Chapter 86: Flanders' Promise
"Brother Lin, thank you for saving my life. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know." Although Ma Hongjun was pale, he still looked serious and weakly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shi Lin.
Ma Hongjun was trained by Zhao Wuji and other notorious bandits, so he has a bandit-like air about him even at a young age.
"You're too kind. By the way, I promised your teacher, Dean Flanders, yesterday that I would solve your problem of evil fire today. Come on, hold out your hand, I need your blood." Shi Lin smiled and waved his hand, then said seriously to Ma Hongjun.
"You've completely solved my problem of evil fire?" Ma Hongjun stared wide-eyed, asking Shi Lin in disbelief.
This was a problem that even his teacher, Soul Saint Flanders, couldn't solve, yet Shi Lin was able to solve it, which was quite unexpected for Ma Hongjun.
"Well, it doesn't completely solve your problem of generating evil fire, it can only eliminate it. Also, this time it can only help you up to level 30. After level 30, I will think of another way for you." Shi Lin didn't hide anything and directly told Ma Hongjun about the limitations of the Contract Fire Gu.
After listening to Shi Lin's explanation of the shortcomings, Ma Hongjun smiled.
"Thank you very much. What can I do for you?" Ma Hongjun laughed heartily and then asked Shi Lin.
Ma Hongjun is still a young man and can't be as composed as Flanders. However, Ma Hongjun is already quite good and has some of Flanders's composure.
"Um... well, do you need me to go out?" Oscar raised his hand and asked Shi Lin with some confusion.
"As long as you don't go around spreading rumors, feel free to look." Shi Lin waved his hand dismissively, since the matter of contracting Gu worms wasn't a secret, and many people under the Shi family would possess Gu worms in the future.
The contracted Gu worms will not become a secret in the future. Of course, if they are to be made public to everyone, that will have to wait until the Shi family has a certain level of strength. Therefore, the Gu worms will only circulate within a small circle.
Oscar is very talented and is someone Shi Lin mainly wants to win over.
"Mm." Ma Hongjun nodded and generously extended his finger.
Shi Lin didn't stand on ceremony. He took out the silver needle he had prepared beforehand, pricked Ma Hongjun's fingertip, and squeezed out a drop of blood.
Then he took out the toothpick he had prepared beforehand and used it as a pen to draw a formation for the contract on the paper.
Then, Shi Lin took out the top-grade Fire Seed Gu from his pocket and placed it on the contract.
Ma Hongjun recognized it at a glance; it was the thing that had absorbed the evil fire from his body yesterday.
"Put your soul power into this thing!" Shi Lin said to Ma Hongjun, raising his head.
Ma Hongjun responded and then, without any hesitation, directly channeled his soul power into the formation.
After the contract formation absorbed the soul power, the blood-red formation on the paper slowly emitted a blood-red light, and then the contract formation on the cardboard box slowly detached from the paper.
The contract formation slowly shrank and then flew to the top of the Fire Seed Gu's head. The Fire Seed Gu originally wanted to struggle, but Ma Hongjun had already broken through to level ten. Before the Fire Seed Gu could even begin to resist, it was suppressed by Ma Hongjun's soul power.
Next, Shi Lin helped Ma Hongjun contract the remaining two Fire Seed Gu.
After all, Shi Lin didn't know if one Fire Gu would be enough to completely devour the evil fire on Ma Hongjun's body.
For Shi Lin, the Fire Seed Gu is not cost-effective, since he has already decided to become a Space Path Gu Master and does not want to cultivate two Gu paths at the same time.
After successfully contracting three Fire Seed Gu, Ma Hongjun's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.
The Fire Seed Gu fed back a lot of pure fire power to Ma Hongjun, replenishing his weakened body.
"Let's practice for a bit and feel the evil fire that arises during cultivation," Shi Lin said to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun nodded, then sat in the carriage and began to cultivate.
Shi Lin and the others were all watching Ma Hongjun intently.
A few minutes later, Ma Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, a bright smile on his face.
"It's solved! It's finally solved!" Ma Hongjun shouted excitedly.
Although the soul power that Ma Hongjun had just cultivated did not increase his cultivation level, all the evil fire it generated was absorbed by the Fire Seed Gu.
Although Ma Hongjun is young, it doesn't mean he is ignorant. He knows that his teacher doesn't allow him to cultivate because it will generate evil fire.
Moreover, ever since he awakened his spirit, his teacher has been busy searching for a way to get rid of the evil fire.
Now that a solution has finally been found, it would be a lie to say that Ma Hongjun isn't happy.
Ma Hongjun jumped out of the carriage in excitement and rushed towards Flanders.
Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun rushing out of the carriage and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Oscar, can I have two of your sausages? I want to study them." Shi Lin ignored what Oscar said and turned to Oscar again.
"No problem, I have two big sausages!" Oscar immediately mobilized his soul power and chanted a soul incantation. The next second, with a flash of white light, two big sausages appeared in Oscar's hand.
"Thank you." Shi Lin took the two sausages and put them into his soul tool.
"Friendly reminder, my soul power effect only lasts for twelve hours. After twelve hours, the sausage will no longer be effective," Oscar kindly explained to Shi Lin.
"This is already a very impressive soul skill. I also have a female food-type soul master in my family. I'll introduce you two sometime," Shi Lin said with a smile to Oscar.
Oscar's eyes lit up when he heard what Shi Lin said!
Shi Lin was stunned by Oscar's reaction.
This guy's first soul skill is definitely in the top tier of food-type soul masters, so finding a girlfriend shouldn't be difficult.
Why do you react so strongly when girls are mentioned?
But then he thought about it and it made sense, since there aren't many pretty girls around Shrek Academy.
And the Oscars don't have money either.
Just then, there was a knock on the carriage.
Shi Lin immediately lifted the carriage curtain.
"Shi Lin, thank you for helping Hongjun solve his problem of evil fire." Flanders said to Shi Lin with great excitement.
"Dean Flanders, you are too kind. This is what I should do." Shi Lin also jumped down from the carriage and said humbly to Flanders, after all, he was a Soul Saint.
"Don't worry, Shrek Academy and the Shi family will have a highly cooperative relationship in the future. I will definitely take good care of your Shi family." Flanders nodded and said seriously to Shi Lin.
"Thank you very much, Dean Flanders. Don't worry, Shrek Academy and all the teachers can tell me and my father if they have any needs, and we will try our best to meet them." Shi Lin nodded earnestly to Flanders and said.
"Alright, you're a shrewd guy, Hongjun. You're younger than Xiaolin, so from now on, call him Brother Lin. The world from now on belongs to you young people." Flanders patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, then laughed heartily and turned to leave the carriage where Shi Lin was.
"Brother Lin!" Ma Hongjun said earnestly to Shi Lin.
"Hongjun, you're too kind!" Shi Lin readily agreed and became sworn brothers with Ma Hongjun.
Shi Lin guessed that Flanders must have realized that the first-tier Fire Seed Gu would lose its effect after Ma Hongjun broke through to level 30, which is why he made Ma Hongjun get close to him.
Shi Lin believed that one day he would be able to make Ma Hongjun completely submit to his command.
Then, the caravan continued its journey, but tonight Flanders did not avoid cities; instead, he specifically chose a city and led the caravan into it.
