"Chirp chirp! (Fox Fox can be your Animal Companion now!)"
Upon hearing the Little Spirit Fox's tender voice, Qi Ping withdrew from his Cultivation state.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Little Spirit Fox rubbing its head against him, its eyes, which emitted a mysterious power, blinking with anticipation as it looked at him.
The Mí Xiān Spirit Fox's eyes are the primary organ for casting Bewitching Immortal Illusions, containing an extremely special power.
Although this Little Spirit Fox was still a young cub, the unique radiance in its eyes was the most fantastical and magnificent Qi Ping had ever seen, completely different from the Fire Crow's firm eyes that flickered with the Essence of Fire.
"Alright! Then let's sign the Animal Companion contract!"
"Chirp chirp! (Okay!)"
The Little Spirit Fox did not hesitate, but happily agreed.
It was now eager to become Qi Ping's Animal Companion!
Then, to the Little Spirit Fox's astonished gaze, a mysterious, quietgreen Spell array slowly rose.
This Spell array emitted an aura that made it feel very joyful and comfortable, just like the aura emanating from Qi Ping.
So when that special Spell array slowly merged into its body, it did not feel any discomfort, but rather felt extremely comfortable.
Immediately after, a magical power emerged, slowly transforming Qi Ping's and the Little Spirit Fox's Physical Bodies.
A special connection gradually arose between the man and the beast.
The duration of this contract was not short; perhaps due to the increasingly high Bloodline Rank, it took more time than when he contracted the Fire Crow, Crow.
After nearly two hours, the contracting ceremony was finally completed.
Perhaps it was because the transformation of the Divine Soul Talent required more time; when he awoke from his special state, the Little Spirit Fox had already woken up long ago.
It was currently lying lazily on Qi Ping's lap.
Upon seeing Qi Ping awaken, it shot up with a whoosh.
It felt especially magical now; after the contract, its Physical Body seemed to have been cleansed by a miraculous power, and its body became even lighter.
And most importantly, it felt a very close connection with Qi Ping.
It had just tried walking a good distance, and even when it walked behind a big tree and closed its eyes, it could still feel Qi Ping's presence.
This was truly amazing to it.
Moreover, it seemed that it could not only feel Qi Ping's presence but also talk to Qi Ping from a distance without speaking.
However, Qi Ping had not woken up just now, so it did not dare to disturb him, and only burrowed back into Qi Ping's arms after getting tired of playing.
So as soon as Qi Ping woke up, it asked impatiently.
Qi Ping answered each of its questions.
After carefully answering the Little Spirit Fox's questions, Qi Ping told it to go play on the mountain peak and cautioned it not to run off the peak.
It was not to fight with other small animals on other peaks.
The Bees and the Crow sunbathing were both his Animal Companions, and it could seek their help if it needed anything.
"Chirp chirp! (Okay, Boss, Fox Fox remembers everything, I'm going to play now!)"
After the Little Spirit Fox finished speaking, it ran off to play.
Qi Ping could understand this; cubs of this age, unlike the Bees and Crow, were at the age for playing.
With the Bees watching over it, Qi Ping was not worried about the Little Spirit Fox's safety or it getting lost.
After watching the Little Spirit Fox run far away, Qi Ping focused his attention entirely on his newly comprehended and transformed Divine Soul.
Feeling the completely different Divine Soul and the powerful Divine Sense, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Qi Ping's face.
"Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal!"
This time, his luck had truly exploded!
Qi Ping directly shared the most anticipated Talent: Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal!
[Shared Talent: Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal]
[Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal: There is a special rule imprint in your body that enhances Divine Soul and Divine Sense. The power rule of this imprint originates from the Mí Xiān Spirit Fox's Bewitching Immortal Bloodline. Those with this imprint have a solid Divine Soul, powerful Divine Sense, and extremely high resistance to illusions.]
Looking at the new Talent on his attribute panel, Qi Ping's inner surprise was indescribable.
The Divine Soul is one of the most important Foundations on the path of Cultivation; its importance needs no further explanation.
Secondly, the difficulty of improving the Divine Soul is much greater than accumulating Spiritual Qi, as can be seen from the fact that the price of Divine Soul-type Medicinal Pills far exceeds that of Spiritual Qi-type Medicinal Pills of the same Rank.
Basically, from the Qi Refining Late Stage onwards, especially from the Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, Divine Soul strength begins to become one of the main factors restricting Realm Breakthroughs.
If Divine Soul strength is insufficient, it will lead to insufficient control over the Physical Body and spiritual power, and insufficient Comprehension Ability.
This problem is not obvious during normal Cultivation, but its impact will be significant during Realm Breakthroughs and high-intensity combat.
Perhaps the risk of one or two forced Breakthroughs is not great, but if forced Breakthroughs occur multiple times, the probability of Breakthrough failure and the destruction of one's Dao will greatly increase.
"Now my weakness of insufficient Divine Soul and Comprehension Ability can finally be somewhat compensated!"
With the solution to this problem, Qi Ping's future Cultivation path will be smoother, and in the short term, the strength of his Divine Soul will not become a bottleneck for his Realm Breakthroughs.
Most directly, he estimated that he would not need to worry about insufficient Divine Soul strength before Golden Core, and his comprehension of the Essence of Fire would also become much easier.
Qi Ping's own Divine Soul and Comprehension Ability Aptitude were average, so even during the process of casting Plant Growth, although continuous consumption and recovery tempered his Divine Soul, just like Cultivating with Low Grade Spiritual Root, if the Aptitude is poor, no amount of training will yield outstanding results.
But now that his Divine Soul Talent has been compensated, Qi Ping's Divine Soul improvement speed will continue to increase, forming a virtuous cycle.
Even the efficiency of casting Plant Growth will be greatly improved.
"Let's see what changes there are in Cultivating the Cultivation Technique and comprehending the Essence of Fire after obtaining the Talent [Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal]."
After adjusting his state, Qi Ping eagerly began to Cultivate.
Over the next few hours, Qi Ping tested the differences in Cultivating the Wood Flame Art, Flame Burst Spell, and comprehending the Essence of Fire, compared to before.
In the end, Qi Ping had only one word:
Awesome!
Although the improvement in Comprehension Ability was not particularly obvious, in terms of sensory keenness, such as the perception of Spiritual Qi and the true meaning of Spell arrays, it was completely on a different level than before.
This difference can be directly seen by comparing Qi Ping before and after obtaining the [Yang Fire Body] Talent.
It can only be said that the difference is like heaven and earth!
At this point, Qi Ping's Divine Soul shortcomings were basically resolved, and the goal of finding a Divine Soul-type Spirit Beast was also perfectly achieved.
"But the gains this time are not over yet!"
After testing the effect of the [Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal], Qi Ping turned his attention to another Spirit Beast:
The Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon!
The rarity of this Spirit Beast even surpassed that of the Mí Xiān Spirit Fox!
