Zhu Family Canteen!
The eldest sister, Zhu Zhuyun, needed to accompany the eldest prince to study at the intermediate soul master academy, so she didn't come back often.
Zhu Zhuqing and her second sister's words...
Forehead!
Zhu Zhuyu has a kind of lazy, unambitious attitude; her talent is average, and so is her effort.
With her life no longer in danger, she was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.
I definitely won't go to any academies or anything like that; it's not like I can't afford a private tutor!
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, took advantage of Zhu Zhuyu's teaching resources.
Both were ordinary people with innate "level 5" soul power, so there wasn't much difference in teaching them.
Finally, there's the issue of food.
Needless to say, the food at the Grand Duke's house is absolutely top-notch!
that is...
Two girls, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyu, sat at a huge dining table, which was filled with all sorts of precious ingredients.
That's right!
The two sisters ate together during mealtime.
You really can't expect to see much kinship in the Zhu family of the Underworld.
As for their parents having meals with them, that will have to wait until their eldest sister comes back.
They usually eat together as two "good-for-nothings".
Zhu Zhuyu is thirteen years old this year, and her soul power is level twenty-three.
To have cultivated to this level with innate level five soul power, it's not fair to say that Zhu Zhuyu cultivated with great diligence; it's just that the resources provided by the Zhu family were abundant.
"I'm level 10!"
Zhu Zhuqing said to Zhu Zhuyu.
As Zhu Zhuqing's second older sister, Zhu Zhuyu basically manages all of Zhu Zhuqing's affairs, supposedly to train Zhu Zhuyu's housekeeping skills.
After all, the Zhu family will need to provide high-quality women who are good at managing households in the future.
"Hmm, judging by the timeline, it's about this time now, a bit faster than when I was here!"
Zhu Zhuyu wasn't surprised at all; she herself had reached level ten around the same time after awakening her martial soul.
My third sister's talent is "similar" to mine, and she's also "worked harder" than I was back then, so it's not surprising that she broke through level ten ahead of time.
"Sister, when are you going to arrange a Soul Hunt for me?"
Zhu Zhuqing continued.
"Tomorrow, I'll give the order today. Tomorrow, the guards will take you to the Netherworld Canyon to hunt for a soul ring!"
The Netherworld Canyon is where the Zhu family kept the Netherworld Cats.
Every year, the Zhu family captures Netherworld Cats from all over the world and raises them in the Netherworld Canyon.
Of course, the Netherworld Cats in the Netherworld Canyon also reproduce on their own.
Fortunately, the number of people in the Youming Zhu family is not large.
Therefore, since the opening of the Netherworld Canyon, there has never been a shortage of soul beasts.
In fact, as time went by, the number of Netherworld Cats in the Netherworld Canyon actually increased.
Ghostly cats that are at least a thousand years old are no longer rare.
That's enough for the Netherworld Clan to supply one or two soul rings for a very, very long time.
Even further ahead, supplying millennium-old soul rings wouldn't be a problem!
"Um!"
She nodded obediently. There was no life-or-death struggle between them. Although the two sisters' relationship wasn't particularly good, they weren't hostile to each other either.
She wasn't worried that Zhu Zhuyu would do anything detrimental to her.
And so, early the next morning, Zhu Zhuqing left Xingluo Imperial City under the escort of a pair of guards, heading towards the Zhu family's important territory.
Ghost Valley, Ghost Valley.
It goes without saying that it is a huge canyon.
Moreover, the fact that this canyon has become a gathering place for spirit beasts shows just how big it is.
It is precisely because of the unique geographical environment that the ghostly cats kept there do not escape their surveillance.
The Netherworld Canyon has two exits, and the Zhu family has assigned many people to guard each one.
The one with the highest soul power is a top-tier Soul Emperor.
The one with the highest soul power in the Netherworld Canyon is a Netherworld Cat King that has just reached the age of ten thousand.
Two Soul Emperors are enough to guard the exit!
Their team was led by a Soul King, so there was no need to worry about their safety.
After greeting the officers on duty, Zhu Zhuqing entered the Netherworld Canyon under the cover of the team leader and others.
"Miss, have you decided what age of spirit ring you want?"
At this moment, the captain of the guards spoke up and asked.
Although they basically decide what age of spirit rings to hunt based on their own judgment, they are all veterans.
However, we still need to go through the most basic procedures, so let's just ask a few questions as a formality.
"Ideally, it should be close to five hundred years!"
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't unwilling to equip herself with a thousand-year soul ring, but she knew it was impossible just by thinking about it!
Being one step ahead of others is genius, but being two steps ahead is monster!
In the Douluo Continent, how can you stand out without real strength?
Does she really think that watching palace dramas was a waste of time?
And even if she has paranoia.
Anyway, she should just behave herself until she has the ability.
However, we should still fight for what we should fight for.
With her strong physique, absorbing a 500-year-old soul ring shouldn't be a problem, right?
And it's not like you can't bargain for this!
I said, why don't you just lower the 500-year mark a bit?
"good!"
However, the captain of the guard did not think too much about it and nodded in agreement.
The members of the Youming Zhu family are all nobles. They have been consuming various soul beast meats since childhood to build their foundation, and they have also been cultivating for two years since their awakening.
Absorbing a five-hundred-year-old soul ring shouldn't be a big problem.
The captain of the guard's quick agreement made Zhu Zhuqing feel like she had missed out on five million.
She felt she should have added a little more.
We should have said six hundred years ago!
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to slap herself.
You're so careful even when you're smashing it yourself!
As the Zhu family's Soul Hunting Team, these people understand the Netherworld Cat even better than many owners of the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.
Logically speaking, the path of the Soul Hunter should be kept quiet, but because of Zhu Zhuqing's request, the Soul Hunter Captain began to explain the knowledge about the Netherworld Cat to Zhu Zhuqing as they walked.
In this way, Zhu Zhuqing learned more and more about the Netherworld Cat.
No wonder he's the captain of the Soul Hunter Squad.
That's a truly extensive knowledge base!
Suddenly, the team leader, who had been explaining the Netherworld Cat to the team one-on-one, stopped in his tracks.
At the same time, under his command, everyone squatted down.
"Xunfeng, protect the Third Miss!"
"Everyone else, scatter! A target spotted about 100 meters ahead!"
The Netherworld Cat is adept at concealing itself, so it's really hard to find it without a specific soul skill.
The captain of the guard, a Soul Master whose Martial Soul is a snake, is extremely sensitive to heat.
He is one of the best at finding the Netherworld Cat.
This is why he was able to become the Soul Hunter Captain.
The Soul Hunter team consisted of seven people. After leaving one person to protect Zhu Zhuqing and provide support, the remaining five rushed out.
One Soul King, four Soul Masters!
To capture a 500-year-old ghost cat...
Only these big-time dog owners would do something like that!
Anyway, Zhu Zhuqing doesn't admit that she's a dog-owning tycoon!
Almost immediately, a half-meter-tall purple cat was thrown at Zhu Zhuqing's feet.
With five yellow stripes on its tail, it is undoubtedly a five-hundred-year-old Netherworld Cat.
Looking at the dying Netherworld Cat, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and went to its side.
Seeing the Netherworld Cat, which was still filled with hatred in its eyes even though it was seriously injured, Zhu Zhuqing reached out with her right hand without any hesitation.
The right fingernail grew instantly, and a purple light shimmered on it.
Without any hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing forcefully pierced through the eyes of the Netherworld Cat.
