At the foot of Lingyun Peak, scattered around are quite a few low, blue-tiled houses.
Ye Jingcheng's room is located within these houses.
He pushed open the door; there wasn't much furniture inside the room.
An empty stone table, two wooden shelves filled with herbs and ancient books, and a wooden bed, leaving nothing else.
The only good thing might be that the entire room was very tidy and refreshing, spotless.
Ye Jingcheng sat upright on the stool, placing the Jade Ring Rat to the side and carefully putting the Red Flame Fox onto the stone table.
At this moment, he had already infused a considerable amount of spiritual light from the yellow-covered ancient book into the Red Flame Fox.
The wound on the Red Flame Fox was still black and dry.
But its blue-violet eyes were noticeably brighter.
Its chirping was also crisper, no longer weak and dying as before!
Ye Jingcheng dared not stop, continuing to infuse the spiritual light from the ancient book.
Under his observation, the Red Flame Fox's fur grew ever brighter, exuding an extremely warm body temperature, like a burning fire furnace.
And the dry, blackened wound began to gradually fade, returning to its original color.
"There's hope!" Ye Jingcheng's eyes grew brighter and brighter!
The special spiritual light of this mysterious ancient book could indeed heal demon beasts.
However, he still wasn't sure what the transforming Nine-tailed Demon Fox page was for just now.
He could only continue treating the Red Flame Fox!
The Red Flame Fox consumed a great deal of spiritual light, and after a quarter-hour, the spiritual light was completely consumed.
It returned entirely to its previously dim form.
"Sizzle!" The Red Flame Fox began licking Ye Jingcheng's arm.
Its small tongue swept over repeatedly, bringing waves of itchy warmth.
It was mostly healed; only a small scar was visible on the Red Flame Fox's front leg.
Miraculous!
Ye Jingcheng's heart pounded; with the book's miracles, it meant that as long as his spiritual light was abundant in the future, he wouldn't need to worry about demon beast injuries!
The Red Flame Fox's calls were even more melodious; it moved to the edge of the table near Ye Jingcheng's chest and then lazily lay down.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jingcheng quickly performed the Blood Contract, pressing his finger, biting and bleeding, beginning to draw the spirit pattern technique.
Though it was his first time performing the Blood Contract, he had practiced countless times in the Beast Taming Clan since childhood, so it was not unfamiliar at all.
However, as blood fell onto the Red Flame Fox's brow.
The first page of the ancient book, as if lit, became extremely dazzling.
The Spirit Fox on it began to appear extraordinarily clear.
This Spirit Fox breathed fierce flames, incomparably formidable, and continued to evolve.
Soon it transformed into a Two-tailed Red Fox, more majestic now, arching its back, raising its head, glaring angrily, and its two tails swung incessantly behind it.
Furthermore, countless spirit grasses and spirit leaves appeared.
"Heartless Flower, Red Ginseng, Falling Flame Grass, Red Dragon Fruit..."
Ye Jingcheng murmured the names of the herbs one by one. Due to his learning of Alchemy Skill, he was well-acquainted with most spirit medicine, but there were still some he wasn't familiar with.
However, according to the images, it seemed that if these spirit medicines were used to refine liquid medicine or pills for the Red Flame Fox, consuming it would allow it to evolve into a Two-tailed form.
These spirit medicines are all Fire Attribute Spiritual Medicine, with some being extremely precious.
Ye Jingcheng himself was an Alchemy Master, and he understood that although this liquid medicine was extraordinary, its feasibility was considerable.
However, compared to the preciousness of the spirit medicine, what moved him even more was that an ordinary Red Flame Fox could grow to the late stage of Tier two; what then was the future for a Two-tailed Red Flame Fox?
Especially considering the Nine-tailed at the beginning of the book page...
Ye Jingcheng's eyes became even brighter.
"Sizzle!"
The Red Flame Fox continued to call out, and at this moment, Ye Jingcheng understood the Red Flame Fox's meaning.
It was hungry.
It wanted to eat!
But Ye Jingcheng hesitated because the Blood Contract with the Red Flame Fox seemed different from what he understood.
It felt like this kind of contract was completed through the ancient book.
Ye Jingcheng took out a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pill, poured out two pills, and gave them to the Red Flame Fox.
The Red Flame Fox sniffed for a moment, relishing the Spirit Fragrance of the pills, then joyfully chirped and licked both Spirit Nourishing Pills into its mouth, swallowing them all without leaving any.
Its fur began to glow with a red light, appearing like a wave of fire, exceptionally beautiful.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng had no mood to watch. He looked at the Jade Ring Rat beside him, wanting to test it.
Whether the Jade Ring Rat could be pulled into the book pages by the ancient book.
The Jade Ring Rat chirped, seemingly having seen Ye Jingcheng feeding, wanting to eat spirit pills.
But its intelligence was far less than the Red Flame Fox.
Ye Jingcheng was not annoyed. Instead, he extended a finger and continued to perform the Blood Contract.
He still carved the spirit pattern, and this time, he inscribed it slower.
He needed to grasp the details to judge the capabilities of the Spirit Book.
Soon, blood fell onto the Jade Ring Rat's brow.
The Blood Contract formed, and that different feeling appeared, but the Spirit Book did not undergo any changes, nor any spirit medicine spirit shadows.
Unconvinced, he channeled the last bit of spiritual light to the Jade Ring Rat.
The Jade Ring Rat squeaked louder as if enjoying itself greatly.
But still, there was no change in the Spirit Book.
After researching for a while, Ye Jingcheng summarized a few points.
First, ordinary Spirit Beasts were clearly not considered by the mysterious ancient book.
Second, the mysterious ancient book's spiritual light can heal injuries, even improving physique, and for some extraordinary demon beasts, it could also provide growth or evolution pill formulas or liquid medicine!
Third, the Blood Contract of the mysterious ancient book is more domineering!
Ye Jingcheng studied the functions of the mysterious ancient book, and his emotions surged for a long time.
But then he began to frown, as his 400 Contribution Points, which he exchanged for some Spirit Beast meat and Spirit Tempering Pills necessary for his cultivation, now left him with less than 120 Contribution Points.
Now he also needs to support two Spirit Beasts, with unprecedented pressure.
He finally experienced firsthand why the Ye Family, a grand Foundation Establishment Clan, was also notorious for financial problems in the Taihang Mountain area.
The name of the Beast Taming Clan, while grand, also meant greater resource consumption.
And laid before him were two paths: to follow the family's Demon Hunting Team for demon hunting, or to enter the family's market shops to continue alchemy.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the Red Flame Fox, which, when grown slightly larger, could spit fierce flames akin to Earth Fire, which could completely serve as alchemy flames.
At that time, he might be able to save some rental costs and earn more Spirit Stones and Contribution Points.
