Chapter 256: The Realm Female Contract

Afterward, Lin Jing returned to his Immortal Cave. The Senior Sister’s extra reward was quite tempting, but she was right; given his current strength, trying to sense the might of a Demon Emperor was wishful thinking. He should wait until his cultivation was higher before considering it.

“All the Spirit Stones will be given to Gu Qianqiu for her to Cultivate. Such a massive amount of Spirit Stones would allow even a pig to Cultivate up to the Demon Sovereign Realm. However, the Longevity Physique cannot be judged by normal standards, and there is too little time, so other methods must be supplemented.”

“As for those herbaceous Spiritual Plants, they will all be given to the Pine Leaf Squirrel to Cultivate the Azure Emperor Longevity Art. This should be enough to allow its Azure Emperor Longevity Art to Breakthrough to the Perfection Realm.”

“As for the remaining Demon Cores—they will be used for Alchemy! All of them will go to Gu Qianqiu.”

“Among the countless types of Medicinal Pills, two are the most mainstream.”

“One type is a Medicinal Pill that increases cultivation, and the other is a Medicinal Pill that assists in Realm Breakthroughs.”

“Among them, there are Medicinal Pills that increase cultivation, which are purely refined using Demon Cores.”

“The effect is just very poor. Medicinal Pills refined from the Demon Cores of Great Demons in the Demon Core stage, even after quenching the demonic energy Impurities, might not even raise an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator by a minor Realm.”

“For the Longevity Physique or those in the Golden Core Stage, it is even less effective than a drop in the bucket.”

“Fortunately, the Demon Cores Gu Qianqiu stole are plentiful and their quality is decent.”

“With such a large quantity, making the Dragon Carp refine them would be too tiring for it. Afterward, I’ll ask the Senior Sister to borrow her ‘Alchemy Troop Crane Cauldron’ to perform the Alchemy for me. I truly am a good Beast Master.”

“After all, compared to these cultivation-increasing Medicinal Pills refined from Demon Cores, I should look forward more to the cultivation-increasing Medicinal Pills refined by the Dragon Carp using the ‘Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron.’ Directly refining a living entity into a pill, the effect must be better and the efficiency higher, making it a supreme grade among pills of this effect. Perhaps one pill is equivalent to ten ordinary cultivation-increasing Medicinal Pills!”

“The only pity is that it can only use the Demon Core Divine Ability without restriction once it reaches the Nascent Soul Demon King stage. It cannot be overused at this stage.”

“However, once the Senior Sister’s Spirit Medicine for repairing Demon Cores arrives, I still need to capture a Yao Beast and test the effect beforehand, lest I remain curious!”

Before Lin Jing entered the Hourglass of Time, he couldn’t help but wonder: Since the Life Healing Lotus Heart Fire has the effect of healing injuries, could it repair a damaged Demon Core? The normal Life Healing Lotus Heart Fire definitely couldn’t, but the Dragon Carp controls the Yan Emperor Divine Power.

It can use the Life Healing Lotus Heart Fire as the core and fuse other Strange Fires with it to strengthen it. In this way, the power of the Life Healing Lotus Heart Fire would be greatly enhanced. At that point, could it repair a Demon Core?

If so, perhaps the Dragon Carp could help him perform Alchemy using the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron while it is still in the Demon Core stage. But before that, he should prioritize researching the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Tree-Man Pill and help it achieve Core Formation as soon as possible!

In the Hourglass of Time space, there wasn’t much time left to use. After every ten full years spent inside, the internal space requires one year of external time for cooling before it can be used again.

Lin Jing would soon usher in the Hourglass of Time’s first cooling period, but he could still use the Hourglass of Time to do many things during this time.

“Wake up.” Lin Jing called out. Deep inside his body, a small spider that had self-Sealed itself into hibernation immediately woke up.

“Hungry—.” The first thing the Ice Soul Gu did upon waking was cry out that it was hungry. To prevent the Gu God Sect from having a secret technique to locate the Ice Soul Gu, it had been concealing itself through feigned death until Lin Jing woke it up this time.

“Sorry, I absorbed quite a bit of your power while you were sleeping.” Lin Jing scratched his cheek. Even in feigned death and hibernation, the Ice Soul Gu could not escape the fate of being a backup energy source.

“I prepared food for you.” Lin Jing took out several Demon Cores from ice-attributed Yao Beasts. The next moment, countless white threads pierced the Demon Cores, beginning to draw the icy power from within.

“If you’re full, help me condense a Sub-Gu. This Sub-Gu needs to be special, strengthening its ice-attribute power, reaching at least the level where it can slow the host’s life flow and achieve a Frozen Age.”

Lin Jing took out a few more ice-attributed Demon Cores as compensation for the Ice Soul Gu. The Ice Soul Gu instantly drilled out of his body and asked blankly, “Where is this? Are we safe? Am I getting a new subordinate again? What kind of Physique is it? I’m still so hungry.”

“This is a Dimensional Space. The Gu God Sect shouldn’t be able to locate you here, so it’s relatively safe. Even if you were located, it wouldn’t matter now.”

“As for your Sub-Gu, it will be given to another Longevity Physique to parasitize inside her.”

“Another Longevity Physique!” The Ice Soul Gu was shocked, and then tiny ice beads dropped from its eyes. What was going on? Could it be that its Sub-Gu was going to enjoy blessings inside another Longevity Physique while it had to stay inside Lin Jing, smelling the Longevity scent but unable to obtain it?

How could such a thing happen?

It absolutely did not want its Sub-Gu to enjoy the Longevity Blood and flesh before it did.

“Your Sub-Gu cannot absorb the power of the other Longevity Physique either. She is very weak right now. If your Sub-Gu absorbs her power, she will be close to death. As I said before, the Sub-Gu has only one mission: to slow her life flow with all its might, even if it means sacrificing itself.”

“Oh!” When the Ice Soul Gu heard that the Sub-Gu was not going to enjoy blessings but to perform hard labor, its heart felt a little more balanced.

“Hee hee hee, go, Sub-Gu, complete your mission! If I can’t eat it, you won’t get to eat it either—”

“Huh??”

“How did it achieve Core Formation!” Suddenly, the newly awakened Ice Soul Gu heard the Old Carp next door greet it through their Contract, and it felt like the sky was collapsing.

“Bo~~” The Old Carp next door replied, “Not just me, that Squirrel is about to achieve Core Formation too.”

Ice Soul Gu:???

It couldn’t sleep anymore.

When Lin Jing arrived at Gu Qianqiu’s Immortal Cave again, the Senior Sister had already set up a Spirit Gathering Great Array. Countless Spirit Stones were buried underground, transforming into Spiritual Veins to support the operation of the Spirit Gathering Great Array.

Entering the Immortal Cave, Lin Jing wouldn’t have wanted to leave if he hadn’t been worried about competing with her for spiritual energy.

“This is the Ice Soul Sub-Gu. Fuse it into your body, and you can probably live for ten more years. Also, with this,

you can compensate for your lack of offensive means. You shouldn’t spend energy learning other Spells for now.

The power of the Ice Soul Gu is sufficient—”

Lin Jing flicked his finger, and the Ice Soul Sub-Gu flew toward Gu Qianqiu. Seeing a spider flying toward her, Gu Qianqiu’s pupils contracted, and she scrambled back to the corner of the wall.

“Don’t come closer!”

Lin Jing was stunned.

“You’re afraid of bugs?”

“Y-yes, so what?” Gu Qianqiu exchanged glances with the Ice Soul Sub-Gu and swallowed.

“Alright, but you have to fuse with it even if you’re scared.” Lin Jing continued to command the Ice Soul Sub-Gu to crawl onto Gu Qianqiu’s face and drill into her mouth. A scream immediately echoed through the Immortal Cave… Lin Jing expressed understanding regarding the fact that a thousand-year-old Longevity Physique, who had once reached Void Profound Peak cultivation and slain countless Sky Lion Yao, was afraid of bugs.

Not long after.

A blue-eyed, Frozen Age Gu Cultivator with hair as white as ice and snow was born.

At the same time, deep within the Void Realm, the Divine Pine, who was diligently Cultivating, stared blankly at a pile of treasures that had flown out of an unknown rift.
