Under Bai Yuran’s lead, Lin Jing arrived at Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for the second time. Upon arrival, Tian Huihua, looking like a charlatan with a smiling face, was waiting in the main hall, seemingly lost in thought.

“Senior Brother.” Seeing him, Bai Yuran bowed slightly and asked, “I’ve brought the person. Where is Master?”

“Senior Tian.” Lin Jing also offered a bow.

Tian Huihua said, “Master did a calculation and found that his horoscope clashes with the Longevity Physique, so it’s not suitable for them to meet. Therefore, I will be the one to take him to see Senior Starry Universe Turtle.”

“Ah?” Bai Yuran was stunned and asked, “The Longevity Physique counteracts Master?”

“I don’t think so. It’s probably just because Master doesn’t want to see Senior Starry Universe Turtle; after all, his heart isn’t in good condition.”

Bai Yuran realized the reason.

Standing to the side, Lin Jing didn’t understand a word of it.

“Regarding the matter of the blessing, Junior Sister Bai has already explained it clearly to you, right?” Tian Huihua returned to the main topic and looked at Lin Jing.

“It was explained clearly long ago. He wants to borrow ‘future power’,” Bai Yuran said. “With Senior Starry Universe Turtle’s ability, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“We’ll know once we ask the elder.”

“However, before we go, kid from the Beast Taming Sect, no matter what you hear next, just don’t take it to heart.” Tian Huihua waved his sleeve, and a surge of magic power enveloped Lin Jing and the others—it was actually spatial movement.

Before Lin Jing could figure it out, they arrived at the top floor of Heavenly Secrets Pavilion through spatial transfer.

This floor was very spacious, with only a stone table in the center. On the stone table sat a turtle that was constantly gazing at the starry sky.

It was the size of a palm and entirely black, but its body was embedded with many colorful gems that looked like stars, making its entire form resemble a black night sky containing ten thousand stars.

“Senior.” Seeing this turtle, Tian Huihua covered his ears and said, “The person has been brought. He is the number one of the Heavenly Pride Battle.”

“A Longevity Physique. It’s a pity you have no talent for divination; otherwise, you’d be more suitable to be the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets Pavilion than those old men currently in charge.” The Starry Universe Turtle turned its head slightly and looked at Lin Jing, leaving him silent.

Lin Jing coughed dryly and said, “Greetings, Senior. This Junior wishes to utilize the contract power of the Foundation Establishment Stage—that is, to obtain the Blood of Contract of the Foundation Establishment Stage while still in the Qi Training Stage. I wonder if it can be done.”

“Simple,” the Starry Universe Turtle said. “Such a small matter is effortless for me. In terms of the Time Dao, even that brat, the Ancient Emperor, cannot compare to me.”

Lin Jing fell silent again, then slowly stepped forward and extended his hand toward the Starry Universe Turtle. The turtle slowly floated up and landed on Lin Jing’s palm. In the next instant, Lin Jing felt an indescribable change occur within him.

He was surprised to find that a third drop of golden Blood of Contract had instantly condensed within his body, yet his Realm remained at the Qi Training Stage. This Blood of Contract seemed to appear out of thin air; it was truly miraculous.

“Alright, the blessing has ended. Remember, this blood is what your future self would have condensed; it is merely borrowed for now. Once you Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you will not be able to obtain this drop of Blood of Contract again,” the Starry Universe Turtle said to Lin Jing.

“Junior understands!”

Having completed the blessing, the Starry Universe Turtle looked at Tian Huihua, who was glancing around, and said, “Alright, I’m going back to sleep.”

“Earlier, I dreamed that the Ancient Kingdom’s National Fortune was about to be exhausted. I need to continue dreaming to see what’s going on.”

Tian Huihua patted his ears and said, “Is it over? Then we shall take our leave. Please rest well, Senior.”

After saying that, Tian Huihua and Lin Jing were teleported out of the room. Aside from the blessing, Lin Jing and the Starry Universe Turtle did not have much interaction.

Seeing the two return so quickly, Bai Yuran immediately asked, “Senior Brother, Lin Jing, how was it? Did it succeed?”

“It should be a success.” Tian Huihua spoke, then looked at Lin Jing and said, “Senior Starry Universe Turtle has an eccentric personality.”

“You didn’t hear the things it was mumbling, did you? Although I don’t know what it said either.”

“It was all just some trivial domestic matters,” Lin Jing stated.

“That’s good then.” Tian Huihua looked relieved.

“It’s good that it succeeded.” Bai Yuran also seemed to know about the Starry Universe Turtle’s situation and didn’t dwell on what the two were being cryptic about. Instead, she looked at Lin Jing expectantly and said, “Saint, what are your plans next?”

“As far as I know, you’ve joined the Demon Subduing Division, right? Do you want to—”

“Wait. Based on what I’ve learned recently, it seems Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Disciples have to undergo fifty years of Astrology and thirty years of Physiognomy—a total of eighty years of bitter cultivation—before they can travel the world. Miss Bai should have only cultivated for twenty years, right?”

“Coincidentally, Miss Bai still has sixty years of bitter cultivation left—and I am also preparing to return to the Academy for sixty years of secluded meditation. Let’s leave our cooperation for sixty years from now!” Lin Jing smiled slightly. After he finished speaking, Bai Yuran’s expression froze.

“Are you kidding me!” Bai Yuran almost coughed up blood. The reason she sought out Lin Jing was precisely because she didn’t want to actually do eighty years of bitter cultivation and wanted to use the Longevity Physique to Cultivate quickly. And now Lin Jing was going into seclusion for sixty years??

Lin Jing quickly said, “The path of immortal cultivation becomes more difficult the further one goes. Miss Bai only needs to follow the steps now to reach Major Achievement. It’s better to wait until you encounter a Bottleneck in the future, then I will come to assist your cultivation.”

“I am currently only at the Qi Training Stage and plan to stay deep within the Academy. What danger could I possibly encounter?”

“He’s right,” Tian Huihua said from the side.

“I, I, I, I—” Bai Yuran pointed at herself and said, “After sixty years, won’t I have become an old woman? I don’t have a Longevity Physique.”

“Nonsense. After sixty years, you’ll be at the Nascent Soul stage anyway. With a thousand-year lifespan, at less than a hundred years old, you’ll practically still be a young girl,” Tian Huihua said.

Bai Yuran rolled her eyes. Since Lin Jing didn’t plan to cooperate so early, there was nothing she could do. She said, “Fine, after I finish my training, I’ll go to the Academy to find you. You’d better be alright then.”

“Haha, certainly.” Lin Jing nodded.

“In that case, goodbye. The teachers at the Academy are very concerned about you and have been following you secretly the whole way.”

“They won’t be able to rest easy until you return safely to the Academy.” Tian Huihua smiled.

Lin Jing nodded again. He was also eager to return to the safety of the Academy, but before that…

Leaving Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Lin Jing quickly returned to the inn, pulled the Dragon Carp out, and condensed the Blood of Contract…

Seeing the Blood of Contract, the Dragon Carp’s breathing also became hurried. It smelled so good!

“Don’t get excited,” Lin Jing said. “I said the third contract slot would be yours, and it will definitely be yours. No one can take it.”

“It’s mainly because the Materials for the Mechanism Turtle are very expensive, and you haven’t gathered them all yet, right?” Divine Pine popped up and said.

What kind of talk was that? Could a Mechanism Turtle warm his cold body?

It couldn’t!

He pressed the Blood of Contract into the Dragon Carp’s forehead.

In the next moment, Lin Jing took a deep breath as a wave of warmth flowed through his body and mind.

Although his Realm didn’t budge at all, the side effect of icy hands and feet after using the Ice Soul Gu was instantly relieved.

“Not bad.”

Just as Lin Jing was marveling that contracting a Fire Pet was indeed useful, suddenly, the Dragon Carp’s memories intertwined, and its thoughts drifted back to the time when it was still in the pool below the waterfall at the Beast Taming Sect. Infinite starlight shone onto the water’s surface and also fell upon its body.

Boom!

In an instant, the Dragon Carp felt a marvelous change occur within its body.

It wasn’t just that the Bloodline connection with Lin Jing became tighter…

It seemed like there were other changes.

“Wait, what’s the situation?” Beside them, Divine Pine also noticed the Dragon Carp’s change and couldn’t help but be shocked.
