Even now, she had this speculation. However, she was also doubtful. Since he had a relationship, why would he go against Lord God Gu?
Could it be that love had turned into hatred? Had he fallen in love with someone else? Was he two-timing?
All sorts of possibilities flooded Xiang Yun's mind. The more she thought about it, the more likely her speculation seemed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was the case.
Although she didn't discriminate against such things, she still felt awkward when it actually happened.
However, with her personality, she wouldn't show it no matter how awkward she felt.
Lin Jin, who was completely unaware of this, thought that his charm was boundless, and that he was currently teaching female immortal Xiang Yun some refining methods. Of course, Lin Jin didn't tell her everything about the refining method, he still had to hold back.
The final step was similar to the blood contract method. Lin Jin had to do it himself.
Otherwise, Lin Jin wouldn't be the one controlling the spirit devourer ghost worm.
If he did that, not only would Lin Jin fail to gain control over the ghost worm, but Xiang Yun would also be in trouble. After all, she didn't know how to control it. If she were the one controlling it, she would immediately be devoured by the ghost worm.
To Lin Jin, the spirit devourer ghost worm was definitely a 'nuclear weapon'. Without sufficient knowledge and preparation, even if he had this weapon in his hands, it would still be a hot potato.
"Stop!"
Lin Jin took the opportunity to shout. He had been controlling the entire process and Xiang Yun was now nothing more than a tool to him.
At the final step of the ghost worm refinement, Lin Jin had to do it himself.
Even if the process was dangerous for him.
Xiang Yun stopped immediately. She glanced at Lin Jin, probably noticing that Lin Jin was going to do the final step, so she couldn't help but remind him.
"With your cultivation level, no matter what you do, this step will be extremely dangerous. You might even lose your life." Lin Jin could tell that she was reminding him out of goodwill.
However, he had made up his mind.
This was an opportunity. An opportunity to master a third type of pet beast. The so-called refinement method was actually an immortal-grade blood contract method that Lin Jin followed the museum's instructions.
Since it was a blood contract method, there was a possibility of failure.
Not to mention, this was a third type of pet beast. Only a handful of people in Middle China would have the opportunity to try it, just like the princess of the Thousand Island Nation. However, she was only able to form a blood pact with three pet beasts because of her three-egg blood pact.
This was a special situation.
Aside from this, there was probably no other legitimate way to form a blood pact with three pet beasts. In fact, Lin Jin was trying to pull a fast one this time.
He used the immortal grade cauldron to refine the Spirit-swallowing Ghost Bug, which was actually a blood fusion technique. The key was the Ghost Blood Beast.
Lin Jin's second pet beast.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts provided the refinement method to control the Spirit-devouring Ghost Bug, but it required fresh blood. In other words, blood was the catalyst. This was a necessary step, but it was also the most dangerous step.
Even if Lord Gai wanted to control the spirit devourer ghost bug, he would have to do it with blood. It might even be similar to the method Lin Jin used. While this method could indeed control the spirit devourer ghost bug, if it failed or there was a mistake in the spell, the user would suffer a backlash.
And this backlash was impossible to defend against due to the blood source.
But in fact, there was a loophole in this correspondence. It seemed strict, but if one used blood similar to the Ghost Blood Beast to control the spirit devourer ghost bug, the backlash could be ignored.
To put it bluntly, it was like a miracle drug, one that had no side effects at all.
This idea was Lin Jin's own, not from the Museum of Deadly Beasts. The museum only had the refinement method and Lin Jin had to use his own blood.
However, Lin Jin had no idea if this method would work.
The blood clone he cultivated would come in handy now. As for Lin Jin himself, he would augment himself with Xiao Huo's strength so he could deceive the spirit devourer ghost bug.
Probably?
After all, this was an unprecedented blood pact. If it worked, Lin Jin would reap great benefits. He would be able to use the Ghost Blood Beast and his clone to form a blood pact with his third, no, third pet beast.
Because there wasn't just one spirit devourer ghost bug, it could also be considered one. Through the Museum of Deadly Beasts, Lin Jin learned that this type of ghost bug could actually fuse and split. In other words, it was a mutated species.
When that happened, Lin Jin's strength would improve by leaps and bounds. After all, he would have an additional nuclear weapon in his possession. Just like God Yan, Lin Jin could even challenge those of a higher level through the spirit devourer ghost bug.
For example, with his mortal strength, could he kill one or a few Hollow Immortals?
Even a True Immortal, if they weren't strong enough, or if they were careless, would fall at Lin Jin's hands.
Just the thought of it was thrilling.
However, if the blood pact failed, the outcome would be … uh, nothing much actually. Because Lin Jin was using the Ghost Blood Beast clone to form a blood pact with the spirit devourer ghost bug, if the pact failed, the spirit devourer ghost bug would attack the clone.
Both sides would most likely engage in a fierce battle. But no matter who won or lost, Lin Jin wouldn't suffer any damage.
The Ghost Blood Beast clone could continue to use the blood of the main body to slowly recover. As for the spirit devourer ghost bug, even if it was severely injured, it wouldn't die.
This was also the scariest thing about this ghost bug.
To Lin Jin, this was a huge advantage. Hence, even though these ghost bugs looked horrifying and disgusting, they were still adorable in Lin Jin's eyes.
Lin Jin glanced at Xiang Yun. His ghostly blood clone was Lin Jin's biggest secret. Logically speaking, he wouldn't want to expose it to anyone.
However, he couldn't maintain the immortal-grade pellet furnace on his own so he could only let Xiang Yun handle it.
Hence, even if it was exposed, it wasn't that big of a deal.
And so, Xiang Yun watched as a strange blob of blood flowed out of Lin Jin's body and condensed beside him. Slowly, it coalesced into a human figure.
This human figure began to change until it looked almost identical to Lin Jin. Be it his facial features, physique, clothes, or even his aura, it was exactly the same.
"Avatar?" Immortal Xiang Yun was shocked.
Cloning was a high-level immortal spell that even she wasn't proficient in. Yet, Lin Jin was able to cast it so effortlessly.
"That's not right. This isn't a clone that I know of." Xiang Yun immediately came to a realization.
It could only be said that this doppelganger that was condensed from a ball of strange blood was very similar to an External Incarnation, but it was not a high-end immortal technique in the traditional sense.
The clone stretched its limbs before walking up to the pellet furnace. Then, it slit its wrist and let out a mouthful of blood, pouring it into the furnace.
"Fairy, please stabilize the pellet furnace," Lin Jin said. Xiang Yun immediately came to her senses because the inside of the pellet furnace had begun to shake violently. The tremors were getting more and more intense.
Hence, she immediately invoked an immortal spell to stabilize the furnace.
Although the pellet furnace was still shaking, it was stabilized so it wouldn't topple over or break.
That was how Lin Jin was able to make this unprecedented gamble, a blood contract that would go down in the annals of beast appraisers' history.
