Qian Renxue: I Think I Can Still Be Saved! The Body of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! My Teacher Is a Fire Element Soul Master

Actually, ever since Qian Renxue had become a cripple, Bibi Dong's attitude toward her had changed without her even realizing it.

At first, she had been happy, but as time passed,

whenever she saw Qian Renxue looking so wretched and downtrodden, for some reason, another person's image would always surface in her mind.

Both had fallen from genius to dust, both were utterly lost and dejected.

When those two figures overlapped,

and on top of that, Qian Renxue was still her daughter, after all,

all sorts of emotions became tangled together.

It was like a hotpot, numbingly spicy, fiery, and impossible to stop eating.

It made her involuntarily let go of some things, and involuntarily want to take a step forward.

"There's also part of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's body in here. Send it to her as well."

After a moment's thought, Bibi Dong took out a ring-shaped Storage Soul Tool and handed it to her maid.

Hu Liena's expression didn't change,

but a storm surged in her heart.

She didn't care how precious the body of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was.

She had never envied Qian Renxue's status as the young mistress,

nor her talent, which surpassed everyone on the continent. She didn't even care about her status as Spirit Hall's Saintess.

But what she couldn't bear

was that Qian Renxue had taken the love that had once belonged to her alone.

She had no father or mother and had grown up in an orphanage,

until Bibi Dong noticed her and took her in as a disciple. Only then had she experienced, for the first time, what it was like to have someone care about her,

what it was like to receive such fervent and sincere maternal love!

And now, she could only watch as the love that had belonged exclusively to her slipped away bit by bit,

shifting toward someone else.

It felt as if her life had been stolen from her. It was unbearable, unsettling.

Inside the bedroom.

Qian Renxue held the Storage Soul Guidance Ring the maid had brought her, and warmth welled up inside her.

But in the next instant, it turned to confusion and unease.

She had seen how Bibi Dong had changed over the years.

But the impressions left by the past had been too deep.

With her cultivation gone, her heart had become more sensitive and fragile than before, like a hedgehog that had been hurt.

She yearned for that little bit of warmth, yet feared that if she got too close, she would be pricked until she was covered in wounds.

She hoped Bibi Dong truly cared about her, yet feared that some other motive lay behind that concern.

She wanted to take a step forward,

but didn't dare,

so she could only curl up inside her shell, caught in an endless cycle of hesitation.

But no matter what, Bibi Dong had sent her a precious Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's body at a time like this. At the very least, it proved that Bibi Dong was always thinking of her...

Compared to Qian Daoliu,

the scales in her heart couldn't help but tip in Bibi Dong's favor.

"Mm, everything's ready? Then take it all out."

Just then, Ling Xiao's voice sounded again, bringing her back to reality.

"Yes, teacher. It's all ready!"

Qian Renxue hurriedly took a large pile of materials out of the Storage Soul Tool.

Although Qian Renxue's status was extraordinary,

her bedroom was over a hundred square meters.

But all kinds of Soul Beast remains, fruits brimming with Soul Power, ores, and other materials still took up nearly half the room when piled together.

The dense waves of Soul Power were almost tangible, surging through the air.

One rabbit leg among them, two or three meters long in particular,

emanated such a powerful pressure

that Qian Renxue's calves trembled faintly.

"Not bad!"

Ling Xiao only glanced at the materials, yet immediately understood their properties.

Then he changed the subject.

"However, rather than using these materials to restore your Soul Power and cultivation, they'd be better suited to helping your Martial Soul advance further."

"My Martial Soul... evolve?"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened.

"Isn't the Six-Winged Angel the highest-level Martial Soul on the whole continent?"

This was completely beyond her understanding!

"It used to be. From now on, it won't be!"

There was a hint of pride and disdain in Ling Xiao's voice.

As soon as he finished speaking,

a red crystal and a small blue plant flew out from the mountain of materials.

Qian Renxue didn't understand. She had only put those two items in her Soul Tool because they seemed to contain a lot of Soul Power.

Was there something special about them?

"You're lucky. This is a Volcanic Gold Crystal, formed deep within the earth's crust. It takes tens of millions of years to take shape."

"Its gold-and-fire properties, refined to the utmost, can help a Martial Soul break and be reborn."

"Such a pearl hidden in the dust!"

"And this Jade Bead Grass seedling can provide the life force needed for your Martial Soul Evolution!"

As he spoke,

a translucent soul appeared in the room.

His hair was tied up in a golden topknot, and his black robe was adorned with gold thread and mysterious patterns, lending him an extraordinarily noble air.

His long black hair and robe moved as if stirred by a wind.

Though he stood perfectly still, he gave off an otherworldly air, as though he had risen above the mundane world.

Even more captivating

was the indescribable quality about him.

Even though his features were unclear, there was no doubt he had to be incredibly handsome!

But that kind of handsomeness wasn't about his looks. It was the bearing that seemed to emanate from his very bones.

Sharp, composed, and touched with a hint of carefree irreverence!

Qian Renxue stared for a moment. Only after belatedly realizing what she was doing did her pretty face flush slightly, and she hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, teacher!"

Ling Xiao nodded slightly.

"Shall I first help your Martial Soul advance further this time, then help restore your cultivation next time?"

"I'll do whatever you think best, teacher!"

Of course Qian Renxue had no reason to refuse.

She was eager to restore her cultivation, but the chance to evolve her Martial Soul was one that came once in a thousand years.

Besides, after her Martial Soul evolved,

her cultivation speed would surely rise to a whole new level. Sharpening the blade wouldn't delay the woodcutter, and she knew how to weigh the priorities.

"Good. Stand aside and watch how your teacher does it."

Ling Xiao waved Qian Renxue aside, then raised his hand.

A snow-white flame appeared in his palm.

It looked cold and gentle.

Yet the instant it appeared, the temperature in the room soared.

What kind of flame was this?

The terrifying heat forced Qian Renxue to retreat another half-step.

She instinctively raised a hand to shield her face,

but even from several meters away, the palm of her hand felt scorching hot.

Her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul also had fire attributes, but compared with this little flame, the Angel Flame

was like a firefly trying to outshine the moon!

And, strangely enough, the flame wasn't just absurdly hot. Deep in its flickering core, there was also a chill that pierced straight into the soul!

How bizarre!

"Could my teacher... be a Fire Element Soul Master?"

Looking at the snow-white flame, Qian Renxue couldn't help guessing.

It was only then

that she suddenly remembered something incredibly awkward—

she had already become his disciple.

Yet even now, she still didn't know this mysterious teacher's name!

She had been so focused on restoring her cultivation that she hadn't even asked something so important!

The moment she thought of this,

she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor with her toes.

And Ling Xiao had been lost in his own thoughts at the time, so he hadn't thought of it either.

And so, this awkward situation had come to be.

"Mortifying. This is utterly mortifying!"

"Qian Renxue, you're such an idiot. How could you forget something like that?"

She cursed herself in her heart, laying into herself without mercy.

"No, I think I can still be saved. I'll figure something out and try to ask indirectly."

"Otherwise, what if teacher realizes one day..."

Her reputation would be ruined forever!

The thought of suddenly being found out one day,

of the two of them staring at each other, wide-eyed, made her even more flustered and uneasy.

Ling Xiao had no idea what was going through Qian Renxue's head, much less noticed her furtive glances from side to side.

All his attention was focused on the materials in front of him.

With a wave of his hand,

the Soul Beast remains, ores, and fruits brimming with life force lined up,

then flowed into the snow-white flame like items on an assembly line.

Each material was first subjected to intense refining by the high temperature at the flame's surface,

until its impurities turned to green smoke and vanished.

Then the extreme cold deep within the flame's core extracted it a second time, leaving behind only a wisp of the purest essence!
