Chapter Eleven: The Treasure Found by Chance

  Another week passed and the husband of the beautiful woman, Yue Ling, still hadn't returned, he had only sent back a servant.

  According to this servant, the Yue family's castle was bustling with activity, lanterns and streamers everywhere, and guests filled the doors.

  The reason is that the youngest son of Yufeng, who is only six years old, has successfully contracted with the Treasure Pavilion. The four major sects have sent three disciples to receive him, all wanting to take him in as a disciple. Donghai Shuijing Palace, Nanling Piaomiao Sect, Xiyu Shizi Tower, and Beiyue Lingshen Pavilion, except for Lingshen Pavilion which only accepts female disciples, the others have all sent people over. The Emperor and Empress have both dispatched palace staff to offer congratulations, while the officials and generals of the court have all gathered together. The entire Yufeng family is busy responding to social calls, even Yuelin has to stay behind to help out.

  As for the Beast Spirit Awakening Pill that was bought at a high price, Old Man Yue took it away and gave it to Yue Feng as a gift.

  "Now that Xiao Jiu has been noticed by the three major sects of Dong, Nan and Xi, why didn't Grandfather and Second Uncle send someone to inform us?" Hei Yi Yue Bing's face turned slightly pale after hearing this. Although she was still young, she had already begun to understand some human emotions and worldly affairs.

  "It doesn't matter, it's just a dinner party, no need to go, as long as our third child has a good future." The beautiful woman's eyes were slightly red.

  It's clear that the family looks down on her as the fourth wife, but she doesn't lose heart.

  Even if she had spent all her family's property to buy the Beast Spirit Awakening Dan and it was snatched away by the second house, she didn't feel discouraged.

  Because she felt that she had already obtained the most coveted thing, which was the success of her third son's contract. As long as the contract was successful, there would be hope for the future. As for whether the old master of the house invited her to attend the celebratory banquet, she didn't care at all. Although this disregard made her a bit resentful and sad, she was used to enduring hardships and could see through it.

  "...Yue Yang was quite surprised in his heart. He knew very well what the six-year-old contract treasure meant on this Dragon Continent."

  If we take students as an analogy, the Success Contract Classics is like a student who successfully passes the college entrance examination and gets admitted to a prestigious university such as Harvard or Cambridge. In the future, unless something unexpected happens, they will definitely have a bright future.

  Young talents in Dragon Continent, 99% of them are unable to form a contract, only a small number of geniuses have the opportunity to succeed.

  Moreover, among the owners of the treasure book, the vast majority of people successfully contracted with the treasure book only after they were fifteen years old.

  If we were to make an analogy, it would be like passing the college entrance exam at 15 years old. But now, Yue Feng passed the exam at just six years old! That's truly a prodigy beyond compare! No wonder there was a grand celebration throughout the clan, with the imperial family coming to congratulate and the four noble families welcoming him with special treatment. Of course, Yue Yang didn't envy him; he knew what he himself possessed - the Double Star talent, the secret to upgrading the Golden Crown Thorn Flower Queen, and a Life Guardian Beast that could summon an illusion lasting up to ten days.

  The most important thing is that Yueyang possesses the Xiantian Juefa, the Xiantian Poti Wu Xing Jianqi, which is a cultivation method that only the strongest warriors on the Dragon Continent have just begun to practice.

  As long as he cultivates the first layer, he can truly enter the realm of Xiantian.

  On the Dragon Continent, a 7th-level strongman can also start to set foot in the Pre-Heavenly Realm with the help of a Sacred Beast or Divine Beast. However, only those above the 8th level dare say they are truly Pre-Heavenly strongmen. How many true Pre-Heavenly strongmen are there in this world? Those old men who can look down on all living beings, there are hardly any in the world, even if there are, they are several hundred years old...

  If we draw an analogy, if the genius Yuke Wind who had a family celebration, royal congratulations and four clans welcoming him at six years old when he passed the college entrance exam successfully, then his classmate Yuke didn't take the college entrance exam or attend Harvard or Cambridge, but directly graduated and started pursuing a master's degree right away!

  "The Fourth Master and Fourth Mistress's luck is not too good, when drawing the war beast for Third Young Master, they only drew this." The old servant who came to deliver the message was a bit uneasy, knelt on the ground and knocked his head several times before presenting the brocade box with trembling hands.

  "What the heck is this Five Elements Puppet Mouse? This is too much of a rip-off, these Five Elements Puppet Mice are all first-level special class battle beasts, they're only good for scouting and nothing else. And to think that one contract can summon five of them, what a waste of precious pages! Our clan has countless top-notch puppet beasts, like the third-grade Bronze War Wolves and fourth-grade Silver War Tigers. Why did Grandfather give us this? Is this some kind of prank by Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle? What's the point of Third Brother getting stuck with this?" Black-clothed Yue Bing took it over, opened it up for a look, and his face turned even paler, his voice rising sharply in indignation.

  "Bing Er, don't be rude to your elders!" The beautiful woman scolded lightly.

  She turned to face Yuyang and said gently, "Third son, if this war beast is not good, we won't make a contract, and you mustn't harbor resentment in your heart. As a member of the Yue family, no matter what our elders give us, it's all a blessing. Accumulating blessings and virtues, without relying on external forces, striving tirelessly - that's the foundation of being human."

  Hei Yi Xue lowered her head, but she still felt that her clan was not being fair to her family, and she felt wronged in her heart.

  As soon as Yueyang received the brocade box, a strange stream of information suddenly flashed through his mind, giving him an epiphany.

  The Five Elements Puppet Mouse was created by Yue Gong, a ghost genius and one of the three heroes who revived the Yue family 600 years ago. The Yue family had lost most of its gun techniques and secret manuals, and with each generation being weaker than the last, the family gradually declined. However, three exceptional individuals were born, reviving the Yue family and earning them the title of "Revival Trio" from their juniors. They reversed the decline and rebuilt the Yue family into an unshakeable pillar among the four great families. Among them, Yue Gong's invention of a special type of puppet beast was renowned throughout the world. The outside world may not know about the Yue family's gun techniques, or the "Great Earth Bear" strengthening-type war beasts passed down through generations, or the "Wu Mu Soldier Method" that only the successive heads of the household could learn, but they would certainly know that the Yue family is the ancestral home of puppet war beasts.

  Whether they were mercenaries, warriors, blacksmiths, merchants or even low-ranking soldiers in the army, they all looked up to this genius craftsman, Yue Gong.

  Because of this genius, Yue Gong invented hundreds of kinds of puppet beasts that could be easily chosen and used, bringing great convenience in both life and battle.

  This ghostly craftsman Yue Gong was revered by the imperial family as one of the 'Divine Carpenters' enshrined in the great temple, and among the people he is regarded as the ancestral master of puppetry and mechanics.

  Such an outstanding figure actually invented a useless five-element puppet mouse, leaving his tribesmen baffled.

  This ghostly genius was frail and sickly, and overworked himself to the point of exhaustion, dying young in the puppet palace without having time to organize his lifelong wish, the "Puppet Treasure Book", leaving behind many bizarre puppet beasts that his family could not understand. For example, the most puzzling one is this five-element puppet mouse that he loved dearly but was completely useless.

  Later generations did not dare to speculate too much, but only thought that this was one of the maiden works made by Guo Xiang when he was not yet famous, and he had special feelings in his heart, so he would cherish it even more.

  For six hundred years, no one has been willing to accept this useless and excessive five-element puppet mouse that summons the name of the treasure.

  Until today, he was unfortunately drawn by Siu Yik and fell into the hands of Yeung Yang.

  "What the elder gives, I dare not refuse! This five-element puppet mouse warrior, I've taken it, thank you Fourth Uncle and also thank you for your teachings, Fourth Aunt!" Yueshang's classmate put on a good boy's appearance, but if he hadn't used his discerning eye to discover that this five-element puppet mouse was a treasure earlier, would he have wanted it? Now this hard-to-come-by treasure is easily obtained, and he can't help but feel secretly delighted.

  "Our ancestors are blessed, and our third son's future is boundless." The beautiful woman was delighted to see that Yueshang was so well-behaved, and she nodded repeatedly, saying "good" again and again.

  "Third Brother, never contract with them! The Five Elements Puppet Mouse may look the same as other summoned beasts on the surface, but once contracted, there will be five of them - Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth - taking up five summoning slots. The Bronze Treasure Book's initial stage only has ten pages, and you've already used up your first three pages, not to mention the useless Spit Flower Needle. If you go for another five pages, there will only be two pages left. Listen to me, Third Brother, this must be a deliberate arrangement by some people... They're afraid that you'll successfully turn things around, afraid that our four houses will fight for power in the future. These Five Elements Puppet Mice absolutely cannot be contracted!" Black-clad Yue Bing was anxious, grabbing onto Yue Yang's hand to prevent him from contracting with these Five Elements Puppet Mice.
