Soul Guiding Incense

Yun Qi felt somewhat embarrassed as well. After all, absorbing this Spirit Ring had been a reckless gamble.

After Su Ye gave Yun Qi a stern lecture, he saw that Yun Qi's attitude in admitting his mistake was decent. Besides, the deed was done, and Yun Qi had gained tremendous benefits from it!

"Xiao Xi, I won't lecture you anymore. Quickly, show me your First Spirit Skill."

Yun Qi poured Soul Power from his right hand into his Martial Soul, and the Moon Shadow Sword appeared in his hand. Su Ye Looked At the Moon Shadow Sword, which seemed several degrees more mysterious and gloomy than before. A bright yellow Spirit Ring emerged around Yun Qi's body. Holding his sword in One Hand, Yun Qi swung it directly at the bamboo forest in the distance and shouted in a low voice:

"First Spirit Skill, Shadow Sword Art!"

Gray sword energy identical to that of the Ghost Shadow Sword Bamboo appeared out of thin air from the Moon Shadow Sword. It shot toward the bamboo forest at an astonishing speed with a piercing whistle. Halfway there, it suddenly vanished, only to emerge from within the bamboo forest and slash through three ten-year Ghost Shadow Sword Bamboos. Even when it struck a hundred-year Sword Bamboo, it left a gash carved by sword energy in its body!

"Uncle, my First Spirit Skill can not only release this strange sword energy, but it also increases the sword's toughness and sharpness by thirty percent, as well as the speed at which I release sword energy!"

As Su Ye listened to Yun Qi describe his First Spirit Skill, he was practically numb. Why did it feel like Yun Qi's First Spirit Skill was many times better than Su Ye's Third Spirit Skill?!

"Xiao Xi did well. This Spirit Skill has a long attack range, high damage, and can increase your own speed. As an assault-type Spirit Master, there probably isn't a Spirit Skill more suitable for you than this. Once we've rested up, we'll head out!"

Yun Qi was quite satisfied as well. Seeing Su Ye sit down again to recover his Soul Power, Yun Qi stood guard nearby. After all, Yun Qi had not participated in the Spirit Hunting process at all; he had merely delivered the final blow!

Taking advantage of the moment, Yun Qi directly claimed the reward for this mission and issued himself another mission!

(Mission: Place the Soul Guiding Incense on Tang San or Yu Xiaogang!)

(Reward: Affinity Halo.)

Accept: Yes/No.)

"Yes."

Yun Qi immediately checked the effect of the halo. The Affinity Halo could greatly increase the favorability that people and Spirit Beasts felt toward him. He would treat others with humility, like a refreshing breeze! It also had a certain effect of dispelling hostility, but if the other party's hostility toward him was overwhelming, it would be completely ineffective!

Yun Qi's eyes immediately lit up. This was an essential artifact for travel, picking up girls, and assassination! Combined with Yun Qi's already exceptionally handsome face and his elusive First Spirit Skill, this was simply too perfect!

"Ah, Tang San. I'm looking forward to meeting you."

Yun Qi revealed a pleasant smile.

Before long, Su Ye had recovered more than half of his Soul Power. He Stood Up and said to Yun Qi:

"Let's go. Since we've obtained suitable Spirit Rings and it's not dark yet, we won't spend the night in the forest. Forests at night are impossible to guard against! They're extremely dangerous!"

"Alright, Uncle."

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were still miserably searching for suitable Spirit Beasts, while Yun Qi and Su Ye were heading back. However, the two groups were taking the same route!

Just as Yun Qi was intently watching their surroundings, Su Ye suddenly stopped ahead of him. He turned around and lowered his voice.

"Shh! There's fighting ahead!"

Yun Qi Nodded to show that he understood.

"Then, Uncle, should we go around?"

"Let's take a look first. If they're stronger than us, we'll turn around and leave. If not, we'll go straight over. If we take a detour, we won't make it out before dark."

Seeing Yun Qi remain silent, Su Ye thought he was afraid.

"It's alright. In a captive Spirit Beast forest like this, no high-level Spirit Masters will appear. It would already be impressive if there were even one. Your Uncle here is a Soul Elder!"

Yun Qi sucked in a breath of Cold Sweat and thought,

"A mighty Soul Elder—terrifying indeed!"

Of course, Yun Qi was joking. He was not afraid. With a Soul Elder by his side, if not enough to swagger around freely, it was still enough to protect themselves! What if the people ahead were Tang San and Yu Xiaogang? At that thought, Yun Qi immediately said:

"Uncle, then let's hurry! It'll be dark soon!"

Su Ye Nodded, pushed aside the Weeds in front of him, and passed through the dense forest. Yun Qi then saw Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, who had just killed a Spirit Beast that had been attacking them.

Su Ye Looked At Yu Xiaogang and Tang San and stepped forward to greet them. Tang San, however, kept his hand on the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges Yu Xiaogang had given him. Seeing this, a cold glint flashed through Yun Qi's eyes!

Yun Qi knew what Tang San wanted to do and secretly remained on guard. The Moon Shadow Sword in his hand was constantly filled with Soul Power. As soon as Tang San Made a Move, Yun Qi would swiftly release his First Spirit Skill, cut him in half at the waist, and then run away. He would take Xiao Wu and defect to Spirit Hall. Even if Tang Hao learned of it afterward, he was hiding from Spirit Hall anyway. Yun Qi believed Spirit Hall would not give up an Innate Full Soul Power talent and a Genius Spirit Master who progressed so quickly.

Yu Xiaogang also noticed the tense atmosphere and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Tang San's hand. After all, killing an enrolled student without reason would result in being wanted and expelled. Tang San also noticed the look in his Teacher's Eyes. After all, it had not yet reached the point of a life-or-death feud, and Yun Qi was Old Jack's grandson. He simply did not know why he hated this person so much when he had not felt that way before.

Yun Qi did not care about the exchange of looks between them and merely urged Su Ye to leave quickly.

"Master, we've already obtained our First Spirit Rings. You should be careful too!"

As Yun Qi brushed past Tang San, he calmly said in his heart:

"Distribute the reward onto Yu Xiaogang and Tang San."

"Distribution of the Soul Guiding Incense complete."

In an Instant, two colorless and odorless streams of gas attached themselves to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Yun Qi and Su Ye had a relatively smooth return journey. No highly aggressive Spirit Beasts attacked them, and they soon reached the outer edge of the forest. The Steel Barricade, dozens of meters tall, was already right before their eyes!

Just as Yun Qi passed through the Steel Barricade and presented his pass to the guards, waves of Spirit Beast roars erupted from within the forest! The howls and miserable cries of all kinds of Spirit Beasts echoed through the sky. Even Yun Qi, Five Kilometers away, could hear them. Yun Qi was delighted inside. Just as I thought, the medicine had taken effect!

However, the encounter just now also made Yun Qi understand something. Before he had backing and strength, he should not recklessly provoke people everywhere. Tang San could use hidden weapons at this stage. If Yun Qi took a few hits, even if he did not die, he would lose a layer of skin! As he thought about it, a trace of Cold Sweat appeared on Yun Qi's forehead. How worthless would it have been to trade lives just now? I don't have the ability to revive by watching ads!

Yun Qi realized that obtaining the Golden Finger recently had made him a little overconfident. That provocation had been rather foolish. Once he returned, he needed to reflect more and be more cautious.

At that moment, the mission reward had also arrived. Yun Qi directly claimed and used it. In an instant, he felt some mysterious aura enter his body before vanishing without a trace.

Su Ye, however, seemed to sense something. He turned to Look At Yun Qi's face.

"Why does this kid seem to have become even more handsome? He's so cute."

Seeing Su Ye suddenly turn back with a smiling face, Yun Qi knew the Affinity Halo had taken effect. He just did not know how much influence it would have on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Speaking of Tang San, Yun Qi turned to look toward the direction where the Spirit Beasts were roaring. The Soul Guiding Incense would forcibly induce mating urges in Spirit Beasts within Five Kilometers.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I've made a contribution to the Soul Hunting Forest too. In the near future, a large number of Spirit Beasts will become pregnant. How wonderful!"

"I just wonder whether Tang San and Yu Xiaogang can withstand the assault of so many Spirit Beasts."
