Chapter 6: Mutation

Lotus Peak!

Elder Mo sat at a stone table, sipping spirit tea.

A black bear monster wearing a white Daoist robe ran toward him with big strides.

"Master, the Longevity Constitution that I and that kid Ouyang Hao brought back seems to have succeeded in Qi Refining."

As the Black Bear Monster finished speaking, Elder Mo nodded.

"Faster than I imagined."

"This Longevity Constitution is indeed difficult to cultivate."

"But fortunately, it is all worth it. A Qi Refining stage cultivator can easily live over a hundred years, and as for him, it is not surprising that he can live to a thousand years now."

"Even if the cultivation speed is slower, with such a long lifespan bonus, after a thousand or ten thousand years, as long as he doesn't fall, he will be enough to become a patriarch of one side." Elder Mo sighed.

Unlike those cultivation constitutions that reveal power at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages...

The Longevity Constitution only shows its effect when time is stretched out.

"I just don't know if he can successfully make that squirrel mutate..." The Black Bear Monster scratched its head.

"Yes, if successful, he doesn't have to wait for thousands of years; he can soar into the sky right now..." Elder Mo put away his serious expression and said nervously: "I have already told him about the difference between Spirit Beasts, Demon Beasts, Rare Beasts, and Immortal Beasts."

"However, I didn't tell him that any special cultivation constitution contracting a pet beast has a certain probability of activating the hidden power in their bloodline, causing the pet beast to 'species mutate,' evolve toward a Rare Beast, and awaken a special supernatural power."

"Concluding a bloodline contract with a cultivator of a special constitution is the second chance for ordinary Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts to mutate toward Rare Beasts."

"Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Since I learned this information, up to Ouyang Hao, I have brought back so many special spirit bodies, and no one has succeeded yet."

"I just don't know how this Longevity Constitution will be." Elder Mo’s expression was impatient, and he said: "This time... I hope I can bet successfully!"

As he spoke, Elder Mo ran to worship ancestors, burn incense, and pray for blessings.

"Sect ancestors above!"

"Six pairs have already failed, it should be successful."

The Black Bear Monster sighed.

"Master, I feel like you must have been cheated by the people of the Heavenly Secret Tower... The information is fake, stop betting."

Outer Courtyard!

In the room, Lin Jing pinched the Pine Leaf Mouse’s aggrieved little face.

"Zhi!" The Pine Leaf Mouse broke free from Lin Jing’s hand and wiped its tears strongly.

The beast tamer it chose...

Isn't it just a bit slow to cultivate...

Having eaten so many spirit stones, even a pig could have taken off.

It chose to believe in Lin Jing.

Accumulating and then breaking out, the master’s constitution must be extraordinary.

These spirit stones must be earned back double.

The Pine Leaf Mouse closed its eyes and brainwashed itself.

Waiting for the contract.

And Lin Jing, feeling the majestic vitality in his body, didn't care at all about the slow cultivation.

There are gains, and there are losses.

And he felt that this terrifying vitality brought far more than just the benefit of a long lifespan.

Since his flesh and blood were a great tonic for monsters.

Then, from another angle, as long as he was willing, it was also a great tonic for his pet beast.

Of course, bleeding and cutting meat for the pet beast was too cruel. He was a normal person and couldn't accept it.

So, he had considered before, was it possible to refine blood into pills and use pills to strengthen the pet beast?

By refining pills, weakening the connection between the pills and himself, and retaining the nourishing effect, this would also avoid his pet beast having bad ideas about him...

However, this still sounded like a demonic cultivation method, and he was not familiar with the Dao of Alchemy, so he would study it after knowing more.

Lin Jing’s eyes flickered. He was still just a small Qi Refining stage cultivator, so this way of playing was not suitable for him yet.

"Contract." Lin Jing smiled.

Thanks to this hoarding mouse, otherwise, if he wanted to succeed in Qi Refining, even with Inner Disciple treatment, he would probably have taken much, much longer...

In the future... he would compensate it.

Lin Jing began to mobilize the special blood according to the method recorded in the Beast Taming Technique.

He cut a wound on his finger.

Using True Qi to force out the special blood in his body.

Soon, a drop of golden blood appeared on his fingertip.

And as Lin Jing began to bleed, the Pine Leaf Mouse, which had been waiting for the contract with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes.

Its nose twitched slightly.

Big eyes looked at Lin Jing.

Master, you smell so good.

Before it could taste it carefully, Lin Jing’s finger had already touched its forehead.

"Don't struggle."

"You don't want me to suffer a backlash and have my cultivation base fall, right?"

The Pine Leaf Mouse was startled and didn't struggle, very afraid that Lin Jing’s realm would fall.

This was all the cultivation base piled up by its spirit stones!

Hum!

The golden blood merged into the Pine Leaf Mouse’s body.

The two sides began to conclude the bloodline contract.

Just as the Pine Leaf Mouse sensed that the connection between itself and Lin Jing was closer...

Suddenly.

It seemed to fall into a dream, its thoughts drifting to when it was still in the pine forest, meditating on the tree, bathing in starlight...

At this moment, the starlight filled the sky, passing through the night and falling on the earth, and some thin light fell on it.

Time flew by. These starlights did not disappear completely with the dawn; they seemed to be hidden in the Pine Leaf Mouse’s bloodline, waiting for an opportunity to be awakened.

Boom!

The contract was completed, the Pine Leaf Mouse opened its eyes, its spiritual power surged, and its pupils became even more emerald green.

"Zhi?" However, it was confused itself, not knowing what had happened. In the knowledge taught by the sect, there was no such abnormality in the contract changes explained.

"Hmm?"

Besides the Pine Leaf Mouse, Lin Jing also saw that scene.

What was that?

The contract was completed, Lin Jing was startled.

"Are there such visions during the contract process?"

He didn't understand.

In the knowledge Lin Jing knew, the process of contracting an ordinary spirit beast should be very calm.

Starlight...

Wait, starry sky?

Suddenly, Lin Jing thought of something.

Related to the starry sky, it seemed that only Elder Mo had told him about... Rare Beasts!

Rare Beasts are born because of the light of alien stars. Compared to ordinary Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts, they will additionally awaken a supernatural power!

But at this time, the Pine Leaf Mouse was not bathing in starlight. Is it possible to delay mutation after having bathed in it before?!

So now...

Did this Pine Leaf Mouse mutate from an ordinary spirit beast into a Rare Beast?

Lin Jing looked at the Pine Leaf Mouse.

If this was true, what he wanted to know more now was what the Pine Leaf Mouse’s new supernatural power was.

The Pine Leaf Mouse group’s spiritual power has wood-attribute properties, which can ripen grass and trees.

However, this is not a special talent; most wood-attribute spirit beasts can do it.

And its attack ability is also very weak. It only uses spiritual power to strengthen tree leaves and push them out as hidden weapons. The power is limited, which is the Flying Leaf Technique.

In this case, the chance of the Pine Leaf Mouse group wanting to become very strong by relying on their own abilities is small, and they can only learn powerful spells later.

And now, without learning spells later, if it awakened a supernatural power, for this ordinary species, it might be an opportunity to change its fate against the sky.

"Is there any discomfort?"

"Could it be... species mutation? Awakened a new supernatural power!" Lin Jing asked.

The Pine Leaf Mouse turned around in a daze, then shook its head, very "sober."

"Zhi..."

It meant that if cultivation is slow, you should work harder and not daydream about good things. It didn't feel anything. ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
