The Heavenly Crocodile fell silent. How much mental strength would it take to make a soul beast willingly sacrifice itself?
Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well just kill and absorb them!
Chihiro thought for a moment and continued:
"Sacrificing myself is unlikely. My current mental strength is only enough to charm a soul beast that is at most a thousand years old. Even at level 20, it's impossible to charm a two-thousand-year-old one all at once. Besides, two thousand years for a second-ring soul beast is a bit low for me. It's better to just hunt and absorb it directly."
Changing the subject,
"However, I can't sacrifice myself, but I can sacrifice for those of lower level than me. Once I cultivate to the level of Title Douluo, my spiritual power, combined with the unique attraction of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item to soul beasts, will be enough to cultivate a soul master with all black or even all red soul rings!"
Qian Renxue, who is currently winning the reincarnation race, says: Auntie, roll it up quickly! My future depends on you!
"Hmm...not a bad idea. We can study it slowly in the future. I believe that with your talent, you should be able to make some progress! Alright! Without further ado, let's return to the Spirit Hall now, take the people, and head to the far north!"
"Um!"
...
Back at the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi were already in place, along with a girl with light blue hair, wearing a light blue dress, delicate and gentle features, and a cool and pure temperament, who was about twenty years old.
"This must be Sister Shui Xiao'er, the genius student of this year's Tianshui Academy. Hello, I am Qian Xunqian, the current Pope's cousin."
Shui Xiao'er nodded politely and asked:
"I wonder what brings Miss Qian here? I imagine it's more than just helping me hunt for a spirit ring."
Chihiro smiled and said:
"Sister, you are truly intelligent and perceptive. I do indeed have an important matter that requires your help, and helping me hunt for a spirit ring is a small reward for you. I will repay you handsomely in the future!"
"May I find out in advance?"
"Of course, you are now our partner and naturally have the right to know."
Qianxunqian didn't hide anything; the core technology was in her hands. The innate soul power cultivation device was not only a theoretical concept but also required actual assembly. How could Ning Fengzhi plagiarize it just by talking?
"After three years of hard work and trying thousands of materials, I finally obtained a ten-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm by chance. I discovered that this type of soul beast hardly moves at all. Its daily activities are lying on the icy and snowy ground and swallowing large mouthfuls of ice and snow."
"Moreover, its abdomen can produce silkworm silk containing soul power, which immediately made me think of making it into a soul power absorber for cultivating innate soul power!"
"Its advantages are that it doesn't move around randomly and can maintain one posture for hundreds or even tens of thousands of years! It absorbs soul power slowly, which also means it is stable! Most importantly, as a soul beast, it is rich in protein, which is a food-grade material. It is extremely easy to recycle, as it only needs to be digested in the stomach!"
"We only need to provide it with enough ice and snow, and it will be able to transform the subtle soul power contained in the ice and snow into silk. The silk of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is extremely fine. With a little centrifugation, it can be absorbed by the human body and transformed into pure innate soul power!"
"Innate soul power is initially contained in the dantian of the human body. Only after the martial soul is awakened will it flow along the meridians to the martial soul, which allows the martial soul to be cultivated. This is the first model, which is applicable to soul masters who have not yet awakened their martial soul."
"As for the second type, which is applicable to Soul Masters who have awakened their Martial Soul, it is still under research."
Shui Xiao'er's mouth was so wide it could fit a large egg, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Really...really? Are you telling the truth? A Soul Master's innate Soul Power can really be cultivated later in life? Really?"
Chihiro said meticulously:
"Currently, we only have a model. We still need to capture the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to assemble the device for experiments. First, we'll conduct experiments on soul beasts, then on humans. If the experiments are ultimately successful on humans, we'll make some minor improvements and conduct the first batch of trials, selecting dozens or even hundreds of volunteers to see the success rate, and then..."
Bibi Dong was completely bewildered; how could there be so many steps? She wished the entire Douluo Continent could use it as soon as it was created!
Looking at the shocked and confused crowd, and Bi Jie who was a little dizzy, Qian Xunqian spread her hands helplessly and said:
"There's no other way. This research is conducted on humans, so we must be extremely cautious and conduct repeated tests to ensure that the final product is flawless!"
Bibi Dong fell silent. So this was the true master of martial spirit research who had made contributions to the Douluo Continent. So much research would take at least ten years to make any progress.
If they fail, they will have to spend decades exploring in obscurity.
Yu Xiaogang, the so-called master, merely relied on his spare time to memorize some books and fool people who didn't understand the theory. He earned the title of "master" by leveraging the influence of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Sigh, what kind of world is this?
That's right. Thanks to the divine intervention of Douluo Continent, Shi Yu Xiaogang was brought back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Relying on his father's power, he published his article "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls".
Thanks to Yu Yuanzhen's influence, the two great empires, Haotian Sect, Qibao Liuli Sect and other forces all had their media outlets create hype, and that's how the master's reputation was built!
"Alright, let's go! Let's go catch silkworms!"
Qianxun Qiantian's innocent childlike voice pulled everyone back to reality. Shui Xiao'er, Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, along with Golden Crocodile Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, were quietly traveling in a carriage towards the far north.
The scenery of the Northland is breathtaking, with snow falling for thousands of miles. We haven't even reached the far north yet, and the sky has already started to snow heavily.
Snowfield City, the last human city before entering the far north plateau.
There weren't many people in the city, and everyone was bundled up in thick clothes; the temperature was minus fifty degrees Celsius.
One has to admire the vitality of humankind; even without modern heating systems like central heating and air conditioning, many people have still managed to establish themselves on this cold land.
Bibi Dong and the others all put on thick coats. Qianxun Qian somehow got hold of a penguin costume, and when she put it on, she looked exactly like a chibi version of a certain character from later generations who liked to pull electrical wires.
"Coo-coo-cao-cao!"
The food in the Snow Country is like a pair of smiling tigers and two black sharks compared to Tang San's hometown, Bashu.
Hot, numbing, fresh, fragrant, and spicy!
A bite of mutton hotpot warms the stomach, making the cold of the North seem less daunting.
Wow! It's so spicy!
Bibi Dong's tongue was sticking out from the spiciness, and she kept exhaling white breath, resembling a mysterious species from Earth—the Hakimi.
Qianxunqian also summoned the Youxiang Qiluo Martial Soul, and Bibi Dong felt completely refreshed after smelling its fragrance.
But Chrysanthemum Douluo was unhappy, because the detoxification ability of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product was the best in the Douluo Continent, and the mere spiciness disappeared in an instant.
Before he could even savor it, the spiciness vanished, leaving him no chance to enjoy the food!
