"You're not willing?"

Feeling Li Xiaoyao's undisguised intense murderous aura, Zhu Jiuyin's massive body couldn't help but tremble. After a long silence, ultimately forced by Li Xiaoyao's threat, it said, "I am willing."

"Very good," Li Xiaoyao revealed a satisfied smile, holding the talisman paper, and commanded, "Close your eyes and concentrate, holding your breath."

Zhu Jiuyin did as told. Li Xiaoyao squeezed out a drop of blood onto the talisman paper, and with a light flick of two fingers, the paper stuck to Zhu Jiuyin's head.

At this moment, two voices simultaneously arose in the minds of Li Xiaoyao and Zhu Jiuyin.

"Do you wish to become the master of Zhu Jiuyin?"

"Do you wish to become the servant of Li Xiaoyao?"

"I do."

Zhu Jiuyin's body trembled, struggling mightily within. Li Xiaoyao watched coldly.

If it truly didn't want to accept the contract, then Li Xiaoyao would have had to kill it.

Anything that threatened him could not be left alive.

"I... am willing."

"Ding!"

"The master-servant contract has been established."

Opening his eyes, Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhu Jiuyin with satisfaction, the murderous aura in his eyes having dissipated entirely.

From this moment on, this beast was his.

Li Xiaoyao had never imagined that he would one day have a servant from the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

It felt very good.

"Master, my body is too large. If I follow you, I fear it will bring about the pursuit and killing by those cultivators," Zhu Jiuyin expressed its concern.

"Can't you transform into a human form?" Zhu Jiuyin's cultivation level was already so powerful, could it really not transform?

Zhu Jiuyin said with a bitter smile, "To transform into a human form, one must be a demon beast of the Nascent Soul Realm, or take a Transformation Pill."

"A Transformation Pill, you say? Let me see if I have one."

"Master, you have a Transformation Pill?" Zhu Jiuyin first blinked in surprise, then was overjoyed.

Nearly every demon beast hoped to one day reach the Nascent Soul Realm and then transform into a human form.

Once transformed into a human, they could cultivate just like humans, and this was of immense help, regardless of whether it was the speed of cultivation or the cultivation of the moral heart.

After searching in the system for a while, he finally found a Transformation Pill among the Seventh Grade pill medicines.

"To think it is a Seventh Grade pill medicine! No wonder Zhu Jiuyin with its level of cultivation couldn't get one. A Seventh Grade pill medicine, even amongst cultivators, could fetch a sky-high price!" As Li Xiaoyao saw the astronomical price of 50 million under the Transformation Pill, he felt a sting in his heart.

The spirit stones in the system were dwindling one by one.

But while spending 50 million on a Transformation Pill that was of no use to him personally seemed excessive, Li Xiaoyao still thought it was worth it.

Zhu Jiuyin had submitted to him out of concern for its safety; this Transformation Pill was a great opportunity to win over its heart.

"Ding!"

"Purchase of Transformation Pill successful."

Li Xiaoyao pretended to rummage through his storage ring and then took out a pill medicine that was as green as jade and the size of a fist.

"Eh, I almost lost my life trying to obtain this pill back then, but since it's useful to you, go ahead, take it. Now that you and I are one, as long as there's food for me, you'll definitely not be left out," Li Xiaoyao declared righteously, nearly moving Zhu Jiuyin to tears.

"Thank you, Master."

Regardless of whether he hated Li Xiaoyao for establishing a master-servant contract with him, at least for now, this master seemed to be quite nice to him.

A Seventh Grade Pill Medicine, the Transformation Pill, probably couldn't be produced by anyone on the entire Earth.

Those who could refine a Seventh Grade Pill Medicine were, at the very least, Seventh Grade Alchemists. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

This almost heaven-defying existence, with a casual wave of the hand, would immediately have a crowd of people bowing down at their feet, ready to take orders.

Zhu Jiuyin swallowed the Transformation Pill, and his body suddenly burst into beams of light.

Li Xiaoyao stepped back beside Nie Xiaoqian and muttered to himself, "This beast isn't about to transform, is it?"

Nie Xiaoqian looked at Li Xiaoyao with slightly complex eyes. This man had grown so much in such a short period of time.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he grew to a point where even she would have to look up to him, right? By then, he wouldn't need her anymore.

With this thought, Nie Xiaoqian felt a touch of sorrow, but there was nothing she could do about it.

The light faded, and Zhu Jiuyin's massive body had disappeared.

A man in a dark red robe stood in front of them, his face stern.

The man had a tall and slender build, handsome features, and long dark red hair, with a pair of narrow eyes shimmering with a sinister gleam.

He looked down at his own body, revealing a satisfied smile, then walked up to Li Xiaoyao and said respectfully, "Master."

Li Xiaoyao stared at him, then cursed, "Damn, he's even more handsome than me!"

Zhu Jiuyin slightly raised his chin with a smug look and feigned humility, "Just average."

Crap! Now he's showing off.

Li Xiaoyao felt annoyed and coughed lightly twice before saying, "You don't have a name yet, right? I'll give you one... um... let's call you... Candle."

"Candle?" Zhu Jiuyin asked blankly, "Why that name?"

Li Xiaoyao bluffed solemnly, "Ancient people used to refine snake oil for candles, and if I remember correctly, the 'Zhu' in Zhu Jiuyin means candle, so, Candle is befitting of your status, both pleasant to the ear and not commonplace."

Nie Xiaoqian covered her mouth and chuckled softly at the side, while Zhu Jiuyin opened his mouth, feeling as if he had swallowed a dog.

"No, I don't want to be called Candle." Zhu Jiuyin protested, "I am a king among snakes, even if I take a name, it should be something grand."

"What do you want to be called then? I'll give you ten seconds; if you can't think of anything, we'll stick with Candle," Li Xiaoyao said with the attitude of a dictator.

Zhu Jiuyin, in a fluster, scratched his head and thought hard until a spark of inspiration came, "Jiuyin, let's go with Jiuyin."

"Jiuyin?" Li Xiaoyao looked puzzled, "What kind of rotten name is that? So edgy?"

Hearing this name, Li Xiaoyao felt an overwhelming wave of adolescent awkwardness wash over him.

"Whatever you say, if you like it, then use it. But I'll still call you Candle, it's easier to remember." Regardless of whether Jiuyin liked it or not, Li Xiaoyao was going to do as he pleased.

Zhu Jiuyin hung his head, wanting to protest, but then he thought of the monstrous strength of his master, which was completely incongruent with his own cultivation level, and his heart immediately lost any will to rebel.

Looking around, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Which way did we come from?"

Zhu Jiuyin pointed listlessly in a direction: "Over there."

Glancing back at the towering stone platform reaching into the clouds, Li Xiaoyao forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "Then, let's head back."

The three figures slowly disappeared into the desert, and as they left the desert and looked back, the barren land had vanished, replaced by green grass and flowing water.

Li Xiaoyao wasn't too surprised; some things were probably predestined, whether this experience was an illusion or reality. He knew that he had a mission to fulfil.

What this mission was, he may not know for now, but he believed it wouldn't be long before everything became clear.
