Feng Xiaotian Was a Talent Worth Recruiting!
As long as the amount he spent on the goddess increased, Feng Xiaotian's commission would increase as well.
After all, Feng Xiaotian had minimum requirements for the Soul Rings and Soul Bones he absorbed.
At the very least, they couldn't be less than a hundred thousand years old. That wasn't asking too much, was it?
Take Soul Bones, which were even more precious than Soul Rings. An ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone cost 100,000, a medium-quality one 200,000, and a high-quality one 400,000.
An ordinary twenty-thousand-year Soul Bone was worth the same as a medium-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, or 200,000. A medium-quality twenty-thousand-year Soul Bone cost 400,000, while a high-quality one cost 800,000.
Using the system's method of calculation, Feng Xiaotian looked at the price of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.
An ordinary one already cost 51.2 million, a medium-quality one 102.4 million, and a high-quality one 204.8 million Wolf Warrior Coins.
Using upgrades to increase the age of a Soul Ring or Soul Bone was simply too costly. The best way was to get it in one step.
Still, that was absolute. If necessary, Feng Xiaotian would also redeem a Soul Bone in advance. But judging by some of the items in the system, he believed he should be able to afford a Soul Bone over a hundred thousand years old in a single purchase, or even one of a greater age.
After all, Soul Bones over a hundred thousand years old were calculated differently from the ones before them, and their prices would not accumulate so dramatically.
Feng Xiaotian checked his Soul Power. Although cultivating Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils with the aid of the immortal herb Yearning Heartbroken Red had not increased his Soul Power, it had raised his spiritual power further.
His spiritual power had already been around rank fifty-three. Under the effects of the immortal herb Yearning Heartbroken Red Dew, it had reached the Soul Saint level. It could be said to be about the same as his father Feng Qingyang's.
With the increase in his Soul Rings' ages just now, the power of his first three Soul Skills had also increased considerably.
His Soul Power, however, had not increased. He was in no hurry, though. At this stage, he still needed to lay his foundations and strive to absorb an older Soul Ring for his Fifth Soul Ring. He even had a very good chance of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
"System, redeem one Intermediate Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste!"
Feng Xiaotian immediately began cultivating the Dragon Tiger Body Tempering Technique with its strange movements. About ten minutes passed.
Feng Xiaotian finished cultivating and clenched his fists, feeling the changes this round of body tempering had brought to his body. He shook his head helplessly and said, "The Intermediate Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste isn't nearly as effective for me anymore. I can use the Advanced Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste next."
The Dragon Tiger Body Tempering Technique was a fairly good body-tempering cultivation method. At the beginning, it used three grades of Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste. Only when even the Advanced Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste no longer worked would one be considered to have learned the basics of the technique.
After that, more advanced medicinal ingredients had to be redeemed before cultivation could continue.
Immediately afterward, Feng Xiaotian redeemed an Advanced Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste and continued cultivating.
By morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten and it was time to set off, Feng Xiaotian had used one Intermediate Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Paste and two Advanced Dragon-Tiger Body-Tempering Pastes in a single night. He had spent a total of 500,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, leaving him with 1.28 million.
When he saw his mother, Ling Qiu, that morning, the 1.28 million increased by another 200,000, reaching 1.48 million.
With his mother by his side, Feng Xiaotian would always have a steady stream of Wolf Warrior Coin commissions, but the most he could get was 200,000. In the end, he still had to follow the system and become the strongest simp. The more he simped and the more he succeeded, the more he would benefit.
After all, Feng Xiaotian wanted his entire body covered in million-year Golden Soul Rings, and perhaps even a few more Martial Souls.
Of course, Feng Xiaotian could also redeem additional Martial Souls with Wolf Warrior Coins, but the price was rather moving. He wasn't considering it for now.
They left Heaven Dou City and traveled for less than an hour. By then, the sky was bright, and the sun had risen slightly, casting faint rays of sunlight that were not yet warm.
Feng Xiaotian and the other four had already reached the outskirts of Sunset Forest!
The others kept asking Feng Xiaotian what kind of Soul Ring he wanted and how old it should be. Feng Xiaotian went along with their conversation, but did not tell them the age of the Soul Ring he needed.
When they reached the part of Sunset Forest where thousand-year Soul Beasts gathered, Feng Xiaotian decided not to waste everyone's time.
So he said, "Actually, I don't need a Fourth Soul Ring. I already have one."
Everyone was a little stunned. Feng Xiaotian had been at Godwind Academy lately and didn't seem to have gone out. How could he already have a Fourth Soul Ring?
Feng Qingyang said, "Xiaotian, what's going on? You have a Fourth Soul Ring?"
The four of them looked at Feng Xiaotian curiously.
Of the four people before him, his parents were trustworthy, and he knew Feng He and Cheng Cheng inside and out, so there was no harm in revealing a little.
After all, Tang San's Fourth Soul Ring was also ten thousand years old. Although surprising, it was not enough to shake the continent, and seemed to fall within what the Soul Masters of the continent could accept.
Feng Xiaotian smiled. "Well, actually, I sneaked out one night ten days ago. My teacher brought me to Sunset Forest. We were pretty lucky and ran into a suitable Soul Beast as soon as we arrived. I also reached the Soul Ancestor level that night."
With that, Feng Xiaotian immediately circulated his Soul Power, and four Soul Rings lit up. Under the effect of the Soul Ring-concealing Soul Tool, four Soul Rings lit up, yellow, yellow, purple, and black, appearing one after another.
This was even more surprising. Cheng Cheng stammered slightly, "Xiaotian, your... your f-fourth... Soul Ring, h-how is it ten thousand years old?"
Feng Xiaotian nodded. "It really is ten thousand years old. It was mainly thanks to my teacher. Normally, I could have absorbed a Soul Ring around five thousand years old at most, but with my teacher's help, I managed to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Feng He asked curiously, "Xiaotian, who is your teacher?"
Feng Xiaotian replied, "Teacher Feng He, my teacher doesn't want to be revealed just yet, so... I can't tell you."
Feng Xiaotian had also told his parents this, and Feng He expressed understanding after hearing it.
They were all happy that Feng Xiaotian had obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his Fourth Soul Ring.
At that moment, in the crown prince's residence in Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, held a stack of documents.
At the top of the documents were the three large characters of Feng Xiaotian's name.
Qian Renxue read quietly, "Twenty years old, Innate Full Soul Power, Mutated Martial Soul Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, Soul Power rank forty. He should perhaps be a Soul Ancestor by now."
Qian Renxue frowned as she looked at Feng Xiaotian's information.
"Was Innate Full Soul Power this useless? Only rank forty at twenty?"
"No, wait... he actually created a powerful fist-type Soul Skill himself!"
"Could creating the Soul Skill have taken time away from cultivating his Soul Power?"
Qian Renxue thought back to the scene of Feng Xiaotian fighting one of her Soul Kings the previous evening. It could hardly even be called a fight.
After all, her subordinate had never managed to touch so much as a corner of Feng Xiaotian's clothes.
Qian Renxue murmured, "Could that also be one of your Self-Created Soul Skills?"
The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the more mysterious Feng Xiaotian seemed, and the stronger her interest grew. For a moment, a desire to recruit talent gradually welled up in her. "Feng Xiaotian is a talent worth recruiting!"
