However, Qian Yu did not intervene in such matters.
He felt that Hu Liena heading toward an extreme was actually a good thing; perhaps she could even use this to improve her strength?
"Throw him into the sea!"
After a moment of contemplation, Qian Yu chose not to kill Jixiang.
It was not that his heart was overflowing with saintly compassion, but rather that the risks were too great.
This guy had the Sea God's Mark from that dog Tang San; if he were killed and Tang San took notice, that would be bad.
For now, it was better to keep a low profile and develop.
In any case, he had already obtained what he wanted.
"Rest assured, I won't leave any traces behind."
Hu Liena said nothing aloud, but inwardly she was grumbling that this Qian Yu was truly a bit perverted.
In this kind of weather, throwing a comatose person into the sea was nothing short of torture; it would be better to just kill him.
However, she had promised Qian Renxue that she would assist this kid with all her might, and since she had given her word, she naturally would not go back on it.
Moreover, she also knew that her brain was not as sharp as this kid's.
After Hu Liena returned from throwing Jixiang into the sea, Qian Yu had already begun to attempt practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Although the entry was somewhat difficult, after trying a few more times and relying on the foundation of having practiced a meditation method, he finally succeeded in mastering the basics after half a day.
It must be said, this Mysterious Heaven Skill was truly profound.
Its cultivation speed far exceeded the Angel Meditation Method, and most importantly, in the process of cultivation, it constantly nourished his meridians and refined the residual divine power within his body, converting it into soul power to strengthen his foundation.
After thoroughly learning and mastering it, Qian Yu did not keep it to himself; after making Hu Liena swear an oath, he imparted everything to her.
"This..."
"This technique, this Purple Demon Eye..."
After attempting to practice, Hu Liena was completely shocked.
If she had possessed this technique when she first awakened her martial soul, she might have already been a Title Douluo by now.
"I can be certain that the Clear Sky Sect does not have such a heritage; where did Tang San obtain it?"
"Could it be that he created it himself?"
"And how did you come to know all of this?"
Hu Liena simply could not suppress her curiosity and couldn't help but ask.
"Tang San, just based on his ability to create this technique, let alone this lifetime, it's impossible even in the next."
"As for how I know, I advise you best not to ask."
"To ask is to invite a path to death!"
Qian Yu looked at Hu Liena coldly.
In truth, he was pondering one thing.
He had previously practiced the Angel Meditation Method, and now that he had successfully switched to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, this meant that what Tang San told Dai Mubai about being unable to switch cultivation techniques was pure nonsense.
He was even more curious: Jixiang possessed the complete version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, so why did it cease to exist ten thousand years later?
Was the technique lost during that process, or was it done by someone intentionally?
Qian Yu felt that this was filled with too many intriguing possibilities.
After successfully mastering the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he began to study other things.
The Purple Demon Eye was necessary to practice. As a transmigrator, he was born with powerful spiritual power, and coupled with Qian Renxue's sacrifice and the God-level Head Soul Bone, it was not difficult for him to practice.
Unknowingly, another half month passed.
The storm finally stopped.
Zi Zhenzhu also noticed that Jixiang was missing and hurriedly sent people to search.
Qian Yu and Hu Liena disguised themselves among the searching crowd, found an opportunity to leave the island, and returned to the Douluo Continent.
They came quietly and left quietly.
The harvest was bountiful!
"Aside from you and Qian Renxue, are there any other trustworthy experts from the Martial Soul Hall still alive?"
On the way back to the Douluo Continent, Qian Yu couldn't help but ask.
Ultimately, he felt that Hu Liena's cultivation was too weak.
Not to mention helping him hunt for souls, if Hu Liena were lucky enough to break through to the Soul Douluo realm, with their current strength, how could they hunt high-age soul beasts?
Would they just have to let her pick any random ten-thousand-year soul beast as a soul ring?
Hu Liena's martial soul still lacked damage output.
"My brother and Yan might still be alive. As for Title Douluo, Qian Renxue once told me that Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo might still be alive, but their injuries are severe; whether they have been reduced to prisoners, I am not entirely sure."
Mentioning this, Hu Liena's mood sank.
These past few days, the reason she had been seeking out Qian Yu from time to time, hovering before him and asking to be scolded, was ultimately because she wanted him to snap her out of it.
And it must be said, it was actually having some effect.
"After helping me hunt for my soul ring, do everything in your power to contact Xie Yue and Yan. As for Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, find them if you can, but if you can't, don't force it."
"I will find a way to secure a safe place for us."
Qian Yu pondered for a moment, feeling that these people could still be trusted, especially Xie Yue and Yan.
As for Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, having once served as Qian Renxue's personal bodyguards and participated in the infiltration of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, they weren't going to be forgiven by those people just by bowing their heads and living in hiding.
They had no other choice.
"Do you have a target for your first soul ring?"
Learning that Qian Yu was finally going to hunt for a soul ring, Hu Liena pulled herself out of her dejected state.
She also wanted to see how this little guy, who could make Qian Renxue sacrifice everything, would be able to turn the tables against the odds.
"Bright White Tiger, Golden Earth Dragon King, Blazing Lion, Holy Unicorn, or Holy Golden Beetle would all work. I want the first soul ring to be thirty thousand years, and for the second, I want to attempt fifty thousand years."
Qian Yu's decision to absorb soul rings of such age wasn't because he had a death wish.
It was truly because his current setup was entirely worth such a risk.
One had to realize that the Angel God no longer had the divine power to grant him, and since his soul ring age could no longer be increased through divine trials, he naturally had to accumulate a deeper foundation.
"That... I don't have enough confidence to kill any of the soul beasts you mentioned on my own!"
Mentioning this, Hu Liena felt nothing but shame and embarrassment.
"You've got to be kidding!"
"You are a powerhouse at the Soul Saint realm, you possess the Slaughter God's Domain, and you have two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone pieces and one External Soul Bone on you, yet you can't handle a thirty-thousand-year soul beast?"
Qian Yu was truly surprised this time.
Although the soul beasts he had chosen were all very powerful, it shouldn't have been difficult for Hu Liena.
Her setup was top-tier, and she possessed means like a domain and an External Soul Bone.
"I will try my best!"
Hu Liena seemed to be psyching herself up, and only then did she finally give an answer.
It was at this moment that Qian Yu finally saw it clearly.
Hu Liena had completely lost her spirit.
In her current state, if she were to face those powerful soul beasts, something unexpected might actually happen.
Since she was the only lackey he had around, she really couldn't afford to die just yet.
"Forget about hunting for the soul ring for now. I'll give you some things first; take them with you for self-defense when you go."
Qian Yu had no choice but to think of another way.
