Small Beast Tide

Ning Bei sensed his Soul Power. After successfully absorbing the spirit ring, his Soul Power Level had reached Level 12. He immediately summoned his Martial Soul and used his First Spirit Skill. The Light Yellow spirit ring on the Pill Pagoda suddenly shone brightly. A wave of Alchemy Fragrance drifted past, and three pills—red, green, and blue—appeared in his hand.

Looking at the three different pills in his hand, Ning Bei was ecstatic.

It seems I really can use one spirit ring in multiple ways. All first-grade Elixirs can be refined through the Pill Pagoda.

"Sword Grandfather, these are the three pills made by my First Spirit Skill. They can respectively restore Soul Power, heal injuries, and increase strength for a period of time."

After hearing Ning Bei's words, Chen Xin clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Bei Er, your Martial Soul is truly miraculous. Other people's First Spirit Skills only have one use, but your Pill Pagoda can produce Elixirs with many different effects."

As he spoke, he took the pills from Ning Bei's hand, used Soul Power to slice open his finger, and let blood immediately flow out. He then swallowed the green Wound Recovery Pill, which represented injury recovery.

The two of them watched the wound on Chen Xin's hand. They saw it slowly begin to heal.

"Hmm, it has quite an impressive healing effect."

Chen Xin then tested the effects of the other two pills in turn. The blue Spring Return Pill could increase the speed of Soul Power recovery by 20%, while the red Power Storage Pill could increase strength by 20%.

"Bei Er, your Martial Soul is practically giving you two additional auxiliary abilities compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. How much does it cost to produce these pills?"

Chen Xin praised him before asking about the consumption of his Soul Skill.

After sensing the Soul Power he had left, Ning Bei said to Chen Xin:

"With my current cultivation, I can probably produce a total of ten pills of various kinds. The three pills just now consumed 30% of my Soul Power. If the recovery effect of the Spring Return Pill is included, I should be able to make about twelve."

"Good! You've only just become a Soul Master, yet you already have such efficiency. Once your cultivation improves, you should be able to mass-produce these pills. Because of you, the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will become even brighter."

Hearing Chen Xin's praise, Ning Bei bashfully scratched his head.

"Not at all. Sword Grandfather is the Sect's pillar. We all have a bright future."

Just as the two were praising each other, the woods beside them began to rustle. Three wolf-type Soul Beasts appeared before them.

Just as Chen Xin was preparing to release his aura to intimidate the Soul Beasts, another bear-type Soul Beast crawled out of the grass on the other side.

Slowly, leopard-type Soul Beasts, wild boar Soul Beasts, and monkey Soul Beasts surged toward them like a wave. The strongest among them had already reached the thousand-year level.

"Sword Grandfather, what's going on? Did we raid a beast nest? That doesn't seem right either. There are deer here too. Don't tell me carnivorous and herbivorous Soul Beasts all live in the same nest?"

Seeing countless Soul Beasts surging toward them, Ning Bei unconsciously moved closer to Chen Xin.

"This isn't right. In all my years, I've never seen anything like this. Could it be..."

Chen Xin had never encountered such a situation in all his years. He glanced at the Pill Pagoda in Ning Bei's hand, seemingly forming a suspicion in his mind.

"Bei Er, try putting away your Martial Soul."

Ning Bei's eyes lit up. He seemed to understand Chen Xin's idea as well. He immediately flipped his right hand, and the Pill Pagoda vanished from his grasp.

The surrounding Soul Beasts became violent the moment they saw the Pill Pagoda disappear. Their eyes turned blood-red, as if they would pounce on the two of them the next moment.

"Not good. Let's go."

Chen Xin grabbed Ning Bei by the shoulder, summoned the Seven Kill Sword, and quickly rushed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Only hundreds of Soul Beasts remained behind, howling on the spot as if they had lost something important.

After flying for several minutes, the two arrived at an uninhabited mountain range. Chen Xin descended and set Ning Bei down.

"Bei Er, it seems your Martial Soul still has some special features that haven't been discovered."

Ning Bei thought about the Soul Beasts' reactions after he put away the Pill Pagoda.

"My Pill Pagoda seems to have an unusual attraction for those Soul Beasts. As for what it can bring them, we don't know yet."

Chen Xin stroked his chin and nodded at Ning Bei.

"That's right. Judging from those Soul Beasts' reactions, that does seem to be the case. Let's go back first and discuss what to do with Fengzhi. At worst, I'll make another trip and bring back a Soul Beast to test it."

"Okay, Sword Grandfather. Let's go back."

They said nothing along the way. Chen Xin flew extremely quickly, and several hours later, the buildings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came into view.

Following Chen Xin, he arrived at the Council Hall, where they met Ning Fengzhi, who was handling Sect affairs.

Ning Fengzhi looked up when he saw the two enter and was immediately surprised.

"So soon? How did it go, Uncle Chen? Did everything go smoothly?"

Chen Xin recounted what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest. When he described the effects of Ning Bei's Soul Skill and the Beast Tide, Ning Fengzhi was also astonished.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment before looking at Ning Bei.

"So, Bei Er's Martial Soul belongs to the category of super auxiliary Martial Souls. It can actually use one spirit ring in multiple ways, and it seems to possess special abilities as well."

"How about this, Uncle Chen? I'll send someone to the Star Dou Forest to capture a hundred-year Soul Beast and bring it back. We can see exactly what's so miraculous about Bei Er's Pill Pagoda."

After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Chen Xin waved his hand.

"There's no need for so much trouble. I'll go there now. I also want to know what the Pill Pagoda does."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.

What a man who moves like the wind.

Only the father and son remained, staring at each other with wide eyes. They communicated silently through their gazes.

"What are you looking at?"

"What's it to you?"

"Keep staring and see what happens."

"I'm your father. What's wrong with taking a look?"

"Nothing. Go ahead."

Ning Fengzhi also sent someone to notify Ning's Mother and Gu Rong to come to the Council Hall. After hearing about the Soul Skill of Ning Bei's Pill Pagoda, the two were delighted as well, exclaiming that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely rise to glory in the future. At the same time, they were curious about the Pill Pagoda's special ability.

After Ning's Mother arrived, Ning Bei returned to his VIP seat. Ever since awakening the Pill Pagoda with Innate Full Soul Power, it had also come with a massage service, allowing Ning Bei to thoroughly experience the feeling of having a treasure in his palm.

While several people chatted about the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tool Douluo Chen Xin had already completed his round trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. A hundred-year Deer-type Soul Beast appeared before everyone. Under the pressure of the auras of two Titled Douluo, its four limbs went limp, and it trembled on the ground.

"This is a Red Cloud Elk. It's a very gentle kind of Soul Beast. When it sees people, it only runs away, so it won't hurt Bei Er during the test."

Everyone nodded after hearing Chen Xin's words. They then agreed to turn their gazes toward Ning Bei, who was nestled in Ning's Mother's arms with a look of enjoyment.

"Go for it!"

Ning Bei curled his lips.

"What do you mean, 'go for it'? You're making it sound like I'm about to do something to this little deer. You're all elders—could you watch your wording?"

He thought this inwardly, but still climbed down from Ning's Mother and came to the side of the elk.

He raised his right hand slightly, and the Pill Pagoda was released.
