The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 357 - 178: Small faults are punished, Big ones are stewed_1

"From my perspective, disregarding decay, pollution, deformation...If one merely wishes to transform a mortal corpse into the lowest rank of Nether Fond Spirits, there are indeed quite a few ways."

"However, if one desires to retain partial resemblance to their original form, maintain some sense of familiarity, rather than seeking cognition or memory...it would exponentially increase the difficulty of transformation, and the required original materials will be more precious and rare..."

Ye Hanjun explained his thoughts, then inscribed all the Heavenly and Earthly Materials he currently lacked onto the scroll.

Even about how the ceremony should proceed and what environment was needed, he told everything without any omissions.

"I will provide you with the information you need regularly!"

"Once the transformation is successful, as long as I can access the information, whether hidden or not, I will share it with you!"

Bai Qin made the promise spontaneously, at the same time, she carefully put the Spirit cloth scroll into the Dimensional Space Bag.

Then, she took out a pair of exquisite small bone whistles, one hung around her neck and the other was handed to Ye Hanjun.

"Without any special tasks, I will meet with you once every two weeks."

"Each time, I will blow this whistle outside the gates of Canghai Pavilion. As long as you are within the courtyard, you should definitely be able to sense the vibration of the bone whistle."

"If after waiting for an hour and you do not appear, I will leave special clues, and then hide the information in a specific location for you to find by yourself...."

"Then, happy cooperation." Ye Hanjun said with a slight smile.

"Happy cooperation."

Bai Qin nodded, her initial indifference gradually returned to her face. However, at the depths of her pupils, there seemed to be a burning flame.

...

Five days later, Ye Hanjun returned to the Canghai Pavilion.

He did not travel with Jin Shanshan. They separated halfway to avoid overlap between Bai Ya and Master Han’s identities.

The gains from this trip weren’t as good as expected, but still satisfying enough.

The intelligence network of Bai Qin and part of the heritage of Anlatusa, all are good things.

The third major gain was Mo’s advancement.

After being fatally injured by the Spider Monkey and resurrected with the help of the three-eyed white crow.

Mo astonishingly upgraded, transitioning from Rainbow Light Small Achievement to Rainbow Light Great Completion, his overall combat strength far exceeded Huazhu’s.

Although – it’s just a hairbreadth from Huazhu’s Rainbow Light Perfection.

But if she doesn’t advance further, then wanting to satisfy Mo’s masochistic needs all by herself would be drastically more difficult.

"Qua~~"

The considerate GuaGua, hates the old rag, but loves Little Black Hat.

It played the role of a little helper, using the ’Pure White Shower Gel’ to cause a critical hit on Mo, satisfying daily masochist targets.

"Oh dear, finally back."

"I almost suffocated. It was hard enough waking up from thousands of years of sleep, and before I could enjoy a few days of freedom, I was shut into the desolate Contract Space. Who could understand this loneliness?"

With a flash of the marks, Goose Immortal and Huazhu appeared in the mansion, one before the other.

Huazhu had long been used to it and made no complaints.

But Goose Immortal felt out of place everywhere, constantly grumbling as if he were falling apart.

"Human Master, let me say, there’s no need for multiple identities. Isn’t it better to be straightforward and open?"

"If a foolish clown dares to step out of line, just crush them all the way. The Immortal will beat them so bad, their mother wouldn’t recognize them!"

Ye Hanjun sneered, glanced sideways at the big goose, and replied curtly:

"At the realm of Rainbow Light Perfection, can you fight enemies above your level and defeat Jade Infant Virtual Leading?"

"Well, that’s a bit difficult."

Goose Immortal’s imposing demeanor cooled down, but only for two seconds before defiantly retorting:

"Can you blame Immortal for that?"

"Immortal, I’m at Jade Infant Perfection!"

"If I could restore all my levels, in this Canghai Pavilion, aside from the elder deputy pavilion masters, who could Immortal possibly lay my eyes on?"

"In the end, it’s still you, Human Master, who is not trying hard enough."

"As long as you don’t advance to the third level, you’ll always hold Immortal back. Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?"

"Okay, okay." Ye Hanjun rolled his eyes, "Just wait, your chance to perform will come."

"I hope when it’s critical, the proud goose with iron wings won’t chicken out."

"Huh!"

Goose Immortal shook his head and neck, retorting courageously:

"Once Immortal speaks, even ninety-nine fine horses can’t catch up!"

"Immortal is a male goose who is going to establish a Holy Nest, how could I give up when things get hard, what about later?"

"Admirable."

Ye Hanjun gave a thumbs-up, praising extravagantly.

"Ding - Ding Ding -"

The doorbell rang, interrupting the conversation between the man and the goose.

Ye Hanjun looked up, riding Lao Liu quickly to the back of the gate, finding several people outside the mansion.

"Master Han, this is your order from last time, and these are the target Fond Spirits that we have collected through various channels. Please check them."

"No problem, this is the payment and new down payment. Continue with the second batch, the higher the quality the better ..."

After the team of travel-worn merchants left, Ye Hanjun pushed the iron boxes one by one into the mansion before closing the gate.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

"Kee! Kee kee kee!!"

"Chirp! Chirp chirp chatter!!!"

...

A total of ten big iron boxes, the largest of which was nearly ten meters in length, width, and height, while the smallest was not even one meter.

There were prohibitions on them, similar to reinforced sealing formation patterns.

Even before they were formally opened, there was a noisy call...

When the keys were taken out, and the boxes were opened one by one, a multitude of brightly colored Avian Creatures rushed out. Disturbed, they flew up into the sky, some hovering, and some flying aimlessly around. The usually quiet mansion suddenly became lively.
