A Parting Gift! A Strange Parrot!

Inside the master bedroom, Ye Hua, holding a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea, leaned back in his chair, looking at the spirited exchange students in front of him.

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Shi Mo, Shi Mo...

Shui Yue'er stayed close to her older sister, obedient and clingy, while Shi Mo and Shi Mo sat on the far side, still composed.

"You've all worked hard in your cultivation during this time," Ye Hua, setting down his teacup.

Feng Xiaotian quickly shook his head, "Teacher Ye, this is not hard work at all. It's all thanks to the effectiveness of Three-Flavored Study!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Don't make excuses. Even with double the cultivation speed, it's still very difficult to go from Soul Ancestor to Soul Emperor in three years."

"However, your exchange trip is almost over."

"When you get back, attend classes and practice your skills as needed. Don't be lazy."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

... Should we still leave?

Indeed, all good things must come to an end.

But they had already developed a bond through their sparring sessions and were reluctant to leave Three-Flavored Study!

Shi Mo raised his fist, Feng Xiaotian countered with a fist strike.

"However, there's something I need to ask of you." Ye Hua waved his hand, "I'll need your help in promoting the Soul Spirit System."

"No need for deliberate promotion, just focus on Soul Fighting and showcasing your skills. Make sure the second round of exchanges doesn't fizzle out."

"I will always be your teacher. If you have any problems with your cultivation, you can come back here and find me!"

"However, I will be staying in Heaven Dou City for a long time to come!"

Hearing Ye Hua say this, everyone's spirits lifted slightly.

Their academies are all located in Heaven Dou City, so wouldn't they be readily available?

"Don't worry, Teacher Ye, I'll take care of this!" Feng Xiaotian patted his chest. "I'll go back and tell the dean to send someone over to learn from us as soon as possible!"

"I'll talk to my family about it too," Huo Wu said seriously. "Although my father is old-fashioned, he definitely understands things about Soul Spirit."

Shui Bing'er nodded slightly. "I will communicate with the dean of the Skywater Academy."

Ye Hua nodded in satisfaction, "That's good."

He raised his right hand and ran it across the Azure Jade Bracelet.

Suddenly, a pile of high-quality Spirit Bone appeared on the bed.

"These are graduation gifts prepared for you." Ye Hua casually tossed them aside. "Each of you will receive a Thousand-Year Spirit Bone, ranging from three to five thousand years old. Choose the one that suits you best."

Feng Xiaotian gasped, "Teacher Ye..."

"Stop, stop," Ye Hua without even lifting his eyelids. "It must be too valuable again, and you dare not accept it?"

"Take it if you want, I don't need it!"

Tie Xiong kept acquiring Spirit Bone, but almost all the Spirit Bone on the market had already been bought up.

There's no rush to upgrade the Second Soul Ring; giving away some Spirit Bone as encouragement is a good idea.

Everyone wanted to decline, but seeing the look in his eyes, they knew it was no use refusing.

Huo Wu reached out and picked up the fire-attribute leg bone. Her touch warmed, and her Soul Power flowed around it.

Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Shi Mo each selected a suitable Spirit Bone.

But Ye Hua isn't over yet.

He took out three more Spirit Bone, their auras even stronger, and they were clearly Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!

"Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er crossed boundaries to fight and won the arena match; this is an extra reward!"

Feng Xiaotian was stunned. "Teacher Ye, I... I've already taken a piece of your Spirit Bone."

"That was a graduation gift, this is a reward for the arena competition, they're two different things." Without further ado, Ye Hua stuffed the Spirit Bone into his arms.

Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were also forcibly fed.

The most powerful of them all Shui Bing'er: the Torso Bone of a 40,000-year-old Snow Tree Demon King.

Her opponent was the strongest, a Soul Saint, so naturally the reward was the greatest.

Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback. The aura emanating from her Torso Bone resonated perfectly with her Martial Soul!

"Thank you very much, Teacher Ye." Everyone quickly expressed their gratitude.

"Absorb it." Ye Hua quietly spread his spiritual power to Guardian them.

Half an hour later, Feng Xiaotian was the first to open his eyes, and his Soul Power had clearly increased.

The others also gained something; those who hadn't reached the Quasi-Soul Emperor level all broke through to the Quasi-Soul Emperor.

"Alright, next, Tian Meng will take you to obtain the Soul Spirit." Ye Hua summoned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Brother Sky Dream crawled into the Soul Spirit Puppet, saying, "It's too late today, I'll take you tomorrow!"

"Hey, especially you," he patted Shui Bing'er on the shoulder, "I'll find you a 60,000-year-old Frost Wolf, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Shui Yue'er was flattered and overwhelmed. "Thank you, Brother Sky Dream!"

The exchange students filed out, their footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

The master bedroom quieted down. Ye Hua yawned, but then noticed that Shui Bing'er hadn't left.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Hua sat up straight.

Shui Bing'er pursed her lips. "It wasn't me... it was it."

A phantom emerged from the Soul Ring and landed on the windowsill beside it.

The Ice Phoenix Parrot shook its wings and bowed to Ye Hua.

"Oh, what brings you out here?" Ye Hua asked with interest.

The Parrot cleared its throat. "Lord Qilin, I have a favor to ask of you!"

"Explain."

"I haven't been feeling well lately," the Parrot said, raising its claw. "I feel like my soul is weak, and I'm worried it might affect this girl's cultivation. I'd like to ask you to take a look."

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow, not thinking much of it, and released the aura of the Auspicious Beast.

Gold Trial aura enveloped the Parrot, but Ye Hua's brows furrowed even deeper.

After a moment, he regained his composure, his expression somewhat strange.

"Teacher Ye," Shui Bing'er stroked the Parrot, "Is there really something wrong with it? I don't feel anything!"

"You're right," Ye Hua nodded, "This soul is very solid, there's nothing unusual about it."

However, just to be on the safe side, Ye Hua activated [Qilin's Exclusive Skill - Life Healing] to nourish its soul even more fully. "How is it?"

The Parrot's eyes lit up. "Ew! That feels so much better! Thank you, Lord Qilin!"

"But..." the Parrot glanced out the window, "I've recently encountered some problems in my cultivation, and I'd like to ask you for advice."

"When Soul Spirit resonates with its host, will the host's emotional fluctuations affect the Soul Spirit's state?"

"Also, when Soul Spirit autonomously releases Soul Skill, does the Soul Power consumed belong to the host, or...?"

It chattered away, asking questions for a full quarter of an hour.

Ye Hua answered seriously, noticing that it would occasionally look out the window.

"Gah... Gah gah..."

"Qilin's knowledge is indeed superb!"

The Ice Phoenix Parrot couldn't bring itself to ask any more questions.

Ye Hua remained silent. "If you have a problem, you can speak frankly. Why beat around the bush?"

"Oh, this..."

The Parrot was embarrassed; it couldn't say anything!

If word gets out, his plan will fall through.

They stared at each other, and the room fell silent.

Just as the Parrot was about to make up another question to stall for time, the master bedroom door was suddenly pushed open!

Thump!

Shui Yue'er stumbled in, her cheeks flushed crimson. "Sister... it's hot... so hot..."

Shui Bing'er's expression changed drastically. She rushed forward and helped her younger sister to the bed.

"Yue'er? Yue'er, how are you!" Shui Bing'er frantically checked her sister's pulse, only to find her heart beating extremely fast.

"What's going on?" Ye Hua thought Shui Yue'er had been drugged and wondered who would dare to be so bold in the Crystal Palace.

But when he quickly stepped forward and checked the situation, he shook his head slightly, "No poisoning, no external injuries, it's purely due to his abilities."

"Shui Yue'er, tell the truth, did you eat some herbs you don't recognize and that caused the problem?"

"No," Shui Yue'er's eyes were unfocused, "I just drank the milk tea that Snowy Owl gave me?"

"Huh?" Ye Hua was stunned.

Milk tea?!

Snowy Owl for you?

Is it something you can buy, or can it communicate with humans?

But the next second, Ye Hua sensed something was amiss.

"Parrot, tell me, did you do it?!"
