After the four finished giving their instructions in the courtyard, Jiang Xubai took the lead in bowing and bidding farewell. His white robes fluttered as he walked with ease, heading straight to the inner storeroom to collect the talismans and magical artifacts needed for the Wind and Thunder Secret Realm.

Shen Qingyuan nodded slightly to Lin Ye, then turned and left with her aloof figure. She was going to retrieve her star-patterned sword, which she had nurtured for many years, and prepare various healing and detoxifying pills to make thorough preparations for her trip to the Star Abyss Secret Realm.

Ayan clung to Linye's side, reluctant to leave immediately, repeatedly assuring Linye that he would cultivate diligently, wear the protective stone his master had given him, and never let his master worry.

Lin Ye smiled and patted his head again, telling him to hurry up and pack his bags. Only then did he run away, looking back every few steps, just like a trainee rider on his first long-distance trip, full of enthusiasm to protect his "boss".

Soon, only Lin Ye remained in the courtyard. Xing Jin, who was perched on his shoulder, finally relaxed its small body, but still rubbed against Lin Ye's neck listlessly. Its snow-white fur drooped, and its little paws gripped his clothes tightly, full of lingering anxiety.

It would occasionally glance in the direction of Qingxuan Quiet Room, its little nose constantly sniffing, as if it could smell a gloomy aura lingering above the sect—this little guy's intuition was even more sensitive than navigation warnings.

Lin Ye gently stroked Xing Jin's soft fur, feeling the little guy's uneasy trembling at his fingertips, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

When Master Xuanzhen revealed the truth about the simultaneous opening of the five realms, this little fellow became unusually restless, sensing the celestial anomaly much earlier than everyone else present. Such spirituality far surpasses that of ordinary spirit beasts.

He was about to take Xingjin back to his residence when a gentle yet profound voice came from behind him. It was Daoist Xuanzhen: "Lin Ye, please wait."

Lin Ye stopped upon hearing the voice, turned around, and bowed respectfully: "Master."

Master Xuanzhen slowly walked out of the Qingxuan Quiet Room, his plain Taoist robe fluttering in the breeze, his whisk lightly resting on his wrist.

He stepped forward, carefully examining Xing Jin, and subtly manipulated a secret astrological technique with his fingertips, causing faint star energy to slowly envelop the little guy.

Xingjin instantly bristled, its snow-white fur standing on end. It arched its small body and let out a soft growl at Daoist Xuanzhen, but instead of dodging, it stood firmly in front of Lin Ye, looking like it was protecting its master.

"Master, is something wrong with Xingjin?" Lin Ye noticed the Daoist's strange expression and quickly protected Xingjin on his shoulder, asking softly. This spirit beast had been by his side since he embarked on the path of cultivation, and was already his inseparable companion, as well as his "good partner" on the path of cultivation.

Master Xuanzhen gently shook his head, the probing in his eyes transforming into a solemn expectation. He slowly spoke, "This beast is no ordinary mortal spirit beast, nor is it a native demon beast of the Cangxing Realm. It possesses the essence of a star spirit, being an ancient star spirit celestial fox. It shares the same origin as the alien essence within you, making it a naturally born star spirit species. Its spirituality is boundless, allowing it to perceive the energy of heaven and earth, and sense fortune and misfortune. Its divination techniques are even more accurate than those of ordinary sect elders. However, its intelligence is currently undeveloped, and its form is not yet formed, so it cannot express the strange phenomena it perceives."

Lin Ye was immediately shocked. He looked down at the tiny Xing Jin in his arms, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had only assumed that Xingjin was a spiritual beast he had subdued by chance, never imagining it had such an origin. No wonder it was so restless when all five realms were unlocked—

"You possess the origin of an alien star. Once you enter the Star Abyss Secret Realm, the chaos of star power will inevitably attract the covetousness of various forces, and there are also deadly dangers within the secret realm. This beast, by your side, is already a great help, but its strength is still weak and it cannot fully exert its power."

Master Xuanzhen sighed softly and took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. The jade bottle was smooth and lustrous, and inside was a pill that was completely red, surrounded by a faint fragrance of elixir and starlight. It was clearly a peerless treasure.

"This is a Transformation Pill, a Star Transformation Pill that I personally refined using three hundred years of cultivation, combining meteorite iron from the Star Realm with thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Not only can it help spirit beasts awaken their intelligence and transform into human form, but it can also stimulate the star spirit origin within them, stabilize their cultivation, and allow them to completely control their own perception power."

Master Xuanzhen handed the jade bottle to Lin Ye, his tone solemn, "The five secret realms are opening simultaneously. The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, as a place where beasts gather, presents even greater opportunities and dangers."

As an ancient spirit fox, Xingjin can not only nourish himself with the spiritual energy of the myriad beasts in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, but also better sense the signs of calamity in the world when he enters the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

"In a little while, give it this pill."

Lin Ye took the jade bottle with both hands, feeling its scalding heat and immense weight. He knew that the Transformation Pill was a rare elixir in the world, let alone a Star Transformation Pill personally refined and infused with star power by his grandmaster.

This kindness and entrustment made him bow again, but he was secretly thinking: This is a great upgrade gift pack for my "god-level support"!

"Disciple thanks Master for his kindness. I will protect Xingjin and live up to your trust."

"No need for formalities, this elixir was prepared for it." Master Xuanzhen waved his hand, his gaze returning to Xingjin in Lin Ye's arms, his expression becoming exceptionally serious. He spoke slowly to the little creature, "Little one, since you are by Lin Ye's side, you must remember to do everything in your power to protect him in the future. If you sense any danger or calamity, you must inform him immediately. You can foresee the calamities that have not yet occurred in the world; this matter is of great importance and must not be neglected."

Xingjin seemed to understand Master Xuanzhen's words. He nodded his little head slightly, the wariness in his eyes disappeared, and a clear understanding appeared. He rubbed against Lin Ye's palm and let out a soft hum.

It's like a loyal partner who has been given the highest priority protection orders.

Master Xuanzhen watched this scene, nodded slightly, but couldn't help but sigh softly, a layer of worry lingering between his brows: "The simultaneous opening of the five realms is an unprecedented event. Your companionship with this ancient celestial spirit fox is both an opportunity and will bring more variables. Be careful in everything you do on this journey to the secret realm. Although Qingyuan will protect you, you must ultimately rely on yourself. Remember, your life comes first."

Having said that, Master Xuanzhen said no more, lightly waved his whisk, and turned back to his quiet room.

The stone door of the quiet room slowly closed, shutting out the sunlight from the courtyard, leaving only a long and heavy sigh that dissipated in the wind.

Lin Ye held the jade bottle in his hand, looking down at the obedient Xing Jin in his arms, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He originally thought he was just an ordinary cultivator in the Cangxing Realm, but he never expected to be involved in a change of the world, and to have such an extraordinary spirit pet by his side.

He used to rely on his familiarity with the roads and his reliability when he was a food delivery driver; now that he's cultivating immortality, he relies on the alien origin and the god-level support of Star Ember.

The road ahead seemed full of opportunities, but in reality, every step was fraught with danger. But Lin Ye was a man who had weathered city-wide storms and storms, and snatched countless urgent orders. What were these little storms compared to this? He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening: This super order involving the five realms, I'll take it! Not only will I complete it, but I'll complete it beautifully, carving out my own pinnacle order on the path to immortality!
