Biji Chenxin, who loved to eat, nodded slightly, agreeing to Dongfang Yao's request.
"I will watch over things from the sidelines and will not intervene unless in a critical situation."
Then,he discussed the choice of soul beast with Dongfang Yao: "Tell me, what are your thoughts on your second soul ring?"
"My first soul skill, Star Stream Shadow Chase, can increase attack speed by 35% and movement speed by 30%, and the final charged sword aura slash is exceptionally powerful," Dongfang Yao analyzed clearly.
"This soul skill combines amplification and attack, greatly enhancing my attributes; it can be considered top-tier!"
"But nothing is perfect. Because it's a thousand-year soul skill, it consumes more soul power than a hundred-year skill, and it only lasts five minutes."
She changed the subject: "If the first two soul skills solely pursue attack or area damage, their power and sustained combat ability will be limited. If you want to pursue powerful attacks, it's best to wait until you absorb a ten-thousand-year soul skill. Therefore, my second soul skill should ideally provide stable buffs or unique tactical effects."
Chen Xin listened, increasingly surprised, thinking his disciple was extraordinary—knowing so much at such a young age?
"Yao'er, did you think of all this yourself?"
Dongfang Yao was startled, then, realizing what she meant, revealed a somewhat naive expression.
She scratched her head sheepishly: "Brother taught me this before; I just remembered it."
Hearing this, Chen Xin finally understood.
In the past few months, Dongfang Yao had indeed worked diligently in cultivation, making rapid progress.
However, in daily life, she always seemed a step behind, displaying a somewhat naive demeanor.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two couldn't help but sigh, "No one is perfect."
Ning Rongrong, that little devil, was clever, but also far too willful.
Although Dongfang Yao was obedient and diligent, she always seemed to have a slower reaction time than others.
Chen Xin couldn't help but think of that exceptionally talented silver-haired boy; judging from all his actions, he seemed to be the one who was flawless?
It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talent, and he died young.
At the same time,"Achoo!"
Dongfang Jing, far away in the Star Dou Great Forest, suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, wondering who was thinking of him.
A coat woven from emerald green feathers was gently draped over his shoulders.
Turning around, he saw Bi Ji smiling gently: "It's chilly, be careful to keep warm."
"Thank you, Master."
A faint fragrance, identical to that of Bi Ji, wafted from the coat, and when he gently inhaled it, it was truly refreshing.
Dongfang Jing continued to bury himself in the scroll in his hands.
Around him, many other scrolls were scattered.
These were all treasures brought by Bi Ji; as for their origin, he never inquired, only focusing on studying them.
Bi Ji sat quietly to the side, watching her diligent disciple, pondering what other books were hidden in the forest.
Most of these books came from human soul masters who perished after venturing into the forest; their storage soul tools often contained books.
Biji was very interested in this knowledge and collected them one by one.
As for the gold soul coins in the soul tools, especially the enormous wealth among the relics of those titled Douluo, she gave them all to Dongfang Jing, since they were useless to him anyway.
These coins eventually transformed into a continuous supply of ingredients, purchased by her younger sister, Dongfang Yao.
These days, Dongfang Jing has been in charge of providing lunch for the Emerald Swan clan and the guardian soul beasts.
Of course, Biji knew that Dongfang Jing wouldn't stay in the forest forever.
Therefore, to prevent the soul beasts from developing spoiled palates, she specifically limited him to cooking only at midday.
"Master," Dongfang Jing suddenly asked, "If a soul beast dies naturally, for example, when its cultivation cannot break through and its lifespan is about to end, will it still form a soul bone?"
Bi Ji shook her head and explained, "No, the formation of a soul bone requires extreme energy condensation, and soul beasts that die naturally lack this process. Usually, only powerful soul beasts experience violent energy fluctuations at the time of death. Driven by a strong will to survive or anger, the energy is highly compressed, which may form a soul bone."
Dongfang Jing seemed to understand, recalling the soul bone attached to his eye.
That Mirror Shadow Beast was originally well hidden, but he used some methods to lure it out, and it finally died from exhaustion under the siege of everyone.
The depth of its resentment before its death, especially towards Dongfang Jing, who was the first to discover it, did indeed meet the conditions for the formation of a soul bone.
Turning a page of the book, he asked again, "Master, have you ever personally witnessed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique? Is it really as powerful as described in the book?"
Hearing this,Bi Ji recalled many years ago when she had not yet taken human form, when she was still a small jade swan.
But she had indeed seen a human Soul Emperor who had entered the forest use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
However, the two were ultimately defeated in a single move by a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Therefore, she wasn't sure how strong the Spirit Fusion Technique truly was.
Was the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear too strong, or was the Spirit Fusion Technique too weak?
How could she explain this to her disciple?
A soft"gurgle"broke the silence of the forest.
Dongfang Jing turned to look,only to see Bi Ji turning her face away, continuing to explain the Spirit Fusion Technique with a serious expression, saying whatever came to mind.
But her long, elfin ears were subtly tinged with a blush.
Recently, Bi Ji had returned to the Lake of Life less frequently, thus enjoying meals prepared by Dongfang Jing every day.
And unlike other spirit beasts, she ate three meals a day! Occasionally, she could even have a midnight snack.
Although spirit beasts could cultivate into human form once their cultivation reached two hundred thousand years, Bi Ji didn't know how to cook.
She never killed any living creatures; other members of her race might eat small fish from the water, but she only ate grass and wild fruits.
Only after Dongfang Jing arrived did Biji truly understand the meaning of delicious food.
Dongfang Jing didn't point it out, and after his master finished explaining, he casually said, "Master, I'm hungry. Why don't we eat first?"
"Alright, a full stomach is essential for focused learning," Biji replied calmly, still tilting her head.
It was noon, time to prepare a large pot of food for the soul beasts.
To increase efficiency, Dongfang Jing even used his second soul skill to conjure several mirror images to cook simultaneously.
Seeing the chef start the fire, the soul beasts lined up eagerly, watching the bubbling pot.
Dongfang Jing, on the other hand, started a separate stove and specially cooked several vegetarian dishes.
He also noticed that Biji seemed to prefer vegetarian food over meat.
Looking at her disciple's thoughtful actions, Biji felt a warmth in her heart.
If her initial decision to take him as a disciple was perhaps partly driven by considerations for the soul beast race,now, Biji genuinely wanted to treat this young man better.
Gazing at Dongfang Jing's busy back, Biji suddenly thought:
'My disciple has been diligent and hardworking these past few days, and her soul power has already broken through to level thirty-nine. She will soon need her fourth soul ring.'
She sighed softly, knowing that this day would eventually come, and there would be a fifth and sixth time in the future.
Just then,a golden stream of light suddenly entered Biji's vision.
The light leaped several times before quietly landing behind Dongfang Jing.
