Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Lu Zaian smiled upon hearing this.

Well, now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like an equal contract. It feels more like we're treating each other like royalty.

However, as long as he can share its talent and understanding of the laws, it's still a win for Lu Zaian.

"And the second point?"

"Secondly, under the equal contract, you can share its cultivation talent and understanding of laws."

Similarly, it can also share a portion of your life force.

I observe that your bone age is already advanced, but because you are also focusing on body cultivation, your life force is at this level.

Once you combine the little guy's talents, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage won't be a problem.

The key point is that the higher one's cultivation level, the more important life force becomes to the cultivator.

Why does the cultivation world always emphasize that the younger one is, the easier it is to break through barriers?

That's because the younger you are, the stronger your vitality is, like billowing smoke, which is itself an excellent power to break through realms.

"If you share this part of your life force, it may cause your already weak life force to weaken even further, thus exhausting your potential and making it even more difficult to break through..."

Such spiritual beings are best paired with young, vigorous, and exceptionally talented individuals.

When combined, the two can produce even more amazing results...

However, Lu Zaian was secretly delighted after hearing these remarks.

That's it?

Even a remnant soul cannot see through one's own immortal body.

Therefore, the remnant soul believed that even when he was also focusing on body refinement, his vitality was still relatively weak...

Little did they know that the true source of their confidence lay in the ever-renewing vitality of the Longevity Body.

Bone age?

That thing had long since lost all meaning for me.

Whether I am seventy, one hundred, five hundred, or one thousand years old, it has no impact on me...

With the blessing of the Longevity Body, Lu Zaian's life force is like a blazing furnace, inexhaustible for eternity!

What harm is there in giving this little guy a mere fraction of your life force?

On the contrary, Lu Zaian is the one who truly benefits greatly from sharing cultivation speed and law comprehension comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Thinking of this, Lu Zaian remained outwardly calm, bowed, and replied:

"Senior, I've made up my mind. I'll form an equal contract with this little guy!"

"Are you sure? Good, it's better for you no matter what, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks..."

Seeing that Lu Zaian had made his decision, the remnant soul said no more.

He bent his arm and pointed, and the essence of water in the icy pool slowly rose, shimmering with a brilliant light as it floated toward Lu Zai'an.

"Eee-ooh-ee-ooh!"

The little creature babbles and coos; the essence of water is its source, and every move it makes affects its mind.

Although it had foreseen its fate, it still resisted somewhat.

"Little guy, don't worry. The Equal Contract won't harm you. On the contrary, if you go out and get captured by other cultivators, you might be completely refined."

The remnant soul steadied the little guy with one hand and comforted him.

Such spiritual objects, if left out in the open, would definitely cause a frenzy among Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators to try and refine them, and the consequences would only be far worse...

"Ee-woo~"

The little guy was still sullen, but he knew he had no other choice at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, the remnant soul waved its hand and drew out a trace of the little guy's primordial power from the water essence crystal.

A glimmer of spiritual light shimmered in mid-air as the remnant soul's fingers moved rapidly, instantly sketching an ancient and mysterious rune.

"Quickly, take one-tenth of your essence blood!" The remnant soul shouted softly at Lu Zaian.

Essence blood is the condensation of a cultivator's life essence!

For cultivators, losing more than 30% of their essence and blood will affect their cultivation, shake their origin, damage their foundation, and make it difficult to make any further progress in the future.

Demonic cultivators like those from the Burning Blood Sect extract the life essence from the blood of cultivators and demonic beasts to rapidly develop their demonic powers.

Under normal circumstances, no cultivator would easily allow their essence and blood to be lost.

Unless faced with a life-or-death crisis, one must resort to self-harm to unleash their potential in order to save their life.

Of course, that applies to ordinary cultivators.

Lu Zaian does not fall into this category.

Lu Zaian circulated his life essence and spat out a mouthful of blood essence!

Strangely, the essence blood that originally contained immense vitality within Lu Zaian's body instantly turned dull after leaving his body.

The semen changed from bright red to dark red.

It was as if the vibrant life force contained within it had almost vanished by 90% in an instant.

Lu Zaian understood that this was the self-protection mechanism of the Longevity Dao Body.

This was to prevent others from noticing Lu Zaian's abnormal vitality through his blood...

However, what the remnant soul sees is a completely different scene.

He sighed inwardly that Lu Zaian was too old, and the vitality in his blood essence was not as good as that of a young cultivator.

But right now, there's no better option; he can't wait for the next destined person...

The remnant soul gathered its thoughts, drew upon Lu Zaian's essence blood, and similarly sketched an ancient and mysterious rune in mid-air.

The next moment, the two runes intertwined and merged together, radiating a dazzling light!

Lu Zaian's heart tightened as he sensed a close and wondrous connection forming between himself and the little one.

It's as if an invisible thread forms a bond, detached from one's own body, yet seemingly an integral part of it.

The rune's radiance dissipated in mid-air, transforming into a deep blue symbol resembling flowing water, which instantly burrowed into Lu Zai'an's kidney!

Lu Zaian closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to examine his body. He discovered a deep blue symbol on his waist and abdomen, resembling a tattoo.

The kidneys are responsible for water metabolism.

Looking deeper, Lu Zaian discovered that a space resembling another dimension had opened up within his right kidney!

A single drop of water essence crystallizes and floats silently in this space, emitting a chilling vapor...

However, this chilling aura did not affect Lu Zaian; on the contrary, it made him feel extremely comfortable.

"The contract is complete. From now on, this little guy will be one with you. He can retreat into this dimension to recuperate whenever he wants."

The remnant soul made a sound, almost at the same time.

A cool sensation flashed through Lu Zaian's mind, and in an instant, countless wonderful ideas surged forth like a spring!

Previously, Lu Zaian couldn't understand some array calculations, cultivation techniques, and other problems, but he instantly figured them out and solved them easily!

Even memories stored deep in the mind were unearthed.

All the people and things I had encountered before were given a deeper impression.

Lu Zaian could even recall the size and appearance of every fish he had caught during his fifty-year career as a fisherman!

Meanwhile, Xiao Fenlin's memories from Lingyao Valley were also unearthed.

The alchemy knowledge that he hadn't had time to study further was also forcibly reviewed in his mind, completely transforming into Lu Zaian's own understanding and memory.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Zaian's brain capacity and CPU seemed to have undergone several major upgrades!

If he wanted, he could even multitask, cultivating his techniques while simultaneously calculating formations—a true example of multi-core processing…
