Gui Yuan simply smiled and said nothing in response to Hu Liena's complaints.
After all, he's cheating, so there's no comparison.
Hu Liena's current cultivation speed is already much faster than in the original story, and she hasn't consumed any Immortal Herb, otherwise her cultivation speed would be at least 20% or 30% faster.
She possesses innate level nine talent, which is top-tier even in the Douluo Continent.
The Immortal Herb had some effect on her, but not an exaggerated one.
The upper limit of cultivation speed in this world is basically innate level 10 Soul Power.
Although Qian Renxue is at the 20th level of the Innate Realm, her cultivation speed is actually similar to that of someone at the 10th level. Her advantage lies in starting 10 levels ahead of others.
Gui Yuan does indeed possess Immortal Herb suitable for Hu Liena, but he hasn't found a suitable opportunity to give it to her.
With Hu Liena's talent and the resources of the Spirit Hall, she won't encounter any obstacles in her early to mid-stage cultivation.
For her, the true purpose of the Immortal Herb was to raise the ceiling of her future cultivation.
We just need to find a suitable opportunity for her to absorb it later.
Gui Yuan has never been the type to not share his resources. If it weren't for his teacher Hai's concern for Yu Xiaogang, he would have already given up the Immortal Herb he possessed.
Now, what he needs to do is to speed up the thawing of the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
He didn't expect Bibi Dong to completely acknowledge Qian Renxue as her daughter, but he hoped that Bibi Dong's maternal love for Qian Renxue could be revealed at least a little.
In addition, she continued to increase her importance in Bibi Dong's heart in preparation for meeting Yu Xiaogang in the future.
After all, Yu Xiaogang is now Tang San's teacher, and sooner or later he will stand on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall, which would make them the enemies of Gui Yuan.
Gui Yuan actually knows that Bibi Dong doesn't have much love for Yu Xiaogang anymore. There are two reasons why she is so obsessed with him.
First, she was distorted by the Rakshasa Divine Power; second, her love for Yu Xiaogang turned into hatred. Why would Yu Xiaogang fall in love with Liu Erlong again after leaving the Spirit Hall?
Bibi Dong was probably thinking to herself, in what way is she inferior to Liu Erlong?
In Gui Yuan's opinion, Liu Erlong was truly inferior to his teacher, both in appearance and personality.
Of course, the personality I'm referring to here is Bibi Dong's when she was younger; I won't go into her current state.
The reason that incident happened back then was largely due to Yu Xiaogang's lack of talent and his extreme cowardice.
If he could stay in the Spirit Hall and face the challenges alongside Bibi Dong, perhaps Qian Xunji would think more highly of him.
He was, after all, the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan patriarch. If Yu Xiaogang agreed to marry into the family, Qian Xunji might not necessarily let him off the hook.
Of course, this is just Gui Yuan's own speculation, and whether the facts are as he guessed is impossible to verify.
This time, Bibi Dong, along with Gui Yuan and Hu Liena, did not rush on their journey, but instead took a carriage towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, this time they need to help Gui Yuan hunt down Soul Beast that are over 50,000 years old, and finding them will not be easy.
Moreover, Gui Yuan rarely leaves Spirit City, so it would be good to take this opportunity to let him see the surrounding cultural landscape along the way.
Hu Liena:... So love can transfer, right?
Ten days later, Bibi Dong and her two companions arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
For the past ten days, Gui Yuan had been pondering a question: Hu Liena's fox tail External Soul Bone.
Based on the original novel, it is speculated that her External Soul Bone was at the ten-thousand-year level, which means she obtained it when acquiring her Fifth Soul Ring.
But his appearance created a butterfly effect.
The Soul Beast that Hu Liena hunts for her Fifth Soul Ring this time will most likely be different from the one in the original story.
Moreover, the direction of her Fifth Soul Skill this time is related to the application of Foxfire, not to Spiritual Power.
You can only say that there are gains and losses.
Perhaps Hu Liena will be just as lucky later on and be able to obtain another External Soul Bone that belongs to her.
This time, in response to Hu Liena's Fifth Soul Ring, the Spirit Hall listed several fox-type Soul Beast that were suitable, including the Molten Flame Scarlet Fox, Azure Flame Nether Fox, Dark Flame Demon Fox, Purple Lightning Flame Fox, and Three-Eyed Demon Fox.
The Three-Eyed Demon Fox is the worst choice, as it is a typical spirit-type Soul Beast and does not possess fire abilities.
Soon, Bibi Dong led Gui Yuan and Hu Liena deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and arrived at the Mixed Zone.
Because the Soul Beast they needed to find was quite old and had a strong bloodline, and there was no precise area where it was found, Bibi Dong had no choice but to lead the two of them in a thorough search of the area.
After ten days of searching, there were not many results.
That night, the three set up camp in the wild and warmed themselves by a fire. The fire crackled and the orange-red light shone on their faces.
Hu Liena poked at the fire with a twig, murmuring softly, "Finding a suitable Soul Beast is so difficult."
During these ten days, she and Gui Yuan did encounter suitable Soul Beast, but none of them were the right age.
For example, Gui Yuan encountered a 20,000-year-old Pink Lady and her descendants, but was eventually driven away by Bibi Dong.
Pink Lady's Soul Ring does indeed have a chance to provide Gui Yuan with Soul Skill that amplifies all attributes, but its bloodline is relatively low and it is only 20,000 years old.
The Gui Yuan can only withstand less than 60,000 years, which is more than half the expected lifespan.
More importantly, Soul Ring that is 20,000 years old only provides about one level of Soul Power, while Soul Ring that is 50,000 years old provides at least three levels of Soul Power.
This difference of one level in Soul Power is equivalent to about half a year of arduous training in the Gui Yuan.
Bibi Dong had previously stated that because Gui Yuan can increase the age of Soul Ring every year, one can choose to absorb rare Soul Beast when their age is low.
However, the Pink Lady does not belong to the category of rare bloodlines, and its combat power is far inferior to that of the Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor.
Yes, one of the target Soul Beast for Gui Yuan's Fifth Soul Ring is the Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor, which is over 50,000 years old.
It must be at least 50,000 years; anything less than 50,000 years won't work.
Only the Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor, who is over 50,000 years old, possesses the innate skill of " Spider God Possession ".
The Spider God Possession is similar to the Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, of a human Soul Master. After the Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor used it, its overall strength increased dramatically.
However, the cost is that for every second it is activated, one year's worth of cultivation will be lost.
As for whether the Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor's Soul Ring will become poisonous after being absorbed by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, will it be affected by this?
There's absolutely no need to worry about that.
Food-type Martial Soul have a unique characteristic: when absorbing Soul Ring from Soul Beast with negative effects, these negative effects will not be transferred to the Food System Soul Skill.
Oscar absorbed his Fourth Soul Ring from the poisonous Pink Lady.
His Fourth Soul Skill, " Excited Pink Sausage," increases all attributes by 10% with no side effects, except that the storage time is short, only one minute.
This demonstrates the inclusiveness of Food-type Martial Soul.
