Di Qiu'er and Her Little Treasury, Soft Rice Is Truly Delicious!

Seeing Di Qiu'er looking for praise like this, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

He had almost forgotten that the one before him was the Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, a "little princess" in every sense of the word.

This wasn't some beginner's gift pack; this was starting the game with max-level divine gear!

"The spirit bones and medicinal herbs aren't urgent; those things can be obtained at any time."

Su Chen spoke, his expression turning serious.

"Right now, there is something more important that I need your help with."

Su Chen paused, looking at Di Qiu'er with a burning gaze.

"Given your status in the Star Dou Great Forest, you are the only one who can handle this."

"What is it? Tell me!"

Di Qiu'er patted her chest, wearing an expression that said, "Leave it to me."

"Help me find a 100,000-year spirit beast."

Su Chen added:

"It would be best to find one whose lifespan is coming to an end, or one that is severely injured and near death, yet still harbors an obsession and refuses to simply fade away."

This was Su Chen's true objective.

Su Chen wanted to attempt a brand-new cultivation system—the Soul Spirit!

It was the Soul Spirit method used by Huo Gua.

Back in his third simulated life, that Necromancer Saint from another world, the Scourge of the Undead Electrolux, had once passed this secret technique called the Soul Spirit Contract to Su Chen.

It was just a pity that in that simulated timeline, his martial soul talent was simply too overpowered, allowing him to sweep through everything invincible; he never had any use for a method that required "negotiating" with spirit beasts, causing this unique skill to remain buried at the bottom of his chest.

But now, the situation was different.

By utilizing the Soul Spirit Secret Method, he could completely absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring beyond his level within the limits of his body's endurance, and even preserve the spirit beast's consciousness, allowing them to become Su Chen's partners in battle!

And to achieve this condition, a "dying" 100,000-year spirit beast that "doesn't want to die" was the perfect experimental subject.

"About that..."

Di Qiu'er scratched her head in embarrassment, her eyes darting around.

Two patches of awkward red bloomed on her cheeks.

"This matter... I'm afraid I can't make the call. Such major affairs involving the life and death of spirit beasts are usually handled by Uncle Di Tian."

On the surface, she was the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, sounding awe-inspiring, second only to one and above all beasts.

But in reality... she knew it very well.

Her position in the Star Dou Great Forest, to put it bluntly, was that of a super mascot.

Her daily routine consisted of: eating, sleeping, and wandering around to radiate auspicious energy.

All the fierce beasts treated her like a "little ancestor" to be pampered; who would dare let her worry about such messy matters of killing and fighting?

If it were just about finding a dying 100,000-year spirit beast, it wouldn't be difficult.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was so vast that in the core area, spirit beasts fought tooth and nail over territory every day; there were plenty of opportunities to pick up scraps.

But the key issue was that she couldn't "command" them!

100,000-year spirit beasts were all overlords in their own right; they had their dignity!

If she ran over and said to one, "Hey, you there, I see you're about to kick the bucket, why not put your remaining heat to use and sacrifice yourself to this human?"

She would likely be beaten out on the spot!

Commanding those ten-thousand-year spirit beasts with low intelligence was one thing, but asking a 100,000-year spirit beast to listen to her orders and go to its death?

That was an international joke!

That was the kind of deterrent power only the Beast God Di Tian possessed; she, an "Auspicious Beast" responsible only for acting cute and providing buffs, didn't have that much face.

"Cough, cough, how about... we go talk to Di Tian instead?"

Di Qiu'er blinked her large eyes, attempting to act cute to get through it.

Forget about finding Di Tian.

Even if he had to find him, it wouldn't be now!

At the very least, he had to wait until his spirit power reached the Spirit Saint level, even with a super divine artifact in hand.

But right now, the Bell of the Departed was just a blank slate; without the undead or a Bionic Body, how was he supposed to fight Di Tian?

It was a bit difficult for Di Qiu'er to understand the twists and turns of human affairs.

"It's fine, there's always a way when the cart reaches the mountain."

Su Chen wasn't discouraged; instead, he laughed freely.

Would a living person really be stifled to death by a bit of urine? There were always more solutions than problems.

That night, the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest appeared exceptionally eerie.

Two human powerhouses, one human youth, and two notoriously fierce soul beasts had actually spent the night in peace.

If word of this got out, the entire soul master world would likely explode in an uproar.

The next morning, a thin mist hung in the air.

After a simple rest, Su Chen prepared to set off to obtain his soul ring.

However, before that, Di Qiu'er mysteriously tugged at the corner of his clothes, insisting on taking him somewhere.

It had to be said that as the Auspicious Beast, Di Qiu'er's instinct for finding treasure was absolutely maxed out.

Passing through a dense forest, the view suddenly opened up. A massive waterfall hung like an inverted galaxy, its roaring sound deafening.

"It's right inside!"

Di Qiu'er pointed behind the waterfall.

Passing through the curtain of water, they found a hidden world.

It was a dry and spacious karst cave, yet when they saw the scene inside, the entire world seemed to stand still.

Light! Multicolored light!

Inside the cave, it was piled high with a dazzling array of bones and plants emitting strange medicinal fragrances!

Soul bones! They were all soul bones!

Although most were century or millennium-level, with only a minority being ten-thousand-year-level, the sheer quantity was staggering!

Like a mountain of trash, they were piled carelessly in the corner.

Su Chen glanced at them, his expression indifferent.

"The quantity is indeed large."

However, his standards had long been spoiled by the system, and such "junk" could hardly stir any ripples in him, though Su Chen did discover something interesting.

However, two gasps sounded from behind him like vacuum cleaners.

"Hiss--!!!"

Du Busi and Zhang Lexuan's jaws were practically hitting the floor.

Especially Du Busi; his eyes were bulging like copper bells, and his breathing was as ragged as a bellows.

"This... this, this, this..."

"In my entire life, I have never seen so many soul bones! This is practically the treasury of an entire sect!"

It was too shocking! Although the individual quality wasn't high, the massive base number was enough to start a war between the two great empires and trigger a bloody storm across the entire soul master world if it were leaked!

Watching the two of them act like they had never seen the world, Chi Wang, who was lying on the ground to the side, snorted in boredom.

It guarded Di Qiu'er closely, all three of its heads rolling their eyes at the same time.

Tch, humans are always making such a fuss.

To soul beasts, these bones couldn't be eaten or used; they were just a pile of useless rocks.

However...

Chi Wang's fierce gaze secretly flickered toward Su Chen, its heart filled with confusion and frustration.

It couldn't figure out for the life of it how their noble Auspicious Beast could have given all these "treasures" she had hoarded for so long to this human boy all at once.

Could this be what the legends call... a girl favoring an outsider?

"Qiu'er, who is that? Your new little follower?"

Su Chen pointed at the pile of iridescent soul bones in the corner.

His gaze easily pierced through the mountain of soul bones emitting brilliant light, precisely locking onto the little fellow hiding in the deepest part, who was currently shivering in fear.
