CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 126: COURTING DEATH LIKE CRAZY! LITTLE NINE FOX’S REVENGE!_3

With that, he withdrew the Creature Pressure he had released, granting Jiu Li her freedom once again.

"Oh, Jiu Li understands."

Jiu Li responded perfunctorily, then quietly played with her new tail.

Seeing that Jiu Li was rather sensible, Su Yan stopped bothering with her and focused on watching the tutorial video.

"Essence Blood Positioning is a Beast Taming Secret Technique passed down since the Primordial Era."

"The principle is quite simple: condense a drop of essence blood from one’s body into a crystalline form, and then feed it to the mythical beast."

"Once the mythical beast devours the essence blood, the drop will merge with the beast’s Monster-Core. This allows the essence blood’s owner to precisely locate the beast through Bloodline Sensing."

"Although this principle sounds straightforward, in practice, it’s extremely difficult."

"The first challenge is the essence blood condensation process, which most people can’t master without at least half a year of study."

"The second challenge is that for the essence blood to successfully merge with the Monster-Core, the mythical beast must have some compatibility with it. Otherwise, a bloodline conflict could quickly occur, resulting in instant death."

"The third challenge is that the process of merging with the Monster-Core is excruciatingly painful, and many mythical beasts die from the unbearable agony during this period."

"The solutions to these challenges are..."

The tutorial video rattled on.

Su Yan listened attentively the entire time, feeling he had more or less grasped the concept.

Meanwhile, Jiu Li, who had been listening in on the tutorial from the bed, grew increasingly frightened.

The integration process is extremely painful, and there’s a high risk of death—is this an attempt to murder me, a Fox Demon?

Jiu Li couldn’t hold back and, with a pitiful expression, tentatively asked, "Master, are you planning to perform Essence Blood Positioning on Jiu Li?"

"Yes, that’s right," Su Yan replied calmly.

Hearing Su Yan’s reply, Jiu Li was instantly displeased. Risking punishment, she refused, "That will be very painful! I don’t want it!"

Su Yan said indifferently, "This is the Master’s task. It’s not for you to refuse."

Jiu Li was rather speechless. "That rhymed so well, Master. Are you rapping?"

Su Yan shot Jiu Li an annoyed glance, then ignored her and continued watching the video tutorial.

Seeing this, Jiu Li tried to argue again, "Master, the teacher in the video just said Essence Blood Positioning takes half a year to learn. Instead of spending time learning it, why don’t you spend these six months showering Jiu Li with affection and building our bond?"

"That way, Jiu Li will definitely stay by your side, which is much more effective than any Essence Blood Positioning. Don’t you think that makes sense, Master?"

After speaking, Jiu Li gazed at Su Yan with eyes full of affection, hinting and signaling frantically.

Su Yan found this rather amusing and retorted, "Don’t measure a genius like me—one who’s practically using cheats—by your mediocre standards. My learning ability far exceeds your meager imagination."

After saying that, Su Yan, having just finished the tutorial video, turned off his phone and began his practical attempt.

He pricked his thumb with a sharp object and began the process of condensing and extracting his essence blood.

His first practical attempt quickly ended in failure. He couldn’t condense the essence blood into a crystalline state; instead, he just ended up with a handful of blood.

Seeing Su Yan about to wipe away the blood, Jiu Li quickly stopped him. "Master, this essence blood contains your Essence. Don’t waste it."

"You want to eat it?"

"I want to eat it!" Jiu Li nodded repeatedly.

Hearing this, Su Yan extended his hand to her, allowing her to clean it.

Jiu Li showed no modesty and, with a delighted expression, decisively enjoyed her late-night snack.

After Jiu Li finished cleaning the essence blood from his hand, Su Yan continued his practical training.

Over the next half-hour, Su Yan repeatedly tried to condense his essence blood, but every attempt failed.

Fortunately, his healing ability was extremely strong; otherwise, the blood loss would have been severe.

As for Little Nine Fox beside him, she seemed satisfied after each ’meal’, and there were faint signs she was about to grow a sixth tail.

Where exactly is the problem? Why am I always failing by just a hair’s breadth?

Su Yan stared at his thumb, lost in thought as he reviewed his repeated failures, trying to pinpoint what went wrong. Time flowed like water with each review; every period of contemplation lasted at least ten minutes.

Jiu Li, bored with waiting, inadvertently picked up Su Yan’s phone, feeling a bit like a girlfriend checking up on her boyfriend.

She tapped the phone screen and discovered there was no screen lock!

She daringly opened Feixin!

Upon opening Feixin, Song Yuqin’s avatar was the first thing she saw. It had a small red dot, indicating an unread message.

Jiu Li, continuing her risky behavior, clicked on Song Yuqin’s message.

Song Yuqin: Junior, did you receive the video tutorial for Essence Blood Positioning?

Reading the message, Jiu Li instantly became furious.

How preposterous! So it was that seductive vixen who sent the tutorial video to this dense man! You wicked woman, I, Jiu Li, curse you to be single for life!

Jiu Li fumed internally, incessantly cursing Song Yuqin in her mind.

As I was cursing, a bold idea formed in my mind—I’ll teach this detestable man and woman a lesson!

Then, using Su Yan’s Feixin account, she sent a message to Song Yuqin.

Su Something: Senior sister, I like you!
