Capítulo 40: Chapter 40 Protector Spiritual Beast
Editor: Exodus Tales
The spirit master couldn't help but mutter to himself. After a long while, he became totally silent, and his body started to turn stiff and cold.
Zong Shou sucked in a deep breath, his nervous senses relaxed. The few blood talismans that he had drawn on his body had already worn off. The wind pelted him, and in the blink of an eye his clothes were totally wet.
He had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy and essence energy from that person with the Energy Swallowing Technique. However, he didn't have any energy left, he fell backwards and laid face up in the mud, looking up at at the dark starry night.
"Tsk! Just a spirit master who had reached the peak of Soul Observing stage…"
Even the battle three months ago against Mythic Master Wu Wei was far from the difficulty of this fight.
At that time, there was Yin Yang helping out and Zong Shou didn't need to be at the front, which was why his knife could succeed. But today, a spirit master who was an entire Realm lower than Wu Wei had hindered him, and he had nearly lost his life.
These people training in Spirit Cultivation and incantation methods might not be as strong in battle as martial cultivators were, but if they were prepared and had talisman formations and altars set up, with Protector Spirit Beasts to assist them, their strength could increase several times over, and was not something same stage martial cultivators could face.
This person who called himself Qi Xiao was just like that. He had two Grade Two spirit beasts and their strengths weren't too much weaker than that Burning Sword Wu Wei.
However, although this battle was tough, it didn't force him to use his trump card.
Once his tight muscles slowly relaxed, Zong Shou stowed the Willow Mark talisman knife by his left sleeve into his clothes, and barely managed to lever himself back to his feet.
He originally wanted to use the sword to support him, but the moment he stood up, the Wind Stealth sword immediately broke into pieces, and he nearly fell down once more.
"Seems like this talisman sword was just a defective product. I was wondering how these people were be so rich…"
His thoughts didn't relax much. Although these swords were defective, behind these assasins was a high-grade spirit blacksmith, or maybe they had a special relationship with the armor and weapon shops that sold talisman weapons.
One must know that within the Donglin Cloud Continent, even defective items were not things that normal people could buy.
Walking in front of the Yin Yang formation, Zong Shou searched through all the items that the white-robed man had on him.
There were a few hundred talismans whose grades weren't low, among which twenty were obviously from the hands of a Night Roaming spirit master. That Peach Wood Sword was also around three hundred years old, and Zong Shou gladly accepted it.
Next would be his bag, inside which were about fifty spirit healing pills for healing spirit injuries in porcelain bottles. There were also bottles and cans of items normally used by spirit masters, Grade One and Two beast crystals. Apart from that, there was also a Grade Three spirit beast that was still sealed.
"It is actually a Grade Five Dark Chill Tiger spirit soul! Where did this person come from? His background is rich and is no less than those inner disciples of the Lingyun Sect! One Duyang Mountain Burning Sword Wu Wei, now a Qi Xiao. Before my uncle or cousins act, I will probably make enemies with all the powers in the Donglin Cloud Continent…"
As he was thinking this, Zong Shou directly kicked away Qi Xiao's body. He stepped into the center of the formation, stepping on the two eyes of the Yin and Yang as he reignited the two candles.
His hands formed into a seal and he spoke out a series of incantations. In a short while, Zong Shou could feel spirit energy connecting to him bit by bit.
This was the power of a formation, using the power of talismans and the art of formations to connect to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and raise the strength of the incantations and spells.
"The altar of this spirit master is really useful. If I was martial cultivating, I would need to be at the Xiantian level to feel such spiritual connections. To truly use them for my own, I would need to be at the Xiantian Ancestor Realm."
Using this thing that could solely be used by spirit masters for the first time, Zong Shou was filled with many thoughts. However, when his soul connected with the spiritual pulses from the Yin and Yang eyes, his mind was totally clear and free.
The huge amount of spiritual energy from Qi Xiao mixed with the spiritual pulse from the ground. It immediately formed a chilling aura that made it hard to breathe around this small dense forest.
The silver octopus beast and the sparrow hawk who were wrapped up with one another instantly stopped. They actually didn't dare to move under the might and suppression of this aura.
Zong Shou formed another hand seal and stretched his hand as he called out, "Little fellow, you still are not coming over?"
The silver octopus beast first showed resistance, its body contracting backwards. However, a really strong contract strength exploded out from within its body.
It could only helplessly retract its hands, its entire body becoming a ball before it unwillingly rolled over.
Zong Shou smiled. Actually when spirit masters recruited Protector Spirit Beasts, it was best done when they were at a sealed state, so they couldn't reject.
However, since he dared to let out this quicksilver beast king out, he was naturally confident about it. During these three months time, he was basically feeding it his blood every day, and he didn't do that for no reason.
Each drop of blood helped to strengthen his control of the spirit beast!
That Grade Two sparrow hawk, without the silver hands restraining it, started to flap its wings loudly and escape into the sky.
Zong Shou scoffed coldly, throwing the black can that belonged to Qi Xiao at it.
Just as this sparrow hawk flew a hundred feet up, many black lines exploded out and locked onto its body, dragging and pulling it into the small can. Without needing Zong Shou to do anything, the can automatically shut itself.
The Protector Spirit Beast and the spirit master was connected spiritually as one. Once the spirit master died, the Protector Spirit Beast would be badly hurt.
Although this Sparrow Hawk King was Grade Two, he could easily tame it without using any effort.
Just at that moment, the silver octopus beast arrived in front of the altar.
Zong Shou's expression focused. He took out a brush and dipped it in special spirit ink, drawing a formation on the skin of this octopus beast.
This Protector Spirit Beast Accepting Ceremony would have some influence on the Protector Spirit Beast in the future, too.
Normally when one subdued spirit beasts, the stronger the spiritual energy displayed, the more loyal the spirit beast would be.
Although he didn't reach the proper Realm yet, his soul was really pure. The soul energy and essence energy that he absorbed from Xiao Qi was totally controlled and usable. The blood that he had fed the beast in advance for three months had a miraculous effect, and was enough to subdue this octopus beast.
Next would be the talisman formation to subdue the Protector Spirit Beast. The more perfect it was, the lesser the restrictions the spirit beast would face in the future. Some special talismans could also help to quicken the evolution of the Protector Spirit Beast.
In such an era, there still wasn't such a concept. However, a few thousand years in the future some bored spirit masters would do some specific experiments.
What was really coincidental was that as a small manager of the national library, he had came into contact with several of those talismans.
That silver octopus beast was really badly behaved, struggling and twisting its body. When he had completed about a fourth of the talisman, who knew whether it knew that this talisman was good for it, but it gave out a comfortable expression and allowed Zong Shou to draw whatever he wanted to on it.
When he completed it, the entire talisman slowly dulled. This spirit ink made of Zong Shou's blood, cinnabar, spirit stone dust, and also thousand-year black grass juice would slowly seep into the spirit beast's skin, and even into its beast crystal.
Only then would it be considered a true Protector Spirit Beast!
