Chapter 96: Ning Rongrong's Determination, Bibi Dong's Investigation
Although both possessed Blue Silver Grass as their spirit, Ah Yin's was the Blue Silver Emperor.
Moreover, beneath Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass, five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—pulsated rhythmically, clearly indicating that she was a Spirit King.
With such cultivation, one could become a dean at an intermediate-level Spirit Master Academy or a nobleman in the empire.
The girl clearly felt that her spirit was being suppressed, and she couldn't muster any will to resist.
At the same time, she also felt a sense of familiarity with Ah Yin, and let down her guard.
Ah Yin put away her spirit and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The girl felt a lightness in her body as the suppression of her spirit disappeared, and then she said, "Sister, my name is Bai Yan."
"Bai Yan? What a nice name. Would you like to come with me to cultivate?" Ah Yin invited.
Bai Yan's eyes lit up. Blue Silver Grass was already very difficult to cultivate; even reaching the Soul Elder level was difficult, let alone the Spirit King level.
Although her spirit was a mutated Blue Silver Grass, she had only cultivated it to level ten.
She hadn't even graduated from the elementary Spirit Master Academy, which was why she now had to hunt spirit beasts on her own to obtain spirit rings.
She wasn't stupid. Why wouldn't she accept a Spirit King with a Blue Silver Grass spirit taking her as a disciple?
"Sister, I'm willing, please accept me as your disciple!" Bai Yan immediately knelt down.
"Alright!" But before Bai Yan could bow, Ah Yin stopped her: "No need to be so polite, come with me!"
Bai Yan's spirit was Blue Silver Grass, which, in Ah Yin's eyes, was like her former subjects, receiving her care.
Qi Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With someone by her side, Ah Yin could absorb more energy, and he believed she would soon enter her mature stage.
Once they reach maturity, they become like human spirit masters and no longer need to absorb "human energy" to cultivate.
He had passed on the Mysterious Heaven Art to her, and with her talent, she would soon be granted a title.
...
The following day, Qi Tian's divided soul returned to his original body and visited the Blue Silver Forest once again.
Blue Silver King actually found him a 30,000-year-old spirit beast willing to sign a spirit contract; it was a black jade bamboo.
It was more accurate to describe it as a bamboo grove than a single black jade bamboo.
This entire bamboo grove was the body of this black jade bamboo, occupying an entire mountaintop and sharing a single life.
Qi Tian successfully signed a spirit contract with it, and it became Qi Tian's fourth spirit ring.
However, its spirit imprint was still slowly developing within Qi Tian's spirit ring, and it would take some time for it to hatch into a spirit soul.
Qi Tian also obtained a spirit skill called [Immortal Body].
This immortality wasn't as powerful as the Blue Silver Emperor's, but it could still reconnect severed limbs and even regenerate them.
Furthermore, it could transfer damage, shifting fatal injuries to a specific part of the body.
Just like the bamboo forest on that mountain, if you cut down one, another would grow back, causing no harm to the spirit beast.
Qi Tian's soul power had reached level 47, not far from the Spirit King realm.
After Qi Tian broke through, he took Zhu Zhuqing north to the Sunset Forest to hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings.
It wasn't that he chose the more distant option, but rather that Sunset Forest was safer than Star Dou Forest.
...
Early morning.
Inside the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong got out of bed early, but soon lay back down, feeling restless.
She didn't want to go back to sleep; she just felt very uncomfortable.
"Brother Tian, are you really going to abandon me?"
Several days had passed, and Qi Tian, who should have reappeared, did not take over her body again.
She thought she would be happy to regain her freedom, but she wasn't. Instead, she missed Qi Tian's possession of her body.
"Is Tian-ge going to see that nasty woman?"
Ning Rongrong recalled the Bibi Dong she had met at the Crown Prince's residence that day. This kind of woman was simply the ultimate form she wanted to become.
They wielded immense power and influence, and could do whatever they wanted.
"No, we can't let her get away with this. I'm going to find Brother Tian!" Ning Rongrong said bitterly.
"Anyway, Brother Tian said that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also useful to the Spirit Hall. As the Pope, Bibi Dong shouldn't dare to target me!"
Ning Rongrong quickly got out of bed, ready to start her morning exercise.
Her opponent was already a Limit Douluo; if she didn't work harder, she would only be able to watch helplessly as Qi Tian was snatched away by Bibi Dong.
"Rongrong, good news! We've found a spirit beast that's perfect for you!" Just then, Ning Fengzhi knocked on her door.
"I understand!" Ning Rongrong replied.
As the hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi dared not let her take any risks.
Even when hunting for spirit rings, Ning Rongrong would have others identify the target first before taking Ning Rongrong to hunt it.
If it weren't for the possibility that the spirit beast might self-destruct, Ning Fengzhi would have wanted to capture the spirit beast and let Ning Rongrong kill it.
...
In Heaven Dou City, at the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong quickly flipped through the files of the Heaven Dou Empire's Spirit Hall.
This scroll was selected by her subordinates and contained information about several Spirit Masters named Qi Tian.
"Could these people be you?" Bibi Dong pondered.
She discovered that in the Heaven Dou Empire, there were several Spirit Masters named Qi Tian.
One of the Spirit Masters whose spirit was Blue Silver Grass was the one she valued the most.
This Spirit Master broke through to the first ring at the age of seven, registered his spirit manual, broke through to the Great Spirit Master at the age of nine, and broke through to the Soul Elder at the age of ten.
Such a cultivation speed was not what one would expect from a Blue Silver Grass spirit.
Such a special person would naturally attract her attention.
"Qi Tian, you can't escape my grasp!" Bibi Dong thought to herself.
At the same time, she noticed Qi Tian's family information, which she had obtained from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
"Such a young child separated from his parents, what a pitiful child!"
Bibi Dong planned to bring Qi Tian's parents to Spirit City to settle them down, so that they would not be affected by future wars.
With everything I've done so thoroughly, why should I be afraid that Qi Tian won't submit? Bibi Dong thought to herself.
...
Sunset Forest.
Qi Tian was covering for Zhu Zhuqing, who was currently fighting a two-thousand-year-old ghost leopard.
Zhu Zhuqing consumed Whale Glue and cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Art, greatly enhancing her physical strength and the strength of her meridians.
Moreover, she also consumed Immortal Herbs, which improved her spirit aptitude, making the absorption of a two-thousand-year-old spirit ring nothing special.
Zhu Zhuqing only had two hundred-year-old spirit ring skills, so she was having some difficulty fighting against a spirit beast with two thousand years of cultivation.
However, Qi Tian did not intervene rashly, as it would be a good thing for Zhu Zhuqing to gain some combat experience.
The Ghost Leopard was a high-level spirit beast known for its speed and attack, and its spirit ring was very suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.
The Spirit Hall had a Titled Douluo whose spirit was the Ghost Leopard, which was enough to show how high the quality of this spirit beast was.
The ghost leopard was very fast, and Zhu Zhuqing was constantly suppressed by it. Even when she occasionally hit it, it was just an illusion left behind.
Gradually, Zhu Zhuqing fell into a disadvantageous position, and Qi Tian was ready to step in to save her at any moment.
Just then, Qi Tian suddenly heard a clear, crisp sound.
"The Nine Treasures transform into Glazed Glass. The Nine Treasures have names: First, Power; Second, Speed; Third, Soul!"
