of obtaining a time-attribute spirit beast contract on the Spirit Martial Continent.
That's even more outrageous than Little Fatty trying to lose weight by dieting!
In comparison, it's more likely that Earth just messed around with things on its own.
"What about me? Qi-ge, just say something!"
Seeing that Keda and Xiaopang's future plans had been guided by experts, Qin Ming himself was getting anxious.
I know it involves different species, but I really want to make progress!
Under Qin Ming's repeated questioning, Qi Lin recalled for a long time before hesitantly speaking.
"In my view, you spirit masters have limited lifespans, good potential, but your strength mainly comes from the feedback of your contracted spirit beasts."
"However, precisely because of this, in a sense, humans are not bound by bloodline constraints and cannot break through bottlenecks."
"Once your partner reaches a certain level of strength, you will naturally break through."
"I know that once you become a master-level spirit master, your physical abilities will be no weaker than those of spirit beasts."
"But I don't want to keep hiding behind spirit beasts. Is there any other possibility? I also have spiritual power!"
A good command-type spirit master doesn't want to be a support for warriors.
Qin Ming's main idea is to want everything, even if you don't need it, but you can't live without it.
"I understand what you mean, and I've also come to understand why some spirit beasts are willing to risk everything to protect their spirit masters."
Qi Lin stood up and gave Qin Ming a deep look.
"But you have to explore this path yourself!"
"You are excellent, and I look forward to your continued growth!"
.........
They chatted until late at night before Qin Ming and his group quietly returned to the Lingwu Continent.
Upon returning to the Spirit Martial Continent, the abundant spiritual energy invigorated Qin Ming. "Wow, that feels great!"
Qi Lin also sensed the recovery of his own spiritual energy.
Then, to everyone's surprise, their physique, which had not improved for thousands of years, had actually seen a slight but real improvement!
Is this the tempering brought about by time travel?
Qi Lin seemed to understand something, and his gaze towards Qin Ming became even more complicated.
Qin Ming, of course, had no idea what Qi Lin was thinking. He simply lifted the blanket that had been used to cover himself.
Without even asking Little Fatty's own wishes, they held up the beautiful egg high.
"Brother Qi, this is the second spirit beast I was talking about, the spatial attribute spirit beast I mentioned before."
"Hey, it seems a bit heavy," Qin Ming said, weighing it in his hand with satisfaction.
Qi Lin stepped forward, took a closer look, and then sniffed it, his long eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Brother Qi, when is my little chubby baby expected to hatch?"
Qi Lin's brows furrowed even more. "Do you know how long it typically takes for a spatial attribute spirit beast to hatch?"
Qin Ming sensed something was wrong.
"Several hundred years." Qi Lin didn't keep anyone in suspense.
Qin Ming's mind went blank for a moment, and then he subconsciously began to think about how a Spirit Master should live and maintain a regular schedule in order to live such a long life.
Is this the secret to raising turtles—whoever lives the longest? No matter how Qin Ming calculated it, there was a faint sense of despair.
"The space on this continent is very stable, but this is not good for the growth of space-attribute spirit beasts, so they live in another space," Qi Lin explained.
Thinking about how much he owed the other party for a possible improvement or breakthrough, even if Qin Ming himself might not know it, Qi Lin still decided to lend a hand again.
"I'll take you there; I happen to know one of the elders over there."
"Once you reach that space, your spirit beast will be able to hatch very soon."
Qi Lin's words were spoken casually, but they stunned Qin Ming!
Is this the vision and beast lineage of a true master?
Qin Ming felt a sense of relief and immense joy at the turn of events!
