I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

Cao Kun knew very well that this was his only way to survive.

Losing the bet simply brought forward the three months of barely surviving to today.

If you win the gamble, the future is bright!

[Mission Points - 1000]

[Soul-Trapping Spirit-Attracting Pill successfully redeemed]

A cold, discreet notification sounded in my mind.

A bright red pill appeared out of thin air in Cao Kun's withered palm.

The pill was small, about the size of a longan, but its surface was surrounded by a strange, dark green wisp of smoke.

Cao Kun moved closer and took a deep sniff.

It has no taste.

That's it?

Can this thing really attract spirit beasts?

"This doesn't look like a legitimate pill at all... Does the system shop sell substandard products?"

Cao Kun was filled with unease, feeling as if he had been scammed by the system.

Before he could think further,

The system notification sounded again!

And the speed of his speech is getting faster and faster!

This made Cao Kun's heart pound.

[Warning! This spirit beast has entered the host's 100-meter radius!]

[Warning! Fifty meters!]

Ten meters!

Ten meters?!

Holy crap, that was fast!

Cao Kun held his breath, his muscles tensed, and he stared nervously at the wooden door at the entrance.

He was very curious about this beginner quest, which the system rated as hellish in difficulty.

What exactly is that so-called top-grade spirit beast?

A blue-faced, fanged creature? A gaping, blood-red mouth?

Or is it a prehistoric behemoth that could smash his dilapidated wooden house to pieces with a single slap?

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as Cao Kun was lost in thought...

Three knocks, neither too loud nor too soft, came from outside the door.

This surprised Cao Kun for a moment.

Are there really such polite spirit beasts? They even knock on the door before coming to eat people?

Immediately afterwards, a series of seductive, alluring voices, so soft they seemed to melt your heart, pierced through the door and entered his ears.

"My good disciple, your master has come to see you!"

Cao Kun's mind went blank.

That sound...

Is it Yu Linglong?!

That sly fox, why did she have to come at this time of year?

Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself?

Grass!

There was no movement from inside the house for a long time.

Yu Linglong outside the door seemed to be getting impatient, or perhaps she didn't take him seriously at all; her voice carried a hint of reproachful laughter.

"Then, your teacher will come in by himself~"

squeak-

The old wooden door was gently pushed open by a slender hand.

Yu Linglong swayed her serpentine waist as she gracefully walked in.

She wore a purple dress that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure.

Her skirt slit high, revealing a pair of shapely, long, and snow-white legs that appeared and disappeared as she walked.

Her long purple hair was casually draped behind her, making her already charming face even more alluring.

Upon seeing Cao Kun's venerable face, which resembled the bark of an old tree.

Yu Linglong feigned surprise and covered her red lips, then complained coquettishly.

"Oh my, my precious disciple, it's only been a few decades, how come you've aged so much?"

"Is it because your master isn't around that you haven't been cultivating diligently? What a disobedient child."

Cao Kun stared straight at her, his eyes devoid of any infatuation, only filled with a chilling coldness.

This woman is truly beautiful.

Purple clothes and purple hair, long legs, a slender waist, and those magnificent breasts that almost burst out of her clothes.

Every frown and smile is full of charm.

Unfortunately, Cao Kun wasn't in the mood to appreciate this slut's figure right now.

His mind was filled with thoughts of how to get her to leave as soon as possible.

Instead of being annoyed by his stare, Yu Linglong giggled.

"Hey~ you little rascal, why are you staring at my legs like that~"

As she spoke, her delicate, jade-like fingers actually rested on her smooth thigh, slowly sliding upwards along the slit of her skirt, her movements extremely provocative.

"Recently, your master has taken in another junior sister for you."

"However, her physique is somewhat special; she possesses an exceptionally rare Ice Spirit Physique, one in ten thousand."

"It's because the cold poison in my body is too heavy, and I need a pure yang spiritual root to neutralize it."

As Yu Linglong spoke, she turned towards Cao Kun.

"Disciple, although your top-grade Fiery Sun Spiritual Root has had its potential almost completely absorbed by your master, its foundation remains."

"Since your lifespan is almost over anyway, why not do your master one last favor and contribute your remaining spiritual roots to save your junior sister?"

"Then... I can let you touch my leg~"

Just then, that damned system notification sounded in my mind once again, at an inopportune moment.

[Warning! This spirit beast has entered within five meters of the host!]

Cao Kun was startled.

What's going on?

Five meters?

He subconsciously looked around. The dilapidated house was completely exposed, and there was no one else besides him and this vixen.

Where did this mythical beast come from?

Could it be...

An absurd idea popped into his mind.

No way?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

As Yu Linglong drew closer, the fragrance in the room grew even stronger.

[The spirit beast has entered within three meters of the host. Please capture it as soon as possible!]

The system notification tone continued to sound.

Real hammer!

She is that top-grade spirit beast!

No wonder! No wonder it's hell difficulty!

The beginner's quest asks a cripple at the seventh level of Qi Refining to capture a Golden Core cultivator?

Damn system, you might as well just stab me and be done with it!

Cao Kun felt that his worldview had been impacted like never before.

But then, a surge of ecstasy welled up inside him.

If this Soul-Attracting Pill really works on her...

So today, it's not her turn to take her own life!

Instead, it is he himself who has come to avenge the blood debt!

"Your life is about to end?"

Cao Kun suddenly raised his head, his face no longer showing the deathly look from before, but instead displaying a wicked smile.

"I'm afraid I cannot grant your wish, Master!"

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, seemingly surprised by his reaction.

"Oh?"

"My disciple recently obtained a heaven-defying elixir by sheer luck. While it may not grant immortality, it would more than add five hundred years to my lifespan!"

As he spoke, Cao Kun flicked his wrist and tossed the crimson "Soul-Trapping Spirit-Attracting Pill" into the air!

The rich fragrance of cinnabar quickly spread.

Of course, only spirit beasts could smell the fragrance; in Cao Kun's eyes, it still had no scent at all.

However, in Yu Linglong's perception, this fragrance of elixir was extremely rich!

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were instantly captivated!

Such a rich and intense fragrance.

She had never seen it even in the Hehuan Sect's elixir storehouse!

Yu Linglong was almost certain that what Cao Kun said was true!

This is truly a miraculous pill for prolonging life that can defy fate!

Just as the pill was about to fall and return to Cao Kun's hands.

Yu Linglong could no longer hold back!

"Really? That's wonderful."

"Such a treasure would be a waste to keep it on someone as useless as you. I will keep it safe for you!"

She chuckled sweetly, raised her delicate hand, and gently hooked the falling pill.

The pill immediately changed direction and flew towards Yu Linglong's palm.

"Yu Linglong! No...!"

Cao Kun's face showed a look of extreme fear. He struggled to get off the bed and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Giggle giggle..."

Yu Linglong let out a string of silvery laughter, extremely pleased with herself.

"To address one's master by his full name is extremely disrespectful."

"Consider this pill my filial offering to your master..."

Before she could finish speaking, her laughter abruptly stopped.

An irresistible stiffness spread throughout her body, starting from the fingers that touched the pill!

Even the surging golden core spiritual power within his body could not be mobilized in the slightest!

She remained in the posture of reaching for the pill, her whole being becoming a beautiful sculpture.

Upon seeing this, the look of terror on Cao Kun's face vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was a long-suppressed, wild and unrestrained laughter.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

"How is it, my dear Master!"

"What belongs to Cao Kun isn't so easy to take!"

The charming and alluring expression on Yu Linglong's face had long been replaced by endless terror.

She couldn't understand!

What exactly is going on?

Why would a dignified Golden Core cultivator like myself be imprisoned by a mere pill?

She watched helplessly as her useless apprentice, who should have been at her mercy, was slaughtered.

He struggled to get up from the ground.

Then, dragging its broken body, it walked towards itself step by step.

"Master?"

Cao Kun walked up to Yu Linglong and roughly lifted her delicate chin.

"Tsk tsk, this is truly top-notch."

He looked at Yu Linglong's terrified yet immobile eyes and grinned.

"Master, why are you no longer smiling?"

"Weren't you laughing happily just now?"
