Chapter 159: Sub-Gu

“Human pets, yes, I want to take in human pets!” After Divine Pine finished speaking, the Ice Soul Gu was the first to chime in.

After Foundation Establishment, the Ice Soul Gu had great confidence that it could defeat the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Dragon Carp.

However, just now, seeing the Pine Leaf Squirrel control numerous blood mosquitoes, the Ice Soul Gu suddenly realized that it was missing something.

The Dragon Carp had Medicinal Pills it could use, which could significantly boost its combat power.

The Pine Leaf Squirrel had also stockpiled quite a few combat supplies and had numerous trump cards.

Only it, having just been born, had nothing.

The Ice Soul Gu believed this was the key reason why it had lost to the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Dragon Carp earlier.

Therefore, in order to improve its own strength, under the reminder of Divine Pine, the Ice Soul Gu developed the idea of taking in “human pets.”

Lin Jing indeed had the ability to take in “human pets.”

This ability was embodied in the Ice Soul Gu.

As the Emperor of Gu, besides being able to use Gu Poison to directly control other creatures, the Ice Soul Gu could also “gestate” Sub-Gu.

This Sub-Gu was equivalent to a mini version of the Ice Soul Gu, controlled by the mother Gu, possessing a weakened version of the Ice Soul Gu’s abilities.

The Ice Soul Gu had a complete method to parasitize the Sub-Gu into the bodies of others, not only bestowing power upon them but also allowing it to control the other party through the Sub-Gu.

It could be said that because it had just awakened, the Ice Soul Gu had not yet perfectly utilized its abilities before it was bullied in turn by the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Dragon Carp.

“Even for the Ice Soul Gu’s Sub-Gu, an ordinary Cultivator cannot withstand that power; at the very least, they must have an Ice Spirit Body or Fire Spirit Body.”

“However, even with an Ice Spirit Body or Fire Spirit Body, the abilities are too singular. While an Ice Spirit Body can maximize the power of the Ice Soul Sub-Gu, extreme cold power is not necessarily a good thing. Adding ice upon ice, if the Physique cannot withstand it, it will instead become a burden, freezing oneself to death.”

“For example, you right now, after Fusion with the power of the Ice Soul Gu, your Physique and appearance have changed greatly. This is a manifestation of the burden on your body. If you use it too many times, your body will inevitably be unable to withstand it.”

“By comparison, possessing a Fire Spirit Body makes it easier to become a container for the Ice Soul Gu. Although it cannot perfectly unleash the power of the Ice Soul Gu, at least one’s own body will be in a relatively stable state.”

“Therefore, to perfectly control the Ice Soul Gu, it is best to possess both Ice and Fire attribute powers. On one hand, it can fully adapt to the power of the Ice Soul Gu, and on the other hand, it has the ability to suppress the power of the Ice Soul Gu.”

“But wanting to possess both Ice and Fire Physiques is undoubtedly very difficult. Just like you, you can only obtain Fire power later by contracting a Flame Dragon Carp.”

“And with a twin physique, both parties share a connection of minds and share power, so they actually have a chance to become Cultivators possessing both Ice and Fire powers. Ordinary Cultivators can only Cultivate one Cultivation Technique, but for the twin physique, because their powers are connected, it is equivalent to being able to Cultivate two Cultivation Techniques.”

“You have them each Cultivate a powerful Ice attribute Cultivation Technique and a powerful Fire attribute Cultivation Technique, and then bestow the Ice Soul Sub-Gu upon them. They will be able to become your sharp battle blades! They are one of the few best containers that can perfectly unleash the power of the Ice Soul Sub-Gu.”

“Of course, this is just one way to use the twin physique, hehe.” Divine Pine suggested, “When the container Cultivates the Sub-Gu to be powerful, the mother Gu will also, like a Beast Taming Sect Cultivator, receive feedback from the Sub-Gu’s power, making its strength even greater!”

“It is certainly a method for cultivating the Ice Soul Gu!”

“Is that so.” Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. Although this twin physique might be a very good container for cultivating the Ice Soul Sub-Gu, isn’t this forcing others to become Demonic Path Gu Cultivators?

Not good. Unless the other party is willing themselves.

Seeing Lin Jing silent for a long time, the two twins dared not make a sound, until Lin Jing spoke again: “The Jiang Family of Tianshui City.”

“What level of Immortal Cultivation Family is it?”

“Replying to Senior, the Jiang Family has an Old Ancestor at the Golden Core Early Stage.” The young girl among the twins answered.

Lin Jing nodded: “No wonder you two were targeted by the Yin Corpse Sect. An Old Ancestor at the Golden Core stage is likely unable to protect you.”

“Now I give you two a choice. One is for me to send you back to your Family.”

“The second is to follow by my side, and I will give you power.”

The two twins’ eyes were filled with panic. Both parties shared a connection of minds; without needing to communicate or look at each other, they could know the other’s thoughts.

“He, he said he would send us back?”

“Don’t believe it. We have seen so much that we shouldn’t have; how could we go back safely? He will definitely silence us.”

“He is testing whether we can be obedient. His goal must be the same as the Yin Corpse Sect—it is for our bodies.”

“Senior, please don’t kill us. We are willing to serve by your side…” The two twins begged repeatedly.

“…Who wants to kill you.” Lin Jing said speechlessly: “You should consider this carefully. Sending you back to the Family at most means letting you forget a few things.”

“And following by my side is not necessarily a good thing either. However, as long as you are obedient, it won’t take long before I make you two the strongest in your Family.”

“Senior… this Junior dares to ask, what do we need to do to follow by Senior’s side?” The twin boy swallowed his saliva and asked.

Lin Jing chuckled: “Nothing much, just having you act as containers to raise two Gu insects, that’s all. Rest assured, with your Physique, as long as you cooperate, these Gu insects will not only not affect you but instead become your strongest partners.”

The twins’ vision went dark. Gu insect containers?

“We will listen entirely to Senior. We will not go back.” The young girl among the twins said nervously. Compared to falling into the hands of the Yin Corpse Sect, falling into the hands of the Gu God Sect was something they could accept more.

Falling into the hands of the Yin Corpse Sect, they would either be subjected to Possession or refined into corpse puppets, but with the Gu God Sect, at most, they would just be dealing with poisonous insects.

“Have you thought it through?” Lin Jing asked.

“We have thought it through. We are willing to follow by Senior’s side.” After the two twins exchanged opinions, they said tentatively, “Good. Since that is the case, we will go to your Family first. You can go report that you are safe, and then we will leave the Sky Domain.” Lin Jing said slowly.

“We can still go home to report we are safe??” The two twins were stunned.

“I said it before, I am a good person.”

The two twins nodded frantically.

“By the way, what Cultivation Technique are you two currently Cultivating? Does it have an attribute?” Lin Jing asked.

He looked at the two twins; both were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, around fifteen or sixteen years old. Fortunately, their Cultivation level was not high.

“Replying to Senior, it is the Family’s ‘Nine Revolutions Pure Qi Technique,’ which is a non-attribute Cultivation Technique, characterized by fast Cultivation speed.”

“Hmm.” Lin Jing nodded and said: “For the next period of time, you don’t need to Cultivate. Prepare to switch Cultivation Techniques and restart. The ‘Nine Revolutions Pure Qi Technique’ is mediocre, but it is not suitable for you going forward.”

“I will find new Cultivation Techniques for you to replace the ‘Nine Revolutions Pure Qi Technique’.”

Although he said this, Lin Jing fell into deep thought. Where would he find good Ice attribute or Fire attribute Cultivation Techniques? It seemed he still had to go search for them.
