Chapter 28: The Cause and Effect of Recruiting Two Demons and the Treasure-Seeking Rat?
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, inside a dilapidated mountain god temple.
"These two demons have such good fortune that their chances of advancing to Foundation Establishment are higher than those of other Qi Refining Perfection cultivators."
"They could be taken in as spirit servants."
"If you leave your soul imprint on this master-servant spiritual contract, I will spare your lives."
At this moment, Yuan Xiudao took out two spirit contracts, had Lin Li leave his mark on them first, and then sent the spirit contracts to Mo Feng and Er Gou.
The next moment, Yuan Xiudao's voice transmission rang in Lin Li's mind.
"Young friend Liu, once you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, if one of these two demons manages to advance successfully, you can use the power of the Spirit Contract in conjunction with the Corpse Refining Sect's corpse puppet refining method to refine it into a natal spirit puppet. This will be a great help in battles between people of the same level."
The content of the telepathic message surprised Lin Li somewhat.
"The Corpse Refining Sect's method of creating corpse puppets?"
"To refine a Foundation Establishment stage spiritual cultivator, one would need at least a second-tier puppet refining technique, which must be a core secret of the Corpse Refining Sect. Could Yuan Xiudao also possess this puppet refining technique?"
Lin Li stared at Yuan Xiudao's retreating figure, lost in thought.
"Mo Feng is willing to be a spirit servant."
Mo Feng knew in his heart that this was the only way to survive. If he refused, he would be smashed into mincemeat by Yuan Xiudao in no time.
Me too.
Er Gou, standing nearby, quickly echoed.
Of course, no one wants to die if they can live.
He hasn't even had a bunch of puppies yet, how can he just die like this? It's such a waste.
Immediately, the two demons readily left their soul imprints on the spirit contracts, and in the blink of an eye, both spirit contracts were swallowed up by the black mist vortex.
Two shackles seemed to fall upon Mo Feng and Er Gou from the depths of their being.
The moment the spiritual contract was completed, the pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage that had imprisoned Mo Feng and Er Gouzi vanished, and Yuan Xiudao raised his hand and took the treasure-hunting rat into his hand.
He kept looking him up and down.
"Where did you find this spirit beast?"
Yuan Xiudao had only heard of the Treasure-Seeking Rat before, having seen it in the Spirit Beast Compendium north of Wushan.
It is of immense value.
Even a treasure-hunting rat at the Qi Refining Realm, if it appears in the market, can be listed at the auction house.
A treasure-hunting rat at the peak of Qi Refining is worth as much as half a Foundation Establishment Pill.
If the Treasure-Hunting Rat can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, its ability to search for all kinds of rare and precious materials will rise to a new level. Even those powerful cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage will inevitably attract its attention and compete for it.
In Yuan Xiudao's view, this treasure-hunting rat was the greatest opportunity within this mountain god temple.
"Reporting to the Mountain Lord, the Corpse Refining Sect's demonic cultivators previously invaded the Wushan territory..."
Mo Feng, standing a few steps in front of him, began to explain in detail how they had encountered the treasure-hunting rat cub in the Purple Miasma Forest.
"A cub?"
A look of seriousness flashed in Yuan Xiudao's eyes.
The cubs of the treasure-hunting rats couldn't have appeared in the Purple Miasma Forest for no reason, especially since that place is full of miasma. Ordinary Qi-refining cultivators can't stay there for long unless they are spirit cultivators who specialize in miasma.
This treasure-hunting rat is not a miasma-type spirit.
This matter is rather strange…
"Mountain Lord, the cave where this cub is located is protected by an array that is about to be corroded by miasma. We happened to come across it and thought there were some rare treasures inside. After breaking it open, we saw the treasure-hunting rat cub inside."
Mo Feng continued speaking.
"You chicken demon, you've certainly seen a lot."
"Do you know about this treasure-hunting rat?"
Yuan Xiudao looked at Mo Feng with considerable surprise. Even he only knew of this creature from the spirit beast encyclopedia north of Wushan. Logically speaking, a Qi-refining chicken demon in this remote corner of Wushan should not have such knowledge.
Yuan Xiudao looked at the chicken demon with a dark chicken head on its head, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Geek!
Mo Feng, who was being watched by the Foundation Establishment cultivator, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Mountain Lord, I only obtained a few jade slips by chance when I was young, in the cave where a human cultivator had passed away. The jade slips contained information about this beast."
Mo Feng hurriedly took out the jade slip that he had treasured for many years from his storage bag.
Three ancient-looking jade slips floated in the air.
Yuan Xiudao probed into the contents with a wisp of his divine sense and examined them one by one before he believed what Mo Feng had said.
"I see. Your luck as a chicken demon is truly extraordinary."
Yuan Xiudao was filled with emotion.
It's the legacy of a human cultivator's secluded cave, and also the cub of this treasure-hunting rat.
Unfortunately, I haven't mastered any techniques like the Qi Observation Technique, so I can't see the fortunes of the chicken demon and the dog demon.
But now Yuan Xiudao also knows that one of these two demons may be a spiritual cultivator with extraordinary luck, and this spiritual cultivator may have a real chance to glimpse the Foundation Establishment realm in the future.
Immediately afterward, Yuan Xiudao placed a restriction inside the treasure-hunting rat in his hand and then put it into the spirit pet bag.
The origins of this treasure-hunting rat cub are strange, so it's best not to bind it with a spirit contract. If this spirit rat gets involved in any troublesome karma, it can be easily severed.
"Young friend Liu, the origins of this treasure-hunting rat are unknown, so I will leave it with you for now."
Yuan Xiudao said to Lin Li.
"Senior Yuan has considered everything thoroughly; it's fine to leave it in your hands."
Lin Li said respectfully.
The next moment, the group rode a gust of wind and headed straight for their destination, Cave Mountain.
Kulong Mountain is located more than a thousand miles north of Qingyuan Mountain.
Not only is the mountain steep, but looking out, you can see a series of dark holes of varying sizes.
It stands out prominently on the snow-capped peaks that have turned white.
"Go, you two patrol around the perimeter of Cave Mountain to prevent other spiritual practitioners from entering its area."
Yuan Xiudao gave instructions to Mo Feng and Er Gou behind him.
"Yes, Lord Mountain."
Mo Feng and Er Gou quickly adapted to their new identities. Although they were serving as spirit servants, they were still under the command of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Qingyuan Mountain, which was not shameful.
Moreover, the spiritual liquid they obtained in the mountain god temple could increase their chances of spiritual tempering. This made Mo Feng realize that the reason they hadn't become wandering ghosts was because of the spiritual liquid they had previously consumed.
If Lord Yuan had arrived earlier and stopped all the spirit embryo liquid, he and Er Gou would have been dead long ago.
He was lucky to escape with his life.
Swish!
As soon as they finished speaking, Mo Feng and Er Gou transformed into two gusts of demonic wind, one on the left and one on the right, and began to patrol the area within a radius of more than ten miles around Kulong Mountain. They each released their divine senses and looked around very vigilantly.
They knew in their hearts that if they couldn't even do this kind of thing well, then they would be in trouble when facing Lord Yuan.
"Young friend Liu."
"The Frost Jade Spirit Toad in this Cave Mountain is like you, both being ice-type."
"This spirit toad has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and is only one step away from reaching the perfect level."
"If you can kill it and refine the essence of the Cold Pill within its body, it will definitely enhance your spiritual fire abilities."
Yuan Xiudao spoke up.
At the same time, looking at the cave mountain not far away, his Foundation Establishment divine sense had already sensed the spirit toad in the cave mountain. This combat target was one he had carefully selected.
