Chapter 8 Contract
"Alright, look at you." Xu Xian said irritably, kicking away the frog junior's attempt to hug his leg.
This frog junior is so clever that it seems unbelievable for a mythical beast.
I took several deep breaths.
Xu Xian shook his head.
He was almost completely drained after being sucked in by the Beast Taming Pearl, but luckily he had prepared 'energy recovery pills' in advance.
This tiny piece cost him a full thousand dollars.
However, it did serve its purpose in winning over the frog junior.
Seeing the shameless, fawning manner of the frog junior, Xu Xian silently placed his hand on the ground.
Upon seeing this action, Frog Junior's expression became calm and solemn.
Suddenly, blood-red light emanated from Xu Xian's hand, interspersed with a special, slightly blue, transparent energy, dripping from Xu Xian's fingers onto the ground like blood.
The special red and blue blood energy outlined strange lines on the ground, forming layers of six-pointed stars that created a strange and mysterious magic array that had just enveloped Xu Xian and his frog junior.
He felt the newly recovered energy within his body continuously flowing into the soul blood pact array beneath him.
Xu Xian did not stop, his pale face devoid of any color.
Beneath the frog junior, a streak of blood and a faint blue light suddenly rose up.
Like a shimmering veil, it is covered with densely packed characters.
Logically speaking, Frog Junior shouldn't be able to understand it.
But when it looked at it, it already understood the meaning of every word on it.
This is a blood pact of the soul. Once signed, one will be bound to Xu Xian for all eternity, becoming his comrade in destiny.
We all prosper together, and we all suffer together!
Frog Junior glanced at him and then looked up at Xu Xian, who was half-squatting on the ground.
It was still that same face, and even though it was pale, its eyes were still full of confidence.
"Croak!!"
The frog junior lowered his head, raised his webbed feet, and pressed them against the red and blue gauze.
Instantly, a large number of characters on the shimmering veil transformed into light points and flowed into Frog Junior's body.
At the same time, a blinding light rose from the magic array beneath Xu Xian.
It pierced every inch of Xu Xian's body like a needle.
During this process, the soul blood pact array beneath the human and beast was absorbed and gradually disappeared until it was completely destroyed.
"Croak!" The frog junior raised his webbed feet, a sound better than ever before.
However, Xu Xian was covered in sweat, which dripped to the ground.
My temples are bulging and I have a splitting headache.
This is not a side effect of using the Beast Taming Beads, but rather the reason for forming a contract with the frog junior.
Her pale face regained some color after receiving energy feedback from the frog junior through the contract.
But Frog Junior's beginner peak level is a bit too high for a newbie.
A prospective beast tamer should ideally contract a spirit beast that is at least at the beginner level 5, or at least mid-beginner level.
The five frog juniors at the water park were between the beginner and early stages.
The spirit beast cubs prepared for newcomers are mostly at this level.
Only in this way can the beast tamer's soul fully receive and withstand the impact of the contracted spirit beast's soul suddenly squeezing into his own.
Xu Xian, this frog junior, has such talent but hasn't leveled up. Xu Xian guesses that it's all thanks to Wang Yue.
It should be known that for spirit beasts with higher talent, breakthroughs are as easy as eating and drinking. If they are not suppressed, they may level up to the advanced level in a short period of time.
This is also a major reason why the higher the species level, the more expensive the spirit beast cubs are to sell.
For newcomers, a mid-level silver item is far less valuable than a beginner-level bronze item.
Adaptability is the most important factor.
"Croak!" As soon as the contract was completed, the frog junior noticed that Xu Xian was not in a good state and quickly went to his side, looking at him with a worried expression.
"It's nothing," Xu Xian waved his hand.
A short while later, Xu Xian was led to the bed and made to lie down.
Liu Ruyan pulled Xu Ying out of the house, and felt a headache coming on as she watched the frog junior silently go back to his room with his head down.
If Xu Xian hadn't said it was because the frog junior's level was too high and he couldn't adapt for a while, she would have felt like the sky was about to fall. Fortunately, Xu Xian was just a little tired and would be fine after a few days of rest.
into the night.
Xu Han returned with the giant hairy dog carrying a large number of bags and packages.
Upon learning that his beloved son was lying in bed due to the contracted frog junior, he was about to go upstairs when he saw Xu Xian, pale-faced, leading the frog junior with his head down downstairs.
Frog Junior feels somewhat guilty now.
I used to think that Wang Yue was the reason it was getting stronger, but now I realize how far-sighted he was.
If it hadn't been suppressed to the initial stage, it probably would never have become Xu Xian's first contracted spirit beast, or even been able to make contact with him.
"I'm fine, just a bit of a headache. I'll get used to it after a few days of rest," Xu Xian said as he came downstairs.
Xu Han had no doubts and looked at the well-behaved frog junior beside him.
He thought to himself that his eldest son was indeed worthy of his reputation, so easily winning over this seemingly troublesome frog junior.
"Dad, where are the things?" Xu Xian asked.
Xu Han pointed his thumb backward, and there were Liu Ruyan and Bai Yuzhu helping to unload the things off the giant hairy dog.
Xu Xian's eyes lit up.
They walked over to a large box, opened it, and the frog junior peeked out.
Xu Han said smugly, "Little fairy, these are water chestnuts that are one month old. They are all top-quality ones that I asked your Uncle Yue for. I guarantee that if Frog Junior eats one, his skin will be smooth and moisturized, and his strength will increase rapidly."
Xu Xian nodded, "High-quality water chestnut is the most cost-effective and effective energy supplement for Frog Junior."
With long-term use, one can easily reach the advanced energy level even without exercise.
Xu Xian took out a handful of seaweed covered in ice and sea salt granules from the box.
"Croak!!" The frog junior's eyes lit up, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Its previous owner never fed it in order to ensure that the frog junior cooperated with the prospective beast tamer in forming a good contract.
In order to make the frog junior more suitable for newcomers, Wang Yue was even less likely to feed it. He even took the initiative to prevent the frog junior from cultivating in order to avoid accidentally breaking through the energy level.
Now that it has seen this delicious food, even just smelling it makes its mouth water uncontrollably.
The frog junior hopped over to Xu Xian's side and fawned over him, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Xu Xian said gently, "Don't rush, it still needs to be soaked to remove the salt, otherwise it will be so salty that you won't be able to sleep tonight."
The frog junior nodded repeatedly as it watched the water chestnut, a phrase it had heard its previous owner mention before.
They said that as long as you sign a contract with it, you can buy it water chestnuts that it can eat until it's stuffed.
Now, seeing Xu Xian carrying a large iron basin, soaking water chestnuts in the water, and smiling at it, Frog Junior's two big eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Why are you crying? There will be plenty more to come." Xu Han laughed heartily, a fleeting look of heartache crossing his face.
Ordinary quality water chestnuts cost only 1,000 yuan per kilogram, while superior quality ones can cost two or three times that amount.
Thanks to his connection with Wang Yue, he almost got the purchase price: 500 yuan per jin (500 grams). He ate 1.5 jin a day, which would amount to 22,500 yuan.
And this is just the food; it doesn't even include the other nutritional supplements that can help the frog grow better.
Raising spirit beasts is a very expensive and time-consuming field of study.
The main reason Xu Xian chose the path of a pharmacist was to develop the most suitable nutritional medicine for his contracted spirit beasts.
