Chapter 358 Make the soul ring even cooler!
Following the guidance of the map, Zhou Qing and his party followed the thick, flat, black-gray, crooked path that had been walked by previous generations of soul masters and found the area where the emerald ferns grew.
Along the way, the group encountered many soul beasts that were ten years old or even a hundred years old, but these soul beasts fled away after hearing some noise.
"The soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest are different from those in the Notting Soul Hunting Forest."
"In the Notting Soul Hunting Forest, even the ten-year-old soul beasts are very aggressive, and the hundred-year-old soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest will not think of attacking people at the first sight, but will run away or hide."
In Romantina's eyes, this situation was very strange.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the soul beasts in a purely wild soul beast forest like the Star Dou Great Forest be more aggressive?
Why is it the other way around?
“Food problem.”
Zhou Qing gave the first reason, "The Soul Beast Forest has been completely controlled by humans. If you kill one soul beast in it, there will be one less. However, soul beasts cultivate slowly. Carnivorous soul beasts will not be able to obtain food due to the decrease in herbivorous soul beasts. As food decreases, in order to cultivate, or perhaps just to fill their stomachs, the carnivorous soul beasts living in the Notting Forest have to attack the human soul masters who enter it."
"For most soul beasts, survival is their first instinct."
"In this Star Dou Great Forest, there are many kinds of soul beasts and their numbers are huge. There is no need for them to attack humans for food."
"Didn't we hear about this in the town outside? Soul masters would waste a lot of time hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. In addition to searching for the soul beasts' traces, after finding the corresponding soul beasts, the rest of the time would be spent on hunting them down."
"Except for a few very aggressive soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest, most soul beasts will choose to flee into the dense jungle as soon as they find they cannot defeat a soul master, rather than fighting to the death with the soul master."
At this time, Tang San had already walked into the emerald fern bush and found an emerald fern about half a meter tall.
The age of the emerald fern is calculated based on the nodes of the rhizome, with one node growing every ten years. This emerald fern has one hundred and three nodes on its rhizome, which means it is already a thousand-year-old fern.
Plant soul beasts are more difficult to cultivate than animal soul beasts, and they are less aggressive.
Even though the Emerald Fern has cultivated for a thousand years, it still has difficulty moving. In fact, since the Emerald Fern is a plant soul beast with no offensive capabilities, it is extremely easy to hunt it.
Tang San took out a jade ruler and cut off the stem of the thousand-year-old emerald fern. Then a lavender spirit ring emerged.
Tang San released the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, circulated his soul power, pulled the thousand-year-old soul ring over, put it into it, and instantly began the refining process.
Romantina was also possessed by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm at this moment, using mental detection and mental sharing to assist Tang San in completing the secondary refining of the soul ring.
When Bu Yi saw that Tang San's second soul ring had patterns similar to emerald ferns but with blue-silver patterns, he immediately realized that the red dancing winter rabbit patterns on Zhou Qing's second soul ring was not because that soul ring was special, but because Romantina's soul skills had some special effect on it.
"What's going on?" Bu Yi glanced at Zhou Qing.
"In fact, we used Romantina's brain martial soul to develop other uses for her first soul skill, and used this to study the connection between martial souls and soul rings. The experiment yielded a result, which is that soul rings can be refined a second time."
After spending these days together, Zhou Qing got to know Bu Yi's character better, so he spoke half-truthfully.
"When a soul ring is refined for the second time, the pattern of a soul beast will appear?" Bu Yi suddenly realized, "No wonder you didn't release your martial souls and soul rings during the friendly competition. You were worried about attracting attention."
Zhou Qing was also helpless.
If it was just the martial spirit that was displayed, it would be fine, but once he entered the combat state, the soul power would circulate faster, and the soul ring would be revealed, which would be extremely troublesome. However, Zhou Qing did not have this risk now, because when he was fighting against the pressure brought by Jian Douluo in Luoxing City, he awakened his mind aura, allowing the soul ring to exist in his body.
In fact, the soul ring is still on his martial soul, but because his martial soul: the blood circulation system, is attached to his real blood circulation system, the soul ring does not need to be exposed outside the body.
This is something that Tang San and Xiao Wu cannot do.
Therefore, in the future, we still have to rely on Romantina to publish relevant theoretical conjectures so that people in the world can have a relevant concept.
"So, what is the function of this soul ring after the second refinement?" Bu Yi asked.
"First of all, we need to make the spirit ring more cool."
Zhou Qing raised his first index finger.
Bu Yi: “…”
"Secondly, it will be faster to release soul skills." Zhou Qing continued, "In addition, when performing soul skills of the same power, less soul power will be consumed, and the soul ring itself will grow together with the martial soul and the soul master's cultivation."
"That sounds really good... Wait, does this mean that the age of the spirit ring can also increase as the spirit master's cultivation level improves?" Bu Yi was stunned at first, and finally focused on the word "growth". He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Can it evolve to the ten thousand year level?"
"Theoretically, there is no upper limit to evolution. Even a hundred thousand years is possible."
Zhou Qing said this, looking at Romantina who was possessed by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and said meaningfully, "Now, Sister Buyi should understand who is the most senior person in our team, right?"
"At present, only with the help of her brain martial spirit can the soul master accomplish this step."
Bu Yi's eyes widened.
But Zhou Qing raised the corner of his mouth, like a demon from hell, and tempted: "Sister Buyi, do you want a spirit ring with patterns?"
Bu Yi swallowed and opened his mouth. For a moment, he felt at a loss in front of this child who was only six years old but almost as tall as himself.
Then, she reacted and knocked Zhou Qing on the head with her head, narrowed her eyes, and taught him a lesson: "How dare you bribe the teacher? You really have become more capable!"
"Bribery? How could that be?" Zhou Qing immediately shook his head, "I just hope that Sister Buyi can break through to a realm that no previous owner of the Elemental Fox Martial Spirit could reach in the future."
"Completing the secondary refining of the soul ring will allow me to further deepen my connection with my martial soul?" What Bu Yi desires most at the moment is to be able to increase his cultivation speed.
"I'm not sure, but it's always a good idea to give it a try. I've also mentioned before the benefits of refining your soul ring for the second time. Although it can't directly improve your strength, the reduction in soul power consumed when using soul skills is enough to make you last longer than an ordinary soul master!"
Zhou Qing continued to seduce Bu Yi, hoping that she would really join in.
Bu Yi gave Zhou Qing a strange look before teasing, "Persistent? Kids these days are really precocious!"
Zhou Qing: “…”
