The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 492 - 223: Eight, Eight-legged Cattle Horse?! _2

"Ouch... it hurts so much!"

"Excruciating pain... the ultimate delight!"

In the middle of the second month of seclusion, Mo advanced to the Great Completion of Jade Infant.

Only three days later, GuaGua, who immersed itself daily in the sap of the Water Dagger Tree Demon, also advanced to Great Completion of Jade Infant.

Under the same cultivation stage, with the "GuaGua Brand Shower Gel" and "GuaGua Brand Body Lotion", two of its purifying and recovery Skills, it could also inflict great pain on Mo.

Of course, normally, there would be no need for GuaGua to exert itself.

Previously, Goose Immortal was always disgusted with Mo — finding him troublesome for constantly requiring attention and time.

Now, Goose Immortal waited daily for the opportunity to violently beat him.

It even controlled its strength, fearing that Mo might collapse all at once and hence not be properly "served" for the day.

"Hurrah~~~"

The torrent of power and authority ran day by day.

At the end of the second month, the experience points of the "Demon Servant" reached 100%.

Under Goose Immortal’s expectant gaze, Ye Hanjun meditated for three days and three nights.

At that time, the vital energy around him surged continuously, numerous tiny yet intense reactions taking place.

"Put up a fight, Human Master!"

"Old Sha is about to advance to the Wheel of Life Embryo. If this Immortal gets stepped on by a subordinate, my face would be totally lost!"

The Goose Immortal, its wings strained... stared intently!

"Boom! Boom!!"

As if thunderbolts were exploding beside his ears, a trace of agony appeared on Ye Hanjun’s face, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He opened his eyes, showing signs of wilting, and numerous blood threads filled his eyes.

"Even with the perfection of both powers, I still couldn’t advance..."

"But I have a feeling that the problem isn’t a lack of upward path for the powers, but rather the barrier being too thick requiring gradual chiseling."

"How is that possible!" Goose Immortal panicked, "How many points does this ’gradual’ amount to? How much time exactly?"

"I don’t know." Ye Hanjun shook his head, "I know you are in a hurry, but can you not be so eager for now?"

"You can still cultivate now, just that the extra portion is suppressed deep in your bloodline. When the bonds get loosened, it would naturally surge all at once."

"Perhaps, when I advance, you’ll be able to achieve the rare triple jump in thousands of years, directly soaring to Great Completion of Life Wheel, creating a good story."

"That might stifle me. Damn it! Damn it!"

The Goose Immortal fluttered its wings and made a series of random slashes in the air.

Having vented its feelings, it finally calmed down with a long sigh.

"For the sake of a more distant future, this Immortal will endure!"

"Human Master, you must work hard. How can the mere 4th Order block your way?!"

"Indeed, just the mere 4th Order..."

Ye Hanjun wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with a white handkerchief. His eyes flickered as he agreed wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, GuaGua’s "GuaGua Brand Body Lotion" landed on him, immediately normalizing the chaos in his blood. His lower abdomen became warm and his whole body felt relaxed.

"Thank you."

Ye Hanjun patted GuaGua’s head; his gloom cleared to reveal a faint smile.

...

"Master Han, there’s a horse outside that wants to see you."

One day into the third month of seclusion,

Just as Ye Hanjun arrived at the main camp of the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, Su Mei descended from the sky on a Pink Winged Dragon.

Seeing her slightly strange expression and her hesitant look,

Ye Hanjun had a hunch and hailed GuaGua to transform into a sand sculpture to transport him.

"GuaGua~~"

Little GuaGua didn’t hesitate and transformed instantly.

In its transformed state, it couldn’t use its actual Skills, but it gained the corresponding physical properties, which was a terrifying trait.

After just a few flaps of its wings, the duo — one frog and one dragon — broke through the clouds and reached the foot of the mountain.

"Master Han..."

At the foot of the mountain, in front of the mountain gate, Li Jingming — dressed in blue brocade with three Fond Spirits surrounding him — waited.

The most normal one was a "Faceless Demon Moth", his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit. After recent cultivation, it was very close to achieving Small Achievement of Jade Infant, with only a thin line away.

Additionally, there was a grey mantis, holding two Mud Blades in its hands. It looked quite impressive.

Ye Hanjun didn’t pay attention to the two insect-like Fond Spirits for the moment.

His attention was instead focused on the third Fond Spirit. His pupils slightly widened in astonishment.

"Heehee... Moo!!!"

Upon seeing its owner from its memory, Lao Liu was so excited it was blubbering.

It broke free from the leash around its neck, trotting forward with a burst of speed, stopping right in front of Ye Hanjun.

"You..."

Ye Hanjun, slightly stunned, subconsciously extended his hand to stroke the hair on Lao Liu’s forehead, calming its emotions.

"Heehee... Moo!!!!!"

Lao Liu gave another loud moo before resting against Ye Hanjun’s hand, its teary eyes filling with affection.

"Master Han, let me explain."

"I had to go to the battlefield before and couldn’t bring Little Blade with me, so I had to leave it in a farm in Canghai Pavilion and asked a Mentor to look after it."

"Recently, I had some free time, so I secretly returned to the Academy and wanted to bring it back for further cultivation."

"In the process, I also carried out your previous entrustment to bring back this Eight-legged Cattle Horse that you’d once nurtured."

Scratching his neck, Li Jingming revealed a strange expression on his handsome face, saying,

"But... it’s too unbelievable."

"You also left an Eight-legged Cattle Horse in the Pavillion, entrusting other Mentors to look after it."
