Kagaya Ubuyashiki seemed quite pleased with Mr. Cheng Mo's reaction.
He continued to explain, "Silent Shadow Crows are extremely rare, born specifically for the transmission and reconnaissance of top-level secret intelligence."
"Their speed far surpasses that of ordinary Kasugai Crows, they fly silently, and they possess extremely high intelligence, capable of independently completing complex commands."
Then, he had Lady Amane bring out a scroll with an antique color, emanating a faint aura of age.
"And this item, known as the 'Synchronization Contract' secret scroll, is also a secret passed down only within our clan."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's tone carried a hint of solemnity.
"Through this secret method, you can establish a deep mental connection with a specific Silent Shadow Crow that far exceeds ordinary commands."
Mr. Cheng Mo looked at the scroll and the extraordinary Kasugai Crow, understanding dawned in his mind.
No wonder the Ubuyashiki Clan's intelligence network in the original work was so efficient and precise; it turned out they had such a foundation.
He recalled the various unsolved mysteries of the Ubuyashiki Family in the original work.
"Please step forward," Kagaya Ubuyashiki said gently, personally beginning to preside over the contract ceremony.
The ceremony was not complicated, yet it carried an ancient sense of mystery.
Mr. Cheng Mo could feel Kagaya Ubuyashiki's gentle and inclusive spiritual power guiding him, slowly connecting him with the Silent Shadow Crow.
The moment Mr. Cheng Mo's spiritual power, following the guidance on the scroll, established a connection with the Silent Shadow Crow, he felt as if Kagaya Ubuyashiki's gentle and inclusive spiritual world was like a vast ocean, gently lifting his consciousness, making the entire process exceptionally smooth.
Before long, the contract was complete.
A wonderful connection was established between him and the Silent Shadow Crow.
He could not only clearly perceive the Silent Shadow Crow's state and emotions, but also share a portion of its vision.
He could even perform vague telepathy within a certain distance, transmitting simple intentions and information!
Just then, a clear intention, carrying a hint of anticipation, entered Mr. Cheng Mo's mind through the newly established link.
The Silent Shadow Crow before him hoped Mr. Cheng Mo could give it a name.
Mr. Cheng Mo pondered for a moment, looking at its pure black feathers, and said, "How about I call you 'Hei Yu'?"
The Silent Shadow Crow, standing on the bird stand, tilted its head slightly in a remarkably human-like manner upon hearing this.
A hint of... helplessness seemed to flash in its intelligent eyes?
It responded in its deep, magnetic voice, with a rather amusing tone: "Well... Mr. Cheng Mo, your talent for naming... seems not to match your strength. However, since it is the master's will, Hei Yu shall obey. From now on, I am Hei Yu."
Mr. Cheng Mo: "..."
He was actually being disliked by a crow.
But he was indeed very satisfied with this gift.
This would undoubtedly greatly enhance his intelligence gathering capabilities and operational convenience.
"Thank you, Head, this gift is of great help to me," Mr. Cheng Mo solemnly thanked Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki showed a gentle smile: "May your friendship with the Demon Slayer Corps blossom eternally."
Afterward, the Ubuyashiki Clan once again offered a generous amount of gold as compensation.
Mr. Cheng Mo did not decline this time, but before leaving, he made an additional request.
He hoped the Ubuyashiki Family could help him exchange a portion of the gold for wild, sufficiently aged rare medicinal herbs from this era.
The natural environment of this era was far superior to his world, and many wild medicinal herbs had extraordinary efficacy and rarity.
This would be of great benefit to his research and refinement of medicines.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki readily agreed; this was not difficult for the Ubuyashiki Clan, who controlled vast resources.
Leaving the Ubuyashiki Estate, Mr. Cheng Mo's Thunder Breathing quietly activated.
He moved like lightning, quickly catching up to Kochou Shinobu and her group, who were moving slowly ahead.
"Teacher!" Tanjirou was the first to spot Mr. Cheng Mo, shouting in surprise.
"You're back! What gift did the Master leave for you? It looks very mysterious."
Mr. Cheng Mo slowed his pace, walking alongside them, and responded in a calm tone: "A special Kasugai Crow."
"A Kasugai Crow?" Tanjirou tilted his head, a little curious.
Mr. Cheng Mo had a thought, transmitting an intention to Hei Yu, who was following high in the sky, through their mental link.
Before long, a dark shadow glided down silently, landing precisely and lightly on Mr. Cheng Mo's shoulder.
Hei Yu elegantly preened its feathers, then greeted the astonished group in its deep, charming voice: "Good afternoon, everyone, I am the master's partner, Hei Yu. Please take care of me from now on."
"A... a crow spoke?!" Himura Ruri, sitting in her wheelchair, widened her eyes in shock, covering her mouth with her small hand.
Tanjirou also looked at Hei Yu in surprise.
"So amazing... it feels completely different from an ordinary Kasugai Crow."
This Kasugai Crow was completely different from ordinary ones; its feathers were darker, its eyes sharper and more intelligent, exuding an indescribable sense of wisdom.
Kochou Shinobu covered her lips and chuckled: "Oh my, what a rare species. It seems the Master truly holds Mr. Cheng Mo in exceptionally high regard."
Kyojuro Rengoku also boisterously praised: "Mhm! He's a perfect match for Mr. Cheng Mo!"
As they traveled, everyone curiously looked at Hei Yu, who stood elegantly and calmly on Mr. Cheng Mo's shoulder, chatting for a few moments.
Hei Yu flapped its wings again, ascending into the sky and disappearing into the clouds, continuing its duty of high-altitude reconnaissance.
Mr. Cheng Mo, meanwhile, carefully savored the novel experience of shared vision.
He was surprised to find that through Hei Yu's vision, some of his Eye of Truth's abilities were faintly preserved!
Although it was far from the meticulous detail he achieved when observing personally, unable to analyze energy flow and microscopic structures, it offered an incredibly vast perspective.
It was as if a mobile surveillance camera had been installed high in the sky, taking in the terrain and movements of people over large areas.
This "God's eye view" was invaluable for strategic planning, tracking, and reconnaissance.
Mr. Cheng Mo's lips curved into a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.
The gains from this trip far exceeded his expectations.
