Feng Qing’an placed his palm on the fluffy head of Black Mountain, channeling his increasingly concentrated soul power, which was on the verge of forming the first Soul Contract, pulling the ubiquitous Spiritual Qi.

Because it was his first time, Feng Qing’an was very cautious, drawing even less spiritual power than he did during his first attempt. As a result, he became more adept and unflustered.

As the spiritual power entered the obedient puppy lying in his arms, Feng Qing’an’s mind grew tense, watching for any changes that might occur.

Through numerous repetitions of practice on his own chickens and ducks, Feng Qing’an had discovered that not all creatures can harbor Spiritual Qi. Even if Spiritual Qi is forcibly drawn into their bodies, they may not be able to contain it.

The fate of creatures incompatible with Spiritual Qi can be understood by examining the chickens and ducks that have passed through the cycle of life and nourished the earth.

Of course, this was due to Feng Qing’an’s initial ignorance about Spiritual Qi. As he practiced repeatedly and gradually became proficient, he was able to retain the lives of those chickens and ducks incompatible with Spiritual Qi without causing them to explode or die on the spot.

Even though their lives were spared, the Spiritual Qi that was forcibly introduced into their bodies eventually dissipated and could not be retained.

Whether Spiritual Qi can be retained is key for a creature’s transformation, a prerequisite for rebirth. This seems to be predetermined, a matter of innate talent.

This talent is vital. Without it, rebirth and change of destiny cannot be achieved. However, even if it is present, it doesn’t seem to be anything extraordinary. Even farm animals confined in chicken coops and duck cages have a considerable proportion of this talent.

Since he had not experimented with creatures other than chickens and ducks, Feng Qing’an was unsure if other species also shared similar characteristics. However, he suspected this to be the case.

Regardless, as Feng Qing’an sensed with his soul power the state of the puppy in his arms, his tense nerves relaxed, and a genuine smile spread across his face.

The integration of Spiritual Qi was going smoothly, even more seamlessly than he had anticipated, outperforming all the successful cases he had observed in the past.

“Haha, no wonder I picked this dog, you’ve done beautifully, Black Mountain!”

Without the slightest surprise, Feng Qing’an laughed out loud in delight after his potential beast pet completed its first Soul Integration, unloading his inner excitement by holding the half- grown puppy high above his head.

The puppy, being held high in the air, looked at the joyous Feng Qing’an and barked enthusiastically in excitement.

After calming his emotions slightly, Feng Qing’an did not rush to initiate the second Soul Integration for Black Mountain. Although Black Mountain demonstrated a stronger affinity and capacity for Spiritual Qi than all the chickens and ducks he had tested before, haste was not advisable in this matter.

This dog, handpicked by him, was the key to his transcendence. Feng Qing’an refused to let any accidents caused by his own reasons occur midway.

He decided to undergo Soul Integration once a day at most for Black Mountain, and to closely monitor the puppy’s changes.

That very night, Black Mountain showed Feng Qing’an the changes it had undergone after absorbing Spiritual Qi – its appetite had grown, it became more voracious.

Although the change was slight, how could Feng Qing’an, who had been feeding this puppy for over two months, not notice it?

This change reassured and excited Feng Qing’an. The ability to eat more was indeed a skill, and Black Mountain was in its growth phase. The more it ate, the larger it would grow in the future.

However, as Feng Qing’an carried out his daily practice of Soul Integration for Black Mountain, his excitement waned because the dog was turning into a glutton.

The dog’s increasing appetite day by day even attracted the attention of his parents. Luckily, they did not pay much attention to it as the dog was a legit pet with a clear origin.

But Feng Qing’an was getting a bit anxious, as what surprised his parents was just the leftovers that Black Mountain ate openly. Behind the scenes, he was also finding ways to feed the dog extra meals.

But even then, it was only a temporary solution and couldn’t continue indefinitely. After all, given his age and size, even if he had a small savings, he couldn’t use it all.

“Black Mountain! You’re such a voracious eater!”

Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but sigh while touching Black Mountain’s head, which was noticeably larger than half a month ago. The effect of the spiritual Qi on ordinary objects was extraordinarily apparent.

Woof!

Hearing Feng Qing’an’s somewhat helpless sigh, Black Mountain, who was squatting on the ground, tilted its head and nuzzled against him. Then it suddenly stood up and ran out of the house under his astonished gaze.

“Black Mountain! ”

Feng Qing’an hurriedly chased after him but couldn’t catch the three-month-old puppy with his current physique. When he managed to get to the door, he saw Black Mountain, with something in its mouth, jumping down from a tall and straight aspen tree.

woof!

Seeing Feng Qing’an coming out, Black Mountain ran to him, spat out the item it had held in its mouth, squatted down, grinning, its tail wagging so fast it looked like a blur. Its pride was evident.

“A dove! ”

Looking at the bloody bird on the ground, Feng Qing’an immediately recognized it. He then looked at the little wolfhound in front of him with surprise and delight, laughing as he rubbed its head.

“Well done, Black Mountain, I almost forgot, you’re a hunting dog, you can hunt for yourself. But as a dog, climbing trees to catch birds is a bit unconventional!”

Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, the initially cocky Black Mountain suddenly lowered its head, and its ears drooped. It looked so wronged that Feng Qing’an was somewhat taken aback.

“Can you understand what I’m saying?”

He knew dogs were intelligent, but they should only understand some of the words they’ve heard repeatedly – complex sentences would be beyond their comprehension. But now, Black Mountain’s reactions seemed to exceed the norm for dogs.

Woof!

Black Mountain raised its head, and its fluffy tail began to wag quickly, seemingly affirming something.

“If you can understand me, then you’ll have to solve your food issue tonight!”

“Whine-”

“Let me finish!”

Observing the wolfhound in front of him, crouching on the ground and even ready to bare its belly, Feng Qing’an was quite sure.

“When it gets dark and my parents go to sleep, you can jump over the wall. You can even climb trees to catch birds, hunting some wild chickens and hares shouldn’t be a problem, right?” woof!

Black Mountain immediately stood up, even spinning around in excitement. It seemed to have been anticipating hunting outside for quite a while.

“You’re only allowed to catch wild ones. Do not touch other people’s domestic chickens and ducks. If someone complains, I won’t protect you!”

Feng Qing’an warned seriously, despite Black Mountain being more disciplined than him. Although it loved meat, it had never set its paws on the chickens and ducks at home..
