"It"s Lurensity flowers, huh?" Shen Tianyu said in a slightly dejected tone . She specialized in poison and antidotes . Lurensity flower was a wholly(1) medicinal herb so, she had nothing to do with it . She couldn"t make pills, though she could concoct medicine, but pills were more effective and also included less impurities . Medicine and pills that were used for injuries or the increase of one"s power were the specialty of the Doctors and Pill Masters of this world, like Luo Shue .
"Hm? You don"t want them?" Rong Jian asked her .
"I do not have a direct use for them, but they will be a good gift for Luo Shue from our expedition . " She replied . Though she had no direct use for Lurensity flowers, they were uncommon medicinal herbs with plenty of uses . They only grew and could only be found in snow lands with a lot of spiritual power in the earth .
She walked up to the white wolf standing in the middle of the big cave . "There"s something else here isn"t there? Something that created this cold environment . Lurensity flowers are not known to create a cold environment . "
The white wolf pawed at where he was standing and Shen Tianyu kneeled down to take a closer look beneath the ice . When she saw it, her eyes widened . "This is . . . an ice crystal?! Looking at it"s size, it should be a Thousand Year Ice Crystal!"
The ice crystal actually wasn"t that big in size . It was as big as a single pearl . However, for elemental rarities such as this, that was already quite a big size . The ice crystals grow in cold environments and become a compressed form of the spiritual power in it"s surroundings . Many cultivators have soaked their hands in blood just to try to get closer to obtaining an ice crystal of only a few hundred years . A Thousand Year Ice Crystal like this one would certainly have the whole cultivation world going to war over it .
"I see . . . no wonder . . . " Shen Tianyu"s eyes shone . She looked up at the white wolf and said to it . "If I could get my hands on this, I will certainly be able to break through . "
The white wolf hesitated . Even if it could fight her off, he wouldn"t be able to fight off the man that came with her . Besides, he took her here and showed it to her because he had a good impression of her . She also told him to the face directly what she wanted to do with it instead of scheming to take it like the other humans would . Not to mention, though he guarded it, he did not have much use for it . Demonic beasts could grow with either dark energy or spiritual power, which is one of the reasons they can become strong in such a short time compared to humans so that was not a problem . The problem lies in that he couldn"t get to the ice crystal . Perhaps it was a self-defense mechanism of it, the ice around the ice crystal was especially strong and thick .
Seeing it"s hesitation, Shen Tianyu thought it didn"t trust her, which was more or less justified seeing as he wasn"t favorable to humans . "Do you want to become my contract beast? This way, you can also gain the benefits of the Thousand Year Ice Crystal . I also have more stuffs back home that could raise your power . "
Hearing her offer, the white wolf sat down on it"s hind legs, remembering the look in her eyes when he woke up and saw her stroking it"s fur . This human girl really left a good impression on it . She healed it after injuring it and stayed with it until it woke up even though it had attacked first . There was only contentedness and happiness when he saw her eyes . Though the white wolf certainly did not have a favorable impression of humans, it also wasn"t unreasonable . It felt she was different from all the other humans and would make a good Master . He has been alone for so long, having only corpses and, occasionally, stupid humans as companions . Perhaps, now that he has found someone suitable, his loneliness is also speaking up .
Shen Tianyu patiently waited for it"s answer . Honestly speaking, aside from those she loved, she preferred animals and demonic beasts to humans . In her opinion, humans were the most evil, always scheming, always being stupidly arrogant, always being pretentious . She preferred the straightforward animals and demonic beasts to humans . If the Snow Wolf didn"t want to become her contract beast and didn"t let her take the Ice Crystal, she could only leave with some Lurensity flowers . But she still held a faint hope it would agree to follow her . After all, it wasn"t everyday one could encounter such an agreeable and fluffy demonic beast .
When the Snow Wolf slowly nodded, She Tianyu almost leapt up with joy . A smile blossomed on her face . "Then let"s make a contract now . Rong Jian, how do you contract a demonic beast?" She turned to ask Rong Jian who had stood at the entrance of the cave the whole time .
"Put your hand on it"s head and send a sliver of your spiritual power along with your consciousness into it"s soul . since he agrees to be your contract beast, it should be smooth . Your spiritual power will settle in it"s soul, establis.h.i.+ng a Master and Servant contract . With this contract, the Snow Wolf"s cultivation will be independent from yours but you can help it power up when we get back . In the first place, one isn"t able to connect one"s own cultivation with that of anyone else, beast or human . " Rong Jian instructed then proceeded to lecture her .
"Sorry, but I"ll definitely help you become stronger . " Shen Tianyu ignored the rest of Rong Jian"s words and apologized to the Snow Wolf then promised to raise it"s power . She rested her hand on it"s head and took out a little bit of her spiritual power, trying to merge it with a small part of her consciousness . Though the process is only a few words, it was actually not easy to do . Now she somewhat understood why people paraded their spiritual beasts around, it showed that they had good talent and control over their spiritual power .
