The first level of the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique, the Qi Creation Scroll, is somewhat mysterious, but since she's just a beginner, it's difficult for her to grasp the essence of it. It's not sufficient to fend off formidable enemies, but if she becomes a Summoner, commanding a legion of Summoned Beasts, merely the saliva from one beast would be enough to drown an adversary alive.
"Summoner? Don't mock me for not having read 'Continent History.' The Witch Summoning Clan has been extinct for many years. With you being nothing more than a dandelion, with hardly any backbone, what way do you have to make me a Summoner?" Yue Jinghua took a step back to advance, no longer rejecting but instead probing further.
"To become a Witch Summoner, two conditions are required: you need to have sufficiently powerful spiritual power and elemental affinity," Qing Pu said. When his physical body was destroyed, he was already a Star Diamond ranked Summoner, capable of summoning Super Ninth-level Dark Beasts.
With his cultivation and experience, it's much easier to train "Yue Jinghua" into a Summoner than to become a Dark Practitioner, it's a pity that the past "Yue Jinghua" was a hopeless case.
"Her" spiritual power is very weak, barely at the Lower Class, and her elemental affinity is even at the Lowest, with such aptitudes, even if she became a Summoner, she could only be the most insignificant Summoning Apprentice for her whole life, only able to summon First Rank and Second Rank Dark Beasts.
Such strength was clearly insufficient to achieve Qing Pu's purpose.
As for the natural talent to become a Summoner, it's not really "Yue Jinghua"'s fault.
On the Canglong Continent, the Witch Summoning Clan had thrived for a thousand years before, and then their numbers dwindled, eventually becoming extinct.
That was because the Dark Practitioners on the Canglong Continent paid more attention to refining Dark Energy and neglected the cultivation of spiritual power. Furthermore, the natural elements between heaven and earth became increasingly unstable, while Dark Energy was relatively stable, leading to the complete demise of Summoners.
With no other choice, Qing Pu had to help "Yue Jinghua" cultivate the Dark Skill. Although he was a Summoner, his cultivation in the Dark Skill had reached the Heavenly Dark Realm, and it was more than enough for him to guide a Dark Human. With relentless pressure, he brought out "Yue Jinghua"'s early genius once more.
But later, "Yue Jinghua" suffered damage to her appearance overnight, and a mysterious Demon Mark was branded upon her. The Demon Mark on her right face not only absorbed Yin Evil Energy but also devoured the Dark Energy inside her body. In order to prevent "her" body from being harmed by the demonic power backlash, Qing Pu had to use both his own and "Yue Jinghua"'s Dark Energy to resist the erosion from the Demon Mark. Over time, "Yue Jinghua"'s cultivation greatly declined, and within three years, a genius had turned into a waste.
"How can I know if I possess enough spiritual power and elemental affinity to become a Summoner?" Yue Jing continued to ask.
"In terms of spiritual power, you are the first person in hundreds of years who can connect with my spiritual power and form a spiritual clash. Your spiritual power is quite good, and with a little training, it can become strong," Qing Pu was also a clever person, and just by the tone of Yue Jing's words, he knew she was already interested in becoming a Summoner, so he naturally went with the flow and continued speaking.
"As for elemental affinity, infuse the Dark Energy within you into this sphere," he said, with a testing Crystal Ball appearing in his hand.
Yue Jinghua channeled her Spiritual Power into the Crystal Ball.
The Crystal Ball remained transparent, with no change occurring.
"!" No color, it means that Yue Jinghua in front of us is unable to summon any elemental power, even more lacking than "Yue Jinghua" from the past, who at least could summon a trace of fire elemental power.
Qing Pu gave a bitter smile, withdrew the crystal ball, and finally met a talent with spiritual power on par with his own, only to discover that she had not the slightest elemental affinity.
Being unable to feel the power of elements also means being unable to summon.
The last sliver of hope in Qing Pu's heart was shattered. Could it be that there really was no one suitable to become a Summoner in this world, was he destined to never see the day of success?
"Let me try again," Yue Jinghua felt the strand of Creation Power within her stirring to life, as if reminding her to channel it into the crystal ball.
In the crystal ball, a hazy fog appeared, and immediately, the pendant emitted a burst of dazzling colors, so bright that Yue Jinghua and Qing Pu could not keep their eyes open.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, time, space, full attribute elemental power, Yue Jinghua, you really are a prodigy that shocks the world, the very first All-element Summoner under the heavens," Qing Pu was momentarily dumbfounded, feeling as if struck by lightning, he could hardly believe what he saw in the crystal ball.
The power of Creation, the most mysterious force in the heavens and the earth, one could not know what it contained, but when Yue Jinghua channeled that strand of power into the crystal ball, all surrounding elemental powers, like cats smelling fish, all crowded over.
"All Attributes, is that good or bad?" While it's true that one should not bite off more than one can chew, Yue Jinghua still understood this principle.
"There are advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on your cultivation later on. Both conditions are met now, it's just a pity that on Dragon Road of Canglong Continent today, there is no one who can make Summoning Treasure Books, unless," Qing Pu knew much more about the Canglong Continent than Yue Jinghua did now, he already knew that Summoners no longer existed on the continent.
It is said that Summoning Treasure Books and Summoners are inseparable existences, like the left hand to the right hand; a Witch Summoning Clan member can only contract one Summoning Treasure Book in a lifetime. As they improve their level, the Summoning Treasure Book advances. Only when the original Witch Summoner dies, the Summoning Treasure Book becomes masterless; powerful Witch Summoners can contract Summoning Treasure Books of equal or weaker strength, but that also means they must give up their original Summoning Treasure Book.
"Old Xia's grocery store has an ownerless Summoning Treasure Book, it's just unfortunate it's a damaged one, and it might not be usable. Moreover, it requires ten thousand Gold Coins; I never spend money on useless things," Yue Jing shrugged her shoulders.
"Who says a Summoner needs a Summoning Treasure Book? That's just an outdated method of inferior summoners. I have a way for you to become a Summoner, just," Qing Pu stopped short, blinking his peach-blossom eyes temptingly at Yue Jinghua, just waiting for her to ask.
Yue Jinghua remained indifferent; oh, he's too naive to try the tactic of feigning indifference to attract interest with her, "If it's too difficult, don't force it. I'll just not become a Summoner. Cats and dogs, I've never liked them."
A surge of frustration welled up in Qing Pu's chest, and a vein throbbed on his forehead like a wriggling worm, damn woman.
She dared to equate the noble Summoned Beasts with cats and dogs, she refused to learn, but he insisted on teaching her, to let her see what a peerless Diamond-level Summoner is, "I can teach you how to draw a Summoning Array, but I have one condition, let my true form become your Life-bound Contracted Beast, temporarily residing in that Treasure Book."
