Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 33

Chapter 33: So That’s It

“Did you really analyze this?”

Qian Xunji looked at Gu Ziyue, asking again. At the same time, Qian Xunji’s sharp eyes fixed on Gu Ziyue.

“It’s true. Before Tang Xiao and the others took Tang Yuehua away, they also gave me a gift from the Hao Tian Sect as a thank you!”

Gu Ziyue nodded, then took a small box containing a Soul Bone from his bosom.

“This is the Soul Bone!”

Gu Ziyue continued, opening the box. Gu Ziyue wasn’t worried about what might happen if he took out the Soul Bone; it would be ridiculous if Qian Xunji coveted it. If he really wanted it, he could just give it to him. However, Gu Ziyue believed Qian Xunji wasn’t that desperate.

A bluish light shone forth, and the Soul Bone’s appearance quickly appeared before Qian Xunji and the other two.

“A Soul Bone!”

“It’s actually a Soul Bone!”

Seeing the Soul Bone Gu Ziyue produced, Qian Xunji, Li Chanfei, and Bi Bi Dong were all somewhat surprised.

Was the Hao Tian Sect so willing? To actually give a Soul Bone to Gu Ziyue. They believed Gu Ziyue couldn’t possibly be lying, because based on their understanding of him, he was incapable of obtaining a Soul Bone on his own. But if it was a gift of gratitude from the Hao Tian Sect, then it made sense.

“Good, good, excellent. Now I believe you did it. Otherwise, the Hao Tian Sect wouldn’t give out a Soul Bone!”

After the surprise, Qian Xunji smiled and patted Gu Ziyue on the shoulder. He genuinely believed Gu Ziyue had done it. However, he also saw that the Soul Bone in Gu Ziyue’s hands was of low quality, only about two to three thousand years old. For an ordinary Soul Master, a two-thousand-year Soul Bone would indeed be priceless. But in the eyes of true powerhouses, such a Soul Bone was rather unimpressive. It was valuable enough, but the quality was too low! Neither delicious nor worth discarding.

“Why haven’t you absorbed this Soul Bone?”

Then Qian Xunji tried to ask Gu Ziyue. He wanted to see if Gu Ziyue also looked down on this Soul Bone. He himself wouldn’t absorb this quality of Soul Bone, nor would he let Bi Bi Dong; however, Gu Ziyue obtaining it and not absorbing it made him look at him differently.

“The quality is too low, and I plan to study it, so I haven’t absorbed it yet!” Gu Ziyue answered honestly.

“Excellent, ambitious! The Hao Tian Sect is really stingy. This quality Soul Bone is far less than the value of your service to them!”

Qian Xunji praised Gu Ziyue again, not forgetting to belittle the Hao Tian Sect.

“What are you planning to study?”

Finally, Qian Xunji asked another question. Before, he wouldn’t have been curious, but after learning about Gu Ziyue’s intelligence, he couldn’t help but ask.

“I intend to see if I can figure out the Soul Skill within the Soul Bone and then create my own!”

“Or integrate it into my Martial Soul!”

Gu Ziyue stated directly.

“Researching and creating your own Soul Skill, that’s excellent, but it’s not that simple!”

“Creating a Soul Skill requires understanding your own Martial Soul’s characteristics…”

Qian Xunji admired Gu Ziyue’s ambition. The Martial Soul Temple also had Soul Masters specializing in researching self-created Soul Skills, but their results were generally mediocre; no powerful self-created Soul Skills had been developed. However, he didn’t discourage Gu Ziyue’s enthusiasm, letting him do as he pleased. After all, Gu Ziyue wasn’t his disciple, and his talent was just so-so. Diligent cultivation might be less effective than letting him tinker with other things.

“So it needs to be combined with the characteristics of one’s own Martial Soul?”

“Thank you for your guidance, Your Holiness!”

Gu Ziyue pretended to be enlightened and excitedly thanked him.

“Mm, put your Soul Bone away.”

Gu Ziyue’s performance again made Qian Xunji nod, then he turned to Bi Bi Dong and beckoned. “Dong’er, come here!”

“Yes, Teacher!”

Bi Bi Dong responded and came over. At the same time, Qian Xunji glanced at Li Chanfei, giving her a look.

“Your Holiness, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave!”

Li Chanfei understood immediately and quickly left.

“Mm!”

Qian Xunji gave a soft ‘mm’.

“Gu Ziyue, this is my disciple, Bi Bi Dong, and also the Saintess of our Martial Soul Temple!”

After Li Chanfei left, Qian Xunji introduced Bi Bi Dong to Gu Ziyue. In the second year after taking Bi Bi Dong in, Qian Xunji, very satisfied with her, directly announced her as the Saintess of the Martial Soul Temple.

“Saintess!”

Gu Ziyue hurriedly said.

“Mm!”

Bi Bi Dong responded, curiously looking at Gu Ziyue without saying much.

“Teacher, why did you call me over?”

Bi Bi Dong was merely curious why her teacher summoned her.

“Gu Ziyue, now use your Soul Skills on us!”

Qian Xunji affectionately ruffled Bi Bi Dong’s head, then said to Gu Ziyue. He planned to have Gu Ziyue stay and assist Bi Bi Dong in her cultivation, so he naturally had to test Gu Ziyue’s Soul Skills and their supportive effect on Bi Bi Dong. He also wanted to experience Gu Ziyue’s Soul Skills himself.

“Yes, Your Holiness!”

Gu Ziyue knew what Qian Xunji meant, and without further ado, he summoned his Martial Soul. Along with it appeared his white Soul Ring. Seeing Gu Ziyue’s white Soul Ring, Qian Xunji, already knowing, didn’t pay much attention. Bi Bi Dong, upon seeing it, flashed a moment of surprise, then secretly scoffed. Gu Ziyue’s repeated praise from the teacher had led her to believe he was very powerful. So that’s it.

“First Soul Skill: Purification Chant!”

Buzz——

Gu Ziyue didn’t know about Bi Bi Dong’s disdain. After summoning his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, he directly cast his First Soul Skill, simultaneously materializing two Purification Chant talismans.

Seeing Gu Ziyue’s skill, Qian Xunji’s eyes lit up again. Food and item-type support Martial Souls usually summon one at a time; Gu Ziyue could summon two simultaneously, showing his mastery of his First Soul Skill.

At that moment, the two Purification Chant talismans Gu Ziyue had summoned were held in his hands, and he threw them at Qian Xunji and Bi Bi Dong.

Whoosh——

Whoosh——

Knowing that it was Gu Ziyue’s support Soul Skill, Qian Xunji and Bi Bi Dong didn’t resist. The two Purification Chant talismans quickly adhered to them and then dissipated. Qian Xunji and Bi Bi Dong then felt the effect of the Purification Chant talismans for the first time.

Qian Xunji carefully experienced it and found it quite good. Aside from the effect of aiding cultivation, the feeling of a cool head and increased calmness was excellent.

“So that’s the effect, no wonder it can aid cultivation!”

“Dong’er, try practicing your Meditation Technique now!”

Qian Xunji praised, then had Bi Bi Dong begin her Soul Power cultivation.
