When the two spirit beasts were fighting, Yun Jin did not intervene.
They're all children, when children fight, what business did the adults have to join in?
After they finished fighting, Yun Jin leisurely said, "Come in when you're done."
Gun Gun looked at the Illusion Fox Cat proudly and went in first.
The Illusion Fox Cat felt wronged, but could only obediently follow behind Gun Gun.
When the two children both came in, Yun Jin said, "Gun Gun, you are my first spirit beast. No matter how many spirit beasts I contract in the future, you will always be the older brother. From now on, you must take care of the younger brothers and sisters who come later, understand?"
Yun Jin spoke earnestly.
There's no other way.
This time she had rashly brought back a second baby, so she had to comfort the big baby's feelings.
Fortunately Gun Gun was easy to handle. The moment it heard Yun Jin officially certify it as the big brother, it proudly raised its head.
Originally, the Illusion Fox Cat wanted to pounce into Yun Jin's arms the moment it saw her.
However, this time it looked at Yun Jin with grievance and didn't dare to move.
"Come." Yun Jin beckoned, and only then did the Illusion Fox Cat leap up and return to the arms that made it feel extremely comfortable.
Yun Jin said gently, "Huan Huan, your greatest strengths were never combat. You don't need to care too much about a momentary defeat. Also, Gun Gun has been training with me for several months, its skill levels may be higher than yours. Once you raise your skill levels in the future, it'll be fine."
Is the Master comforting it?
Huan Huan's big eyes immediately grew moist.
It impatiently reached out a paw, urging Yun Jin to formally contract it quickly.
"Gun Gun." Yun Jin glanced at Gun Gun. "After the contract, I will officially begin training Huan Huan, so don't be surpassed."
Gun Gun, who knew how miraculous Yun Jin's spells were, immediately became nervous.
Right now Huan Huan's spiritual power was higher than its own, and the spirit beast grade was also higher.
The reason it could win was mainly because of the advantage in skill levels.
But with the Master's training, Huan Huan would surely catch up quickly.
To maintain the position of the boss, it still had to work hard!
Gun Gun waved its chubby bear paw, "Master, I won't lose!"
Iron-Eating Beasts were combative by nature, it wouldn't fear a challenge!
Yun Jin smiled and then initiated the contracting ceremony.
After the contract ended, with a single thought from Yun Jin, Huan Huan was sent into her beast space opened within her sea of consciousness.
Compared to the beast taming pouch, the beast space was more comfortable for spirit beasts. Staying there long-term could even be somewhat beneficial to their cultivation.
After ascending to Golden Core Stage, Yun Jin had two beast slots.
After contracting Huan Huan, the slots were full.
To contract a third, she would have to wait until Nascent Soul Stage.
After contracting, a panel for the Illusion Fox Cat appeared in the system.
"Illusion Fox Cat: Upper-grade Spirit Beast.
Level: Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Skills: Eavesdropping Technique Lv.2.
Illusion Technique Lv.2.
Claw Strike Lv.2.
Passive Skill: Agility Lv.2."
Obviously, when Liuli raised this Illusion Fox Cat, she cultivated it in a balanced direction.
Now Huan Huan's skills were all balanced at level two.
After breaking through the Golden Core Stage, this kind of spirit beast could choose between two cultivation directions.
The fox path, or cat path.
By then, the specific direction would have to be discussed with Huan Huan itself.
Leaving aside combat skills, Huan Huan's two auxiliary skills right now: Eavesdropping Technique and Illusion Technique, were both very useful to Yun Jin.
Yun Jin planned to use some simplification attempts on these to quickly raise the levels of the two skills.
Also, the two spirit beasts' levels had to be caught up quickly.
She had to find time to refine another batch of pills that increased spiritual power.
Yun Jin was pondering the subsequent plan.
Suddenly,
Her brow slightly furrowed.
At the door.
A few suppressed muffled groans came.
Yun Jin sensed something wrong with Gu Jinghong's condition.
She immediately walked out the door.
Gu Jinghong had already collapsed to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were tightly clawing at the soil on the ground. He gripped so hard that his fingernails were bleeding profusely.
Yun Jin immediately reacted.
Gu Jinghong's Blood Qi Art had erupted.
To suppress the Blood Qi Art, one had to drink fresh blood.
Human blood or beast blood, either would do.
Previously, Gu Jinghong survived each outbreak by buying beast blood.
But after becoming Yun Jin's servant, he had endured them through gritted teeth and no longer touched blood.
After being triggered several times by Ye Danxia last time, he had barely suppressed it. These months he almost dared not use spiritual power, but it's been too long. Even without using spiritual power, it could no longer be suppressed.
"Master." Gu Jinghong saw Yun Jin come out and showed a terrified expression. "Master, you don't need to worry about me. I'll try my best to suppress it!"
He trembled and the veins in his body bulged in pain, but his voice was very steady, and he even forced a smile toward Yun Jin.
Gu Jinghong knew.
He must look very ugly in this state.
He didn't want Yun Jin to see him like this…
But…
That yearning to suck fresh blood rose layer by layer.
He tried hard to control it, but he simply couldn't.
If the Master saw him in this state, would he…be abandoned again?
This time, the suffering of the Blood Qi Art's eruption had somewhat subsided, replaced by endless panic.
He didn't want to be abandoned, he really didn't want to!
Yun Jin looked at Gu Jinghong, who was struggling to endure the pain, and felt complicated.
In her previous life, he had tormented her many times.
In this life she spared his life not only to repay past torments, but also because he died slaying demons in his previous life.
Because of that, Yun Jin didn't kill him.
Now.
This man who in his previous life had tormented her many times bowed low before her like a dog.
However.
Is she happy?
Not necessarily.
She wasn't a pervert, torturing others didn't give her any pleasure.
Yun Jin quietly watched Gu Jinghong.
She was contemplating.
Whether to save him.
If she only wanted to torture him and avenge past life grievances, it would be enough after a few months. Yun Jin no longer had the heart to continue playing with him.
After playing enough, she could use the contract to kill Gu Jinghong at will, or simply ignore him and let him die under the backlash of the Blood Qi Art.
"Master, don't look at me. I look terrible right now." Gu Jinghong struggled, flatteringly saying.
Yun Jin looked at him for a long time and sighed.
She said softly, "Gu Jinghong, I will definitely become an immortal. Before I ascend to immortality, you are my servant. When I become an immortal, I will set you free. In that way, between us, we'll call it even."
Call it even?
How could it be even!
Gu Jinghong grew fearful, "Master, you need not set me free. In this life, Gu Jinghong is Master's servant."
Yun Jin took his words as flattery and did not put much weight on them. She said calmly, "I can help you dissolve your Blood Qi Art. But this will count as you owing me a favor, you must find a way to repay me."
"Anything will do." Gu Jinghong hurriedly said. "This life of mine already belongs to Master."
Yun Jin ignored him, she had her own set of principles.
"System, simplify Blood Qi Art." Yun Jin issued the command.
