Chapter 13
The spiritual beasts in this world, levels one to three, are collectively referred to as low-level spiritual beasts, levels four to six are mid-level spiritual beasts, and levels six to nine are high-level spiritual beasts.
As for those above level nine, they are auspicious beasts, fierce beasts, holy beasts, and divine beasts.
Those are totally beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
Although there are still various legends about mythical beasts circulating in the world of cultivation, after all, the mythical beasts have not appeared in the world for many years. It is a question whether there are still mythical beasts in this small world.
For most cultivators, high-level spiritual beasts are something they can only encounter by chance.
Take the Questioning Heart Sect as an example. The Wenxin Sect is a comprehensive sect that dabbles in swordsmanship, talismans, formations, beast taming, etc., but is not proficient in any of them. The most advanced beast taming sect is none other than the Holy Beast Sect.
But even the Holy Beast Sect only has a limited number of high-level spiritual beasts.
The most common ones are mid-level spirit beasts.
A sixth-order spirit beast is already a considerable combat force, equivalent to the cultivation level of a human at the Nascent Soul stage. A sixth-level spirit beast egg costs more than tens of millions of high-quality spirit stones. As for high-level spirit beasts, they can no longer be measured with high-quality spirit stones.
Looking at the entire Beast Peak of the Wenxin Sect, there are only three high-level spirit beasts in total. One is the peak master’s contracted beast, a seventh-level wind wolf. There are two more, the eighth-level Wind-Thunder Tiger and the eighth-level Illusion Heart Butterfly.
These three spiritual beasts can be said to be the treasures of the Beast Peak. Except for the Wind Wolf, the other two are looked after by special people every day. The life he lives is no different from that of emperors in the mortal world.
What did the melon-eating system say in the end?
Picking up a high-level spiritual beast? There is actually a high-level spiritual beast in the sect?
The master of Beast Peak felt complicated and indescribable in his heart for a moment.
In order to thank Ning Xu, the sect specially mixed in a few mid-level spirit beasts among the tens of thousands of low-level spirit beasts.
At that time, the intermediate-level spirit beast will take the initiative to come to Ning Xu and let her choose.
But now, high-level spirit beasts have appeared, and all the efforts made by the sect may be of no use. However, having one more high-level spiritual beast in the sect is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
When all the elders were so shocked by the news that they didn't know what to say, the heartbeat of the melon-eating system sounded lazily again.
[Wait a minute, when you sign the contract, just the most ordinary contract will do. 】
Ning Shu asked casually, "Why?"
The melon-eating system explained, "This spirit beast is only at level nine. 】
[A cultivator can only contract one natal spirit beast in his lifetime. Unless the master dies, the master and the natal spirit beast will be bound together for life. 】
[As for other contracts, they all have age limits. Only the most common contracts are the most casual. 】
The Lord of Beast Peak trembled slightly in his heart.
Only level nine...
only……
Ninth level...
He also wanted to own a spiritual beast that was "only level nine".
The melon-eating system continued, [If it is a normal contract, then when the time comes, if either you or the spirit beast doesn't want to do it anymore, you can disband at any time. 】
Is it okay to break up at any time?
Ning Xu, "...Are you sure this will work?"
The melon-eating system didn't care and said, "Why not?" Since this high-level spirit beast has been disguising itself as a low-level spirit beast, it means that it either does not want to be contracted as a life-long spirit beast, or it does not want to be kept in captivity by the sect.
Although the two eighth-level spirit beasts on the Beast Peak were treated well, they also lost their freedom.
Who knows, maybe it just wants freedom?
If you sign an ordinary contract with this ninth-level spirit beast, it will probably be so happy that it won't even have time to express itself. 】After all, we can break up at any time, right?
Ning Xu thought about it carefully and felt that what the melon-eating system said made sense. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The elders and disciples who had been eavesdropping on Ning Xu and the melon-eating system's thoughts said: You guys don't even think highly of the ninth-rank spirit beast!
what to do!
So envious! So jealous!
This is a ninth-level spiritual beast! If it were placed outside, it could be auctioned for hundreds of millions of top-grade spirit stones in minutes, and it might even become a ninth-rank spirit beast that would be fought over by countless powerful men!
So, you just plan to use it as a transitional spiritual beast for the time being?
If anyone else had suggested this, the elder would have certainly cursed.
What's the matter? It hasn't been long since you started practicing Taoism, but you're already so ambitious? You don’t even look down on ninth-rank spiritual beasts, so you have to contract a divine beast or a holy beast? How shameless!
But it was the melon-eating system that made this suggestion.
And it is very likely that it is really capable of finding a divine beast!
what to do!
Even more envious! Even more jealous!
Seeing that other fellow disciples had already started to contract flying spirit beasts, Ning Xu also took action immediately.
"Where is it?"
The melon-eating system clicked its tongue and said, "It's in the southeast." Just follow my instructions. 】
"good."
Ning Xu walked in the direction indicated by the melon-eating system. After more than half an hour, she looked at the dozens of spirit beasts in front of her and fell into silence.
She finally understood why, with so many people in the sect, no one noticed the existence of a high-level spiritual beast here!
If she didn't have the melon-eating system, she wouldn't have thought of coming here to pick up the bargain.
Who could have thought that a ninth-rank spiritual beast could actually disguise itself as a pig? !
Moreover, it is a low-level spiritual beast that may end up on the monks’ table at any time—a pig? !
Not only Ning Xu remained silent, but also the sect leaders who had been secretly following her with their spiritual sense.
After a ninth-rank spirit beast fully grows up, it will possess a cultivation level equivalent to that of a human cultivator in the tribulation-crossing stage. Before it grows up, it is equivalent to a genius among human cultivators, with outstanding talents, and is considered a dragon and phoenix among beasts.
As a result, not only does it not have the slightest bit of arrogance that comes with being a genius, it is also extremely adaptable and resilient.
All I can say is that this time, they missed out on the high-level spirit beast, and it wasn’t unfair at all.
-
Ning Xu was silent for a while, then asked, "Which one?"
The melon-eating system said, [The one on the far right, the one that eats the bran most happily and wags its tail most lively. 】
Ning Xu, "..."
Very good, this feature is very obvious and can be noticed at a glance.
"Isn't that a mistake?"
The melon-eating system clicked its tongue and said, "No, you still have doubts about my ability?" 】
"I mean, a ninth-level spirit beast."
[It can’t be wrong.] 】
"good."
After all, it is a ninth-rank spiritual beast. Is he so deeply into the role? After it blended into the pigpen, there was absolutely no sense of incongruity.
If the melon-eating system hadn't sworn that this was a ninth-level spiritual beast, Ning Xu would never have believed it.
Ning Shu was a little curious, "Does it have pig blood?"
Melon-eating system, [no. 】
[It has nothing to do with the spirit beast pig.] As for what its true form is, you will slowly discover it after you sign a normal contract with it. 】
"good."
Ning Shu walked slowly to the spirit pig that was eating bran.
After observing it closely, Ning Shu found that its whole body was pink in color. Apart from being a little dirty, a little smelly, a little fat, and a little extra greedy, it didn't seem to have any major flaws.
Ning Shu squatted in front of it and asked, "Are you willing to sign a normal contract with me?"
Generally, when a cultivator signs a contract for a spirit beast, the process is the same.
Ask the spirit beast if it is willing first.
If you don't want to, then buy some little gadgets that the spirit beasts like to eat, use, and play with.
More coaxing.
Generally, after going through this process, most spirit beasts would agree.
If it really doesn't work, you can only give up and choose the next one. Of course, if you really have to have this spirit beast, you can also pester it and try to gain its favor in various ways.
This spiritual beast in front of you, no matter how much it looks like a pig, is not a real pig. Faced with a ninth-rank spirit beast, Ning Xu couldn't force it to sign a contract. He could only negotiate the terms. If it was just an ordinary contract, it should agree, right? After all, this lowest level of contract is extremely easy to terminate.
If either party wants to go back on their word, they can do so at any time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the pig suddenly raised its huge head.
It has a pair of pink pig ears on its head. When the wind blows, the little ears move, which is quite cute.
The spirit pig blinked its small, bright eyes, and when Ning Shu was waiting patiently for its reply, it unexpectedly bit her arm.
The next second, the life contract is completed!
Ning Xu, "???"
Melon eating system, "..."
The disciples and elders watching: …
This development was truly unexpected.
After a few seconds of silence, the melon-eating system reacted and couldn't bear it anymore, [What's going on? ah? What on earth is going on! Is there such a forced sale? 】
[It has been disguised in the sect for so long, isn't it just because it doesn't want to sign a life contract with others? 】
[Why did you sign the life contract without saying anything when it was your turn? 】
[I said ordinary contract, ordinary contract! How could this be wrong? 】
Ning Shu said helplessly, "Calm down."
For the first time, she discovered that the melon-eating system, in addition to being sharp-tongued, also had a bad temper.
In fact, she also wanted to know why the spirit beast pig took the initiative to sign a life contract with her.
Is it because you think she has potential, or is there some other reason?
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she inexplicably saw a glimmer of wisdom in Zhuzhu’s little eyes.
Could it be that it was intentional?
Compared to the angry melon-eating system, Ning Xu was much calmer.
She said casually, "Since I have signed the life contract, it means that I have a connection with it."
The melon-eating system is not convinced, [Are we destined to be together? What a fate! Your destiny is clearly behind! 】
The disdain of the melon-eating system is clearly shown on its face.
Ning Xu is, after all, its bound host.
The natal spirit beast she signed a contract with, not to mention the Four Sacred Beasts, should at least be a divine beast, right?
What's the result!
As a result, she signed a contract with a ninth-level spirit beast!
The eavesdropping disciples couldn't help but shout in their hearts: I'm tired of saying the word envy. This is the ninth-rank spiritual beast that countless people are flocking to! If they could sign a contract for this spirit beast, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams!
Ning Xu spread his hands and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's just leave it at that." A ninth-rank spirit beast was already very good. There is no need to insist on some divine or sacred beast.
The melon-eating system scanned the spirit beast pig up and down, and said critically, "Let me take another look, let me take a closer look..."
Ning Xu was helpless.
After scanning for a while, the melon-eating system suddenly yelled.
Ning Xu, "?"
"What's going on?"
The melon-eating system did not respond.
Ning Shu asked, "What happened?"
The melon-eating system said intermittently, [Hehehehe, it...it! 】
it?
Then what?
Melon eating system, [……]
Well, nothing happened after that. This is the energy running out again.
So, what did the melon-eating system figure out?
The disciples couldn't help but shout wildly in their hearts: We really want to know too! ! !
So, can you please not always eat only half of the melon? Fellow Daoist Ning, improving your cultivation is truly urgent!
