Chapter 108 The Wonders of the Natal Gu
"Boom!"

The seven-colored liquid erupted with earth-shattering energy fluctuations. Amidst the turbulent energy flow, the liquid churned violently, and a tiny seven-colored snake, only two centimeters long, could be vaguely seen rapidly taking shape.

A moment later, a small, seven-colored snake slowly took shape and floated in front of the two. Each of its scales was as crystal clear as the finest gemstones, shimmering with dreamlike colors in the light.

"hiss……"

The seven-colored snake opened its pale purple eyes, an eerie light swirling within them. Surprisingly, it didn't possess the usual stench of snakes; instead, it exuded a fresh and pleasant fragrance, as if it embodied the essence of heaven and earth.

"Roar!"

With a clear, resonant cry, the genuine aura of a Battle King suddenly erupted. The energy aftershocks spread like a tangible force, instantly covering the surrounding walls with spiderweb-like cracks.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Yu blocked the aftershocks of energy with a golden fire curtain. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he nodded and said, "The physical body has been reshaped, it's done."

He turned to look at Qinglin beside him. The girl was already prepared, her emerald green eyes filled with determination.

Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "Qing Lin, let's begin."

Qinglin took a deep breath, her slender fingers moving swiftly, forming hand seals like butterflies flitting among flowers. As a series of profound incantations, glowing with azure light, were cast, the seven-colored snake suddenly writhed violently, emitting painful hisses. It instinctively tried to resist, but was firmly bound by an inexplicable force.

"Humph!"

Lu Yu snorted coldly, and the Floating Pagoda Flame rose in his palm. Sensing the threat, the little snake froze, lowering its proud head unwillingly, its purple snake eyes filled with grievance.

Seeing this, Qinglin continued to form hand seals, and the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes slowly opened. A drop of crystal-clear emerald blood essence floated out from between his eyebrows, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

At the same time, the seven-colored snake involuntarily opened its small mouth and spat out a drop of seven-colored essence blood that was as dazzling as a gemstone.

The instant two drops of semen touched in mid-air—

"Buzz!"

A mysterious array suddenly rose from beneath the feet of the man and the snake, with intricate runes intertwining in the void, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

The emerald eyes of Qinglin and the purple eyes of the little snake simultaneously shone brightly, and an invisible chain of souls slowly formed between them.

"The contract is complete!"

As Qinglin completed the final hand seal, the array suddenly shone brightly, the dazzling light blinding everyone.

Two mysterious marks rose from the formation, one emerald green and the other rainbow-colored, shooting towards the brows of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and the Azure Scale, respectively.

"call out!"

The moment the mark entered her body, Qinglin trembled, and seven tiny colored lines suddenly appeared in the patterns of the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Eyes. Meanwhile, three emerald green petals appeared in the purple eyes of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python.

An unprecedented soul connection was established between the two. Qinglin could clearly feel every emotional fluctuation of the little snake, and even sense the flow of energy within its body.

Even more miraculously, she discovered that she could share the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's vision, as if she had gained an extra pair of eyes.

"Sigh~"

The colorful little snake affectionately rubbed against Qinglin's cheek, then obediently coiled around her wrist, transforming into an exquisite colorful snake-shaped bracelet.

To Qinglin's delight, he discovered that the energy within his body was resonating with the little snake in a wondrous way, and the energy between the two could flow freely.

Seeing this, Lu Yu asked with concern, "Qinglin, how are you feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglin's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Young Master, it worked! I feel so much closer to Xiaocai now!"

"Xiao Cai?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, then he looked at the seven-colored snake wrapped around her wrist and couldn't help but feel helpless.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Now that the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python has become your natal Gu, you must already possess the corresponding abilities of a natal Gu, right?"

Qinglin nodded excitedly and replied, "Yes! Shared vision, shared power, and shared talent!"

As she spoke, Qinglin had a thought and gently touched Xiaocai's head on her wrist, saying softly, "Xiaocai, lend me your power."

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python affectionately rubbed against Qing Lin's palm, and then a huge amount of energy surged from its body into Qing Lin's body.

In the blink of an eye, Qing Lin's aura, which was originally that of a nine-star Great Dou Master, suddenly surged!
One-star Dou Ling!
Two-star Dou Ling!

……

In just a few breaths, Qing Lin's realm had risen to the same three-star Dou Wang realm as the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python blinked its eyes, looking slightly tired, and coiled itself back around Qing Lin's wrist.

Feeling the abundant power within his body, Qinglin happily said, "Young Master, I can now temporarily use the power of a Battle King!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes showed satisfaction, and he nodded with satisfaction, saying, "That's good. Being able to use the power of a Dou Wang level ahead of time will help you break through your bottleneck. This is the advantage of your natal Gu."

"You can also borrow the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's devouring talent, which will greatly benefit both cultivation and actual combat. In this way, you will become a true spirit insect master."

Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, the seven-colored snake on Qinglin's wrist suddenly raised its head, its purple eyes flashing with spiritual light. Seven-colored light emanated from its scales, and a miniature spatial vortex slowly formed above its head.

"This is……"

Qinglin was surprised to find that he could clearly perceive a seven-colored space with a radius of several tens of feet through Xiaocai's perspective.

A glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he closed them to sense it for a moment: "Interesting..."

He opened his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "This should be a mutated space that was created after the contract, and it is related to your Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil."

"Ask Xiao Cai what special ability it has awakened?"

"Xiao Cai said..."

Qinglin focused his senses for a while, then said with a strange expression, "It can devour other snake-type magical beasts, store them in this space to absorb their battle qi, and then convert some of the energy back to feed me and Xiaocai."

Xiao Cai shook her head smugly. Qing Lin could clearly feel that this special space had perfectly merged with Xiao Cai and could be summoned and used at any time.

To her even greater surprise, her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes underwent a benign mutation, greatly increasing her affinity for snake-type magical beasts.

"He inherited part of the Devouring Talent..."

Lu Yu nodded thoughtfully. The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was not known for its soul power, so it was understandable that it did not inherit the Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil's talent for controlling snakes.

However, its own devouring properties allow it to perfectly integrate with the ability of the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil to absorb energy from snakes.

"This way."

Lu Yu laughed and said, "Besides the original Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, you also have Little Rainbow, which is a cultivation accelerator. Your cultivation speed should be much faster than before."
