In the sky above the Great Wilderness Region, a bronze ancient sword streaked through the air.

It arrived outside the Beast Taming Sect at an extremely high speed.

The powerful aura caused many Elders to walk out of their Immortal Caves and look up.

They all looked toward the clouds, not expecting to see a familiar figure atop the ancient sword.

After Lin Jing cupped his hands slightly toward the Cold Moon Sword Immortal, he leaped down, intending to hurry to detoxify Senior Brother Ouyang.

“Pine Leaf Squirrel! Catch me!”

Lin Jing, who had leaped down, could not fly and was not confident in landing steadily on his own, so he could only summon the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

Layers of red leaves appeared beneath his feet, and stepping on the red leaves with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and every step producing a lotus, he descended onto Danxia Peak.

“The Beast Taming Sect’s Saint?”

After delivering Lin Jing, the Cold Moon Sword Immortal seemed to have no intention of staying long at the Beast Taming Sect. Although the Ice Soul Gu was still within Lin Jing’s body, she judged that since Lin Jing’s Dao Protector had Nascent Soul cultivation even as a Clone, the main body should have no problem controlling the Ice Soul Gu.

Her main task in coming to the Great Wilderness Region this time was still to escort the good-for-nothing Gao Sheng back. Relying on his maternal grandfather’s status in the Demon Subduing Division, he had spent twenty years idling without learning anything, and now suddenly wanted to prove himself, which had irritated many people.

“Elder Shen!” Lin Jing landed on Danxia Peak, walked into the Veterinary Hall, and came before Elder Shen, who was watching over Senior Brother Ouyang.

Because the Beast Taming Sect had more Yao Beasts and Disciples often injured their Pet Beasts during duels, they only built a Veterinary Hall. However, in reality, it treated both Beast Masters and Pet Beasts; the word “Beast” referred to both “Pet Beast” and “Beast Master.”

At the moment, besides Elder Shen, there were several unfamiliar physicians in the Veterinary Hall.

“Lin Jing?” Elder Shen looked at Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Squirrel. “It’s actually you who returned. That was just now—”

“It was a Fairy from the Heaven Sword Gate who brought me back to the sect,” Lin Jing said. “Fortunately, I did not fail the mission. Disciple has already found the source of the poison that caused Senior Brother Ouyang to be poisoned. I ask all Seniors to vacate the room so I can focus on detoxifying Senior Brother Ouyang.”

This strange poison… they found a cure? But how could a Qi Refining Disciple bring it back? The physicians present were all stunned upon hearing this, then cupped their hands toward Elder Shen and said, “Elder Shen, we shall take our leave.”

After everyone had left, Lin Jing immediately stepped forward to observe Senior Brother Ouyang’s condition and asked, “Senior Divine Pine, what should I do next?”

“The poison of the Ice Soul Sub-Gu can now be neutralized by your True Qi. You have become the vessel for the Ice Soul Gu; you are now not only immune to all poisons but can also neutralize all kinds of strange poisons. Next, I will unseal a sliver of the Ice Soul Gu, and you will borrow its power to remove the Gu Poison!” said Divine Pine.

“Is it that simple?” Lin Jing nodded upon hearing this. Immediately after, the Pine Cone pattern on the back of his hand flashed, and he immediately felt an extra surge of power within his body.

Having had the experience of eating the purple Dragon Bone Flower, he quickly judged that this power of the Ice Soul Gu was also reshaping his Pet Control True Qi in a similar way.

He reached out his hand, intending to release his newly formed Pet Control True Qi, but unexpectedly, the True Qi did not release; instead, several strands of white silk shot out from his fingertips.

The white silk emitted extreme cold and looked incredibly tough. Lin Jing felt as if it were his own limbs, capable of being controlled flexibly and freely.

“Damn, I’ve become a Spider Yao.”

“Insert the spider silk into their bodies,” said Divine Pine.

Although Lin Jing felt it was very strange, he immediately followed the instructions and controlled the spider silk to pierce into the bodies of Senior Brother Ouyang and the Fox Yao Hong’er.

The next instant, Lin Jing sensed the invisible Gu Poison that had already invaded their Souls. Now, he seemed to be able to absorb the toxins out at will and command the Gu Poison.

At the same time, watching Lin Jing shoot out spider silk to detoxify, Elder Shen was bewildered on the side. What—what was happening?

Not long after, the toxins in Senior Brother Ouyang and the others were cleaned up by Lin Jing, and their complexions gradually returned to normal.

“Ugh—”

Senior Brother Ouyang showed a pained expression, but he still had not regained consciousness.

“The poison has been neutralized. Next, just let Senior Brother Ouyang and the others rest for a period of time, and they will wake up.” Lin Jing withdrew the spider silk, and as soon as he finished speaking, his head spun, and he collapsed.

“Eh?!”

Seeing this, the Pine Leaf Squirrel and Elder Shen were shocked. At this moment, Divine Pine condensed his magic Incarnation again and said, “Do not worry. It is just that he has been exhausted recently, and driving the Gu King with his Qi Refining cultivation puts a heavy burden on him. He just needs to sleep it off.”

“Guardian of Heaven’s Capital!” Seeing the magic Incarnation, Elder Shen immediately saluted, then immediately realized: “Wait, Gu King? Driving the power of the Gu King? What does that mean?”

The Pine Leaf Squirrel looked at her and nodded slightly. Yes, our Beast Taming Sect also has its own Demonic Cultivator now.

Drip—

Drip—

Lin Jing’s consciousness was hazy. He opened his eyes, and a cold chill rushed toward his face.

“This familiar feeling gives me a familiar feeling—”

He felt he had spoken nonsense. Fortunately, before his eyes at this moment was not some damp prison, but an ice kingdom composed entirely of ice, snow, and spider silk.

In the center of this ice kingdom lay a spider composed entirely of ice. It seemed to be the King of Winter, using ice and snow as flesh and blood, and cold air as its Soul. Yet, this ice and snow emperor was now bound by countless pine tree trunks rising from the ground. On the tree trunks, golden-green patterns flickered vaguely, forming solid Seal formations.

“Ice Soul Gu, where is this—” Lin Jing muttered to himself.

“Inside your body. At this moment, you are a wisp of consciousness,” Divine Pine appeared to the side and spoke.

“Senior Divine Pine—”

“The Ice Soul Gu is known as the Gu insect that is the Incarnation of ice and snow. Even the Ice Soul Sub-Gu poison that your Senior Brother was afflicted with has rare methods to be cured, and its Gu Poison will only be more terrifying. The abilities of Gu insects are strange and varied, but most Gu insects have the ability to bewitch people’s hearts. And it is the master of this aspect,” Divine Pine introduced the Ice Soul Gu.

“The Gu Poison of the Ice Soul Gu can completely freeze a Cultivator’s Yin Soul, making them a puppet that it can control at will.”

“Even if the Cultivator’s physical body completely dissipates, it can use the Gu Poison to freeze their Yin Soul so it does not perish, continuing to control the Soul.”

“Of course, with the Ice Soul Gu Poison covering them, even if an ordinary Cultivator dies, their corpse can be preserved intact and is almost impossible to decay.”

“It can be said that the Yin Corpse Sect’s Corpse Raising Technique and the Netherworld Hall’s Soul Control Technique are all within the scope of its abilities.”

“And even without using the Gu Poison, its own extreme coldness is far beyond what an ordinary attribute spiritual body like the Innate Ice Spirit Body can compare to; it is enough to instantly freeze to death an Ice Spirit Body of the same level.”

“Hiss—” Lin Jing gasped, because it was really cold in here.

“Then isn’t the ability of this Ice Soul Gu essentially Demonic Cultivation? Do I really have to form a Contract with this thing?”

Divine Pine said, “I said, do not worry. It is currently only in its juvenile stage and is still sealed by me. For a short time, it cannot absorb nutrients to grow, nor will it wake up.”

“During this period, you only need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and then form a Contract with a Fire Pet with a powerful Bloodline to keep it in check, then there will be no problem.”

“And now—I will pass on the ‘Divine Wood Seal’ to you, allowing you to strengthen the Seal yourself in the future and—unlock part of the Seal to borrow its power. However, unless absolutely necessary, do not borrow it frequently, otherwise, it will accelerate its awakening.”

“Senior Divine Pine, thank you.”

“No need to thank me. Do not forget the Longevity Blood you promised me. With your current cultivation, the Longevity Blood is of little use to me. I consider that you are affectionate and righteous; when your cultivation achieves success, just do not break the promise. Otherwise, I will definitely let you know what a Demon Pine is.”

Lin Jing: “I won’t—”

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Jing woke up.

After he woke up, he saw that he was lying on the bed, with a fox and a Squirrel lying by the bedside, and a weak figure guarding one side.

Seeing Lin Jing wake up, this figure immediately wailed, “Good brother, thank you for saving my life. Senior Brother has nothing to repay you with. If in the next life I am reincarnated as a woman, I will surely repay you with my body.”

“How can you—still repay kindness with enmity—” Lin Jing looked at Senior Brother Ouyang with difficulty and collapsed again.
