Chapter 187: Chapter 135: New Special Item: Oath Contract
That night, Cheng Zongyang took the Golden Sand he had panned from the Storehouse and left the Inner Mountain Pass.
The amount of Golden Sand he had panned over the past two days was significant. He estimated it weighed about six or seven taels.
In truth, this amount had far exceeded his expectations. The Gold reserves in that area were truly plentiful!
It was definitely a gold-rich zone.
This cented his decision to develop that area in the future.
’After being busy for a few days, I finally have ti to enter the Wilderness World.’
Appearing in the market hut, Cheng Zongyang instantly blocked the countless notification chis.
They were all notifications for Points his Soul Slaves had gained from butchering fish.
He glanced at the Acquisitions tab first. It still showed the sa three types of fish, but with a value of only 350 Points. He imdiately had Ma San fetch the fish, then took out the Golden Sand he was carrying and the five taels and two mace of Gold left over from last ti.
Last ti, seven taels and three mace of gold jewelry had been purified down to six taels and two mace. He had spent one tael to unlock the fourth item slot, which had generated a special item: a Preservation Warehouse.
Every ti he unlocked a new item slot, the first item to appear was a special one.
This greatly heightened his anticipation!
After completing the transaction, a series of notifications appeared:
[Placer Gold detected. Purity: 93%. Weight: Six taels, four mace. Can be purified into six taels.]
[Gold detected: Eleven taels, two mace. You may spend ten taels of Gold to unlock the fifth item slot. Confirm?]
[Confirm] / [Cancel]
’Confirm!’
Suppressing his excitent, Cheng Zongyang confird his choice to unlock the fifth slot.
The next mont, the item slots flashed faintly. A new slot materialized next to the fourth one, and an item had already generated within it.
He focused his gaze on it, and his expression slowly grew solemn.

Staring at the newly appeared Oath Contract, Cheng Zongyang stood frozen on the spot.
Both its effects and its price in Points far exceeded his expectations!
’An Oath Contract?’
Ignoring the other items for sale, Cheng Zongyang bought this one first.
One Point. It was practically a giveaway!
He was extrely curious about its effects. To think that a single signing would cost him three days of his life!
He was literally trading his life for the contract’s validity!
[You have obtained the Oath Contract Template. You may summon the template at any ti to begin drafting a contract.
①: With the exception of certain unalterable key clauses, the rest of the Oath Contract can be edited, anded, or completely rewritten.
②: The Oath Contract cannot be drafted to unilaterally bind only one party. Both parties must make sworn promises.
③: The completed template can be materialized. The contract is signed by providing a fingerprint. Upon successful signing, three days of Lifespan will be deducted from Party A.
④: The contract cannot be altered after signing and can only be voided by Party A. Once voided, the Oath Contract becos invalid, and the spent Lifespan will not be refunded.
⑤: The Oath Contract has a ti limit, with a maximum duration of ten years. It can be renewed.
⑥: Anyone who violates their oath will suffer the penalty for their transgression, their Soul Returns to the Wilderness, and double the Lifespan cost will be refunded to Party A.]
’Show
the contract template.’
After reading the prompts, a thought flashed through Cheng Zongyang’s mind.
Instantly, a beast-hide scroll, about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, materialized before him.
Its contents were displayed on the hide.

Gazing at the incredibly crude template, Cheng Zongyang was lost in thought.
It was crude, but it was also simple.
All he had to do was fill in the blanks according to the instructions, and he would have a drafted Oath Contract.
According to the description, the Oath Contract would only take effect after both parties willingly provided their fingerprints, at which point three days would be deducted from his Lifespan.
Of course, if he wasn’t satisfied with this template, or if it didn’t suit the kind of oath he wanted to make, he could also draft an entirely new one himself. But there was one clause—the only mandatory one—that had to be included.
