Fey Evolution Merchant

Night Leaning Moon waved her hand and tossed a box carved out of white jade to Liu Jie.

Liu Jie looked through the white jade box and saw a subtle layer of rainbow light on the interior.

When he saw the rainbow light, Liu Jie felt a strange sense of familiarity. It was as though he had seen it not long ago.

Liu Jie made a guess to himself.

Liu Jie opened the white jade box to see a glowing rainbow mass nestled inside.

The glowing rainbow mass was the legendary sacred source lifeform.

He was shocked and slightly frightened to receive this from his new Master.

Liu Jie did not accept the white jade box with the sacred source lifeform inside.

Instead, he placed it on Night Leaning Moon’s table and said, “Master, I haven’t fulfilled the first condition of reaching the top ten in the Radiance Hundred Sequence and gaining the right to be a Radiance Envoy.”

Night Leaning Moon waved her hand again.

A few petals immersed in soft blue light appeared on the table.

The underside of the petals was as blue as the sea and was dotted with glistening flower sap. They carried a refreshing comfort that could soothe souls, and it seemed like they had only just recently fallen.

“Since you address me as Master, I need to carry out the responsibilities that come with the title. How can my disciple be without a sacred source lifeform? You’re already past 20 years old, which makes you more than capable of contracting sacred source lifeforms. The flower sap of these Blue Snow Soul Fragrance petals can protect your soul and allow you to contract the sacred source lifeform without a problem. You won’t have to suffer soul damage. Why don’t I protect you now while you contract the sacred source lifeform?”

While Liu Jie had spoken with courtesy and honesty, Night Leaning Moon had spoken with utter nonchalance.

For some reason, when Night Leaning Moon heard Liu Jie address her as Master, she experienced a new feeling. It was the feeling of having a sense of responsibility.

This feeling of responsibility was surreal to Night Leaning Moon. It was different from the overwhelming sense of responsibility she felt as the Chief Guard of the Spirit Guards. The responsibility of being a Master was more exquisite.

In the past, Night Leaning Moon had never had a legacy, but now with Liu Jie as her disciple, she did.

He was someone to whom she could directly pass down her legacy.

Night Leaning Moon used to think that the Moon Empress was overly doting of her disciple.

Once she became a Master, Night Leaning Moon understood why the Moon Empress did what she did.

It was why she naturally retrieved the Blue Snow Soul Fragrance’s petals.

Liu Jie was floored by the situation. He stared at the blue petals on the table and smiled dazedly when he heard the name Blue Snow Soul Fragrance.

He was unfamiliar with the term.

Liu Jie had never heard of the Blue Snow Soul Fragrance, but it had to be special if it could aid in forming a contract with sacred source lifeforms.

Liu Jie could tell from the way that his Master gently held the Blue Snow Soul Fragrance that it was rather valuable.

“Master, the first choice…”

Before he was done speaking, Liu Jie heard Night Leaning Moon casually say, “If you weren’t my disciple, I would be more discerning about what I gifted you. But now that you’re my disciple, there will no longer be any holds barred.”

Night Leaning Moon rose to her feet, grabbed the sacred source lifeform inside the white jade box, and thrust it into Liu Jie’s hands.

“Forming a contract with sacred source lifeforms is a detailed process. A blood contract will not be enough. Blood contracts allow you and the sacred source lifeform to form a blood bond, but the blood bond does not have contractual obligations. It only establishes an equal connection.” she said solemnly.

Sacred source lifeforms were outrageously wise and had their own sense of morality. Hence, using blood to seal the deal on such a level of blood contract would not be ideal.

Liu Jie reached out his hand and rubbed the back of his head with a wry smile. He only knew of sacred source lifeforms, but his knowledge about them was limited.

For example, he did not know about the contract process. To someone like Liu Jie, who never dared to hope to possess a sacred source lifeform, it was natural that he was ignorant.

When Night Leaning Moon saw the look on Liu Jie’s face, she picked up the Blue Snow Soul Fragrance petals and said, “The best way to contract sacred source lifeforms is to use your own bone marrow to form what is known as a marrow contract.

“Marrow contracts can tame sacred source lifeforms, but your soul will feel pushback from the sacred source lifeforms. Every sacred source lifeform possesses fragments from the other world across the dimensional hub and carries a kind of complete law. The law has a similar ability to the truth.

“Although most people’s souls are fully matured by the time they reach 20 years old, they are still unable to sustain the clash against sacred source lifeforms.

“However, with these monarch-class Creation Blue Snow Soul Fragrance petals, you’ll be able to use your marrow to form the blood contract with the sacred source lifeform without worries.

“During the contract process with the sacred source lifeform, you will need to allow it to be subsumed into your soul in order to forcefully tame it. This will require some time. But with these three Blue Snow Soul Fragrance petals, you should be able to form the contract in a few hours.”

Night Leaning Moon’s voice was as lyrical as an oriole’s. She patiently and seriously cleared all of Liu Jie’s doubts. He might not have asked any verbal questions, but she could decipher his queries from his expressions.

With Night Leaning Moon’s elucidation, Liu Jie now understood how to form a contract with the sacred source lifeform.

He also became aware of why the Blue Snow Soul Fragrance was precious.

Not only was the Blue Snow Soul Fragrance a spiritual ingredient from a Creation Breed fey, but its ability to protect souls already made it invaluable.

The soul had always been shrouded in mystery. Spiritual ingredients that could protect souls were far and few.

They were one of the most sought-after items by top-level spirit qi professionals.

Since he had become Night Leaning Moon’s disciple, Liu Jie mulled for a while before saying, “Thank you, Master.”

After the battle surrounding the evolving dimensional rift, Liu Jie had become acutely aware of where he was lacking.
