Chapter 39 Guiyuan Sect Danfeng 5
I've been scammed!
Looking at the little cloud in his arms, Cheng Jiu had only one thought in his mind.
Little Cloud nestled in my arms, her tiny eyes radiating pure innocence. She even let out a couple of pitiful whimpers.
"Junior sister, this cloud beast is a spirit beast from my rental shop. Since you've signed a contract with it, you'll need to pay 100,000 top-grade spirit stones." The senior brother grinned from ear to ear, finally managing to give away one of these money-losing beasts.
"Senior brother, didn't you see? It came to contract with me on its own initiative, and I haven't even asked it for compensation yet!" Cheng Jiu bristled and tried to push Xiao Yunduo away. 10 top-grade spirit stones! She was truly heartbroken. How could this thing be so expensive? Was this some kind of scam? Help!
"Ahem!" The senior brother, of course, also knew, and his eyes unconsciously shifted elsewhere. He said guiltily, "Junior sister, this is the sect's rule. Oh, look, this spirit beast is one of the most talented spirit beasts in our rental shop. You can't go wrong with 10 spirit stones!"
"How about I give it to you, senior brother?" Cheng Jiu rolled his eyes.
"Then forget it," the senior brother said casually, then realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth.
Little Cloud's tiny eyes held a mixture of disbelief and a hint of grievance.
Then, puffing out its cute cheeks, a flame flashed in its beautiful eyes, and its chubby body flew out of Cheng Jiu's arms, slowly flying to its senior brother's head. As its chubby body slowly changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a torrential rain poured down.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry." The senior brother was being chased by the cloud, jumping up and down, and kept begging for mercy.
"It can actually make thunder and rain?" Cheng Jiu looked at the cloud beast that had turned into a celestial disaster with some surprise.
"Of course! Its ancestors had a trace of the Somersault Cloud bloodline, so of course it can control the weather." The senior brother explained as he ran, "I was wrong, don't chase me anymore, you're the cutest little cloud beast, I absolutely didn't dislike you!"
"Wait, what cloud?"
Somersault Cloud!
Although Cheng Jiu knew that there might not be a Great Sage in this world, he was the male god in his previous life. Who didn't love him, from six years old to sixty years old?
At this moment, her disdain for the cloud beast slowly changed: "I'll buy it for 10 top-grade spirit stones!" Consider it a fan-favorite item!
Ah, that sinful monkey, even in a different world, she still can't escape paying the price for chasing him.
Okay, so why was she scammed by this little cloud beast?
Of course, it all started when the little black dragon dragged her to the rental office. As the largest spirit beast breeding organization in the Guiyuan Sect, their spirit beast food was truly delicious, and it could be said that no spirit beast could resist such temptation.
It is even said that Guiyuan Sect's spirit beast food is sold as far as the demon realm, and even the royal family of the demon realm praises Guiyuan Sect's spirit beast food.
Although the little black dragon loves to eat spiritual herbs, that's only based on its growth needs. It doesn't actually particularly like those bitter spiritual herbs, but for the sake of growth and strength, its instincts drive it to gnaw on them.
Compared to elixirs, spirit beast food, which is both delicious and can increase strength, became its favorite.
Unfortunately, Cheng Jiu is a complete homebody, unlike Schrödinger's extrovert. She has been in the sect for a year, but she has only been to the market a few times. So, the little black dragon has no chance to take its master to buy its favorite food.
Only during the three months its master was in seclusion was it raised by Venerable Qingxu. In addition to high-grade spiritual herbs, Venerable Qingxu would also buy it high-grade spirit beast food.
It can be said that the life he lived with Qingxu Venerable was like that of a god. After all, it was his disciple's spirit beast. This is what is called grandparental affection. Even Xuanze was jealous!
Back with its master, it had plenty of medicinal herbs, but never had the chance to find spirit beast food.
Fortunately, its owner was a very generous owner, after learning that it really liked to eat that kind of spirit beast food.
With a wave of her hand, Cheng Jiu bought 10 catties of spirit beast food, which cost one top-grade spirit stone per catty.
Such a rare, generous, and talented owner naturally attracted the attention of the spirit beasts at the rental office.
The little cloud beast recognized the child it had carried a year ago at a glance. The child had given it a five-star review back then, so she must really like it.
The spirit beasts of Guiyuan Sect are still very popular, after all, most of them are offspring of powerful beings' natal spirit beasts.
Their ancestors were highly talented and powerful, so in this case, the bloodline talents of these spirit beasts are also excellent.
However, most spirit beasts are arrogant and do not easily form contracts with disciples.
They have their own very strict selection criteria for their owners.
For example, one must have good natural talent. Although it is said that spirit beasts and humans complement each other, a human with low natural talent can easily drag down the spirit beast.
It doesn't matter if the spirit beasts have low natural talent, because as their master's strength increases, their strength will also increase.
It's just that it will be a hindrance during battles.
Therefore, when choosing a spirit beast, people generally prefer those with better natural talent. After all, when a spirit beast breaks through its limits, it will also help its master.
However, if the master has low talent, even if the spirit beast has good aptitude, he can't carry it for long.
This is why these second-generation spirit beasts, having no worries about food or drink, tend to have higher demands on their masters.
Besides that, you also need money. Few spirit beasts are willing to suffer with sword cultivators and body cultivators, especially those who have received the best treatment since childhood. Of course, they are unwilling to live with poor boys.
Cheng Jiu perfectly embodies these two qualities: high talent and generous spending.
The spirit beast area was in an uproar. The little cloud beast stretched out its round hand and gently hooked the cage down. Before the other spirit beasts could react, it swiftly formed a contract with Cheng Jiu.
This guy is quite domineering; Cheng Jiu's natal spirit beast is a little black dragon.
The little cloud beast then took over Cheng Jiu's soul contract. Soul contracts are extremely ancient, almost lost in the cultivation world, and the fact that it could do so shows just how outstanding its talent was.
After all, only spirit beasts with exceptional talent possess inherited memories.
Seeing that she had accepted him, the little cloud beast rubbed its face against hers, whimpering.
It was chubby and fair-skinned. Cheng Jiu couldn't stand it; it was probably from his memories and bloodline that he couldn't resist something so white, chubby, and soft.
Cheng Jiu reached out and rubbed the little cloud beast. It was a really strange feeling, like touching a cloud, or like touching a real thing.
It felt really good. She swiped her card. Since the little black dragon had 10 catties of spirit beast food, the newly contracted little cloud beast couldn't be left behind, so it also had 10 catties. This was another 30 top-grade spirit stones! Spirit stones really don't last long.
On the way back to Medicine Peak, the little cloud beast carried her. Unlike her disheveled state before she had no cultivation, she was now a Golden Core cultivator. Without the little cloud beast's spirit-sealing ability, she was able to stay steadily on its back.
At breakneck speed, especially since the little cloud beast didn't perform any fancy maneuvers like 360-degree spins, Cheng Jiu felt an exhilarating sensation of racing through the air.
When Cheng Jiu returned to Yaofeng, he was still feeling excited. In short, it was awesome!
Back in the courtyard, as soon as Cheng Jiu sat down to meditate, he sensed something was wrong. As mentioned before, the master's improvement would improve the spirit beast's strength, and the spirit beast's strength would also improve the master's strength.
Don't let the little cloud beast's cute and adorable appearance fool you; it's already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to suppress Qin Che's spiritual energy in the first place.
So this thing has a delay? That was Cheng Jiu's only thought.
A vast amount of spiritual energy surged within her body. Cheng Jiu's cultivation speed was already quite fast, but in order to maintain her cultivation level and slow down her cultivation speed, she meditated for no more than half an hour each day. The spiritual energy at the Nascent Soul stage was still too much for a Golden Core stage cultivator.
The spiritual energy possessed by a peak Nascent Soul cultivator is vastly different from that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
With the influx of immense spiritual energy, if she were to unleash it, she could directly reach the Nascent Soul stage without any side effects.
But Cheng Jiu was unwilling. She herself did not believe that she could become a Tribulation Transcending Great Power before the age of 18. What if she broke through this time? Wouldn't she have to maintain the body of a seven-year-old girl for hundreds or thousands of years?
No, absolutely not! With this belief, she desperately suppressed her cultivation.
The little black dragon and the little cloud beast simultaneously noticed that their master was acting strangely. The little black dragon roared at the little cloud beast, as if to say, "Look what you've done!"
The little cloud beast whimpered twice, its soft body slowly floating above Cheng Jiu's head, enveloping her head.
The little black dragon slowly closed its eyes, and its body began to glow with a soft light. The spiritual energy that Cheng Jiu had been struggling with slowly flowed into the little black dragon's body through the life contract.
Most of the remaining spiritual energy rushed straight into her sea of consciousness, which slowly expanded amidst her splitting headache.
After an unknown amount of time, the original spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and Cheng Jiu's sea of consciousness expanded by nearly two times.
When Cheng Jiu awoke from her cultivation, the excruciating headache that tore at her soul still lingered in her mind; it was terrifying.
The little cloud beast slowly fell off her head, clearly exhausted.
The little black dragon fell into a deep sleep.
Cheng Jiu knew that what had just happened was thanks to the help of the two spirit beasts.
Although it hurt a bit, Cheng Jiu would still be willing to do it again, and it should be said that no one in the world would not.
A cultivator's sea of consciousness is extremely important, not only for protecting the soul, but also for things like attack and defense.
There aren't many ways to enhance one's sea of consciousness. The most common method is probably to consume some spiritual medicines that can expand the sea of consciousness, but these spiritual medicines are all quite precious.
Besides that, there's the size of your innate sea of consciousness, and when your cultivation level increases, the Heavenly Tribulation helps you expand it.
Having a large sea of consciousness has many advantages. For example, when Cheng Jiu was refining pills, she could accurately sense the emotions of the medicinal herbs and soothe them. Although this was due to her spiritual qualities, if her sea of consciousness were not large enough, it would be impossible to sense them so clearly.
The Cloud Beast actually has a method to expand one's sea of consciousness. If this were known to others, not only would ordinary people in the world be vying for it, but even powerful cultivators would fight tooth and nail for it.
There are no such secrets now, and it's unclear whether those who own cloud beasts are keeping the news tightly under wraps, or whether it's a unique talent of the little cloud beast.
But no matter which one it is, you can't tell anyone except your master.
Looking at the time, it turned out that four or five days had already passed. Adding the days she spent in the market, almost half a month had passed.
Oh no, she's not going to keep her senior sisters and brothers waiting for her!
She put the little cloud beast and the little black dragon into the spirit beast bag on her body, washed up briefly, rented a spirit crane at the rental shop, and headed towards the courtyard of her two senior brothers and sisters.
