On the second floor of the pharmacy, Xia Xiao turned his head and glanced at the Lin family servants, causing them to stop in their tracks and not dare to move forward.

"Hold on!"

After saying that, Xia Xiao closed the door, sat down cross-legged, and concentrated on calming his mind.

Shu Shuang waited quietly by the side, imagining Xia Xiao having walked into the dense forest.

Running along the green grass path and arriving in front of the altar, Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ju Mang was still there.

"I thought you had already started."

Today was the day that Ju Mang was going to devour the black gold growth leaf and begin his transformation. If he had already started, Xia Xiao would have nothing to give Lin Jing. But fortunately, Xia Xiao caught up!

"Start right away. I'm getting ready."

After half a month of growth, Ju Mang grew a little bigger, from Xia Xiao's thigh to almost as tall as him. Looking at Ju Mang, who was 1.7 meters tall and had a human head and a bird body, Xia Xiao's worry finally happened. The little meatball when he was a child, now became... a big fat boy, not cute at all, but tough!

The fat on Ju Mang's belly kept falling down. Although his wings had grown bigger, they looked very weak against the background of his spherical head and oval belly. If Xia Xiao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a guy could fly. In fact, Xia Xiao knew very well that if Ju Mang hadn't been able to control the wind, he probably wouldn't have been able to fly.

At this moment, Ju Mang stared at the small tree in front of him in a daze. It was only half a meter tall, with dozens of leaves of different sizes, and the whole tree exuded a heavy metallic luster, like steel. If it were not for Ju Mang's power, it would probably take more than ten years for it to grow to this size.

"I'll skim some off."

As Xia Xiao spoke, he began to look for a suitable part. He needed a section that was similar to the original black gold leaf.

"That's fine."

Ju Mang looked at the small tree every day and was familiar with every part of it. He immediately ran to the side and left a small section.

"I'll see you later!"

Xia Xiao was about to go back the same way, but Ju Mang slapped him on the butt. No matter how this guy has changed, his personality is still as cheerful as when he was a child. Xia Xiao smiled and stood up in the room.

In Shu Shuang's beautiful eyes, a small ball of dark golden light emerged from Xia Xiao's palm, and then turned into black golden leaves as long as fingers.

He opened the door and handed it to the Lin family servant, who put it in a small box, holding it as if it were a treasure, and walked down the steps carefully, fearing that it would be bumped into.

"Jumang is preparing to transform."

When Shu Shuang heard this, she said to Xia Xiaopu:

"After the birds and wild beasts use the Black Gold Growth Leaf, they become stronger the longer they transform. I wonder how long it will take Ju Mang."

"How long is the longest?"

"Not sure, because there are few records of such things, but I have seen it once."

Xia Xiao immediately became interested, his eyes lit up, and he listened to Shu Shuang continue.

"Sister Yun Qing is a key figure in Zou Shou Church who holds intelligence. Her contracted beast is a level 6 Cang Yun Fire Bird. After eating Wu Jin Growth Leaves, it took a month to break through to the level 7 Dome Wings, and its strength has increased a lot."

It is much more difficult for wild beasts to break through than for humans to practice, which shows the magic of the black gold leaves.

"Jumang will need at least two months."

After that, Xia Xiao entered the forest to see Ju Mang preparing to transform. If possible, he really wanted to bring Shu Shuang in, but the contract space was very magical. Except for the owner of the spirit contract and the contracted beast, no one else could enter. It was a real space, an absolute pure land for the owner of the spirit contract!

When he walked to the altar, Ju Mang seemed to be waiting for him.

"Are you ready?"

"alright!"

Ju Mang nodded, looked at Xia Xiao meaningfully, and said:

"When I show up next time, I'll be able to bring you stronger power."

As Xia Xiao's contracted beast, Ju Mang often communicates with Xia Xiao, so he understands Xia Xiao and knows what Xia Xiao is thinking. When Xia Xiao needs strength, Ju Mang becomes stronger.

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Xia Xiaozheng nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back and take me to the top, but during the transformation process, you must pay attention to safety. You should know that our lives have long been tied together through a spiritual contract!"

Xia Xiao had never gone through the process of signing a spiritual contract, but he knew the feeling of being connected by fate. At this moment, he looked at Ju Mang, which gave him great motivation.

"I'm going!"

After Ju Mang finished speaking, a hint of determination appeared on his fat face.

"come on!"

Xia Xiao said this and stood under a tree on the side. He would be the only person to witness Ju Mang's transformation!

Standing in front of a half-meter-high tree, Ju Mang fully spread his wings. The leaf-like wings were four meters wide when connected together. Ju Mang's expression gradually became serious, and he opened his big mouth, swallowing the dark golden light transformed by the small tree on the ground into his body like a whale. Immediately, lightning and thunder flashed, and strong winds blew. Ju Mang's transformation officially began!

Leaning against the tree behind him, Xia Xiao watched as Ju Mang's body began to crack, with dark golden light emitting from it.

"ah--"

Ju Mang's face turned to the sky and he screamed, his young voice becoming hoarse from the torture.

Feeling depressed, Xia Xiao knelt on the ground and looked at Ju Mang in disbelief. What kind of pain must he be enduring?

Boom!

Overhead, dark clouds gathered and gradually darkened, with thunder and lightning roaring, and the sound of breaking wind was like the roar of a dragon. Below, the trees swayed irregularly, making a rustling sound, forcing Xia Xiao to hold onto the tree trunks to avoid being blown away.

The grass and flowers in the altar bricks were crushed, and a sudden force appeared between heaven and earth. Green light emerged from the cracks in each brick, forming a mysterious pattern.

Xia Xiao squinted in the wind, and when he looked carefully, he found that it was Ju Mang!

boom--

A powerful force of wood rushed up to the sky. Xia Xiao's eyes blurred and he seemed to see the other four altars.

Deep under the sea, the altar has long been abandoned, and seaweed has grown there, dancing lonely in the water.

The altar is only a thin layer on the surging magma, and it seems that it will melt at any time.

Among the strange rocks in the Gobi Desert, an altar stands on stone pillars, and it seems that it will never collapse.

The last one is in a metal hall. The heavy luster of the metal is so sharp and pointed that it dazzles the eyes.

Xia Xiao blinked suddenly, and the thing that flashed in his eyes disappeared. Ten meters away, Ju Mang's body moved.

The wings that were spread out seemed to be burned by fire, turning into ashes like paper. His body moved into the beam of light that was transformed by the power of the wood element, and was repeatedly washed by it.

This cruel transformation is no less than being burned in fire. If you survive, you will be reborn in Nirvana! If you can't survive, you will probably turn into dust in the fire.

Ju Mang's voice had long disappeared, but the thunder roared even more fiercely, and the wind was no less powerful, and the trees swayed more and more. Xia Xiao held the tree trunk tightly with both hands, and the beam of light transformed by the power of the wood element in his eyes gradually became smaller, and finally suddenly turned into a needle, connecting the sky and the earth, and was slowly blown away by the wind.

Xia Xiao's body, which was almost parallel to the ground, gradually fell down. When he stood firm, he looked up at Ju Mang. The latter had turned into a cocoon, wrapped by dark green trees. They were tight, as if they had been repeatedly compressed and indestructible. How strong a force would it take to break through it? Xia Xiao didn't know, but he was looking forward to Ju Mang breaking out of the cocoon, and even more looking forward to the other four altars he had just seen.

What kind of story is contained in those four rows of altars?

Gradually leaving the altar, Xia Xiao looked back at the cocoon above the forest and returned to the room.

Before Shu Shuang knew it, Xia Xiao had been gone for an hour and she was getting impatient.

"how's it going?"

She knew that transformation was risky and if she made a mistake, something bad might happen.

"all the best."

"That's good. You didn't even know that you looked really bad just now."

"I was scared. I didn't expect the noise to be so big."

Xia Xiao took the towel from Shu Shuang's hand and wiped the sweat off his face. He was completely wet.

"By the way, should we participate in the spirit hunt?"

"join!"

Xia Xiao was very sure that the spirit hunt in less than half a month would be a great opportunity!

"Although we have money now, there are some spiritual medicines that money can't buy. The rewards for spiritual hunting are rich, and we are worth competing for. More importantly, all the outstanding young people in Rongcheng will be here!"

Xia Xiao came to Rongcheng to put pressure on himself and give himself motivation to practice. But after more than half a month, he has not seen even one outstanding junior in Rongcheng, let alone the distance between them, and he is a little uncertain. This is a good opportunity. Xia Xiao thinks they are not worse than Liu Yidao. Maybe Lin Tian will be stronger than Liu Yidao!

This young man who has the same name as the general of the Great Xia Dynasty is worthy of Xia Xiao's attention. When he thought of him, Xia Xiao was ready to practice!

This time there were finally two beds and two rooms. Xia Xiao no longer had to sleep on the floor, and changing clothes was much more convenient. However, he didn't have the chance to peek at Shu Shuang's slim figure.

Pah! Realizing his own thoughts, Xia Xiao smiled bitterly. Shu Shuang's figure was indeed good. It was estimated that in a few years, she would be a goddess with a pure appearance and a sexy figure. I don't know how many men would pursue her.

Don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore, Xia Xiao calmed down, sat on the soft bed, and made a "He" seal.

The heaven and earth's vital energy was sensed, and then it gathered towards Xia Xiao's Dantian in a translucent gaseous state. He breathed in and out in a measured manner, allowing the vital energy to enter his body. Xia Xiao was now at the peak of his walking skills, and there was a lot of vital energy in his body, but it was all scattered. Only by gathering them together could he condense the vital energy seed.

Xia Xiao was ready to give it a try, and he focused all his energy on one thing, trying to imagine the appearance of the energy seed. He was the only one who could see that kind of thing, so it felt mysterious.

In the dark space, the energy from all around continued to gather and slowly formed a ball. However, it did not solidify, but rather somewhat dispersed.

Xia Xiao frowned and felt like he was holding a ball of sand. Because he used too much force, it flowed through his fingers.

Bang!

The vitality exploded, and Xia Xiao's bed shook violently, startling the old man downstairs and looking up at the ceiling in disbelief, then laughed and said:

"I knew something was going to happen sooner or later, but as a young person, you should be braver. Don't wait until you are old to think about these things, because then it will be too late..."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, there was another loud noise above his head, this time it was Shu Shuang's bed. The old man, who had no idea, smiled and waved to the apprentice.

"Work, work."

"Sir, what are Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang doing upstairs?"

"Go home and ask your parents!"
