Chapter 327: Divine Soul Contract

Hearing that the opponent finally wanted to show his cards with him, Song Qingming narrowed his eyes, put away the Golden Light Mirror in his hand, and carefully looked at the crane puppet beast.

"Since you guessed my situation, you should also know what the old man wants most now. However, you can rest assured that I still don't look at your pseudo-spiritual root shell with low aptitude. If I want to possess, I also have to find a shell with better aptitude.

Although you can cultivate to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment at this age, your own aptitude is too poor. If there is no expert to help, just relying on your lifetime, don't think about forming a Core.

You only need to take me away from here, and in the future, help me find a suitable shell for possession. The old man can temporarily stay by your side to help you succeed in forming a Core. What do you think?"

"Does the senior really have a way to help me form a Core?" Song Qingming asked somewhat disbelievingly.

"Hmph! Although the old man is in trouble here today, I was also a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who once stirred up the wind and clouds. Although I dare not guarantee with you that I can absolutely help you succeed in forming a Core, I still have six or seven parts of certainty. Saying this should also be enough, right?" The crane puppet said while pacing on the spot.

"If it can really be as the senior said, then it should be enough. However, how should I take the senior away from here?"

"This is very simple. You only need to carry this puppet beast on your body."

"Just take you away directly like this? Is the senior not afraid that I will not abide by the subsequent promises after leaving here?"

The crane puppet laughed: "Since it is a deal, of course, we must set up a vow between us. With this, you can also rest assured to take me by your side. Otherwise, you and I will still need to guard against each other every day in the future, which is not an easy thing.

This is a divine soul contract that cannot attack each other. As long as you and I each separate a trace of divine soul and attach it to the top, this contract will take effect immediately. If you have no opinion on this side, we can sign the contract immediately. With this, you should also be able to rest assured, right?"

After the crane puppet beast finished speaking, one wing moved slightly, and a black scroll flew over immediately, appearing at Song Qingming's feet.

Song Qingming scanned the black scroll with his divine sense and discovered that there was no abnormal situation. After picking it up and opening it to look, he discovered that the opponent did not lie to him. This thing was indeed not a bit different from what it said; it was a divine soul contract that restricted both sides.

This thing was not an ordinary spirit item. It was estimated that its value on the market might not be lower than an ordinary second-tier top-quality magic tool. Although Song Qingming had heard of this spirit item very early, it was the first time he had truly seen this thing after cultivating for so many years.

The so-called divine soul contract could be considered a kind of contract spirit item that was relatively fair to both sides in the cultivation world. Both cultivators each separated a wisp of divine soul and placed it inside. If one side did not abide by the agreement on the contract and launched a sneak attack on the opponent, the divine soul contract would take effect immediately and directly swallow the entire divine soul of the violator of the contract.

However, although this divine soul contract was very easy to use, signing this thing would also leave hidden dangers for both sides. In case the contract could not be lifted in time in the future and fell into the hands of someone with intentions, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, in general, the higher the tier of the cultivator, the less likely they would choose to sign this kind of contract.

But at this moment, facing an old guy of the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming seemed to have no better choice. After hesitating for a moment, he still nodded and agreed to the suggestion proposed by the opponent.

Seeing that Song Qingming had agreed to this plan, the crane puppet suddenly emitted a trace of purple spiritual light, which merged into the black scroll embedded with the divine soul contract. Not long after, there was an extra purple divine soul on this divine soul contract.

After imprinting a wisp of his own divine soul, the crane puppet threw the black scroll directly toward Song Qingming again.

"Kid! Now it should be your turn."

Seeing that there was no big problem with this contract, Song Qingming took the initiative to separate a wisp of his own divine soul and carefully entered the black scroll. Not long after entering the scroll, Song Qingming felt a chilling cold air attacking, and the wisp of divine soul he separated seemed to have been swallowed by something all at once.

With the spiritual light of the black scroll lighting up again, there was an extra divine soul with a slightly darker color on the divine soul contract.

After the divine soul imprinting was completed, Song Qingming immediately felt that he seemed to have been stared at by a pair of cold eyes, and his whole body seemed to have been covered with a trace of cold frost. After a long time, he slowly got used to this strange feeling.

Song Qingming had just embedded his divine soul and signed the divine soul contract. The crane puppet, who had put away this contract, suddenly opened its mouth again:

"Kid! Refreshing enough. Looking at your divine soul, it seems somewhat not right. Have you also practiced divine soul-type cultivation techniques?"

"Senior's eyes are not bad. Junior did indeed practice a divine soul cultivation technique earlier, but this cultivation technique is somewhat incomplete and can only be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage."

The crane puppet beast nodded with an expressionless face, then waved its wings gently, and threw another scroll that looked relatively simple and unadorned to Song Qingming's hand.

"This set of cultivation techniques is also for cultivating the divine soul and can be cultivated to the Core Formation stage. It is something I obtained by chance many years ago. Meeting you today can also be considered a happy event for the old man. This thing will be a meeting gift for you. You can rest assured that in the future, as long as we can cooperate well, the old man will not treat you badly."

"Many thanks to the senior for the treasure!" After Song Qingming took the scroll, he did not rush to open it to check, but put it into his storage bag, then hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked the opponent.

"Alright! Since the divine soul contract has been signed, my life and death are handed over to you, kid. You wait a moment, I will first withdraw the formation and let you out. The old man has stayed here for so many years and has long wanted to leave." After speaking, the crane puppet beast left here directly.

After Song Qingming waited on the spot for about an incense stick's time, the crane puppet beast returned to this place.

"The formation outside has been withdrawn by me. You walk directly forward. After leaving this cave, you can leave here directly."

"Senior! The person who chased and killed the junior earlier might still be outside. Should we wait a while before going out?"

Seeing that this crane puppet beast suddenly became the size of a fist and fell into his hand, Song Qingming hurriedly asked carefully. He had stayed in this great formation for so many days and did not know that the unlucky Sun Jingya, after being trapped by the formation for several days, had long since fled here in a panic. He was still worried that going out now would bump into this person again.

"You can rest assured and go. After that guy walked out of the Thousand Illusion Formation, he had already left here. In the future, you must pay attention for me. Don't go and provoke enemies stronger than yourself at every turn. It doesn't matter if you die, but don't drag the old man along with you."
