Chapter 1431 Introducing Little Shrubby To The SaintessThe Saintess had not expected for Lin Mu to have another tamed beast.
But now that she thought of it, it did make sense.
'For him to have tamed the Yin Yang Twin Serpents, he must have had some experience beforehand.' The Saintess thought to herself.
It also made her curious about what kind of beast Lin Mu had tamed before this and where it was.
"Your first Tamed beast? Is it not here?" The Saintess questioned.
She had not sensed any beast storage treasures on Lin Mu, so she was sure that it wasn't being kept inside one. And while there were other methods to store beasts, they weren't as widespread and were also difficult to use.
Even her own Serpent Moon Sect had such methods as it had a peak specializing in Beast Taming.
"He's with me, I'll bring him out now." Lin Mu replied before closing his eyes.
This was his first time bringing something out of the Sleepscape while he was awake, thus needed more focus. Thankfully, it was just like Xukong had said and all Lin Mu needed was to will it.
~SHUA~
In the next second, a blurry red figure appeared in front of him. It was small and could easily fit between his two hands.

The kitten sized Little Shrubby appeared in Lin Mu's arms, and he softly held him.
The Saintess gazed at the little beast, feeling quite surprised. The reason being, the beast looked a little too weak to her.
'It makes sense the Yin Yang Twin Serpents are small, because they are young. But at the same time, their cultivation base is already at the Dao Treading realm. This beast is an infant and is barely equivalent to the Core Condensation realm.' The Saintess thought.
Even she had been fooled by the form of little Shrubby. Though it wasn't her fault either, as the method that little Shrubby used to reduce his form was quite effective.
Little Shrubby used Vitality Reversal to revert to his kitten form. But it also suppressed his cultivation base accordingly. It was only the lower limit of cultivation base that varied.
Originally, he should have reverted to the Qi refining realm if he was in the kitten form but due to his overall cultivation base increasing, even Vitality Reversal could only reduce it to the Core Condensation realm.
If he kept this up, there was a chance that when little Shrubby reached the Immortal realm, his kitten form alone might have Nascent soul realm cultivation base.
And while the Saintess was gazing at Little Shrubby, he was doing to the same.
To Little Shrubby though, the Saintess felt very different. But he didn't feel pressure like he did with Xukong.
"She feels old… very old." Little Shrubby spoke, through their link while letting out a mewl.
Lin Mu raised a brow upon hearing this.
"Well… she must be old if she's at her cultivation level." Lin Mu replied.
The Saintess didn't know the communication that was happening between the master and beast. She could only hear the kitten mewling.
"This is your tamed beast?" The Saintess spoke.
"Yes, this is Little Shrubby." Lin Mu said before looking at the kitten. "And this is the Saintess." He introduced.
It only made Saintess wonder why Lin Mu had kept a tamed beast like this.
'While the beast is cute… that doesn't make a proper reason…' The Saintess wondered to herself.
A second later though, Little Shrubby jumped out from Lin Mu's arms and stood a few meters away in the courtyard.
Till before they were in the room which had its doors open up to the garden. It gave one an excellent view of the flowers as well as the pond with several carps swimming in it. But now, Little Shrubby stood there gazing at the Saintess.
~shua~
It was now that the Saintess felt the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the kitten increasing. Within a second it went from the core condensation realm to the Nascent soul realm.
"It's rising?" She was a bit surprised, but then saw Little Shrubby growing at a visible pace.
From a kitten, he turned into a cat, then into a large cat. After this point, his cat form changed, and he took on his liger like features, growing a mane and more stripes appearing on his body.
In less than ten seconds, Little Shrubby had reached the five meter size!
This wasn't his maximum size, but it was decent enough to use normally.
Little Shrubby now towered over both Lin Mu and the Saintess, looking at them with his slit eyes. His aura was also fully on display, and one could now tell that he was at the Immortal Ascension realm.
The Saintess though, could see a lot more. With her perception and senses, she saw the Dao Traces of Fire and Wood floating around Little Shrubby.
'An affinity to Fire and Wood? What beast is it?' She narrowed her eyes, not being able to sense right away.
With the multiple bloodlines that Little Shrubby had, it was indeed a bit difficult to confirm what his bloodline was. After all, most people would only think of there being one bloodline and would use it to identity the kind of beast.
But for Little Shrubby, who had a mixture of seven bloodlines, it became a lot more difficult.
"That is how he usually is." Lin Mu answered, knowing that the Saintess might be having a doubt.
To the Saintess, Little Shrubby didn't seem that big, as she had seen plenty of large beasts. It wasn't unusual for even Dao Treading realm beasts to become a hundred meters in size or more. Thus, Little Shrubby was actually a bit small for his cultivation base.
"He can control his size?" the Saintess asked.
"Yes, he can grow bigger or smaller. He isn't at his maximum size right now." Lin Mu said before gesturing to Little Shrubby.
~Growl~
Little Shrubby let out a growl in agreement before growing once more.
