Chapter 186: Unexpected Harvest

“A Rare Beast?”

“It’s actually a mutation!”

Lin Jing, who was in the middle of the contract, suddenly opened his eyes, showing an expression of surprise.

He could now perceive the change in the Dragon Carp.

Lin Jing was certain he hadn’t mistaken this state.

It was exactly the same as when he first contracted the Pine Leaf Squirrel and it mutated into a Rare Beast.

“This—”

Lin Jing’s expression froze. Was the Dragon Carp also about to mutate into a Rare Beast because of the contract with him?

The Dragon Carp’s mouth trembled, and its expression was one of struggle, seemingly Awakening some special power.

This scene made Lin Jing take a deep breath.

Before the contract, Lin Jing hadn’t really thought about the Pet Beast mutating again.

Although Elder Mo said that a special Physique contracting a Pet Beast had a certain probability of causing the Pet Beast to mutate.

But the mutation of the Pine Leaf Squirrel, in Lin Jing’s view, should have just been an accident.

After all, when he previously contracted the Ice Soul Gu, the Ice Soul Gu had shown no reaction.

This made Lin Jing completely forget about the Rare Beast matter during this contract, focusing only on quickly helping the Dragon Carp transform into a Dragon after the contract.

However, this sudden change gave Lin Jing a huge surprise, making him suddenly feel that his situation was not so simple.

“Could it be that I possess some kind of ‘Pet Beast Mutation Prone Physique’?

“The reason the Ice Soul Gu didn’t mutate into a Rare Beast is that the Gu worm’s life form is special and inherently incapable of Awakening Rare Beast Divine Power. Of course, it might also just be that the Ice Soul Gu simply had bad Luck.”

Ice Soul Gu:?

“But if normal life forms like the Pine Leaf Squirrel or Dragon Carp contract with me, there’s a high probability they’ll mutate into Rare Beasts. If that’s the case, why am I called the Longevity Physique? I should just be called the Precious Beast Body!”

Lin Jing’s breathing quickened. Having a Rare Beast like the Pine Leaf Squirrel, Lin Jing naturally understood the power of Rare Beasts.

Now, he just wanted to know what Rare Beast Divine Power the Dragon Carp was Awakening!

What kind was it!

A moment later!

The contract was complete, and the Dragon Carp showed a dazed look.

Massive Legacy information surged into its Bloodline.

An unknown memory quickly appeared in the Dragon Carp’s mind.

It was like an ability hidden within its Bloodline, allowing it to understand everything without being taught.

“!!!” The Dragon Carp’s eyes changed from dull to sharp.

Divine Ability, Emperor Yan.

It allows the user to merge flames of different properties that they control. After the flames are Fused, their power is greatly enhanced!

“An offensive Divine Ability, then—” Lin Jing slowly remarked.

Inside the Barrier, the Dragon Carp summoned its top-tier Beast Fire, the Dragon Scale Fire.

The Dragon Scale Fire appeared scaly, its fiery Qi resembling a flying Dragon, containing immense power.

In addition, the Dragon Carp also controlled the Demonic Cultivator flame specifically used to burn the Soul, the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

The Netherworld Ghost Fire was black, its rules chaotic, resembling a twisted Soul, and was extremely frightening.

These two flames were completely different in nature. The Netherworld Ghost Fire could not be used to refine Medicinal Pills like the Rising Dragon Pill, and the Dragon Scale Fire could not be used to refine Medicinal Pills like the Pain Pill or Demon Smoke Pill.

They could not coexist, much less undergo Fusion. But now, under the effect of the Rare Beast Divine Ability Emperor Yan, the Dragon Carp’s two special flames actually began to slowly merge. In an instant, a flame resembling a black Dragon was born!

The Black Dragon Flame swirled around the Dragon Carp, causing black Qi to rise from its body, greatly increasing its power!

“Interesting.” Divine Pine watched the entire process from the side, muttering repeatedly.

“In terms of quality, it’s already no less inferior than that Nirvana Desolation Flame!”

“The Strange Fire inside Yan Xiangbei’s High Grade Magic Treasure?” Lin Jing asked.

During his fight with the Refined Immortal Valley Disciple Yan Xiangbei, that guy ultimately used a High Grade Magic Treasure to activate a top-tier Strange Fire, which possessed terrifying power.

“Yes, that Strange Fire is very powerful. Even if a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator refined it, it could be used as a killer move. It counts as a top-tier Strange Fire. He didn’t even unleash much of the flame’s true power, but in terms of quality—this Black Dragon Flame is not bad either. Once this fish transforms into a Dragon and its cultivation reaches Foundation Establishment, the power of this Black Dragon Flame might not be inferior to the Nirvana Desolation Flame that appeared on the arena.”

“And this isn’t the limit of the Divine Ability it Awakened, is it?” Divine Pine asked.

Lin Jing nodded, “That’s right.”

After all, the Dragon Carp currently only controls two special flames. If the Dragon Carp masters three, four, or even more than ten types of special flames, the power of the Fused flame might be even more terrifying.

It might even be comparable to an Immortal Fire, an Immortal Grade flame capable of resisting Immortal Thunder like the Heavenly Tribulation!

Unlike the Rare Beast Divine Power of the Pine Leaf Squirrel, which synthesizes resources, the Rare Beast Divine Power Awakened by the Dragon Carp seems to be entirely focused on destructive power, an ability with an extremely terrifying destructive potential.

No, that’s not right!

Powerful flames are also of great help in Alchemy and Artifact Refining!

The corners of Lin Jing’s mouth curled up slightly.

Next, he needed to gather more special flames for the Dragon Carp to refine!

“Bo—.” At the same time, the Dragon Carp’s body was currently wreathed in Black Dragon Flame, its eyes sharp, eager to immediately drag out the Pine Leaf Squirrel and Ice Soul Gu for an Inn Discussion.

“You two—” Divine Pine watched, slightly silent, finding it somewhat unbelievable. Rare Beasts! What exactly was going on with this Longevity Physique? Was his Luck truly so Heaven-Defying? To actually gain the assistance of two Precious Beasts—

“Kid, you wouldn’t happen to be the Reincarnation of an Immortal, would you?” Divine Pine suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Lin Jing.

“How could that be?” Lin Jing said, “At most, I’m the Reincarnation of a Short-Lived Ghost. What I lacked in my previous life, I don’t lack now…”

“…” Divine Pine still didn’t understand.

Having received the Starry Universe Turtle’s Blessing, the things Lin Jing needed to do in Celestial Mystery City were completely finished.

Especially the matter of the Dragon Carp’s mutation, which was an unexpected harvest.

“You seem very happy.”

Celestial Mystery City, at the location of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array.

Mr. Cao saw Lin Jing, holding a Zen Staff, with a Gourd hanging from his waist, dressed in a white robe, constantly smiling, and shook his head, “Just as I said, reaching first place on the heavenly pride ranking is indeed something to be happy about.”

“In the past few days, the Potential Dragon Luck has been continuous. The amount it increases in one day is more than what I gained in the entire previous year,” Lin Jing said with a smile.

Unfortunately, once he exceeds 30 years old, he will be removed from the ranking.

As for the Heavenly Pride Earth Ranking, which requires competition among Prodigies under 60 years old and below the Nascent Soul stage—facing a Prodigy like the Cold Moon Sword Immortal, who is at Golden Core Great Perfection and can kill a Nascent Soul, Lin Jing currently had no plans.

He decided to first enter seclusion for ten years, and then talk about it after everyone reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Of course, this wasn’t Lin Jing’s happiest matter, but there was no way for Lin Jing to share his happiest matter with anyone other than Divine Pine for the time being.

“Indeed, this Luck is enough for you to Cultivate for a long time.”

“Prepare to set off. Once you return to the Academy, you should go into seclusion to digest everything. Your strength will definitely be astonishing after you emerge,” Mr. Cao said expectantly.

Mr. Cao had already told Lin Jing that the best choice for the return journey was the Teleportation Array. Although Lin Jing felt heartache about this,

he still chose the Spatial Teleportation Array for safety.

Although the Spatial Teleportation Array was expensive, besides being able to travel efficiently to a certain location, it also had another definite benefit.

That is, the process of spatial teleportation is an excellent opportunity to comprehend the Dao of Space.

For the Teleportation Arrays built by these Void Profound mighty figures, the Spatial Channel contains many spatial mysteries. If someone completely ignorant of the Dao of Space were to use it, they naturally wouldn’t gain anything. However, for Cultivators with extremely high Comprehension Ability, or those who have already entered the Dao of Space, they will gain something, whether great or small, from this journey.

The Pine Leaf Squirrel belonged to this category.

However, the moment Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Squirrel stepped back into Hidden Dragon City, they knew they had been tricked by the marketing tactics of the Ancient Kingdom Department in Charge of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array.

“It was too fast. We arrived without feeling anything at all.”
