Chapter 146 It is difficult to escape from the master's palm
Coincidentally, not long after, she really found an important record related to it.
The book explains that those spiritual animals can absorb the spiritual essence between heaven and earth. After more than 500 years of sedimentation and accumulation, they will have the ability to transform into human form.
However, in the initial stage after completing the transformation, its human form is extremely unstable.
At first, it could only last for about a short time like an incense stick.
However, as the number of transformations increases and the precise control and continuous strengthening of one's own mental power, one will eventually be able to successfully stabilize and maintain the human form.
After reading this, Shen Qingge, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then she asked again with a puzzled look on her face:
"Shui Qilin, I clearly remember that it hasn't even been three hundred years since you were banished to the mortal world?
But this ancient book clearly states that it takes a full five hundred years for a spirit beast to be able to transform into a human form?
HH? "
Facing Shen Qingge's barrage of questions, Shui Qilin responded:
"As for the exact time, I haven't calculated it carefully, but I estimate it's around three hundred years!
As for why I was able to transform into a human form ahead of time... well, in my opinion, it must be because the spiritual energy within the space is extremely rich, which greatly accelerated the process of my transformation into a human form! "
As it spoke, the Water Qilin did not forget to slightly shake its dense scales that shone with a faint blue light.
After hearing this explanation, Shen Qingge nodded thoughtfully, thinking that this was the most reasonable explanation.
Then, she continued to flip through the ancient book in her hand, wanting to see if there was any other useful information recorded at the back.
The contents recorded in the book are extensive and detailed, not only covering how to tame various spirit beasts, but also how to form close blood pacts with them, and even the method of breaking the blood pact is clearly recorded...
One of the noteworthy rules states that spirit beasts must never leave the area of 50 meters around their owner.
After seeing this restriction, Shen Qingge immediately smiled and playfully joked:
"It seems that some spirit beasts will never be able to escape from their masters' clutches in their lifetime!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the water qilin that had been quietly standing aside seemed to be quite "dissatisfied". It suddenly exerted its strength, leaped into the air, and instantly disappeared into the night.
It didn't believe what was written in the book was true. After all, it had also left Shen Qingge some distance to cause the landslide last time.
But less than half an incense stick of time had passed when a muffled "thump" sound suddenly came from the yard.
Shen Qingge looked in the direction of the sound and found that the water qilin that had just left in anger had returned to its original place and crashed straight into the thatch pile, falling upside down with its limbs spread out.
Shen Qingge, fearing to disturb her family, hurriedly ran to the yard and said in a low voice:
"Keep your voice down, don't wake up grandma and the others!"
After saying that, she reached out and grabbed the water qilin's thick neck without saying anything else, then lifted it up with force and easily pulled it out of the thatch pile.
Then, she wrapped the water qilin in her arms as if she were holding a child, and walked quickly into the main hall.
After entering the main hall, she hugged the water qilin with one hand and extinguished the brazier with a branch with the other, muttering:
"Why, are you really so impatient to leave me, your master?"
Then, she tiptoed towards the woodshed, performing a series of movements without even taking a breath.
Facing the master's questioning, the water qilin seemed a little embarrassed. It shook its head sheepishly and whispered:
"That's not the case. Don't I naturally love freedom and don't like being bound?
Besides, if I could go far away, maybe I could help the master with something!"
Shen Qingge, who had just stepped into the woodshed and closed the door, pondered for a moment and then replied softly:
"You're right! How about... how about this?"
After saying this, she stared at the water qilin, as if seeking its consent.
Seeing the Water Qilin blinking at her, she continued:
"You know that ever since I learned that my father and brother might still be alive, I have been looking forward to going and looking for their whereabouts.
But I am unable to get away from here, and I want to ask the prince for help, but I find it difficult to open my mouth to ask him for help.
Now, he has just been enfeoffed as the King of Lingnan, and he is busy with government affairs on a daily basis. I think he has no time to take care of such trivial matters!"
When Shui Qilin heard this, he instantly became alert.
It thought, if it could really embark on the journey to find the Marquis's whereabouts, it would not only be able to lend a helping hand to its master, but it would also be able to roam freely in the vast world without any constraints. Wouldn't that be wonderful!
Although the space in the jade pendant is comfortable and pleasant, being "trapped" here day after day still makes people feel a little bored.
It had been lying in that miasma-filled forest for two or three hundred years. It must have been enough!
So, it readily agreed:
"That's great! For my master, I'll go through fire and water without hesitation!
But doesn’t the book say that I cannot be more than fifty feet away from my master?
Besides, I tried it just now, and indeed, when I reached the fifty-foot boundary, an invisible gravitational force pulled me back heavily!"
Shen Qingge smiled calmly: "I believe that there is always a way to solve everything!"
She lit the kerosene lamp and continued to read the book.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a line of small words in the chapter about breaking the blood contract.
She leaned closer to the oil lamp and carefully read the small words. It was clearly written on it:
"If you want the spirit beast to stay away from its master without breaking the blood contract, all you need to do is take a drop of its master's blood, silently recite the word 'release' in your heart, and then blend the blood into the spirit beast's brow. This way, you can successfully break this restriction!"
Shen Qingge's face suddenly showed joy, and he said excitedly:
"I told you, there will definitely be a solution!
In that case, how about I help you remove this restriction right now?"
As she spoke, she looked at the water qilin in her arms with anticipation.
The Water Qilin twisted its body, broke free from Shen Qingge's embrace, and refused:
"No, no, no, let's wait until my human form becomes more stable before we talk about it!
If we lift the restrictions now, what will happen if something goes wrong? "
