Lin Feng said, "Senior Jiaolong, to be honest, although Junior possesses an excellent Fire-Wood Dual Spiritual Root Aptitude, and my Cultivation speed far surpasses my peers."
"However, inside Junior's body, there is a strange Yin and Yang fish pattern. Every time Junior Cultivates to Qi Refining Stage 7, this Yin and Yang fish pattern absorbs all of Junior's cultivation."
The Jiaolong Dragon Soul was half-believing, its lantern-sized eyes looking towards Lin Feng's Dantian location.
Just then, a purple-gold light flew out from Lin Feng's Dantian location.
The purple-gold light flashed once and appeared above Lin Feng and the Jiaolong Dragon Soul, transforming into a purple furnace.
The purple furnace had three legs and two ears, and its body bore a Yin and Yang fish pattern.
The Yin and Yang fish pattern rapidly rotated, and before the Jiaolong Dragon Soul could react, it emitted a black and white light that enveloped the Jiaolong Dragon Soul.
"Roar!"
The Jiaolong Dragon Soul's expression changed drastically, letting out a high-pitched Dragon roar.
This black and white light possessed a terrifying suction force, pulling at the Jiaolong Dragon Soul's body, as if wanting to completely devour the Jiaolong Dragon Soul.
"Who are you, and why are you hidden inside his body!"
"Hahahaha..."
As an aged laugh rang out, a flash of light appeared on the purple-gold furnace, revealing a White-Haired Old Man.
The White-Haired Old Man wore a Daoist robe embroidered with a Yin and Yang fish, and his body was also illusory, not solid.
However, the aura emanating from him was extremely powerful, even stronger than the aura from the Jiaolong Dragon Soul.
His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through everything, making people dare not look directly at him.
"It's you!"
"Hahahaha... Little mud loach, we meet again."
Listening to their conversation, it seemed they had known each other for a long time.
"I am Wuchen Zi of Nine Heavens Palace."
"You, a mere mud loach, actually dare to attempt Possession? Are you not afraid of the Heavenly Dao sending down punishment, causing your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, never to reincarnate!"
Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded, never expecting there to be someone else inside his body.
It seemed his cultivation decrease was definitely related to this Wuchen Zi.
Thinking of this, anger rose in Lin Feng's heart.
If not for this Wuchen Zi, he might have already been preparing for Foundation Establishment.
Why would he be stuck at Qi Refining Stage 3 like this, enduring the disdain and ridicule of others?
However, at this moment, preserving his life was paramount, so Lin Feng could only suppress his anger in his heart.
"Wuchen Zi, aren't you the same? You entered his body, wasn't it for Possession? Are you not afraid of the Heavenly Dao sending down punishment, resulting in your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, never to reincarnate!"
"This Old Man entered the body of Young Friend Lin Feng not for Possession."
Lin Feng felt a slight relief upon hearing this, but he still dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Not for Possession? Then why are you here!"
"As for why, you don't need to know, because you are about to be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"
Wuchen Zi let out a loud shout, pointing his hand seals downwards. The Yin and Yang fish pattern on the purple-gold furnace immediately accelerated its rotation.
"Roar!"
"You want to refine me? Dream on!"
The Jiaolong Dragon Soul let out a Dragon roar, resisting the pulling force with all its might.
"A mere third-rank Jiaolong Dragon Soul, still trying to resist! Why don't you obediently accept death!"
Wuchen Zi shouted again, pointing another finger, making the Yin and Yang fish pattern rotate so fast it was hard to discern with the naked eye. The Jiaolong Dragon Soul then began to slowly shrink, with some of its energy being absorbed into the furnace.
"Lin Feng! Why aren't you helping! If I become Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, you won't have a good end either!"
Lin Feng's eyes flickered, unsure whether he should help, or how he should help.
Wuchen Zi's expression changed as he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Young Friend, this Old Man entered your body merely to use your Spiritual Qi to heal my injuries."
"Now that I have this Jiaolong Dragon Soul, as long as this Old Man refines this Jiaolong Dragon Soul, my injuries will be mostly healed, and I will no longer absorb your Spiritual Qi in the future!"
"Don't believe him!"
The Jiaolong Dragon Soul quickly shouted, "If he refines me, he definitely won't let you go. You will forever be his cultivation cauldron, forever a good-for-nothing!"
Lin Feng quickly thought, and soon made a decision.
"Senior Jiaolong, Senior Wuchen Zi has been in Junior's body for five years, and besides absorbing Junior's Spiritual Qi, he has done nothing else to Junior."
"However, Senior Jiaolong, the moment we met, you wanted to perform Possession on Junior. Junior truly cannot guarantee that if Junior helps you this time, it won't backfire, leading to a demise where my body perishes and my Dao vanishes."
"Lin Feng, as long as you help me this once, I can swear to the heavens that I will absolutely not perform Possession on you again!"
"Junior does not believe your oath!"
Lin Feng naturally would not entrust his life to a vague and ethereal oath.
"You don't even believe an oath, then what do you want?" The Jiaolong Dragon Soul let out an angry roar.
Lin Feng slowly said, "Unless Senior Jiaolong has a way to prevent you from performing Possession on Junior, or even if you attempt Possession, it will not succeed!"
At this moment, the Jiaolong Dragon Soul's body had already shrunk by a third. If there was any further delay, it might truly be refined by Wuchen Zi.
The Jiaolong Dragon Soul's copper bell-sized eyes stared intently at Lin Feng, hesitation flickering within them.
Lin Feng possessed an excellent Fire-Wood Dual Spiritual Root Aptitude. If Wuchen Zi had not absorbed his Qi Refining, he would at least be at Qi Refining Stage 12 by now, if not already at Foundation Establishment.
If Wuchen Zi no longer absorbed Lin Feng's Spiritual Qi in the future, with Lin Feng's excellent Fire-Wood Dual Spiritual Root Aptitude, even though he had been delayed for a few years, his future achievements would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
"Lin Feng! If you make him stop, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master!"
"Acknowledge me as your master!"
Lin Feng's heart was filled with joy, but he showed no trace of it on his face.
"That's right, as long as I acknowledge you as my master, I will no longer be able to perform Possession on you!"
"Good!"
"Senior Wuchen Zi, please show mercy. How about we sit down and have a good talk?"
"Lin Feng, have you thought it through? If this Old Man releases him now, and he becomes a threat to you in the future, don't blame this Old Man for not warning you!"
"Senior Wuchen Zi, Junior has already thought it through. Please, Senior, show mercy."
Lin Feng bowed to Wuchen Zi.
"Wuchen Zi, stop at once!"
The Jiaolong Dragon Soul let out a roar.
Wuchen Zi's face showed hesitation. If he released the Jiaolong Dragon Soul now, allowing it to acknowledge Lin Feng as its master, and the two of them joined forces, he would no longer be able to absorb Lin Feng's Spiritual Qi to heal his injuries in the future.
Seeing that Wuchen Zi still had no intention of stopping, the Jiaolong Dragon Soul shouted:
"Lin Feng, quickly attack the Yin and Yang fish pattern below him!"
"That furnace is his Lifebound Treasure, and he has already become the artifact spirit of his Lifebound Treasure!"
"Senior Wuchen Zi, please show mercy!"
Lin Feng shouted loudly, striking a pose as if preparing to act.
"Hmph!"
Wuchen Zi snorted coldly and shouted, "Lin Feng, this Old Man is advising you kindly, don't be ungrateful!"
"Do you really think that with just a little brat at Qi Refining Stage 3, you can threaten this Old Man!"
"Today, no one can stop this Old Man from refining this Dragon Soul!"
Wuchen Zi pointed at the purple-gold furnace below him again, and the suction force of the Yin and Yang fish pattern increased by several points, causing the Jiaolong Dragon Soul to rapidly shrink, its roars of anger incessant.
"Then Junior will have to offend you!"
Lin Feng no longer hesitated either, quickly forming hand seals to cast a spell, and a green wooden sword rapidly took shape.
