101: Sign a contract and plunder treasures?

A long time passed.

Chu Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them, but he also couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just like when he previously learned the seventh-grade Alchemy Dao, he could feel that his Comprehension Ability was significantly slower, not just by a little bit.

He even had a feeling that if it weren't for the primal divine crystal assisting him, he probably wouldn't have been able to comprehend seventh-grade Alchemy Dao knowledge or this Formation diagram at all.

He already had a vague guess about this.

"Perhaps, as my strength increases, Earth-Grade Comprehension Ability is becoming somewhat insufficient."

Chu Yuan muttered, but didn't think much of it.

Although Bai Zhi's attitude towards him was still good, he wouldn't enter the primal origin space at this time.

Better safe than sorry!

"The Formation is indeed a Contract Formation!"

Now that he had comprehended this Contract Formation, he naturally knew this.

Although he couldn't yet condense runes to set up the Formation, condensing and activating the runes for the Formation was very simple to do.

Incidentally, he had also searched Duanmu Shenfeng's sumeru ring earlier and found some knowledge about Contract Formations.

Bai Zhi hadn't lied to him; everything she said was verifiable.

Furthermore, Chu Yuan also knew that when signing an equal contract, the initial contract content only stated that both parties should treat each other as equals and not harm each other.

However, if both parties agreed, some contract terms could be added.

For example, not allowing harm to the other party's friends and family;

Or, if one party was in trouble, the other party needed to provide appropriate assistance, and so on.

These things could all be added as long as both parties agreed.

Chu Yuan stood up, took a deep breath, condensed spiritual energy in his hand, and tapped the starry sky in front of him three times.

The starry sky vibrated slightly, directly sending him out.

In the courtyard.

Bai Zhi was lazily sprawled on a tree, enjoying the cool, when she saw Chu Yuan appear.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Did you learn how to activate the Formation?"

Chu Yuan nodded.

Bai Zhi's expression brightened, and she quickly wrapped Chu Yuan and brought him to another room.

This time, it was just a room much larger than an ordinary one.

But in the center of the room, there was an altar, on which many runes were carved.

Chu Yuan only glanced at it twice before realizing that this was the seventh-grade Contract Formation.

"How do we do it?"

Bai Zhi pointed at the altar and asked, her eyes filled with urgency and excitement.

Chu Yuan walked around the altar, confirming everything was correct, then stood at the contract position.

He looked at Bai Zhi, pointed to the other contract position, and said, "Senior Little Bai, just stand there!"

Bai Zhi quickly jumped over.

She knew this much; she just didn't know how to activate it.

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and condensed the activation runes for the Contract Formation.

As the runes fell into the Formation, light flickered on the altar, and a mysterious, profound Qi appeared between the two.

This wisp of Qi represented the medium for communicating with Heaven and Earth, allowing Heaven and Earth to hear their voices.

At this moment, Chu Yuan spoke, "Senior Little Bai, I want to add a few contract terms. Do you think that's okay?"

"Speak!"

Bai Zhi replied, with no intention of refusing.

Chu Yuan nodded and stated his ideas.

The main points were:

No unwarranted harm to the other party's friends and family!

If one of the two parties was in trouble, the other party could provide appropriate assistance.

The rest were minor details.

After listening, Bai Zhi didn't refuse either, nodding and saying, "None of these are major issues; I can agree to them. Let's sign!"

Chu Yuan nodded.

The two looked at each other and spoke simultaneously:

"Heavenly Dao above, today I, Chu Yuan / demon fox Little Bai, hereby sign an equal contract, with both parties respecting each other and coexisting peacefully..."

"Contract established!"

As their voices fell, two mysterious and profound wisps of Qi entered their foreheads.

Then, the light of the Contract Formation dissipated, eventually rapidly disintegrating.

The Contract Formation!

It could not be used an unlimited number of times; each use consumed a huge amount and it was a one-time Formation.

Unlike other Formations, if the consumption was not too severe, the spiritual materials could be recovered for secondary use.

Feeling that their contract was established, Bai Zhi closed her eyes to sense it, then couldn't help but show a joyful expression.

"Let's go!"

"I'll take you to raid Old Man Lu's treasures. You don't have to take anything else, but you must take that Medicine Cauldron!"

With that, Bai Zhi wrapped Chu Yuan and entered the last room.

What Chu Yuan didn't expect was that this room was actually a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment spanning several thousand square meters.

The living room seemed to be for receiving guests, with a tea set still placed on the table.

Besides the living room, there were three residential rooms.

Bai Zhi said one was a Pill Refining Room, one was a lounge, and one was... a storage room?

Chu Yuan glanced at the so-called storage room and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It should be called a treasure vault, right?

Inside, various weapons, talismans, books, spiritual materials, and so on were casually placed everywhere.

But just for weapons, the lowest seemed to be Spirit Treasures, right?

He hadn't studied talismans, so he couldn't really tell, but for spiritual materials, the lowest were all fourth-grade.

Chu Yuan was secretly astonished.

At this moment, Bai Zhi spoke again, "Anyway, Old Man Lu's Divine Soul has perished and his Dao has vanished; these things are useless if left behind. Take whatever you fancy."

Chu Yuan stared blankly at Bai Zhi, "Senior Little Bai, can I really take whatever I want? If I take everything, will you get angry?"

"Why would I get angry? Take it if you want!"

Bai Zhi said indifferently, "See that tea set? It's said to be a set of top-grade Spirit Treasures, and tea brewed with it tastes very good. You can take it!"

"And that Medicine Cauldron in the Pill Refining Room, Old Man Lu said it's a super ninth-grade Medicine Cauldron, called the mysterious yellow pale moon cauldron, an existence he wouldn't trade even for a top-grade Divine Artifact. You'll need it for Alchemy later."

"As for the others, I don't see anything special, so it's up to you!"

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and went forward to glance at the Medicine Cauldron.

Then she said, "Old Man Lu's Divine Soul has perished, and his Divine Soul imprint on the Medicine Cauldron has disappeared. You can put it away first, and then place your Divine Soul imprint on it before using it."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan nodded and put away the tea set and the mysterious yellow pale moon cauldron.

Then, he quickly scanned the Pill Refining Room and soon collected some usable Spirit Medicine.

As for Medicinal Pills, he also found a few bottles.

Unfortunately, he couldn't tell what those Medicinal Pills were for, so he could only put them aside for now.

Subsequently, just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly fell upon the cushion on the ground.

A cushion used by an Alchemist would surely not be simple!

Indeed!

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a special top-grade Spirit Treasure.

Naturally, he put it away.

Then, he came to the adjacent lounge, only to find that it was very empty, with nothing but a bed inside.

The bed was just an ordinary bed, only its material was somewhat special.

Chu Yuan reached out and touched it, felt nothing unusual, and was about to leave.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and disassembled the bed.

However, facts proved that he had indeed overthought it.

There was nothing.

Afterward, he went to the storage room and packed up everything inside, taking it all with him.

He could then sort and categorize them when he had time later.

Seeing him do this, Bai Zhi didn't say anything either.

"Let's go!"

Her body shrunk, and she landed directly on Chu Yuan's shoulder, saying.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said apologetically, "Senior Little Bai, can you help me check if there are any other treasures in this room?"

"None!"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "This is Old Man Lu's territory. He always puts his things out in the open; he wouldn't hide them."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Yuan, thought for a moment, and then her voice transmitted again.
