Chapter 69 The Most Perfect Daoist Pact (2/2)

Ruan Tang's eyes lit up instantly.

She excitedly took the animal skin scroll and carefully unfolded it.

As the animal skin scroll was slowly unfurled, lines of ancient seal script, carrying an aura of vastness and antiquity, came into view.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, the five elements serve as the medium, blood and soul are fused and forged into a bond."

"Our souls are intertwined; we share in each other's glory and our shared loss."

"Entwined by love, bound by life and death, endlessly reincarnating..."

These opening few sentences alone made Ruan Tang's heart skip a beat.

The cycle of reincarnation never ends.

In other words, since their souls are immortal, the two people will be bound together for all eternity.

She continued reading, and the more she looked, the wider her almond-shaped eyes opened, her surprise almost overflowing.

This contract was practically tailor-made for her and Yan Yu!

The core material it requires is not some rare and precious natural treasure, but a set of five elemental stones of similar quality.

In the mortal realm where spiritual energy is scarce, these Five Elements Stones can be used to leverage the most fundamental power of the Five Elements in the world, serving as a vast energy source for forging contracts.

The ceremony was not complicated.

The magic array is set up, and the spiritual power of both sides activates the array, merging their essence and blood, engraving the mark of their souls, and then drawing upon the five elements of energy to temper and fuse them.

Finally, the heavens bestowed their blessing, and the couple's contract was formed, splitting into two and imprinting themselves back into each other's souls and hearts.

The entire process requires only one thing: absolute and unreserved trust between the two parties.

Ruan Tang's fingertips gently brushed over the words "requires absolute voluntariness and trust from both parties" on the animal skin scroll.

What surprised Ruan Tang the most was that at the end of the contract, there was a note in extremely small print:

"This contract is based on the mutual generation of the five elements, and its energy is peaceful and balanced. If the contract fails to be formed, the energy will dissipate on its own, without harming either party."

A couple's contract with no backlash!

Ruan Tang carefully studied the various benefits of a successful contract once more, her heart beating faster and faster.

Life perception! Not only can it clearly sense the safety of others, but it can also transmit life force to save lives in critical moments!

Telepathic connection! No matter how far apart they are, as long as their spiritual power is sufficient, they can communicate through the power of the contract.

Spiritual energy resonance! This is quite interesting. When the two fight, the sum of their powers will be greater than the sum of their powers, making it a great helper for murder and robbery.

And then there's the passively triggered protective barrier and the negligible damage sharing...

Perfect. Ruan Tang felt that what her senior sister said—that the weaker party in a couple's contract would be controlled by the other party—must be an Earth-rank contract. A high-rank contract should be like the one on the animal skin, and there shouldn't be such a situation.

She carefully put away the animal skin scroll, raised her head, and looked at the puppet granny beside her. Her eyes were bright, with a hint of urgency that she herself did not realize.

"Grandma, do we have one of each of the five elemental stones—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—in our warehouse?"

For a fleeting moment, the puppet grandmother's eternally unchanging jade-like face seemed to freeze.

She bowed slightly: "Please wait a moment, Master, I will go and investigate."

Before she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.

Ruan Tang held a cup of warm spiritual tea, sat on the soft couch, and waited patiently.

Time passed by, and the bamboo house was so quiet that only her and Xiaobai's soft breathing could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, the puppet grandmother's figure reappeared silently.

Ruan Tang's heart leaped into her throat, and she asked anxiously, "Grandma, have you found it?"

The puppet granny looked into her expectant eyes, stretched out her hand, and in her palm were only three elemental stones: water, earth, and wood. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
