100: Contract magic circle?

Seeing Bai Zhi disappear, Chu Yuan couldn't help but feel slightly startled.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Zhi reappear, clutching a pure white jade bead in one of her front paws.

She looked at Chu Yuan, her gaze burning brightly as she said, "This is the vessel for the Inheritance Space from just now. I can give it to you, but you need to promise me three things."

She had just checked; this young man had actually completed the Sixth-Grade assessment.

That is to say, as long as his strength was sufficient and he quickly condensed his Pill Fire to the sixth-grade pill Fire, he could refine sixth-grade pills.

Refining sixth-grade pills with the strength of the Spirit Crystal Realm—this was a small Prodigy!

Hearing her words, Chu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and he glanced at the white jade bead held by Bai Zhi.

Then, he looked at Bai Zhi. "Senior Little Bai, please speak freely. If it is within my capability, I will certainly agree to it."

Bai Zhi glanced at him, a strange look flashing in her eyes, and then she said:

"The first thing is to sign a contract with me and take me away from here."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's expression slightly stiffened, and he secretly grew wary. "May I ask what kind of contract Senior Little Bai wishes to sign?"

Bai Zhi looked at him and said naturally, "If it were a master-servant contract, I imagine you wouldn't be willing to be a servant. So let's sign an equal contract!"

"That is acceptable!"

Although the binding force of an equal contract was not too strong, it was quite good for both parties, and Chu Yuan had no reason to refuse.

However, thinking of something, Chu Yuan curiously asked, "Senior Little Bai, your strength must be quite formidable, so why would you need..."

Chu Yuan did not finish his sentence, but Bai Zhi already knew what he meant.

She said with a hint of helplessness, "When Old Man Lu decided to play chess against Senior Jiang, I was only at the Fourth-Tier Cultivation level. To prevent me from running out and being killed, he set up a Restriction within this space, making it impossible for me to leave."

"He said back then that either I Breakthrough to the Saint Realm and break the Restriction to leave."

"Or someone from the Human Race comes here, signs a contract with me, and takes me away."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan understood.

He then said, "Senior Little Bai, what about the remaining two things?"

Bai Zhi composed herself and continued:

"The second thing, after you are promoted to a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, you need to prepare one hundred for me every month..."

As she spoke, Bai Zhi suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:

"Seeing that your strength is not high, I won't make things difficult for you. Just prepare thirty spirit origin pills for me every month until I no longer want them."

"Is that acceptable?"

"spirit origin pill?" Chu Yuan thought of this sixth-grade pill, and his expression grew slightly strange.

He had known it. The spirit origin pill only contained a large amount of gentle Spiritual Qi and was much more fragrant; it had no other significant effects.

Furthermore, the spirit origin pill was not difficult to refine, yet Pill Saint Lu Xuan had included it in the Sixth-Grade assessment Pill Formula. So this was why!

He even speculated that perhaps the Pill Saint had specially created this Medicinal Pill for the white fox?!

He didn't think further and immediately said, "Of course, there is no problem!"

Bai Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and then continued, "I haven't thought of the third thing yet. We'll discuss it when I do."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan had just revealed a look of difficulty, but then he heard Bai Zhi continue:

"Of course, the request I make at that time absolutely will not violate your will. How about that?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Senior Little Bai, I agree to everything!"

Receiving this answer, Bai Zhi nodded contentedly and tossed the white jade bead over.

"Here you go!"

Chu Yuan took the white jade bead and heard Bai Zhi's voice continue to sound.

"If the Inheritance Space is to be opened again, you need to wait one month, and you must replenish all the Spirit Medicine that was consumed."

"You can replenish things inside or take out the Medicinal Pills by placing a Divine Soul imprint on it."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan frowned slightly, his expression a little awkward. "Senior Little Bai, I don't know how to place a Divine Soul imprint!"

"It's normal not to know!"

Bai Zhi stated matter-of-factly, "Cultivators of the Human Race need to Breakthrough to the Spirit Soul Realm before their Soul can give birth to a special property, which Old Man Lu called Divinity."

"Only when the Soul gives birth to Divinity can one Cultivate Divine Thought, and only with Divine Thought can one complete a Divine Soul imprint."

"Compared to the method of recognizing a master by dripping blood, the method of recognizing a master by placing a Divine Soul imprint makes the weapon much easier to handle."

"Furthermore, Divine Thought is not just slightly stronger than perception; it is a leap across an entire stratum."

Chu Yuan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

Then he heard Bai Zhi continue, "Put it away for now. You won't need to open the Legacy again immediately anyway. We'll talk about it later."

"Alright!"

Chu Yuan nodded, put away the Legacy jade bead, and then looked at Bai Zhi.

He asked, "Senior Little Bai, what is the procedure for signing the contract?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi said with a hint of distress, "No rush. First, see if you can understand this Formation diagram. The contract Formation is already here, but I don't know how to activate it."

Saying this, she tossed over a Formation diagram.

"This is the Formation diagram for a Seventh-Grade Formation. You don't need to master it; you just need to understand a tiny bit—enough to activate the Formation!"

"If you can't, then you'll just have to stay here with me and wait until the Formation is activated and the contract is signed before you can leave."

Chu Yuan took the Formation diagram, his expression somewhat strange as he said, "Senior Little Bai, does signing a contract require a Formation? I thought Pill Saint Senior would have prepared a contract talisman or something for you?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi shook her head.

"It's not that simple. Except for master-servant contracts, which can be signed using talismans, co-existence contracts and equal contracts all require the use of a contract Formation."

"The contract Formation communicates with heaven and earth, and only when both parties agree can the contract be signed."

"As for the master-servant contract talisman, it doesn't require the agreement of the other party; it only needs to inform this heaven and earth, and the contract is directly established."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan nodded thoughtfully and lowered his head to look at the Formation diagram.

With the foundation of a Sixth-Grade Formation Master's attainment, although he couldn't immediately comprehend this Formation, mastering the activation method within it was very simple.

But he suddenly thought of something, put the Formation diagram into his primal origin space, and quickly copied a duplicate.

At the same time, he looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Senior Little Bai, I need a little time. Where did Pill Saint Senior Cultivate in seclusion before?"

Bai Zhi did not doubt him and said, "Follow me!"

Subsequently, she led Chu Yuan into a room next door.

Suddenly, a white light flashed before their eyes, and Chu Yuan and Bai Zhi arrived in a starry sky.

Chu Yuan looked at the starry sky beneath his feet, his expression inevitably filled with shock. Was this where the Pill Saint usually Cultivated in seclusion?

He saw countless stars suspended in the starry sky, shimmering with faint light.

And Chu Yuan and Bai Zhi stood there in the starry sky, appearing so minuscule.

At this moment, Bai Zhi's voice suddenly rang out, "This is Old Man Lu's place of Cultivation. He seemed to have said that the area within a hundred miles of where we are standing has a certain enhancement effect on comprehension. You can comprehend it right here."

"If you master how to activate the Formation, just tap the starry sky three times with your Spiritual Qi, and you can leave here."

As her voice fell, she had already left.

Chu Yuan nodded slightly, took out the copied contract Formation diagram, and began to study it.

Speaking of which, although Duanmu Shenfeng had prepared many Formation diagrams for his Legacy successor, this was the first time Chu Yuan had heard of a contract Formation.

And he certainly didn't have the diagram for it!

Or perhaps, the contract Formation was likely at least Seventh-Grade, and he hadn't seen one before.

Chu Yuan didn't dwell on it and focused on comprehending and studying the Seventh-Grade contract Formation.
