But at this moment, Hu Po's situation didn't seem too good. A huge gray eagle stood in front of him, looking down at him. The eagle's eyes revealed a scrutinizing look, as if it was considering whether this little thing in front of it … could be eaten!
Hu Po's body was very sturdy, but compared to the grey eagle in front of him, it paled in comparison. Compared to the two fierce beasts, Hu Po was only the size of the eagle's claw.
This showed the grey eagle's size.
Lu Ye remembered what Li Baxian said before. Although there were no disciples in charge of the Blue Blood Sect's encampment, there was still a fierce beast that the sects in the outer circle generally couldn't take down.
It seemed that this grey eagle was the fierce beast that Fourth Senior Brother mentioned!
Before entering, neither his Second Senior Sister nor Fourth Senior Brother specifically explained the situation of this fierce beast, so it seemed that this grey eagle wasn't much of a threat to him.
Thinking so, Lu Ye hurriedly walked forward.
The grey eagle sensed him and turned to look at Lu Ye, the scrutinizing look in its eyes growing stronger.
Hu Po also saw Lu Ye and turned around to stand between him and the grey eagle. Beside him, there was a cultivator looking at this scene with a headache.
"Is it Azure Sea Mountain's Senior Brother?" Lu Ye stepped forward and asked. This person wasn't weak, at least a Ninth Order cultivator with an Earth Grade Secret Art. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escort Hu Po all the way here.
"Yes," The person nodded slightly.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!" Lu Ye bowed, "Thank you for escorting me all the way here, Senior Brother."
The person smiled, "It was just on the way." He looked Lu Ye up and down and praised, "Junior Brother Yi Ye is really talented. The battle of Golden Light Peak made me yearn for you."
Lu Ye said humbly, "Senior Brother is too kind."
[It's over. I'll really have to walk the Nine States with the name of Yi Ye in the future.]
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries. The Azure Sea Mountain cultivator still had matters to attend to, so he took his leave. Lu Ye expressed his gratitude again.
Watching him leave, Lu Ye raised his head to look at the grey eagle standing next to him. The other party also lowered his head to look at him, then bent down and gently touched Lu Ye's head with its beak. Lu Ye didn't know what it meant, but it flapped its wings and flew away, quickly landing on a mountain peak not far away.
After Grey Eagle left, Hu Po finally relaxed. He walked to Lu Ye's side and rubbed his head against her.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Jade Blood Sect!" Lu Ye patted Hu Po's head. These words were directed at both Hu Po and Yi Yi.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of the rogue cultivators along the way, Lu Ye directly returned to the Heaven's Secret Hall and fiddled with the Heaven's Secret Pillar.
Before he came in, Second Senior Sister told him to get a pet contract from here, but he didn't know how to get one.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Jade Blood Sect's disciple Lu Ye, respectfully requesting a Pet Contract."
A warm feeling came from the battlefield imprint, and some information that he had never seen before was transmitted into his mind. In his consciousness, there seemed to be an ancient beast skin parchment.
It didn't take long for him to realize that this was a pet contract. It allowed the cultivator and the pet beast to form an inseparable bond. That way, the pet beast would be able to follow the cultivator into and out of the Spirit Stream Battlefield. For example, Hu Po was a demonic beast born in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Without this pet contract, it would have been impossible for it to leave the Spirit Stream Battlefield and head to the Nine States.
This was a bit mysterious, and it reminded Lu Ye of the Heaven's Secret Contract that Li Baxian had requested.
Whether it was a Heaven's Secret Contract or a Pet Contract, they couldn't have appeared out of nowhere. Where did these things come from? Why did he only need to respectfully request a Heaven's Secret Contract to come out? And what was Heaven's Secret?
Some questions arose in Lu Ye's mind, but he didn't delve too deeply into it. He felt that these things definitely contained a great secret, but it was still too far away from him.
There was a price to pay for a pet contract, and the price was 100 merit points. The information Lu Ye had just received explained this point.
He checked the information in his battlefield imprint.
Name: Lu Ye
Identity: Jade Blood Sect's disciple
Cultivation: 64 apertures
Location: Spirit Stream Battlefield
Merit points: 943.
There wasn't much change in his cultivation. During the battle to kill Dong Shuye, he had already opened 63 apertures. After so many days, he had only opened one more aperture. The main reason was that he had been running and killing enemies all this time, so he didn't have any extra spiritual power to open his apertures.
His merit points had changed a lot though. He remembered that after killing Dong Shuye, he had less than four hundred merit points, but now he had almost a thousand.
Naturally, the majority of his merit points came from the battle on Golden Light Peak. While on Golden Light Peak, Lu Ye had fought forty-three battles in a row and killed at least thirty enemies. Except for the first one he killed, which was a Fifth-Order, the rest were all Sixth-Order, each of which gave him twelve merit points. The final battle had even given him twenty-one merit points.
On Golden Light Peak alone, Lu Ye had obtained almost three hundred sixty to seventy merit points, with the rest coming from killing enemies along the way.
One hundred merit points wasn't a small number. Although Lu Ye's merit points were close to a thousand now, it wasn't easy to obtain them. These merit points represented his battle record along the way.
However, Yi Yi and Hu Po had known each other for a long time and had accompanied him all this time. Lu Ye had been able to escape death many times thanks to Hu Po's speed, so no matter what, he had to request a Pet Contract. Not to mention a hundred merit points, even if it cost him all his merit points, Lu Ye wouldn't frown.
With a single thought, a milky white vortex appeared in front of the Heaven's Fate Pillar and slowly rotated. At the same time, Lu Ye's merit points decreased by a hundred.
Reaching into the vortex, Lu Ye took out a simple animal skin parchment.
According to the information he had obtained before, Lu Ye bit his fingertip and pressed his fingertip onto the animal skin parchment, pushing his Spirit Qi and sending it towards the confused Hu Po.
The animal skin parchment burst into flames and shot towards Hu Po, merging into his body. Although Hu Po didn't understand what was happening, he didn't move because the flames didn't cause him any harm.
A moment later, the flames went out and Lu Ye clearly felt that there was an additional layer of connection between him and Hu Po. This connection not only allowed them to perceive each other even if they were not too far apart, Lu Ye also seemed to be able to perceive Hu Po's thoughts more clearly.
This Pet Contract was a bit mysterious.
Without delay, Lu Ye took Hu Po back to Blue Blood Sect's headquarters.
After he left, several heads peeked out from the entrance of Heaven's Fate Hall and saw that there was no one inside. Only then did they confirm that Blue Blood Sect's Lu Yi Ye had come to station!
The news quickly spread, and many itinerant cultivators became worried …
Inside the Sect's Heaven's Fate Hall, Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother were still waiting. Seeing Lu Ye and Hu Po appear together, Li Baxian smiled and said, "Did you see Xiao Hui?"
"Xiao Hui?" Lu Ye was stunned but quickly reacted. Li Baxian was talking about the giant grey eagle and his eyes couldn't help but twitch, "Who named it?"
Such a handsome and majestic beast was actually given such a casual name ….
"That's the pet beast that Eldest Senior Brother tamed back then." Li Baxian explained with a smile, "After Eldest Senior Brother left the Spirit Stream Battlefield, it stayed in the station. That's why Second Senior Sister told you not to worry about it. Blue Blood Sect's station doesn't have anything good right now and with Xiao Hui guarding it, the sects in the Outer Circle won't dare to offend us."
As he spoke, he tossed a jade slip to Lu Ye, "I've written down the general situation of the station in here. Take a look at it when you have time. As a Guardian Envoy, cultivating in the station is still very beneficial, especially since your cultivation is still low."
Lu Ye took the jade slip and nodded slightly. Suddenly, he remembered something and patted Hu Po's head, "Come out and greet my Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother."
Shui Yuan and Li Baxian looked at Hu Po in confusion, not knowing how he should greet them.
But soon, their expressions turned to surprise.
Yi Yi's figure slowly floated out, a little shy as she whispered, "Greetings, Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother!" She didn't know how to address Shui Yuan and Li Baxian, so she just followed Lu Ye's lead.
During the battle of Golden Light Peak, Yi Yi hadn't shown herself, mainly because there was no point in showing herself. Moreover, she was a spirit body, so it wasn't convenient for her to show herself to others.
But here, it didn't matter. Whether it was her Second Senior Sister or Fourth Senior Brother, they were all on the same side.
Li Baxian stared at her for a while before looking at Lu Ye. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad, Little Junior Brother!" He had an expression that said all men understood.
Lu Ye explained, "Yi Yi is Hu Po's companion spirit. Along the way, she and Hu Po have helped me a lot."
"Spirit body?" Shui Yuan was curious. Even with her experience, she had never seen an existence like Yi Yi. She curiously stepped forward and raised her hand to pinch Yi Yi's arm. To her surprise, she found that it wasn't any different from pinching a solid body. However, she could see that Yi Yi was indeed a spirit body, but she could transform between an illusory and solid body.
Shui Yuan and Li Baxian's scrutiny made Yi Yi feel uneasy and she looked over for help.
Shui Yuan patted her head, "Since you're Little Junior Brother's companion, you're a member of Blue Blood Sect. From now on, treat this place as your home."
Her words seemed to have a great soothing effect. Yi Yi stared at her, her eyes slowly turning red before she fiercely nodded.
[From now on, I also have a home!] Thinking back to her decision to leave Blue Cloud Mountain with Lu Ye, Yi Yi was filled with joy.
Li Baxian winked at Lu Ye before walking out.
Lu Ye stepped forward and followed.
Walking out of Sky Secret Hall, Li Baxian said, "Originally, after you entered the Sect, you would have arranged for an instructor to teach you cultivation, especially now that you're a Fifth-Order cultivator. You should have seen the state of Blue Blood Sect, so I'm afraid no one will be able to teach you anything. Although the old man is strong, he hasn't taught anyone for many years, and he's quite rigid, so he's not suitable for this kind of thing. "
Suddenly, a stone flew out of nowhere and smashed into Li Baxian's head with lightning speed.
A visible bump appeared on Li Baxian's head, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He turned around and looked at Lu Ye with the bump on his head. "It's a good thing that you've been cultivating well. However, the most important thing now is to determine your own faction. Have you thought about it carefully?"
"A Weapon Cultivator!" Lu Ye stared at Li Baxian's head and gave a decisive answer.
