Chapter 665 - Unprecedented Blood Contract

Chapter 665: Unprecedented Blood Contract

Even now she continued to hold onto that assumption. Though, she wondered why Lin Jin went against Yan Shenjun despite them being in a relationship.

Was it because of unrequited love? Change of affection? Or was one of them cheating on the other?

Nonsensical probabilities filled Xiang Yun’s mind for a moment there. The more she thought about it, the more probable she felt it was the actual case.

Although she wasn’t particularly discriminative on this issue, when it happened before her, she still felt awkward.

However, a person like her would never express her discomfort.

Meanwhile, the clueless Lin Jin still assumed it was his peerless charm that made her flustered. He guided Xiang Yun through the refinement process but didn’t tell her the complete method. He couldn’t just tell her all his secrets.

At the final step, just like the blood contract method, Lin Jin had to complete it himself.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Lin Jin who controlled these spirit devouring ghost worms.

If that happened, not only would Lin Jin lose control over the ghost worms, but even Xiang Yun would be in trouble. She didn’t know how to control these worms and if she became the owner, the ghost worms would devour her instead.

In Lin Jin’s opinion, these spirit devouring ghost worms were like nuclear weapons. Without sufficient knowledge and preparation, having these weapons in hand would be like holding onto a hot potato.

“Stop!” Lin Jin called out at the right timing. He was controlling the entire process with Xiang Yun acting as his tool.

They were at the last step and Lin Jin had to take over, even though it was a high-risk procedure for Lin Jin.

Xiang Yun stopped and cast him a glance. She could tell that Lin Jin was planning to do the last step on his own, so she reminded him, “With your cultivation level, this last step will be dangerous no matter how you do it. You might even lose your life in the process.”

It was a reminder out of goodwill and Lin Jin could tell, but he had already made up his mind.

This was an opportunity for him to form a blood contract with a third pet beast. The refinement process here was an immortal grade blood contract formation offered by the Museum of Deadly Beasts.

Since it was a blood contract method, there was a chance that he would fail.

Furthermore, he was trying to form a blood pact with a third beast. Only a handful of people in the mainlands got to try this out. The princess of Thousand Island Country a rare example. However, she only succeeded in gaining three pet beasts because the egg she formed a blood contract with contained three dragons.

That was a unique condition.

Besides that situation, there was probably no other orthodox blood contract method for one to gain a third pet beast. Lin Jin was just taking advantage of the opportunity here.

The usage of an immortal grade furnace to refine the ghost worms was a blood-merging method, and the blood ghost would be the key here.

Lin Jin’s second pet beast.

The refinement process that gave Lin Jin control over the ghost worms required blood as a catalyst. This was also the most dangerous step.

Even if Yan Shenjun wanted to control the ghost worms, he would have to offer his blood, and his method must be similar to Lin Jin’s. While this method could help him control the ghost worms if a mishap happened while spellcasting, he would suffer an immediate backlash.

As the backlash comes through blood, there was nothing they could do to prevent it.

However, there was a hole in this feedback loop. While it seemed rigorous, but if it was the blood ghost who controlled the ghost worms, the backlash could be ignored.

Simply put, this was a remedy with no side effects.

It was Lin Jin who came up with this idea, rather than the museum. The museum only gave him a refinement method that required Lin Jin’s blood.

Though, Lin Jin wasn’t completely confident that his idea would work.

The blood clone he previously cultivated would be useful in this situation. As for himself, he would use Xiao Huo to enhance his strength so that should deceive the ghost worms.

Should…

After all, this was an unprecedented blood contract method. Once he succeeds, Lin Jin stood to enjoy immense benefits. He would be using the blood ghost and his blood clone to form a blood contract with a third pet beast.

Because the ghost worm wasn’t just a single worm. Of course, it could be counted as one because Lin Jin knew from the museum that these creatures could actually combine and multiply at will. They were an extraordinary species.

Lin Jin’s strength would then skyrocket. After all, he would have control over a nuclear weapon, allowing him to challenge Yan Shenjun, who was far above him in rank.

A mortal like him could kill one, or even a few half immortals.

Profound immortals, if they weren’t strong or diligent enough, might lose their lives in Lin Jin’s hands.

Just the thought of this excited and thrilled Lin Jin.

If the blood contract failed, the consequence would be… Uhm, there wouldn’t be any consequence really, because Lin Jin was using the blood clone to form a blood contract with the ghost worm. In the event of failure, the ghost worm would just attack his clone.

A huge battle would probably ensue, but no matter which side won, Lin Jin wouldn’t suffer any harm.

The blood ghost could slowly recover and continue producing enough blood to create a new clone and the ghost worm wouldn’t die even if it was severely wounded.

This was also the scariest trait of the ghost worm.

In Lin Jin’s opinion, this was a great advantage. No matter how disgusting the ghost worm appeared, in Lin Jin’s eyes, it was oh so adorable.

Lin Jin looked at Xiang Yun. His blood clone was actually a secret and he didn’t want to tell anyone.

However, he couldn’t maintain the immortal grade furnace alone and needed Xiang Yun’s help to hold it down.

He had no choice but to expose it. On second thought, it wasn’t that big a deal either.

Xiang Yun watched in awe as blood emerged from Lin Jin’s being and took the form of a human beside him.

Its features began to develop until he looked exactly like Lin Jin. Be it his facial features, clothes, figure, and even aura, they looked identical.

‘Avatar creation?’ Xiang Yun was shocked.

Avatar creation was a high-level immortal spell that even Xiang Yun wasn’t good at. Yet, Lin Jin performed it so effortlessly.

‘No, this isn’t the avatar creation I know about.’ Xiang Yun came to a realization.

She could only say this clone consolidated from blood was very much like an avatar creation, but it wasn’t the traditional immortal spell she recognized.

The clone stretched a little before walking to the furnace and then slitting his wrist to release blood into the furnace.

“Please help me keep this furnace under control,” said Lin Jin. Xiang Yun immediately snapped out of her thoughts to see the furnace shaking violently.

She invoked an immortal spell to stabilize the furnace.

Although the furnace continued to shake, it was much steadier than before so it wouldn’t fall over or shatter.

With this, Lin Jin could now begin his life’s greatest gamble. It was an unprecedented blood contract attempt that was worthy of being recorded into the history of blood contracts.
