Chapter 378: Chapter 126: Song Yiqing’s Hope for Nascent Soul Formation

Generally speaking, a Tier Three Middle-Grade Trapping and Killing Array should sell for over eight hundred thousand spirit stones.

Master Nanyue’s offer of six hundred thousand was already very generous, showing consideration for him.

Zhou Xun nodded, took out sixty high-grade spirit stones, handed them to Master Nanyue, and then placed the “Ice and Fire Cloud Array” into his storage bag.

He then took his leave.

Upon returning to the temporary cave mansion, Song Yiqing was also back.

Zhou Xun gave her fifty thousand spirit stones, allowing her to wander around Tianhan City at her leisure.

“Husband, you’re back!” Song Yiqing said with a smile.

“Yes!” Zhou Xun nodded, looking at his concubine, and asked with a thought in mind,

“Yiqing, what would you think if you were to change your cultivation technique?”

“Whatever cultivation technique it is, I’ll listen to you, husband!” Song Yiqing said.

In her view, Zhou Xun’s choice for her could not possibly be wrong, especially since Zhou Xun is a Core Formation Cultivator with broader insights.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded.

He recalled the “Spirit Control Scripture” that Master Tianci had given him.

This cultivation technique had different requirements for the cultivator’s talent than ordinary techniques.

What mattered was not the cultivator’s spiritual root talent but the bloodline level of her contracted lifebound spirit beast.

Moreover, this bloodline could even be enhanced.

Such a cultivation technique was quite redundant for Zhou Xun but a rebirth opportunity for someone like Song Yiqing, who had poor spiritual root talent.

Furthermore, Zhou Xun possessed the Red Fire Simurgh, a spirit beast with extremely high-grade bloodlines.

If Zhou Xun could lift the restrictions and allow Song Yiqing to contract it as her lifebound spirit beast, it might change her future cultivation path.

Moreover, since he needed to deal with Feng Yuee, who clearly sought the bloodline of the Cyan Simurgh within the Red Fire Simurgh,

since he could covet what belonged to me, why couldn’t I covet what belonged to him?

I could let Song Yiqing cultivate the Spirit Control Scripture, contract the Red Fire Simurgh, and then devour Feng Yuee’s lifebound spirit beast to enhance the Red Fire Simurgh’s bloodline level!

By then, Song Yiqing’s talent could also improve!

Immediately, Zhou Xun took out the jade scroll of the “Spirit Control Scripture” and handed it to Song Yiqing.

“This is a cultivation technique I recently acquired…”

Then, he introduced this cultivation technique in detail.

“So, if I cultivate this technique, I might be able to break through my current talent shackles and form a True Pill in the future!” Song Yiqing’s eyes lit up with excitement.

’If that’s the case, I could keep up with my husband!’

Song Yiqing’s greatest wish now was to stay by Zhou Xun’s side for a longer time.

“Indeed, that’s why I thought of you!” Zhou Xun nodded!

“I’m willing to cultivate it, but if I contract the Crimson Flame Simurgh, won’t you be without a spirit beast to ride?”

Song Yiqing hesitated.

“Given my current status, acquiring a flying spirit beast is truly easy, so you need not worry!” Zhou Xun said with a smile.

“Then I’ll listen to you, husband, and cultivate this ’Spirit Control Scripture’!”

Saying this, she infused her divine sense into the jade scroll and began studying.

Three days later, Song Yiqing was basically familiar with the Spirit Control Scripture, and the next step of cultivation was to contract a lifebound spirit beast.

Zhou Xun chose the Crimson Flame Simurgh for her.

The Crimson Flame Simurgh was personally cared for and grown by Song Yiqing, and the two were extremely close, making a successful contract highly likely.

In the cave mansion, Zhou Xun tapped the spirit beast bag, summoning the Crimson Flame Simurgh.

He then performed a series of hand seals, emitting strands of spirit light.

Soon, all the restrictions on the Crimson Flame Simurgh were lifted, and the divine sense seeds Zhou Xun had implanted were erased.

All that was left was for Song Yiqing to contract it.

A Tier Two spirit beast already had considerable intelligence, so if it resisted strongly, the contract would likely fail.

Thus, Song Yiqing spent a day communicating with the Crimson Flame Simurgh, eventually gaining its consent and began performing the contract secret technique!

Two more days passed, and the door to the cultivation room opened.

Song Yiqing emerged with a smile.

“How did it go?” Zhou Xun asked.

“It succeeded!” Song Yiqing replied.

After contracting her lifebound spirit beast, every time the Crimson Flame Simurgh cultivated, she would be nourished, accelerating her own cultivation!

Even her original bottleneck had been lowered.

“By the way, husband!”

“The ’Spirit Control Scripture’ records several different types of Spirit Feeding Pills, and I’ll need your help refining them!”

Song Yiqing said, noting that since the Crimson Flame Simurgh is a fire attribute demon beast, consuming fire attribute Spirit Feeding Pills would better aid its advancement.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Feeding Pills Zhou Xun had previously mastered had no attribute distinctions and were generally suitable for all Tier Two demon beasts!

However, broad adaptability sometimes meant mediocrity and poor efficacy!

“Do you have the pill recipes?”

“Yes, I do!”

Song Yiqing then informed Zhou Xun of several Spirit Feeding Pill recipes recorded in the “Spirit Control Scripture”.

This would allow precise feeding for the Profound Armor Armadillo and other beasts in the future!

Zhou Xun looked over them:

“They actually use Tier Two demon pills as the main ingredient, truly extravagant!”

To know, even the Foundation Establishment Pill, which could improve a Qi Refining cultivator’s probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, uses demon pills as the main ingredient.

If such spirit pills can’t quickly advance the spirit beasts, it would be truly unreasonable.

“Alright, leave the matter of the Spirit Feeding Pills to me. You just focus on cultivating well and mastering the secret techniques recorded in the ’Spirit Control Scripture’ as soon as possible!”

Then, Zhou Xun ordered the procurement of many Tier Two demon pills.

He then set up the cauldron and began alchemy!

With his quasi-third-tier alchemy level, these Tier Two Spirit Feeding Pills were naturally not challenging.

Over the next half month, Zhou Xun spent his time refining Spirit Feeding Pills.

One day, the door of the cultivation room opened, and Zhou Xun came out, placing over twenty bottles of fire attribute Spirit Feeding Pills in front of Song Yiqing.

“Thank you, husband!”

Song Yiqing rejoiced and immediately waved her hand to store them all into her storage bag.

“In this half month, how has your ’Spirit Control Scripture’ cultivation progressed?” Zhou Xun asked.

He had another reason for letting Song Yiqing cultivate this technique: to familiarize her with its strengths and weaknesses in advance, giving him an edge in magical combat.

“I have already completed the initial cultivation!”

“Let’s perform it once to get familiar!”

Song Yiqing naturally had no issues with that; she then performed hand seals, and her spirit light transformed!

Her entire being suddenly flashed and then mysteriously merged with the Crimson Flame Simurgh, her aura reaching the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment level!

“Truly miraculous!” Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun clicked his tongue in wonder!

“Come, attack me!”

Immediately, Song Yiqing waved her hand!

A brilliant yellow flame generated instantly, raising the temperature of the cave mansion’s hall by an unknown amount!

It then hurled towards Zhou Xun!

Zhou Xun did not dodge, directly taking this strike, unscathed!

Then, Song Yiqing transformed into a red light, charging towards him, her delicate fist heavily striking Zhou Xun’s forearm.

Carefully experiencing the power of these two attacks!

“Indeed, the power is enhanced by at least fifty percent when combined. This cultivation technique is indeed unique, only a pity its requirements on the spirit beast contract are too high!”

Otherwise, it would be a boon for cultivators all over the world!
