Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 177 Contract
Li Zhen saw the situation inside the cave through the mechanical bird. If he had not known in advance that this was the nest of the 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast', he would never have thought that this was the cave of the monster.

Because everything in the cave is arranged according to the habits of human monks, to be precise, this is a cave residence of human monks.

He didn't know whether the 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast' built this cave, or whether the cave originally existed and was occupied by the 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast' as its nest, but the cave in front of him made him feel good.

The mechanical bird went deep into the cave. There was no door in the cave that could allow the mechanical bird to enter smoothly.

Li Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief. The mechanical bird had the function of detecting life. After entering the cave, no life was found, which meant that the cave was empty.

He crossed the waterfall and entered the cave.

The front hall of the cave should be a place to entertain guests, but it seems that the 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast' has no human guests to entertain. There is only a stone table and two stone benches here, and no other human items.

Li Zhen started to sense spiritual objects, but there were no spiritual objects he could sense in the front hall, which made him very disappointed.

He continued inside and through the front hall was a small garden, but now it was a wasteland.

In his opinion, this should be a spiritual field, where cultivators use spiritual veins to grow various spiritual plants. If this is his cave, he will plant spiritual tea trees and some spiritual medicines here to make the best use of the spiritual veins here.

Speaking of spiritual veins, he only then realized that he had entered the middle of the cave, but did not feel any rich spiritual energy.

You should know that this is the cave of a late-stage third-order great demon, and the corresponding spiritual vein must be at least a third-order top-quality spiritual vein.

No wonder the garden here has turned into a wasteland. Without sufficient spiritual energy, the spiritual soil of the spiritual field will slowly lose its spirituality and eventually turn into mortal soil.

Walking through the garden, there are three rooms at the back.

Li Zhen first came to the room on the left, which was empty. Unconvinced, he went into the room on the right, which was also empty.

He finally looked at the room in the middle. Now he was wondering if this cave was just a cover and the real nest of the 'Wind-Calling Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast' was not here.

He entered the middle room and was shocked when he entered the room.

The room was filled with third-grade high-quality spiritual energy, and in the middle of the room, there were a large number of raw spiritual stones, and in the middle of the raw spiritual stones was a white egg.

Lingshi raw stone is a kind of initial processed state of Lingshi. Lingshi raw stone needs to be cut before it can become a common Lingshi.

However, the monsters do not have the technology to mine spirit stones, and there is nothing they can do about it because they use raw spirit stones that are mixed with impurities.

Judging from the spiritual quality of these raw spirit stones, they all contain medium-grade spirit stones.

And so many mid-grade spirit stones and third-grade high-quality spiritual energy all provide energy for the white egg.

Li Zhen looked at the egg with shining eyes. If he was not mistaken, this should be the legendary monster egg.

Among the monsters born from eggs, besides birds, the most famous one is the dragon beast.

This is the nest of the 'Wind-Calling Moon-Chasing Drake', and the egg here is most likely the Drake egg.

If it is really a dragon beast egg of the third-stage late-stage 'Wind-Calling Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast', then the value of this dragon beast egg is inestimable.

The most important thing about a young monster is its bloodline. A young monster with the bloodline of a late-stage third-order 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast' may be able to reach the level of its parents in the future. If it is lucky, it may even be able to break through to the late-stage third-order.

Young monsters are one of the important resources. Obtaining young monsters from the monster world, especially the offspring of powerful monsters, is equivalent to adding a loyal helper to yourself once the contract is successfully signed.

Of course, if you want to train a young monster into a helper, you need to invest a lot of resources. For example, if you want to hatch a monster egg and train it to the third level, then the resources you need include first, second, and even third-level resources.

This is more resources than what is needed to train a cultivator to the third level, mainly because the monsters’ utilization rate of resources is too low.

Monsters absorb energy extremely roughly during their growth process. Unlike cultivators, they do not need to consider the fragility of human bodies and the preciousness of resources. They absorb energy carefully while trying to increase the absorption rate as much as possible.

Li Zhen looked at the monster egg in front of him and frowned slightly, because he did not have the contract for the monster egg in his hand.

Besides, the highest contract he could buy from the Immortal Kingdom was a second-level contract, and he was not sure whether a second-level contract could be used to contract the monster egg in front of him.

He looked at the cave and an idea came to his mind. He took out the 'Small Inverted Five Elements Array Plate' and placed it in the cave, completely covering the entire cave.

This cave is rather strange. The third-grade superior spiritual vein is restricted in a room, so that even if the cave is not arranged with a concealment formation, it is difficult to be discovered by the secret method of detecting aura.

In other words, he was wearing fighter armor and used the fighter armor's scanning system to discover this place.

After setting up the 'Small Inverted Five Elements Formation', there is no need to worry about being discovered here in the short term.

He set up the spatial coordinates in the middle room so that he could come here anytime if needed.

After doing all this, he activated his spatial magical power and disappeared in the room.

When he appeared again, he was already in the room of the Wealth Pavilion in the ancient world of cultivation.

Li Zhen came out of the room and went straight to find his shopkeeper Gu Siqi, and sent a message in front of Gu Siqi's small building.

After a while, the door of the small building slowly opened and he walked in.

"Aren't you in seclusion? Do you have any top-grade talismans to produce?" Gu Siqi asked Li Zhen when he saw him.

"This is a top-grade talisman that I made recently!" Li Zhen came here with this excuse. He took out a stack of top-grade talismans and handed them over.

Gu Siqi took the top-grade talisman, felt the aura within it, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Manager Gu, does our pavilion have any high-grade contract secrets?" Li Zhen asked at the right time.

Instead of returning to the Immortal Kingdom to try whether the second-level contract is useful, it is better to look for a suitable secret method in the ancient cultivation world.

You should know that he is now a member of the Wealth Pavilion, which is also a large organization in this area. In order to train its internal members, it has collected a large number of secret techniques. This is also what all forces in the ancient cultivation world are doing.

"I do have a secret contract method in my hand, called the Soul Blood Contract. As long as the soul of the contracted party does not resist, the contract can be carried out regardless of the difference in cultivation!" Gu Siqi thought about it for a few breaths and said with a smile.

"I wonder how many spirit stones are needed to purchase this soul blood contract method?" Li Zhen asked happily.

With his status and position in the fairyland, he has no chance of even coming into contact with this secret contract method that ignores levels.

"It's just a secret contract method. I'll give it to you as a reward!" Gu Siqi said with a wave of his hand.

She took out a jade slip and handed it to Li Zhen, who took it gratefully.

Li Zhen took the jade slip back to the room. He placed it between his eyebrows, and the contents of the Soul Blood Contract flowed through his mind.

Guided by the soul and based on blood, this secret contract method can be said to be extremely domineering, but the shortcomings of this secret contract method are also extremely obvious.

If you want the soul of the contracted party to not resist, you must make the contracted party convinced and fully accept the result of being enslaved.

This greatly reduces the practicality of the Soul Blood Contract. Except for newborn monsters that have not developed any intelligence, how can other monsters accept this kind of contract?

Even if it is a newborn monster, it will have self-protection for its own soul, so it is questionable whether the contract can be successfully signed.

It didn't take much time to learn the Soul Blood Contract. He only needed to remember the most important contract pattern. When using it, he only needed to coordinate his own spirit and blood essence.

He did not stay in the ancient cultivation world for long. Although the cave on the other side was hidden by the "Small Inverted Five Elements Formation", the extremely precious monster eggs were left behind, so he was still very worried.

Li Zhen activated his spatial magical power and returned to the cave of the Wind-Calling Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast.

He had only been gone for an hour and nothing had changed here.

He reviewed the Soul Blood Contract Technique again and was about to use it. He didn't want to waste his blood and essence due to his lack of experience.

The essence and blood of a cultivator are extremely precious. It is not a big deal if a little is consumed, as it can be recovered after a period of time. However, if too much is consumed, it may affect the foundation.
