Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 77 Still sleeping?! I'm here to take you in!

The Five Elements Binding Spirit Lock is an ancient spirit-binding technique. Cultivators extract the essence of the five elements and integrate it with their own blood and magic power to condense the Five Elements Binding Spirit Lock, which is then imprinted into the soul of a spirit beast to form a contract.

This method is similar to the Beast Taming Sect's God Control Array, but it will continuously consume the cultivator's essence and mana, requiring the cultivator to constantly replenish them.

With this contract method, cultivators cannot let their spirit beasts leave their side for too long, otherwise there is a risk of them escaping or even turning against them.

The Blood Talisman Contract is the simplest of the three methods of spirit contracting, but it also has the weakest control.

The cultivator used his own blood essence to draw a blood talisman, and with the help of the spirit beast, he imprinted the blood talisman on the surface of the spirit beast's soul, forming a contract.

Because the blood talisman cannot penetrate the depths of a spirit beast's soul, the contract formed is not stable, and the death of a cultivator has little impact on the spirit beast.

Tu Yuanfeng used this method to subdue the Spirit-Sniffing Rats.

This method is also suitable for subduing weak spirit beasts that mainly play a supporting role.

It is low-cost and quick to produce results, but the level of contractual obligation may be relatively shallow.

Chen Qian planned to use this method.

He discovered that, with the assistance of the Gray Pearl World, he was able to completely fuse the blood talisman into the soul of the spirit beast, forming a contract even tighter than the God Control Array.

After more than a month of continuous research, Chen Qian has mastered the Blood Talisman of Qiling to an extremely high level.

In the future, as long as he can bring the monsters into the Gray Pearl World, he can easily complete the contract.

There is currently a suitable initial spirit bond subject, which is the spirit-sniffing rat left behind by Tu Yuanfeng.

The world of gray beads.

Chen Qian once again caught the large white rat that was leisurely sleeping in the hilly area.

A few slaps woke it up from its daze.

"Squeak—squeak!"

The sniffing rat was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing it could do.

The beast is under the eaves and has to bow its head.

Chen Qian placed it on the ground and kneaded it from bottom to top with his hands, turning it from a lying position to an upright position.

"Stand at attention! Stand at attention!"

The sniffing rat yawned, wondering what had gotten into this two-legged creature.

His body, which had been straightened, began to sag again, and he wanted to lie down again.

Seeing its obsequious behavior, Chen Qian was immediately furious.

Extend a finger and tap it repeatedly on its round nose.

"Still sleeping?! I'm here to get you—!"

Without further hesitation, he formed a sword-like finger with his hand, forced out a few drops of essence blood from his fingertip, and drew a Spirit Blood Talisman in the air.

The blood talisman condensed into a six-pointed star array in the void, seemingly containing the characteristics of life. Its slight expansion and contraction resembled the breaths of a giant beast.

The Spirit-Sniffing Rat was fully awake. It had experienced this scene before, and Tu Yuanfeng had also made a contract with it in the same way.

However, the power of the blood talisman condensed by Chen Qian, who was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, was obviously far inferior to that of Tu Yuanfeng, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Spirit-Sniffing Rat. With your level of cultivation, you wouldn't be able to order me around if it weren't for my cooperation!

"Humph!"

Despite thinking this, it still released its spiritual defenses, allowing the blood talisman in the air to condense into a point of red light and strike its brow.

It knows it can't resist, and that only by cooperating can it survive better.

First-tier demonic beasts are generally unintelligent, possessing only the basic survival instincts of wild animals. However, special species like the Spirit-Sniffing Rat, which are small in size and weak in combat, often possess certain special abilities and are much more intelligent than demonic beasts of the same tier.

Although their intelligence is far inferior to that of adults, they still possess the intelligence of a four- or five-year-old human child.

As soon as the red light entered the Spirit-Sniffing Rat's brow and sea of ​​consciousness, it quickly adhered to its soul.

The normal blood talisman contract process is basically completed at this point. The six-pointed star array formed by the blood talisman will gradually disappear and merge on the surface of the spirit beast's soul, thus lying dormant. The spirit beast and its master will then form a contractual connection.

But being in the Gray Pearl world is clearly not that simple.

At this moment, on the rule platform of the central stone mountain of the world, the light and shadow lines representing the Great Dao of Rules also emitted a gray light.

Ignoring all limitations of space and time, the gray light arrived at the core of the Spirit-Sniffing Rat's consciousness the moment it was emitted.

It quickly merged with the blood talisman, and the blood talisman immediately shone brightly red, rapidly melting into the depths of the Spirit-Sniffing Rat's soul.

The white rat rolled its eyes and immediately fainted.

Its little brain couldn't understand why this contract was so different.

Chen Qian also closed his eyes tightly, carefully sensing his first experience of contracting a spirit beast.

The illusory soul in his sea of ​​consciousness had its eyes closed, and it could clearly sense another soul that was much weaker than its own.

With a thought, the sniffing rat lying face up in front of Chen Qian slowly woke up.

As soon as the white rat woke up, it immediately sensed the difference in itself. Its soul had grown considerably, and the primordial bloodline deep within its body was stirring, as if it could soon advance to the top level of the first tier.

Only then did it realize that Chen Qian was staring intently at it.

Chen Qian was no different from before, but in the eyes of the white rat, he seemed to be a completely different person.

It felt from the bottom of its heart that the person in front of it was very kind, the master it respected and would follow to the death.

It squeaked and quickly jumped into Chen Qian's arms, clinging tightly to his clothes.

Chen Qian smiled as he held the large white rat in his arms, gently stroking its soft, smooth fur with both hands.

The white rat also showed an anthropomorphic expression, feeling comfortable and peaceful, and enjoying itself immensely.

Through the connection between their souls, Chen Qian could clearly perceive all of its thoughts and feelings, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the domineering nature of the rules of the Gray Pearl World, which had completely changed the spirit beast's perception.

The white rat, however, did not sense anything amiss. It had not been particularly close to its owner before, simply because a contractual relationship had not been established between them.

Now that the contract has been formed, isn't it normal to be closer?
Once the spirit was complete, Chen Qian didn't linger with the white rat. He grabbed the fur on the back of its neck and tossed it aside, ignoring its resentful gaze.

We can take it out later. My two little wives should like this cute spirit beast, right?
Before leaving, he wanted to practice his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping underground) technique more here.

Chen Qian hadn't taken the Earth Escape Technique too seriously, after all, it was only a first-tier spell.

However, after studying it for some time, I have come to realize that this spell is truly profound and infinitely varied.

He had been practicing for over a month, but he felt he was still at the beginner level. With his magical power and understanding of magic, he could only burrow about four or five feet underground, and his speed was extremely slow, about the same as a mortal walking.

It is said that a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining who has mastered the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping underground) can burrow twenty feet underground at a speed similar to that of an ordinary person running.

So the gap is quite large.

But the potential of this spell goes far beyond that.

He consulted a lot of relevant materials borrowed from the library and, with the help of exploring the Gray Pearl World, discovered that the spiritual patterns of the Earth Escape Technique were extraordinary.

The spell's runes can be magnified infinitely, and countless tiny veins can emerge from the edges of the runes.

These derived pathways clearly exceed the scope of first-order spells and are not something that Qi Refining stage cultivators can grasp or explore.
