Light, Lightning, Fire, and the Principles of Herbs (Seeking Readership)

Yu Changge smiled. "Teacher, there aren't any better options right now. I actually think we can give it a try."

Elder Yu nodded and placed all the meat on the ground, indicating that Yu Changge could release Xiao Huang.

The moment Xiao Huang appeared and saw so much Soul Beast meat, it thought its master had prepared it for it. Excited, it circled Yu Changge several times and even rubbed against him.

Yu Changge said to Xiao Huang, "Xiao Huang, out of these Soul Beast meats, choose whichever kinds suit your appetite best."

At those words, Xiao Huang's big eyes lit up.

"But I have to warn you first. The more meat you choose, the more attacks you'll have to endure. If you choose one piece, you'll be attacked once. This is to test the attributes on your body, understand?"

Yu Changge didn't care whether Xiao Huang understood or not. In any case, he said it first.

He felt that his martial soul still possessed very strong spirituality.

One had to know that for the past year and a half, whenever he meditated at night, he would release Xiao Huang and let it watch him cultivate.

Then he would explain some key points of cultivation to Xiao Huang, and after he finished, he would repeat them.

Yes, he had not given up on teaching Xiao Huang how to cultivate!

Although Xiao Huang's current intelligence might not even match that of a one-year-old child, Yu Changge felt that as long as he kept at it, even if Xiao Huang didn't understand, after enough time, its body might rely on instinct to cultivate.

This was somewhat similar to "prenatal education."

And because his innate soul power was relatively low, Xiao Huang could stay outside for a long time without wasting too much soul power.

Now, after a year and a half of "teaching by word and example," although Xiao Huang still had no way to cultivate on its own, he felt that its intelligence should have improved.

Right now, after Xiao Huang heard its master's words, it even revealed a humanlike look of thought.

If possible, it wanted to eat all of this Soul Beast meat, but since its master had said that, it could only choose the ones that attracted it the most.

Xiao Huang carefully sniffed among the different Soul Beast meats, and very quickly chose the piece of Radiant Earth Dragon that contained the light attribute.

"Huh?" Yu Tianqing exclaimed in surprise. "Xiao Huang actually chose light-attribute subdragon meat?"

Yu Shuyao and Elder Yu were likewise a little puzzled. It really didn't look like Xiao Huang possessed the light attribute.

Of course, they definitely couldn't confirm it right now. They would have to have a soul master with light power attack Xiao Huang once to know.

After Xiao Huang chose the Radiant Earth Dragon meat, it looked toward Yu Changge, its eyes asking: Can I keep choosing?

Clearly, it still had meat it wanted.

Yu Changge nodded. Xiao Huang's big eyes lit up again, and then, with some hesitation, it chose both the Thunder-Roar Dragon Lizard meat and the Crimson Flame Snake meat.

Yu Changge indicated that he had not forced Xiao Huang to choose subdragon meat of these three attributes. It had chosen them all on its own.

He thought to himself, Could it be that this method really does have some logic to it?

Elder Yu's expression also became rather interesting. "This method... might be a bit inaccurate. How did it choose meat of three different attributes all at once...?"

Beside him, Yu Changge said, "Teacher, that isn't necessarily the case. During this year and a half, I've fed Xiao Huang subdragon meat every day, and these three types of meat just happen to be its favorites."

Hearing this, Yu Tianqing said, "Then next, do we need to go test Xiao Huang? Shuyao and I are both lightning attribute, and Elder Yu is fire attribute. Right now, we're missing someone with the light attribute."

Elder Yu nodded. "There should be soul masters with the light attribute in the clan. For these next few days, Changge should prepare first. Once we finish the test, Tianqing, you can take him to Star Dou Forest."

"Besides the three attributes of light, lightning, and fire, we need to prepare two more attributes as well, such as wind and darkness, to use as controls. Only then will it be easier to compare how resistant Xiao Huang is to light, lightning, and fire."

Then Elder Yu looked at Yu Changge and said, "Changge, over this past year and a half, you've already learned most of the theory, and your body has also built a solid foundation. After you obtain your first soul ring, you should spend more time on cultivation."

"As for theoretical study, from now on, you only need to set aside another half an hour each day."

"Also, if there's anything you're confused about, you can ask me. And if there's anything else you want to learn about in more depth, you can go to the clan's Library Pavilion and take a look. The books there are rather miscellaneous."

"Yes, Teacher," Yu Changge said.

Over the past year and a half, he had finally learned the appearances and habits of most common spirit beasts, how to judge their ages, and the types of soul skills they might produce after being hunted.

Suddenly, Yu Changge thought of something and asked, "Teacher, do you know much about medicinal herbs? You know as well that my innate soul power is too low. If I want to improve my cultivation potential, relying on Xiao Huang alone won't be enough."

"Xiao Huang devouring subdragon meat truly does help my cultivation, but if possible, I also want to use medicinal herbs to speed up my own cultivation a little without harming my foundation."

Yu Tianqing frowned and said, "Changge, don't start thinking of taking crooked paths. Some medicinal herbs can at most be used to assist cultivation. I've never heard of any medicinal herb that can improve a soul master's talent."

"Your current cultivation speed, while not as fast as soul masters with innate level nine or ten, is already much faster than soul masters with around innate level five."

Yu Changge, however, rarely refuted him. "Dad, I know all that. But this might only be temporary. You know that the lower one's innate soul power is, the easier it is to encounter bottlenecks while cultivating."

"My innate soul power is only half a level. Even if my speed is fast now, can you guarantee one hundred percent that I'll be able to break through to Grand Soul Master or even Soul Elder in the future?"

Yu Tianqing fell silent.

How could he not understand this principle?

At this moment, Elder Yu said, "As for the principles of medicinal herbs, I truly don't know much. My main focus is Soul Beast theory. However, I am already this old, so I do know a little. During this period, I'll organize what I know for you."

"However, the things I know might help promote a soul master's cultivation, but as for improving talent, there is nothing like that..."

When Yu Changge heard this, he showed a "disappointed" expression.

Seeing this, Elder Yu sighed. This disciple of his had suddenly gained such a hope of becoming a battle soul master, and he did not want to let him feel dejected.

Suddenly, he thought of something and continued, "However, if you want to learn more about medicinal herbs, there are three places you can try visiting in the future if you get the chance."
