The Ten-Thousand-Year Holy Light White Tiger

"All right, there's no need to rush so much."

"With my current strength, I'm confident enough to win the championship even without your help."

Seeing Qian Renxue act as soon as she made up her mind, Jiang Li saw nothing wrong with it.

This was fine, too. He could take this opportunity to test some of his conjectures.

He could also have Qian Renxue go back and ask how the deciphering of the Teleportation Array was progressing, and bring back some other materials along the way to round out his research.

A competition that many felt they had to fight tooth and nail in for a better result was, to Jiang Li, a rare bit of leisure and entertainment right now.

Once the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament ended, his real life in a Demon Hunt Squad would begin, and the dangers he faced then would be even greater.

Before that, he had better get the cultivation method and the teleportation array's programming sorted out as soon as possible.

"All right, I'll head back first."

"If you need anything, summon me right away."

Qian Renxue hesitated no longer and got moving.

She had been away for so long that she wanted to return to Spirit Hall for a look, too.

Soon afterward, Qian Renxue left.

Jiang Li continued working on his other research.

The following afternoon, his teacher came to see him.

"Li, I've already sounded out Grandmaster Nock. There shouldn't be much of a problem."

Ye Hua found Jiang Li and explained in detail how he had sounded the man out.

When the Equipment Master named Nock heard that they wanted to forge equipment from bones excavated from the Ancient Ruins, and that the equipment would even come with its own skills, he immediately declared excitedly that he would help make it even if they didn't have enough money.

"Teacher, since you've already confirmed it, just give him this Soul Bone and the specifications for forging it."

"Of course, if that Grandmaster feels anything is unsuitable, he can make changes himself."

"I have other things to do."

Since his teacher had already checked, Jiang Li no longer had any hesitation.

He trusted his teacher a great deal.

"By the way, Teacher, have you ever thought about changing your mount?"

Only as Ye Hua was about to leave with the Soul Bone did Jiang Li ask.

It was Qian Renxue's matter yesterday that had reminded him of this.

His teacher's mount truly had rather poor bloodline potential.

Its chances of breaking through again were very slim.

Once his teacher's cultivation rose higher in the future, this mount would no longer be much use.

He could indeed use an Immortal Herb to help his teacher's mount improve and transform, but he really couldn't bear to part with one.

He was willing to spend it on his teacher, but not so willing to spend it on his teacher's mount.

That was why he made this suggestion.

"Li, I know you mean well, but back when I was at my most helpless, he landed on my shoulder and chose me."

"All these years, he's protected me without complaint, no matter the hardship. Without him, I would never have made it this far."

"Even if his cultivation stays a little lower in the future, I can accept that. At worst, I'll protect him."

Ye Hua smiled calmly and rejected the suggestion.

To him, his mount was already far more than just a mount. He was a brother who had shared life and death with him, the one most worthy of his trust.

"Teacher, I was too presumptuous."

Jiang Li also knew that his suggestion had been too rash.

It really had been inappropriate.

Since having his teacher change mounts wouldn't work, he would use Immortal Herbs to change things instead.

He couldn't bear to part with an immortal-grade herb, but Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine was still an option.

However, whether it was an Immortal Herb or Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, its ability to improve a Magical Beast's enormous body would still be limited.

Once Qian Renxue returned, he would let her know, then get some Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine for his teacher's mount. After all, strictly speaking, these things still belonged to Qian Renxue.

As for how far his teacher's mount could ultimately go, they would see when the time came.

Meanwhile, after returning to the Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue immediately found her grandfather and asked him to find the largest Soul Tool in Spirit Hall that could store living things.

She also took Light Feather Douluo with her to capture the Soul Beasts she needed.

Spirit Hall's resources were indeed considerable. Even Storage Soul Tools capable of holding living things were fairly plentiful, but their space was all very limited.

"Xiao Xue, it isn't impossible to fit a dragon-type Soul Beast into this space, but its age would have to stay below a thousand years. We'd also have to look for small dragon-type Soul Beasts, which aren't easy to find."

"But if we switch to a tiger-type Soul Beast, it would be just right."

"I happen to know where a ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger is hiding. That fellow's size would be a perfect fit."

Light Feather Douluo was very curious about what Qian Renxue intended to do.

But he was still quite interested in something this intriguing.

"Then find that ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger first. I'll take it back for now."

"Once I've taken it back, Grandpa Guang Ling, please help me look for suitable Soul Beasts when you have time. Once the pills refined from Immortal Herbs are successfully made, you'll be the first person I think of."

After hearing Light Feather Douluo's suggestion, Qian Renxue thought it was quite good.

Finding a dragon-type Soul Beast that met the requirements really wasn't easy.

It would take some time.

Naturally, she was in such a hurry because she didn't want to miss watching the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition.

"All right, then. I'll put in some extra legwork."

Faced with Qian Renxue's request for help, Guang Ling really couldn't refuse.

Although he didn't know what Qian Renxue had experienced on the Holy Demon Continent, Guang Ling could clearly feel that she had changed completely.

She no longer gave off that gloomy, icy feeling she once had, utterly lacking the warmth and comfort an Angel Martial Soul should have.

Now, Qian Renxue was becoming more and more like Qian Daoliu in his younger days.

Moreover, he could sense that Qian Renxue lacked Qian Daoliu's rigidity while also possessing his decisiveness in matters of life and death.

Following a future leader like this might be a good choice.

Soon, with Guang Ling leading the way, they found the place where that Holy Light White Tiger lived.

Qian Renxue did not show herself. Instead, she had Guang Ling capture it alive and put it into the Storage Soul Tool.

Naturally, Qian Renxue had her own little considerations in doing this.

According to Jiang Li, he wanted Soul Beasts brought over not just for research, but also to see whether he could raise them into mounts.

Showing herself to capture it might make it resent her.

So she was better off keeping out of sight.

Having successfully obtained the ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger she needed, whose size was just right to fit inside the Storage Soul Tool, Qian Renxue was delighted. Then she returned straight to the Holy Demon Continent.

She didn't linger on the Douluo Continent at all.

"Wait, she's leaving already?"

Watching Qian Renxue rush off like that, Light Feather Douluo was stunned.

For a moment, he began to worry.

How was he supposed to explain this to his eldest brother when he returned?

He knew that his eldest brother had been delighted to learn Xue'er was back and had wanted to spend some good time with her.

Who would have thought she would leave in the blink of an eye?
