At first glance, this large golden spider doesn't seem fierce or menacing; on the contrary, it's rather cute.
The only unappealing thing about this giant spider is that it has two long, bluish fangs sticking out from either side of its mouth, which look like they are highly venomous and are quite frightening.
This large golden spider has eight legs. When it moves, it doesn't stir up a speck of dust on the ground. It's light and quick, like a wisp of smoke, giving the impression that it could run at high speed even on water.
The moment it spits out its silk, it first lets out a scream, like a frightened infant, then its belly swells and a ball of silver light shoots out from its belly, transforming into a vast web of spider silk that covers everything.
The person trapped under the spider web brandished their swords, but to no avail; instead, the web tightened around them, making it difficult to break free.
"Help……"
Someone saw Lin Yi standing to the side and, with a sudden burst of strength, shouted for help.
After binding the group, the golden spider turned its gaze to Lin Yi. The next moment, it transformed into a golden shadow and pounced over.
Lin Yi stretched out his right hand, his sleeves fluttering like a dragon reaching for its claws, ethereal and unpredictable. An invisible force arose out of nowhere, vast and seemingly endless.
The golden spider that attacked suddenly let out a screech, its golden form twisting and landing on a large tree nearby.
“Born a different species, truly extraordinary.”
Lin Yi smiled, rolled up his right sleeve, and his mighty power transformed into countless threads, forming a large net that enveloped the golden spider.
"Squeak, squeak."
Two more sharp cries rang out, and the golden spider knew it had encountered a formidable foe. It immediately turned around and darted into the woods in a flash.
Lin Yi moved swiftly and followed.
The ancient road to Nanzhou is surrounded by forests stretching for hundreds or even thousands of miles. The mountains and forests of the south are teeming with snakes, insects, rodents, ants, poisonous mosquitoes, leeches, spiders, miasma, and poisonous gases, especially with all sorts of vines and thorns intertwined.
The branches and leaves of the old trees are intertwined and dense, so that sunlight cannot penetrate them. The densest part of the forest is as dark as the night, quiet and impervious to wind and rain. Even the most skilled martial artist cannot venture deep into it.
Endless poisonous insects, swamps, miasma, and thorny thickets—even a martial arts master could easily be trapped and die inside if they weren't careful.
However, Lin Yi was a Qi Refining cultivator. Although he couldn't travel freely like a ghost immortal, whose soul could gather and disperse at will, or fly and disappear at will, he still possessed various methods.
Refining Qi, refining the spirit, and refining the body—although they ultimately lead to the same destination, the scenery along the way is completely different.
Ahead lay a swamp, and the golden spider darted into it.
This swamp was muddy and putrid; if a person fell in, they would immediately perish. But the golden spider was incredibly agile, darting up in a few seconds and moving swiftly and nimbly through it as if walking on flat ground.
Lin Yi, who was fond of cleanliness, did not delay any longer. His magical power surged in his dantian, and the Innate Qi Hunyuan Capturing Hand flew out with a whooshing sound. It swooped down from the air like an eagle snatching a fleeing white rabbit, and grabbed the golden spider the size of a cat.
Lin Yi stopped at the edge of the swamp. As soon as the golden spider fell into his hand, it struggled violently. Even without using his magic power, he was still unable to hold it with the strength of his right hand.
Although Lin Yi is not a human immortal martial artist who focuses on body refinement, as his cultivation level improves, his physical body is comparable to that of an ordinary martial saint.
Although it lacks purity and cannot achieve physical immortality, its power is in no way inferior.
Even though Lin Yi wasn't good at using pure physical strength and couldn't unleash its full potential, it was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this golden spider.
Seeing that it couldn't break free from Lin Yi's grasp, the golden spider's eyes rolled around, and it said, "You bad man, let me go right now, or my grandfather won't let you off the hook."

Chapter 183 A Dream of Yellow Millet, The Gate of Life and Death
Lin Yi looked at the golden spider in his hand and asked with a smile, "Who is your grandfather? Is he very powerful?"
"My grandfather is the Grand Preceptor of the Rouran Empire, the Golden Spider Dharma King," the Golden Spider said arrogantly, like a spoiled and haughty young girl.
Rouran was a large country on the eastern grasslands, but its territory did not border Daqian. It was separated by Yunmeng, which was tens of thousands of miles away, and there was no border contact between them at all.
The Golden Spider is the totem of the Rouran Kingdom, and it can only be born in the Wolf Spider Mountain deep within the Rouran Kingdom. It has never been born in the Great Qian Kingdom, Yunmeng Kingdom, or other places.
The eight great demon immortals of the world: Peacock King, Heavenly Serpent King, White Ape King, Golden Spider King, Silver Shark King, Divine Eagle King, Black Wolf King, and Fragrant Fox King.
The Golden Spider King was a rare golden spider that had cultivated itself.
This golden spider spins incredibly tough silk, so strong it's unbreakable by swords. With a single breath, it weaves a massive web in mid-air, catching birds—even eagles are devoured. If a person gets caught in its web, they become immobilized, cocooned, and forced to await death with their eyes closed—it's the most formidable creature imaginable.
Moreover, this golden spider has other wonderful uses for those who cultivate Taoist arts, making it the first choice for creating an external body.
Once a cultivator of the Ghost Immortal Path reaches the Possession Realm, they can freely possess a flesh-and-blood body and control its movements.
Some cultivators feed powerful animals with spiritual herbs to make them even stronger, so that when fighting enemies, they can easily kill them with a single bite.
This is the body outside the body.
After the Golden Spider fell into Lin Yi's hands, the reason it hurriedly revealed its powerful background was to avoid being harmed.
"Golden Spider King, what a prestigious title, but it's not enough to scare me. From today onwards, you are my pet. Call me 'Master' first," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Don't even think about it, let me go right now," the Golden Spider said viciously.
“Naughty behavior will be punished.” Lin Yi said, injecting a stream of true energy into the golden spider’s body.
The golden spider grunted, its internal energy surging, and its vision filled with dazzling stars. Its soul, which had been gathering and preparing to leave its body and escape, immediately dissipated.
After a while, the golden spider recovered and found that it had left the dense forest beside the road and arrived at the ancient road of Nanzhou.
Traveling south, by the time the sun was setting, Lin Yi had already traversed the ancient road of Nanzhou with Jin Zhu and entered the first province in the south, Shuiyang Province.
This place is close to Taihu Lake, which is 300 miles away, and is rich in resources, with plenty of fish and rice.
