Seeing the ferocious beast begin to sigh to itself, Wang Zheng quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Is the sealed creature inside still alive? It seems like it's trying to break free of the seal. I don't know its true nature, and seeing this chaotic energy, I thought I'd summon you to devour this benefit!"

Hearing that Wang Zheng hadn't forgotten him even after receiving benefits, the ferocious beast was somewhat moved and silently nodded after transforming into human form.

At this moment, looking at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as his own, Wang Zheng's expression was a little strange.

"You should change back. I feel uncomfortable looking at you like this."

Young Master Wang wouldn't admit it, but the visual impact of his appearance combined with that head of red hair made him a little jealous. However, if he were to actually adopt such a look, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.

Besides, a spirit pet should look like a spirit pet, what kind of thing is it if it becomes just like its owner!

The ferocious beast ignored Young Master Wang's jealous suggestion and explained on its own:

"Given this being's supernatural abilities, they're probably still alive. I just didn't expect them to have such a clever way of circumventing the seal. It seems we really came to the right place this time. Maybe their true form will even appear in the world ahead of schedule..."

Seeing that he actually recognized the Ferocious Beast, Young Master Wang became interested.

"Who is sealed inside, and what kind of abilities does it possess? By the way, what's your relationship with him/her? If he/she is really released, are we strong enough to deal with him/her?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I estimate that even if you help him break free of the seal, he probably won't have the strength to deal with you."

Moreover, this one's personality is at most a bit eccentric; it's not a ferocious beast that can't distinguish right from wrong. As for its origins... have you ever heard of the Mirage?

"Shrimp, crabs, turtles, and alligators, their energy gathered in a mirage, a mirage originally a pheasant transformed, originating from that mirage on the hill?"

The ferocious beast nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect you to have some culture, kid. That's right, it's this beast!"

Wang Zheng still didn't quite understand.

"Isn't this clam born from a chicken and a snake according to legend? How has it managed to survive for tens of thousands of years and remain immortal?"

"This is what I mean by the wonder. This giant clam is quite capable. Since you know about the Qi Gathering Mirage, why are you surprised by the strength of its soul power?"

Although this ruin is a seal, for him, being able to cultivate in this place rich in spiritual energy means he has probably already reached the point where his soul remains immortal even if his physical body decays.

At this point, the ferocious beast sighed and lamented:

"In this day and age, there are fewer and fewer of us old folks. Those without some tricks up their sleeves have long since severed all ties with their past lives and been reincarnated."

Moreover, someone like him, barely clinging to life, probably won't last more than a few years. If he hadn't met you, once the spiritual energy inside was completely depleted, this clam would likely have met a gruesome end, its soul scattered and destroyed.

It matches up, doesn't it?

How did the ferocious beast describe this mirage just now?

Abandon the physical body, for the soul is immortal!

Combined with the innate beast soul that forced them to enter, the fact that the ruins were opened ahead of schedule despite the absence of a major disaster makes the matter quite obvious.

It has to be said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. If it weren't for this ferocious beast helping to replenish the supplies, even if Young Master Wang guessed correctly, he wouldn't be sure.

Just as Wang Zheng had finished sorting out the whole story, the ferocious beast leaned lazily against the stone wall and slowly said:

"You're quite thoughtful, aren't you? You don't forget me when there's something good to be had..."

Seeing that the ferocious beast was indeed not angry and was even quite satisfied with his actions, Young Master Wang seemed to see many cultivation techniques that could directly increase his skill points beckoning to him!

Wang Zheng seized the opportunity to claim credit, displaying great magnanimity.

"What kind of relationship do we have? We're half-brothers, not from the same father but different mother. Who else would I think of if not you? Don't be so polite with me!"

"I think you're just too scared, and you don't know how to use these treasures either~"

The ferocious beast was fully aware of Wang Zheng's little scheme, but it didn't say anything at the moment. It simply flew to the top of the main hall and made a sweeping motion in the air.

The next second, the gray mist, which surged like a living thing, flew straight in front of the two of them and compressed into two fist-sized balls of air.

The smaller piece of the ferocious beast was swallowed whole, while the slightly larger piece was pushed over and pressed into Young Master Wang's body.

Wang Zheng instinctively wanted to hide, but considering that he and the Zhen Beast were twins, the Zhen Beast had no reason to harm him and could not possibly do so, so he forcibly suppressed the impulse.

As the gray fog outside lessened, Wang Zheng felt the fog quickly integrate into his bones and blood as it entered his body. He could clearly feel that he seemed to be undergoing some inexplicable changes.

His bones became harder, his blood vessels stronger, his tendons wider, and his muscles as firm as refined iron.

However, such a transformation brings considerable torment.

Whenever his tendons and muscles rubbed violently, even breaking the surface of his skin, Wang Zheng felt waves of stinging pain spreading throughout his body.

Fortunately, his physical strength was also extremely strong, so this level of pain did not have a significant impact on him.

On the contrary, the pain made him feel more awake and able to feel the changes in his body more clearly.

"Uphold your original essence, draw in and refine your Qi!"

The ferocious beast roared and transformed its finger into a sword, pressing it against Wang Zheng's brow.

The next second, the spiritual energy automatically withdrew from Wang Zheng's body and was then reabsorbed back into his body.

This change repeated itself more than ten times until finally, the power could quickly circulate within Wang Zheng's body the moment it entered, and only then did the ferocious beast slowly withdraw its hands.

Moreover, he looked tired, as if he had exhausted himself.

However, before Wang Zheng regained consciousness, he quickly adjusted his breathing and returned to his original state of complete control.

It can only be said that she's completely obsessed with maintaining her idol image.

At this moment, Wang Zheng had just recovered from that strange resonance. He knew that the ferocious beast had not only shared half of the benefits with him, but had also passed on a cultivation technique for absorbing and refining energy.

"Speaking of which, this cultivation technique didn't appear in the data panel. So, this is the first cultivation technique I've successfully mastered on my own..."

Faced with this sudden benefit, Young Master Wang's thoughts were somewhat complicated.

At this moment, even without looking, he knew that a qualitative change had occurred within him.

Seeing that the five-dimensional attributes in the data panel had increased by several points at once, and that a new line of small text had appeared below the basic functions: [Innate Primordial Qi (Chaotic Qi): Refining Degree (1%)], Young Master Wang was completely stunned.

"So this gray mist was originally called Primordial Qi? And what does 'Chaotic Qi' in parentheses mean? Is it because I named it?"

However, I only refined 1% and it brought a full 12-point attribute increase. If it were 100% refined... wow, that's terrifying, terrifying! Hahahaha..."
