Huang Fugui, unable to help, simply jumped off Da Hua and wandered around.
Jian Ning kept collecting this almost liquefied spiritual energy.
She didn't stop until more than half an hour later. She knew that no matter how good something was, she couldn't cut off its lifeblood. She had to keep some of it. One shouldn't be too greedy.
She has already had enough to show for herself today.
"Master, the dragon vein is here. Do you plan to absorb it yourself, or put it in your spatial dimension to nurture it?"
Huang Fugui stood on a raised patch of ground not far away and shouted loudly at Jian Ning.
"Let's put it in the space. We can take it out and use it when we need to absorb it later."
In this world, it's uncertain whether it's even possible to cultivate immortality and ascend to heaven. She's already invincible at the Golden Core stage here; further advancement seems pointless.
Moreover, there is still a gap between Xiao Lingfeng and her.
If they couldn't ascend to the upper realm together, staying in this world wouldn't be so bad. Although survival in the apocalypse was difficult, Jian Ning didn't find it too difficult at all.
"Yes, Master, please accept this."
With a flick of its little paws, Huang Fugui forcefully grabbed the ground, pulling out a dragon-shaped creature the size of an earthworm from the ground.
"This is the dragon vein? It's so small!"
Jian Ning walked over and examined the little dragon from head to toe; its body was golden with a hint of purple. It was being held in Huang Fugui's hand, baring its teeth and claws in a furious rage, but unable to break free.
"There are two dragon veins here. I caught a small one for you."
"When it grows up, it will be even more powerful than that one. Master, didn't you see it's purple? This is a noble among dragons, with pure blood. And it's easy to tame."
"Okay, this one will do."
Jian Ning wasn't greedy. She picked up Huang Fugui, flashed into the space, found a suitable spot, and put the little dragon inside. As soon as it burrowed into the ground, it disappeared.
Suddenly, the space trembled and threw Jian Ning and Huang Fugui out.
"The space is probably going to be upgraded. We can't go in for the time being." Jian Ning was really looking forward to the space being upgraded again.
"You scared me! Let's wait here for the space upgrade to complete, and not go anywhere else yet. The climate here is warm, not cold at all. If we go out now, it'll freeze to death."
Huang Fugui was mainly thinking of Jian Ning. She couldn't return to her original space, and going back was too cold on the glacier. If she encountered any danger, there would be no way back.
"Okay, Da Hua, are you hungry again?"
As soon as Jian Ning popped out of the spatial dimension, she saw several more animals on the ground.
Pheasants, rabbits, and several large fish. They were still hopping around on the ground, so lively, they must have been caught by Big Flower just now.
"Meow, meow." Big Flower kept meowing and even used its paws to push the big fish towards Jian Ning.
"Okay. I understand. I'll make a soup with this fish. Let's not grill it every day. Let's try a different way of eating it."
As Jian Ning spoke, she took out another knife from her storage bracelet and went to the river to clean the fish. Huang Fugui had Da Hua bring the rabbit and pheasant over as well.
Its small body couldn't budge it at all. After all, rabbits and pheasants are giants. They're extremely large.
Jian Ning made a big pot of fish soup, braised spicy rabbit, and dry pot chicken. Da Hua ate with gusto, her mouth watering non-stop. After finishing, she looked at Jian Ning with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong? Can't you eat spicy food? I see you're enjoying it. If you don't like it, I won't put chili in next time."
"Meow." Big Flower shook its huge head, then suddenly walked over and bit Jian Ning's arm.
But this startled Huang Fugui.
"What are you doing? You're still not full after eating so much food, are you going to eat people too? Let go of me right now, or I won't be polite."
As it spoke, two firebird talismans appeared on its claws. It seemed that as soon as Big Flower bit down, it would begin its attack.
"Fugui, don't worry, it doesn't seem like it wants to eat me." Jian Ning didn't sense any malice from the leopard.
It grunted twice in its throat, then gently bit down.
It only bit a little off Jian Ning's arm, causing a drop of blood to seep out. Soon, a contract formation appeared above Jian Ning and the golden leopard's heads.
Jian Ning then realized that it wanted to form a contract with her. It seemed that this was a foodie who had been lured in by delicious food.
"Master, take me with you wherever you go from now on. I want to eat delicious food!" A clear, youthful voice rang out. Judging from the voice, the leopard was probably quite young.
Within the leopard species, this should be a recent adult.
“I can do it for you every day here, but I’m going back to my own world eventually. Will you come with me?”
Are you willing to leave your family here?
Jian Ning could keep it in her space or later in her immortal abode; it would never lack food. However, in that case, it would definitely have to be separated from the clan here.
“It’s alright. We are solitary animals by nature. The other leopards in my territory are my brothers, and they also have their own territories.”
I only come here occasionally. After I go back, I'll pack up all my treasures, and then I can go with you.
Da Hua remained indifferent to whether she would leave her brothers or whether she would ever see them again.
"Okay, then I'll take you with me when I go back. If you get tired of staying out here, I can let you come back too." Jian Ning felt that she didn't know when she would be able to pass this eighth level.
With so many treasures here, she wasn't in a hurry to clear the game. She would wait until she had collected as many good items as possible before making any progress.
"Upon hearing that Jian Ning agreed to take it along, Da Hua happily rolled around on the ground several times."
Then it ran off to catch more fish. It had just drunk fish soup, which was so delicious. It tasted so much better than eating raw fish; it wanted to catch several more so its owner could cook them all for it to enjoy slowly.
Huang Fugui regained his human form and ran over to help.
Jian Ning took a tent out of her storage bracelet, found a suitable spot to set it up, and then crawled inside.
With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, and protected by leopards, she wasn't afraid of being attacked by wild animals.
Right now, without any spiritual energy in her body, she was just like a normal person, wanting to sleep after eating. She had barely closed her eyes when she got up again and scattered snake repellent around the tent.
It's better to be careful. What if some insects or ants crawl in? She might fall asleep and not notice. She doesn't know how long it will take to upgrade this space; hopefully, it will be soon. Otherwise, her safety really isn't guaranteed.
