Soul Spirits Were Only Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst
The laboratory door opened again, and the group filed in.
The spaces that were originally occupied by the sealing pods have been replaced with specially made Soul Spirit containers.
The container's crystal walls were transparent, and the Soul Spirit of the Immortal Herb was curled up inside.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot and weak it resembled a Flame, and the chill of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was reduced to a thin layer. The Dewdrop of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Water had withered, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo had thinned out, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon lay motionless, and the petals of the Aromatic Silk Beauty were half-open and half-closed.
He had clearly been severely beaten.
"Why do they all look like wilted eggplants?" Mu Hongchen leaned closer for a look. "Is there something wrong with them? Hongye, why don't we warm them up by the fire to perk them up?"
Upon hearing this, all the Immortal Herb perked up with utmost concentration.
They didn't want to be suppressed by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Although they had never seen the Red Lotus Karmic Fire before, it felt even more terrifying than the Thunderclap Hell Vine, the number one Destruction attribute plant in the Douluo Continent.
They joined forces to Destruction one back then, but compared to Yin Hongye's, it was nothing.
"This is a normal phenomenon after transformation." Leng Yaozhu stood with her arms crossed, not surprised at all. "Without a physical body, and without even signing a contract with Soul Master, it's like this for the first few days. It will gradually recover afterward. It's mainly because it was forcibly made into Soul Spirit."
Yin Hongye nodded and gently tapped the container closest to Infernal Delicate Apricot with her finger. The flame inside trembled, as if in fear.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot, instinctively feared the Yin Hongye.
"This Soul Spirit thing truly puts an end to the life of Soul Beast. It's a waste to kill indiscriminately unless you're Evil Soul Master."
He couldn't help but joke, "Especially after the Artificial Soul Spirit was developed."
"So, how were Artificial Soul Spirit developed?" Na'er asked curiously.
"I don't know." Yin Hongye smiled calmly, "Anyway, we can only create Soul Spirit under ten thousand years old, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit are becoming increasingly rare."
"The Spirit Pagoda has stored a large number of Soul Spirit throughout the ages. Generally speaking, after Soul Master dies, their Soul Spirit gradually dissipates. In order to preserve these Soul Spirit, the Spirit Pagoda uses many special technologies. Storing them well also makes it easier to find the most suitable Soul Master for them in the future."
"Ultimately, it's all about creating a monopoly! I like this too, but it's a technological monopoly," Mu Hongchen laughed. "However, the Qian Gu family still isn't ruthless enough..."
"Isn't that caused by human greed?" Yin Hongye's voice was calm. "And the price of Soul Spirit is per year, per unit. Tsk tsk tsk, who knows how much they made."
"I remember that the Spirit Pagoda is currently researching Soul Spirit recycling system. Once successful, in the future, if Soul Master dies a natural death, they only need to be sent to the Spirit Pagoda within three days of death, and all the Soul Spirit they previously possessed can be extracted and stored. This would greatly save resources," Mu Hongchen pondered.
"No, how do you know such a secret?" Leng Yaozhu asked doubtfully.
"Isn't this thing supposed to be transparent?" Mu Hongchen asked, puzzled.
Leng Yaozhu's face darkened, and she roughly understood how Mu Hongchen knew. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "This technique requires the cooperation of the Soul Master's family, since the Soul Master's body will be damaged to some extent after the Soul Spirit is extracted."
"Then can the Soul Spirit be reused in the future, so we won't have to hunt Soul Beast anymore?" Di Qiuer asked excitedly.
"Impossible," Yin Hongye smiled faintly. "Imagine a pool with an inlet pipe that draws in 2 cubic meters of water per hour and an outlet pipe that drains 5 cubic meters per hour. The pool has a total volume of 100 cubic meters. Now the pool is full. Turn on both pipes simultaneously, and you'll know the answer. In the end, it's nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. It's just bringing a problem that should have surfaced ten thousand years ago to the present."
Upon hearing this, Di Qiuer and Na'er both calculated that the pool could not be filled; on the contrary, it would leak out completely.
But Yin Hongye didn't say what she was going to say next. They also knew that they needed to replenish the water from other places. The size of the pool was equivalent to that of Soul Master, and the water was equivalent to the demand for Soul Ring.
Beyond the Heavenly Screen Star Dou Forest.
On the Lake of Life during the first era of Douluo I, the Silver Dragon King had just raised his head from his slumber, his Violet Eyes reflecting the scene of the Heavenly Screen.
She didn't speak, but the once calm Lake of Life suddenly rippled with fine waves, and an invisible killing intent quietly swept by.
She understood that the Soul Spirit was a slow poison.
It may seem like humanity is helping the Soul Beast, but in reality, it's accelerating Soul Beast demise. The more greedy humanity becomes, the faster this demise will be.
Standing by the lake, Bi Ji's eyes were filled with anger. "The Spirit Pagoda is indeed a bad thing. It calls itself a symbiotic relationship between Soul Spirit, but in reality, it treats Soul Beast like commodities, displaying them on a shelf for people to choose from."
Zi JI sneered, "When have humans ever taken us seriously? Their cultivation speed is several times that of us."
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was sitting on Xiong Jun's buttocks, its body covered in claw marks, clearly having been beaten up by Xiong Jun.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was already on its last legs.
The Metal of Life inside the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's stomach hadn't been extracted yet. Xiong Jun rubbed his claws against the turtle's shell, wanting to see how long the thing could hold out.
Obviously, they're waiting for Di Tian to return; there's still someone they haven't fought yet.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay beside him, its little golden head tilting back and forth, staring blankly at the Heavenly Screen, clearly not having figured it out yet.
During the Douluo Continent II: The Unrivaled Tang Clan era, another Lake of Life.
The Silver Dragon King, Bi Ji, and Zi JI all had icy gazes as they repeated Huo Yuhao's name over and over again, their eyes burning with hatred.
If Huo Yuhao were to appear in front of them the next moment, he would definitely be torn to pieces.
This Soul Spirit isn't saving the Soul Beast; it's clearly digging a grave for the Soul Beast Clan.
Of course, this is why Huo Yuhao did not perfect the Soul Spirit System.
Electrolux's initial concept for Soul Spirit was that Soul Spirit could be passed down through generations, even among ordinary people, and that Soul Spirit could become stronger and stronger.
The two Di Tian, from different eras, listened to the function of the Soul Spirit and the operation of the Spirit Pagoda, their faces darkening completely disappearing into the darkness.
Only a pair of golden light bulbs remained, gleaming brightly.
At that moment, in the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye pointed to the wilted Earth Dragon Golden Melon in the container and looked at Yuanen Yehui: "Are you confident? If not, wait until you reach the seventh ring before considering it."
Yuanen Yehui glanced at the yellowish-brown halo, shook his head without hesitation, and said, "Let me reach level 40 first. It's a bit early to think about these things."
"Alright, then keep it for now." Yin Hongye didn't try to persuade her further. "Anyway, it's yours. Just tell me when you want to make a contract. It's just a matter of threatening her a couple of times. If you fail, time will flow backward."
Mu Hongchen tapped the list beside him. "What about the rest? Forget it, apart from the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the others are basically useless."
He scoffed at the other Soul Spirit; to be precise, of all these Immortal Herb, only the two growing in the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well were useful.
This is why Mu Ye only took the Immortal Herb and left. These Soul Spirit Soul Spirit useless; even after 100,000 years, they won't improve at all.
"Just give these Soul Spirit to those with suitable main attributes." Yin Hongye smiled calmly, casually putting away the Soul Bone of these Soul Spirit. "They won't die anyway."
"Let's go. We're going to the Southern Family's accounts tomorrow! I suspect there's something wrong with their tax revenue."
