Chapter 170 The Forgotten Disciple
Half an hour later.
In Dean Dugu Bo's office.
Colleen and Zhao Wuji were talking.
"Thanks to the resources provided by the academy, Qinghe has already broken through to level ten soul power."
As he spoke, Colleen pulled Xue Qinghe out from behind him.
"Later, I have to take Qinghe to the Soul Hunting Forest near Wuhun City.
I'll help him hunt for his first soul ring there."
Hearing Colleen's words, Zhao Wuji pointed to himself.
"Bishop Colleen, I'll come too.
Dean Dugu Bo helped me with my identity issue and directly enrolled me in Wuhun Academy, but he didn't assign me any tasks.
I've been quite bored these past few days..."
Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, Qin Ming pushed open the door and entered.
When they saw Qin Ming, Colleen and the other two were slightly surprised.
"Your Highness, aren't you cultivating today?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming shrugged.
"I encountered some annoying things today, so I simply came out for a walk and to clear my head."
As he spoke, Qin Ming walked to Xue Qinghe's side.
After ruffling Xue Qinghe's hair, Qin Ming turned to Colleen.
"Bishop Colleen, Qinghe has reached level ten soul power and needs to acquire his first soul ring?
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm a bit irresponsible as his teacher..."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Xue Qinghe's initial tension eased.
Colleen smiled and replied,
"Your Highness, this is my opinion.
The golden age for soul masters is before 20.
Your time is precious, and you value cultivation highly.
Therefore, I think it's unnecessary to bother you with this.
Old Zhao and I can handle this ourselves."
Hearing what Colleen said, Qin Ming didn't say anything more on the topic.
Turning his head to glance at Dugu Bo's empty office area, Qin Ming asked with some confusion,
"Bishop Colleen, where are Elder Dugu Bo and Ah Xin?
Aren't they here today?"
Dugu Bo's office was located in a corner of the Martial Soul Academy.
The office was ornately decorated, and the surrounding environment was quiet and undisturbed most of the time.
Only Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin, and a few others familiar to Qin Ming, such as Bishop Colleen, Xue Qinghe, and Zhao Wuji, would occasionally come by.
Therefore, when Dugu Bo had nothing to do, he usually stayed here to cultivate.
Just as Qin Ming was wondering, Colleen explained.
"Your Highness, I only found out about this from the guards on duty outside just now.
This morning, someone from the Papal Palace came to inform Elder Dugu Bo to gather.
It seems they were going to research the Soul Core.
Although the gathering time was set for tonight, Elder Dugu Bo and the others felt they had nothing else to do, so they went early.
Ah Xin was also taken along by Elder Dugu Bo..."
Hearing Ke Lin's words, Qin Ming realized what was going on.
Qian Daoliu had said last night that he would lead the research on the second Soul Core.
As the discoverer of the Soul Core and the first Title Douluo to possess one, Dugu Bo would inevitably be summoned to participate in the research.
Although Dugu Xin's Soul Power was not high at present, he had previously consumed the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, a celestial herb that could assist in condensing the Soul Core.
It wasn't surprising that Dugu Bo took Dugu Xin along.
After thinking it through, Qin Ming stopped dwelling on the matter. He looked at Xue Qinghe again and asked,
"Bishop Kelin, what soul beast have you chosen for Qinghe's first soul ring?"
Hearing Qin Ming's question, Kelin took out a book from his sleeve.
After flipping through a few pages, Kelin pushed it in front of Qin Ming.
"Your Highness, Qinghe's swan martial soul is quite balanced, and there are many soul beasts suitable for him.
I've chosen the Silver-Winged Bird, the Light Crane, which might provide Qinghe with flight-type soul skills.
Or the Exquisite Flower Fairy, the Spirit Source White Deer, which might provide auxiliary healing soul skills.
As for the age of the soul ring, I think we should be more cautious!
After all, Qinghe has only been practicing body tempering techniques for a short time, and his body hasn't fully developed yet.
Even with a thousand-year-old whale glue as a foundation, a soul ring of about seven or eight hundred years should be sufficient."
As he spoke, Kelin pointed to the mark he had made on the book.
"Your Highness, I've seen those soul beasts I just mentioned in the encyclopedia.
These soul beasts can be found in the Soul Hunting Forest outside Spirit City.
Moreover, the guards near the Soul Hunting Forest should have maps marking the soul beast territories.
Finding these soul beasts shouldn't be difficult.
In my estimation,
even including travel time, a day or two should be enough for Qinghe to go soul hunting."
Hearing this from Ke Lin, Qin Ming nodded and took the book Ke Lin handed him to examine.
After a brief glance, Qin Ming nodded and returned the book.
"Bishop Ke Lin's judgment is still excellent.
These soul beasts are indeed quite suitable for Qinghe."
As he spoke, Qin Ming looked at Xue Qinghe beside him.
Although Qin Ming's acceptance of Xue Qinghe was merely a transaction between him and Emperor Xue Ye, he would still fulfill his obligations.
Furthermore, the Spirit Hall's plan to unify the continent would soon be implemented.
Xue Qinghe, the legal first heir of the Heaven Dou Empire, is likely to play a crucial role in this plan in the future.
Reaching out to ruffle Xue Qinghe's hair, Qin Ming thought of Dai Ying, the heir whom the Star Luo Emperor had abandoned in Spirit City.
With these two present, Qin Ming believed it would be much easier for the Spirit Hall to establish trust with the two great empires and successfully persuade them.
If they could successfully persuade the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires through negotiations,
then the Spirit Hall could completely unify the continent without unnecessary war.
Reducing casualties among Soul Masters and civilian troops was something Qin Ming was happy to see.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming spoke directly.
"Bishop Kelin, it's still early, let's set off for the Soul Hunt.
Let's try to finish the operation as soon as possible..."
After briefly discussing the details of the trip with Kelin and the others, Qin Ming and his companions wasted no more time and headed straight for the outskirts of Spirit City...
Two hours later.
The carriage carrying the four sped through the canyon that was the only way to enter and exit Spirit City.
At this moment, the Lion Douluo, hearing the sound, opened his eyes.
After a brief mental scan, Lion Douluo murmured in surprise,
"Qin Ming, this kid isn't cultivating?
That's quite a rare sight."
His gaze turned somewhat strange.
"That little brat in the carriage, only six or seven years old, seems to be Qin Ming's disciple, right?
I think his name is Xue Qinghe.
Logically speaking, he should be considered my grand-disciple..."
