The Restless Monkey Mind and Galloping Thoughts

After bidding farewell to Kang Zhan and his group, Ling Yi, along with Zhang Mufeng and the other two, as well as four brocade boxes, returned to the wooden house between Howling Wind Market and the outpost guarding Howling Wind Canyon.

After instructing his three companions to focus on their cultivation, Ling Yi placed the consultation fees he had received that day into the storage room inside the wooden house.

Upon arriving at the wooden house filled with "Blue Silver Grass," Ling Yi 'Ling Yi wandering thoughts were finally pulled back to reality by him pulling on the reins.

In a small room of about seven or eight square meters, three sturdy wooden shelves were filled with containers of different sizes.

These containers include wooden and iron boxes sent by Yue Qing and Kang Zhan today, as well as some stone boxes, pottery jars, and trays, which are either made of different materials or have different shapes.

It has to be said that becoming a healer with strong healing abilities is much more lucrative than being a blacksmith at the level of a Blacksmith!

The Spinal Marrow Pearl of the 800-year-old "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" that Kang Zhan brought out today alone is worth at least Gold Soul Coin on the market, and it's the kind that's priceless!

Well, the effects of a century-old "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" Spinal Marrow Pearl will be greatly reduced for Soul Master with strong physiques and strength exceeding a thousand jin, so this price is reasonable.

After all, even if Soul Master at the Soul Elder level were to take advantage of the Spirit Hall's subsidies, earning 100 Gold Soul Coin per month, it would still take ten months...

According to the Spirit Hall's regulations on subsidies for Soul Master, subsidies cease after breaking through to the Soul Ancestor level. If a Soul Master remains at the Soul Elder level, wouldn't they be able to scrape together 100 Gold Soul Coin a month for the rest of their life?

As Ling Yi was calculating how many Gold Soul Coin this room was worth, a sudden, divergent thought popped into his head.

Just like Yu Xiaogang in the original novel, without Tang San's help, he would have been stuck at level 29 for his entire life. As long as he swallowed his pride and didn't care that his information was exposed in the Spirit Hall's intelligence system, he could have continued to collect subsidies indefinitely.

A Soul Master with average talent can earn a living by diligently cultivating to the Soul Elder, and then only cultivating to the minimum to ensure that their strength does not decline, or by being granted the title of Baron. They can receive a subsidy of 1,200 Gold Soul Coin per year from the Spirit Hall.

Ten years is twelve thousand!

If Soul Elder breaks through at the age of thirty, does not participate in battles, and lives peacefully until the age of ninety, they can receive 720,000 Gold Soul Coin over sixty years!

If one of their descendants has good aptitude, they could actually use their "money power" to cultivate a master.

In this way, a high-class Soul Master family is beginning to take shape.

Ling Yi shook his head, trying to shake off the thoughts that were drifting further and further away. As his Martial Soul quality evolved, his mental power became stronger and stronger, and his thoughts became more and more uncontrollable.

This is one of the few troubles Ling Yi has these days.

He immediately clasped his hands together, extended his index fingers to touch, forming the "Lin" hand seal, and focused his mind, allowing himself to enter a state of "Maintain Profound Stillness".

This was taught to him by a cosplay girl who made short videos in his past life. Back then, one of them dressed up as the Fifth Hokage and the other as the Sixth Hokage, and they did a very ritualistic foreplay before the battle...

Hmm, suppressing the increasingly clear memories caused by his clear mind, Ling Yi tugged at the hem of his slightly tight clothes and recalled the ancient book that the Chinese literature major recommended to him the next day in the library when he was performing Naruto hand seals for another Chinese literature major.

In the seventeenth chapter of the Traversing Mountains Chapter of Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" from the Eastern Jin Ge Hong, titled "Dengshe," it says, "The prayer is: 'When the soldiers are in battle, they will all advance in formation. Always keep an eye on them, and there will be nothing they cannot avoid.'"

emmm...

To be honest, after traveling for so long, my mental strength is much stronger than before, and my spiritual realm has also been able to achieve a preliminary level of harmony and unity between the external environment, the surrounding environment, and my own body, thanks to the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul and the convenience of planting "Blue Silver Grass" everywhere.

In a sense, it can be considered to have touched upon the concept of "harmony between man and nature".

However, he still felt confused about the "Tao" and "principle" of those ancient sages from his previous life.

This is a typical case of knowing what happens but not why it happens.

Thinking this, Ling Yi looked down at himself and cursed inwardly, "Useless."

He'll be sixteen soon.

He's almost sixteen!

A single word can make a world of difference!

Ling Yi tugged at the hem of his clothes again, his gaze sweeping over the wooden shelf holding the "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" Spinal Marrow Pearl, claws, scales, and other Soul Beast materials.

Although there were no labels, Ling Yi knew that there were many materials produced from various Soul Beast inside.

These materials include things that Soul Master consider valuable, as well as some that are discarded like trash.

For example, the stones in the stomachs of certain bovine or canine Soul Beast are usually discarded by the Soul Master who performs the dissection.

Just like the tree roots, bark, Huahua, and plants in different containers on another wooden shelf, they were all regarded as Ling Yi's unique collecting hobby by the Soul Master who came for treatment and paid their fees.

Of course, Ling Yi doesn't only accept these "worthless" "garbage".

There are still some valuable items, such as a large piece of dried resin and wood polymer that looks like rotten wood, which is quite popular among Soul Master World and nobles.

When the fragments of agarwood are burned, the aroma can calm the mind and improve the cultivation state of Soul Master.

In addition, on another wooden shelf, there were some Soul Tool that were not new in appearance, but were definitely not old either.

Some are shaped like small trumpets, which can amplify sound when empowered by Soul Power; some resemble small boxes, but can store sound and play it when activated by Soul Power; some are inlaid with a transparent crystal, which can emit light when activated by Soul Power...

Well, although they are mostly useless Soul Tool, they are still Soul Tool nonetheless. In the current Douluo Continent, they can be sold for a price, whether high or low, no matter where they are.

What interested Ling Yi the most was a pair of shackle-like Soul Tool, which were said to have been lost from a fallen Soul Master family. Wearing them could seal Soul Master's Soul Power.

Special note: This is only applicable to One-Ring Soul Master, meaning it can only seal Soul Scholar. Soul Power exceeding level 10 can break through the seal.

Okay, this toy is a bit funny, but Ling Yi still really likes these shackles. It's not because of any Ling Yi hobby; he's a decent person, detached from low-level interests. It's purely because the sealing principles they contain are worth studying.

Feeling a great sense of accomplishment, Ling Yi glanced around the storage room one last time, cut off a large piece of "agarwood," and turned back to his lounge.

After cutting the "agarwood" into small pieces and scattering them evenly in the rows of wooden troughs on the wall of the rest room as fertilizer for each "Blue Silver Grass Blue Silver Grass," Ling Yi returned to his bed and entered a state of Soul Power.

As mentioned before, agarwood is a valuable commodity. However, it's not that valuable; it's only slightly more expensive than the meat of ordinary animals.

Besides being abundant in the Soul Beast Forest, this creature can also be found in quite a few forests without Soul Beast.

The demand for this item is not high among Soul Master; it's more of a market demand from nobles of average strength who are just trying to appear cultured.

Whether it's due to their worldview or their cultural level, the Soul Master on the Douluo Continent seem to have a lukewarm attitude towards these external resources.

With these questions in mind, Ling Yi began cultivating his Soul Power. He was about to return to "Wood Plant City," and it would always be good to be stronger.

The seeds sown earlier are now growing well, and it's time to harvest them.
