Only then did Yue Guan jump off the Gui Mei's back.
But after landing, he remained standing in front of the Gui Mei, the two of them very close together.
Yue Guan raised her hand and patted Gui Mei's chest, her fingertips lightly brushing across his clothes. Then she turned and walked to the table, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Gui Mei.
The next two weeks.
Bibi Dong did fulfill her duties as a teacher.
She spent time every day teaching Gui Yuan how to use Soul Skill without displaying his Soul Ring.
This skill is difficult for even high-level Soul Master to master, but Bibi Dong believed in Gui Yuan's comprehension and his control over Soul Power.
"When you attempt to unleash Soul Skill, use the Netherworld Attribute of your Second Martial Soul to cover the aura of the surrounding Soul Ring."
Bibi Dong stood before Gui Yuan and said calmly, " The Netherworld Power inherently possesses the characteristic of concealment. If used well, others may not even be able to detect that you are circulating your Soul Power."
Gui Yuan closed his eyes and tried several times.
It didn't go smoothly at first; when the Netherworld Power covered the Soul Ring, there would always be fluctuations, like water and oil being forcibly mixed together.
"Don't rush," Bibi Dong said calmly, "Slowly sense the balance between the two forces."
Ten days later.
Gui Yuan finally grasped the basics of this technique.
He can temporarily conceal his Soul Ring under the cover of Netherworld Power, although it can only last for a few seconds, it is already much stronger than at the beginning.
That evening, while he was practicing in the garden, a thought suddenly popped into his head.
Since the Netherworld Attribute of the Second Martial Soul can be used to hide the Soul Ring, can the Darkin Attribute of the Darkin Bow be used instead?
With a thought, the Darkin Bow in his Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly, and a wisp of Darkin Aura seeped out from between his brows, thinly covering his body.
The feeling was completely different from the Netherworld Power; it was heavier, colder, and more like an invisible shadow covering the panel.
He attempted to unleash his Soul Skill, and the Soul Ring beneath him should have appeared, but it was suppressed the moment the Darkin Aura enveloped him.
The Soul Skill was successfully released, but the Soul Ring did not appear.
"It worked?"
Gui Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
Bibi Dong watched from the side, a rare hint of admiration appearing on her face. "Your artifact is truly useful. Using it to conceal Soul Ring is even more effective than using Netherworld Power."
Gui Yuan withdrew his Darkin Aura and smiled, "It is indeed quite useful."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment and said, "If you have time later, perhaps you could explore other uses for this artifact."
"All you can do now is draw a bow and shoot arrows; you haven't even mastered the most basic techniques."
Gui Yuan nodded.
Bibi Dong seemed to suddenly remember something. "It's just a bit of a pity that one of the worshippers in the Worship Hall also uses a bow and arrow Martial Soul."
"However, all seven members of the Worship Hall went to the Far North recently, otherwise he could have taught you some basic usage."
Gui Yuan knew who Bibi Dong was referring to: Light Feather Douluo.
However, he was not in a hurry. He was only at the Soul Ancestor, and his Soul Power reserves were insufficient to support his use of the Darkin Bow for an extended period of time.
It's not too late to start practicing when you reach the Soul King or Soul Emperor level.
"It's alright, teacher, we'll talk about it when he gets back," Gui Yuan said.
Bibi Dong said no more, "Alright, then you continue practicing, I'll go back now."
at the same time.
Thirty miles outside the Far North.
The wind and snow howled, and the world was a vast expanse of white.
The ground was covered with a layer of ice several meters thick, and the cold wind, carrying ice shards, stung our faces like knives.
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but ice and snow, with only a few withered trees, twisted and frozen, occasionally peeking out their branches from the snowdrifts.
In such an environment, an ordinary person would suffer frostbite after staying for a short time.
Even skilled Soul Master need to constantly circulate their Soul Power to resist the severe cold.
Qian Daoliu, accompanied by six retainers, entered a small tavern.
The tavern was small, built of rough wood, with a sign hanging at the entrance that was so weathered by wind and snow that the writing was almost illegible.
A roaring fire burned inside the house, radiating warmth.
Qian Daoliu seven companions sat around a long table and ordered a pot of warm wine.
After a few cups of hot wine, Qian Daoliu did not rush on his way, but quietly listened to the conversations of the mercenary groups around him.
There were three or four tables of people sitting in the tavern, all of whom were mercenary groups preparing to venture into the Far North.
They were wrapped in thick fur coats, with weapons hanging at their waists.
"Have you heard? Mirror Shadow Beast have been spotted in the Frozen Forest lately."
A bearded mercenary lowered his voice and said, "My cousin's teammate saw it with his own eyes a few days ago; it had a cultivation level of around 20,000 years."
" Mirror Shadow Beast?" The person opposite frowned. "Aren't those things incredibly rare? How come they've suddenly appeared?"
"Who knows? But catching them won't be easy."
Qian Daoliu held his wine cup, his gaze fixed on the person who had spoken, but he remained silent.
The Golden Crocodile leaned closer and whispered, "Big brother, the Mirror Shadow Beast has already sent word as soon as it arrived."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "No rush, listen to the rest first."
Azure Luan sat by the window, wrapped her long robe tighter around herself, and muttered a complaint, "This godforsaken place is freezing."
The Jiang Mo sat opposite him, holding a cup of hot wine in his hands. "You always look so Bingbing, are you afraid of the cold?"
Azure Luan glanced at him. "I'm called aloof and handsome. In this godforsaken place, I doubt only that old bastard Guang Ling would like it."
Guang Ling said, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here. Is it really okay for me to say that?"
Qian Daoliu smiled and said, "That's enough, let's go."
The seven people got up and left the tavern, stepping back into the snowstorm.
The outer edge of the Far North is a vast, Frozen Forest.
The trees here are all covered in ice and snow, with long icicles hanging from their branches, making a soft clanging sound in the wind.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, which crunched underfoot.
Golden Crocodile walked beside Qian Daoliu: "Brother, shall we go check out the Frozen Forest now?"
"Hmm." Qian Daoliu walked at the front, his steps steady. "That mercenary just now said that Mirror Shadow Beast have appeared in the Frozen Forest. Let's go check it out first."
"Then we'll go check out the Far North Ice Plains in the Core Zone."
The temperature inside the Frozen Forest was even lower than outside; the breath exhaled quickly frosted off on my eyelashes, and I sank into the snow with every step.
After tracking for several days, the seven finally spotted a Mirror Shadow Beast deep within the Frozen Forest.
The Soul Beast was entirely silver-gray, its fur as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the luster of the surrounding ice and snow.
It wasn't very big, about three meters long, and was resting under a giant, Ice Seal tree.
Guang Ling observed from a distance for a moment. "It's indeed as those mercenary groups said, 20,000 years old, it's a bit of a pity."
Golden Crocodile shook his head. "The age is too young, that kid probably won't be interested."
Qian Daoliu thought for a moment, then raised his right hand, a wisp of golden light condensing at his fingertips, which shot silently towards the Mirror Shadow Beast like a fine needle.
The light fell on the back of its neck, turning into a tiny golden mark.
