Chapter 8 The First Soul Ring
Early the next morning, the two prepared the supplies needed for soul hunting, rented a carriage, and headed to the soul hunting forest.
One day later, the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest in Coconut Grove City.
Coconut Grove City Soul Hunting Forest is not far from Coconut Grove City, about four hundred miles away. It took the two of them a day and a night to reach the Soul Hunting Forest.
"Xiao Jiang, follow me closely when we enter the Soul Hunting Forest. You must also be prepared to stay in the Soul Hunting Forest for a long time. After all, it is still difficult to find a suitable soul ring." Director Li said to Jiang Li instructed.
Searching for a soul ring is a long-term job for a soul master. The first two soul rings are okay and easy to find due to their low age. However, the situation is different for senior soul masters. In order to find a suitable soul ring, a high-level soul master must at least one or two years in advance. I look for news every month, or even longer.
"Yes, I understand." Jiang Li said softly.
Jiang Li naturally knew the time to hunt for the soul ring, so he didn't feel too disturbed. If he was lucky, he might be able to find it in one day, but if he was not lucky, he might have to stay for a few days.
After Director Li and Jiang Li explained the precautions, they took out a warrant and handed it to the guard at the gate. After the guard checked that everything was correct, they were allowed to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.
Since the two of them had already determined the soul beast they needed, they entered the forest and headed towards the area where the plant-type century-old soul beast was.
Plant-type soul beasts like water, so the two of them can just go directly to where there is a water source.
"It's a pity that this Sky Ivy is more than five hundred years old. The last time I came here, it was only four hundred years old. I don't know what opportunities it got to improve so much in a short period of time. Otherwise, it would be really suitable. Your first soul ring.”
The two stopped in an area dozens of meters away from the Celestial Vine. Director Li looked at the bamboo in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.
They saw a huge green vine in front of them. The vine spread and was covered with dense leaves. Its vines are as thick as a giant dragon, covered with fine lines, and each leaf is engraved with wonderful and complex patterns, exuding a faint green air and a huge breath of life.
It turned out to be the Sky Ivy that Jiang Li needed.
Under normal circumstances, every meter of azure vine grows for one hundred years of cultivation. After reaching a thousand years, the color will be darker and the length will return to one meter. At that time, every meter of azure vine will grow for one thousand years of cultivation. for.
It is also very simple to determine the age of the azure vine. You can tell by looking at its length and the pattern on its roots. The century-old pattern is yellow. The length of the azure vine in front of you is more than five meters long, and the pattern on its roots is five and a half meters. , the sixth one is also close to perfection, which means that the azure vine in front of you is at least 5,780 years old, or even close to 600 years old.
As for why it was only 400 years old when Director Li came here and now it is close to 600 years, then you have to ask about the bones next to Celestial Vine. Jiang Li thinks it is because the passing soul beast touched Celestial Vine, a plant-type person. The instinct of the soul beast was absorbed as nutrients.
But Jiang Li had no intention of explaining to Director Li.
He deceived and said: "No, Director Li, just this one will be fine. Do you remember what I told you? The absorption years of soul rings below ten-thousand-year soul rings are related to the physical strength of the soul master. Different soul masters have different abilities to absorb souls." The ages of the rings are different, the physical fitness is also different, and the fitness of the soul ring is also different. The four-hundred-year soul ring is the limit for others, not mine.”
Director Li nodded and said, "That's true, but just in case, let me test your physical strength." As he said that, he touched Jiang Li's whole body with his hands.
After touching it, Director Li nodded. It was indeed as Jiang Li said. Jiang Li's physical fitness was very strong, comparable to his physical strength when he was a great soul master.
"Your physical fitness is as strong as when I was a great soul master, even stronger than me at that time." Director Li commented, and then he said with a serious face: "Are you really sure you want to absorb this soul ring? You must know that you have absorbed it. Soul rings cannot be interrupted, unless it is a titled Douluo.”
"Don't worry, I'm confident." Jiang Li patted his chest and assured.
Jiang Li said this with confidence. He has never slacked off in Tai Chi in the past two years. After combining Tai Chi with soul power, his physical fitness has now reached the level of a great soul master. Absorbing an extremely suitable Sky Ivy is still Qualified enough. "Okay, then you wait and wait until I call you. I'll go and come back." After hearing Jiang Li's promise, Director Li asked Jiang Li to wait where he was while he went to torture Tian Qingteng.
As Director Li approached Tian Qingteng, the originally peaceful Tian Qingteng suddenly became riotous.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
When Director Li was about seven or eight meters away from Tianqingteng, Tianqingteng twitched rapidly, and the vine made a sonic boom when it came into contact with the air.
However, this is just a child's play for Director Li. If he is a soul master, he may not be able to do anything about it, but Director Li is a soul master. Director Li summoned the martial soul just a few times to defeat Tian Qingteng.
"Xiao Jiang, come here quickly, or it will die." Director Li immediately called Jiang Li after beating Tian Qingteng to death.
Jiang Li came over immediately after hearing Director Li's greeting.
It has to be said that Director Li was quite measured in his actions. It was quite difficult to seriously injure a plant-based soul beast with strong vitality like Celestial Vine without dying, but Director Li did it.
"It seems we can't underestimate the world's heroes." Jiang Li sighed inwardly.
Because he had a little understanding of the original work, Jiang Li didn't feel how powerful Douluo Continent was, but the more he understood the situation on the continent, the more frightened Jiang Li became, because this is a real world of cultivation, and people might die. , after seeing this scene, he felt that the things in the original work were outrageous. Now that he thought about it, it might have been something dropped by the God Realm.
But it's not his business now. It's not enough for him to squeeze people's teeth now. He has to absorb the soul ring now.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After finding the root of the Celestial Vine, Jiang Li took out an iron sword from his backpack and killed the Celestial Vine. He bought it before departure and it cost him a Gintama Coin.
Faint yellow light spots gathered above the azure vine with only its roots remaining, turning into a yellow halo. Jiang Li sat down next to the yellow halo.
Director Li sighed, glanced at the soul ring, and then glanced at Jiang Li with a slightly worried look, reminding: "But then again, do you really want to absorb this five-hundred-year-old Celestial Vine? ? You know, from ancient times to the present, no one has been in the first spirit ring for more than five hundred years, and at most it is just over four hundred years."
"I trust my own judgment. Then Director Li, I'll leave it to you to protect the law."
Jiang Li naturally couldn't tell the secrets of Tai Chi, nor the theory of meridians. This was his confidence and his self-confidence. The theory could be learned by others, but not this one. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and concentrated on practicing Soul Transformation. ring.
With the pull of the soul power, the soul ring slowly adsorbed above Jiang Li.
Since his own martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, which is a plant-type martial soul, and the Azure Vine is also a plant-type soul beast with very strong vitality and gentle soul power, so he absorbed the Azure Vine very smoothly, at most That is to say, the soul power in the body is saturated when the absorption is completed.
In other words, this century-old ivy has reached the limit of what his body can bear.
Of course, it is limited to plant attribute soul beasts.
If, as Yu Xiaoan's Ten Core Competencies wrote, plant-based martial souls absorb animal-based soul rings, let his Blue Silver Grass martial soul absorb soul rings that have nothing to do with plants or even have mutually exclusive attributes, such as poisonous snakes. Spiders and the like are basically useless.
