Chapter 683: Refining New Blade (Part 2)

He had noticed the little Mink following them and could have easily gotten rid of it.

However, doing so would mean he would have to increase his pace, and he wasn’t willing to do that.

He wanted to carry Amalia a little bit longer and savor the time, including enjoying the feeling of her, so he wasn’t keen on speeding up and cutting the time short.

But he couldn’t admit this to Amalia.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Maybe it has some special ability."

"Do you think I’ll believe that?" Amalia gave him a skeptical glance.

"Why wouldn’t you?" Kenny Lin replied, looking particularly innocent.

Amalia took a deep breath and decided not to pursue the matter further.

Kenny Lin, still cautious, asked carefully, "Why do you think it’s following us?"

"Probably because it thinks the spiritual vein is in our possession," Amalia guessed.

"In a strict sense, the spiritual vein is indeed in our possession," Kenny Lin nodded his head and said, "You emptied the spiritual liquid from the Spiritual Pool before, and it might have seen that. It’s probably keeping an eye on the spiritual liquid you have."

Amalia saw some merit in that idea.

"It’s not good for this little Mink to keep following us. The Crystal-Eyed Mink is a companion beast of the spiritual vein. It was driven away by the Black Star Beast before, but if others see it, they’ll know about the spiritual vein. They might even guess the things in the Spiritual Pool Ravine were our doing. Perhaps..." Kenny Lin said with a sly smile, "Perhaps we should just kill it."

The Crystal-Eyed Mink who is hiding behind a tree, suddenly shivered.

The little Mink, having been well-fed before, was plump and its whole body trembled with the shiver.

Amalia glanced at it and said, "Forget it. Since it helped us find the spiritual vein, let’s let it go."

"Then it can’t keep following us forever."

Amalia thought for a moment, took out a jade bottle, and poured a bit of spiritual liquid on the ground.

"Let’s go."

With that, she started walking, and Kenny Lin followed behind.

The Crystal-Eyed Mink, seeing them leave, wanted to follow but was reluctant to leave the spiritual liquid.

It rushed over immediately, extending its tongue and licking the liquid with a look of bliss.

Seeing that the Mink indeed didn’t follow them anymore, Kenny Lin smiled and said to Amalia, "Actually, you didn’t have to do that."

"Consider it a reward for its help," Amalia said, keeping her gaze forward.

Kenny Lin said with relief, "My dear is just so kind."

Amalia’s ears turned slightly red, "If you keep being so chatty, don’t follow me."

Kenny Lin immediately replied, "How can I do that? When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog."

Amid Kenny Lin’s constant teasing and banter, they found a place to rest—a small cave with rocks and a dense forest.

Even if someone came, they might not find this cave.

Kenny Lin quickly set up a spot in the cave where they could sit and lie down.

The ground was covered with the hide of a demonic beast.

The hide, from a demonic beast at the Golden Core stage, had a scent strong enough to drive away weaker demonic beasts nearby.

Amalia sat cross-legged and began to assess her internal injuries.

The damage to her internal organs was quite severe.

If she hadn’t been wearing armor, it would have been even worse.

The Eight Gods Sword’s blade aura was always vigorous.

If she needed to continue using the Eight Gods Sword, she had to heal her damaged organs.

"How is it?" Kenny Lin asked, with an expression that clearly said ’If you say it’s not serious, I absolutely won’t believe you.’

Amalia’s mouth twitched slightly, "It’s a bit serious. I’ll need to rest and recover for the next few days. Also, my blade is damaged. If I don’t repair it, I won’t be able to use the Eight Gods Sword. If we encounter powerful demonic beasts or devils again, I might not be able to hold out for long."

Amalia needed a few days to recuperate, and Kenny Lin not only didn’t refuse but fully supported the idea.

Thus, for the next few days, the two of them stayed in the small cave and only moved around the nearby area.

Occasionally, Kenny Lin went out to kill any lingering demonic beast and sprinkled their blood on the ground, creating a deterrent that kept other demonic beasts from approaching the cave, effectively turning the area into a safe zone.

Amalia didn’t know what he did when he went out every day, and he wouldn’t say anything when he was asked.

Otherwise, she might have hammered him to death, as such actions would make them more conspicuous.

Blatantly telling other human cultivators and devils that there was something suspicious here would only invite trouble.

During these two days, Amalia consumed a large amount of spiritual liquid, along with the spiritual herbs she found after entering the Double Cavern Secret Realm and her own spiritual pills.

While recovering from her injuries, she also improved her cultivation, achieving more significant results than usual.

Amalia felt that she might be on the verge of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core.

Three days later, her internal injuries finally healed.

Amalia clenched her fist, feeling the surging power within her, more profound than when she first entered the Double Cavern Secret Realm.

"Have your injuries healed?" Kenny Lin asked as he entered the cave and saw this scene.

"Not only have they healed, but I should be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core once we leave here," Amalia nodded her head.

Her expression was calm and did not reflect the breakthrough she was on the verge of achieving.

This was probably her fastest breakthrough yet.

Previously, breakthroughs had been very quick because her cultivation level was still low.
