Contractual Spirit Ghost

Below the video, countless people commented and liked it. The number of clicks also skyrocketed, with almost 30% of those browsing the campus network watching the video, and the number of viewers continues to increase.

Song Shuhang secretly wiped away a bead of sweat—he remembered that Joseph Guy Maupassant's daughter was a student at the Jiangnan University Town, right? What would her reaction be if she saw this video?

My first reaction would definitely be to tear apart that bastard Zhuge Yue who posted the video!

Her second reaction would definitely be to tear apart the "nameless master" who taught her father "China Kung Fu," right?

Fortunately, when he taught Joseph kung fu, he didn't reveal his full name, otherwise Joseph's daughter would have come after him!

In the afternoon, Song Shuhang went to class obediently. He felt a little embarrassed because he had been skipping so many classes lately.

Tubo leaned closer and whispered, "Shuhang, what have you been doing these past few days, all secretive? You haven't even gone back to your dorm."

Beside him, Lu Fei also looked at Song Shuhang with curiosity. Lu Fei had come to cool off when he came to class.

"A friend of mine came to visit not long ago, and I helped him find a place to live. I've been going to his place quite often lately to help him out," Song Shuhang said with a smile. He was telling the truth, but this 'friend' was rather extraordinary.

Gao Moumou pushed up his glasses and said, "Shuhang, don't ask for leave these next two days. These two days are for summarizing the key points for the semester exams. The final exams are on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and we'll have a holiday on July 6th. If you fail, you'll have to stay and retake them, which will be a lot of trouble."

Final exams? Oh my god, I almost forgot about them!

Song Shuhang rubbed his temples hard. Ever since he truly came into contact with the cultivators of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', his life had undergone earth-shattering changes. Refining the Body Tempering Liquid, the Altar Master Incident, the Immortal Farmer Sect Incident, the Moon Saber Sect Incident, receiving True Lord White upon his return from seclusion—in just over a month, he had experienced more exciting things than an ordinary person could ever experience in a lifetime. Not to mention, he had chopped off several heads.

Looking back, it feels like my recent experiences have all been a dream.

Then... he almost forgot that his main job was still being a student. A semester was about to end, and summer vacation was just around the corner. But before welcoming the wonderful summer vacation, he still had to face the final exams.

I need to review my lessons properly these next couple of days!

"Are you confident you'll pass?" Tubo asked, leaning closer.

"Don't worry, the final exams will definitely be no problem for me," Song Shuhang said confidently.

Li Yangde chuckled and said, "Tubo said the same thing last year. Then he had to stay behind for a make-up exam, and I even stayed behind to tutor him."

"Don't expose my hardships, Yangde!" Tubo punched Yangde hard.

Gao Moumou turned around and asked, "So, what are your plans for the summer vacation?"

Tubo said, "What else? Just like before, I'll go home and tinker with my dad's mechanic shop. They've brought in a lot of new machinery this year; that'll keep me busy all summer."

Sure enough, as soon as Song Shuhang arrived, the temperature around here dropped to a very cool level, which was quite strange.

Li Yangde said, "I have to attend a press conference. The new program we're developing in collaboration with others is nearing completion. I'll be busy with this for the next month or two."

Gao Moumou immediately wore a pained expression. "Hey you two, doesn't either of you know how to 'enjoy' life? Aside from machines and procedures, shouldn't you be finding a place to have some fun during the wonderful summer vacation? Beaches, plateaus, snow-capped mountains, the deep sea, islands! Life is short, shouldn't you be having a blast while you're young?"

Li Yangde looked at Gao Moumou with a strange expression. "What's the point of doing something as pointless as traveling, which is a waste of life?"

"You're hopeless, in every sense of the word!" Gao Moumou sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Tubo tilted his head. "Okay, you're treating?"

"It wasn't my treat... it was that kid Zhuge Zhongyang." Gao Moumou chuckled, then winked at Song Shuhang and gestured towards Lu Fei.

Song Shuhang immediately realized that Zhuge Zhongyang had finally found a place for a date and was now planning to invite Lu Fei's sister on a sea trip.

"Is the address confirmed? Do you need any help?" Song Shuhang asked.

"Go deeper into the Eastern Sea, there's a newly built artificial island, which is said to be quite nice. After you get tired of it, there are several countries nearby to choose from, so you can go wherever you want. We'll talk about the specifics after the exam," Gao Moumou chuckled.

"Okay, just call me if you need help," Song Shuhang replied.

In the afternoon classes, everyone around me was busy taking notes on the key points the teacher emphasized during class. These points were basically the questions within the exam scope.

Song Shuhang rested his chin on his hand, multitasking.

While secretly circulating the True Self Meditation Scripture to purify and enhance their spiritual power, they could also easily memorize what the teacher had taught.

Lu Fei glanced at Song Shuhang secretly. She initially thought he was listening attentively, but upon closer inspection, she realized he seemed to be daydreaming. Lu Fei was both amused and exasperated.

After class.

While his three roommates were packing their things, Song Shuhang got up and stretched.

"Shuhang, would you like to borrow my class notes?" Lu Fei asked quietly.

"Oh? No need, I've memorized it all," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

"Okay, let me know if you need it." Lu Fei considerately put her notebook away. After thinking for a moment, she helped Song Shuhang back to the dormitory.

Behind him, Gao Moumou pushed up his glasses. "You've already hooked up with her, huh?"

"I think it was after the last time with the Ten-Fragrance Fish Head, tsk tsk, Song Shuhang is such a hypocrite. He kept saying no, but then he even held hands with her," Tubo whispered.

Song Shuhang sighed inwardly, rationally remaining silent...

*********************

After parting ways with his roommates, Song Shuhang returned to the Medicine Master's building.

Doudou wasn't in the room—it probably went to investigate that handsome, burly guy, as agreed. We'll soon find out whether he's a cultivator or an ordinary person.

Senior White sat in front of the computer, his fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard.

"What are you looking at, senior?" Song Shuhang asked casually.

"All sorts of things—movies, novels, classics, China history, world history, and so on. I've been in seclusion for over 150 years, and I need to quickly familiarize myself with the common sense of this world. I must say, with the internet and computers, learning about common sense has become very simple," Venerable White said with a smile. Because he often went into seclusion, he was very experienced in 'how to supplement the common sense of the New World after seclusion'.

"How do you feel about the world now? Compared to more than a hundred years ago?" Song Shuhang asked with a smile.

"Yes, technology is advancing rapidly, but at a great cost. And... novels and literary works are much more interesting than they were 150 years ago. In this era, people's ways of thinking and their creativity have exploded." Venerable White nodded silently.

Because in ancient times, the only things available were novels and historical fiction, Senior White was more receptive to written forms like novels compared to movies and television.

"Haha." Song Shuhang nodded and laughed -- with the popularization of online novels, authors' imaginations have become increasingly wild and unstoppable.

"However, there are still some things that concern me." Venerable White smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"For example?"

"A eunuch? A poorly written ending?" Venerable White chuckled.

"..."

"Let's not talk about that anymore, young friend Shuhang, come here for a moment!" Venerable White closed his laptop and beckoned to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang approached him, puzzled.

Venerable White extended his slender fingers and pulled out the 'Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl' hanging around Song Shuhang's neck. "A mid-grade or higher Spirit Ghost, not bad quality. Why don't you form a contract with it?"

"I'm just waiting for your guidance on how to contract Spirit Ghost," Song Shuhang replied. "When I first obtained Spirit Ghost, I even doubted the existence of cultivators. Later, I was fortunate enough to obtain the materials for the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar,' but I hadn't even completed the Foundation Establishment stage. Finally, just as I opened my Heart Aperture and completed the Foundation Establishment, Senior Medicine Master had to leave. So, no one has yet guided me on how to contract Spirit Ghost."

"That's perfect, I'll teach you! I'm so grateful for your help all this time." Venerable White smiled and said, "Tonight at midnight, when the Yin energy is at its strongest, I will help you set up the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar.' Before that, I will explain to you the principles of the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar,' how you should do it, and how to deal with the backlash from Spirit Ghost during the contract process."

"Great!" Song Shuhang said happily, gently grasping the 'Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl' on his chest.

Finally, the time has come to make a contract with the Spirit Ghost!

"However, senior, I only have two sets of materials for the Contract Spirit Ghost Formation," Song Shuhang.

"Two sets? Hmm, that should be enough if all goes well. It's alright, they're all pretty easy to collect anyway. Even if you fail twice, I can take you around the world to collect more materials for the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar'," Venerable White laughed.

With Senior White's words as a reassurance, Song Shuhang immediately felt much more at ease!

With a solid foundation comes greater confidence!

Subtly, the chances of success increased significantly.

*********************

The hour of Zi (11 PM to 1 AM) is approaching.

Song Shuhang opened his eyes, ending the cycle of the True Self Meditation Scripture. He had adjusted himself to his optimal state, feeling full of Blood Qi and vitality.

Senior White took out the cloth robe inscribed with the formation, and then pointed to it, making a few modifications to perfect the formation.

Next, place the Five-Element Stone in the five corners of the formation, and the Lightning-Struck Wood in the center. Many other miscellaneous materials representing the five elements are also placed according to their respective attributes.

"Take the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl and place it on the Lightning-Struck Wood. Then activate the formation according to the incantation I taught you," Venerable White instructed, holding the 'Ghost Dragon Saliva' in his hand.

Song Shuhang carefully placed the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl on top of the Lightning-Struck Wood.

Recite the incantation aloud.

Seizing the opportunity, Venerable White opened the bottle containing the Ghost Dragon Saliva and poured it onto the array robe and the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl. When the Ghost Dragon Saliva landed on the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl, it was like splashing it onto boiling iron, instantly producing a cloud of white mist.

The next moment, the white mist condensed and took shape, transforming into the Spirit Ghost that had once condensed the 'Golden Buckler'!
