Now, Lin Jin was using layers of water vapor to nourish Xiao Huo. At the same time, he took out the Purple Thunder Needle and tossed it inside to help stabilize Xiao Huo's condition. Finally, two hours later, Xiao Huo's near-uncontrollable state finally turned for the better.
Although it had only been two hours, Lin Jin's clothes were drenched in sweat. If it weren't for the ghost-blood beast's support, Lin Jin's mortal body would have collapsed long ago.
Now that Lin Jin had done everything he could and Weeping Fruit's condition had improved, Lin Jin had used up all of his trump cards. If Xiao Huo still couldn't evolve into Rank 7, Lin Jin had no choice but to accept his fate.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jin plopped down on the cloud and began resting.
Time passed slowly, and at a certain moment, the originally rhythmically pulsating fruit suddenly stopped.
Lin Jin looked up with a smile on his face.
It was done!
Boom!
The cloud of fire dispersed and was separated by red and white.
The red went up while the white dissipated.
The white cloud was still the storm beast lair while the red cloud of fire was Xiao Huo.
The cloud of fire rose into the air and transformed into a giant fire wolf before slowly condensing back into Xiao Huo's original form.
The current Xiao Huo no longer had that extraordinary flaming fur and crimson eyes. He looked just like any other ordinary fire wolf Lin Jin had encountered in the beginning.
What was this called?
Returning to simplicity.
A very impressive realm.
If it were a human, it would be the realm of a true immortal. But if it were a beast, it would be Rank 7.
He had finally succeeded.
Lin Jin let out a long sigh. Today was definitely a fortuitous encounter and one that lasted only for a brief moment. If he had hesitated, if he didn't have enough fire energy, Xiao Huo's advancement would have been a dream.
But Lin Jin grasped it all.
"Rank 7. Xiao Huo, you must've never dared to dream of this before." Lin Jin raised his hand and Xiao Huo walked over obediently. Lin Jin caressed the wolf's head with a wistful expression.
Xiao Huo whimpered, clearly understanding Lin Jin's words and agreeing wholeheartedly.
Indeed, Lin Jin never thought that an ordinary Rank 1 fire wolf would one day evolve into Rank 7.
What kind of concept was Rank 7? In the Central Plains, one could do whatever they wanted. At his peak, Patriarch Xue Pao was only at the initial stage of Rank 7.
In other words, if Xiao Huo was possessed by a wicked person, he could wreak havoc in Middle Earth once he returned.
This was absolute power, absolute strength.
Furthermore, Xiao Huo would not be threatened by the ninth-stage Immortal Swallowing Beast. This was the most terrifying thing.
Even in the Outworld, a seventh level beast was definitely a powerhouse that could take charge of an area. After all, how many True Immortals were there in this place?
Moreover, other than Xiao Huo, Lin Jin still had the Spectral Blood Beast that had fused with the spirit eater ghost bug. The spirit eater ghost bug was terrifying, its lethality even surpassing the current Rank 7 Xiao Huo.
Hence, Lin Jin had basically made up for all of his shortcomings. If he encountered God Lord Man again, Lin Jin could chase after him and beat him up. It was a pity that God Lord Man must have died in the hands of the sky mending spider. Otherwise, Lin Jin could test Xiao Huo's combat strength on him.
Lin Jin took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
If Lin Jin was completely clueless about this, if he had a Rank 7 pet beast, he would definitely wake up laughing even in his dreams. He would also be able to relax and live a leisurely and comfortable life from then on. He would be able to enjoy life leisurely because he no longer had to fear any threats.
What premium country? Which country would dare to go up against a Rank 7 pet beast?
That would be suicidal.
Unfortunately, Lin Jin wasn't completely clueless about this world. On the contrary, he knew too much.
Although Lin Jin wouldn't walk down the same path as the Daolord, wouldn't pursue his own path of immortality and wouldn't become an immortal himself, that Rank 9 immortal devouring beast was a giant sword hanging over his head.
Who knew if it would one day attack Xiao Huo or even Lin Jin himself?
Lin Jin couldn't be at ease. Also, there were many strong people in this foreign land. Knowing this, Lin Jin suddenly felt that Rank 7 Xiao Huo was no longer a good choice.
After all, there was still Rank 8 and finally Rank 9.
To truly live a worry-free life, Xiao Huo had to reach Rank 9.
The ghost blood beast was no longer a viable option and so was Lin Jin's third pet beast, the spirit devouring ghost worm. Now that these two pet beasts were fused into one, they were fixed at Rank 6 to Rank 7, allowing them to unleash destructive power surpassing that of a Rank 7 pet beast.
Lin Jin had also avoided the spirit devouring ghost worm's drawbacks and side effects, but the price he had to pay was that his second and third blood contract beasts could no longer level up.
Xiao Huo was the only hope left for his blood contract beasts.
Of course, as a meticulous and reliable person, Lin Jin still had a backup plan, and that was Han Xiong.
Han Xiong was now Rank 7 and to be honest, his potential was higher than Xiao Huo's. After all, Han Xiong had a higher starting point.
If Xiao Huo couldn't reach Rank 9, Lin Jin would try his best to help Han Xiong. Of course, when that happened, Lin Jin would also think of a way to control Han Xiong. Otherwise, he wouldn't be confident.
However, this was all for later. Lin Jin would still focus all his attention on Xiao Huo. Only with Xiao Huo's improvement could Lin Jin truly control the situation.
Lin Jin patted Xiao Huo on the head. Understanding his intention, Xiao Huo immediately turned into a cloud of fire and burrowed into Lin Jin's arm.
"What a powerful enhancement!"
Lin Jin shuddered, but it was mostly due to excitement. The blood contract allowed the owner to borrow the pet beast's strength to enhance themselves. Now that Xiao Huo had reached Rank 7, his strength was ten times stronger than before. Lin Jin obviously felt it the most.
Although Lin Jin was only a mortal now, if he were to fight with his physique, even a pseudo immortal might not stand a chance against him.
This could be considered a shortcut, a completely different path.
Perhaps even the expert who created the path of blood contracts never thought that one day, a pet beast with a blood contract could reach the level of a true immortal.
Even if it was only ten percent of the pet beast's strength gained through the blood contract, it was still a tremendous boost to the owner.
Recalling Xiao Huo, Lin Jin got up and patted the white cloud beside him. With the evaluation report in hand, he walked out of the inner layer of clouds.
The storm beast lair was fine. It just needed some time to recuperate. Lin Jin would also inform Sage Mystic Moon and Immortal Drifting Cloud that they could no longer let the storm beast lair produce smaller storm beasts. That was a form of self-harm.
Even if the smaller storm beasts weren't created, the storm beast lair could still unleash the combat power of a true immortal when the Cloud Path Sect was in danger. This was of utmost importance to the Cloud Path Sect.
Xuan Dao Sect had the immortal kirin beast and recently, Han Xiong, a Rank 7 giant bear beast. Their strength was unprecedentedly strong. The Cloud Path Sect wasn't weak either. If the storm beast lair was utilized properly, the sect would have at least two true immortals guarding the sect.
Given time, the storm beast lair could recover its strength and become even stronger than a Rank 8 pet beast.
