Chapter 221: Lu Youguang

After soothing Lu Youqiang and his family, he finally had time to communicate with that male deer, and Lin Zhangqing also knew that he should have basically persuaded it, just waiting for the final decision.

So Lin Zhangqing directly offered the final condition, promising it that after they completely digested and adapted to their current cultivation realm, he would give them spiritual objects to help them advance to the second stage.

Hearing the promise Lin Zhangqing made, the male deer "Yo-yo!"-ed twice toward the female deer, then came to Lin Zhangqing's front, all four limbs on the ground, squatting on the ground, with its head lowered against the ground.

Lin Zhangqing was very familiar with this action; it was basically exactly the same as Lu Youqiang's at the time, and he didn't know if it was taught by Lu Youqiang, but the meaning expressed was very clear.

Lin Zhangqing knew he had succeeded; he forcibly suppressed his excitement, reached out to gently stroke its forehead and antlers; although the male deer's body trembled a little, it did not resist.

Feeling incomparably refreshed in his heart, but not daring to drag it out any longer, Lin Zhangqing directly recited the Master-Servant Contract incantation, then used the Golden Thread Escape Light Needle to prick his finger, forcing out a drop of essence blood containing his own spiritual energy, and dripped it onto the male deer's forehead.

It was quickly absorbed into the male deer's sea of consciousness, and he could immediately sense its existence in his mind; through the contract, he also felt the waves of submission conveyed by this male deer.

Now he could communicate through the contract, conveying his meaning to the male deer; the male deer "Yo-yo!"-ed twice toward Lin Zhangqing.

Then it stood up and came to the side of the female deer and the two little deer; the family had a burst of "Yo-yo!" communication, and soon the male deer nodded toward Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing understood that this meant they had already successfully persuaded them; subsequently, he recited the Master-Servant Contract incantation and contracted the female deer and the other slightly larger little deer.

As for that little deer born not long ago, Lin Zhangqing did not contract it; he would talk about this one after a while.

Mainly because he had also contracted two Earth-Armored Rhinoceroses in the past two days; in three days, he had used a total of five drops of essence blood, and Lin Zhangqing's face was already a bit pale now.

The matter was not over yet! Lin Zhangqing first untied the ropes on the deer, and then conducted a round of soothing through the contract.

By the way, he also stroked and smoothed their fur, mainly to have more contact with them, with the purpose of increasing their mutual feelings and starting to build some trust.

Lin Zhangqing had also gotten along with Lu Youqiang and his family like this before; now it could be said that Lin Zhangqing already understood this kind of spirit beast, the Three-Colored Deer, very well and knew how to get along with them.

Since they had become his own deer, he should also give them all names to make it easier to summon them later.

Thinking for a while, the male deer would be called Lu Youguang, the female deer would be called Lu Xiaomei, that larger little male deer would be called Lu Xiaokang; as for the smallest little guy, he originally wanted to call it Lu Xiaoxiao, but it happened to share the same name as Mu Xiaoxiao, so he changed it to Lu Xiaomin.

Subsequently, through the contract, he told them the names Lin Zhangqing had given them, and they all happily accepted them.

It was just that Lu Xiaomin hadn't been contracted yet and couldn't convey very precise meanings, but it didn't matter; after a while, when Lin Zhangqing's body's essence blood recovered, he would come to contract this little guy.

Because there were new spirit beasts joining, Lin Zhangqing conveyed the matters needing attention in the inner space to the newly arrived deer through the contract.

Thinking for a while, he was still not at ease, so he personally led Lu Youguang and his family over and pointed out the important spirit herbs and spirit plants to them.

Of course, he also pointed out the most important deep pit in the inner space to them, and specifically exhorted them not to approach it casually, and even more so not to fall into it, otherwise even Lin Zhangqing couldn't save them.

Considering that Lu Youguang and his family had just arrived, Lin Zhangqing specifically pointed out a region of spirit plants and let them be responsible for taking care of them.

This way, they wouldn't get mixed up, and there wouldn't be a situation where a spirit plant was catalyzed twice in a short period.

He led them on an inspection tour, divided the areas they were responsible for, and finally returned to the courtyard; considering that there were now four more Three-Colored Deer in the inner space.

Lin Zhangqing specifically instructed Zhao Liyu and Xu Meiniang to expand the fifty mu of alfalfa grass in the space to a scale of at least one hundred mu when they had time; the grass seeds would be collected from the existing fifty mu. Of course, if they were willing, Lin Zhangqing didn't mind if they planted more; after all, Zhao Liyu's spirit beasts would definitely need it in the future, and it could also be considered as increasing the utilization rate of the space.

He also gave instructions to Lu Youqiang and the others to take good care of the newly arrived family; seeing that all matters had been handled, Lin Zhangqing exited the inner space.

Returning to the room, he found a bottle of blood-replenishing pills in his storage bag, took one, and sat cross-legged on the chair, operating his cultivation method to help dissolve the medicinal power.

To be honest, losing so much essence blood in a short period, Lin Zhangqing could still clearly feel that his body was a bit uncomfortable, but there was no other way; if he didn't contract them, Lin Zhangqing wouldn't be at ease!

Not to mention the Three-Colored Deer, now that the space was larger, and would be even larger in the future, he needed more Three-Colored Deer to help manage it.

Lin Zhangqing even had a plan; after successfully establishing his foundation, he prepared to sneak into the interior of the Qingyun Mountain Range, cooperate with Lu Youqiang, and lure and capture a few more Three-Colored Deer to work for him; fortunately, now that he had Lu Youguang and his family, he didn't need to do that for the time being.

There were also the Earth-Armored Rhinoceroses, which were also very important; some important plans in the future would still need their help, and as natural miners in the cultivation world, their talent in finding ore veins was not inferior to the Spirit-Seeking Rat.

Plus, that *Record of Qingyun Mountain Range Spirit Beasts* highly praised the Earth-Armored Rhinoceros; at first, Lin Zhangqing thought the author was exaggerating, but now, through Lu Youqiang's example, Lin Zhangqing understood a little.

Previously, Lin Zhangqing also thought the Three-Colored Deer was an auspicious spirit beast that wouldn't fight and would only run away; unexpectedly, after advancing to the second stage, Lu Youqiang actually became aggressive.

Wind-escape plus charging, killing Qi Refining cultivators one after another; those people couldn't even run away; this was truly something Lin Zhangqing couldn't imagine.

At the same time, he also understood that no matter how honest, timid, or harmless-looking a spirit beast was, as long as it felt danger, it would also fight back and kill people.

Therefore, now he was particularly looking forward to those few Earth-Armored Rhinoceroses again, deciding that as long as he had time, he would go to accompany them.

Build trust, increase mutual feelings; this way, when they advanced in the future and their strength became powerful, they wouldn't just turn against him.

Of course, the same logic applied to Lu Youguang and his family; during this recent period, besides cultivation, he would do this.

After about half an hour, the blood-replenishing pills were finally all dissolved; Lin Zhangqing took out his tea set and brewed a pot of Green Jade Tea for himself.

He prepared to start cultivating the Thunder True Scripture after drinking the spirit tea, and then rest early; after all, he had been running around outside for more than ten days.

After more than two hours, Lin Zhangqing cleaned his body outside, and subsequently returned to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, after Lin Zhangqing finished his cultivation, he released Chu Yi, Chu Er, and the others, fed them by the way, and after they were full, let them go out to play by themselves.

Next was the Purple Crystal Scorpion swarm; Lin Zhangqing specifically got some crushed demonic beast meat, threw it into the spirit beast bracelet for them to eat, then threw in a few hundred spirit stones, and subsequently ignored them.

Finally, there was only Mao Qiu left; this was the simplest. Originally, Lin Zhangqing wanted to send it away with a Spirit Nurturing Pill.

However, considering that it had indeed made a great contribution this time, he gave it a hundred-year Vermilion Fruit after giving it the Spirit Nurturing Pill.

When Lin Zhangqing took out the Vermilion Fruit and placed it in front of it, it couldn't believe it!

After looking at Lin Zhangqing repeatedly, and finally confirming that it was really for it, it excitedly hugged the Vermilion Fruit and ran around in the room, and was finally caught by Lin Zhangqing and thrown back into the spirit beast bracelet to calm down.
