"Don't worry!"
"I might leave someone else out, but never you!"
Meng Qianqiu smiled. These four were not only his closest friends, but also his right-hand men and like-minded companions on the path.
"The value of an immortal herb is difficult to measure!"
"But there's a saying in the Soul Master World: hundred-thousand-year soul beasts may be rare, but immortal herbs are even harder to come by."
"In other words, a single immortal herb is worth far more than a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. This is an enormous debt of gratitude."
Yue Guan immediately turned to explain to the other three.
"Gasp..."
Upon hearing this, the other three all looked at Meng Qianqiu.
An inscrutable look filled their eyes. Meng Qianqiu really had not lied to them. They had never imagined that the Meng Family's thousand-year foundations ran so deep.
Terrifying! Truly terrifying!
"All right, enough marveling!"
"Gui Mei, this narcissus jade muscle bone is for you!"
Meng Qianqiu took out another jade box, which contained precisely the narcissus jade muscle bone. This herb, too, ranked among the immortal-grade treasures.
"Narcissus jade muscle bone!"
"This is also an immortal herb. It can nourish the tendons and replenish the bones, sending Qi through the seven channels and eight meridians. It achieves the same wondrous effects as the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum through different means."
"Gui Mei, your Martial Soul is a ghost, one of the body martial souls. Taking this immortal herb can give you a second awakening."
"Body martial souls are extremely rare!"
"Besides their initial awakening, body martial souls can undergo a second awakening, which is divided into four grades."
"The second awakening of a body martial soul has four grades: black iron, bronze, silver, and the rarest of all, gold!"
"This narcissus jade muscle bone is innately yin. It will benefit you immensely and allow your body martial soul to undergo a gold-grade awakening."
The narcissus jade muscle bone Meng Qianqiu had taken out was yin, while the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum was yang. The two complemented each other, achieving the same wonders through different means.
This immortal herb suited Gui Mei very well. Once he consumed it, a faint jade sheen spread across his entire body, and his Soul Power surged by seven ranks.
Gui Mei's Soul Power had now reached rank thirty-nine!
"Sure enough, my Martial Soul has completed its second awakening!"
"My Martial Soul used to be a black shadow containing my three souls and seven spirits. Now, after awakening, it has transformed into the Dark Night Sovereign!"
Gui Mei's voice rang out. Sure enough, after he consumed this immortal herb, his Martial Soul successfully transformed through a gold-grade awakening.
A faint golden glow appeared over Gui Mei's Martial Soul. At the same time, his body also shone with a faint jade sheen.
Gui Mei's Martial Soul now possessed both spiritual power and darkness attributes and could also manifest physically. His Martial Soul and flesh had completely fused.
"Old Ghost, this truly calls for celebration!"
"Who would have thought your Martial Soul would actually evolve?"
"But have you noticed anything unusual about your Martial Soul?"
Yue Guan's voice rang out. Because they had both consumed immortal herbs, the two exchanged a glance, a vague suspicion forming in their hearts.
They had always hit it off, as inseparable as Meng and Jiao. Now that their compatibility had increased, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill had been born.
At that moment, their Soul Power resonated.
"Yes!"
"It seems our Soul Power has resonated!"
"But now isn't the time to discuss this. Let's talk about it later and study it carefully in private."
Gui Mei had also noticed the anomaly, but this was no time to show off. The two exchanged a glance and suppressed the stirring in their hearts.
"All right, we'll discuss this later!"
Yue Guan nodded and did not pursue the matter.
"This is for you, Dugu Bo!"
"This is an earth dragon golden melon, another peerless immortal herb."
"Although your inherited Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorus Snake, is highly venomous, it harms its owner before it harms anyone else. As a result, most Soul Masters who possess it do not live long."
"This earth dragon golden melon can mutate your Martial Soul, evolving it into a higher-tier Martial Soul and allowing you to escape that fate."
Meng Qianqiu looked at Dugu Bo. Although Dugu Bo's Martial Soul had mutated, its evolution was incomplete, and its drawbacks remained.
The facts proved that Dugu Bo's Martial Soul had not fully evolved. Otherwise, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul would not have regressed into a Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
"Earth dragon golden melon?"
"Good, good, good! As long as there's a share for me!"
Dugu Bo was not picky either. He immediately consumed the earth dragon golden melon, and his Soul Power broke through to rank thirty-nine, surging by five ranks.
"My Martial Soul has evolved too!"
"A Martial Soul has a name, bestowed by heaven!"
"My Martial Soul is now called the Golden-Eyed Earth Dragon!"
Dugu Bo spoke at once. The Golden-Eyed Earth Dragon ranked among super martial souls. It was a dragon beast with both metal and earth attributes, and its might was formidable!
The Golden-Eyed Earth Dragon was a Soul Beast with both metal and earth attributes, as well as a rare dragon species. Although it had lost the poison attribute, it was even more powerful.
"The Golden-Eyed Earth Dragon! That's a true dragon martial soul!"
Seeing this, the other three could not help exclaiming in admiration.
Anything connected to dragons meant power. The Golden-Eyed Earth Dragon was one of the true dragon species, as well as a pure earth dragon.
Even the mighty Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon had an inferior bloodline to the Golden-Eyed Earth Dragon.
"My turn, my turn!"
"Boss Meng, please grant me a great fortune too!"
Wang Zhan spoke eagerly. To be honest, as a commoner Soul Master, he had long since been unable to contain his excitement.
"I haven't forgotten you!"
"This is aromatic silk beauty, another peerless immortal herb!"
"Once consumed, this herb can draw in the essence of heaven and earth and the radiance of the sun and moon. Your Martial Soul is the Golden Light War Tiger, making this the most suitable herb for you."
"You mustn't swallow this flower. Gently suck on its stamens, slowly drawing in its essence, then cultivate your Soul Power to guide it along gradually!"
"Only when its medicinal effects have spread throughout your limbs and bones will the process be complete!"
Wang Zhan's Martial Soul was a rare mutated beast martial soul. The Golden Light War Tiger was also a gemstone-type Soul Beast, exceptionally rare in the Soul Beast Realm.
After consuming the aromatic silk beauty, Wang Zhan's Martial Soul replenished its missing innate origin and fully completed an earth-shaking transformation!
"Super martial soul-Golden Light War Tiger Emperor!"
Wang Zhan's Soul Power began climbing rapidly, breaking through from rank twenty-seven all the way to rank thirty before finally lowering its banners and stilling its drums.
"My Soul Power has broken through to rank thirty!"
"My Martial Soul has also evolved into the Golden Light War Tiger Emperor!"
A smile blossomed across Wang Zhan's face. For an ordinary Soul Master, Martial Soul Evolution was undoubtedly an enormous opportunity.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"The immortal herbs have now all been distributed!"
"Use this time to properly consolidate the Soul Power in your bodies. If you need to hunt for Soul Rings, then go hunt for Soul Rings."
"In three months, we'll advance into the elite selection tournament."
"When the time comes, I hope you'll give me your full support!"
Meng Qianqiu immediately turned and addressed the four.
For an ordinary Soul Master, three months might only be enough to gain one rank of Soul Power, but which of those present was not a genius?
If they worked hard over those three months, they could rise at least another step. Yue Guan and the others might reach rank forty.
Having consumed immortal herbs, they still had vast amounts of medicinal power stored within their bodies. They could use this time to refine it into their own Soul Power.
"All right!"
"Leave it to us!"
Hearing this, the four immediately nodded.
Yue Guan was rank thirty-eight, while Gui Mei and Dugu Bo were rank thirty-nine. If they worked hard, they might reach rank forty before the tournament.
When the time came, with Meng Qianqiu devising a plan, they could also hunt down a ten thousand year soul ring to serve as their fourth ring.
Once the three finished hunting for Soul Rings, they would have four Soul Ancestors and one Soul Elder. This selection tournament could then be declared over before it even began.
