It wasn’t that the Purple Lightning cub lacked courage—the stone giant was simply too powerful.

If Jun Changxiao hadn’t been chasing from behind, it would never have charged into the creature’s territory.

Gradually calming down and discovering that the big fellow was already dead, it swaggered out from behind its master with great fanfare.

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao leaped up and sat on the tiger’s back, patting the Purple Lightning cub’s head as he laughed. “From today onward, you shall be this seat’s personal mount.”

Witnessing the tiger beast’s completely docile expression represented that the Sect Leader had already subdued it!

The Iron Bones Sect disciples were both shocked and envious.

On the Xingyun Continent, having a contract beast was something martial cultivators dreamed of. Having a rare lightning-element fierce beast was beyond imagination!

The Sect Leader.

He truly was an extraordinary person!

“Wow!”

Ling Yuanxue exclaimed in admiration. “Sect Leader, you look so imposing!”

Indeed, the stylish-looking Purple Lightning cub was very effective at attracting girls’ attention.

However, Lu Qianqian was an exception!

She merely glanced once before turning away, continuing to comprehend the Nine Layers Ice Sealing Palm.

“Sect Leader.”

Su Xiaomo approached with a grin. “Can I pet it?”

Even as she spoke, her hand was already reaching out, but before she could touch the tiger’s fur, a crackling sound rang out.

“Thud.”

Su Xiaomo collapsed to the ground, her hair standing on end from the electricity, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

As the master, Jun Changxiao could ignore the Purple Lightning cub’s electricity, but outsiders definitely couldn’t touch it casually.

Li Fei and Tian Qi, who had been approaching, hastily abandoned their thoughts of touching it.

My goodness!

Senior Brother Su had been electrocuted so severely!

Night Starchen in the distance muttered to himself, “How did he form a contract with a Purple Lightning cub so quickly?”

Night Emperor had also possessed a contract beast in his previous life.

It was an avian-type sacred beast called the Azure Sky Jade Eagle. After his death and the dissipation of his path, that connection had been severed.

Back then, to subdue that creature, Night Starchen had battled it for three days and three nights at the Azure Plains Hill before defeating it, spending a full forty-nine days to forcibly establish the contract.

Indeed.

At that time, Night Emperor had only just stepped into the Martial Saint realm.

Later, the Azure Sky Jade Eagle became his dedicated mount. Whenever martial cultivators saw this beast appear, they would instantly realize that one of Xingyun Continent’s Ten Great Martial Emperors had arrived.

“Ah.”

Thinking of his contract beast, Night Starchen sighed and raised his head toward the firmament, thinking silently, “Old friend, are you well?”

The solitary Night Emperor had few friends in his previous life, with only the Azure Sky Jade Eagle accompanying him, witnessing his journey from Martial Saint to Martial Emperor.

After rebirth, if there was anything from his previous life he still felt attached to, it was the contract beast that had accompanied him for a thousand years.

“My soul hasn’t perished, so the contract mark remains.”

Night Starchen thought, “As long as my realm grows powerful enough, I’ll definitely be able to establish contact with the Azure Sky Jade Eagle.”

But there was one prerequisite—the contract beast must be alive.

Alive.

It must still be alive.

How could the contract beast of I, Night Starchen, possibly fall so easily!

…

As night descended, campfires were lit.

In just a few short days, Li Qingyang had thoroughly learned the Sect Leader’s techniques and was now skillfully rotating the roasting meat.

Jun Changxiao sat cross-legged beneath a tree, circulating the Muscle-Tendon Transformation Classic through the greater and lesser heavenly circuits, continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

After his spirit root improved to supreme grade, his absorption speed was five or six times faster than usual, causing him to marvel inwardly. “Doesn’t this mean that just by cultivating, it’s like constantly taking five-times Qi Gathering Pills?”

No wonder martial cultivators with high-grade spirit roots were fought over by all the sects!

“Ding! Side quest completed. Host has gained 500 contribution points.”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 1400/1000.”

“Ding! Sect contribution points overflow… omitting the rest.”

“Ding! Host has completed the time-limited task. Reward: one bottle of Supreme Grade Constitution Transformation Elixir.”

The five hours were up; the time-limited task was complete.

Jun Changxiao grinned. “Another bottle of supreme grade Constitution Transformation Elixir—very good, very good.”

“Swoosh!”

He opened the purchased items tab, planning to buy two more bottles of Constitution Transformation Elixir.

But after buying one bottle, the Supreme Grade Constitution Transformation Elixir turned gray, displaying—”This item limited to three bottles per year.”

What the hell!

The Constitution Transformation Elixir actually had a purchase limit!

The system said, “High-grade Constitution Transformation Elixir is far too heaven-defying. To prevent the host from creating too many supreme grade disciples and disrupting the balance of Xingyun Continent, purchase limits must be implemented.”

“Damn it!”

Jun Changxiao protested, “You gave me a system precisely to disrupt the otherworld’s balance, didn’t you!”

“Spiritual power convergence and absorption is a benign cycle. If too many supreme grade spirit roots appear, accelerating resource plundering, once it reaches a state of scarcity, major chaos will definitely ensue,” the system explained.

Jun Changxiao fell silent.

He had originally planned to buy another bottle, but now with the purchase limit, he could only give up on that idea.

So then.

Who should receive the reward and the two purchased bottles of Constitution Transformation Elixir?

Jun Changxiao first considered the inner sect disciples, but he also had to choose two from among Su Xiaomo, Li Fei, Tian Qi, and Night Starchen.

He’d give them to Su Xiaomo and Night Starchen first.

After brief consideration, he had made his decision.

Su Xiaomo’s strength was decent, and his speed was quite outstanding—suitable for prioritized cultivation.

Though Night Starchen had joined later than Li Fei and Tian Qi, during the trial in Death Valley, he had fully proven himself with his strength.

Especially when Xiao Zuiji was attacked by the Fire Dragon Beast—not hesitating despite his own injuries to rush over and provide aid. That single point alone was reason enough to give him one.

Look at that.

Night Emperor knew that Jun Changxiao had goods.

That’s why he performed so actively whether going to the Vast Qi Sect or training in the wilderness!

Opportunities weren’t waited for—they were fought for!

“Come here, come here.”

Jun Changxiao called the two over and tossed them the Constitution Transformation Elixirs.

“Many thanks, Sect Leader!” Su Xiaomo exclaimed excitedly.

Night Starchen appeared much calmer, but when he went alone to a secluded spot, he hastily opened and drank it.

Without question.

After the two consumed the Constitution Transformation Elixir, their spirit root constitution advanced from high grade to supreme grade, and their realms each rose by one level.

“This is too incredible!”

Though he had drunk it multiple times before, each time he felt his constitution improve, Night Starchen’s eyes still revealed undisguised shock.

Don’t think Night Emperor’s mentality was poor—because even if it were any other Martial Emperor, learning of an elixir that could instantly elevate spirit root levels, they would certainly be equally astounded.

…

“Swoosh!”

On the ground, a sharpened tree branch spun around, stopping when it pointed to the words “Refresh.”

“Ah.”

Jun Changxiao said helplessly, “This is destined by fate to make me refresh the shop.”

System: “…”

This guy had drawn a circle on the ground.

Nine-tenths of the area was labeled “Refresh,” with the remaining tenth labeled “Buy Transformation Elixir.”

Could he be any more obvious about wanting to refresh the shop!

“Can’t be greedy—I’ll just refresh 100 points worth.”

That’s what Jun Changxiao thought in his heart, but then he began scrolling through the shop and paid a painful price for his addiction.

Because he consecutively used 500 contribution points without getting anything good—all daily necessities!

500 points!

10 bottles of Constitution Transformation Elixir—gone!

Jun Changxiao’s heart bled as he roared, “Why the hell didn’t you stop me!”

System: “…”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden quest [Spending Extravagantly], gaining 100 achievement points and receiving the title [Spending Little Prince].”

“Ding! Contribution Points: 700/1000.”

“Ding! Title detected. Automatically matching for host. Please check data panel for details.”

Jun Changxiao’s lips twitched.

So spending large amounts of contribution points could complete hidden quests!

But what the hell was this title?

Jun Changxiao hastily opened his data panel and saw that after “Sect Leader: Jun Changxiao” there was now the suffix [Spending Little Prince].

Clicking on the name brought up a small attribute panel that read—

Host: Jun Changxiao.

Luck Value: 1.

Title: Spending Little Prince.

Title Attribute: Luck Value +1.

The system said, “The sect system upgraded to level 3, unlocking the host’s luck value viewing function. The higher the luck value, the more good items will appear when refreshing the shop.”

“Holy crap!”

Jun Changxiao despaired. “Without this title’s +1 point, wouldn’t my luck value be 0?”

“Therefore.”

The system said, “With 0 luck value, being able to refresh a sniper rifle and Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the host must have saved the galaxy in a previous life.”
