From the energy cocoon, a humanoid figure emerged!
The figure, about one-fifth the height of a human, looked especially small, with a pair of light purple wings.
Its entire body, except for its hands, feet, and head, was covered by a special light purple magical robe, adorned with strange patterns resembling demon eyes, as if formed from the original petals of the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon.
A head of light purple curly hair naturally cascaded behind her, and her face looked as adorable as a flower fairy.
What was most captivating were her pair of light purple, unusual eyes, which held an extremely enchanting and frightening feeling, very much like the Hundred-Eyed Flower.
"This is? The Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon's juvenile human form?"
Qi Ping stared dumbfounded at the enchanting and adorable figure before him.
"But generally, isn't it only mature plant Spirit Beasts that can transform into human form?"
Qi Ping had read many books, but unfortunately, not many of them were about plant Spirit Beasts.
The general descriptions stated that because plant Spirit Beasts were inconvenient to move, some would transform into human form to continue their Cultivation after maturing or reaching a very high Rank.
However, this small Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon in human form clearly only had the strength of the first-Rank Early Stage; she hadn't even reached the second Rank.
This was truly beyond Qi Ping's scope of knowledge and understanding, so Qi Ping couldn't determine the situation before him.
After the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon emerged from her cocoon, she began to curiously examine her surroundings.
Because she had been here during the critical period of her Awakening and the formation of her spiritual intelligence these past few days, she was very familiar with the surrounding aura, but the feeling then was completely different from now.
With complete and special visual organs, her entire world had become completely different.
Like a toddler, she curiously observed everything around her.
Soon, she saw a bipedal creature similar to her, but without wings and much larger.
After sniffing carefully with her nose, the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she flew to Qi Ping's side, grabbed his arm, and mumbled:
"Gulu gulu..."
"Gulu gulu..."
"Can't speak yet?"
Qi Ping was slightly stunned to see the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon in this state.
It was probably because she had just completed the birth of her spiritual intelligence, so she was still a blank slate.
However, Qi Ping still understood her meaning; she was expressing affection.
"Since that's the case, let's just make the contract. Perhaps after the contract, the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon's spiritual intelligence can be further enhanced."
Qi Ping remembered that before the Golden Marrow Honeybeess were contracted, their overall spiritual intelligence wasn't high, and they couldn't speak fluently.
But after the contract, their spiritual intelligence was greatly improved, and communication became much easier.
So Qi Ping didn't delay. After playing briefly with the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon, he summoned the Contract Array.
Soon, that mysterious, quietgreen Contract Array rose again!
When the Contract Array began to merge into the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon's body, the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon did not refuse but readily accepted it.
Qi Ping was not surprised by this scene.
Soon, the contract ceremony officially began!
Qi Ping also entered that special state, and a unique insight and energy gradually began to merge.
More than two hours later...
When Qi Ping woke up again, he felt completely different. A special purple light erupted from Qi Ping's eyes.
And the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon, like the Little Spirit Fox, had already woken up.
Realizing that Qi Ping was still in a special state, the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon didn't disturb him. Instead, after a brief stroll around, she went to the place where she had been planted and buried her two feet into the ground.
Special roots grew from her feet, continuously absorbing Spiritual Qi from the spiritual land.
Then the entire demon stood quietly there, not knowing if she was asleep or awake, but she was basically like a plant.
This personality is very plant-like!
Upon discovering Qi Ping had awakened, she flew to Qi Ping's side to play for a while, then returned to the spiritual land she had just been in.
"Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm."
[Shared Talent: Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm]
[Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm: Your Divine Soul possesses a special Law imprint. You can use this Law imprint to create an illusion containing the power of Heart Demon and evil spirits. In combat, you can draw the enemy's consciousness into it, causing their consciousness to collapse and be destroyed.]
This time, Qi Ping's luck was not as good as when he contracted the Mí Xiān Spirit Fox.
Originally, among the three Talents—Will of the Demon Eye, Soul of the Demon Eye, and Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm—Qi Ping preferred the Will of the Demon Eye, which could resist Heart Demons, to guard against potential Heart Demons during his future Cultivation.
Or the Soul of the Demon Eye, which strengthens the Divine Soul, and the superimposed effect with the Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal might also be good.
As for the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm, it was slightly inferior compared to the other two passive abilities.
"It's a little disappointing, but it's still very good; it's just a bit worse than the other two Talents."
"Anyway, with the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon by my side, she can still help me resist Heart Demons."
"The combined effect of the Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal and the Soul of the Demon Eye is still unknown."
"Practicing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm more often can not only help me train my Divine Soul but also help me understand Heart Demons and the power of evil spirits."
"Then, in combat, I can cast the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm together with the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon, which might have unexpected effects, and my combat methods can also be more flexible."
Thinking of these, the disappointment in Qi Ping's heart gradually disappeared.
His combat methods were too limited, so adding a special combat method like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm was not bad!
Especially if the enemy launched a Divine Soul attack, whether it was used to protect the Bee Swarm or weaken the enemy's Divine Soul attack, it was still extremely good.
"Thus, the contract missions for the third and fourth Spirit Beasts have been successfully completed. Next is to diligently Cultivate, comprehend the Essence of Fire, and gain insight into the Dao Heart Realm, preparing for the Foundation Establishment Breakthrough!"
It would be more than half a year before Qi Ping would again have a slot for an Animal Companion contract.
At that time, he would usher in his first professional advancement and gain another Animal Companion contract slot.
"Check attribute panel."
[Name: Qi Ping]
[Rank: Lv4 (289/800)]
[Profession: Beast King Druid (Main), Jungle Druid (Sub)]
[Talent: Animal Companion, Nature Affinity]
[Animal Companion: (4/4) Golden Marrow Honeybeess, Yang Fire Crow, Mí Xiān Spirit Fox (One Seal), Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon]
[Wild Transformation: (1/1) Golden Marrow Honeybeess (Golden Marrow Honeybeess, High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee, Big Belly Bee, Equilibrium Bees, Poisonous Bee, Ink Armor Bees)]
[Shared Talent: Grand Brewer, Yang Fire Body, Bewitching Immortal Divine Seal, Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm]
[Special Talent: Heaven and Earth Blessing]
[Skills: Lv3 Plant Growth (165/400), Lv1 Beast King's Grace (37/100), Lv4 Tree Skin Art (588/800), Lv2 Healing Spell (32/200), Lv2 Beast King Flame (179/200)]

(Druid Level experience +286, Plant Growth experience +123, Beast King's Grace experience +8, Tree Skin Art experience +337, Healing Spell experience +61, Beast King Flame experience +122)
"It's been almost three months since I last leveled up to Druid Level four, and the progress is quite good!"
"Healing Spell has risen to Rank two, and Tree Skin Art can Awaken its first characteristic when it reaches Rank five."
Every Druid skill gains a characteristic when it reaches Rank five, which is one reason why Qi Ping has been diligently grinding Tree Skin Art; it's the fastest to level up.
"Beast King Flame should also see a huge improvement after comprehending the Essence of Fire. Breaking through to Rank three will be a sure thing then."
"But to upgrade to a Rank five Druid, I still need to diligently grind experience day after day."
Looking at his increasingly luxurious attribute panel, Qi Ping was full of motivation!
His current attribute panel was many times more luxurious than when he first Awakened the Druid profession.
Now, among Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he could definitely be described as having active and passive skills as fierce as a tiger; and this was only for Druid skills, not counting his increasingly powerful Flame Burst Spell.
After calming his excited emotions, Qi Ping took out the Magical Artifact great hammer that contained the Concept of the Essence of Fire.
"After delaying for so long, it's time to comprehend the Essence of Fire."
