Zhang Xiaoman thought of one of his props, which he had not used since he was drawn.
That's the Osmanthus Pill drawn together with Tazenzhan!
When it was drawn, it was just a white-level item, and its effect was to increase the life of the spirit beast by one year.
Now, with the upgrade of Zhang Xiaoman's skills, the level of this item has also been upgraded to blue, just shy of reaching the purple level.
Being able to increase longevity is a very powerful attribute, but it can only be used by spirit beasts, which is a bit frustrating.
However, the price of Osmanthus Pills is not high, it only costs ten points.
Zhang Xiaoman had watched Dahei grow up after all. Now that his life was about to end, since he could help him, he would naturally help him.
However, if Dahei wants to achieve the effect of eating Osmanthus Pills, it also needs a few prerequisites, that is, it must be a "spiritual beast".
According to past experience, if you want to be judged as a spiritual beast by the system, you must first sign a contract with the other party.
Jinbao was like this at the beginning. After being successfully contracted by Zhang Xiaoman, he could be regarded as a spiritual beast and could learn some skills that only spiritual beasts can learn, such as lightning strikes.
However, the definition of spiritual beast seems to be far more complicated than this.
But this is not what he needs to think about for the time being. The top priority is to rescue the dying Dahei.
Zhang Xiaoman reached out and grabbed it, and there was a distortion in the void. Two items fell from it and fell into his palm, as if he had taken them out directly from the void.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoman purchased two props through the system mall, one is Osmanthus Pills, and the other is the skill light ball - Contract: Psychic Technique.
The two items cost him a total of 20 points. They were both white grade, so the cost was not huge.
Contract: Spiritualism is what he plans to learn from Master Liu.
After learning it, you can actively contract pets to become spiritual beasts, and you can also spend dark energy to summon them to your side at any time.
However, Liu Ye doesn't have dark energy yet, so he can't use the summoning ability for the time being.
"Sixth Master, this is for you."
Zhang Xiaoman threw the skill light ball to Liu Ye and explained how to use it.
Pei Laoliu has long known that his grandson is extraordinary, and he has seen some wonderful things in Longmian Mountain during this period, but now that he suddenly saw this hand of his, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, please don't stay still. If you wait any longer, Dahei may not be able to be saved."
Zhang Xiaoman reminded him.
When Pei Laoliu heard this, he immediately came to his senses. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed the method the other party just said.
With a strong force in his hand, the white ball of light was immediately crushed, turning into dots of fluorescence and sinking into his body.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and waited for Master Liu to contract Daheixian into a spiritual beast.
"Chirp!"
An excited voice suddenly reached his ears, and blue figures the size of a palm flew in from outside the woods.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
As soon as the little guy came over, he rushed towards the osmanthus pill in Zhang Xiaoman's hand.
It first used its two small paws to pull at it a few times. When it couldn't pull it away, it simply opened its mouth and bit it in one bite.
Zhang Xiaoman quickly retracted his hand to prevent this little guy from succeeding.
"Jiujiu, don't make trouble, this is not for you to eat."
The little fox understood his master's words and immediately stopped moving, but his face still looked like he was thinking about it, and he looked at the osmanthus pill in his hand with pitiful eyes.
Zhang Xiaoman also didn't expect that this summoned object derived from a skill would be interested in Wanzi.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, feed this to Dahei quickly. He should be fine after eating it."
Pei Laoliu had completed his contract with Gouzi at this time.
Although Dahei seems to have his eyes tightly closed now, his consciousness is actually still there, and when he feels the request from his master, he still gives feedback.
When the osmanthus pill in Master Liu's hand came close to Dahei's mouth, Gouzi, who had always had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Although it looked like it was very difficult, it still forced its head up, opened its mouth, and tried its best to stick out its tongue and lick the small green ball twice.
"It's working, it's working!"
Pei Laoliu suddenly became excited.
Although he hasn't been fed yet, Dahei can react, which can already explain a lot of things.
I gently stuffed the meatball into its mouth, and there was no chewing action from the dog. After a few seconds, it slowly stood up, and then stood up again.
"Really, it can really increase longevity..."
Seeing this scene, Ye Yunxiu on the side felt as if he was in a panic at the same time, and the expression on his face was almost gone.
"Chirp~"
Jiujiu whimpered softly.
Its eyes were staring at the sweet-scented osmanthus pill the whole time, like a cat staring at a furball toy.
Finally, when it saw the small green ball entering the mouth of the big black dog, it reluctantly looked back, looking as if it was hopeless.
"Woo~"
Dahei let out a whimper, raised his two paws and put them on Pei Laoliu's legs, and stuck out his tongue to lick the other person's face.
Pei Laoliu stared blankly at his dog for a long time, then came back to his senses, reached out and touched the dog's head back and forth, and said no other words or actions for a long time.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and simply exchanged three more Osmanthus Pills from the mall. He threw two to Dahei and one to Jiujiu.
The lost look of this little thing was almost unbearable, so he simply gave it one and saw how the summoned creature of this skill ate, and what changes would happen after eating it.
Needless to say, Dahei took two sweet-scented osmanthus pills and gained two more years of life. He also regained a lot of energy and started to jump up and down.
The little fox Jiujiu hugged the little ball given by his owner and chirped happily, then flew into the air and kept a distance from the dog, as if he was afraid that it would come to snatch it.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah~"
The little fox is as big as a palm and can squeak when eating, and its whole body is blue and translucent. After biting the osmanthus pill, you can't see where the food went, as if it was absorbed directly. Average.
"Huh? The evolution points have actually increased?"
Zhang Xiaoman observed the situation of Jiujiu for a while, and finally found at the bottom of its attribute column that it had one more evolution point.
"One evolution point, which is 10 points, is equivalent to drawing it once when I upgrade..."
Zhang Xiaoman quickly calculated the ratio and found that if he fed Jiujiu meatballs, he would not lose at all.
And if you want to upgrade this skill at a fixed point in the future, you can directly feed a large number of pellets, eliminating the risk of random selection by the system.
"It seems that obtaining evolution points does not necessarily require the upgrade function. Does that mean that other skills can also be upgraded in corresponding ways...?"
He immediately thought of a possibility.
However, this thing still needs to be explored by oneself, and it may be difficult to find the answer in a short time.
Looking at Mr. Liu who was still combing his dog hair, Zhang Xiaoman decided not to disturb him for the time being, and left here with Ye Yunxiu and Jiujiu.
On the way, Ye Yunxiu always seemed hesitant to speak. Zhang Xiaoman saw what he wanted to say and spoke first:
"Mr. Ye, I know what you want to say, but unfortunately, the thing just now can only work on spiritual beasts, but has no effect on humans."
Ye Yunxiu's expression froze when he heard this, and then he nodded with a wry smile.
He fell behind and looked at Zhang Xiaoman's back in front of him. He recalled what had just happened and was shocked again.
"As expected of the Star Master, no wonder he chose today to come here. It seems that not only did he expect emergencies in the United States, but he also took care of things on Master Six's side. It's really true. What a calculation, no wonder even I can’t see through him..."
There was a look of awe on his face, and he recalled some of the tests and analyzes he had done on the other party, but all of them had no results.
It was as if everything this person showed was shrouded in a hazy shadow, making it like seeing flowers in a fog, unable to see through him.
Those things that are revealed on the surface seem to be deliberately revealed by the other party to show them to themselves.
Ye Yunxiu thought a lot at that moment, but no matter what he thought, there was a feeling that "things shouldn't be like this".
It's like a chain, interlocking but endless.
No matter which angle he analyzed the other party, he seemed to be able to find another layer of hidden meaning. In the end, he summed it up in four words - unfathomable!
But what Ye Yunxiu didn't actually know was that he was just overthinking.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiaoman did deliberately reduce contact with him in order to prevent him, a psychology expert, from seeing the flaws.
But later, with the realization of his various words and the improvement of his strength, the Star Alliance was no longer an empty frame, and they did not deliberately ignore him.
But because the Lord of Shadows was passive, he subconsciously blocked the other party from tracking him.
This resulted in Ye Yunxiu sometimes forgetting and making mistakes while analyzing information about Zhang Xiaoman.
In addition, he is an extraordinary person with strong mental power and suppression at the life level, which makes Ye Yunxiu feel a great pressure in the next few contacts with him.
Ye Yunxiu is also studying psychology, so thinking about problems is always more complicated.
When he believes that a person's calculation ability is equal to or even exceeds his own, he will always think about the problem through repeated bending angles.
These multiple factors led to the current misunderstanding.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoman is not yet aware of Ye Yunxiu's roundabout way of thinking. Anyway, for him, some things are already facts in themselves, and there is no fear of being seen out.
Ye Yunxiu is also one of his own. As long as he hides his dignity, there is nothing else to worry about.
The two walked around the main peak, and Zhang Xiaoman took the opportunity to check the recent construction progress here.
Many new houses have been built. They are all retro-style buildings. They do not look out of place and can be well integrated with the environment of Longmian Mountain.
When the disciples who stayed here saw them passing by, they would always be the first to salute and say hello.
They don't know the Star Touching Ceremony. The current way of saluting is Long Mianshan's bowing ceremony, but it fits well with their clothes.
Everyone has already met this kind of person wearing the fearless uniform, and they also know that the person in front of them is "Lord Ji Xing", a person who even the leader Ye Cang respects extremely.
The disciples didn't know what a "Star Lord" was, so they imagined him as a true disciple of a hidden sect and a cultivator with great magic power.
The reason why Longmian Mountain has undergone such changes today is also because of the existence of this hidden sect.
It was precisely because of them that Long Mianshan was able to successfully start the path of cultivation.
Now is just the beginning. In the future, as disciples of Shanuchi, everyone will have the opportunity to embark on a truly extraordinary path.
However, although these people's ideas are not quite right, the general direction is correct. This is also Zhang Xiaoman's short-term development goal for this branch base.
After lunch, when he was about to leave, Pei Laoliu suddenly came over.
"Xiao Man, I really want to thank you for the Dahei matter... You also know that I have never had anyone around me, Mr. Liu, and usually this little bitch can listen to me... It cost you so much Pill..."
He talked intermittently for a long time, but he didn't make it clear what he meant.
This was the first time Zhang Xiaoman saw Mr. Liu’s coquettish posture, and he was not only amused but said:
"Sixth Master, are you here to thank me? Hey, when did you become so polite? Those pills are not precious things. You don't have to be like this."
When Pei Laoliu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then stared.
"You brat, where did you want to go? Where did you want to go? I'm not here to thank you! Didn't I... see you were leaving? I just came to say goodbye to you!"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled, knowing that Mr. Liu was being tough again, so he didn't want to expose it. He chatted with him for a while and planned to teleport away.
When he was about to activate the skill, he saw the expression on Master Liu's face, and suddenly for a moment he understood the mood hidden behind it.
Zhang Xiaoman knew that Mr. Liu really wanted to know these things about himself.
After all, it is impossible for an old man who has been in the fortune-telling business for his whole life not to be curious about the truth after learning that there are real monks in this world.
However, due to his previous instructions, Mr. Liu himself was also a person who knew what was right, so he naturally did not ask more questions in this regard to embarrass him.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Mr. Liu and his mother are his only two relatives. Now the world is about to undergo great changes. Keeping some things hidden from him is not an option.
He hesitated for a moment, and then thought that Mr. Liu also had system skills now, and would be more or less the target of alien species in the future.
It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to lead the other party on the path of cultivation, so that he can protect himself in the future.
He made up his mind, then looked at Master Liu and said:
"Sixth Master, let's go. I will take you to a new place today so that you can see what I have achieved in recent times."
