"Treasure Beast?"
"It's actually mutated!"
Lin Jing, within the contract, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an unexpected expression.
He also sensed the transformation of the Dragon Carp now.
In this state, Lin Jing definitely didn't sense it wrong.
It's exactly the same as when the Pine Leaf Mouse mutated into a Treasure Beast during their contract.
"This..."
Lin Jing's expression halted; could the Dragon Carp also be mutating into a Treasure Beast because of the contract with him?
The Dragon Carp's mouth moved, its expression struggling, as if awakening some special power.
This scene made Lin Jing take a deep breath.
Before the contract, Lin Jing indeed didn't think about the Treasure Beast mutation anymore.
Though Elder Mo said a special constitution contracting a pet beast has a certain probability of causing mutations...
But the Pine Leaf Mouse's mutation, in Lin Jing's view, should only have been an accident.
After all, previously when he contracted the Ice Soul Gu, it had no such commotion.
This led Lin Jing to discard thoughts of Treasure Beasts during this contract, focusing solely on having the Dragon Carp transform into a dragon soon after.
Yet this sudden change gave Lin Jing a huge surprise, making him realize his situation might not be so simple after all.
"Could it be that I have some 'easy mutation constitution for pet beasts'?"
"The Ice Soul Gu didn't mutate into a Treasure Beast because of its unique life form; it inherently can't awaken Treasure Beast divine techniques. Alternatively, it may just have poor luck."
Ice Soul Gu: ?
"But if it's a normal life form like the Pine Leaf Mouse or Dragon Carp contracting with me, there's a high probability of mutating into a Treasure Beast. If that's truly the case, I shouldn't be called the Longevity Body, I should be called the Treasure Beast body!"
Lin Jing also started breathing heavily. Having a Treasure Beast like the Pine Leaf Mouse, Lin Jing naturally knew the Treasure Beast's strength. Now he only wanted to know what Treasure Beast divine technique the Dragon Carp awakened!
What type is it!
A moment later!
The contract completed, and the Dragon Carp showed a blank stare.
A vast heritage of information surged into its bloodline.
In the Dragon Carp's mind, an unknown memory quickly appeared.
As if it was an innate ability, allowing it to understand everything instinctively.
"Pop!!!" The Dragon Carp's gaze transformed from dazed to sharp.
Divine Technique, "Flame Emperor"
It can fuse different kinds of flames mastered by itself, and after fusion, the power of the flames can be greatly enhanced!
"An offensive-type divine technique..." Lin Jing slowly opened his mouth.
...
Inside the barrier, the Dragon Carp summoned its top-tier beast fire, Dragon Scale Fire.
Dragon Scale Fire appeared scaly, its fiery aura resembling a soaring dragon, possessing immense might.
Additionally, the Dragon Carp mastered the demon cultivator flame specialized in burning souls, Netherworld Ghost Fire.
Netherworld Ghost Fire appeared black, with chaotic rules, resembling twisted souls, extremely eerie.
These two flames had entirely different natures; the Netherworld Ghost Fire couldn't refine pills like Dragon Ascending Pill, and Dragon Scale Fire couldn't refine pills like Pain Relief Pill or Demon Smoke Pill.
They couldn't coexist, let alone fuse, but now, under the effect of Treasure Beast Divine Technique Flame Emperor, the Dragon Carp's two special flames began to slowly merge, and in an instant, a flame resembling a black dragon was born!
The black dragon flame spiraled around the Dragon Carp, causing black air to rise from its body, greatly increasing its strength!
"Interesting." Shen Song was observing the entire process, muttering.
"In terms of quality, it's no inferior to that extinct wild flame!"
"The high-quality flame in Yan Xiangbei's top-grade artifact?" Lin Jing asked.
In his battle with the Refining Immortal Valley disciple Yan Xiangbei, the fellow ultimately used a top-grade artifact to unleash a top-tier exotic flame, with terrifying might.
"Indeed, that exotic flame is still very strong. Even if refined by a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, it can serve as a trump card, considered a top-tier exotic flame; he simply didn't unleash much of its power. But in terms of quality... this black dragon flame isn't shabby either. Once this fish transforms into a dragon and its cultivation reaches Foundation Establishment, this black dragon flame's power might not be worse than the extinct wild flame that appeared on the arena."
"And this isn't the limit of its awakened divine technique, right?" Shen Song asked.
Lin Jing nodded, indeed.
After all, the Dragon Carp currently only mastered two special flames; if it mastered three, four, or even dozens of special flames later on, the fused flame could possibly become even more terrifying.
Maybe, it could rival immortal fire, enough to withstand heavenly tribulation such as immortal-grade lightning!
Unlike the Pine Leaf Mouse's treasure beast divine technique which synthesized resources, the Dragon Carp's awakened treasure beast divine technique seemed to entirely manifest in destructive power, a capability with an exceedingly high destructive ceiling.
No, incorrect!
Powerful flames also enormously aid in alchemy and artifact refining!
Lin Jing's lips slightly curled.
Next step is to collect more special flames for the Dragon Carp to refine!
"Pop..." Meanwhile, the Dragon Carp, encircled by black dragon flame, with sharp gaze, eagerly wanted to pull out the Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu for discussions in the tavern.
"You two..." Shen Song watched, slightly silent, also somewhat amazed, treasure beasts indeed; what is this Longevity Body after all, such heaven-defying fortune? To gain aid from two treasure beasts...
"Kid, could you be a reincarnated Immortal?" Shen Song suddenly considered a possibility, looking at Lin Jing.
"How could that be?" Lin Jing said, "At most, a reincarnated short-lived ghost, missing nothing now that was lacking in the past life..."
"Tch." Shen Song still couldn't understand.
...…
Having received the Star Universe Turtle's blessing, Lin Jing's tasks in Hidden Dragon City seemed thoroughly cleared.
Especially since the Dragon Carp's mutation was an unexpected gain.
"You're rather cheerful."
In Sky Mechanism City, at the location of the cross-domain teleportation array.
Mr. Cao saw Lin Jing, holding a Zen staff and with a gourd hanging from his waist, dressed in white, smiling continually, shook his head.
"As I said, reaching the top of the Heaven's Chosen list surely deserves happiness."
"In these days, the fortunes of Hidden Dragon flowed endlessly, a day's growth amounting to more than my previous year's." Lin Jing smiled.
Regrettably, after surpassing 30 years of age, he'd be off the list.
While the Heaven's Chosen Earth list requires contenders under 60 years old, under Nascent Soul, facing Heaven's Chosen like Ling Yue Sword Immortal at Golden Core Great Perfection capable of slaying Nascent Souls, Lin Jing had no intentions for now.
Planning to retreat for ten years, achieve Foundation Establishment Great Perfection first.
Of course, this wasn't Lin Jing's happiest matter, however, the happiest matter, apart from Shen Song, Lin Jing had no way of sharing with others yet.
"Certainly, these fortunes are enough for your cultivation for a long time."
"Prepare to embark, return to the academy, and enter closed-door training for digestion, and upon exiting, your strength will surely be impressive." Mr. Cao anticipated.
Mr. Cao had long advised Lin Jing to choose the teleportation array for return, and though Lin Jing felt the pinch, considering safety, he opted for the spatial teleportation array.
Though the spatial teleportation array was costly, besides efficiently reaching a location, it undeniably had another benefit.
That is, the process of spatial teleportation is a very good opportunity to comprehend the Path of Space.
For these arrays established by Void Profound Great Powers, the spatial channels contained numerous spatial profundities, and if someone ignorant of the Path of Space were to use it, naturally they would gain nothing. But to those with high comprehension or who've begun on the Path of Space, such a journey would yield some insights.
The Pine Leaf Mouse was precisely of this type.
However, when Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse stepped into Hidden Dragon City again, they realized they had been deceived by the marketing tactics of the Ancient Country's department managing cross-domain teleportation arrays.
"Too fast, didn't feel anything before arriving."
