First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 81: Spirit Pet Contract

After the battle with Lu Ming, Shen Mo had no regrets about losing.

He was indeed very strong.

Even if he took out the Soul Refining Banner, he might not necessarily win.

"It's not easy to get second place among the newcomers."

Guo Zhao said, "Lu Ming has the Thunder Spirit Body and a solid foundation. He is truly a genius. It's not unjust for you to lose to him."

Although Shen Mo had opened all three of his Dantians, which was extremely rare and solid foundation, he still paled in comparison to a genius with extraordinary talent.

"Thunder Spirit Body?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo finally realized that Lu Ming was born with a Spirit Body.

"No wonder his combat power is so exaggerated."

After returning to his cave from the Star Peak, Shen Mo began to take the Foundation Building Pill.

"Gulu."

After swallowing the second-grade Foundation Building Pill, Shen Mo activated the Purple Mansion Heart Sutra and continuously absorbed the medicinal power of the pill.

[You have swallowed the second-grade spiritual pill, Foundation Building Pill. The medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill slowly spreads in your body, constantly surging. You start to activate the Purple Mansion Heart Sutra to absorb the medicinal power. Through your continuous absorption, the medicinal power gradually transforms into spiritual power and returns to your Dantian.]

[As you continue to digest the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill, the spiritual energy in your body becomes more abundant, and your cultivation level has improved.]

After about three hours of continuous absorption, Shen Mo opened his eyes and said, "This Foundation Building Pill is much stronger than the Qi Gathering Pill, but it still didn't help me break through."

He had just advanced to the Qi Gathering Realm not long ago, and although he had the assistance of spiritual pills, his accumulation was still far from enough.

This Foundation Building Pill only made his foundation more solid and his spiritual energy more abundant.

There was still some time before he could break through to the Second Heaven.

"Besides the Foundation Building Pill, there is also the Earth Element Pill!"

He thought to himself and took out a jade bottle from his pocket.

This Earth Element Pill was the introductory gift promised to him by the Peak Master of the Star Peak. It had the effect of condensing essence and blood.

According to Zhou Shili's explanation, it could assist him in cultivating his Body Refining technique.

"Let's try its effect!"

He picked up one and swallowed it.

Immediately, a burning sensation quickly spread.

The medicinal power of the Earth Element Pill spread out, greatly enhancing his internal organs, flesh, and tendons.

"Bloodthirsty Dragon Elephant Body, let me swallow it!"

When Shen Mo felt the surging blood and energy in his body, he decisively began to condense the Dragon Elephant Body.

"Splash!"

Endless essence and blood essence turned into blood-colored lines, intertwining within his body.

Finally, Shen Mo's physique began to undergo some transformation.

"The effect is not bad."

After another half an hour, Shen Mo felt the consumption of the medicinal power and tried to feel the changes in his body.

At least, his strength had increased by about ten and a half percent.

The Bloodthirsty Dragon Elephant Body, which he had never had a chance to cultivate, also made some progress.

But this progress was not significant.

Shen Mo roughly estimated that even if he absorbed the remaining four Earth Element Pills, the resulting blood and energy would not be enough for the Bloodthirsty Dragon Elephant Body to advance to the next stage.

"It seems unrealistic to promote the physique from the Elephant Body to the Dragon Body in a short period of time."

Shen Mo muttered to himself, "To improve my combat power, I need to start from other aspects."

Originally, Shen Mo was quite satisfied with his cultivation speed, and he even became somewhat complacent.

But after the battle with Lu Ming, he realized that although his strength was improving rapidly, he still had a gap compared to true geniuses.

And as one of the Five Great Immortal Sects of the Chi Yan Kingdom, the Linjiang Sect never lacked geniuses.

Therefore, the sense of urgency to improve his combat power increased.

"In a month, when I enter the Mountain and River Realm for cultivation, I will inevitably have to fight."

Guo Zhao had previously told him about the rules of the Mountain and River Realm.

Although disciples who entered could freely search for spiritual herbs and treasures, they were also allowed to snatch them from others.

Therefore, in the trials of the Shanheng realm, all the disciples who entered as inner disciples would experience battles and confrontations.

Only the strong can guarantee their own interests.

Otherwise, even if they rely on luck to gather many hidden treasures of spiritual medicine in the Shanheng realm, they will still be snatched away by others.

Within this month, Shen Mo must strive to improve his strength as much as possible.

In the hope of obtaining the greatest benefits from the Shanheng realm.

"Speaking of the Shanheng realm, I have to first solve the problem of communicating with the Spirit Cache Rat.

Its ability to ignore restrictions and search for treasures everywhere will be my core competitive advantage when I enter the Shanheng realm."

With this thought, Shen Mo cast his gaze outside the cave.

Beside the spiritual field of the cliff, the Spirit Cache Rat was curled up, resting and sleeping soundly.

Obviously unaware, Shen Mo was already planning to make it work hard.

"Go to the steward's hall and bring the contract for binding a spiritual pet."

Originally, this should have been done a long time ago, but because Shen Mo hadn't had much use for this little guy before, he kept putting it off.

Now, it was time.

With a thought, he left the cave.

An hour later, Shen Mo returned from the steward's hall, holding a scroll in his hand.

"With this, we can start binding the contract."

Shen Mo walked to the side of the Spirit Cache Rat and woke it up.

"Ying! Ying!"

The Spirit Cache Rat, still half-asleep, seemed a little unhappy to be disturbed.

"Today, you and I will sign the contract."

Shen Mo spread out the contract scroll and then lightly bit his tongue, squeezing out a drop of blood onto the contract scroll.

"It's your turn."

Shen Mo smeared the blood on the contract and placed the scroll in front of the Spirit Cache Rat.

According to the rules of the contract, both the owner and the spiritual pet must drip blood together to make the binding contract effective.

"Chi! Chi!"

The Spirit Cache Rat looked at it for a while, seemingly understanding what it needed to do.

Under Shen Mo's gaze, it bit its own little hand and pressed its handprint onto the contract scroll.

"Buzz!"

When the handprint of the Spirit Cache Rat fell, the contract scroll slowly rose with a golden glow.

At the same time, an incredibly strange feeling arose in Shen Mo and the Spirit Cache Rat's hearts.

As if in that instant, the two of them were completely bound together.

"Master?"

The first voice that entered Shen Mo's ears was a slightly crisp young boy's voice.

After hearing this voice, Shen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, "Little guy, we can finally communicate!"

"I'm hungry."

He was just about to say a few words during this important moment of binding the contract.

For example, in the future, we will accompany each other on the immortal path, depending on each other in life and death, and other sentimental words to set the mood.

But his emotions were interrupted by its statement of being hungry.

"Indeed, a foodie."

The original atmosphere completely dissipated, and Shen Mo had no interest in talking nonsense anymore, so he directly prepared a meal for it.

The ingredient was the meat of a Double-Horned Red Bull.

The meat of this kind of monster beast was considered top-grade among first-tier monster beasts, much more valuable and delicious than the Red-Browed Deer meat Shen Mo usually fed it.

He was thinking that when they arrived in the Shanheng realm in a short while, he would still need this little guy's help, so he specially bought a hundred catties from the market.

He planned to let it eat well this month as an early reward.

"Chomp, chomp!"

As the meat was served, the Spirit Cache Rat couldn't contain its joy and began to eat heartily.
