Was it vengeance before, and now it’s gratitude?
That’s quite interesting.
Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit curious and satisfied about his future spirit pet.
It has a personality, and it’s not dumb.
After witnessing it finish its act of revenge and gratitude, it returned to the corpses of those two Spirit Fish, devouring their flesh raw to strengthen itself.
Ji Yuan silently waited for it to finish eating the corpses of the two Spirit Fish, and then proceeded to perform the spirit pet contract ritual.
Currently, the Frost Serpent is still a youngling and naturally needs to be subdued quickly.
A mont later, Ji Yuan first dropped a drop of his blood onto the contract ritual, then, after bringing the Frost Serpent out of the water, subdued it and extracted a drop of its Frost Blood.
Ji Yuan was extrely careful, ensuring his blood was dropped onto the Main Talisman.
If it was dropped incorrectly, the contract would still take effect, but the result would be reversed, making him the slave of the Frost Serpent.
But just as he was waiting for the Frost Serpent’s blood to be dropped into the contract, the ritual suddenly collapsed, the spell forced, and the contract failed.
"Hmm?"
Ji Yuan was a bit surprised, what’s going on?
He was sure his spell wasn’t wrong, if the spell was incorrect, it wouldn’t be possible to perform it at all.
Could it be that the spell’s level is too low to contract a Tier Three Demon Beast?
Thinking about it, it seed like the only possible reason, because this contract ritual was sothing Ji Yuan bought on the streets of Lishui City, and it wasn’t expensive, priced at just a Mid-grade Spirit Stone.
Ji Yuan originally thought about asking Li Changhe, since he had already contracted a Tier Three Demon Beast, the Winged Flying Tiger, so he would certainly know.
He had already taken out his Communication Talisman to contact Li Changhe, but ultimately Ji Yuan abandoned the idea.
Asking Li Changhe would inevitably lead him to guess that Ji Yuan also has a Tier Three Demon Beast youngling.
Ji Yuan intended to keep the matter of the Frost Serpent hidden, not planning to let others know until it grows up, and Hua Yaoyue wouldn’t be told either.
So Ji Yuan looked at the Frost Serpent and still put it into the Fish Pond, while he returned to the sect and went to the Scripture Pavilion.
Inquiring here, he indeed received an accurate reply.
Demon Beasts above Tier Three require a more complex contract ritual to succeed.
This contract ritual in the Scripture Pavilion wasn’t cheap either.
The price was a whopping 1200 achievent points.
Ji Yuan himself certainly didn’t have enough, over the years he hadn’t undertaken any tasks other than the annual guaranteed 100 achievent points.
Given this... he would have to borrow.
Like Spirit Stones, achievent points within the sect could be spent and naturally borrowed.
Ji Yuan thought for a while and took out Dong Qian’s Communication Talisman.
Finding Du Wanyi was also an option, but she was currently in seclusion.
As for Phoenix Peach, considering her personality, borrowing achievent points wouldn’t be a problem, but she would incessantly inquire.
However, Dong Qian wouldn’t do that, she’s tactful and wouldn’t ask questions.
Once Ji Yuan explained he needed to borrow achievent points, she barely asked anything and simply said to et on Thousand chanism Island.
To borrow achievent points, it must be processed through Thousand chanism Hall on Thousand chanism Island.
Half a day later, at Thousand chanism Hall.
Ji Yuan saw Dong Qian descending from the sky, and compared to before, she had changed into a deep blue Spirit Robe that symbolized her status.
Previously, during the Qi Cultivation Stage, she routinely wore an extrely loose Magic Robe to conceal her graceful figure, but now in the Foundation Establishnt Stage it’s different.
The slightly loose Spirit Robe was tied with a belt at her waist, making her waist appear slender and her chest even more prominent.
Even soone as composed as Ji Yuan couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at such beauty.
"Let’s go, junior."
Dong Qian wasn’t angry with Ji Yuan’s gaze but instead smiled at him gently.
"Aren’t you going to ask how much I’m borrowing, senior sister?"
Ji Yuan transmitted his voice to her.
"No matter how much junior needs, I’ll lend it."
"I an, aren’t you worried you won’t have enough achievent points?"
"Well... as long as junior isn’t looking to exchange for any scarce treasures, it should be enough."
Quickly, Ji Yuan understood why Dong Qian was so confident.
Because she has a lot of achievent points, many more... Ji Yuan glanced at them. Even after lending him 1000 achievent points, Dong Qian still had more than 8000!
Turns out, she’s a powerhouse.
With the achievent points in hand, the two parted ways, and Ji Yuan prepared to go to the Scripture Pavilion.
But as he was leaving, he noticed Dong Qian’s smile seed to carry so... deep aning?
All in all, it was as if there was sothing she wanted to say, but she didn’t, and Ji Yuan didn’t pursue it further.
Heading to the Scripture Pavilion, Ji Yuan exchanged for the high-level contract ritual, then rushed back to Mist Island, afraid that if he delayed, the Frost Serpent might escape.
If it were to flee into the vast Cloud Rain Marsh, it would be like a fish swimming into the sea, never to be found again.
A day later, Ji Yuan returned to Mist Island.
Good news: The Frost Serpent is still in the Fish Pond.
Bad news: The Fish Pond is almost depleted.
When Ji Yuan left, it had only killed three or four Spirit Fish.
Now upon his return... Ji Yuan, using his Divine Sense, counted and feared it had killed forty or fifty Spirit Fish!
And this was within just over two days.
Having eaten so many Spirit Fish, fortunately, its strength increased from the mid to the late stage of Tier One, so it wasn’t in vain.
But its appetite.
Darn it, hopefully, it doesn’t eat into poverty!
As long as the Frost Serpent is still here, that’s good.
Ji Yuan dared not delay; if he waited for it to grow further, once it reached Tier Two, contracting would beco extraordinarily difficult.
He promptly went to the Enlightennt Room, spending half a day to fully comprehend the contract ritual.
He ca to the Fish Pond, first using a Flying Sword to force the Frost Serpent out of the water, then used the Star Spiral Cloud Barrier Formation to trap it, and the Flying Sword to extract its blood.
Two drops of blood fell into the contract array.
The contract was finally completed.
With two streaks of light entering each other’s brows, Ji Yuan felt a new connection with the Frost Serpent.
He could not only control this Serpent but compared to the previous distance, the Frost Serpent now felt very close to him. It imdiately swam ashore and then climbed onto Ji Yuan’s shoulder, coiling around his arm.
Feeling the coolness from his arm.
Ji Yuan was completely at ease.
He actually raised a Serpent!
Next, it’s ti to feed it into a Tier Three Demon Beast.
With this thought, Ji Yuan took out a drop of Level 3 Ice Soul Cold Dew produced by the Fish Pond from his Storage Bag.
