Longevity with a Turtle

Chapter 106: Chapter 97: Spirit Pet Fur Ball

”But I feel like eating it would increase my cultivation.”

”That’s just an illusion, much like you feeling it was a late-stage Tier One spirit beast.”

”Two-legged beast, I feel like you’re lying to me.” Little Black stared at Chen Jianghe with his wise little eyes. ”I’m already an adult. Don’t think you can keep fooling me.”

”Your future cultivation resources will be doubled.”

”Deal.” Little Black grinned widely. Raising a claw, he spat out a surge of magical power to bind the mountain furred beast. ”If you ever dare to trick me again, I’ll swallow you in one bite,” Little Black threatened fiercely, holding the mountain furred beast up to his eyes.

”SQUEAK, SQUEAK~”

”Divine techniques won’t work either. In the future, stow your divine techniques away when you’re in front of Lord Turtle.” Little Black slapped his claw over the mountain furred beast’s head.

”Little Black, what divine technique?” Chen Jianghe asked.

”The aura it gives off is late-stage Tier One, but that’s actually its divine technique. It can elevate its aura by a small realm,” Little Black explained, looking at the mountain furred beast with a mocking gaze. ”What a trash divine technique.”

”An aura that can be elevated by a small realm?” Chen Jianghe’s face lit up with joy. He actually thought the divine technique was quite impressive, and he couldn’t help but carefully observe the mountain furred beast.

Under Little Black’s torment, the beast looked at Chen Jianghe with large, aggrieved eyes. A patch of fur was missing from its back, and its leg had been pierced by a water arrow. However, Chen Jianghe didn’t have any healing spirit liquid or spirit pills on hand, so he could only let the mountain furred beast endure the pain for now.

”A third-grade lower-class bloodline. Upon reaching adulthood, it naturally becomes a late-stage Tier One. Even without a Tier Two spirit core, it has a fifty percent chance of breaking through to become a Tier Two spirit beast,” he muttered. ”I wonder if I can contract it.”

Chen Jianghe looked at the high-level spirit beast circle on his wrist. It was useless for binding Little Black, only serving as a spirit beast space for him to stay in. Moreover, the high-level spirit beast circle itself could contract three spirit beasts, and the spirit beast space within it could also accommodate three. However, the high-level spirit beast circle he had bought was Tier One. If he wanted to store Tier Two spirit beasts, he would need to purchase a Tier Two spirit beast circle.

”Drip a drop of essence blood onto this circle, and do not resist the power of the spirit contract,” Chen Jianghe ordered with a wave of his hand. The spirit beast circle flew in front of the mountain furred beast, emitting streaks of cyan light.

The mountain furred beast possessed high spiritual wisdom and clearly knew the function of the spirit beast circle. Once the contract was signed, it would become someone else’s spirit pet. It kicked its legs against Little Black’s claws and shook its head repeatedly.

BAM!

Little Black slapped his claw over the mountain furred beast’s head. Instantly, the beast’s panicked eyes turned lucid, and it obediently squeezed out a drop of essence blood onto the spirit beast circle.

The spirit beast circle flashed with flowing light. Chen Jianghe established a special connection with the mountain furred beast, and immediately after, he heard a voice.

”Master.”

It was a message conveyed by the mountain furred beast. However, unlike Little Black’s telepathic transmissions, the mountain furred beast could only use the spirit beast circle to express its words simply. Little Black communicated directly with Chen Jianghe via telepathy, completely without hindrance.

Most importantly, he could directly control the mountain furred beast’s life and death through the spirit beast circle. In other words, the moment the contract was formed, the mountain furred beast had become his spirit pet—his slave. It would be entirely incapable of resisting or showing disrespect toward him.

This type of contract was completely different from a spirit platform mark. Little Black had a very high degree of autonomy; he would call him master when he felt like it, but whenever he got angry, he would blurt out ”two-legged beast.”

”How did you escape the chaotic foundation establishment battle?” Chen Jianghe conveyed his question through the spirit beast circle.

Such communication was quite troublesome. The mountain furred beast recounted how it escaped the chaotic battle, what it had been doing recently, and how it arrived at this place, telling it all to Chen Jianghe through the spirit beast circle. It just wasn’t very articulate. The so-called telepathic communication derived from the spirit beast circle’s contract clearly had significant flaws.

Nevertheless, Chen Jianghe managed to parse together the general gist of the story.

The foundation establishment cultivator from the Western Border hadn’t contracted the mountain furred beast, meaning they couldn’t store it in a spirit beast space and had to carry it around. It was likely bought for a younger generation in their family. Then, above the Xingyue River, the Western Border cultivator was intercepted by six foundation establishment cultivators from the Eastern Territory. Later on, the Western Border cultivator received backup when three more foundation establishment cultivators arrived to assist, and they seemed to be late-stage foundation establishment cultivators.

This explained why the foundation establishment ancestor of the Bai family had fallen.

However, the Eastern Territory’s side also had late-stage foundation establishment cultivators from the Lu family, resulting in the death of one of the Western Border’s foundation establishment cultivators. It was amidst this chaotic skirmish that the mountain furred beast managed to escape by a stroke of luck.

Afterward, it began fleeing along the Xingyue River, eventually reaching a boundless great river. The current was extremely rapid and even formed violent gang winds. To make matters worse, there were auras within this great river that terrified the beast.

Therefore, the mountain furred beast turned back, continued hiding and fleeing along the Xingyue River, slipped out of the Jingyue Lake territory, and entered the Youxian River. It then ran into a tributary, arriving at this canyon mountain range. And then, the current scene had unfolded.

Chen Jianghe could say with certainty that the boundless great river the mountain furred beast had encountered was none other than the Tongtian River. According to the Yun Family Magazine, the widest section of the 70,000-mile-long Tongtian River’s main stream spanned 800 miles across. Tier Three demon beasts were known to roam its waters.

”You’re small and fuzzy, so I’ll call you Fur Ball from now on. Return to the spirit beast space for now. Once we reach the marketplace, I’ll buy some healing spirit liquid for you.”

Chen Jianghe placed Fur Ball into the spirit beast space.

Primate spirit beasts like this one possessed little to no combat prowess during their early-stage and mid-stage Tier One phases. It was only after reaching adulthood that they would gradually develop fighting capabilities. A fully grown mountain furred beast could reach roughly ten feet in height.
