Lin Wu looked at the blanket of flowers that surrounded the base of the mountains.
"Scan the flowers, System." Lin Wu asked, feeling curious.
~DING~
——
SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target selected
TARGET IDENTIFIED: Cyan Blush Azaleas
INFO: Cyan Blush Azaleas are low grade spirit flowers that grow in areas rich in copper. They are also notorious for being the arena where Copper Hide Weasels live.
——
"Huh? This is new…" Lin Wu muttered.
"System, show me information about the Copper Hide Weasels." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
DATA FOUND: Copper Hide Weasel
INFO: Copper Hide Weasels are hardy spirit beasts that live in regions rich in copper. They eat various types of coppers, whether they be normal copper or spirit coppers. They are often found near the arrear where Cyan Blush Azaleas grow because the flowers also need copper rich soil to grow.
These beasts can reach Dao Shell realm and that is the highest recorded cultivation base that has been discovered till now. Their skin is hard like Copper and their teeth can cut through metal like mud.

"Hmm… I guess the beast I saw on the map is probably a Copper Hide Weasel." Lin Wu muttered.
He continued up the mountain and soon reached the area that the Copper Hide Weasel was probably living. Unlike what Lin Wu had expected, the weasel did not live in a cave, rather it made its nest using multiple trees that it had broken and arranged into a comfortable bed.
Looking at the size of the bed, Lin Wu reckoned the beast must not be that big, as the bed was barely a meter in size.
"Well, that's a small Nascent Soul realm beast." Lin Wu muttered.
Till now, all Nascent Soul realm beasts or even the Core condensation realm beasts that Lin Wu had encountered were quite big. Some Qi refining realm beasts were also quite bigger than this beast.
Lin Wu wondered whether the beast had any information about the Stone feather. Looking at the nest, he saw even more flowers in it. The beast had evidently used the flowers as bedding anal created a soft layer.
Most of the flowers were smashed and crumpled, showing that the beast had been here recently.
"Hmm… where is it, though?" Lin Wu wondered.
Looking at the map it was still showing it to be far but Lin WU knew that was because that the map had not been updated.
"System, update the map." Lin Wu ordered.
~WHOOSH~
But just as he said this, he suddenly felt something approaching from the back.
~Thud~
~HENG~
The sound of metal vibrating could be heard as Lin Wu felt something hit him.
"Hey!" Lin Wu shouted as he turned around.
"Huh? Nothing?" Lin Wu spoke.
But then…
~munch~
"What the fuck! Get off from my head!" Lin Wu ordered the thing that was latched on.
"NO!" The beast spoke.
Lin Wu moved his eyes using cellular manipulation and started at the beast hanging at the back of his head. It was none other than the Copper Hide Weasel. Lin Wu's crimson red eyes that had suddenly appeared at the back of his head startled the Copper Hide Weasel.
The beast stopped munching on the crystal spike on Lin Wu's back and looked into the eyes. Lin Wu found it to be hilarious as half of the spike was in the beast's mouth and it washed him with a tilted head.
"I said stop." Lin Wu spoke again.
"No! Food! Tasty!" The Weasel spoke in broken sentences as it continued biting on his spike.
The thing was… the Copper Hide Weasel was unable to actually bit through Lin Wu's defenses. But it definitely was licking him like candy.
~shua~
Wind attribute spirit Qi suddenly rose from Lin Wu's body as it knocked the Copper Hide Weasel away.
~thud~
"I told you to get down before." Lin Wu spoke in a deep voice.
The Weasel got up from the ground pretty quickly and looked at Lin Wu without fear. This made Lin Wu feel strange, as he was sure any Nascent Soul beast would be wary of him. But this beast did not seem to be like that.
Looking at it, there were no injuries sustained either. The beast was in tip-top condition and looked at Lin Wu undauntedly.
"Little beast, tell me have you seen something like this," Lin Wu decided to not waste time and took out the stone feather from his inventory.
The Copper Hide Weasel did not look at it and just started at Lin Wu's body.
~drip~
Slobber dripped from the corner of its mouth as if it was looking at delicious food.
'Has this beast gone dumb?' Lin Wu wondered.
"I SAID, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?" Lin Wu said in a loud voice.
The Copper Hide Weasel finally snapped out of it after hearing Lin Wu and sensing the aura being emitted from his body.
"Food! Me! Eat! No! Tell!" The Copper Hide Weasel spoke before rushing at Lin Wu again.
This time it attacked the closest thing that was to him, Lin Mu's tail. The copper Hide Weasel latched onto his tail and started to bite on one of the spikes again. The beast was not even focusing on Lin Wu who could very well smash him to a mush.
This intrigued Lin Wu, as the other beasts he had seen were not like. While they would attack him, they would also be able to speak decently if they were in the Nascent Soul realm. But this Copper Hide Weasel seemed to be a unique one.
"It's almost as if… it's a child." Lin Wu muttered.
"System, scan this beast." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
Lin Wu saw the same information as before appear in front of him. But when he switched to the details section that showed the beast's specific information, he saw something that caught his attention.
~Ding~

BEAST AGE: 25 years
——
"Huh? 25 years old? How can this beast be so young with such a cultivation base?" Lin Wu wondered.
