it was rather akin to chickens laying eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the use of this Starry Sky Magic Bead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like it’s full of Demonic Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t Demonic Qi make Demonic Beasts mutate and go crazy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What use is it to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai scoffed coldly, “This is genuinely precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Starry Sky Magic Bead is even worth more than the total value of an entire Xianmen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, “That good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai explained, “Demonic Qi indeed can cause Demonic Beasts to mutate, turning into murderous frenzied Magical Beasts, but that’s not the case for human cultivators; humans can use certain methods to negate the negative effects of the Demonic Qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen really got it this time, “So simply put, this Starry Sky Magic Bead is something that can enhance one’s strength, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, absorbing the pure Demonic Qi inside, which is transformed from Starry Sky Dark Energy, greatly boosts cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also improves physique significantly, increasing the speed of absorbing and transforming spiritual Qi, offering the cultivator a permanent and tremendous benefit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the method to nullify the downside of the Demonic Qi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai went through the method, which was to take a medicinal bath with specific drugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these drugs were quite expensive, they were not difficult to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it indeed seemed easy to solve the downside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s consider this as a down payment then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said readily, “Now, I would trouble you, Senior, to sign a Friendship Contract with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I’ll take a look at that Sword Talisman and see if there’s anything I can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, I have taken your down payment after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I can’t save you, I can go and bring more help from outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Zai, already familiar with Lin Chen’s caution and assertiveness, couldn’t be bothered to argue any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen had said, a Friendship Contract wouldn’t pose any hindrance or delay to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of blood flew out from the darkness below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this single drop radiated a terrifying vibration, causing the surrounding seawater to part a great distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen also released a drop of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two drops met in midair and collided with each other, both receiving feedback information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Friendship Contract was agreed upon, a glint of light appeared on the blood, as though the will of the Heavenly Dao flashed within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood separated into two drops and returned to their respective bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Lin Chen sensed the presence of the other, a unique effect of the Friendship Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly, Lin Chen could feel Chi Zai’s terrifying body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the Friendship Contract, that spine-chilling terror also slowly faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen had no extravagant hopes of encountering any special fortune; all he wanted was to ensure his own safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His safety now and in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t ensure that, he would prefer to flee right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handling a suppressed Starry Sky Demon Beast was certainly better than facing one that had broken free, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, my friend, you can move about now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go take a look at that Sword Talisman!”\u003C\u002Fp>",996,"2026-06-06T01:52:26.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","507c039543c218047e857502658880e2291bc54b1d801b73c2fbcaba65f9d41d","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2401","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2249",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
