Looking at the system's prompt, Gu Yan revealed a mysterious smile.
Just as he had guessed, this Pure Love value was incredibly useful, not only helping him improve his cultivation.
It could even accomplish things like what was happening now.
After advancing to the second stage of the Pure Love Cultivation Technique last night, he began experimenting with the Pure Love value.
He tried various commands one by one.
For instance — "Summon Leng Qingqiu before me!!"
Then a prompt appeared saying [Current Pure Love value insufficient, cannot accomplish this, but if the host strongly insists, the system might be able to help].
Another example — "Create a third-rate warrior before me!"
Then a prompt appeared saying [Current technique level too low, cannot accomplish this].
This made Gu Yan understand something: as his technique level increased, he could even create life........
How does that saying go? My power is limited only by your imagination.
The more Pure Love value he had, the more he could accomplish.
Of course, most importantly, he still wanted to ask: was it really okay for such things to appear in a low-level martial arts world?
This was too overpowered!
Love? This must be the power of love, right?! Indeed, the power of love is infinite!!
Thinking this, he pleasantly looked at the shocked Tian Fang before him, his lips curling into a slight smile: "Alright, call out that cute little thing."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Tian Fang's expression trembled, and then, uncontrollably, he pulled open his clothes at his chest, revealing a cross-shaped scar.
No, no, no, no!!
Tian Fang screamed internally, this can't go on!
He was terrified, no, no, that's my most precious thing!
Old Gao stood silently to the side, wait, what's going on?
What just happened? How could young master make Tian Fang so obedient?
The next second.
Under Old Gao's vigilant gaze.
Gurgle~~
Gaji gaji~~!
Strange sounds emerged from Tian Fang's chest.
Moreover, Tian Fang's chest began swelling larger and larger, and the next second.
Puchi!
A sharp black claw pierced through the cross-shaped scar.
Then, like a flower blooming its petals, the cross-shaped scar slowly spread outward.
Thump! Thump!
The living heart beat at the chest cavity, also revealing the thing crouching on the heart.
Those were three..... black claws with a black iron texture, each appearing to be about 5CM in length.
Old Gao's expression changed dramatically as he stepped forward, shouting lowly: "Young master, be careful! It's a Demon Creature!!"
He vigilantly watched the three claws exposed outside, gradually crawling out from the heart area.
He was shocked internally, though he'd never seen this type of Demon Creature before, the aura was unmistakable, this was the unique aura of Demon Creatures.
This kind of malevolent aura.... it must be a Demon Creature without doubt!
But what shocked him most was, why would anyone dare to place a Demon Creature in their own heart?
Old Gao looked at Tian Fang with difficulty, are all Demonic Martial Artists this crazy?
"It's alright, Old Gao."
Gu Yan gently patted him: "No need to be so tense."
He walked forward to the prison cell, reached out his hand, and smiled at the three seemingly timid claws: "Would you like to come with me?"
Hum! The pink pentagram in his eye socket slowly rotated.
Tian Fang thought to himself, heh, what an idiot, although I don't know how you managed to control me.
But these three demon claws have been raised by me since they were small, their loyalty goes without saying.
How could they possibly follow you just because you asked?
The next second.
"Chirp chirp!!"
"Chirp chirp!"
"Chirp chirp!"
The three demon claws jumped out of Tian Fang's heart area as if they had met their true master, leaping excitedly into Gu Yan's palm.
At this moment, Tian Fang was shocked, and he shouted out loud: "Impossible!!"
Old Gao's face had also turned ghastly pale by now, he looked at the three demon claws in Gu Yan's palm and said with difficulty: "Young... young master, are you planning to raise them??"
This, this, this is too dangerous, isn't it??
Gu Yan played with the demon claws in his palm, stroking their lower ends with the back of his hand, and they curled up together comfortably like kittens.
Hearing Old Gao's words, Gu Yan turned to look at him, nodded and said: "Yes, don't worry, there won't be any danger."
After all.....
[Permanent contract with juvenile 'Three-Life Demon Claws', consuming 20,000 Pure Love value!]
Well, after all, it cost 20,000 Pure Love value, and it was only this much because their anti-Pure Love value wasn't high enough and their level was relatively low.
Looking at the panel showing only 353 Pure Love value remaining, Gu Yan's heart ached.
However..... it was all worth it.
Gu Yan looked at the three demon claws before him, in the original novel, this thing was something extremely twisted.
After Tian Fang's death, it became a lone demon, constantly hiding in the shadows slaughtering passing creatures.
As time went on, the Three-Life Demon Claws evolved into their adult form, each claw growing to an unimaginable size, and even developing intelligence.
The original novel described it like this.
[The Three-Life Demon Claws stood proudly on the earth, towering like pillars reaching into the clouds, emanating intense demonic light.]
[On the surface of the claws, irregular patches of soft and nimble tissue were distributed, growing countless mouths and eyes of various sizes.]
We won't describe more beyond this, the novel's description of these claws was a bit too grotesque, but it made everyone understand the function of these three claws.
That is......
To store creatures' souls and use their powers from when they were alive!
In the original novel, those countless mouths, fangs, and eyes growing on its body.
Were actually all the creatures that had been devoured by the Three-Life Demon Claws!!
Moreover, due to the special nature of the Three-Life Demon Claws, they could only digest the bodies of the creatures they devoured, but couldn't consume their souls.
And they couldn't consume them, because once a soul was completely consumed, their own power would decrease.
You can understand it like this: in a game, weapon attribute gems can only be equipped and unequipped, but you can't make the attribute gems completely merge with the weapon.
For the Three-Life Demon Claws, the souls of creatures they devoured were like attribute gems, and they were weapons that needed these gems to enhance their combat power.
Finally, unsurprisingly, Xiao Lin's protagonist group found this weakness and defeated them after liberating the souls within the Three-Life Demon Claws.
Then needless to say.
Combining some other details, Gu Yan discovered.
These Three-Life Demon Claws seemed to have been deliberately released into the wild by Leng Qingqiu to grow by devouring creatures.
Because in the novel, every time the protagonist group defeated an enemy.
The scene would shift to Leng Qingqiu's side.
[The person sitting in the great hall sneered: Interesting, this makes them worth hunting]
Then would send out a slightly stronger warrior to deal with the protagonist, playing a game of cat and mouse.
Gu Yan sighed lightly, it's because you all didn't stick together as a team that led to such a situation later.
