Chapter 12 A life-and-death contract

Lin Changqing finally reached the third level of Qi Refining. The next day, in the secret room of his grandfather's house, Lin Changqing and his grandfather sat opposite each other.

"Qing'er, what are your plans? Do you want to wait until the third level of Qi Refining is more stable, or do you want to contract the spirit seed now?"

Lin Changqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll follow Grandpa's instructions."

Grandpa smiled and nodded, "I have always been worried that your cultivation is too low and the contract will not be successful. Now that you have just advanced, why don't you wait for a while to stabilize and wait until you feel there is no problem before you contract it!
Your Pei Yuan Inducing Childbirth Technique should be fine now, right?"

"No problem. I performed it three times in a row last night and it was successful every time."

"That's good. Then you can go to the General Affairs Hall to change your identity jade token. What are you going to do with the 10 acres of spiritual farm given by the family?"

"I'll talk about this after I've contracted the spirit seeds. I probably won't choose the main peak. I want to open up the spirit fields myself, so I can open more by then."

"If you don't choose the main peak, it will be a bit inconvenient. You haven't even reached the fourth level of Qi Refining yet, so you can't use the flying technique. So try not to choose a place that's too far away."

"I understand, Grandpa. It won't be too far."

After coming out of my grandfather's house, I went straight to the General Affairs Hall, which can be said to be the most lively place in the family.

This is where the family posts tasks, where results are submitted after completing tasks, where rewards are distributed, and where spiritual stones, elixirs, and magical tools are exchanged.

Arriving at the General Affairs Hall, it was usually a busy place, but today there were not many people. It just so happened that the fourth elder, Lin Fansheng, was free. I went to him to exchange the jade token.

"Hello, Fourth Grandpa. I'm here to exchange my identity jade token." Lin Changqing said.

"It's Xiao Qing'er. You've reached the third level of Qi Refining so quickly! Not bad, keep up the good work. How's your training of Pei Yuan Inducing Birth going?"

"No problem, I'll cast it for you to see."

"Okay, let's put it towards the two spiritual jujube trees at the door."

Lin Changqing cast a nourishing and stimulating spell on each of the spiritual jujube trees at the door. Each spiritual plant can only withstand one secret spell in a short period of time. Using more than one spell will damage the essence of the spiritual plant.

The fourth elder observed the two spiritual trees and nodded. "Yes! This is the effect of the Pei Yuan Inducing Birth Technique."

He took Lin Changqing's original jade token and replaced it with a new one. Lin Changqing skillfully dropped a drop of blood on it.

I saw an extra line of words on the jade token: First-class lower-grade spiritual plant master. The contribution points increased by 280 points, and now there are contribution points.

"Do you want to apply for the spiritual field at the same time?" asked the fourth elder.

"Thank you, Fourth Grandpa. Not for now, we can talk about it later." Lin Changqing replied.

After saying goodbye to the Fourth Elder, Lin Changqing went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to collect some insect meat, and then went home to continue practicing.

The main thing now is to intensify the consolidation of the third level of Qi Refining, and not let your aura look so superficial at first glance.

Lin Changqing returned to the familiar rhythm of practice and study.

Hard work always pays off. Three months later, Lin Changqing felt that his cultivation had been completely consolidated and even improved.

Chuyi has also grown feathers and can fly freely.

I have to admire the tenacious vitality of spiritual animals. If you put Chuyi in the spiritual plant garden, he will find insects to eat by himself.

I told it not to touch the spiritual medicine and spiritual fruit inside, and it understood. It never moved once. It is very, very smart. Now it can help grandpa and aunt to work and catch insects.

On this day, in the secret room of Grandpa's house, Lin Changqing and Grandpa sat opposite each other.

"Qing'er, have you decided to contract it?" "Yes, Grandpa, I think it's okay."

Grandpa nodded and said, "Come with me."

He took Lin Changqing to a training room. This life contract formation had been prepared for two months.

He patted his storage bag and took out the jade box, and gave the jade box containing the spirit seed to Lin Changqing, signing the life contract and not being disturbed. Wait a minute, you will be in the closed practice room.

After saying that, he walked out, and when he was about to leave, he returned and poured three thousand spirit stones next to the contract formation. He said, "Don't force it later. If you can't make a contract, don't force it."

"I know, don't worry, Grandpa."

After Grandpa left, Lin Changqing sealed the practice room. He felt a little inexplicably excited. He took a long breath and calmed down.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the contract formation, he opened the jade box. After more than two years, he saw this colorful and beautiful halo again.

Lin Changqing concentrated his mind and began to perform the spells of the spiritual plant master's inheritance to contract the spiritual plant of his own destiny. After a set of complex spells were performed and immersed in the spiritual seed, Lin Changqing dripped three drops of blood on it. It was also successfully absorbed into the spiritual seed. It should be done, and he was secretly happy.

At this time, the spirit seed began to absorb Lin Changqing's spiritual energy at a very fast speed. Lin Changqing was shocked and quickly took out the recovery pill and ate one. Soon the spiritual energy was absorbed again. He ate another one, but the result was the same.

After finishing the whole bottle of Qi-restoring pills, Lin Changqing still didn't have enough spiritual energy. He panicked. He wanted to throw the spiritual seed in his hand away, but the spiritual seed seemed to grow on his hand. He couldn't throw it away after several attempts. Lin Changqing was completely scared.

Lin Changqing felt like he was being sucked dry. Suddenly he remembered that he still had a hundred-year-old red fruit, so he quickly took it out and ate it in two or three bites. He felt a little better.

But it was still not enough. Suddenly, a huge suction force came. Lin Changqing couldn't hold on any longer and fainted. His whole body was sucked away, leaving only skin and bones.

The three thousand spirit stones around the contract formation were all turned into ashes, and the spiritual energy was completely absorbed by the spirit seed. At this time, the spirit seed turned into a colorful light and flashed into Lin Changqing's sea of ​​consciousness.

At this time, Lin Changqing was standing in the void. In the distance around him, he could see clusters of nebulae slowly rotating, just like the Milky Way.

Lin Changqing rubbed his eyes. Where was he now? Could it be that he had traveled through time again? He hadn't even had time to repay his grandfather, parents, and family for their kindness! He had traveled through time again?
At this time, a huge and boundless willow tree appeared in front of him, occupying the entire galaxy, with its roots connecting countless galaxies. Its branches swayed gently. Seeing it, Lin Changqing was so shocked that even his thoughts stopped. I don't know how long it took for him to come back to his senses. Oh my God! This is the real spiritual root of heaven and earth!
At this time, a crack appeared on the trunk of the towering willow tree, and many colorful balls of light burst out from it. They flew in all directions and soon disappeared.

One of the balls of light flew towards Lin Changqing, and when it got closer, he realized it was the spirit seed with the colorful halo. It flashed into Lin Changqing's mind.

"Boom!" A loud noise like the creation of the world. An ancient rune took shape in his mind. Miraculously, Lin Changqing actually understood the meaning of this rune. A pact of living and dying together.

A voice with boundless majesty rang out in my mind. "Are you willing?"

Lin Changqing knew that this was the voice of the will of heaven and earth. He subconsciously said, "Agree!"

The ancient rune exploded in my mind with a bang.

The voice sounded again. "The contract is completed. Grant!"

It took a while for Lin Changqing to come back to his senses, mainly because the sound was so shocking to his soul.

Looking at the giant willow, it smiled at Lin Changqing. Lin Changqing didn't know why he knew it was a smile. He felt warm and relieved. It was as kind as facing his own mother.

Lin Changqing understood, and entrusted its child to Lin Changqing, and also regarded Lin Changqing as its own child.

This is a very, very great maternal love that spans countless cosmic spaces and crosses countless long rivers of time.

Seeing that Lin Changqing understood what he meant, the giant willow was very pleased. He gently swayed his branches, and Lin Changqing knew that this was a farewell.

Knowing that we may never meet again, I felt so reluctant that tears welled up in my eyes.
