"Human pets, yes, I want to take human pets!"
After Shen Song spoke, the Ice Soul Gu was the first to agree.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the Ice Soul Gu had great confidence in defeating the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp.
However, upon seeing the Pine Leaf Mouse controlling numerous Blood Mosquitoes, the Ice Soul Gu suddenly realized it lacked something.
The Dragon Carp had pills available that could greatly enhance combat power.
The Pine Leaf Mouse also stockpiled many combat resources, with many trump cards.
But it, just freshly born, had nothing.
The Ice Soul Gu believed this was the key reason it initially lost to the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp.
Therefore, to enhance its strength, the Ice Soul Gu, prompted by Shen Song, developed the idea of taking "human pets."
Lin Jing indeed had the ability to take "human pets."
This ability was embodied by the Ice Soul Gu.
As the emperor of Gu, the Ice Soul Gu, besides using Gu poison to directly control other creatures, could also "nurture" sub-Gu.
This sub-Gu was equivalent to a miniature version of the Ice Soul Gu, controlled by the mother Gu, with weakened Ice Soul Gu abilities.
The Ice Soul Gu had a way to parasite the sub-Gu into others, not only granting them power but also controlling them through the sub-Gu.
Due to its recent awakening, the Ice Soul Gu hadn’t fully exploited its abilities, before being bullied in turns by the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp.
"Even the Ice Soul Gu’s sub-Gu, ordinary cultivators can’t bear its power; at least an Ice Spirit Body or a Fire Spirit Body is required."
"However, even if it’s an Ice Spirit Body or a Fire Spirit Body, the abilities are too singular. Although an Ice Spirit Body can maximize the power of the Ice Soul sub-Gu, the extreme cold power might not necessarily be a good thing. Ice on top of ice, if the constitution can’t bear it, it will become a burden and freeze itself to death."
"For example, as you merge with the Ice Soul Gu’s power, your appearance changes significantly, which indicates bodily stress. With frequent use, the body inevitably can’t bear it."
"In comparison, a Fire Spirit Body makes it easier to become a vessel for the Ice Soul Gu. Although it can’t perfectly utilize the Ice Soul Gu’s power, at least the body remains relatively stable."
"Therefore, to perfectly control the Ice Soul Gu, it’s best to possess both ice and fire attributes. On one hand, you can completely adapt to the Ice Soul Gu’s power, and on the other, you can suppress the Ice Soul Gu’s power."
"But having both ice and fire bodies is undoubtedly difficult. Like you, you can only later contract the Fire Dragon Carp to gain fire power."
"However, twins, sharing thoughts and powers, have a chance to become cultivators possessing both ice and fire powers simultaneously. Ordinary cultivators can only practice one cultivation technique, but twins, with shared power, can practice two techniques."
"Have them practice a powerful ice attribute cultivation technique and a powerful fire attribute cultivation technique, then bestow them with the Ice Soul Gu sub-Gu. They will become your sharp blade, one of the few perfect vessels for unleashing the Ice Soul sub-Gu’s power."
"Of course, this is just one use for twins," Shen Song suggested with a chuckle. "As the vessels cultivate the sub-Gu, the mother Gu, like a Beast Taming Sect cultivator, will receive feedback, growing even stronger!"
"It’s a valid means to cultivate the Ice Soul Gu!"
"I see," Lin Jing hesitated a bit, then shook his head. Although twins could be suitable vessels for cultivating the Ice Soul Gu sub-Gu, isn’t this forcing people to become Demon Gu Cultivators?
Unless, they willingly agree.
Seeing Lin Jing silent for a long time, the twins didn’t dare to speak, until Lin Jing spoke again: "Celestial Water City, Jiang Family."
"What level is that cultivation family?"
"Report to senior, the Jiang Family has an early-stage Golden Core ancestor," the girl twin answered.
Lin Jing nodded: "No wonder you two were targeted by the Yin Corpse Sect, an ancestor in the early stage of the Golden Core might not be able to protect you."
"Now, you two have two choices, one is that I will send you back to the family."
"The second is to stay by my side, and I will give you power."
The twins’ eyes were full of panic. With shared thoughts, they knew each other’s ideas without words or glances.
"He said he’d send us back?"
"Don’t believe him, we’ve seen too much we shouldn’t have, how could we safely return, he’d definitely silence us."
"He’s testing if we can obediently comply, his purpose surely aligns with the Yin Corpse Sect, targeting our bodies."
"Senior, spare us, we are willing to serve by your side..." The twins kept pleading.
"...Who’s going to kill you." Lin Jing said speechlessly: "Think carefully, sending you back to the family at most makes you forget some things."
"And staying by my side may not be good either, but as long as you obey, it won’t take long before you both become the strongest members of your family."
"Senior... I dare ask, what do we need to do staying by your side," the twin boy swallowed and asked.
Lin Jing chuckled: "Not much, just to let you become vessels to raise two Gu insects. Rest assured, with your constitution, as long as you cooperate, these Gu insects won’t affect you. Instead, they’ll become your strongest partners."
The twins were taken aback, Gu insect vessels?
"We’ll do whatever the senior says...we won’t go back," the girl twin spoke nervously. Compared to falling into the hands of the Yin Corpse Sect, they were more willing to accept the Gu God Sect a bit.
In the Yin Corpse Sect’s hands, they’d either be seized or turned into corpse puppets, but with the Gu God Sect, they’d just deal with venomous insects at most.
"Have you thought it over?" Lin Jing asked.
"We’ve thought it over, we’re willing to follow you," after exchanging opinions, the twins said nervously.
"Alright, in that case, we’ll first visit your family, so you can report safety. Then we’ll leave the empty domain," Lin Jing said slowly.
"We can go home and report safety??" the twins were stunned.
"I said I’m a good person." The source of this content ɪs n0velfire.net
The twins nodded enthusiastically.
"By the way, what cultivation techniques are you two practicing, and do they have attributes?" Lin Jing asked.
He looked at the twins, both at Qi Cultivation seventh level, around fifteen or sixteen years old, luckily their cultivation wasn’t high.
"Reporting to senior, it’s the family’s ’Nine Revolutions Pure Essence Technique,’ a non-attribute cultivation technique known for fast cultivation speed."
"Hmm," Lin Jing nodded, "For the time being, don’t practice, prepare to switch techniques. The Nine Revolutions Pure Essence Technique is neither good nor bad but not suitable for you in the future."
"I’ll find you new cultivation techniques to replace the Nine Revolutions Pure Essence Technique."
Saying this, Lin Jing fell into thought, realizing he didn’t have decent ice or fire cultivation techniques and might have to search for them.
