Chapter 17: The Magic Contract Becomes a Spiritual Pet Called a Demon

Seeing that the snake tail was no longer struggling so violently, Wu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The most worrying thing about signing a legal contract is that the other party will not cooperate, especially this kind of obviously unequal treaty.

Seeing the legal contract merge with the snake tail little by little, Wu Yi's tense spirit also relaxed little by little.

But just when Wu Yi thought that the matter was over, something unexpected happened. The snake tail, which had been obedient, suddenly trembled violently, rushing left and right, knocking Wu Yi's blood and blood rolling, and almost broke through Wu Yi's control.

"You come to ruin my good things again. When I cultivate the art of raising ghosts, I will definitely take you first." The snake tail suddenly changed. How could Wu Yi not know that it was the ghost with a human head and a snake body who was causing trouble and secretly controlling it. He was very angry, but Wu Yi also understood that this was not the time to show off his power verbally, so he was busy splitting his attention and trying his best to suppress it.

On the one hand, he controlled the perfect integration of the magic contract and the snake's tail. This was the most important thing. Even if there was a slight intolerance, it might become the cause of the snake's tail devouring the master in the future, because this slight difference represented the beyond of control. On the other hand, Wu Yi had to suppress the resistance of the snake's tail. Even a night of fighting with the ghost was not so tiring.

Seeing that the resistance of the snake's tail was getting more and more intense, Wu Yi even felt a trace of blood in his mouth, and a fierce look flashed across Wu Yi's eyes.

Taking out a piece of soul-soothing incense, Wu Yi used his luck to start a fire. This soul-soothing incense was made of a hundred-year-old agarwood. It was as hard as gold and stone and extremely difficult to ignite. Wu Yi had to increase the output of spiritual energy to make the flame more vigorous.

Now Wu Yi was considered to be using three places of God. After a while, he was sweating profusely, his face became extremely pale, but the more this time, it aroused Wu Yi's unyielding fighting spirit. He gritted his teeth and insisted on going on even if his mind was seriously damaged.

The snake's tail crashed around but failed to rush out. Perhaps it understood its fate, or perhaps it was forced by the master behind it. The snake's tail suddenly swelled up, and the black and gray Yin Qi gradually faded, with signs of dissipating in the void.

"Too late." Wu Yi saw the smoke rising slowly from the soul-soothing incense, smiled triumphantly, wiped the sweat from his head, and finally completed it.

The snake's tail became confused after being hit by the smoke of the soul-soothing incense, and the original self-disintegration process slowed down and the Yin Qi was re-condensed.

The soul-soothing incense began to work, and the snake's tail lost its ability to perceive the outside world, including the induction between the master hiding somewhere and the snake's tail was also cut off.

Not daring to neglect such a good opportunity, Wu Yi seized the time and promoted the fusion of the law contract and the snake's tail as soon as possible. Without the resistance of the snake's tail itself, plus the previous progress, it was like a natural outcome for a while. After dozens of breaths, the law contract was successfully and perfectly fused with the snake's tail.

As soon as the contract was completed, Wu Yi's body shook, as if there was a mark engraved in his heart. Every move of the snake tail in front of him was reflected in his heart at this moment. This was the effect of the contract.

Wu Yi could even feel the confused emotions of the snake tail. Wu Yi tried to contact this emotion with his mind. Just like a whirlpool, Wu Yi's mind was immediately drawn into a wonderful place.

This was a gray place with no living creatures. Wu Yi had guesses in his heart when he entered this place inexplicably. Following the guidance of his heart, Wu Yi approached little by little.

After seeing the snake tail from a distance, Wu Yi understood that this should be the spiritual world of the snake tail.

Since signing the contract with the snake tail, the snake tail has been an independent creature, no longer existing as a part. Now is a good time to build the main consciousness of the snake tail.

The current snake tail is like a newborn baby, ignorant, and it is the best time to instill the three views, especially the fundamental content such as the master's orders must not be disobeyed.

The snake's tail was floating aimlessly in the gray sky. Wu Yi rushed forward and blocked the snake's tail's way.

The snake's tail had no intention of competing with Wu Yi. It changed direction and wanted to continue moving forward, but Wu Yi blocked it again. After doing so again and again, the simple snake's tail also clearly exuded a sense of dissatisfaction.

Wu Yi responded: "Why, have you even forgotten your own master?" He said, stimulating the law in his heart to suppress the snake's tail.

The snake's tail may not realize that Wu Yi would suddenly attack, and fell straight to the ground without any defense. Wu Yi landed in front of it and said coldly: "Do you remember now?"

The snake's tail shook its body and coiled up, as if thinking, but it didn't take long before it took the initiative to swim to Wu Yi's feet, showing goodwill, submission, and closeness.

Looking at the half-body of the snake tail, Wu Yi was more and more dissatisfied. Although for ghosts, the body shape is all illusion and there is no need to worry too much, Wu Yi still declined those really shocking body shapes.

He sent a normal snake shape over, and the snake tail paused for a while, probably thinking, and its body shape twisted and changed constantly. After a cup of tea, a snake head grew out of the broken end of the snake tail, spitting out snake tongues, sizzling, and looked like a real snake from a distance.

Wu Yi said again: "You are a ghost, gathering and dispersing impermanently, with a snake shape as an image, changing in many ways, which cost me a lot, so let's call it a monster."

Monster didn't know what his name meant, but since the master gave it to him, he called it that, coiled around Wu Yi's ankle, and agreed.

Wu Yi nodded, his mind temporarily withdrew, collected the soul-calming incense, sat on the wooden bed to meditate and regulate his breath, and the three previous distractions were really exhausting.

The soul-calming incense was put away, and the demon woke up quickly. In the outside world, he was still in the state of a snake tail, but after a series of changes, he quickly became the appearance of an ordinary black snake.

The 魖 spit out its tongue and approached Wu Yi in a flattering way. Wu Yi did not stop it and let it crawl onto his feet and entangled in a circle.

Ghosts are said to be cold all over. Even if Wu Yi is strong and not afraid of Yin Qi, he will not take the initiative to contact Yin Qi because he is uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it.

At this time, Wu Yi let the 魖 crawl onto his legs naturally and had no reaction to Yin Qi at all. Perhaps it should be said that Wu Yi's body was also contaminated with a trace of Yin Qi, and in a sense, he was one with Yin Qi.

If someone touches Wu Yi's body, they will definitely find that Wu Yi's whole body is extremely cold. This is one of the consequences of practicing the art of raising ghosts. Moreover, it is only the beginning now. Wu Yi is no longer a normal person. I don't know what changes he will have in the future.

"Huh." Wu Yi suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Dahuai Town. At the same time, a cold look in front of a house in Dahuai Town also looked at Wu Yi's position.

There is a causal line that entangles Wu Yi and the ghost with a human head and a snake body.

The ghost with a human head and a snake body originally had half of a new snake tail growing out of its lower body, but now the snake tail has completely disappeared and turned into a human foot. At this moment, it is no longer accurate to describe it as a human head and a snake body. It has become a human-shaped ghost, without the defect of a snake tail. The originally fluctuating breath has now stabilized, and the dark black air slowly comes out of its body, and it has been promoted to a spirit ghost.

The 魖 that Wu Yi planted the magic contract with was originally its lower body, not an independent life, but Wu Yi intervened and forcibly made the 魖 independent into a new life. The world only recognizes one life, and only one of this ghost and the 魖 can exist.

After realizing the meaning of the way of heaven, Wu Yi quickly suppressed it in his heart and no longer paid too much attention to it. If he was not sure of defeating even a ghost, it would be too unconfident.

However, if he did not take it to heart at all, it would appear arrogant. He could start to improve the cultivation of the 魖 first. Now it is time to feed the ghost. Wu Yi looked at the 魖 coiled around his feet and thought in his heart.

All the Yin Qi stored in the Yin Talisman overnight was released, and the room seemed to have entered the cold winter in an instant. Even a sturdy man would immediately feel cold and stiff if he appeared here. Even Wu Yi recovered after several cycles of Qi.

The Yin Qi was divided into two groups. One was the Yin Qi left after the evil ghost dissipated. It seemed extremely complicated, but the number was huge, accounting for more than 80%. The other side was the Yin Qi of the spirit ghost that Wu Yi took away. Although it was not much, it exuded a cold color and was not ordinary.

Wu Yi suddenly understood why the black beetle asked for 90% of the Yin Qi before. The remaining 10% of the Yin Qi was probably left for his ghost pet to be promoted.

Although he had to share 90% of the Yin Qi with the black beetle, Wu Yi had no intention of not fulfilling his promise. His relationship with the black beetle was very subtle. He could control the black beetle's cultivation through the flames surrounding the black beetle. Although he could not determine the fate of the black beetle, it was enough to make the black beetle accomplish nothing. This was obviously unacceptable to the black beetle.

From this perspective, Wu Yi seems to have the upper hand. In fact, Wu Yi also maintains an advantage on the surface, but the black beetle with extraordinary origins can compete with him through his profound knowledge. Even Wu Yi still doesn't know why sometimes he doesn't bring the beads with him, how does the black beetle know what happened? Sometimes Wu Yi feels that he has no secrets in front of the black beetle.

Although the black beetle seemed a little impulsive at the beginning, it has become more and more mature. In the end, Wu Yi sometimes had to make an exchange of interests with the black beetle.

So Wu Yi and the black beetle are brothers on the surface, but in fact they are equal communities of interests.

Both of them understand this in their hearts, and they have no intention of breaking this weak balance. This community of interests is too fragile and unstable. Any breach of contract by either party will easily destroy it.

Wu Yi will not exhaust all the resources. He knows that only by maintaining a channel of contact with the black beetle can he obtain the greatest benefits. A little bit of Yin Qi is far inferior to this.

Wu Yi took out a little bit of each of the two different kinds of Yin Qi, and then poured the remaining Yin Qi into the bead. The Yin Qi that could freeze people into death was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any ripples.

After all, it was the first time to feed a ghost, and Wu Yi had no practical experience in feeding ghosts. He did not dare to give the ghost a strong medicine all at once. He put the Yin Qi of the spirit ghost level back into the Yin Fu, and divided the remaining Yin Qi of the evil ghost level with the ghost.

Seeing the Yin Qi, the ghost was like a child seeing delicious food. Its small body, which was a foot long, tried to open its mouth and swallowed all that Wu Yi took out. Its body swelled like a stick.

Wu Yi was swallowed by it before he could stop it, so he simply stopped caring about it. The evil ghost dared to swallow even the living spirit ghosts before. Even if the ghost was a little weaker, it should not be a big problem to swallow some evil ghost-level Yin Qi.

After swallowing so much Yin Qi, the demon couldn't digest it all at once. Its swollen body leaked out Yin Qi bit by bit, forming a circle of gray mist around its body, which enveloped the demon in an extremely gloomy manner.

The mist was firmly locked around the demon's body and would not drift away. Yin Qi came in and out with every breath. If you look closely, you can see that the mist is decreasing little by little.

After the demon absorbed all the mist, it should wake up. After swallowing the Yin Qi, the demon did not move except breathing in and out the Yin Qi, as if it had fallen asleep. However, Wu Yi guessed that this should be a way for ghosts to practice, just like human meditation.

After Wu Yi finished his work, he immersed himself in the bead. The black beetle had asked him for Yin Qi before, and he wanted to know what the black beetle was used for.

Who knew that this sight seemed to open up a new world for him, greatly affecting his future cultivation.
