Linmei led them to a private room in the back of the building. The room was a sealed black room. The table had a hole for the egg. Around the hole were about a hundred symbols arranged in a specific pattern. This was the pact of equality that is used to bind the companion and the human together.

There are actually three different pacts you can make, equality, slave, and resonance. Equality means the two of you are equal and can sometimes share each other powers. Slave refers to master and slave. Generally this is used on a stronger beast to cause absolute loyalty. Resonance is used only by the shaman warriors. Each shaman warriors is taken to be matched with their spiritual or demonic beast partner that will last for life. They have a special test to look for compatibility of the two. There are two differences between the equality pact and one of it is that the shaman warrior has the ability to fuse with their companion. The companion would then be weakened for a whole day or more depending on the length of fusion. The second is the stronger the shaman warrior the more companions he or she can have but they can only fuse with one at a time. The equality pact on the other hand only allows up to three companions at most. The slave pact on the other hand allows you to have infinite slaves but each slave you own a little piece of your soul will be embedded into the slave and will cause you to weaken. Thus most warriors like to have the equality pact.

“Please place the egg there directed” pointed Linmei.

Xiaowei did as she was told. Then she brought out a tiny life.

“Use this knife and cut your finger to draw out blood. Then drip it on the egg. This will initiate the contract.

Xiaowei did as he was told and used the knife to cut his finger. A drop of blood slowly dripped out of his wound. Upon landing on the egg, the egg instantly absorbed the blood. They all stared at the egg. A few second went by.

“That’s weird the pact should have activated by now.”

“Maybe the blood was too little” answered Uncle Ming.

“That shouldn’t be the case. I’ve done this more than one hundred times and all the eggs only required one drop of blood to activate the pact,” Linmei said doubtfully.

“Let’s try adding more blood. Xiaowei’s blood is a little special compared to other kids” Ming didn’t bother hiding the secret because there was no point in hiding it. His face was all over the news anyway.

“Ok” answers Xiaowei and this time he didn’t drip one by multiple drops.

Still egg soaks up the blood like a sponge not leaving even a hint of red behind.

“Is this supposed to happen,” questioned Xiaowei.

“Why is it eating up his blood so fast? It’s a low rank beast. It should do that,” Linmei said and lifts up her left arm and hologram of a computer screen appeared from her watch. She looked through the inventory and asked someone to check the box she got the egg from incase she got the wrong egg.

Xiaowei thinking it was interesting that the egg kept eating his blood that he kept dripping at it. His index finger moved up and down forcing out the drops blood. A couple minutes later the blood stopped dripping. He dripped at least 100cc worth of blood and still no effect.

Uncle Ming then notices something strange on the egg. The blue line wrapping around the egg was changing colors.

“Xiaowei drip more blood on it. Your almost there,” Uncle Ming whispered to Xiaowei. He has seen this before. It was when his brother’s wife Linmei got the Empress Dragon as a companion it required a certain amount of blood from the initiator to begin the process.

“I’ll talk to my manager. I’ll be right back” Linmei the assistance said.

Xiaowei then made another cut on his right finger and started the process over again. After about a pint of blood was drawn from Xiaowei he started to feel dizzy, but the symbols on the tables began to shine. Ming could feel the fluctuation of qi as the physical form of qi in those patterns began to float. It began wrapping around the egg. Those symbols began to work the egg like a master sewer, weaving in and out of the egg. The fire symbols on the egg began to sprout like lotus flowers. The blue line puffs up a bit and blue energy starts swirling around. Electric could also be seen fly around the egg. Then in a split-second it absorbed everything and went back to how it was before.

Xiaowei and Uncle Ming looked at it dumb founded. Xiaowei has looked at other people’s video of the equality pact but none of this ever happened.

Five seconds after it went back to normal a ripple of energy surged out of the egg. The whole shop went frenzy. The entire demonic beast population in the shop started howling and banging themselves onto the cage. Xiaowei and Uncle Ming both felt the ripple and heard the commotion outside.

Linmei who was with her manager thought what the hell is going? The manager looks just as confused. The manager immediately realizes the danger they are in. All the demonic beast have gone crazy. It seems that they are at death's door. The manager immediately went onto his watch and initiated a code red. All the employees knew what this was and began bring the customers out calmly.

Linmei sprint into Xiaowei's room yelling “Hurry you guys have to leave. There was some kind of energy ripple and the beasts have all gone berserk. Take the egg with you and we can do the pact next time. We are very sorry about this. This has never happened before.”

“Its’ ok we can do the pact at home. Please rest; assure that your assistance was most helpful,” Uncle Ming smiled and brought Xiaowei out the door with him.

“Take this with you then if you’re doing the pact at home” Linmei said handing him a small black box. It was a two inch cube.

Uncle Ming accepted it and brought Xiaowei away. Afraid they might link the cause to them. Xiaowei was hugging the egg that was the size of a football as his uncle brought him outside. Leo pulled his car up a couple seconds and they hurrily got in.

“Seems like you got a treasure,” Uncle Ming smirked.

“Its just a tier 5 companion,” answer Xiaowei doubtfully but he was thinking his blood must have made it special.

Uncle Ming handed him a black box. Xiaowei knew what this black box was. It’s a pocket dimension for demonic beasts. There are different tiers for each box too. Generally speaking it ranges from tier 1 to 12. The boxes are called beast cubes and this cube is connected to a personal pocket dimension. The higher the tier the stronger the dimension is and the larger it is. Most of the time people get a beast cube that is one tier above there beasts. It is a space where they use to recover their energy or to rest. A little like a pokeball. This was invented 500 hundred years ago because some beasts are just way too big to bring around with you in the city. Xiaowei’s family business is also pocket dimensions. They have created spatial rings and beast boxes. They are competing for first rank with the Su family who are one of the top ten powerhouse family on this continent. Even though they are both equal in wealth the Su family has an Ancestor realm cultivator backing them up. Each of the top ten family all has an Ancestor Realm cultivator backing them up.

There is also a reason why the Zhang family has not been crushed even though they don’t have an Ancestor Realm cultivator is because they have a treasure that would be able to bring all the cultivators up another realm for 24 hours. The consequence of this treasure is to lose a whole realm worth of cultivation. So it is a double edge sword. They are not willing to use it unless absolutely necessary. The Top ten powerhouse not wanting to give the other nine and edge over them chose to ignore the Zhang family’s progress and leave them allow for the time being. Since no matter how much wealth they gain the true power of a family is still in the family cultivator.

When Xiaowei and Ming got back that night they were greeted with a full on meal. Uncle Ming told Xiaowei to keep what happen today a secret and only Uncle Lin would know about it. They feel like trust in their other family member is a little shaky right now.
