Chapter 391: Chapter 387: Communication with Spirits Method Chapter 391: Chapter 387: Communication with Spirits Method Xie Yuxin, learning about the trouble he had stirred up in the market and failing to find him at the tavern, should have been able to guess his whereabouts.

Shen Luo did not go directly to the Heavenly Pit Tavern, but instead took a large detour. Along the way, he passed near a stream and even dived into the river to travel a long distance underwater using the Water Repelling Technique before he finally made his way around and arrived in front of the Heavenly Pit Tavern.

The Heavenly Pit Tavern was peaceful, making it hard to imagine that a bloody battle had taken place here not long ago.

He did not stay long at the Heavenly Pit Tavern and again entered the Heavenly Pit. He quickly arrived at the place where he had secluded himself before, selected a hidden spot to sit down, his expression thoughtful.

Having offended the Bishui Sect and those two disciples from Mount Putuo, although he was not afraid, he had to guard against possible retaliation.

However, he had just broken through to the Mid Grain Avoidance Stage, and it was impossible to further increase his cultivation level in the short term. To improve his strength, he had to rely on external forces.

Even though he had gathered all the materials for the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, he still lacked Spirit Fire so he could not refine it.

“Fortunately, I bought materials for drawing talismans in the market.” Shen Luo found a large flat stone and took out the materials needed for the Binding Talisman, Fractured Talisman, Armor Horse Talisman, and other talismans and put them on the stone.

He closed his eyes for a moment, calmed down his spiritual sense, and began to make talisman papers. He then mixed the talisman ink and started to draw talismans.

Unconsciously, it was already noon the next day when he finally stopped.

The talisman materials he had purchased in the market were all used up. The results were pretty good – he obtained five Binding Talismans, six Fractured Talismans, and about nine Divine Armor Horse Talismans and Wind Barrier Breaking Talismans.

As for the lowest level Small Thunder Talisman, he also drew around twenty or thirty of them.

“Although these talismans are good, they are more of support talismans and lack offensive power. The Small Thunder Talisman is weak in power. It's a pity it is not stormy weather now, otherwise a few Thunderfall Talismans would have made things more secure ,” Shen Luo regretfully said. He dutifully stored these talismans in the stone box, prepared to get up, but his movement suddenly froze.

“How could I forget about Beast Taming? After advancing to the Grain Avoidance stage, I could communicate with up to three creatures and could now connect with yet another mid stage Grain Avoidance demonic creature,” he said.

The moment he remembered this, Shen Luo immediately sat down. He carefully put away the talismans, closed his eyes to adjust his breath for a moment, and rapidly recovered his spirit to its peak condition.

With a wave from Shen Luo, water flow turned into a water blade in the void, digging a hole in the ground.

Then Shen Luo used his technique, and a stream of water shot in from outside and poured into the pit.

He reached his hand into the water pit, activated the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits, and swiftly found himself in a spiritual realm.

A “ding dong” ripple later, numerous blue light spots emerged and floated in all directions. Among them, the largest one – the size of a basin – quietly floated in the spiritual space, notably eye-catching.

“Now I am near the Eastern Sea, and this blue light sphere should be it. The Eastern Sea is teeming with the Demon Race. I think I will just choose one from here and see if I can find any with a higher level of cultivation.”

As Shen Luo was deliberating, he spread his divine sense over, and his eyes blurred as he found himself in an expansive blue space, immediately beginning his search within.

There were numerous animals in the East Sea. After some searching, he quickly found a monstrous creature in the Late Grain Avoidance stage.

“This one won't do; it has just broken through to the Late Grain Avoidance stage,” he said, quickly discarding the creature after a brief examination, and continued searching for other creatures. He quickly encountered another Late Grain Avoidance demon.

“This… won't work either. Judging by the fluctuations in its breath, it's probably a demon that mainly relies on strength.” Shen Luo gave up again and continued his search.

After a while, he finally found a demon. Its breath reached the peak of the Grain Avoidance Stage, and its demon energy fluctuated complexly and weirdly, surpassing the few demons he had met before. It should have some unique abilities.

“This is the one!” Shen Luo immediately activated the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits, and countless black runes rolled towards the opposite side.

“Who dares to disturb this master?!” A roar of anger came from the opposite side, showing that the demon's spiritual wisdom was already wide open.

“I am a disciple from Mount Fangcun, I wonder if you would be interested in forming a Soul Contract with me? I have no intention of enslaving you, I just want to find some help.” Shen Luo hesitated a moment, trying to communicate with it.

“Impudent! A mere human monk, dares to communicate with this master!” The demon on the other side was furious, letting out a sharp roar.

Shen Luo murmured to himself, sure enough, he no longer tried to communicate with it, but used the Art of Spirit Communication to oppress the other party's spirit.

The demon on the other side continuously roared in anger, struggling to resist.

With the experience from Dreamland, Shen Luo had already mastered the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits. Moreover, he had just consumed and refined the True Dragon Essence Blood not long ago, and now he carried a hint of Dragon's Might, which allowed him to suppress the demon on the other side even more.

After half a day, the demon on the other side finally couldn't resist any longer and let out a submissive sound. Shen Luo's mana was now left with about 10%.

Shen Luo breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly activated the Art of Spirit Communication, formed a Spiritual Communication Seal, and transmitted it over, thus signing the Soul Contract.

After doing this, he stopped using the Art of Spirit Communication, closed his eyes and focused on replenishment, recovering his mana quickly.

He opened his eyes, summoned a stream of water with a seal, reached into it, and silently summoned the summoning technique.

The water sphere soon began to shake. Centred around his palm, a vortex of water formed, with a black water hole appearing in the middle.

“Open!”

Shen Luo yelled, the black water hole swelled a bit in size, a wave of pinkish demon qi seeped out from within. Then, a demon about two to three feet long slid out from the hole.

This being had a resemblance to sea cucumbers found on the seashore, but it was magnified countless times. The upper half of its body was pink and covered in bone spikes. The lower half was soft, with short meaty footpads. It had a pair of dark green tiny eyes on its head, barely opened, staring at Shen Luo as its mouth kept wriggling shut.

“My name is Shen Luo, may I ask your name?” Shen Luo glanced at the demon before him and asked.

Its shape was somewhat peculiar, and based on his understanding of the Demon Race, it should possess very unique abilities.

“Hmph! Boy, don't think you can make this master submit by merely using your despicable Human Race Spirit Communication Technique to suppress me. We, the Eastern Sea Aquatic Race, will not yield to you humans,” the sea cucumber retorted angrily.

“I just explained that I have no intention to enslave you. I have been targeted by a group of vicious people recently and I had to enhance my combat capability a bit, that's why I communicated with you. I will remove the contract after this period,” Shen Luo frowned and said slowly.

“Hmph! Cunning humans, you think I'd believe you?” the sea cucumber sneered, a trace of sly light flashing in its tiny eyes.

“Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. However, this Spirit Communication Technique of mine was taught by High People, if I die, you will die along with me. So I advise you not to think of any tricks,” Shen Luo's tone also cooled down.
