surging of spiritual energy within his palm, a Yin Yuan smaller than a grain of rice rapidly formed. It then immediately transformed into Yang Yuan, and then back into Yin Yuan again. Within just a fe...However, at this moment, Amber's situation seemed rather grim. A gigantic gray eagle stood before her, its head bowed as it peered down at her. Its eyes held a calculating gleam, as if weighing up whether the small creature before it... was worth eating!

Hupo's form was quite burly, but compared to the gray eagle in front of him, it seemed diminutive. Compared to the two ferocious beasts, Hupo was almost just as big as a house cat's paw.

Look at the size of this gray eagle.

>>

Thinking this, Lu Ye hurriedly walked forward.

The gray eagle noticed something, turning its head to look at Lu Ye. The scrutiny in its hawk-like eyes deepened.

Huóba also saw Lùyè, turning around and standing between Lùyè and Huīyīng. Beside her, a cultivator looked on in pain at the scene.

"Are you a senior brother from Cangming Mountain" Lu Ye stepped forward and inquired. The person who came had strong strength, at least a ninth-layer cultivator of the Earth-level technique, otherwise he wouldn't be able to send Amber all the way here.

"Yes," the man nodded slightly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Greetings, Senior Brother!" Lu Ye bowed. "Thank you so much for escorting me all this way."

"Just passing by," the man chuckled. He looked up and down at Lu Ye, praising him, "Brother Lu is indeed blessed with outstanding features. Your performance in the battle at Jinguang Peak was truly inspiring."

"Senior Brother, you flatter me."

It's over, I guess from now on I really will have to go around the Nine States known only as "Yè".

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, but the Cangming Mountain cultivator still had business to attend to, so he bid farewell and left. Lu Ye once again expressed his gratitude.

As he watched him disappear into the distance, Lu Ye looked up at the grey eagle who had been standing beside him. The other party also lowered his head to look at him, then bowed down, its beak gently touching Lu Ye's forehead twice. He didn't know what it meant, and with a flap of its wings, it flew away quickly, landing on the peak of a mountain not far away.

Only after the hawk had left did Amber relax, walking up to Lu Ye and rubbing her head against him.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Bixue Sect!" Lu Ye patted Amber on the head. This was said to Amber, but also to Yiyi.

Ignoring the surprised glances of the passing cultivators along the way, Lu Ye strode back to the Heavenly Mechanism Hall and stood before the Heavenly Mechanism Pillar, fiddling with it for a while.

He quickly understood that this was a spirit contract, which could forge an inseparable bond between cultivators and their spirit beasts. This way, the spirit beast could follow the cultivator in and out of the Lingxi battlefield. For example, Amber was a demon beast born on the Lingxi battlefield. Without this spirit contract, it wouldn't be able to leave the Lingxi battlefield and travel to the Nine States.

This is rather magical, it reminds Lu Ye of the Heavenly Machine Contract Li Baxian had summoned before.

Whether it's a Heavenly Pact or a Pet Pact, they can't just appear out of thin air. Where do these things come from Why can we simply invite the Heavenly Machine and it appears What even is the Heavenly Machine

He probed the information within his battlefield insignia.

Name: Lu Ye.

Location: Lingxi Battlefield.

Honor: 943 points.

His achievements had changed dramatically. He remembered that after killing Dong Shuye, his achievements were less than 400 points. Now they were almost a thousand.

All of Da Tou’s achievements naturally came from his victory atop Jinguang Peak. He fought forty-three consecutive battles on Jinguang Peak, killing at least thirty enemies. Apart from the first opponent who was a fifth-level cultivator, the rest were all sixth-level cultivators. Each victory earned him twelve points of merit, and the final battle even awarded him twenty-one points.

>>

One hundred points of merit is no small feat. Although Lu Ye's current merits are close to breaking a thousand, earning them wasn't easy. These merits represent his achievements along the way.

Although Yiyie and Amber had known each other since they were young, and Lu Ye was able to escape death several times thanks to Amber's speed, he still wanted this Favor Contract. Even if it cost him all his merits, Lu Ye wouldn't even frown.

As Lu Ye's mind stirred, a milky white vortex appeared before the Heavenly Mandate Pillar, slowly rotating. At the same time, Lu Ye's merit points decreased by one hundred.

He reached into the vortex and pulled out an ancient, weathered piece of parchment.

According to the information he had received previously, he bit his fingertip and pressed it onto the beast skin paper. He activated his spiritual energy and aimed at the confused amber, striking the beast skin paper with it.

After a moment, the fire died down. Lu Ye clearly felt a new connection between himself and Amber. This connection allowed them to sense each other even when they were not too far apart. Lu Ye also seemed to be able to perceive Amber's thoughts more clearly.

This pet contract is quite mysterious.

Without delay, Lu Ye brought Hu Po back to the main sect of Bi Xue Zong.

The news spread quickly, and many casual cultivators became worried...

In the Tianji Hall, Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother were still waiting. When Lu Ye and Amber appeared together, Li Baxian smiled and said, "Look who it is"

"Little Grey" Lu Ye was stunned, then quickly reacted. Li Baxian was talking about the gigantic grey eagle. He twitched his eye corner: "Who named it"

Such a majestic and fearsome beast, yet it is given such a haphazard name...

“That was the spirit pet Master Senior Brother subdued back in the day,” Li Baxian explained with a smile. “After Master Senior Brother left the Lingxi Battlefield, it stayed at the base camp, which is why Second Senior Sister told you not to worry about the base camp. Right now, Bi Xue Sect’s base camp doesn’t have much of value, and with Xiao Hui guarding it, the outer circle sects wouldn't dare to cause trouble during their downtime.”

"Between words, he tossed a jade slip to Lu Ye: 'I've written about the general situation in the garrison on this. Take a look when you have time. As the Garrison Commander, cultivating within the garrison is still very beneficial, especially since your cultivation base is relatively low right now.'"

Lu Ye took the jade slip, nodded slightly, and then suddenly remembered something. He patted Amber's head: "Come out and say hello to my second senior sister and fourth senior brother."

Shui Yuan and Li Baxian looked at Amber in confusion, not knowing how it wanted to greet them.

At first, their expressions were puzzled.

But soon, both of them looked surprised.

Yīyī's figure slowly drifted out, a little shy. She spoke in a soft voice: “Greetings, Second Senior Sister, greetings, Fourth Senior Brother!” She didn't know how to address Shui Yuān and Lǐ Bāxiān, so she followed what Lù Yè had called them.

In the battle of Jin Guangding, Yiyi never showed her face. This was mainly because showing her face wouldn't have been helpful, and she is a spirit, making it inconvenient to appear before people.

But here it doesn't matter, whether it's the second senior sister or the fourth senior brother, they are all their own people.

Li Baxian looked at him for a while before turning to Lu Ye, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Not bad, little junior brother!" with an expression that all men understand.

Lü Yè then explained, "Yi Yi is a spirit companion that accompanies Amber. Along the way, she has helped Amber and me a lot."

"A spirit," Shui Yuan asked curiously. With her experience, she had never seen anything like Yiyi before. Curious, she walked forward and gently pinched Yiyi's arm. To her surprise, it felt just like touching a real body. However, she could tell that Yiyi was indeed a spirit, able to transform between the ethereal and physical realms.

Shuian and Li Baxian's scrutiny made Yiyin feel uneasy, she looked to them for help.

Su Yuan patted her head: "Since he's your little apprentice brother's partner, he's from the Bi Xue Sect. Consider this place your home from now on."

Her words seemed to have a powerful calming effect. Yiyi looked at her steadily, her eyes slowly turning red, and then nodded vigorously.

From now on, I have a home! Looking back on the day I decided to leave Qingyun Mountain with Lu Ye, my heart is full of joy.

Li Baxian winked at Lu Ye, then went outside.

Lu Ye strode to keep up.

Suddenly, a stone flew out of nowhere and hit Li Baxian's forehead with incredible speed.

Visibly, Li Baxian had a large lump on his head. He seemed unaffected and turned to look at Lu Ye with the lump still prominent: "It's good that you've been diligently cultivating on your own this whole time, but the most urgent matter right now is to determine your own sect affiliation. Have you given it much thought"ter what he chooses next, the Wan Mo Ridge will definitely not let him go.Just like before, as soon as he arrived at the Tianyan Sect's base, he was poisoned by a dark agent from Wanmo Ridge.Since the...
