Chapter 5: Familiar Training

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Xuan was lying on the new bed while Little Moon was lying beside him with her head on his chest. Her breathing was light and steady, completely different from how she was jumping up and down.

She would only be so obedient and quiet when she was asleep. When she was awake, she ran around like a wild horse.

Zhang Xuan was holding the Qi condensation manual that he had bought from the cultivation world. He had been thinking about it for a long time, but in order to take care of Little Moon’s emotions, he had things to do in the shop and delayed it.

After all, considering the difference in the structure of the two worlds, he didn’t know if there was spiritual energy. Thus, Zhang Xuan subconsciously focused on his familiars.

Now, the opportunity to cultivate was right in front of him. Whether he could control his sword to kill his enemies in the future would depend on today!

Although he had never practiced it before, he had firmly memorized the Qi-gathering skill in his mind over the past few days.

Zhang Xuan closed his eyes. Following the instructions in the book, his consciousness sank into his body and found the position of his dantian.

As expected, it was empty inside. There was nothing.

He was ready to start the first step, communicating with the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

‘You must succeed, spirit Qi!’ Zhang Xuan kept repeating this in his heart. He had never heard of the concept of ‘spirit Qi’ on the Blue Planet since the cultivation method of familiars was very different from the cultivation world.

He did not refer to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but to elemental powers, such as wind, thunder, lightning, space, time, and so on. This was why Zhang Xuan was worried about the existence of the five-element spirit Qi on the Blue Planet.

However, when his consciousness carefully poked his head out of his body like a hook, he realized the answer.

Not only that, but he was also very fierce. The air around him seemed to have been sucked out at an unbelievable speed, and it quickly entered Zhang Xuan’s limbs and bones. Then, it gathered in his lower dantian through his meridians.

Due to the rapid influx of spiritual energy, a tiny vortex was formed in his dantian. It trembled slightly, and the gas became more and more dense, gradually condensing into a white mist. The white mist then flowed out from his dantian and fed back to his meridians, clearing the impurities and breaking them down.

If Zhang Xuan could see his own meridians, he would have noticed that some of the originally turbid lines had started to turn into crystal clear rays of light after being washed by the white mist.

An indescribable feeling spread from his dantian to his limbs. Zhang Xuan felt as if he was floating in the air. He had never felt so relaxed.

‘So this was cultivation?’

Zhang Xuan stopped using his inner sight and looked at his hands in excitement. Although the changes weren’t huge, his skin seemed much whiter than before. Things that couldn’t be seen in the distance became clearer after he focused.

All these characteristics indicated that he had already entered the beginner level of Qi Gathering, and was only one step away from level one Qi Gathering!

“How long has it been?” He was just about to check the time when the first ray of the morning sun shone in. “F*ck, only one night has passed?”

However, after not sleeping for a night, Zhang Xuan didn’t feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, he felt refreshed.

“Get up. It’s time for training,” he said as he lifted Little Moon’s neck.

…

Fengye Beast Cultivation Center, training room.

“Get on the scooter and test the speed. Don’t run around blindly.”

“I told you to get on the accelerator. Why did you jump into the refining pool?”

“Stop it, Little Moon. I’m begging you. Can you stop for a while?”

He had originally wanted to let Little Moon try out the intensity of the training before the contract was formed, and then familiarize herself with life after becoming a familiar. However, he was stuck in the first step of the physical test.

Ever since she had gotten used to the pace of life here, Little Moon had become more and more mischievous. She was extremely curious about everything and refused to train at all. It was the same for the next few days.

“What’s wrong?” Looking at the Silver Moon Wolf that was still like a wild horse, Zhang Xuan’s brows furrowed.

It would be fine if it was just day-to-day activities, but training was something that couldn’t be taken lightly. If a familiar didn’t undergo all sorts of training, it would be very difficult to activate its potential during the process.

This meant that unless Little Moon awakened naturally, it would be very difficult for her to grow…unless she took drugs. However, taking drugs was also a huge expense.

Realizing this, Zhang Xuan had a headache. Was he really going to sell it? The selling price was enough for him to buy another familiar with a more reliable personality.

But just as this thought appeared, Zhang Xuan shook his head. Not to mention whether the familiars here were as compatible as Little Moon and him, it would be a lie to say that he didn’t care for Little Moon after spending time with her. Sometimes, she was more sensible.

For example…

For example…?

Hiss… There didn’t seem to be such a time!

Even so, he could still tell that Little Moon was a little playful, but when he was not around, she was not active at all. Due to this and the rarity of her bloodline, Zhang Xuan decided to form a contract with her. However, for now, he would try to use the communication ability of the familiar space.

“Little Moon, come here!” Zhang Xuan waved at Little Moon and called out.

Although Little Moon didn’t understand, every time Zhang Xuan did this, it would rush over and hide in his arms. This time was no exception.

Zhang Xuan held up Little Moon’s head and looked into her clear blue eyes, saying solemnly, “Let’s form a contract.”

Then, through the spiritual connection in the familiar space, he transmitted his emotions to Little Moon’s mind. His tone was as if he was saying ‘let’s get married’.

Little Moon didn’t know how to react, but she could read the emotions in Zhang Xuan’s eyes. However, she didn’t know how to express it, so she turned around and licked Zhang Xuan’s long fingers.

She seemed to have sensed Zhang Xuan’s determination and hesitation.

After a simple attempt, Zhang Xuan realized that Little Moon had become more sensible. She took the initiative to complete the day’s training.

However…

Zhang Xuan looked at the report and frowned.

[ Agility 98 (+6) ]

[ Strength: 82 (+4) ]

[ Constitution 76 (+3) ]

[ Elemental Attribute: Wind ] (weak)

The familiars’ first day of training was also known as bone-breaking, and generally, there would be a relatively large improvement.

However, Little Moon was different. Her basic ability value was relatively high, and her agility had exceeded 100 after training. The average three-dimensional value of her cubs at the same time was only about 70.

But the rate of growth was nearly half as fast as the other transcendent familiars.

The books had mentioned this before. The familiars had different physiques, so their training methods would be different. If the basic training methods had little effect, it was likely that special training methods would be needed.

To put it simply, he had to spend money, which was too inefficient. There was not much time left before the college entrance examination.

Although Little Moon had no problem passing the college entrance examination with her current strength, she still had a long way to go before she could get better results.

It seemed like he still had to find a way to buy some familiar materials.
