Scattered at the foot of Mount Taihang are many low, simple brick and tile houses.

  Ye Jingcheng's room is located within these houses.

  He pushed open the door to find a room with little furniture.

  An empty stone table, two wooden shelves filled with herbs and ancient books respectively, and a wooden bed were the only items.

  The only good thing was that the entire room was very clean and tidy, spotless.

  Ye Jingcheng sat upright on the stool, pced the Jade Ring Rat aside, and carefully put the Crimson Fme Fox on the stone table.

  At this moment, he had already channeled a lot of spiritual light from the yellowed ancient book into the Crimson Fme Fox.

  The Crimson Fme Fox's wound was still bck and dry.

  But its blue-purple pupils were noticeably brighter.

  Its chirping was also more crisp, rather than the weak and dying sounds from before! Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to stop, continuing to channel the ancient book's spiritual light.

  Under his observation, the Crimson Fme Fox's fur became brighter, emitting an extremely warm temperature, like a burning furnace.

  The dry and bckened wound gradually faded, returning to its original color.

  "It's working!" Ye Jingcheng's eyes grew brighter!

  The special spiritual light of the yellowed ancient book could indeed heal demonic beasts.

  He just didn't know what the Nine-tailed Fox page that had appeared earlier was for.

  He could only continue to heal the Crimson Fme Fox!

  The Crimson Fme Fox consumed a great deal of spiritual light. After a quarter of an hour, the spiritual light was completely exhausted.

  It completely returned to its previous dim appearance.

  "Zzz!" The Crimson Fme Fox began to lick Ye Jingcheng's arm.

  Its small tongue swept over and over, bringing a warm, itchy sensation.

  Most of its injuries had healed, and now only a small scar could be seen on the Crimson Fme Fox's front leg.

  Extremely miraculous!

  Ye Jingcheng's heart pounded. With the book's magic, as long as he had enough spiritual light in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about demonic beasts getting injured!

  The Crimson Fme Fox chirped more pleasantly. It moved closer to the edge of the table near Ye Jingcheng's chest, then zily y down.

  Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng quickly cast the Blood Contract. He pressed his finger, bit it to draw blood, and began to outline the spiritual rune spell! Although this was his first time casting the Blood Contract, he had practiced it countless times since childhood in the Beast Taming family, so he was not at all unfamiliar.

  However, as the blood fell into the Crimson Fme Fox's brow,

  the first page of the ancient book seemed to light up, becoming extremely dazzling.

  The spiritual fox on it also became extremely clear.

  The spiritual fox was spewing fmes, unruly and unyielding, and still evolving.

  Before long, it transformed into a two-tailed crimson fox. At this moment, it was even more handsome, still raising its head, gring angrily, its two tails constantly dancing behind it.

  Besides that, the appearances of countless spiritual herbs and leaves emerged.

  "Heartless Flower, Scarlet Ginseng, Fallen Fme Grass, Red Dragon Fruit..."

  Ye Jingcheng murmured the names of the herbs one by one. Because he studied alchemy, he knew most spiritual herbs like the back of his hand. However, there were still a few spiritual herbs that he didn't recognize.

  But according to the instructions on the picture, it seemed that as long as these spiritual herbs were used to refine medicinal liquid and pills for the Crimson Fme Fox, it could transform into a two-tailed fox after swallowing them.

  These spiritual herbs were all fire-attribute spiritual herbs, and some of them were extremely precious.

  Ye Jingcheng himself was also an alchemist, and he also knew that although this kind of medicinal liquid was unbelievable, it was quite feasible.

  However, compared to the preciousness of the spiritual herbs, what moved him even more was that an ordinary Crimson Fme Fox could grow to the te stage of the second rank, so where would the future of a two-tailed Crimson Fme Fox be?

  Even the nine-tailed fox at the very beginning of that page...

  Ye Jingcheng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

  "Chirp chirp!"

  The Crimson Fme Fox continued to chirp, and at this moment, Ye Jingcheng already understood what the Crimson Fme Fox meant.

  It was hungry.

  It wanted to eat!

  However, what Ye Jingcheng hesitated about was that the Crimson Fme Fox's blood contract seemed to be different from what he had learned.

  That illusion of a contract was as if it was completed through the Illustrated Handbook.

  Ye Jingcheng took out a bottle of Spirit Feeding Pills, took out two, and fed them to the Crimson Fme Fox.

  The Crimson Fme Fox smelled it for a while, and then chirped happily. In the next moment, it swallowed all two Spirit Feeding Pills without leaving a single one.

  Its fur began to flow with red light, like a wave of fire, exceptionally beautiful.

  Ye Jingcheng was not in the mood to watch at the moment. He looked at the Jade Ring Rat next to him, and he wanted to test it out.

  Whether the Jade Ring Rat could be pulled into the pages of the Illustrated Handbook.

  The Jade Ring Rat also squeaked, seemingly having seen Ye Jingcheng feeding the Crimson Fme Fox, wanting to eat Spirit Pills as well.

  But its spirituality was much less than that of the Crimson Fme Fox.

  Ye Jingcheng was not annoyed, but stretched out his finger and continued to cast the blood contract.

  He was still engraving spirit runes, and this time, he engraved it even slower.

  He needed to grasp the details in order to judge the Illustrated Handbook's ability.

  Soon, blood fell into the Jade Ring Rat's brow.

  The blood contract formed, and that different feeling also appeared, but the Illustrated Handbook did not show any changes, and there were no spiritual herbs or spiritual shadows.

  Unwilling, he took advantage of the st bit of spiritual light and transmitted it to the Jade Ring Rat.

  The Jade Ring Rat's humming sound became louder, seeming to enjoy it quite a bit.

  But still, there was no change in the Illustrated Handbook.

  After studying it for a good while, Ye Jingcheng also summarized a few points.

  First, ordinary spirit beasts are clearly not within the scope of consideration of that mysterious Illustrated Handbook.

  Second, the Illustrated Handbook's spiritual light can heal injuries and even improve physical fitness. At the same time, for some naturally gifted demon beasts, it can also provide pill formus or medicinal liquids for growth and even evolution!

  Third, the Illustrated Handbook's blood contract is even more overbearing!

  Ye Jingcheng studied the effects of the Illustrated Handbook thoroughly, and his heart surged for a long time.

  But then he began to frown. His four hundred contribution points had been exchanged for some spirit beast meat and the Spirit Tempering Pills needed for his own cultivation, leaving him with less than fifty contribution points.

  Now that he had to raise two spirit beasts, the pressure was greater than ever before.

  He finally personally experienced why the Ye family, such a rge Foundation Establishment family, was famous for its financial problems in the Mount Taihang area.

  The title of Beast Taming family was good, but it also represented a greater consumption of resources.

  And there were two paths in front of him: follow the family's demon hunting team to hunt demons, or enter the family's Market shops and continue to refine pills.

  His eyes couldn't help but fall on the Crimson Fme Fox. When the Crimson Fme Fox was a little bigger, it could spew out raging fire, which was no different from earth fire, and could completely serve as a fme for refining pills.

  At that time, he might be able to save some rent.
