The huge reward mentioned by the Horse-Faced Guard was neither a magic weapon nor fairy jade, but a spiritual contract.
As for this thing, Shen Luo, who had practiced the art of communicating with spirits and controlling demons, was naturally not unfamiliar with it. However, he did not think that this thing was precious. At least to him, it was something that could be dispensable.
"Why, are you not satisfied with this thing?" Seeing his expression, the Horse-Faced Guard was a little surprised at first, and asked in annoyance.
"No, just a little unexpected." Shen Luo forced an awkward smile and said.
"Boy, don't be ignorant of the value of this thing. This is not an ordinary psychic contract. As long as you sign this contract, when you encounter a crisis in the future, you can use this contract to summon me to appear and help you!" The Horse-Faced Man glared at Shen Luo and said.
"Anytime, anywhere, is it possible?" Shen Luo said with some surprise.
The strength of this Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Demon is impossible to tell at his current level. All he knows is that he should be at least at the Soul-Condensing Stage. If he can really help him, it will naturally be a great thing.
However, before he could finish being happy, the Horse-Faced Guard poured another basin of cold water on his head.
"You can do it anytime and anywhere, but this contract is consumable and can only be used once. You'd better not waste it." Ma Mian watched Shen Luo's smile gradually stiffen, and the depression in his chest was instantly swept away.
"It can only be used once..." Shen Luo couldn't help but mutter.
"Don't think that not everyone can get this spiritual contract from the underworld. According to the rules of the underworld, only a small number of cultivators with predestined relationships have the qualifications and opportunity to get such a spiritual contract after completing the tasks received from the underworld!" The Horse-Faced Guard shouted unhappily upon hearing this.
"What is the underworld mission?" Shen Luo's heart moved and he became interested.
"Why, you also want to take the mission from the underworld? With your current level of cultivation, it's really not good enough." The Horse-Faced Guard pursed his lips and said.
"Your Excellency has already said it, so don't hide it. Just because I can't do it now doesn't mean I can't do it in the future." Shen Luo teased.
"Well, I'll let you broaden your horizons! Generally speaking, tasks in the underworld that require the power of the mortal world to complete are rather tricky. If a cultivator without the cultivation level above the Soul Condensation Stage gets involved, it would be tantamount to seeking death. However, once the task is completed, it can also be exchanged for many benefits that you can't imagine. This spiritual contract is just one of them." The Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Master said mysteriously.
Shen Luo wanted to ask something else, but Horse-Faced Guard waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
"Okay, I'm making an exception this time to give you this spiritual contract because you helped me to eliminate the evil spirit and steal the incense for me the day before yesterday. There's no point in saying more to you." The Horse-Faced Guard cleared his throat and said so.
Although Shen Luo was unwilling, since the other party had already said this, it was naturally inconvenient for him to say anything more. He then asked Horse-Faced Demon how to use the spiritual contract, and then said goodbye and left.
Time flies and more than a month has passed.
Shen Luo had been practicing diligently in the Bai Mansion. He tried the Huangting Sutra and the Chunyang Sword Technique several times, but found that there was still no improvement. So he simply put them aside completely and concentrated on practicing the nameless technique. He made rapid progress.
