A Light Yellow spirit ring hovered over the first level of the Profound Yellow Small Tower.

Ever since Ning Bei summoned his Martial Soul, the Red Cloud Elk had not taken its eyes off him, staring intently at the Pill Pagoda in his hand.

It seemed to have forgotten the fear brought on by the two Titled Douluo beside it, and it stopped trembling.

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement at the sight. The Red Cloud Elk, naturally fearful of humans, had actually forgotten its fear.

Just how great was the attraction of this Pill Pagoda to it?

After a while, an even more astonishing scene appeared before everyone.

The Red Cloud Elk slowly stood up, came before Ning Bei, and sniffed the Pill Pagoda in his hand. Its face revealed a humanlike expression of pleasure.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who had carefully remained on guard ever since the elk stood up, also relaxed their vigilance.

Ning Bei looked at the Red Cloud Elk's lecherous expression, feeling extremely strange.

"What is this? Its waist doesn't ache anymore, and its legs aren't trembling anymore? Does my Pill Pagoda also have kidney-tonic functions?"

The little elk acted as if no one else existed, sniffing the Pill Pagoda and occasionally rubbing its face against it.

A few minutes later, it slowly lay down on the ground and closed its eyes in satisfaction.

"??? It fell asleep?"

"I think so."

"This doesn't show the Pill Pagoda's effects at all. We only know that soul beasts seem to like it a lot."

Everyone looked at the sleeping little elk speechlessly, chattering as they voiced their opinions.

Only Chen Xin remained silent at the side, his eyes fixed firmly on the little elk.

After a while, a trace of shock appeared in his eyes.

"The Red Cloud Elk's cultivation seems to have increased slightly. Although the increase is extremely weak, it really has gone up."

"What?"

Everyone's bodies shook violently when they heard this, and they all used their Spiritual Power to sense the elk's cultivation.

"Old Bonehead, are you sure you didn't sense wrong? Why didn't I notice any Change?"

Gu Rong stared for several minutes without sensing any Change at all, suspecting that Chen Xin was playing a prank on him.

"Old Bonehead, do you think I would joke about something this important?"

"The Red Cloud Elk's cultivation did indeed increase slightly just now, but it seems to have stopped now."

Gu Rong understood that Sword Grandfather would not deceive everyone over something concerning the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He fell silent and turned to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment before passing the question to Ning Bei.

"Bei Er, what do you think?"

"What do I think? I'm standing here and looking."

Ever since the little elk began sniffing the tower, Ning Bei had been observing its Change. Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, he muttered inwardly before giving his own opinion.

"Sword Grandfather is right. After obtaining the Second Spirit Ring, my Pill Pagoda not only gained the ability to create different Elixirs, but also naturally produces Alchemy Fragrance. This Alchemy Fragrance seems capable of increasing a soul beast's cultivation."

"And..."

After pausing for a moment, Ning Bei controlled the first level of the Pill Pagoda to flash once. The little elk before them immediately vanished from everyone's sight.

"And each level of my Pill Pagoda seems to have its own independent space."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes nearly bulged out of his head as he watched the little elk disappear. After all, storage Soul Tools could not store living creatures.

"You—you put the soul beast inside the Pill Pagoda?"

Ning Bei nodded, confirming his guess.

"That's right, Old Dad. I can put them into the Pill Pagoda's space, and I can release them again."

As he spoke, the first level of the Pill Pagoda in his hand flashed with golden light once more. The Red Cloud Elk reappeared before everyone, still sleeping soundly.

Gu Rong thought for a moment before asking doubtfully:

"Does that mean Bei Er will have countless soul beast battle pets in the future?"

Chen Xin's eyes also lit up when he heard Gu Rong's words.

"Old Bonehead is right. Bei Er's Pill Pagoda benefits soul beasts, so they will definitely be willing to live inside it. Over time, these soul beasts will certainly be able to develop feelings for Bei Er." He then raised his own question. "The only thing we don't know is whether the Pill Pagoda benefits soul beasts of every species and every age."

Ning Fengzhi and Ning's Mother nodded after hearing the two men's words.

"Indeed. We must make use of this advantage of Bei Er's Pill Pagoda. Before that, we should find several soul beasts of different species and ages to test it."

Everyone nodded at the same time, agreeing wholeheartedly with Ning Fengzhi. Then they all turned to look at Ning Bei.

Under everyone's deep, expectant gazes, Ning Bei swallowed and took several steps backward.

For some reason, everyone's gazes resembled the way India's Asan from his previous life looked at a Giant Lizard, making them truly intimidating.

And so, Ning Bei began his regular life.

During the day, he controlled the Pill Pagoda and observed the Red Cloud Elk's cultivation progress. At night, he meditated and cultivated to increase his Soul Power.

Several days later, they discovered that the little elk's cultivation had indeed made considerable progress. Gu Rong and Chen Xin set out for the Star Dou Great Forest one after the other, bringing back quite a few soul beasts in succession.

After more than a month of testing, they discovered that Ning Bei's Pill Pagoda currently had a tremendous effect on the cultivation of century-old soul beasts. As their age increased, the effect gradually weakened, becoming negligible for soul beasts over fifteen hundred years old. This also explained why, during the Beast Tide that appeared when the two of them obtained their first Spirit Rings, the strongest soul beasts had only been thousand-year-old ones.

Ning Fengzhi and the others frowned when they learned this information. Soul beasts around a thousand years old could not help Ning Bei much. After all, soul beasts around fifteen hundred years old were only equivalent to low-tier Soul Elder battle strength, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had as many Soul Elders of this level as it wanted.

Then they relaxed again. Ning Bei was only a small Soul Master for now. There was no reason that as his cultivation increased and he obtained more Spirit Rings, this effect of increasing soul beast cultivation would not grow stronger as well.

After discussing it with Ning Bei, everyone decided to conduct another test after he obtained his Second Spirit Ring. For now, Ning Bei would focus on increasing his Soul Power cultivation and creating Elixirs.

The Elixirs Ning Bei produced while training his soul skills were taken by Ning Fengzhi and sold through the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce under the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Although the current quantity was limited, the Elixirs' effects had earned unanimous praise from the mercenaries.

After all, not every Soul Hunting team could find a suitable Support Soul Master. Even if they did, once they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they still had to split their attention to protect them.

After all, Support Soul Masters basically had no combat ability.

Now that the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce was selling Elixirs, low-level Support Soul Masters were no longer quite so necessary.

When injured or fighting, people could simply take some medicine.

This left the countless ordinary Support Soul Masters grumbling bitterly, crying out that it had become difficult to find teams.

Ning Bei scratched his head awkwardly after hearing about it.

I suppose I've ruined these people's livelihoods too.

He wondered whether, once people learned that he was the one making the Elixirs, he would get hit with bricks whenever he went out.

But Ning Bei had never considered stopping the production of Elixirs.

For one thing, it allowed him to train his control over his Soul Power.

For another, it truly could bring a sum of income to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and that income would gradually increase as his strength grew.
