Happiness had come so suddenly.
Although this Bobo Coconut Tree was no hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and was only around ten thousand years old. After all, no matter how much the King of Myriad Demons doted on this auspicious beast child, he could not possibly hand her a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to mess around with.
Even so, it still gave little Bai Ran a very big shock.
Bai Ran: Was this what it felt like to be kept?
In truth, Bai Ran knew very well that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was being so easy to talk to right now entirely because she had developed a strong interest in the "Raw Coconut Latte" he had mentioned.
If the Raw Coconut Latte he produced failed to satisfy her, his ending would probably not be pretty.
Under the order of the emperor auspicious beast, no matter how unwilling the ten-thousand-year Bobo Coconut Tree was, it could only obediently do as told beneath that pressure.
As a mysterious formation enveloped Bai Ran.
The ten-thousand-year Bobo Coconut Tree turned into a black soul ring and slowly descended onto Bai Ran.
Compared with directly absorbing a soul ring, a soul ring obtained through sacrifice could ignore those negative conditions.
When other soul masters obtained their first soul ring, even if they had been tempered by heavenly treasures from childhood, at most they could absorb a thousand-year soul ring, and there was still a considerable risk of failure.
But if it was a soul ring sacrifice instead, forget ten thousand years—even a hundred-thousand-year soul ring was not impossible to absorb.
If Huo Yuhao had encountered the Sky Dream Iceworm and it had not chosen to become his "wisdom soul ring," but instead chosen to sacrifice itself directly, Huo Yuhao would have directly obtained a million-year soul ring, rather than a ten-year white soul ring sealed layer upon layer.
"How is it, human? Can you make the Raw Coconut Latte now?"
Seeing that Bai Ran had successfully obtained his first soul ring, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hurriedly asked.
To the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a ten-thousand-year soul beast was nothing at all. If she casually ran outside once, she could bite ten or eight of them to death.
When the King of Myriad Demons learned that this little ancestor had come to ask him for a fruit tree, he had even thought this little ancestor had changed tastes, and was currently considering which plant to give the little fellow next time.
King of Myriad Demons: They are merely a few unpromising juniors. Compared with the fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, what do they count for?
"Mm..."
Bai Ran was sensing the first soul skill the Bobo Coconut Tree had given him.
If nothing unexpected happened, then nothing unexpected had happened.
His first soul skill really was Luckin Coffee's king of single items—Raw Coconut Latte.
As for the specific effects of this soul skill, Bai Ran was rather surprised.
Perhaps because the soul ring's age was too high, the effects of this soul skill were somewhat beyond expectations.
Raw Coconut Latte: After drinking, adjusts the elemental balance within the body and expels impurities and toxins from the body. (Includes the refreshing and mind-clearing effect of coffee liquid.)
Drinking one Raw Coconut Latte could only remove poison-type negative effects, equivalent to a purification-type soul skill.
But if one drank Raw Coconut Latte over a long period, it could regulate certain hidden ailments that were difficult to treat, and even cleanse the marrow and refine the body, improving the drinker's aptitude.
Aside from that, the most heaven-defying effect of this Raw Coconut Latte was bloodline purification.
For soul masters, it might still be all right, but for soul beasts, the level of their bloodline determined the height of their future.
If they were told now that there was a divine object in the world that could raise bloodline purity after drinking it, every single one of them would probably go mad.
However, because the effect was too heaven-defying, the chance of triggering bloodline purification was only 1%.
In other words, only after drinking one hundred cups of Raw Coconut Latte might one encounter a single chance to purify their bloodline, and the effect of the bloodline purification was not fixed either.
It might be 90%, enough to let a maggot transform into a dragon, or it might be 0.9%, with almost no visible change.
"It's ready, big kitty.
What sweetness level do you want?"
"Mm... Give me the sweetest one."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion indicated that she did not want to drink anything bitter.
"First soul skill, Luckin Raw Coconut Latte.
Not every coconut can become a Raw Coconut Latte. Cold-pressed raw coconut, preserving the true original flavor.
Luckin Raw Coconut Latte, the coffee I've drunk since I was little."
When food-type, or rather auxiliary-type soul masters used soul skills, they would all chant an incantation to ensure that the soul power in their bodies flowed smoothly, allowing them to successfully use the soul skill.
It was just that, compared with other food-type soul masters, why did Bai Ran feel like the incantation he chanted sounded more like a Luckin Coffee advertisement?
So Luckin Coffee was a pay-to-win player too.
"This is Raw Coconut Latte?"
After Bai Ran condensed that cup of Raw Coconut Latte, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion unceremoniously snatched it away and began examining it seriously.
If the black Iced Americano gave people the impression that it did not look tasty at all.
Then this cup of Raw Coconut Latte had a faint layer of black on top, while the lower part was wrapped in coconut milk. On the contrary, it looked like a fragrant, soft chocolate cream cake.
If one stirred it a few times with the straw before drinking, the black coffee would be completely covered by the white coconut milk.
What happened to black infecting every other color?
How had it ended up the other way around in this cup of Raw Coconut Latte?
Time to see how it tasted.
Having learned from the previous Iced Americano, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not gulp it down this time. Instead, she chose to take a gentle sip.
But her size was what it was. In Bai Ran's eyes, it was merely the difference between draining more than half the cup in one sip and draining almost half the cup in one sip.
"Mm?"
The sweetness of the coconut milk was naturally refreshing, balancing the bitterness of the coffee. The coffee beans brought out a nutty tone that echoed the coconut aroma, and with it being an iced drink, a sweet-tart fruitiness stood out even more.
"Delicious! Human, another cup."
Compared with plain coconut milk, this Raw Coconut Latte was far better in flavor by who knew how much.
Though the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not understand why coffee that had originally tasted so awful would become so much better than plain coconut milk after being mixed with it.
But if she could not figure it out, then there was no need to think about it. As long as she could drink it, that was enough.
After drinking ten cups, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally stopped.
It was not that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was full. The main reason was that Bai Ran had run out of soul power.
The soul skill brought by a ten-thousand-year soul ring was powerful, yes, but the soul power it consumed when released was clearly far greater. If it had been a hundred-year soul ring, Bai Ran estimated he could have made twenty or thirty cups.
But with a ten-thousand-year soul ring...
With Bai Ran's current soul power rank of fifteen, close to reaching sixteen, being able to make ten cups was already his limit. (After absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, breaking through five or six soul power ranks is normal, right?)
"Human, you're so weak."
Disappointment was written all over the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face, along with a bit of lingering dissatisfaction.
It felt like a wife left alone in an empty room, finally getting the chance to enjoy herself, only to discover her husband's granary was empty.
"How am I weak? Big kitty, I'm definitely going to stuff your little mouth full with huge cups of Luckin Coffee."
Bai Ran, whose soul power had been drained dry, only had a hard mouth left on him now.
"Pfft~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not help laughing.
She suddenly felt that the little brat in front of her was actually rather interesting.
