Chapter 1384: 668

Tang Lingxi stood up and gave Fang Mu a respectful greeting.

“Ah Yuan always mentions you, Little Wood. Now we finally have the opportunity to meet!”

“This time Ah Yuan notified me at the last minute to come over. My cooking skills are no worse than any outside chef.”

“You should also try my cooking next time!”

Tang Lingxi was serious and cold when handling affairs.

But in her daily life and interactions with others, Tang Lingxi was always very gentle.

Fang Mu quickly went forward to offer Tang Lingxi a hand and said.

“Sister Lingxi, this is indeed our first formal meeting, my second brother has kept you hidden too well before!”

After saying this, Fang Mu took out a bracelet set with densely packed pink-purple crystals from the Purple Ice Crystal Ring and handed it to Tang Lingxi.

“Sister Lingxi, I heard from second brother that you are a healing Beast Master. This bracelet can enhance your healing abilities.”

“In times of danger, the Beast Spirit inside can also actively protect your safety.”

Previously, when facing Mo Shang, Fang Mu had not prepared any gift, as Mo Shang is Dragon Mother’s grandson and had easy access to all sorts of top-notch resources.

Moreover, at that time, Fang Mu did not have any gifts that were particularly suitable for Mo Shang, so he just gave Mo Shang an Infinite Silver Silkworm and invited him to join the Infinite Tower.

Now facing Tang Lingxi, Fang Mu giving a gift to Tang Lingxi is not just polite but more so an expression of Fang Mu’s acceptance of her.

It lets Tang Lingxi know that the Fang Family is very welcoming and happy to have her join their big family.

Tang Lingxi did not immediately take the Sequential Spiritual Instrument Fang Mu handed to her but looked towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan nodded at Tang Lingxi.

“Sister Lingxi, this is Little Wood’s thoughtfulness, you should accept it.”

Fang Yuan did not immediately discuss with Tang Lingxi what Fang Mu had mentioned before.

These matters could wait until after the dinner when he would find an opportunity to talk to Tang Lingxi slowly.

Fang Yuan believed that Tang Lingxi would be delighted to find out and would cherish the opportunity.

Initially, Tang Lingxi was a very cheerful and confident person, but ever since she found out Fang Mu was a disciple of the Saint Creator, she became increasingly self-conscious when interacting with him.

Fang Yuan tried many ways but to no great effect, and this state of affairs if it continued for a long time, would not be favorable for his relationship with Tang Lingxi.

Once Tang Lingxi becomes a disciple of the Grandmaster Creator, everything will surely turn around.

Two people in love always share some similarities, and Fang Yuan feels that what he shares most with Tang Lingxi is the frighteningly high pride in each other.

The long-overdue family dinner made Fang Mu feel extremely comfortable.

After the dinner, Fang Mu agreed with Yan Wood to take a walk around The Capital.

Yan Wood bought a lot of snacks in big and small packages, thinking Fang Mu would like them, preparing to pack them for Fang Mu to take away when he leaves.

Fang Mu enjoyed such times very much and was exceptionally happy.

The next afternoon, Du Rui and Yang Paiyun’s assistants arrived at Jianmu Commerce Association and brought the Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beasts to Fang Mu.

Fang Mu, Fang Yuan, and Fang Qin jointly selected two Ghost System Beasts that were most suitable.

Next, Fang Yuan, Fang Qin, and Yan Wood would all go into retreat to complete the contract with the Ghost System Beast.

Fang Mu had already distributed the Prayers to Heaven’s Tears a long time ago, and the three of them had already used it.

Among them, Fang Yuan was the luckiest, achieving the highest increase in Soul Energy through Prayers to Heaven’s Tears.

After contracting with this Ghost System Beast, Fang Yuan should be able to increase his spiritual power further in a few years and proceed to contract with a new Ghost System Beast.

With the help of Prayers to Heaven’s Tears, Fang Qin and Yan Wood had less growth in Soul Power.

After a few more years, they would only be able to contract with one more Ghost Device.

By then, Fang Mu will create a Ghost Device for the two of them with an integration rate of over ninety percent.

Having such a Ghost Device would not result in much less enhancement of one’s strength than contracting with an additional Ghost System Beast.

Fang Mu didn’t rush to leave; instead, he prepared to assist Fang Yuan, Fang Qin, and Yan Wood in contracting the Ghost System Beast.

Contracting a Ghost System Beast necessitates soul protection.

Previously, when contracting a Ghost System Beast, if not for Fang Mu possessing Twin Souls, which was uncommon,

he might have been impacted by the energy carried by Yan Yubanruo, resulting in soul damage.

At that time, Fang Mu contracted Yan Yubanruo fearlessly, due to ignorance.

Fang Mu later learned that many who contracted Ghost System Beasts ended up with soul damage due to the beasts themselves.

Fang Mu had on hand various Spiritual Materials to enhance Defense Capability of the soul; using these, he could ensure his elder brother and sisters wouldn’t be affected after contracting a Ghost System Beast.

Fang Mu informed Fang Yuan, Fang Qin, and Yan Wood about the dangers of contracting Ghost System Beasts, seeing it necessary for them, as the parties involved, to be informed.

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately took it seriously.

Fang Qin spoke up first.

“Then let me be the first to contract it!”

“After I’m done, I’ll share my general experience with you two to help you prepare!”

“Plus, I am the oldest and my Soul Energy is the strongest!”

Hearing this, Fang Mu inwardly criticized himself for overstating the dangers out of concern.

He hurriedly said,

“I’ve already contracted a Ghost System Beast and I have the Spiritual Materials provided by our master. With these at hand, even without using Prayers to Heaven’s Tears, there will be no problems. Moreover, you’ve already contracted and used Prayers to Heaven’s Tears!”

“Any one of you three can contract it first!”

Upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, Fang Qin was reassured, and eventually, Fang Yuan went forward to contract the Ghost System Beast.

The Heaven Calamity Series Ghost Beast that Fang Yuan was contracting looked quite special, with Thunder Energy visibly shifting shapes atop its form.

Fang Mu first lit a piece of jade-like Submerged Water Incense in the quiet room, then took out a piece of Soul-stabilizing Snow Ginseng and spoke to Fang Yuan,

“Elder brother, take this Soul-stabilizing Snow Ginseng with this bottle of Spiritual Elixir.”

“After fifteen minutes, when you feel the chill has completely enveloped your soul, you can begin to contract the Ghost System Beast using your Soul Power!”

Following Fang Mu’s instructions, Fang Yuan consumed the Soul-stabilizing Snow Ginseng.

The taste of the Soul-stabilizing Snow Ginseng was unpleasant; it was so spicy that Fang Yuan’s tongue went numb.

However, after eating it, Fang Yuan felt a surge of chill arise from his stomach, wrapping around his soul.

Fang Yuan felt his soul was exceptionally comfortable!

After the chill fully enveloped his soul, Fang Yuan reached out with his Soul Power towards the Thunder-attributed Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beast.

Fang Yuan had high expectations for the contract with the Ghost System Beast.

Fang Yuan, who greatly valued personal strength, believed that contracting this Ghost System Beast could turn his strength upside down, possibly propelling him to a completely new level.

Soul System Spiritual Materials like Soul-stabilizing Snow Ginseng are extremely precious, and using them to contract a Ghost System Beast seemed almost extravagant.

The resplendent purple flames, flecked with gold, rolled over the eggshell in front of Fang Yuan, who was also enveloped in the brilliant Ghost Flames unique to Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beats.

A man with one long and one short horn on his head crashed his fists through the eggshell.

This man was dressed in a luxurious purple-gold half-body armor with a kilt long enough to protect the ankles below.

Behind the man were two large drums, from which thundering sounds echoed continuously.

Even though the drums were not yet struck, thunder and lightning had already formed a five-square-meter pool of Thunder Energy beneath the feet of the Ghost System Beast.

As the Ghost System Beast opened its eyes, the energy in the pool of Thunder Energy began to interweave, continuously changing into an array of shapes.

This change was clearly linked to the abilities of this Thunder-attributed Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beast.

Fang Mu employed the Eye of Omniscience to examine the status of the Ghost System Beast.
