Stories of the Fourth World 54(1/3)
After carefully reading the Soul Control Art three times, Su Hang discovered that the Soul Control Art requires a contract with a spirit beast to communicate with the spirit beast's consciousness, and the requirements for the spirit beast's intelligence are relatively high, because most first-level monsters have
It’s practice based on instinct.
Without blood inheritance, he followed his instincts and exhaled spiritual energy. His mind was mostly animalistic, so he was unable to communicate.
Only monsters born with extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary blood can communicate with their master's consciousness after signing a contract. Ordinary monsters can only open up their intelligence if they have an unexpected encounter.
Su Hang is not worried about this. Xiao Qing has been following him and seems to understand everything he says. He has also taken the alien fruit before. Su Hang is not sure whether he has inherited the ancient bloodline, but his spiritual intelligence must be very high!
But seeing that the blood contract between master and servant must be used as mentioned above, Su Hang was a little hesitant.
After he suffered a disaster at home, he relied solely on Xiao Qing to survive in the huge Danxia Mountains. He also relied on Xiao Qing to embark on the path of cultivating immortals. He and Xiao Qing were just like family members. How could they sign the blood of master and servant?
Where is the deed?
This master-servant blood contract is completely beneficial to the monk's side. If the master dies, the spirit beast will be seriously injured, but if the spirit beast dies, nothing will happen to the master. Moreover, under the constraints of the contract, the spirit beast will not betray. This is also the case on the market.
Mainstream methods of controlling beasts, but Su Hang did not use such spells on Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing slowly slipped out of her sleeves. She seemed to feel Su Hang's entanglement. She used her tail to roll up the jade slip in Su Hang's hand and put it on her head. Although Xiao Qing's head was smaller than the jade slip.
There are many but there is no sense of violation, just like when Su Hang used the jade slip for the first time, he put it on his forehead to check.
After a while, Xiaoqing put the jade slip down, climbed up Suhang's shoulder lightly along Suhang's arm, and gently rubbed Suhang's cheek with his small snake head, but Suhang couldn't look out of the snake's eyes.
See something.
"Xiao Qing, don't worry, I won't use this kind of blood contract. There will definitely be a better way to communicate with you, or you can talk when you reach the third level. We don't need to use the blood contract.
They are just like brother and sister, how can they be bound by something like this?"
Xiaoqing shook her head, slid down from Su Hang's body, coiled herself in front of Su Hang, stood up, and a complex rune appeared on her head.
Su Hang, who has just watched the Beast Control Art, will naturally recognize that this is the rune of the servant in the blood contract between the master and the servant of the Beast Control Art.
"Don't be like this. I won't sign a master-servant blood contract with you. This is too unfair to you. You will lose your freedom!"
Xiaoqing shook her head firmly and stretched her head forward stubbornly, as if she was determined to sign the contract.
Su Hang turned around and stopped looking at Xiao Qing, hoping to dispel Xiao Qing's thoughts. Xiao Qing also moved himself in front of Su Hang, feeling that he would not give up until he reached his goal.
"Xiaoqing, don't force me. I will not agree to sign a blood contract. You must be obedient. I will find other ways to let you speak in the future."
"hiss!"
A black shadow flashed past, and Su Hang's finger made a small cut. Xiao Qing directly hit the rune on his head against the blood left by Su Hang's wound.
"No!"
But it was too late for Suhang to stop him. After all, Xiaoqing's cultivation level was much higher than that of Suhang. He was so fast that he could hardly meet his opponents. How could Suhang stop Xiaoqing.
The moment the runes came into contact with the blood, they emitted a faint red light and then turned into countless blood-colored chains, binding Xiaoqing's body, and then slowly penetrated through the skin.
This process was very painful. The scales on Xiaoqing's body stood up in pain, the snake's snout widened, and it made an unconscious "hissing" sound.
It lasted for a quarter of an hour, and all the chains had been penetrated. At this time, the rune on Xiao Qing's head flew into Xiao Qing's sea of consciousness. Under the influence of the spell, a small piece of Xiao Qing's soul was torn off, and it was connected with the mind.
The runes in it merge together.
This rune was divided into two parts, one remained in Xiaoqing's sea of consciousness, and the other appeared in Suhang's sea of consciousness.
Su Hang immediately sensed the effect of this rune. This rune holds the power of life and death for Xiao Qing. From now on, if Su Hang dies, Xiao Qing will also be seriously injured and die. If Xiao Qing dies, what will happen to Su Hang?
Hang will not have any impact.
Seeing the pain of Xiao Qing's body being restrained and her soul being divided, Su Hang felt heartbroken. Why did she choose this method? There are other methods!
"Brother...Brother..."
A weak call came from my mind, it was a girl's voice.
"Brother, I can finally talk to you!"
Another weak voice filled with surprise appeared in Su Hang's mind.
"Xiaoqing? Is that you? I can hear your voice!"
Su Hang responded in his mind in surprise.
"Great, brother... I can finally let you hear my voice. This is really great! I have a lot to say to my brother, but he never understands me. Now I can talk to him,
Xiaoqing is so happy!"
"Xiao Qing, how could you sign this kind of blood contract? This kind of blood contract completely stifles your freedom. If I die, I will implicate you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaoqing's life was saved by you and your mother. There was no way to save your mother at that time. Now my brother lives alone with Xiaoqing in the world. If my brother dies, what's the point of Xiaoqing's life alone?"
Xiao Qing never agrees. Xiao Qing has been looking forward to talking to her brother. Seeing such a magic formula today is really great for Xiao Qing!"
Hearing Xiao Qing's innocent and honest words, Su Hang's eyes were filled with tears. Although Xiao Qing's cultivation level was higher than his own, he was innocent at heart and regarded himself as a close relative. He would definitely not let Xiao Qing down.
Thinking that Xiao Qing had just completed the blood contract and her soul was hurt, she continued to practice, so she quickly said to Xiao Qing:
"Xiao Qing, you just suffered a trauma to your soul. You should practice hard now. Otherwise, if your soul is injured and you don't recover in time, it will definitely be bad for the future. You go to the spirit beast bag and practice first. I will help you find some repairs right away.
The elixir of the soul.”
"Okay, I listen to my brother. After I get some rest, I must have a good talk with my brother. Xiaoqing has always had a lot to say to his brother!"
Suhang sent Xiaoqing into the spirit beast bag, and also gave Xiaoqing a few medium-grade spirit stones and some elixirs for strengthening the soul. The elixirs for healing the soul are very rare, and there is no such elixir in the Suhang Jade Pendant.
, I had no choice but to go to Jubaozhai to inquire about it.
I hurried to Jubaozhai and it was already dark. Suhang only left here in the morning and came back in the evening.
Manager Wang happened to be in the lobby, and when he saw Su Hang with a hurried expression, he thought to himself: 'Is it because the Red Flame Bird blocked the way that the Red Flame Ring could not be refined and returned?'
I wanted to go back and think about it, but I didn't dare to say that. I quickly smiled and greeted Su Hang:
"Little friend, what's going on in such a hurry?"
Su Hang saw Manager Wang and there were other monks in the hall, but did not elaborate:
"Senior Wang, let's talk upstairs!"
He and Manager Wang went to the single room on the second floor. As soon as the door was closed, before Manager Wang could sit down, Su Hang asked anxiously:
"Senior Wang, I wonder if there is any elixir that can cure the injuries of the soul? I would like to purchase one or two." "My dear, is the soul injured?"
Wang Quan looked at Su Hang with confusion. Although his expression was hurried, he didn't look like his soul was hurt. Moreover, there was no need for this during the morning purchase.
'Do you mean to recover the spirit beasts? Wouldn't it be better to have a master-servant contract with the spirit beasts and let the spirit beasts cultivate themselves for a few months? Why do we need elixirs to repair the souls? Today's spirit beasts are all ordinary monsters.
, has no value of being recovered at all?'
"My loved one's soul has been damaged, so I need to continue with the elixir. I wonder if there is such a elixir in Jubaozhai?"
It turned out that this was the case, and the king showed a look of difficulty on his face.
"My friend, these elixirs for repairing the soul are extremely rare. Once they appear, they will be competed by monks. We don't have them now. Moreover, all the elixirs for repairing the soul can be taken directly to nourish the soul and strengthen the soul.
Mind you, unlike elixirs that will harm the body if taken directly, they naturally have a price but no market."
"Then I wonder if there is any news about this?"
"I'm very sorry, our Jubaozhai doesn't have such information for the time being. You should be thinking of other ways!"
After walking out of Jubaozhai, Su Hang asked several elixir and alchemy shops, but none of them had elixirs for the soul.
Just when Su Hang gave up, a monk with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks quietly approached Su Hang.
"I heard that Taoist friends are looking for elixirs to repair the soul. I have news. I wonder if you dare to come."
Su Hang looked this person up and down.
'Although his appearance seems cunning, my father has taught me since I was a child not to judge people by their appearance, so he does not despise this person. This person's cultivation level is also at the sixth level of Qi training. My cultivation level is higher than his, so naturally I am not afraid of him.'
"Okay, you lead the way! This is not the place to talk."
The thin man didn't expect Suhang to agree so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted: "Come this way!"
I followed the man to a tavern, which seemed a little bigger than the one where Su Hang lived.
"There are already three friends above. Including you and me, there are five people in total. Come up to discuss cooperation on this matter!"
Su Hang nodded.
'This situation has been taken into consideration. If not for the cooperation of multiple people, it is absolutely impossible for the thin man to recruit someone with a higher cultivation level than himself to join the gang.'
In a large private room on the third floor, there were a man and two women sitting. The man did not speak and was drinking alone. The two women were whispering something.
"Brother, this fellow Taoist Ren is the last fellow Taoist I invited."
The skinny man had told Su Hang on the way that his name was Yan Feng, and the eldest brother he called must be the man who was drinking.
After seeing Yan Feng, the man put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Su Hang:
"I'm Yan Xiong, a casual cultivator."
After that, he remained silent, looked cold, and the situation was a bit awkward.
Seeing this, Yan Feng said to Su Hang embarrassedly:
"Brother Ren, don't blame me. My eldest brother is not good at communicating with others. Unlike me, he is a talkative. He just likes to drink and doesn't like to talk!"
