The Treatment of a Spirit Pagoda Core Disciple

After venting her anger, the Ice Empress looked at Heavenly Dream Elder Brother and Ice Silkworm Younger Brother hiding in the corner and gave a cold snort inwardly. She ignored them and asked Huo Yuhao:

"Yuhao, do you need me to return your origin to you through a soul ring?"

Before Human Form Re-cultivation, they had already anticipated this situation, so Huo Yuhao had handed most of his origin to the various soul spirits for safekeeping. When they gave Huo Yuhao soul rings, they would return his origin.

Since Huo Yuhao had awakened her now, she assumed he needed her to provide a soul ring.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "No need. Old Yi suggested that I absorb those origins in the future to break through to Level 100, and I think that's best too. After all, even starting over, I still have Innate Full Soul Power. My cultivation speed in the early stages won't be slow, so there's no need to waste those origins."

"Break through to Level 100?"

The Ice Empress hesitated before saying, "Yuhao... don't force yourself. We've already obtained Eternal Life."

In the end, the God Creation Plan had been for Eternal Life. But after Old Yi fully recovered his memories, the path to obtaining Eternal Life had long since opened. There was no need to risk everything to become a god.

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth as he said firmly, "Don't worry. I'm confident."

Seeing this, and knowing his personality, the Ice Empress knew she could not persuade him. She curled her lip. "Fine. I'll add a soul ring for you first... Hm? Yuhao, where's the soul bone I gave you?!"

Just as she was about to add a soul ring for Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress suddenly discovered that the Torso Spirit Bone she had given him before had actually disappeared!

"Uh, have you ever seen a Soul Beast undergoing Human Form Re-cultivation be born with a usable soul bone?"

"But your situation is different from ours. You can't even produce your own soul rings. This isn't Human Form Re-cultivation at all." The Ice Empress's delicate brows knitted tightly. "If you don't have a soul bone, it'll seriously affect your physical qualities, which is bad for your re-cultivation."

"Ice Empress, have you forgotten? I still have the Blade of Life Protection."

The Ice Empress froze, then immediately understood.

She had actually forgotten that divine tool.

The Blade of Life Protection was a carving knife made from Gold of Life. It could be called a divine tool in the field of healing, and Huo Yuhao had obtained it from an auction house.

Because it had once been injected with evil thoughts and curses, it had turned into the Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade and gained the reputation of Master Devouring, so no one had ever dared to buy it. Fortunately, Old Yi had the ability to cleanse those filthy things, allowing Huo Yuhao to obtain it.

With the Blade of Life Protection present, as long as Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea did not die, no matter how severe his injuries were, the Blade of Life Watch would use Life Force to help Yuhao recover.

Moreover, under the nourishment of the Blade of Life Watch, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power improvement speed would increase threefold, and his body would also become stronger and stronger. It could be called a Cultivation Cheat Device. (Because it had not absorbed other Gold of Life, it had not transformed into the Sword of Life.)

At first, Yuhao had obtained it to heal Old Yi's divine sense, and he had not used it much himself, which was why the Ice Empress had nearly forgotten this carving knife.

"But that's a separate matter."

The Ice Empress muttered, "You're really open-minded. A Hundred Thousand Years soul bone—how many people beg for one and never get it? But you? You went and lost it through re-cultivation."

"...So in the Ice Empress's eyes, I'm that unreliable?"

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. "Sense your own origin. The soul bones were sealed onto you along with my origin by me and Old Yi."

A Soul Beast undergoing Human Form Re-cultivation would not come with a usable soul bone. Under circumstances where he did not know what would happen during re-cultivation, Huo Yuhao naturally would not take risks.

But soul bones were different from objects like the Blade of Life Protection. Taking them out rashly would only damage his cultivation. In the end, Old Yi had provided a method, sealing them together with his origin onto the three soul spirits aside from Heavenly Dream, two soul bones per soul spirit.

After all, Old Yi was a ruthless man capable of taking out a heart and reviving Long Haochen. He stated that preserving a few soul bones was not difficult at all.

"You should've said so earlier." With Huo Yuhao's reminder, the Ice Empress finally noticed something unusual and secretly rolled her eyes at him. At the same time, realization dawned on her. "These soul bones can merge with you at any time, right?"

"That's right, but there's no rush. Given my current situation, it isn't suitable for me to raise my soul power too much in a short period of time."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he was just about to turn the book in his hands to the next page when his Spiritual Detection suddenly saw the scene downstairs. He got up and headed to the first floor.

Anya had just pressed the doorbell when she saw Huo Yuhao open the door and walk out. She was somewhat surprised.

"Yuhao, are you going out?"

"No. I just felt you were almost here, so I opened the door for you."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Sister Anya, you don't have to come every day."

Although he had refused Hua Yichen's plan to arrange someone to take care of him, in its place, Anya came to see him every day, looking as if she was worried he would suddenly run off.

There was also a Soul Douluo secretly watching over his safety.

Clearly, these were all arrangements made by Hua Yichen.

Anya revealed her sweetest smile. "Yuhao, you're my livelihood. If I don't keep an eye on you, and one day you run off, my livelihood will be smashed."

She had been promoted, from a Spirit Master to a Soul Spirit Research Intern, with a part-time... or rather, primary duty—being half of Huo Yuhao's guardian.

It was probably because the higher-ups felt that since she had helped Huo Yuhao awaken his Martial Soul, he would be closer to her, so they arranged it this way. Anya did not refuse either. Building a good relationship with a Heaven's Favored Son who had yet to grow up could benefit her for life.

Besides, compared to those little brats, Huo Yuhao was quiet and mature, making him quite easy to get along with.

"Besides, I came today for proper business. This is what the Tower Master asked me to bring you."

Anya took out a ring and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "This is a Storage Ring. It has fifty cubic meters of storage space. Inside are cultivation resources the Tower Master asked me to pass on to you, as well as some Soul Tools."

Huo Yuhao took the ring and swept it with his Spiritual Power. When he saw the things inside, he raised his brows in surprise.

Inside the Storage Ring Anya had brought were many cultivation resources, such as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for strengthening the body, and pills for increasing soul power. In addition, there was an invitation card and a Soul Tool Communicator inside the ring. The communicator already had the contact information of Hua Yichen, Anya, and other Spirit Pagoda personnel stored within it.

Among these things, Huo Yuhao's gaze first landed on four pills.

Three Spirit Ascension Pills, and one Soul Ascension Pill.

Soul Ascension Pills had existed ten thousand years ago. Huo Yuhao even had the pill formula. It could raise a Level 30 soul master's soul power by one level. Converted to below Level Twenty, it could probably raise soul power by three levels. Each soul master could only take one.

As for the Spirit Ascension Pill...

"A pill that directly increased a Soul Spirit's age, provided only to the Spirit Pagoda's internal core members. One pill could increase a Soul Spirit's age by one hundred years."

Looking at the instructions placed together with the Spirit Ascension Pill, Huo Yuhao rubbed the spot between his brows.

Something like the Spirit Ascension Platform was ultimately aimed at other factions. If the Spirit Pagoda's internal core members wanted to increase their Soul Spirits' ages, there was clearly an easier method. To them, the Spirit Ascension Platform was more of a training tool.

Good things could not possibly be saved for others. Every faction was the same.

After reading about the pill he was most interested in, Huo Yuhao picked up the invitation and looked it over.

It was an invitation to the East Sea Auction, scheduled for one month later. There was also an Auction Item Manual attached inside, and Huo Yuhao saw Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue on the second-to-last page.

Whale glue was a special substance produced in the brains of whale-type Soul Beasts. It had an excellent nourishing effect on soul masters, strengthening the body, muscles, bones, and the endurance of the meridians.

Thousand Year Whale Glue of excellent quality could raise a soul master's Soul Ring Endurance Limit by five hundred years. The effect of Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue could be imagined.

Together with the three Spirit Ascension Pills, Hua Yichen's meaning could not have been more obvious.

After all, in Hua Yichen's eyes, his first Soul Spirit was a seven-hundred-year Ice Silkworm.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "A faction really is different from an academy, after all."

The Spirit Pagoda was a faction, fundamentally different in nature from Shrek Academy. When it came to nurturing the geniuses of its own faction, it naturally spared no effort!

After ten thousand years, he had finally gotten a taste of how a genius was treated.

With these, he could make the boost from absorbing the Ice Empress's Soul Ring and Soul Bone seem not quite so unreasonable.
