Chapter 10 Level 10
"What are you looking for?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi's back and asked in confusion.
Shi Yi, who came back to his senses, stopped what he was doing and said, "Do you have any books about soul guides here?"
"Why are you suddenly interested in soul guides?"
"Shouldn't I be interested in artifacts that can be controlled by soul power?" Shi Yi asked in return.
Yu Xiaogang's slightly stiff expression couldn't help but twitch, "There's not one here, but if you're interested, I can talk to you about the soul guide."
Shi Yi approached Yu Xiaogang with a look of joy on his face and said, "What do you want to talk about?"
Yu Xiaogang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he didn't know when he had a belt in his hand.
The belt is completely black with dark stripes on it, which cannot be distinguished without looking carefully. The entire belt is evenly inlaid with twenty-four pieces of milky white jade. Each piece of jade is only the size of an adult's thumbnail and is round in shape. The color is warm and moist, and it looks like a rare jade at first glance.
"This..." Shi Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Xiaogang taking out the storage belt. It's okay to have physical objects without books.
"This belt was obtained by me and several friends during an expedition. It was assigned to me as a reward. To me, it doesn't have much use. You should be able to use it in the future. Take it and study it." Yu Xiaogang smiled.
When Shi Yi was about to take it, Yu Xiaogang retracted his hand slightly and said with a smile: "So why are you suddenly interested in the soul guide."
Shi Yi looked helpless and said: "Why else? Although I have solved my talent problem, the skills for absorbing soul rings are all small ant releases. When the body is weak, I need to find something that can protect myself." Things, such as creating your own soul skills or researching combat-type soul tools.”
Yu Xiaogang had a look of surprise on his face, handed the storage belt in his hand to Shi Yi, nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed a good idea, but it is probably difficult for you to study soul guides. The soul guides handed down from ancient times There are very few weapons, and most of them have no offensive effect.”
"That means there are also other types of soul tools passed down through the generations? Have you read any books about soul tools?" Shi Yi asked Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said: "As far as I know, there are not only offensive types, but also defensive types, and even many functional types. But I haven't read any books about soul guides. These artifacts It seems to appear suddenly, as if there is no inheritance.”
Shi Yi heard this and thought, these soul tools should be the things left by the ships from the Sun and Moon Continent when they came to the Douluo Continent.
"I haven't even seen Yu Xiaogang. It seems that Wuhun Palace will no longer exist. But still, if Wuhun Palace has a method for making soul guidance weapons, it won't destroy the hidden weapons of Tang Sect." Shi Yi I secretly thought in my heart.
Shi Yi carefully observed the storage belt in his hand. There were some complex patterns on each piece of jade the size of a thumbnail. Shi Yi understood that this was the core array of the soul guide.
"The core array of a simple storage soul guidance device is so exquisite. It is hard to imagine how developed the soul guidance device will be after ten thousand years."
Shi Yi looked at the lines on the jade with a trace of obsession in his eyes.
"It seems that there is an opportunity to learn materials and blacksmith knowledge. If you want to make a soul guide, it seems that you can only cross the river by feeling the stones."
"I suggest you look at the research on self-created soul skills. You are not the only one to realize the potential of soul guidance devices, but no one from the major forces has successfully produced a soul guidance device so far. This is also The reason why the price of soul guidance devices remains high." Yu Xiaogang said seriously to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi nodded, the production of soul guides was also linked to strength, and now it was enough to use Tang San's hidden weapons for self-protection.
Afterwards, Shi Yi carefully observed the core array engraved on the jade on the belt in his hand. Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang smiled and shook his head, and ignored Shi Yi, because he understood that a scholar who studies Just trust your own judgment to a large extent.
"This core array is similar to the meridians in the human body. It has the function of circulating soul power. If a soul guidance device is dismantled, the most important components are naturally the material and core array, material knowledge and forging. There is a place to learn the craftsmanship. I have no engraving knife and no knowledge about this core magic circle. It would take a lot of mental energy to engrave such a delicate magic circle. Where should I start?"
Shi Yi was thinking, the words "core array" kept wandering in his mind.
"Magic circle, magic circle, magic circle... magic circle... magic circle."
"Yes, since the core magic circle engraved on the soul guide is extremely small, why don't I expand the magic circle to the point where I can practice it at will?"
Before Shi Yi was happy for a while, another problem arose. If you briefly explain the operating logic of the soul guide, you will find that a new problem has arisen, that is, Shi Yi cannot afford a large one. Precious metals.
The soul guide is based on the characteristics of the material. The core magic circle is carved on the special material, and then operated through the soul power of the soul master.
In other words, if he wants to verify whether the core magic circle he carved has the corresponding effect, Shi Yi needs a piece of special material the size of a fist to continuously verify the effectiveness of the magic circle through carving.
"Let's talk about money-burning things later." Shi Yi said helplessly, poverty was his biggest problem now.
The next morning, Shi Yi felt a breakthrough in his soul power and opened his eyes happily.
"Are you awake? Pack up and get ready to go." Yu Xiaogang's voice reached Shi Yi's ears.
"Teacher, I have made a breakthrough." Shi Yi said excitedly to Yu Xiaogang. He was about to receive his first soul ring.
"Breakthrough?" Yu Xiaogang's face was slightly startled, and then turned to surprise. At the age of eight and ten, children who normally practice meditation must have at least four to five levels of innate soul power to reach this level at this time.
This level is considered good even in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. As long as you persist in practicing and rely on time accumulation, you can at least reach the soul emperor level. And according to Yu Xiaogang's evaluation of Shi Yi in the past two years, it is obvious that Shi Yi's cultivation speed is It is constantly increasing.
The effect of the Twelve Classics is more powerful than Yu Xiaogang imagined.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but have a sad look on his face. If this technique could be released earlier, he could become a strong man like his idol.
Seeing this, Shi Yi could only pack his things silently. He could only express sympathy for Yu Xiaogang's personal experience in his heart. Shi Yi couldn't promise anything now, but if there was a chance, Shi Yi would still be willing to help Yu Xiaogang. , although Yu Xiaogang, as a teacher, is regarded by many people as It is unqualified, but without Yu Xiaogang as a teacher, Shi Yi would have to worry about his own livelihood every day. How could he not have such a relaxed environment now and read books every day? Even Tang San still has a skill in blacksmithing. Making a living by crafting, but what can Shi Yi do?
Soon, Yu Xiaogang also regained his composure. When most of the teachers and students of Notting College were still sleeping, Yu Xiaogang, the dean of Notting College, and Shi Yi, Tang San and others had already walked out of the college gate. "Teacher, where are we going to find the spirit beast?" Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang.
"We are going to the Soul Hunting Forest four hundred miles northeast of Notting City. That is where the empire keeps soul beasts in captivity. We will definitely find one suitable for you." Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San.
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang's eyes fell on Shi Yi and asked: "Xiao Yi, have you planned your soul ring choice yourself?"
Shi Yi nodded casually and said: "What fun things can there be in the Soul Hunting Forest? Thousand Jun Ants."
The dean of Notting College was a little surprised when he looked at Shi Yi. He knew what level Shi Yi was when he entered school, and he didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions about his cultivation.
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly. Although there are not a few insect-like soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, most insect-like soul beasts do not have any outstanding abilities at this stage of a hundred years, but the Thousand Jun Ants are considered a exception.
The Thousand Jun Ant is a spirit beast with a very tenacious vitality. It has outstanding physical defense capabilities, strong ability to withstand attacks, and extremely powerful strength. They have strength that far exceeds their body proportions, but as soul beasts, they have no soul skills.
They can be found in any soul beast forest. Although their defense is good, it is limited after all, and they lack attack methods. Although their power is good, it is difficult to exert it. Their strong reproductive ability is the reason why they still exist, and they are also an excellent choice for many civilian attack-type soul masters. .
Accompanied by the dean, Yu Xiaogang didn't need to prepare white radish to load Luo San's cannon. The four of them hired a carriage and headed towards the Soul Hunting Forest. Along the way, Yu Xiaogang was helping Tang San. He was talking about the knowledge about soul masters and soul beasts, and even the dean listened with interest.
Although he was the dean of Notting College, his strength was just that of a newcomer to the Soul Sect. At this time, Shi Yi also saw the difference. Comparing people to others would lead to death, and goods would have to be thrown away. No matter how bad Yu Xiaogang was, he could at least follow Liu. Erlong was playing a high-end game against Flanders, and coupled with Yu Xiaogang's background and experience, his knowledge and insight were not comparable to those of ordinary soul masters.
If you look at Yu Xiaogang from a God's perspective, Yu Xiaogang is naturally a waste compared to those masters, but you have to admit that Yu Xiaogang's knowledge and insight are in this era when most soul masters are generally unable to reach the level of soul saint. He is beyond most people. At least he can complete the soul fusion skill with Soul Saint. He has seen what the battle of Soul Saint is like. He has followed Liu Erlong and Flanders to many places that low-level soul masters cannot reach at all. .
Of course, Ning Fengzhi's saying, "He who wins the master wins the world, just listen to it as a joke. Perhaps Ning Fengzhi means to imply that by winning over Yu Xiaogang, he can get Tang San's support. After all, Yu Xiaogang can gain support to a certain extent." represents blue lightning, and Tang San, as a disciple, possesses twin martial souls, and the Haotian Sect has no reason to let such a genius go. In addition, the relationship between the Shrek Seven Monsters, if these are connected in series, maybe Only then can he be worthy of such a world-renowned evaluation.
As Yu Xiaogang's story convinced Tang San more and more, Tang San's tone of voice became more and more affectionate.
The four-hundred-mile journey was not long, but it was not short either. It was not until noon the next day that they arrived at their destination, the Soul Hunting Forest.
After passing the market outside the forest, Yu Xiaogang and the dean soon took Shi Yi and Tang San into the forest.
"Now we have entered the forest. From now on, you must not leave my side and the dean's side."
"Yes, teacher." Tang San responded, and Shi Yi nodded slightly.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang also summoned Luo Sanpao. Under Tang San's surprised gaze, Luo Sanpao appeared at Yu Xiaogang's feet and nuzzled him slightly, then came to Shi Yi and nuzzled Shi Yi. Shi Yi and Luo Sanpao, who had been with Yu Xiaogang in the past two years, naturally got along a lot. He could clearly feel Shi Yi's goodwill towards him.
"Xiao San, don't you want to know what my martial spirit is? This is my martial spirit. You can call it Luo Sanpao, or you can just call him Sanpao." Yu Xiaogang introduced to Tang San.
Tang San said in surprise: "But, isn't the manifestation of the beast martial spirit possessed? Why does it..."
Shi Yi said slowly: "Teacher and my martial arts are both mutated. Teacher and I call this mutation living body mutation."
As he spoke, Shi Yi slowly raised his hand, and with a thought, the little ant also appeared in Shi Yi's palm.
At this time, the little ant has undergone earth-shaking changes. The most obvious thing is that its size has grown a lot from the original size of a normal ant. Under Shi Yi's deliberate guidance, its spiritual intelligence has also become higher.
"It turns out that senior brother is also..."
Tang San looked even more surprised when he looked at Shi Yi and Yu Xiaogang's martial spirits.
"Isn't it awesome?" Shi Yi chuckled.
"Okay, let's talk about the martial arts thing when we get back. Let's look for a suitable soul beast for you first. Sanpao, head ahead to clear the way." Yu Xiaogang interrupted the conversation between the two and said to Luo Sanpao. .
"Hey."
The obese Luo Sanpao walked forward, shaking his head. Although his body was a little fatter, his movements were quite agile. Smell something while walking.
"Sanpao's sense of smell is very sensitive and can detect the traces and strength of soul beasts." Yu Xiaogang simply explained to everyone.
Yu Xiaogang was the only one who used dragons as dogs. Shi Yi secretly smiled in his heart.
The four of them continued to explore, and every time they saw a soul beast, Yu Xiaogang would instill the corresponding knowledge about soul beasts into Tang San, but most of the soul beasts they saw along the way were ordinary ten-year-old soul beasts.
The forest was larger than Shi Yi had imagined, which made Shi Yi feel that there might be more people in the soul-hunting forest than century-old soul beasts.
After searching for a long time, although there were many soul beasts that met the requirements, they were not enough in most years. When everyone arrived in the afternoon, a touch of dusk appeared among the trees and jungles.
Looking up at the sky, Yu Xiaogang said to everyone: "It seems that we will stay in the Soul Hunting Forest tonight. Let's find a camping place first."
The camping place Yu Xiaogang chose was a depression with complicated terrain and surrounded by many towering trees. Tang San, who was about to sprinkle some insect repellent powder, made a discovery.
