Chapter 17 Signs of Transformation
Feng Qing'an pressed his palm on Heishan's furry head to accumulate more and more powerful soul power that was about to condense into the first soul contract and attract the ubiquitous spiritual energy.
Because it was his first time, Feng Qing'an was very cautious and drew less spiritual power than the first time he tried it. As a result, this made him more comfortable and calm.
And when the spiritual power was integrated into the puppy lying obediently in his arms , Feng Qing'an's mind became tense and he watched the next changes.
Through a lot of repeated practice on the chickens and ducks at home, which he had already rotated and emptied once, he had discovered that not everyone could carry spiritual energy. Even if one forcibly pulled the spiritual energy into the body, it might not be possible to contain it.
As for the consequences of being incompatible with spiritual energy, just ask the chickens and ducks that have come out from the cycle of grains to nourish the earth.
Of course, this was also because Feng Qing'an did not understand spiritual energy at first. After he practiced repeatedly and gradually became proficient, he was able to save the lives of chickens and ducks that were incompatible with spiritual energy, so that they would not explode or die on the spot.
Even if they survived, the spiritual energy that was forcibly introduced into the bodies of these chickens and ducks would eventually dissipate and could not be retained.
Whether one can carry and retain spiritual energy is the key to whether one can transform and complete a complete transformation, and this seems to be something that has been predetermined. It is a kind of qualification.
This kind of qualification is extremely critical. Without it, it means that one cannot be reborn and change one's destiny. But even if one has it, it does not seem to be a big deal, because even a large proportion of the livestock kept in chicken coops and duck cages have this qualification.
Because he had not conducted the experiment on creatures other than chickens and ducks, Feng Qing'an was not sure whether similar situations existed in other species, but he guessed that it was probably the case.
However, as Feng Qing'an used his soul power to check the condition of the puppy in his arms, his tense nerves relaxed and a bright smile from the heart appeared on his face.
The integration of spiritual energy was very smooth, even smoother than he had imagined, better than any successful case he had observed in the past.
"Haha, you're worthy of being the dog I picked. Well done, Montenegro!"
Without any surprise, Feng Qing'an, who had completed the first soul-summoning and blood-refining for his reserve pet, laughed happily, venting his inner excitement, and raised the half-grown puppy high in his hand.
The puppy held in the air looked at the happy Feng Qingan and barked .
After his emotions calmed down a little, Feng Qing'an did not rush to perform the second spiritual blood refining on Heishan. Although Heishan's affinity for spiritual energy was stronger than all the chickens and ducks he had used for experiments before, this matter should be taken slowly.
This dog, which he personally selected and raised, is the key to his extraordinary ability. Feng Qingan will never allow any accidents to happen due to his own reasons.
He decided to perform soul-summoning and blood-refining on Black Mountain at most once a day, and to keep a close eye on the changes in the puppy.
Tonight, Heishan showed Feng Qing'an the changes that had occurred after it absorbed the spiritual energy—its appetite increased and it could eat more.
Although it was not very obvious, how could Feng Qingan, who had been feeding for more than two months, not notice it?
This change made Feng Qing'an feel relieved and excited. Being able to eat is a skill. Black Mountain is in its growth period. The more it eats, the bigger its body will be in the future.
However, as Feng Qing'an practiced step by step every day and refined the blood for Heishan, he was not happy anymore because this dog was evolving into a glutton.
The amount of food he ate increased day by day, which even attracted the attention of his parents, but fortunately, they did not pay too much attention to it. After all, he was a dog with a clean background and a clear origin.
But Feng Qing'an was still a little anxious, because what surprised his parents was only the leftovers that Heishan ate openly, while secretly, he was trying every means to add food to the dog's meal.
But even so, it can only solve the urgent problem temporarily and is not a long-term solution. After all, given his size and age, even if he has a small treasury, he cannot use it.
"Heishan! You are such a big eater!"
Feng Qingan touched the black mountain dog head, which was obviously bigger than half a month ago, and couldn't help but sigh. The influence of spiritual energy on ordinary things is particularly obvious.
Woof!
Hearing Feng Qing'an's helpless sigh, Heishan, who was squatting on the ground, tilted his head and rubbed Feng Qing'an, who was not much taller than him. Then he stood up suddenly and rushed out of the house under Feng Qing'an's surprised gaze.
"Montenegro!"
Feng Qing'an was very anxious and chased after it immediately, but with his current physique, he really couldn't catch up with this three-month-old puppy. When Feng Qing'an chased it out of the door, he saw Heishan, holding something in his mouth, jumping down from a tall and straight crooked locust tree.
Woof!
Looking at Feng Qing'an who was chasing him, Heishan rushed to him, then opened his mouth and spit out the food in his mouth, then squatted down, grinning, and shaking his tail so quickly that it left an afterimage, and his pride was beyond words.
"turtledove!"
Looking at the bird with blood on its gray-brown feathers, Feng Qingan recognized it at a glance. Then he looked at the little wolfhound in front of him with great surprise, laughed and rubbed its head with his hand.
"Well done, Montenegro. I almost forgot that you are a hunting dog, you can hunt on your own. However, as a dog, climbing trees and catching birds is a bit unorthodox!"
After listening to Feng Qing'an's words, Heishan, who was originally so proud, immediately lowered his head, his ears drooped. The aggrieved expression shocked Feng Qing'an a little.
"Can you understand me?"
Feng Qingan knew that dogs had high IQs, but dogs should only be able to understand words they have heard many times and could not comprehend complex sentences. But at this moment, what Heishan showed was beyond the scope of a normal dog.
Woof!
Heishan raised his head and his furry tail swung quickly behind him, as if to express some kind of affirmation.
"If you can understand what I'm saying, you can solve your own food and clothing problem tonight!"
"Woo~"
"Hear me out!"
Looking at the wolfhound in front of him, which was crawling on the ground and even ready to show its belly to him, Feng Qingan was basically sure.
"Wait until it's dark and my parents are asleep, then you can climb over the wall and go out. You can climb trees and catch birds, pheasants, rabbits, etc. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Woof!
Montenegro stood up immediately and even turned around excitedly, as if he had been looking forward to going out hunting for a long time.
"You are only allowed to catch wild ones. Don't touch other people's chickens and ducks. Otherwise, if they come to my house, I won't protect you!"
Feng Qing'an warned in a serious tone that Heishan was much more obedient and honest than him. Although he loved to eat meat, he had never laid a hand on the chickens and ducks at home.
