162: Sign an equal contract with Ye Qingyi

"Xiaoxiao, it's daytime now, which isn't very suitable for your Cultivation. Go back into the jade pendant for now."

Chu Yuan said.

Actually, the spirit governing space was more suitable for Chu Xiaoxiao to Cultivate, but Chu Xiaoxiao didn't have the spirit governing runes on her, so she couldn't enter.

Besides, in front of Ye Qingyi, he temporarily had no intention of revealing the existence of the spirit governing space.

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Brother Chu Yuan, then I'll come out again tonight."

With that, she vanished into the jade pendant.

Chu Yuan carefully put away the jade pendant close to his body, then looked at the three, "Bai Zhi, speaking of which, is there something you guys need, coming so early?"

Bai Zhi raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Qingyi, smiling meaningfully, "It's not that we have something, but this woman has something for you."

Chu Yuan turned to look at Ye Qingyi, "Sister, is there something you need from me?"

Ye Qingyi bit her red lip lightly, a hint of hope in her eyes, "Little Brother, I thought about it last night and decided to sign an equal contract with you to become your Dao Protector. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly.

Although he was truly angry with this woman and had wanted to use the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art on her before.

But now that Chu Xiaoxiao had become her Disciple, and her attitude was quite good, he decided to let it go.

Since he couldn't enslave her, he could only sign a contract.

Chu Yuan nodded and repeated all the contract terms he had proposed to Bai Zhi, even adding the non-existent role of Dao Protector.

Finally, he said, "Sister Qingyi, if you can agree to these terms, I will agree to sign an equal contract."

"Okay!"

Ye Qingyi almost didn't hesitate, quickly nodding in agreement.

"However, I need to go buy a Formation Plate for the contract. Please wait for me."

With that, she turned to leave.

But at this moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I have a Formation Plate here, but I think we can add another contract term."

As the voice fell, Shangguan Xinglan walked in from outside, holding a seventh-grade Formation Plate in her hand.

It was indeed a seventh-grade contract Formation Plate!

Ye Qingyi frowned, her deep eyes fixed on her, "What condition do you want to add?"

Shangguan Xinglan glanced at the two and said, "It's simple: you are not allowed to harm anyone from Xuantian Sect, and he is not allowed to harm anyone from Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss."

Ye Qingyi frowned, "This condition is unfavorable to me, and... to a certain extent, it's also unfavorable to Little Brother."

Shangguan Xinglan frowned, a subtle hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, Chu Yuan understood Ye Qingyi's meaning and said, "Revered Master, this restriction is indeed not perfect."

"Oh?"

Shangguan Xinglan raised an eyebrow, "Chu Yuan, tell me why."

Chu Yuan nodded, "Revered Master, have you considered what should be done if someone from Xuantian Sect attacks and tries to kill Sister Qingyi?"

"And what if people from the four clans learn of this contract, nominally join Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss, and then attack me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Xinglan's expression changed slightly, and she nodded, "That was my oversight. Then let's add a restriction."

Ye Qingyi thoughtfully said, "I agree to this term, but it needs to be modified:"

"Provided that no one from Xuantian Sect harms me, Little Brother, or my six subordinates, I will not attack anyone from Xuantian Sect."

"If someone does attack, then I can also retaliate specifically."

Speaking, she glanced at Chu Yuan and continued, "As for Little Brother's side, as long as he doesn't harm You Lian and the other six, how about that?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xinglan gave her a deep look. This concession... was significant!

"Okay!"

She nodded in agreement and was about to raise her hand to activate the contract Formation Plate in her hand.

But at this moment, Han Linger suddenly said, "Revered Master, what if someone speaks disrespectfully, insults, or slanders? In such a situation, if one doesn't retaliate, I'm afraid..."

Ye Qingyi and Chu Yuan looked at Shangguan Xinglan.

But she looked at Ye Qingyi and nodded faintly, "A God Realm Cultivator cannot be insulted. Then let's add that in."

Soon, Chu Yuan and Ye Qingyi signed the contract, which was acknowledged by this world.

At this point, Shangguan Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

Thus, as long as the people of Xuantian Sect didn't court death, Ye Qingyi couldn't attack them.

As for Bai Zhi, this Demon God, she wasn't too worried.

Because she saw no hostility towards humans in Bai Zhi's eyes, while in Ye Qingyi's eyes, although much less than other Demon Gods and Ghost Gods, some still existed.

Now, with the contract's restraint, she could naturally feel a bit more at ease.

Of course, it was still necessary to keep an eye on them; the specific situation of Xuantian Sect could not be stolen by these two.

She thought to herself, her gaze sweeping over Chu Yuan and Han Linger, "Chu Yuan, just Cultivate normally. As for Ling'er, you must Cultivate well and not be left too far behind by your Senior Brother."

Speaking, she looked at Bai Zhi and Ye Qingyi again, "Fellow Daoists, I have something to go out for. Make yourselves at home."

The few nodded.

Shangguan Xinglan left, heading straight towards Lingxiao Peak.

Soon, all the peaks of Xuantian Sect received a ban on offending Bai Zhi and the other two.

Meanwhile, here.

Han Linger, having been singled out by Shangguan Xinglan, reluctantly went back to Cultivate.

As for Chu Yuan, after Cultivating the Thunder Armor and Thunder Shadow Steps for a while, he made playing cards and started playing 'Fight the Landlord' with Bai Zhi.

Shangguan Xinglan, who had returned, saw this scene and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Chu Yuan, although you have reached a Bottleneck in your Cultivation, the Cultivation of Spirit Skills cannot be neglected. Once you step into the God Realm, you'll have plenty of time to play. Do you understand what your Revered Master is saying?"

Chu Yuan threw down the playing cards, stood up, and responded, "Revered Master, I understand. I'll go Cultivate now."

With that, he used Thunder Shadow Steps, lightning flickering, constantly darting around Ziyan Peak.

"It really is Major Achievement Thunder Shadow Steps!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Xinglan's eyes. A Heaven-Grade Spirit Skill reached Major Achievement in just over ten days. This Disciple's talent is truly astonishing!

She watched for a moment, saw no problems, and then slightly cupped her hands to Bai Zhi.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be interested in a couple of games of chess?"

"Of course!"

The two nodded in agreement... Time flew by, and two months passed in a blink of an eye.

For two months, Chu Yuan practiced Thunder Shadow Steps daily, occasionally practicing Thunder Armor.

Now, Thunder Shadow Steps, without the reinforcement of the primal divine crystal, had also reached Perfection.

As for Thunder Armor, it was still at Major Achievement, but it was Major Achievement in Shangguan Xinglan's eyes.

Besides Cultivating Spirit Skills, he either practiced Alchemy or guided Han Linger in her Cultivation.

Regarding Alchemy, Senior Martial Uncle Wei Qiongyu of Dan Peak had come to observe, but stated that Chu Yuan's work was impeccable and required no guidance.

Because of this, the other party even wanted to take him as a Disciple, but Shangguan Xinglan politely declined.

Early morning.

A massive spirit boat departed from Xuantian Sect, heading west.

On the flying boat, besides Chu Yuan, Bai Zhi, and the other three, there were also some Disciples from Xuantian Sect.

And the team leader this time was Shangguan Xinglan.

With the Qiyuan Secret Realm opening, Xuantian Sect naturally needed to participate.

More precisely, it was to let the Disciples enter for experience, to gain Opportunities, and also to temper themselves more.

Of course, although Cultivators below Spirit Venerable could enter the Qiyuan Secret Realm, the lowest realm among those from Xuantian Sect this time was the Spirit Crystal Realm.

And on the spirit boat, Chu Yuan once again met an old acquaintance.
