With Yun Mu added, Yun Jin's Unity-stage spirit beast slots were now full.
The Iron-Eating Beast Gun Gun was currently at Golden Core stage.
The Phantom Fox Cat Huan Huan was also at Golden Core stage.
The Lava Giant Dragon Dan Dan, once hatched, would likely have at least Divine Transformation-level strength.
After contracting Yun Mu, information about him also appeared on Yun Jin's system panel.
[Yun Mu: A ten-thousand-year-old mutated mystic tree. His vitality is extraordinarily strong, but his attack power is low. His spiritual power is equivalent to late Mahayana stage, but currently suppressed to early Mahayana stage.
Skills:
Max-level Skill: Life Aura. Group skill. All beings under the aura gain stronger life energy.
Max-level Skill: Spiritual Recovery. Group skill. All beings under the aura have greatly accelerated spiritual power recovery.
Max-level Skill: Clarity. Group skill. Dispels illusions, keeping beings under the skill fully aware.
Max-level Skill: Life Infusion. Single-target skill. Provides massive life energy to a being. Far stronger than Life Aura.
Max-level Skill: …]
Yun Jin clicked her tongue in admiration.
Yun Mu alone had seven max-level skills. Gun Gun and Huan Huan were nurturing-type beasts; she had invested a lot of Emotional Value in them. But Yun Mu arrived at the peak from the start.
However, as the system panel described, Yun Mu had virtually no attack power. All his skills were supportive, and most were group-oriented. In a team battle, Yun Mu could shower a group with a series of auras, likely dominating the field.
But one-on-one, he might not even defeat an early Mahayana cultivator.
Aside from all the max-level skills, Yun Mu had one ultimate skill.
Ultimate Skill: Life Protection. Group skill. Can forcibly preserve the last bit of life energy, extending the life of protected beings.
Yun Mu had used Life Protection a few times before.
It was a god-tier skill.
Combined with Yun Jin's Endless Cycle, not only could it save lives, but it could briefly restore beings to peak condition.
In a team fight…
The opponents would think the disciples of Wushuang Sect were done for.
Then…
One Life Protection, one Endless Cycle, and everyone bounced back to full strength.
How could anyone fight that?
Yun Jin's smile grew even brighter.
In the Grand Sect Ranking Conclave, both team and individual battles were assessed. Team battles reflected a sect's overall strength, giving them higher weight.
Now, with Yun Mu as a trump card, Yun Jin's control over team fights had grown. Her current strength could crush mid-Mahayana opponents and even challenge ordinary late-Mahayana cultivators.
During the sect ranking, there would inevitably be truly powerful late-Mahayana opponents, which would have been troublesome before.
Now…
With Yun Mu, she could challenge any late-Mahayana cultivator except those who had mastered an entire Dao.
"Master," Yun Mu said respectfully, "I see that Dan Dan is on the verge of hatching. I have a skill, Life Infusion, which can provide him with massive life energy. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to hatch successfully."
Dan Dan bounced with excitement.
He was desperate to get out.
Life Infusion…
Yun Jin checked the skill description.
Yun Mu could only use this skill once per year, but its effect was indeed astonishing.
"Will this skill harm you?" Yun Jin asked.
Yun Mu shook his head and said with some relief, "No. As long as it is not used forcibly multiple times in a short period, there will be no issue."
Having read the description, Yun Jin knew Yun Mu was not overestimating himself.
She nodded. "Then please proceed."
Dan Dan rushed excitedly to Yun Mu.
Yun Mu smiled faintly and returned to his tree form. He extended his branches and lightly touched Dan Dan.
"Life Infusion, activate!"
Moments later, thick life energy poured furiously into the fragile shell.
Dan Dan absorbed it frantically, his shell shimmering with various colors.
Gun Gun watched nearby, extremely pleased.
Though Dan Dan had not hatched yet, he had already learned the Rainbow Armor Technique he had taught him.
Once the Life Infusion process finished, Yun Mu retracted his branches and transformed back into human form, looking faintly exhausted.
Yun Jin immediately handed him a bottle of Wood-attribute elixir.
Yun Mu paused, saying quickly, "Master, I can absorb it slowly. Elixirs suitable for Mahayana-stage are too precious; no need to waste them on this."
Yun Jin remained calm. "Mu Mu, since you follow me, you should get used to my style. Wushuang Sect is not short on resources. Take it. This is only a grade-seven elixir. Its quality is good, so it can affect a Mahayana cultivator. It's not as strong as a grade-nine elixir, but taking more balances it out."
She produced several porcelain bottles and said generously, "After one, there are three more. After three, another three. Trust me, any problem solvable by elixirs, we will not handle by ourselves."
Yun Mu blinked.
So that's how it works!
"Take it." Yun Jin said.
Yun Mu cautiously opened one bottle, intending to taste a single pill. Yun Jin casually tipped the whole ten-pill bottle in at once.
When quality is lacking, quantity compensates.
Yun Mu's aura visibly recovered.
"Master, I…" Yun Mu started.
Yun Jin picked up the next bottle and gave him another ten pills.
Yun Mu froze.
At his age, he felt inexplicably like he had attached himself to a powerful master.
Yun Jin repeated this for four bottles until he was fully recovered, then stopped. She frowned slightly. "Looks like I need to improve my alchemy. Even grade-seven elixirs are starting to feel insufficient."
Yun Mu looked puzzled.
The elixirs… were they made by Master herself?
Does her time flow differently from others?
"Master, I can recover slowly. There's no need to treat me specially," Yun Mu said, touched.
Special treatment?
A strange light flashed in Yun Jin's eyes.
Following her gaze, Yun Mu saw Gun Gun and Huan Huan treating a bottle of elixir like candy.
"Mu Mu, you'll get used to this," Yun Jin patted his shoulder. "Here, this is basic procedure."
All Yun Mu could do was nod.
Yun Jin looked at Yun Mu, a hint of regret in her expression. After consecutive waves, Yun Mu had provided her with a 99-hit Emotional Value chain before reaching his limit. A single early Mahayana stage spirit beast could provide a maximum of roughly 500 Emotional Value in 99 consecutive hits.
Meanwhile…
Dan Dan absorbed massive life energy, and a crack finally appeared on his rainbow shell.
Yun Jin looked on, full of anticipation.
