Chapter 580: Chapter 261: Ancient Treasure Beast, Breakthrough, Secret (Part 3)

After a brief pause.

Fu Changli’s expression suddenly became solemn.

Looking steadily at Ningning:

"However, this cultivation technique, Ningning, you must remember, it must not be passed on to anyone else, not even your mother or brother, understood?"

The "Ten Thousand Spirits Heart Control Scripture" is an Earth-Tier Technique that can be cultivated to the Golden Core Stage. If other noble families were to know, the Fu Family would likely face immediate disaster.

Then.

Fu Changli quickly whispered something to Ningning.

Upon hearing this, Ningning almost let out an exclamation.

With this Earth-Tier Technique.

Why should she worry about Foundation Establishment, she was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion.

Evidently.

Her fourth aunt regarded her as a true core member of the Fu Family, hence she passed on such a precious cultivation technique to her.

Of course.

She understood in her heart.

The fourth aunt was not driven by instant affinity, but passed on the "Ten Thousand Spirits Heart Control Scripture" to her for the sake of her father.

Additionally, a copy had already been transcribed in advance:

"Thank you, fourth aunt, Ningning will work hard in cultivating and will certainly not let you down."

Ningning excitedly received the book with both hands.

Fu Changli reminded:

"After you memorize the techniques of the first four layers, there’s no need to keep the book, it should be burned directly."

Ningning obediently nodded.

Fu Changli then said:

"I have to go to the city to handle some miscellaneous affairs shortly, so while there’s still some time, I’ll help you form a contract with the Wood Flying Squirrel."

Ningning was only at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Forming a Spirit Beast Contract still required the help of an array.

If she were to study and arrange the array herself, it would probably take several months of effort.

"Thank you, fourth aunt."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The Wood Flying Squirrel also seemed to sense the solemn moment about to arrive, its tiny eyes filled with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, its little claws tightly clutching Ningning’s clothes.

Fu Changli waved her sleeve.

Several array flags fell down.

With a quick gesture of the technique, the Spirit Beast Contract Array was completed in less than half an hour: "Ningning, you should slowly inject your Spiritual Power into the array, maintaining the stability of your Spiritual Power, which is the key to the success of the contract."

Ningning nodded, following Fu Changli’s instructions, closed her eyes, and mobilized the Spiritual Power within her body.

Her Spiritual Power flowed like a gentle stream from her fingertips into the array. The array began to shimmer with a soft glow, which gradually spread to envelop the Wood Flying Squirrel as well.

The Wood Flying Squirrel trembled slightly in the light, yet showed no sign of retreat.

Seeing this, Fu Changli said:

"Drip your blood into the array."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Ningning snapped her forefinger, and a drop of blood shot from her fingertip, falling at the center of the array, where it instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, merging with the light of the array.

At this moment, the Wood Flying Squirrel also bit its own small paw, a tiny drop of squirrel blood flew into the array.

The two kinds of blood intertwined and merged within the array, and a strange rune slowly emerged where the blood mingled.

Fu Changli’s eyes lit up: "Quick, inject your Spiritual Power into that rune to complete the final contract binding."

Ningning focused her mind and injected more Spiritual Power into the rune. The rune flickered faster and faster, its light growing increasingly dazzling, until it abruptly flashed and transformed into a stream of light that burrowed into the Wood Flying Squirrel’s forehead.

Simultaneously, Ningning felt a close bond forming within the depths of her soul with the Wood Flying Squirrel; she could sense its emotions, and it could understand her thoughts.

After the contract binding was complete, the light of the array gradually dissipated.

The Wood Flying Squirrel excitedly hopped around on Ningning’s shoulder, occasionally rubbing its small head against Ningning’s cheek.

Fu Changli smiled as she watched this scene:

"Alright, now the Wood Flying Squirrel is your contract spirit beast. In the future, you must work well together, enhancing each other. Although the Wood Flying Squirrel is not a Treasure Beast, it has its unique qualities which you should strive to discover."

Ningning was very pleased: "Thank you, fourth aunt, I certainly will."

Fu Changli still had miscellaneous affairs to attend to.

She advised Ningning to thoroughly understand the "Ten Thousand Spirits Heart Control Scripture", then with a flicker, she left the Star-Receiving Tower.

"Phew."

As soon as Fu Changli left.

Alone now, Ningning couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

The Star-Receiving Tower contained several secret chambers, and she headed to her Quiet Chamber, took out her Identity Token, and sent messages to her mother and brother as soon as the array deactivated.

Entering the Fu Family.

Turned out to be even better than she had imagined.

At least for now, it was such.

Ningning spent two months comprehending the "Ten Thousand Spirits Heart Control Scripture", and during this time, whenever she encountered something she didn’t understand, she would exit seclusion to consult Fu Changli. Feeling she had almost grasped it, within the Quiet Chamber, she began sitting cross-legged as described in the cultivation method, with her heart directed towards the heavens, guiding her Spiritual Power along specific meridian routes to flow slowly.

Initially, the process of cultivation was not smooth.

The "Ten Thousand Spirits Heart Control Scripture" was vastly different from the "Water Ni Celestial Scripture" she had practiced before, with distinct meridian routes, and even the mana seemed unwilling to obey her command.

But she didn’t give up, repeatedly attempting to familiarize herself with the new Spiritual Power operation routes.

Just when she felt somewhat fatigued, and the circulation of Spiritual Power was at an impasse.

Suddenly.

A mysterious energy was transmitted from the Wood Flying Squirrel on her shoulder.

This energy was like a clear spring, pouring into a dried-up riverbed, and the previously somewhat chaotic Spiritual Power instantly became docile, circulating swiftly and orderly along the meridians.

Ningning felt a surge of comfort within her body, and her once-stalled cultivation progress seemed to be infused with powerful motivation, rapidly advancing.
