Lu Yuan's Craftsmanship

"Heh, with Uncle Ju's status, if he really wanted to take on apprentices, people would be flocking to him to wear down the threshold. Are you worried about not being able to find apprentices?"

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "However, it would be difficult to find a disciple like Zhu Qing who possesses Super Spirit and is also exceptionally talented. Geniuses like Zhu Qing are extremely rare on the entire continent."

Lu Yuan's tone carried Sisi of pride. The current Zhu Zhuqing was not the Zhu Zhuqing in the original work. She possessed the Super Spirit Nine Lives Heavenly Cat, and her Soul Ring were a combination of yellow, yellow, purple, and black. She had broken through to the Soul Ancestor level at the age of twelve. With all these things combined, it would be impossible for anyone but an unparalleled genius to achieve this.

It would be extremely difficult for Chrysanthemum Douluo to find a disciple with the same talent as Zhu Zhuqing.

Among the people Lu Yuan knows now, only Qian Renxue's talent surpasses Zhu Zhuqing's. Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing's talents are only slightly different, and neither is much better than the other.

The fourth ring of the Wan Nian project laid a solid foundation for Zhu Zhuqing, completely eliminating the minor differences between her and Hu Liena.

The two are now truly almost equal.

As for the others, there's Ning Rongrong, whose Martial Soul Evolution into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; Oscar, Innate Full Soul Power Martial Soul is the Sausage; and Dugu Yan, whose Martial Soul evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to the Jade Phosphorous Dragon after consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Their talents are all inferior to Zhu Zhuqing's.

If Zhu Zhuqing grows up smoothly, she definitely has the potential to become First-Level Deity, something that Ning Rongrong and Oscar are not as good at.

If we had to find someone on the same level as Zhu Zhuqing, it would only be Tang San. Although he lacked some opportunities, his Twin Martial Souls were still formidable, and he still had the potential to become a First-Level Deity.

Apart from that, among the younger generation, there are probably few who can compare to Zhu Zhuqing.

"No, there might be another one!" Thinking of the Evil Soul Master Soul Demon Yu that he had seen in the Ruins of Life, this person's talent was even greater than that of the original Hu Liena. He had even injured him back then. Although he was eventually wiped out by the Double Pupils, Chaos Light, that was the only time Lu Yuan was injured by someone his own age.

Moreover, Evil Soul Master are extremely strange creatures. No one knows if they have any methods to quickly increase their Soul Power. Furthermore, Lu Yuan has a premonition that he and Evil Soul Master will probably encounter each other again sooner or later.

Lu Yuan's Double Pupils flickered slightly. If he had the chance in the future, he would do his best to eradicate Evil Soul Master. Even if darkness could not be completely eliminated, he would make it cower in the shadows and not dare to appear in the world of light.

"Yes, you're right. It's probably difficult to find a genius like Zhu Zhuqing." Just as Lu Yuan was thinking, Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice rang out, his tone tinged with regret.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, said nothing more, gently embraced Hu Liena, and observed Zhu Zhuqing's condition.

Absorbing Soul Ring always takes time, let alone absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and it had already gotten dark.

A campfire was lit in the forest, and Lu Yuan and the others were roasting food.

As for whether lighting a campfire in the forest would attract Soul Beast, Lu Yuan said that with Long Xiaoyao and Chrysanthemum Douluo around, he would dare to light a fire even in top-tier forests like the Star Dou Great Forest or the Evil Demon Forest, let alone the Sunset Forest, a high-level forest that seems to have no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

So there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Junior brother, is the rabbit ready yet?" Looking at the Lu Yuan's hand, dripping with oil, and smelling its tempting aroma, Hu Liena couldn't help but swallow and ask.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Lu Yuan flipped the rabbit over again and asked without turning his head.

"Yes, I was in such a hurry to see you during the day that I didn't eat much, and I'm starving!" Hu Liena said, rubbing her belly with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

"Really? Let me see!" Lu Yuan was roasting a rabbit in his left hand, while his right hand involuntarily reached out towards Hu Liena.

"Oh, you're really starving!" Lu Yuan said with a light laugh, patting Hu Liena's soft little belly.

"Junior brother!" Hu Liena grabbed Lu Yuan's hand, glanced at Long Xiaoyao and Chrysanthemum Douluo not far away, her face flushed slightly, and her tone was coquettish.

This naughty junior brother dares to do bad things to me in public.

"Hehe!" Seeing Hu Liena's coquettish expression, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, pinched Hu Liena's red cheek, and then withdrew his hand.

"Hmm, it's almost ready!" Looking at the glistening, fragrant roasted rabbit in front of him, Lu Yuan nodded. It was almost ready to eat now.

Lu Yuan tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Hu Liena, saying, "Here, senior sister, be careful it's hot!"

Hu Liena took the rabbit leg from Lu Yuan and took a deep breath. "It smells so good!"

Lu Yuan's cooking skills were already excellent, but now that Lu Yuan mental strength is stronger and he has learned alchemy, his control over the heat can be described as superb. When Lu Yuan roasts a rabbit, he does it with the same meticulous care as alchemy, controlling every bit of heat just right. So how could the roasted rabbit not be delicious?

Hu Liena parted her red lips slightly, gently bit off a piece of rabbit meat with her pearly teeth, chewed it lightly, and showed an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"It's delicious, junior brother. Your cooking skills are getting better and better." Hu Liena swallowed the rabbit meat in her mouth, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Alright, stop praising me. Aren't you starving? Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Hu Liena nodded and launched an attack on the rabbit leg in her hand.

Lu Yuan also tore off the other hind leg. For rabbits, their hind legs are more developed, the meat is firmer, chewier, and more tender, making them the best-tasting.

As Lu Yuan gently chewed the rabbit meat, his gaze swept over Zhu Zhuqing beside him. Zhu Zhuqing's breathing was very steady, and the absorption of the Soul Ring was going exceptionally smoothly.

Judging from the intense energy fluctuations emanating from it, it would probably take at least several hours to fully absorb it.

The energy of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is still very strong. Unlike Lu Yuan, who has the super-strong refining power of the Qingqi Sutra, Pure Qi Divine Power, and Vast Sea Power, Zhu Zhuqing can absorb it very quickly. It will take Zhu Zhuqing quite a while to fully digest such a strong energy.

Judging from the energy fluctuations on the Darknight Demon Tiger's Soul Ring and Zhu Zhuqing's aura, Lu Yuan estimated that Zhu Zhuqing's level would reach around level 45 after absorbing the Soul Ring this time.

Zhu Zhuqing was originally level 38. She broke through to level 40 after consuming the Narcissus Jade Bone, but that was without Soul Ring and was based on accumulated Soul Power. If she had Soul Ring, her level should have reached around level 43.

Ahem, I had some things to do during the day, so I'd like to ask for leave here!

So there might not be any updates this afternoon. I'm letting you all know!

If it's this afternoon, then you don't need to wait!

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!
