Chapter 28 The Spirit-Level Mosquitoes of Golden Cloud Peak! [New Book, Please Vote!]

The life-bound contract tightly binds the cultivator and the spirit beast together, sharing both glory and disgrace. The spirit beast can enjoy a portion of the cultivator's cultivation speed, while the cultivator can enjoy a portion of the spirit beast's powerful bloodline talent.

The master-servant blood pact, as the name suggests, involves one party as master and the other as servant, with the master having the power to decide the life or death of the servant. However, somewhat counterintuitively, this kind of master-servant blood pact is not actually common in Spirit Beast Mountain.

On the one hand, the cost of a master-servant blood pact is relatively high. On the other hand, the contract partner is generally weaker than oneself.

A common type of contract within the Spirit Beast Mountain is called the Equality Contract.

Under an equal contract, neither party has to pay a price for the other's accidental death. Some more advanced equal contracts even allow both parties to simultaneously possess the means to severely damage the other's soul.

This is a contract specifically for cultivators of the same cultivation level and demonic beasts to coexist peacefully. It is rumored that the contracts signed between the Core Formation Peak Masters of Spirit Beast Mountain and their respective high-level spirit beasts are based on this contract.

Furthermore, because at the same cultivation level, the lifespan of demonic beasts is usually several times longer than that of human cultivators, high-level spirit beasts of level five and above in Spirit Beast Mountain will generally change their contract partners every two to three hundred years.

In the context of Spirit Beast Mountain, it's fair to say that while peak masters come and go, high-level spirit beasts remain constant.

Although the Equal Contract is a relatively common contract in Spirit Beast Mountain, it is not the case during the Qi Refining stage.

A cultivator at the Qi Refining stage cannot immediately sign an equal contract with a young beast whose intelligence is still immature, but at the same time, they also do not have the ability to force the signing of a master-servant blood contract.

Therefore, under the equal contract, something called the "Spirit Beast Contract" appeared.

A spirit beast contract can almost be seen as a castrated version of an equal contract with no binding force. It serves only two purposes: one is to prove that the cub has a master spirit beast and is not a wild demon beast. The other is to allow cultivators and cubs to more clearly perceive each other's emotions and goodwill through the spirit beast contract mark, thus facilitating the cultivation of a bond between them.

All the young beasts that were sent to Mengde were spirit beasts under contract, and their owners were all cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm.

The Fire Serpent and the Earth Bear were a little special, because Wang Sheng didn't want these two little creatures to interfere with his dual cultivation, so he spent some spirit stones to have Meng De look after them.

The other three cubs all had some major or minor problems that their owners couldn't solve, so they hoped to spend some spirit stones to have Mengde "repair" them. Thus, fertile ground for growth appeared in Mengde's spirit beast park.

......

Just as Mengde was peacefully enjoying the time he spent raising his pets, an uninvited guest visited Blackwater Manor.

"You mean... this was given to me by Senior Sister Qingli?" Inside the Blackwater Manor, Meng De dispersed the swarm of mosquitoes that were gathering around him, looked up at the black and white spirit bear that had stood up and exceeded three meters in height, pointed to the three medicine bottles in his hand, and asked subconsciously.

The black and white spirit bear nodded emphatically, then pointed to one of the medicine bottles and used its sharp nails to write a few words on the ground: "Body tempering, do not eat, soak in water."

The black and white spirit bear named Xiong Jun held up two fingers, gestured, and continued writing: "Two, eat."

Mengde had previously heard Yunxi mention that Xiong Jun was a level three demon beast, corresponding to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Although Xiong Jun could not speak human language yet (only those at the Core Formation stage could speak), its intelligence had matured, and with Qing Li's guidance, Xiong Jun had become a large bear that could read and write.

Although Xiong Jun's writing was clumsy and his handwriting was crooked, Meng De began to understand the message that Xiong Jun wanted to convey.

Of the three medicine bottles in Mengde's hand, one contained a Body Tempering Pill, which could not be taken internally and needed to be absorbed by the body through a medicinal bath.

The other two bottles contain Yellow Dragon Pills and Qi Refining Pills, both of which can increase cultivation level and can be taken internally.

The Yellow Dragon Pill is more potent, but Meng De has already consumed one bottle, so this bottle's final efficacy might be slightly weaker. The Qi Refining Pill is a common auxiliary medicine for Qi Refining Realm cultivation. It's mild and slow-acting, but its strength lies in its long-lasting effects and low likelihood of developing resistance. Of course, this low resistance rate refers to normal individuals. Those who consume Qi Refining Pills like candy will inevitably develop resistance.

Meng De is now at the sixth level of Qi Refining and has successfully refined the floating magical power within his body. He can now freely mobilize at least 99.9% of his magical power. Why not 100%? Because this is the norm in the cultivation world—we must trust the wisdom of future generations... no, it should be that problems at lower levels are naturally resolved at higher levels.

In short, problems must be solved through continuous development.

All cultivators who overuse drugs will develop some unusable mana within their bodies. This is one manifestation of drug resistance; another is the fusion of this unusable mana with the rest of the body, thus achieving usability of all mana at the cost of reduced quality. In simpler terms, if a cultivator's total mana is like a battery, repeatedly and violently recharging it with elixirs will deplete its health.

This is why, in the cultivation world, having pure magical power at the same cultivation level is a great affirmation of a cultivator.

How can this problem be solved?

The first method involves spending more time honing one's mana. For example, when Meng De first broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, his mana battery health dropped quite a bit. After spending some time honing his mana, his health returned to over 99% of normal. However, this method has limited effectiveness because no matter how much honing is done, the power of the Qi Refining Realm cannot completely resolve the problems within the Qi Refining Realm.

Therefore, more people chose the second option: breakthrough. As long as the health of their internal mana battery remains within a normal and acceptable range, breaking through to a higher realm and using the power of that higher realm to refine the problems left behind by the Qi Refining Realm becomes extremely simple.

In other words, even if someone consumes enough Yellow Dragon Pills to excrete them completely, once they successfully establish their Foundation Establishment, the resistance to the Yellow Dragon Pills will automatically disappear as they use the high-quality mana of the Foundation Establishment realm to assimilate their own mana. However, at this point, although you can consume Yellow Dragon Pills again, the improvement they provide to a Foundation Establishment cultivator is negligible.

"It seems this is a reward from Senior Sister Qingli for figuring out the potential of the Blood Mosquito." Meng De looked at the cultivation resources in his hand, enough for him to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, and couldn't help but think of this.

Indeed, in the cultivation world, clinging to powerful figures is a good choice. At least for the time being, Meng De cannot obtain these resources through legal means.

Having obtained the three bottles of pills, Mengde wanted to persuade Xiong Jun to stay and prepared to entertain him.

However, Xiong Jun shook his head and refused, leaving only a single line before turning away without looking back:

I hate mosquitoes the most!

"Hmm...Hmm?!" Meng De was taken aback when he saw the word "mosquito," and then his eyes lit up instantly!

Spirit-level mosquitoes exist on Jinxia Peak!
