Should You Sign a Contract with Me and Become...

Chu Chu entered the No. 5 fork in the road, remaining extremely Vigilance the entire way.

As she ventured deeper, she noticed that mist had appeared in passage number 5... ordinary mist, containing neither spiritual power nor toxins.

But the more ordinary the fog, the more careful one should be—the very appearance of ordinary fog in the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations' is a strange thing in itself.

[Such dense fog, it's a water-attribute constitution. And it looks like a very rare pure water attribute.] A jade eyeball quietly followed behind Chu Chu, keeping a certain distance so that she wouldn't notice.

That was one of the Four Cultivations.

After Chu Chu traveled a little further, a change occurred at the No. 5 fork in the road.

Four figures exuding demonic energy blocked Chu Chu's path. These four figures were half-human and half-beast, and their strength was all at the Second-Grade Qi Sea Dantian realm, two minor realms lower than Chu Chu's.

Chu Chu rested her hand on the short sword on her thigh, her gaze calmly fixed on the four half-human, half-beast demons before her.

"Roar!" The half-human, half-beast demons charged forward with ferocious cries, their eyes bloodshot and devoid of reason, like wild beasts.

Chu Chu took a deep breath, drew her short sword, and murmured in a voice only she could hear, "In my entire life, I will only forge one sword."

As she finished speaking, the short sword in her hand emitted a 'humming' sound.

The short sword thrust out, and Mystic Sword Formula was unleashed.

A single thrust of the sword contains twenty-seven different variations, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against.

Four mindless orcs were no match for such swordsmanship.

With a single move, swords were thrust into their eye sockets, their energy piercing directly into their brains and severing their life force.

"Woo-woo~~" The half-human, half-beast demons let out a mournful cry. The next moment, their figures suddenly dissipated, turning into mist and merging into the thick fog around them.

Chu Chu gripped her short sword, remaining on guard.

After a long while, once she was sure there were no other demons lurking around, Chu Chu put away her short sword.

At this moment, she felt a faint pain in her chest. Although her injuries were almost healed thanks to the two ointments from the Medicine Master, she still had some aftereffects from being killed by 'Whale Eight' while holding his sister in his arms. After each intense action, Chu Chu would feel a faint stinging pain in her chest.

After sheathing her short sword, Chu Chu continued forward.

The fog grew thicker, and this time it contained an indescribable energy.

Even when Chu Chu focused her inner energy on her eyes, she could only see things within a ten-meter radius.

She continued forward with even greater caution.

After walking about fifty meters, ten more orcs with demonic aura blocked their way. They were still only at the initial stage of the Second-Grade. As soon as they appeared, they snarled and pounced on Chu Chu.

Chu Chu calmly made her move, unleashing Mystic Sword Formula that killed the ten orcs.

After that... continue for another fifty meters, and even more orcs will jump out to block your path.

Chu Chu struck again, swiftly and cleanly eliminating the orcs.

This process is repeated ten times in total.

Chu Chu killed ten waves of orcs, each wave larger than the last.

"They can't keep killing like this forever, can they?" Chu Chu thought to herself.

Just as she was thinking this, suddenly, her eyes lit up.

The next moment, she had already left the misty passage.

They appeared in front of a tomb.

It's a very simple stone tomb, without any fancy decorations. It looks like a powerful cultivator used great magic to hollow out a huge rock and create the burial chamber.

In the center of the tomb chamber, there was a coffin made of gold.

"Have we reached the depths of the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations?" Chu Chu murmured. So simple?

After a moment's thought, Chu Chu stepped into the tomb chamber.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a lightness in her body.

At the same time, the true energy within her Dantian surged.

Originally at the full stage of the Second-Grade Third Dantian, the 'Dragon Claw Dantian', she was forcibly elevated to a minor realm, and the surging true energy within her body broke through to the Fourth Dantian, the 'Dragon Body Dantian'!

Compared to the arduous journey of breaking through the first three Dantian, which often took four or five years, the advancement to the Fourth Dantian realm was so blissful that it almost brought Chu Chu to tears.

She never imagined that a small improvement in her cultivation level could happen so naturally.

She'd be willing to go on as many Ancient Tomb adventures as she wanted, no matter how many times!

As Chu Chu was immersed in the blissful process of her growth, the Golden Coffin underwent a change.

The golden coffin was opened.

A figure wrapped like a mummy rose from the coffin, hovered in mid-air, and floated right in front of Chu Chu.

Chu Chu's first reaction was to reach for the short sword. But... she suddenly realized that she couldn't move her body, not even a finger.

She could only watch helplessly as the mummy figure in the Golden Coffin floated in front of her. The figure reached out, pried open Chu Chu's eyelids to look at her eyes, pinched her nose, and even pried open her mouth to look at her tongue.

What are you doing?

It feels disgusting.

The figure examined Chu Chu's eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, and ears, then grabbed Chu Chu's hand and carefully examined the lines on her palm.

After looking at her, the figure threw Chu Chu to the ground again, took off her shoes, and removed her stockings. Then, he held her delicate feet and looked at the lines on her soles.

Chu Chu felt so ashamed she wanted to die.

After examining Chu Chu's feet, the figure retreated to the side of the Golden Coffin, took out a tortoise shell from the coffin, and stuffed three copper coins inside.

After a pause, the figure seemed to realize that there weren't enough coins, so it added five more to make up an auspicious number.

Chu Chu thought to herself, "Is this figure going to tell fortunes?"

It was indeed fortune telling.

The mummy figure then made a few calculations with its fingers, embedding several runes into its shell—these runes contained the likenesses of Chu Chu's face, hands, and feet.

Anyway, it includes all sorts of information about Chu Chu.

After being hit, the turtle shell lit up, and the turtle flew into the air and began to spin.

After spinning eight times, the tortoise-shell fairy spat out eight copper coins like scattering flowers.

The copper coins were arranged in a circle on the ground.

The figure looked at the eight copper coins on the ground and began to ponder.

A moment later, the figure floated back to Chu Chu and solemnly said, "Little girl, I see you have extraordinary bone structure and beautiful legs. Would you consider signing a contract with me and becoming...?"

On the other side.

In lane number 1.

Li Yinzhu walked through the passageway, yawning. As she walked, snow began to fall.

[It's snowing! This must be a mutated ice attribute of the water element, a very rare attribute. But this girl doesn't seem to be in good condition.] One of Four Cultivations's eyes floated behind Li Yinzhu, observing her movements.

Like Chu Chu, Li Yinzhu walked slowly through the heavy snow.

As they walked, Li Yinzhu suddenly squatted down.

She curled up into a ball, clutching her clothes tightly, and remained motionless.

However, the coldness in his body flared up, and he entered a state of hibernation.

Four Cultivations's eyes. "..."
