72 Second spiritual ring of Yin Lan

Two long months have passed since we returned to school and today our task is to help little Yin obtain her second spirit ring. During this time, we have all significantly improved our cultivation bases and combat experience thanks to the training room. Yesterday, Yin finally defeated her opponent and has reached a solid foundation to absorb her second spirit ring.

As for Oscar, he has also progressed to level 20, but his foundation is not yet strong enough. Only by finding a rare beast that allows him to acquire a good soul skill can we help him absorb that spirit ring.

We prepared our provisions and everything necessary for the journey to Soul Splitting Forest, which is four hundred miles away from Notting City. We decided to return to that forest because it is not necessary to search for soul beasts over ten thousand years old.

After preparing everything, we looked for a carriage to rent and headed to the same little village where we had been before, near the entrance of the forest. As we traveled, we talked about various topics. Everyone was happy to have a reason to leave school, especially Yuroichi, who had attended one before and found it boring to go back. For her, it was like being in hell.

Just when we were halfway there, I heard the voice of the system:

[Mission activated: Ensure that your companions obtain soul rings with a higher age than normal (second ring about 723 years old), the greater the difference, the greater the reward.]

Hours later, we finally arrived at the forest. Using the same trick as before, we entered to hunt soul beasts.

"Yuroichi, you will go ahead to protect us from that direction. Be alert if any soul beast approaches. Little Yin, you will be in the center, while both Oscar and Xiao Wu will be on the sides protecting and watching if any other spiritual beast approaches. I will protect you from the rear. I remind you that I will only act if necessary, so you are responsible for hunting your soul beasts."

When they heard my words, everyone nodded and positioned themselves. They drew their weapons and began the search for the most suitable second spirit ring.

Unfortunately, we were not lucky today in our search, as we only found beasts with less than a thousand years and none were suitable for us. What we were looking for was a beast with an age of around 2500 to 3700 years. In this time, the physical condition of little Yin had improved enough to withstand that level of spirit ring.

None of us seemed worried at all, as we had plenty of time to find the ideal beast. We hurried to prepare all our things to camp in that place, but suddenly I noticed something and quickly called out to the boys, "Be careful."

When everyone heard me, they quickly moved away from the place where they were, and the next moment, several vines rioted in that spot. They all had a drop of sweat on their foreheads, as they had not noticed that they were placing their tent next to a plant-type spiritual beast. It was a ghost vine of about 3500 years, which blended so well with its surroundings that almost no one had noticed.

"Little Yin, it seems that we have found your spirit ring," I said with a smile. When she heard me, she took a look at the plant-type beast and her eyes lit up when she realized its age.

Quickly, the boys prepared to kill the ghost vine. I didn't get involved, as it was not necessary. They could do it themselves. My mission now was to look for any creature trying to sneak into this place. In addition, I was also looking for a soul beast similar to the ghost vine but younger.

As I thought, a ghost vine of about 600 years old was located a few dozen meters away, perhaps a little more, but the difference wasn't significant. So, I quickly used a clone to get rid of that spiritual beast. After killing it, the system's voice came:

[Congratulations, host, for removing Tang San's second spirit ring and changing the original novel's plot... You are rewarded with the 'Hidden Weapons Guide', the 'Last Passion Liquid', as well as some luck from the Son of the Plane and 30,000 SP.]

"Wow, what is the Last Passion Liquid?" I asked with doubts, as I had never heard of it before.

[Host, the Last Passion Liquid is a poison-like aphrodisiac that functions similarly to a high-level aphrodisiac. The difference is that, after having intimate contact, the person will become a eunuch. And if the affected person does nothing within a day, they will die. This aphrodisiac was created by an immortal who discovered that her partner was unfaithful, so she wanted revenge.]Ciel replied.

"Will there be any trace of this liquid left in the person's body?" I asked curiously.

[No, host,] Ciel replied.

Hearing that there would be no trace left, a smile formed on my face. I had already thought of a great way to use it. "Yu Xiaogang, just wait for me, I'll give you a big surprise," I thought to myself.

While I got lost in my Machiavellian thoughts, Yuroichi, Little Yin, Xiao Wu, and Oscar were busy dealing with a very dangerous plant. Even though it was their first time working together, they were doing an impressive job. Each of them maximized their abilities, and there was not a single unnecessary move.

After about seven minutes, they managed to defeat the plant. I have to say, I was very surprised. Beasts of this type usually even pose a challenge to Soul Masters of level 30 or higher.

While Little Yin absorbed the spirit ring, Yuroichi examined the surroundings for nearby soul beasts, while the others protected Yin Lan.

After a couple of hours, Little Yin managed to absorb the spirit ring and revealed her second soul skill: "It's called Parasite. It activates the tiny seeds that Blue Silver Grass leaves, turning them into fully developed vines. This way, I can instantly re-bind and immobilize opponents who have been in contact with my Blue Silver Grass before. Plus, it has a great paralyzing ability. Anyone with a spiritual power level lower than mine will be still for a few seconds. In contrast, those with a higher level of power will feel a lot of discomfort while trying to move while the primary skill is developing."

Everyone, except me, was amazed at Yin Lan's ability. It was a great soul skill. If I recall correctly, it is almost the same as Tang San's, but Yin Lan's is much more powerful.

Once we finished everything, we made sure there were no spiritual beasts nearby, and we could camp more peacefully. We decided to stay one more day to search for a suitable soul beast for Oscar. We want to find something that can eliminate poison since his first ring is used to recover energy. This way, the second ring will serve to detoxify any poison that arises. We ventured deeper into the forest to find the perfect beast.

Thank you for reading the chapter.
