Chapter 2: Spirit

The man lay quietly on the couch, staring intently at the starry sky above, which he had seen many times, but could not find anything resembling his hometown.

Not under the same starry sky, home! How far away is that......

His name is Bai Xiaoyun, a very ordinary name, as his name suggests, he is also a very ordinary person. It's just that he never imagined that one day he would lie under another starry sky......

The nights here are too long, really, really too long, how many times have he hoped that the sky would not be so bright so that he could sleep more in the morning. But at this time, how he wished he had woken up, the morning sun had already caressed his face.

In the quiet of the night, there is only darkness! And darkness always makes people fearful, that is the confusion and fear of the unknown.

But at this moment, his heart is very calm, and after experiencing those desperate days, he cherishes and enjoys the peace of this moment.

"It's good to be alive!" he sighed deeply.

He looked at his right palm again......

In the dim starlight, there was a faint blood-colored crescent-like pattern in his white palm, which looked like a special tattoo, but, no, he never got a tattoo......

"It's still hard to understand!"

This peculiar blood pattern is a contract ~ blood spirit contract, with blood as the medium, with the spirit as the contract, to build a soul covenant......

Of course, these are all told to him by the "cat" in his arms.

"Xiaoying, what is the principle of this blood spirit contract, and why can it allow people to communicate with animals?" he asked, looking at the "cat" with a big furry tail in his arms;

The "cat" named Xiaoying stretched his waist, glanced at the man with big smart eyes, and lazily lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate.

At this time, a voice suddenly came to his head, "Meow, meow......"

He didn't understand this "cat language", but it was very strange that he could understand the meaning of this "cat language......

"You're an animal, how many times have you said it, I'm the Shadow Spirit Fox!

That's what those "meows" in his head meant.

Why can a few "meows" express so many meanings, and even carry a proud tone?

He's really incomprehensible!

"Xiaoying, can I really cultivate that 'spirit'?" he didn't speak, but "said" to it in his head.

"How many times have you asked? I'm going to bite you to death!"

He touched his nose wryly, this "cat" is still a bit fierce.

He saw such a little "cat" with his own eyes, no! It was a little fox, and he howled softly twice, and he scared away a group of fierce and violent snow wolves......

"Xiaoying, how strong are you now?

"In the words of you humans, this fox is now equivalent to a fourth-level spirit beast! Stupid and ignorant humans, they really don't know anything about strength by distinguishing strength so easily!"

"Level four, then, what level is that dead wolf and lion?"

"What kind of wolf and lion, that is the heaven-level spirit beast Extreme Ice Demon Flame Wolf and Red Flame Wolf, the emperor ...... among the spirit beasts"

"How many levels?"

"That's the emperor of spirit beasts, do you understand? Do you understand?" The fox in his arms suddenly stood up and stared at the human in front of him with big round eyes.

"What level is that?"

"You!" "Shadow regretted how it had signed a contract with such a human, although he had saved the injured human, but this human was really ......

It crouched down helplessly, turning its head away from the ignorant human.

"There are at least eight levels. ”

"Level 8!Xiaoying, so you're so weak! No wonder you almost got killed when you watched that wolf and lion fight!hahaha......"

Xiaoying is furious!

"You, you ignorant human being, this fox, this fox is just too young, this fox is the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit! You, a weak human who can be killed by any spirit animal, what qualifications do you have to say that this fox is weak? You are the ......?"

Xiaoying looked at the calm face of the human in front of her, and hung her little head weakly. This guy really doesn't understand anything... Silly human ......

Forget it! Sleep......

......

The night is still dark, deep and quiet......

Xiaoying had already fallen asleep, but he had just woken up and had to guard this dark night......

"Spirit, what the hell are you?" he muttered......

Here, he heard the most about this "spirit"!

People here also cultivate this kind of thing called "spirit", of course, not everyone can cultivate, I heard them say that only if you awaken a thing called "soul eye" before the age of thirteen, you can cultivate.

He didn't even know what this soul eye was, he was in a mixed mood right now, and he didn't know what kind of answer the owner of this realm would give him when he returned in a few days.

The owner of this territory is naturally Yexue's father, whose name is Yexiong, and he is titled King Sanssouci.

There are a total of twenty-seven lords in this Heavenly Wolf Empire, and under the collar is the city. The master of the Sky Wolf Empire is surnamed "Xiao", and he is enshrined as the emperor, and the lord of each lord is named the king.

These days, he also found that the world is actually quite normal sometimes, whether it is as big as the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, as small as flowers and trees, snakes, insects, rats and ants, they all operate or survive according to the laws he knows.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the rivers flow lower into the ocean, the trees and flowers grow towards the sun, and even the wild or raised animals are not much different from what he knew.

Of course, from Xiao Ying's mouth, he also learned that these ordinary animals were all mortal beasts, and they did not have a spirit core in their bodies, so they could not cultivate.

Sometimes he really can't tell whether this world is really illusory, there are too many things in this world that he can't understand, especially the mysterious "spirit".

Naturally, he asked them what the "spirit" was, but the answers he received were not the same.

When he asked Yeshan, who taught him to read and write, as a "senior", Yeshan said with a solemn face: "The spirit is a thick and simple earth, as long as you are down-to-earth, you can get the infinite power given by the earth if you are pious in your heart......"

The Spirit is the earth.

He asked Xiaolan, the maidservant who was cleaning up the room, but saw her face full of reverence and clasped her hands together and said, "The spirit is a gift from the gods, and only the kind sons of the heavens, such as Young Master Jun and Miss Bing, can obtain the power given by the gods. ”

The Spirit is a gift from God.

He also asked the ice beauty Yebing, but only heard her emotionless words, "The spirit is a cold and merciless flame." "That's gone? How much do you like ice, even fire can be described as cold?

Well, the spirit is the flame.

In the end, he asked Ye Jun, a sanctimonious guy, who had been serious and meticulous all day long after returning from the Forest of No Return. If he hadn't seen Yejun dancing with Yeshan's hands after refining that spiritual fruit, he would have almost been frightened by Yejun's personable and unruly appearance as a son of a family.

When he asked Yejun, Yejun probably thought that this "senior" was going to test his perception of the spirit, and he was very excited, and after pondering, he replied seriously: "The younger generation thinks that the spirit is like a passionate woman, you are dedicated and gentle to her, she will be gentle and considerate to you, and if you are half-hearted to her, she will explode like fire to you...... "Nima, what is this, his heart is like a thousand horses galloping by, the more he listens, the more confused, simply this "spirit", a hundred people can have a hundred words?

He also knew that the year of this world was the one thousand and one hundred and twenty-third year of the death of God. Legend has it that more than 10,000 years ago, the gods ruled the earth, and suddenly one day all the gods mysteriously disappeared, as for the reason is no longer known, that year was set as the first year of the gods' death, and the gods were not visible for 10,000 years after that.

Although this world is a bit mysterious, he scoffs at him to believe that there is a god in this world.

He felt that those so-called gods were either false rumors, or man-made gods for the sake of fooling ordinary people for profit, or a group of powerful people who claimed to be gods, all of them were pretentious humans or madmen......

......

He lay on the couch for a long time, or sleepiness hit, so he picked up Xiaoying and got up and walked to the room.

He walked into the room, picked up a white spar from the quaint wooden table against the wall, and inserted it into the unknown black metal groove on the wall, and the whole room brightened, but a ball of light appeared in a crystal ball embedded in the wall, and it was this inexplicable ball of light that illuminated the entire rich and luxurious bedroom.

The first time he used this light lamp, he was very excited, and kept pulling out the spar and plugging it in again, and so on, but he didn't see any principle.

Later, he also asked Yexue what it was, only to learn that this thing was called a light spirit lamp, and it used light spirit crystal, which was a very luxurious item. They are rarely used on weekdays, and only when entertaining especially distinguished guests.

Not to mention the expensive light spirit lamp, it is this light spirit crystal, a standard light spirit crystal costs as much as a hundred gold coins.

He didn't know the price of goods here, and after careful questioning, he learned that the income and expenses of an ordinary family of four would definitely not exceed ten gold coins a year.

On top of the gold coin, there is also a purple gold coin equivalent to the standard spirit crystal, which is the highest currency issued by the Empire. After all, this standard spirit crystal weighed one crystal, and he weighed it, almost the same as one pound in his hometown. It was inconvenient to carry such a heavy spar, so there were equivalent purple gold coins.

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that he seemed to have thrown a mountain of gold in the Forest of No Return? What was even more painful was that he, the high-spirited "senior", seemed to have allowed the three of them to dig up a lot of spars, and he didn't take any of them himself......

His "senior" is really expensive......
