Light Angel Remnant
But doing business would at least have to wait until he reached Soul Saint level. Right now, he was just a little Soul King nobody. If he rashly tried to take a bite out of such a huge cake, he would probably die horribly. Still, he could begin stockpiling metal supplies now. Although Douluo Continent did not have as many rare mineral deposits as the Sun Moon Continent.
But that was Douluo II, where Soul Tools had developed. In the current Douluo I era, where blacksmiths held little status and metal materials could at most be used for the armor of ordinary soldiers, metal was generally cheap because there was no market demand for it.
Having already understood every component of that first-rank Soul Tool, Ye Wen managed to make a first-rank spatial ring after a few attempts.
Once it was finished, Ye Wen took out a blank book and carefully recorded the principles and process behind making a first-rank spatial ring.
After all, the faintest ink was better than the best memory.
Ye Wen had several books like this, though most of them currently documented medicinal herbs. The rest contained his understanding of martial souls and all sorts of theories.
The days that followed remained peaceful.
During that time, Ye Wen remembered that Qianqian's martial soul had yet to awaken, so he helped her awaken it.
Perhaps because of the harsh living conditions she had endured for years, Qianqian's martial soul had undergone a malignant mutation.
A lone golden elemental wing extended from Qianqian's right shoulder.
Qianqian's Spirit Mark was located on her chest and also seemed incomplete. Its golden outer ring gave off a noble air, yet there was only a tiny wing within it.
Qianqian's Innate Soul Power was only rank one as well.
If this malignant change had not occurred, Ye Wen guessed that Qianqian's Innate Soul Power should have been at least rank five. After all, the feeling her Spirit Mark gave off suggested that it was definitely no ordinary martial soul. Moreover, Qianqian was so exceptionally beautiful that her natural talent could not have been low.
Though it was a pity that Qianqian's talent had been ruined, Ye Wen had never expected anything from the little girl in the first place. He only wanted her to grow up safely and live happily.
Qianqian was also so obedient and sensible that it was heartbreaking. Although she was somewhat disappointed by her own talent, she still cultivated diligently every day and listened as Ah Yin taught her the basics of Soul Master knowledge.
Qianqian also named her martial soul—the Wings of Light.
Cultivation and experiments proceeded in an orderly fashion. During this time, Ah Yin successfully broke through to the Soul King realm and condensed her first Black Soul Ring.
"Fifth Soul Skill—Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
As Ye Wen watched Ah Yin summon a knight's lance formed from Blue Silver Grass threaded with golden lines, an overwhelming sense of nobility washed over him. At that moment, Ah Yin seemed like an armored knight. Looking at that sharp knight's lance, Ye Wen had no doubt that if it truly pierced him, it would skewer him right through.
Having comprehended the Spiritual Attribute, Ye Wen could also sense the surging Spiritual Power pouring from Ah Yin.
The surrounding blue grass seemed to be cheering, while waves of Blue Silver Grass appeared to be worshipping Ah Yin.
This long-lost feeling left Ah Yin momentarily dazed. Then she spread her Blue Silver Domain, and the surrounding Blue Silver Grass began growing even more luxuriantly. An energy that nourished the body diffused through the air.
To Ye Wen's surprise, he discovered that even without training, his physical strength was slowly increasing by a tiny amount.
"Ah Yin, it seems your Blue Silver Domain has gained a new effect."
"Yes, Brother. Only now has the Blue Silver Domain taken on its true form. The original Blue Silver Domain could only strengthen Blue Silver Grass, but now it can gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Or rather, the life energy between heaven and earth. Within this Blue Silver Domain, every living thing will be enhanced.
"The elderly will become more long-lived, Soul Masters will cultivate more smoothly, and physical recovery will be faster," Ah Yin said joyfully.
Ye Wen was equally delighted. The Blue Silver Domain could now be considered a life domain. Though it could not compare to the Golden Ancient Tree by Sea God Lake in Douluo II, having it was already good enough. What more could he ask for?
Ye Wen also thought of Ye Buyi. Although Ye Buyi had been in a better mood recently and his body had become much healthier, he was ultimately only an ordinary one-ring Soul Master and was already nearly sixty years old. By the standards of this world, he had lived a long life.
But as Ye Wen's only true remaining family, Ye Wen hoped no matter what that Ye Buyi could live a little longer—or at least live a little more comfortably.
"Ah Yin, how long can you maintain this domain?"
"With my current soul power, probably around two hours. But if we can gather enough Blue Silver Grass with sufficient cultivation, we can form a pseudo-Blue Silver Domain. Its effects may be halved, but it can be used all day."
Ye Wen was overjoyed. He had originally only wanted to bring Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain along when scavenging corpses, but he had not expected such a huge surprise.
"Then can you sense where the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass are, Ah Yin? Let's transplant them here and turn the back mountain of our academy into a Blue Silver Domain. That would greatly benefit both our future cultivation."
Ah Yin thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Over the next two months, the two of them repeatedly entered the Great Star Dou Forest, digging up Blue Silver Trees that people usually overlooked.
After reaching a thousand years of cultivation, Blue Silver Grass evolved into Blue Silver Trees. They resembled willow trees, with dense, willow-branch-like leaves and vivid Blue Silver Grass growing across them.
But because they possessed no particularly powerful soul skills, ordinary Soul Masters would not hunt them. Only commoner Soul Masters who truly could not afford to hire any experts would seek them out for soul rings. As for soul skills...
Their hard work during this period paid off. Ye Wen and Ah Yin transplanted thousands of hundred-year Blue Silver Vines and one hundred Blue Silver Trees to the back mountain of Heavenly Path Academy, giving the previously barren and unremarkable mountain a faintly ethereal atmosphere.
Among them were sixty-two Blue Silver Trees that had just reached a thousand years, twenty-five Blue Silver Trees with more than three thousand years of cultivation, and twelve with more than five thousand years. The highest-cultivated one was a Blue Silver Tree that was over Nine-Thousand-Year old. It seemed that after another hundred years or so, it could break through and become a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver King.
And all of these had only been collected from part of the outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest. Ye Wen had no plans to touch the Blue Silver clan in the Mixed Zone yet. On one hand, his strength was insufficient; on the other, he simply did not have enough land.
As the Blue Silver Forest was gradually transplanted, the disciples cultivating in the academy also clearly felt their cultivation improving faster, along with the sensation of their bodies being nourished at every moment. They knew that this was the superior cultivation environment their master had created for them.
