When choosing his second spirit ring, Wei Ming's primary target was his martial spirit race—the Azure Flame Golden Roc.
However, the Soul Hunting Forest, which is kept by the Spirit Hall, does not have rare and precious spirit beasts like the Azure Flame Golden Roc. One must personally go to the higher canyon area to try one's luck.
The Azure Flame Golden Roc typically lives on cliffs and uses its incredibly destructive beak to carve out a cave in the hard cliff face to make its home.
Someone else might choose to use what's available and select other types of soul beasts directly from the Soul Hunting Forest.
But Qian Renxue didn't want to settle.
Since there is a best option, and they have the manpower and resources to find the most suitable second link for her, then it must be the best.
It's foolish not to use resources you have.
After the teacher and students reached an agreement, they prepared to move to a different location.
With Wei Ming, an 86-level Soul Douluo, and two Soul Saints averaging 75 levels, as long as they don't encounter Title Douluos, protecting Qian Renxue is definitely not a problem.
On the Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of Title Douluos, but 60% of them are pillars of the Spirit Hall. Even if they are unlucky enough to encounter a Title Douluo, they will give face and turn a blind eye unless they have a major grudge. They will not directly break ties with the Spirit Hall and become its enemies.
A long trip that could be taken on a whim begins.
To save time and avoid any unforeseen complications, Wei Ming immediately entered the form of his Martial Soul Possession, with a pair of platinum wings extending from his back, carrying Qian Renxue on their journey, because even the nearest canyon was several hundred kilometers away.
The rolling mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, a barren expanse of yellowish-brown, resembling the humps of camels, perched on the mountain range, with towering cliffs carved out by steep, massive crevasses.
The wind blowing in my face carried away bits of sand.
Qian Renxue rubbed her eyes uncomfortably, her eyes filled with sand. The vermilion on her right wrist seemed to shimmer with a golden light in the bright sunlight.
Wei Ming glanced at the girlish accessory on the student's wrist but didn't suspect anything about the soul tool.
Which master craftsman would use hemp rope or similar rope to forge a soul tool?
He stepped forward, blocking Qian Renxue's path, and made a gesture. Two Soul Saint-level Temple Knights, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately stepped out and knelt on one knee.
Wei Ming calmly ordered, "Go and find out if there are any fire caves in this canyon."
The so-called Fire Cave is a cave carved into the cliff face by the Azure Flame Golden Roc.
As for why it's called the Fire Cave, it's because the temperature inside the cave where the Azure Flame Golden Roc lives changes due to their own fire attribute, making the indoor temperature several times higher than the outside temperature. Entering it is like entering a sauna, extremely hot.
The higher the temperature inside the cave, the more it proves that the Azure Flame Golden Roc lives in this cave.
If there is no heat, it means that the original inhabitants of this place have been gone for quite some time.
"yes."
Two Soul Saints received the order, and seven imposing Soul Rings simultaneously rose from beneath their feet.
The top three spirit rings all have the best two yellow and one purple ratio on the continent, which is the highest standard.
The two Soul Saints, whose Martial Souls both belonged to the avian category, unleashed their Martial Soul Possession. With a flap of their enormous wings, they transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the canyon like arrows.
A short while later, the two Soul Saints who had gone to scout ahead returned.
Bored, Qian Renxue looked up, her eyes bright, and asked, "Did you find it?"
The two Soul Saints shook their heads. "We only found one fire cave, but the temperature inside was cold. The Azure Flame Golden Roc that used to live in that cave must have left a long time ago."
"I see..." Qian Renxue's eyes dimmed, and Wei Ming comforted her, "It's alright, Xiaoxue. The Azure Flame Golden Roc is rare enough. We'll just go to the next canyon."
That's all we can do.
Qian Renxue suppressed her regret and silently counted the days she had been away, a touch of melancholy rising in her heart.
......
In the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Yuelong, who spends her days eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, then spacing out and going back to sleep, has an uninvited guest today.
"Please wait a moment! Your Holiness, the lady is feeding the young lady. The High Priest has ordered that the lady must recuperate alone for the next year and that no one else is allowed to visit her..."
The maid's flustered voice came from outside the door.
It was so clear in the calm, almost indifferent room.
Held in Bibi Dong's arms, Qian Yuelong clearly saw that her adoptive mother, whose face was always filled with indifference and unknown sorrow, revealed a deep disgust on her beautiful but pale face after hearing the maid say "Your Holiness the Pope," and her eyes were filled with lingering hatred and murderous intent.
Qian Yuelong: 'Oh ho.'
886: [It's almost over.]
"Insolence! I am the Pope, the one who governs this vast Spirit Hall. Where on Spirit Hall's territory can't I go?!"
The person arrived before the voice.
Before Bibi Dong could forcefully take action, Qian Yuelong considerately relented, allowing Bibi Dong to lay her flat on the bed. The emotions that had been showing on her face instantly disappeared, and she erected a high wall of indifference, which was both a disguise and a form of protection.
Wrapped up like a silkworm, Qian Yuelong carefully twisted her body, tilted her little face up, and looked at the blond man walking towards her in silver knight boots. Since she was almost half a year old, she had finally met this rumored scumbag father - Qian Xunji.
The man with flowing, shoulder-length blond hair had handsome, angular features that gave him a cold, marble-like appearance under the room's lighting. His thin lips made him look like a potential candidate for the ruthless path of severing emotions and sterilizing the body.
Qian Yuelong, who had learned a little about physiognomy from the astrology monks in her previous life at school, sighed to herself.
886: [...]
Those of you who cultivate the ruthless path see everyone through a filter.
The mere mention of the ruthless path of you breaks my heart.
"My good disciple, it's been almost a year since we last met, hasn't it?"
Qian Xunji slightly raised his chin, his scrutinizing gaze sweeping over Qian Yuelong, who was staring at him with her eyes open. He smirked, not annoyed that Bibi Dong had turned her back to him, but instead bent down and picked up Qian Yuelong in Bibi Dong's peripheral vision.
Upon witnessing this scene, Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, her fingers gripping the thin blanket twitched, and a deep disgust rose in her eyes as she turned away from Qian Xunji.
"This is our youngest daughter?"
Ignored, Qian Xunji's gaze lingered for a moment on Qian Yuelong's slightly longer silver-white hair. He narrowed his eyes and then looked at the golden wing pattern on Qian Yuelong's forehead, which was half-hidden by the soft wisps of hair. The downward curve of his gaze rose slightly again, but then, as if he had thought of something, the curve returned to its original position.
Qian Yuelong, who clearly saw the change in Qian Xunji's expression, was speechless.
He looks like he really has some serious illness.
—A side note—
The fierce fish shed tears; you simply cannot imagine what the black carp went through today.
First, last night I was heartbroken because my Genshin Impact pity pull didn't go as planned, and I fell asleep feeling terrible. Then, when I woke up this morning and was about to set up my save file next door, I discovered that my friend had lost all of my 20,000+ words—I didn't even back them up, sob sob. And then, my school quiz results came out, and I failed two out of four subjects (screams like a groundhog).
The second update will be a little later because I can only write it now. I'll post it after I finish writing it, sob sob.
