120: The abilities of the rainbow jellyfish

The 'umbrella canopy' of this "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish" was nearly thirty meters wide. Its body shimmered with various colors, casting a mottled play of light and shadow on the surrounding environment in the dark night.

The "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish" could naturally sense the approach of the grandfather and grandson. Detecting the faint Spirit Rank aura emanating from Chu Jingyu, it instinctively wanted to move away.

But before it could float elsewhere, the smaller human with the lower Realm arrived before the tentacles hanging down into the forest.

He pulled out three glittering Source Spirit Stone from his robe and placed them upon its tentacles.

Rich, abundant energy transferred from the Source Spirit Stone into the tentacles and then spread throughout its entire body. The "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish's" original intention to leave was instantly cast to the Nine Heavens.

After the three Source Spirit Stone were absorbed, Chu Shengfan placed his palm against the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish's" tentacle and transmitted his intent.

"If you form a contract with me, there will be plenty of Source Spirit Stone in the future."

The thoughts of a mere Uncommon Rank "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish" were relatively simple. It didn't quite understand what a contract was, and it had never seen a small human like Chu Shengfan on that wasteland before.

So, it impatiently curled a tentacle and poked Chu Shengfan. The massive tentacle poked Chu Shengfan back several steps.

Chu Shengfan looked up at the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish's" canopy in a bit of a daze, not quite understanding what it meant.

On the contrary, Chu Jingyu smiled from the side. "It should be agreeing. Otherwise, it would have just left instead of poking you gently like this."

Chu Shengfan looked at the tentacle before him, which was as thick as his entire body, between laughter and tears. Its definition of 'gentle strength' and his might be a bit different.

He stepped forward twice and slowly pressed his palm against the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish's" tentacle. Mental Energy flowed slowly from Chu Shengfan's palm into the body of the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish."

A golden pattern spread from where Chu Shengfan touched the tentacle, extending across the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish's" entire body, which looked like jelly but was exceptionally resilient.

A close connection was gradually established between the human and the beast.

The moment the contract was finalized, Chu Mu, who was in the ancestral hall, immediately noticed the change in the Family member's information.

「Species: Colorful Cloud Jellyfish

Rank: Intermediate Alien Tier

Aptitude: One in a Hundred

Status: Expectant, Curious

Elemental Affinity: Elemental, Void, Light

Skills: 1. Phantasmal Colorful Clouds: Condenses colorful glowing clouds to gather different elemental energies within them, thereby raining down attacks of various attributes upon a target area.

Burning Clouds: Rains down pillars of fire on the target area, or carries extreme heat while making physical contact with the target.

Rainy Mist Clouds: Rains down silk-like droplets, condensing a drifting rainy mist that interferes with mental detection.

Frosty Snow Clouds: Drops snowflakes to significantly lower the surrounding ambient temperature and can also drop ice blades.

Sandstorm Clouds: Sand and dust rise, working together to condense a sandstorm that attacks targets over a wide area.

2. Resilient Body: The body is soft yet tough.

3. Phantom Mist Spirit Light: The body releases mist that fills the surrounding environment. Combined with the spirit light it emits, it can cause targets within to fall into an illusion.

Evolution Paths: 1. Colorful Cloud Jellyfish → Illusion Light Cloud Mother (Requires no special cultivation; it can naturally advance through normal growth.)

2. Colorful Cloud Jellyfish → Spirit Origin Cloud Mother (Can be viewed by consuming seven hundred and forty Source Spirits.)」

Although there were only three skills, the first skill could be used as many different skills. From the perspective of this skill, this Source Beast was very well-rounded.

This was also the first time Chu Mu had seen a Source Beast that could advance simply through natural growth. No matter how one looked at it, while these 'Jellyfish' Source Beasts were gentle and simple-minded, their racial potential was truly not low.

If it weren't for the fact that the Phantom Mist Spirit Plain they inhabited was so difficult to find, this kind of Source Beast would definitely become the most popular in the county. After all, once contracted, as long as they were well-provided for, there would be no worry about whether the Family's Spirit Rank seeds could grow steadily to the Spirit Rank.

However, another speculation arose in Chu Mu's mind. Although it said the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish" could grow into an "Illusion Light Cloud Mother" of the Spirit Rank without special cultivation...

It didn't mention the time required for their normal growth. If they grew slowly and outlived their own Contract Master, then their value would have to be discounted somewhat.

But for now, with Chu Mu's existence, this drawback could be resolved. At worst, they could just choose another growth path.

In the dark forest, the contract was completed, and Chu Shengfan also learned the relevant information about the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish."

He pressed his palm against the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish's" tentacle and then withdrew it into his Source Beast space.

In just an instant, a large patch of empty space appeared above the grandfather and grandson's heads.

The mist in the surrounding woods seemed to dissipate slightly, and faint moonlight spilled into the forest.

Seeing that Chu Shengfan had completed the contract, a smile appeared on Chu Jingyu's face. Only after Chu Shengfan opened his eyes did he ask, "How is it?"

Chu Shengfan's face showed unconcealed joy. "Very good. Its skills are very comprehensive. If my younger brothers and sisters don't mind, I think they could also choose a Colorful Cloud Jellyfish to contract."

To hear Chu Shengfan say such words meant he was indeed very satisfied. Chu Jingyu looked at the other 'Jellyfish' floating freely in the back mountain; he needed to find a way to corral them. If they drifted elsewhere, wouldn't that be a loss for the Family?

However, although these creatures were gentle, their size was too massive, and they could float freely in the sky. Wanting to keep them in an enclosure was no simple task.

Seeing his grandfather's complex and changing expression, Chu Shengfan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandfather, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Jingyu pointed to the 'Jellyfish' in other areas. "I'm thinking about how to corral these Jellyfish."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Chu Shengfan narrowed his eyes in thought for a moment and then said:

"When my younger brother returned, didn't he bring some of the grass from the wasteland where they live? If we create an environment suitable for them to reside in, perhaps they won't wander around?"

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, Chu Jingyu's eyes lit up. He gave Chu Shengfan an appreciative look. "We can give it a try."

He led Chu Shengfan toward the mountaintop. "Tomorrow I will go to town. You and your father should go ahead and clear all the timber from this back mountain, and then begin cultivating and planting those Spiritual Plants.

If there aren't enough hands, select two loyal ones from the servants for Spirit Opening, and have them contract Green Leaf Giant Insects to take good care of the Spiritual Plants."

As he spoke, Chu Jingyu took out a shimmering page from his jade pendant. He carefully explained its function to Chu Shengfan and then placed it in Chu Shengfan's hand.

Chu Shengfan looked at the page in his hand with a look of disbelief. Every time he thought he understood what Ancestor Chu was capable of, the Ancestor would always pull out something unexpected.

He lowered his head and solemnly put the page away, saying to his grandfather, "Alright, I will certainly handle this matter properly."
