The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

At this moment, a luminous pearl appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's hand, illuminating the surrounding two or three meters brightly. He had just carefully explored the cave with his soul perception and found that there was only this one large bird and no other magical beasts. Only then did Xiao Xuanyuan feel relieved.

With the illumination of the luminous pearl, Xiao Xuanyuan could clearly see what the big bird he had just beaten up looked like.

At this moment, the large bird was crying out pitifully, its voice sometimes shrill, but still clear and melodious. It had a body of blue feathers, somewhat resembling the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that Xiao Xuanyuan had encountered in the spatial barrier. At this moment, blood was constantly spilling from its beak, clearly indicating that Xiao Xuanyuan had beaten it quite badly just now.

Holding the luminous pearl, Xiao Xuanyuan moved closer. At this moment, the voice of the old doctor appeared in his ear: "This is a Wind Spirit Bird, a second-tier flying magical beast of the wind attribute. It has a trace of the direct bloodline of the ancient beast Nine Heavens Mystic Bird. If you can subdue it, it would be good to use it as a means of transportation, which can save a lot of battle qi and time."

"Oh, is that alright? I might as well kill it, saving myself a lot of trouble!" As he spoke, black flames appeared on Xiao Xuanyuan's palm, forming a blade. He was about to finish it off with a single stroke.

Chirp chirp…

Suddenly, the wind spirit bird let out a mournful cry. Its crystal-clear, bright blue eyes looked pitifully at Xiao Xuanyuan, and its voice was plaintive and beautiful.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately stopped his hand gesture. His control over the movement was incredibly precise, his arm and hand remaining perfectly still, demonstrating his profound mastery. This was the result of his diligent practice over the past few days; the Xuan Heavy Ruler had not been wasted after all that time.

"You want me to release you?" Xiao Xuanyuan tried speaking to the wind spirit bird, and to his surprise, it understood and nodded.

“But I don’t like trouble. It would be easier to deal with you now.” As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, the wind spirit bird's eyes flashed with anthropomorphic tears, and it kept nodding to Xiao Xuanyuan, as if begging for mercy.

Chapter Sixteen: The Contract of Disheng

Seeing the Wind Spirit Bird's appearance, the old medicine master spoke up: "You brat, I told you to quickly subdue this flying magical beast, what are you hesitating for?"

"Elder Yao, didn't you see I'm going to refine a different kind of fire later? Besides, I already have the Purple Cloud Wings flying combat technique for me, so what do I need this Wind Spirit Bird for? Wouldn't it just be adding to the trouble?" Xiao Xuanyuan hesitated before explaining.

"Alright, if you don't want to, just release this Wind Spirit Bird. It's rare to see such a spiritual magical beast. Sigh, I really can't control you..." Old Medicine sighed helplessly.

"Let it go? How could that be? It's not that easy. Either kill it, or it'll become your mount. Hmm, let me think..."

Xiao Xuanyuan stared blankly at the wind spirit bird before him, raising and lowering his palm-blade. The wind spirit bird, however, kept gazing at him pitifully.

"Alright, Elder Yao, do you have a way to subdue this Wind Spirit Bird? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will run away..." After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Xuanyuan finally did not make a move and could only ask Elder Yao helplessly.

"I knew you'd ask that, kid. Here, this is the Disheng Contract. It was forcibly given to me by a beast tamer who begged me to refine medicine for him back then. Take a look for yourself..." As he spoke, the old medicine master raised his hand and pointed, and a faint light popped out from the ring and shot into Xiao Xuanyuan's mind.

In no time, Xiao Xuanyuan finished reading the information of the Disheng Contract: "So, it's that simple..."

According to this contract of life and death, there are three ways for humans and magical beasts to sign a contract of life and death. The first is that, if the magical beast is obedient, the two form a fair contract of souls that advance and retreat together. The second is that humans forcibly plant a contract of life and death on the magical beast, which will prevent the magical beast from advancing and evolving for the rest of its life, and it will remain at the level of the contract. Moreover, the magical beast will suffer unbearable pain at the master's whim. The magical beast's life and death are completely in the master's hands. Only when the master actually dies can the magical beast be completely freed. Of course, this method is quite cruel and vicious, and most people rarely use it.

The last type involves a lifelong contract established between the master and the beast, whereby the beast will remain a vassal for its master for life. However, this does not hinder the beast's advancement and evolution. Furthermore, as the master's strength increases, there will be a degree of support for the beast, such as increasing its power, advancing its rank, or even activating its bloodline and enabling it to evolve…

Of course, with benefits come drawbacks. Once this life-giving contract is signed, the monster's freedom for the rest of its life will be restricted by its master. Furthermore, if the master dies, the monster that signed the life-giving contract will also die!

Therefore, intelligent magical beasts generally do not easily sign the second or third type of life-giving contract.

After fully digesting the information from the Disheng Contract, Xiao Xuanyuan said to the Wind Spirit Bird before him, "Are you willing to sign the Disheng Contract and become my lifelong magical beast? If not..."

Xiao Xuanyuan was about to threaten it a few times when, unexpectedly, the Wind Spirit Bird immediately nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice, looking as if it wanted to sign the contract right away. Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Alright, since you agree, let's begin!" With that, Xiao Xuanyuan recalled the hand seals for signing the third type of Disheng Contract in his mind, and his hands immediately changed, forming that set of complicated and profound hand seals.

"Hand over your soul seal!" Having formed the hand seal, Xiao Xuanyuan shouted, reaching out to grab the wind spirit bird. Instantly, a pale blue ball of light flew out from the bird's body. Xiao Xuanyuan caught it, his hands moving like butterflies flitting through the air, forming a series of hand seals. A moment later, he slapped his hand, and the pale blue ball of light, inscribed with countless profound runes, flew out of his hand, shooting back into the wind spirit bird's body. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

After a flurry of activity, Xiao Xuanyuan's forehead was covered in sweat, which dripped down his cheeks.

"This Disheng Contract is ridiculously complicated. If it weren't for my strong soul perception, an ordinary person would probably have died from the backlash due to the exhaustion of their soul perception before even completing the Disheng Contract!"

Xiao Xuanyuan wiped the sweat from his brow, still complaining with lingering fear.

"Hehe...Young man, I'm sure I'm right about you. This little guy might become a great help to you in the future..." Old Medicine said with a smile.

"I hope so, otherwise I really want to crush it to death..." As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but glance at the Wind Spirit Bird. Instantly, its bright eyes were filled with terror, and its injured body kicked its legs in the air, as if it wanted to get away from here immediately.

Through the newly formed soul-to-soul contract, Xiao Xuanyuan sensed the Wind Spirit Bird's fear and apprehension. Shaking his head helplessly, he walked up to the Wind Spirit Bird, squatted down, and said, "You don't need to be afraid of me. Now you are my magical beast, so from now on you have to listen to me in everything, understand?"

The wind spirit bird quickly nodded to him in a panic.

With a flick of his wrist, a white jade bottle appeared in his hand. Xiao Xuanyuan uncorked it, sniffed it, and exclaimed, "What a fragrant medicinal scent..."

Then, Xiao Xuanyuan poured out five or six round pills, waved them at the Wind Spirit Bird, and said, "Hmm, I seriously injured you just now. Here, these are some pills I refined in my spare time. They can heal injuries and replenish qi. Open your mouth..."

Upon hearing this, the Wind Spirit Bird obediently opened its beak. Xiao Xuanyuan flicked his hand, and the pills entered the Wind Spirit Bird's mouth, where it swallowed them.

"Alright, wait outside for me. Don't come in without my permission." Xiao Xuanyuan clapped his hands, stood up, and tossed the luminous pearl in his left hand, which was then firmly embedded in the stone wall above the cave in front of him.

He took out several more luminous pearls from his storage ring and inlaid them on the stone walls of the cave. Instantly, the cave was filled with bright light.

After regaining some strength, the wind spirit bird limped out of the cave. Xiao Xuanyuan had already scanned the cave with his soul perception. Now that he saw that there were no more problems, he lifted a boulder to block the cave entrance, and then found a relatively flat protruding rock and sat down.

Emerging from the spatial barrier, Xiao Xuanyuan was already exhausted. He had just expended a great deal of his soul perception to sign the Soul Life Contract, and now he was utterly worn out, with waves of fatigue constantly washing over him, both in his soul and body.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly composed himself, formed cultivation hand seals, and entered a state of deep cultivation.

Please give me a tip! I'm so broke I'm practically starving...

Chapter Seventeen: Refining the Six Paths of Reincarnation Flame

After immersing himself in cultivation for an unknown period of time, Xiao Xuanyuan slowly awoke from his closed eyes. At that moment, the old man named Yao floated in from outside and asked, "You're awake. How are you feeling now?"

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and said, "I have now adjusted to my peak condition and can now devour and refine the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame."

"Yes, the moon is high in the sky right now, it's midnight, the time of day when the temperature is lowest and the coldest. This can be beneficial to your absorption and refining of the strange fire to some extent. Alright, since you're ready, let's begin!"

After saying that, the old man of medicine set up an energy shield to protect the cave.

"There are three essential items for devouring and refining a strange fire: Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and Spirit Absorption. I currently only have the first two. Elder Yao, where is your Spirit Absorption?"

Xiao Xuanyuan immediately took out the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from his ring, and then looked straight at the Medicine Elder.

"Cough cough... You don't have to be so direct, do you think I won't give it to you?" Cold sweat poured down the old man's face. He flicked his hand lightly, and a tiny, almost imperceptible point of light shot towards Xiao Xuanyuan, appearing in front of him.

"Damn, so little! Elder Yao, can you stop being so stingy and give me such a small piece?" Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and gently held it in his hands, squeezing it lightly with his fingers. It felt like touching a soft, elastic piece of rubber.

Upon hearing this, the old medicine doctor's forehead was covered in black lines, and he said, "You think this is some cheap, common stuff sold at street stalls? Do you know how rare and precious this Soul-Gathering Skill is...?"

Next, Elder Yao began his long-winded explanation, saying that the chance of a small amount of spirit-absorbing material existing in the center of a storage ring is extremely slim. A basic storage ring costs tens of thousands of gold coins, a mid-level storage ring costs ten times that amount, and a high-level storage ring is basically priceless. Only the leaders of powerful families or high-ranking experts are qualified to possess these high-level storage rings. If high-level storage rings are already extremely rare, then spirit-absorbing material is even rarer, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Anyway, it was a very long speech, and Xiao Xuanyuan barely listened to any of it, not fully understanding what he was saying.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Now you should tell me the detailed steps to follow. The more detailed and specific, the better. Otherwise, wait a moment..." As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan focused his mind and searched through his storage ring and thumb ring. After a while, he found a piece of white paper and a pen and handed them to the old medicine master.

"Here, Elder Yao, please write down the steps in detail, lest I be killed by this Six Paths Reincarnation Flame if I make a small mistake later." Elder Yao could only shake his head helplessly and reach out to take the white paper and pen.

The old man, like a ghost, hovered in mid-air, slightly lowered his head, and swiftly wrote on the white paper with his pen. In no time, he finished writing and handed the two papers back to Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Xiao Xuanyuan put the pen into his storage ring and began to carefully study the detailed steps written by the old doctor about devouring and refining strange fire.

After carefully studying the text, Xiao Xuanyuan memorized all the steps and contents. He sat back down on the protruding rock, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and slowly adjusted his state, calming his somewhat excited mind.

"Elder Yao, if anything goes wrong later, you'd better protect him..." Before starting, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but remind Elder Yao once again. He only had one life, and the chance of devouring and refining the strange fire was so dangerous, so it was best to make all the necessary preparations first.

"I understand. As long as you follow the steps I've written down, the success rate is quite high if nothing goes wrong," the old medicine doctor said, rolling his eyes.

"Ah That's good."

Xiao Xuanyuan said no more, poured a Blood Lotus Pill from the white jade bottle beside him into his hand, then tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Before long, the Blood Lotus Pill transformed into a chilling energy, rapidly penetrating into Xiao Xuanyuan's meridians and eventually seeping into his meridians and bones like layers of blood film.

As the blood membrane seeped in, Xiao Xuanyuan felt his body tremble violently. Instantly, streaks of blood oozed from his pores. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xuanyuan's body surface was covered with a layer of crimson blood, looking extremely terrifying and gruesome.

Xiao Xuanyuan blinked, surprised that the blood-red keratin layer formed by the gushing blood had even covered his eyes.

Through this layer of keratin, Xiao Xuanyuan discovered that everything outside was blood red, including Yao Lao.

At this moment, this layer of blood-red keratin completely enveloped Xiao Xuanyuan's entire body, including his internal organs and meridians, forming an airtight blood-red armor that protected him completely.

Xiao Xuanyuan waved his hands and feet, shaking off the thick, blood-red armor he wore, feeling a heavy weight all over his body: "It's really a bit cumbersome, but I've endured it for the sake of devouring and refining the strange fire..."

Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly, then said to Elder Yao, "Elder Yao, I'm ready. Please release the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame!"

Upon hearing this, the old doctor stretched out his fingers and grabbed forward, and instantly, the crystal-clear, fiery red transparent stone appeared in his hand.

Turning the transparent crystal over, the old man made a hand seal on it, and soon, the small Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, which was wrapped in a fine net of bone spirit cold fire, shot out from it.

"Xiao Xuanyuan, you'd better be prepared. Extracting the strange fire seed is extremely dangerous. All I can do is try my best to help you suppress this Six Paths Reincarnation Flame..." The old doctor's face was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Yes, no problem!" Xiao Xuanyuan also felt the pressure and nodded slightly.

After confirming it several times, the old doctor reached out and released a ball of Bone Spirit Cold Fire energy, which enveloped the pitch-black Six Paths Reincarnation Flame and pushed it in front of Xiao Xuanyuan.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame are both on the list of strange flames, but one is ranked higher and the other is ranked lower. The Bone Spirit Cold Flame can still restrain the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame to some extent.

Currently, due to its previous battle with the Dragon-Phoenix Flame, the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame's original energy is less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of its peak. Therefore, Elder Yao is quite reassured about Xiao Xuanyuan's devouring and refining of this Six Paths Reincarnation Flame.

Chapter Eighteen: The Mysterious Fire Seed

After swallowing the Blood Lotus Pill and waiting for its full effect, the second step was to explore within the strange fire and retrieve the fire seed. Xiao Xuanyuan carefully recalled the steps for devouring and refining the strange fire described by the old medicine master.

In the blink of an eye, the old man of medicine moved the fine mesh-like substance enveloping the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame in front of him. Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan eager to try, even extending his hand, the old man of medicine smiled helplessly, thinking to himself: This kid is much more ambitious than Xiao Yan. I've been by that kid's side for two or three years, and he's always been sullen and dull, not lively or cheerful at all. He's so incredibly boring...

"Old Yao, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and release the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame!" A shout woke Old Yao up, bringing him back from his distant thoughts.

“Uh,” the old medicine master paused for a moment, then realized what was going on and chuckled speechlessly, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you thinking about the past again? Maybe you think that Xiao Xuanyuan is a better candidate to be your disciple.”

Muttering to himself, the old doctor called out to Xiao Xuanyuan, "I know, what's with the rush, you're as impatient as a monkey."

"Go to hell, Elder Yao! Don't you know that devouring and refining the strange fire is a big deal? I'll be dead if I'm not careful, and you old bastard are still distracted!" Xiao Xuanyuan cursed at Elder Yao. This Elder Yao was really too infuriating.

"Alright, alright, I understand. I'm truly impressed by you, kid." The old man quickly composed himself, first casting several hand seals to form a semi-transparent energy sphere around the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame that was enveloped, completely enveloping it. Then, with a few more hand seals, he untied the thin white bone spirit cold fire net.

In mid-air, after the net of white bone spirit cold fire was completely removed, the eerie black flames surged against the wind, expanding their size by nearly a hundred times in the blink of an eye. As their size increased, the originally docile flames became violent, hissing and churning, and the surrounding air was burned into nothingness by the scorching, eerie black flames.

At this moment, the semi-transparent energy sphere set up by the old man played its role. As the dark flames expanded and intensified, the energy sphere that completely covered the flames also expanded wildly. However, since it was set up by the old man using the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, whose original energy was less than one-tenth or one-twelfth, was unable to break through the semi-transparent energy sphere.

"Brilliant! Elder Yao, you're truly skilled." Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but give Elder Yao a thumbs up. Just now, at the moment when the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame suddenly swelled up, even through the energy sphere protection set up by Elder Yao, Xiao Xuanyuan could feel the almost destructive and violent flame energy. Some of it even seeped out, making Xiao Xuanyuan's forehead and face sweat profusely.
