Chapter 3: The Human-Faced Demonic Sheep
Not only the healing system, but other auxiliary system martial spirits also have limited room for growth and are difficult to reach high levels.
Ning Fengzhi, the world's number one auxiliary master, has only reached level 79 in spirit power.
Long Chen guessed that the Nine-Heart Begonia, like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, has limitations on the quality of martial spirits and is difficult to break through.
When Ye Lingling's grandmother died, her spirit power was level 72.
Ye Susu is 45 years old this year and has a spirit power of level 65.
Among the Nine-Heart Begonia spirit masters, her talent is relatively high.
Most Nine-Heart Begonia spirit masters cannot break through level 70 in their entire lives.
However, for Ye Susu, breaking through level 90 is still an unattainable existence.
Knowing that the Nine-Heart Begonia can reach a higher level of the Sacred Heart Begonia, Long Chen was a little surprised.
The Tulip Immortal herb may really change the fate of Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia family.
"Xiao Chen, don't think too much. Lingling will get used to it slowly. You are tired all day, go back to the room and rest early."
"Yes. Uncle, aunt, good night."
"Good night."
Looking at Long Chen's back as he left, Ye Susu sighed.
"Xiao Chen has awakened a martial soul with evil attributes, and it is also full of innate soul power. What should I do if he can't control himself?"
"Yes, if Xiao Chen is not full of innate soul power, I will persuade him to give up cultivation, so that he will not become a fallen person.
But he is a genius. We can't interfere with his life. We can only try our best to guide him, protect him, and let him walk on the right path."
"Brother Tianming, I believe in Xiao Chen.
After handling my mother's funeral, you should take him to hunt soul beasts, right?"
"Yes."
For Ye Tianmeng and his wife, Longchen and Ye Lingling are both their beloved children.
They are also looking forward to Longchen's growth.
The funeral of Ye Lingling's grandmother was soon handled.
In the past few days, under Long Chen's careful care, Ye Lingling's mood has eased a lot, but she is no longer as lively and cheerful as before.
On this day, Ye Tianming and his wife called Long Chen and Ye Lingling to the study.
On the table in front of them, there were two exquisite wooden boxes.
Ye Tianming smiled and said:
"Xiao Chen, Lingling, you are about to officially step into the ranks of soul masters. Mom and Dad have prepared a gift for you. Open it and take a look."
Long Chen and Ye Lingling looked at each other, and then carefully opened the box in front of them.
The contents of the two boxes looked similar. There were two of them, one was a dagger and the other was similar to a belt.
Long Chen asked:
"Uncle Ye, is this a storage device?"
"Well, a storage device is a must-have for soul masters. You two can try it."
Long Chen and Ye Lingling smiled at each other, and then tied the storage device around their waists to try it out.
"Very good, thank you uncle and aunt."
Long Chen's eyes fell on the dagger.
After picking it up, he carefully pulled it out. A dazzling cold light flashed, which made people palpitate.
"Xiao Chen, this dagger is extremely sharp and can cut metal. Be careful when using it to avoid cutting yourself."
"Okay, I know, thank you aunt."
Long Chen put the dagger into the storage device.
Ye Tianming continued:
"Xiao Chen, tomorrow I will take you to the Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts and help you get your first soul ring.
After I come back, I will send you to the academy."
"Okay."
Long Chen glanced at Ye Lingling beside him and said softly:
"Lingling, let's go hunt soul beasts together?"
"Yes."
Ye Lingling nodded gently without saying much.
Ye Tianming touched Ye Lingling's head.
"Okay, then I'll take you two with me."
The Sunset Forest is two hundred miles east of Tiandou City. It is not very large, and most of the soul beasts in the forest are below ten thousand years of cultivation.
Long Chen's first soul ring can be taken from a hundred-year soul beast.
Therefore, even if he brings two children who have just awakened their martial spirits, it is safe.
The next day, Ye Tianming brought Long Chen and Ye Lingling to the Sunset Forest.
A strong and fresh natural breath came to his face.
The towering ancient trees stood tall, and the trunks were covered with moss and vines, which looked ancient and vicissitudes.
Occasionally, birds and beasts could be heard in the forest, whether far or near, but they were full of wild vitality.
The sunlight fell from the gaps in the dense tree canopy, forming mottled light and shadow, adding a bit of tranquility and fantasy to this forest.
Under this quiet appearance, there are countless soul beasts hidden, they are either hiding in the grass or climbing on the treetops, quietly observing the outsiders entering the forest.
The three of them walked along a winding path, occasionally seeing some small soul beasts running through it quickly, leaving behind a series of panicked footprints.
This was the first time that Long Chen and Ye Lingling had come to the Soul Beast Forest, and they were very curious about everything around them.
Ye Tianming walked in front, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
His eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate all disguises and capture the traces of soul beasts.
"Xiao Chen, your first soul ring can be taken from a soul beast that has been cultivated for a hundred years, and any soul beast that can emit sound waves will do."
"Well, Uncle Ye, you decide."
The three of them continued to move forward.
The sky gradually darkened.
Ye Tianming planned to find an open place to rest for a night, and then continue to look for a suitable soul beast tomorrow.
Suddenly, a strange sound came.
The three of them stopped immediately.
Listening carefully, the sound was like a baby crying.
Ye Lingling was a little curious.
"Dad, why is there a child crying in this forest?"
Ye Tianming shook his head.
"That's not a child, it's a cunning soul beast. It deliberately uses the cry of a baby to attract its prey into its trap."
"Uncle Ye, do you know what soul beast made this sound?"
"It's a sheep-like soul beast called the 'human-faced demon sheep'. It's famous for its unique cry and cunning character. It's not common in the soul beast forest."
"Human-faced demon sheep?"
Long Chen became even more curious.
Ye Tianming went on to explain:
"The human-faced demon sheep has lines on its head that look like a human face, hence its name.
They are good at using the cry of a baby to confuse their prey, and when the prey gets close, they will suddenly attack."
As Ye Tianming spoke, his spiritual power detected the direction of the sound.
"The human-faced demon sheep is nearby, and its cultivation is more than a hundred years old.
It's just right to be your first soul ring. Let's go and have a look."
"Yes."
Long Chen and Ye Lingling followed behind Ye Tianming, and their steps became more cautious.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the bushes.
Ye Tianming was quick to release his golden eagle spirit and pinned the shadow to the ground in a lightning speed.
It was the human-faced demon sheep.
It had a sheep's body and a human-like face. It was dark black, with two sharp horns emitting a black aura, and four claws that were extremely sharp.
