"My name is Huang Fei. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. I'm a Level 12 peak healing-type One Ring Soul Master."

Huang Fei spoke.

"A healing type?"

"Well, that makes sense. Blue Silver Grass has no offensive power, no control abilities, and no defensive capabilities. Your only hope is to follow the healing and support paths."

"Not everyone can be as formidable as Sea God Tang San, the ancestor from ten thousand years ago."

"It's said that Sea God Tang San's Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor..."

"If powerful Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls were so easy to come by, they wouldn't have withered away again over the past ten thousand years following Ancestor Tang San's ascension to godhood."

After learning this, Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue, Zhou Sichen, Cui Yajie, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian naturally revealed their disdain for Blue Silver Grass.

After all, everyone present possessed either a high-grade or top-tier Martial Soul.

Even though Tang San had set a precedent, Blue Silver Grass could not escape the fact that it was a useless, low-grade Martial Soul.

They came from prestigious families and generations of wealth and power, yet they had to fight alongside someone with such a low-grade Martial Soul. It was simply embarrassing and made them uncomfortable.

Such reactions were only natural.

Ning Tian asked, "Huang Fei, if you don't mind, what is your First Soul Skill? How effective is its healing?"

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Tower possessed both support and healing abilities and was an ultra-top-tier Martial Soul. Even if Huang Fei's useless Blue Silver Grass had luckily absorbed a Thousand Year Soul Ring as its First Soul Ring, its healing effects would surely be limited by the low grade of his Martial Soul and would not amount to much.

It might not even be as effective as the ordinary hundred-year Soul Rings of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower and Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Tower.

That was what she believed.

Huang Fei did not mention that he was also skilled in combat. He planned to put on a grand show at the right moment and stun everyone present.

That was more in line with the setting of a transmigrator.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger, showing off and slapping faces, shocking reversals, stunning the whole field, making people look at him in a new light.

Besides, even if he said now that he knew a little martial arts, no one would take him seriously.

Naturally, he could sense and see the contempt these six people held toward him.

But he did not care.

Because time would prove that he was the strongest.

He said calmly, "My First Soul Skill is Life Recovery. It can instantly restore nonfatal injuries, physical strength, and Spiritual Power. Although you are about ten levels above me, I don't think it should be too much of a problem."

"Instantly? The consumption must be enormous, right?"

"Especially with such a large difference in Soul Power between us."

"The effect will definitely be greatly reduced."

Wu Feng and the others immediately voiced their opinions.

For a Thousand Year Soul Ring to have such an effect was already quite impressive.

"By the way, how did you absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring as your First Soul Ring?"

"Even those of us with high-grade and top-tier Martial Souls can't do it. Why could you, with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?"

Long Xiangyue raised a crucial question.

Everyone wanted to know the answer.

If they figured it out, perhaps they too could absorb Soul Rings beyond their level, and their strength would experience an unprecedented surge.

"Of course, I absorbed a pure life-type plant Soul Beast, one without the slightest offensive ability. The Soul Power energy of such Soul Beasts is gentle. As long as a Soul Master's body is not truly frail, absorbing one is not a problem. As it happens, I was lucky enough to encounter one."

"If it were you, you could do it even more easily than I did. However, after absorbing it, the Soul Skill would not possess any offensive means."

"If you want to absorb higher-year Soul Rings beyond your level, you must give up something. There is no such thing as perfection in this world."

Huang Fei spoke calmly.

"I see."

"But Soul Beasts like that are difficult to find and exceedingly rare. It seems your luck really is good."

"Huang Fei, can you tell us what your first Soul Beast was?"

Ning Tian suddenly understood.

"That's my secret. But if you want to buy the intelligence, I can tell you privately."

"Of course, you can also pool your intelligence fees and I'll tell all of you."

Huang Fei smiled and held out his hand.

The people before him were all wealthy.

If he did not seize this chance to extort a little money, that would not be in his nature.

The compensation Beibei had given him was neither much nor little.

More importantly, he would never turn down any amount of money.

He had been born poor.

What he loved most was money.

Watching his flat wallet grow fuller was one of his hobbies.

The reason he had not charged for the earlier information was mainly to lay the groundwork for the name of the Soul Beast that followed.

Any force with some foundation could easily find that information in Books.

But finding the Soul Beast itself was another matter.

"Fine, I'll pay you. There are ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in this card. It's unregistered and can be used at Merchant Banks across the entire continent. I want to purchase your intelligence privately, and I'm buying exclusive rights to it for one month. During that month, you cannot tell anyone else. After the month is over, do as you please."

Ning Tian was very generous. Money was what she lacked least; anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.

She directly took out a golden card and handed it to Huang Fei.

This intelligence was especially meaningful.

One month was enough time for her to inform the sect and have them begin searching.

If they found it, or a similar type of Soul Beast, perhaps the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could imitate this method as well.

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!?"

"You really are generous. As expected of the Young Mistress of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect—you truly don't lack money."

The Others were stunned upon hearing this.

They withdrew the hands that had been reaching for their Storage Soul Guide Rings.

Some were even embarrassed to take out their money.

That was because they had hoped to get it for free and had only intended to give Huang Fei a dozen or so Gold Soul Coins, perhaps a hundred at most.

They had not expected Ning Tian, this wealthy Young Mistress, to offer ten thousand Gold Soul Coins right away.

If they brought out their money now, it would seem painfully inadequate.

Hearing everyone's casual praise, Ning Tian, the wealthy Young Mistress, was quite pleased.

"Alright, no problem."

Huang Fei had not expected her to be so generous either, and he immediately accepted it.

The two walked some distance away. Huang Fei compressed his Soul Power and told Ning Tian the name Vine of Life.

What!? It's actually Vine of Life!?

That is an extremely rare pure life-type plant, and one of the top existences among plant bloodlines. Our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has never been able to find one, yet you encountered it? And it was even a Thousand Year one! Your luck is unbelievably good!

Where was it? When did you encounter it?

Ning Tian was shocked and pressed him for answers.

Miss Ning Tian, that's two questions.

Huang Fei replied with a smile.

I'll give you another twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins. Tell me quickly.

Ning Tian urged.

She did not lack money. She took out another Gold Card and handed it to Huang Fei.

This Gold Card held twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Huang Fei was very satisfied.

So he told Ning Tian the location in the Star Dou Great Forest and the specific time.

If you want to verify it, you should go quickly.

The corpse of the Vine of Life should still be there. If you arrive too late, it may be eaten by Soul Beasts.

Alright, I understand.

Thank you for the intelligence.

Each of us got what we needed. No need to be polite.

Ning Tian felt that the thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins she had spent today had been particularly worthwhile.

All of the above had been conveyed through compressed Soul Power Voice Transmission.

Unless one's Soul Power was truly high, it was impossible to eavesdrop.

After they finished talking, Ning Tian was in a great mood. Clearly, her favorable impression of Huang Fei had deepened.

The disdain on her face was gone as well.

Encountering Vine of Life was enough to prove that Huang Fei had excellent luck.

Someone like him was worth befriending; it would be beneficial to become friends.

Her judgment of people had always been quite good.

She treated the thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins as an early investment in Huang Fei.

She looked forward to seeing the Upper Limit of Huang Fei's future growth.

This time, she did not directly invite Huang Fei to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Instead, she planned to observe Huang Fei's later performance before making any further decisions.
