**************************************************************************************

Although Bei Bei felt a little bad taste in his heart, he did not move to Xu Zihuang because of it.

Because from the beginning to the end, Xu Zihuang did not take any inappropriate actions, on the contrary, this time they accepted Xu Zihuang's favor.

He can be a bit of a prude like Tang Ya said, but he pretends to be elegant and calm on the surface, but he often speaks bad words.

But it is not enough to do such a bad thing, and in addition to making him feel threatened, his overall perception of Xu Zihuang is still very good.

After Tang Ya began to absorb the spirit ring, the atmosphere between the three of them became much duller.

Both Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao were curious about Xu Zihuang's eyes covered with golden lines, but this kind of secret that can involve martial spirits is an absolute taboo for any soul master.

They only meet for the first time, so it's obviously inappropriate to ask about them.

With the presence of an outsider like Xu Zihuang, it was naturally impossible for Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei to exchange their experience on the Tang Sect's secret abilities.

With the absorption of the soul ring's power from this millennial crypt spider, Tang Ya's figure seemed to become a bit slimmer.

Her aura also became stronger at an astonishing speed, her skin became more radiant, and her qi and blood also became stronger and more exuberant.

It took quite a while for the thousand-year spirit ring to be absorbed, so Bei Bei scattered some medicine to drive away the spirit beasts on the periphery.

His luck was quite a bit during Tang Ya practice, Bei Bei only chased away a few soul beasts that had appeared for ten to a hundred years.

"Hmm..." After taking a deep breath, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes, her bright eyes were filled with light, and the energy of her entire body was greatly improved.

In the cultivation process of soul masters, level 30 is an important threshold, if one can cross this threshold and enter the Spirit Elder realm, then one is a true soul master and the future will be limitless.

Many less talented soul masters cannot break through the bottleneck of level 30 even if they spend their entire lives practicing.

"Successful" Tang Ya jumped up from the ground excitedly, and three soul rings, two yellow and one purple shot up from her feet.

The most eye-catching is, of course, the millennium-level purple soul ring, a bright purple that exudes a noble aura, as of this moment, Tang Ya's strength has completely entered another level.

Bei Bei smiled and said: "Xiaoya, congratulations."

"Now there is no problem to complete the grade evaluation for promotion to the fourth grade" Tang Ya approached Bei Bei, her beautiful eyes were full of excitement.

The Crypt Demon Spider, a higher-level spider-like soul beast, was indeed a perfect match for her blue-silver grass martial spirit, and the soul abilities that she obtained were even stronger than what she expected.

Tang Ya gratefully looked at Xu Zihuang, who was not far from Bei Bei.

"Brother Yu, thank you very much for this time."

Speaking of this, she, who has always been carefree, seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, I saw your eyes turn golden, is that the ability of your martial spirit?"

The abilities of the martial spirits on the continent are varied and strange.

Many beast martial spirits can change the soul master's eye color after being possessed, which is why she didn't associate it with the body-type martial spirit in the first place.

Xu Zihuang nodded with a smile, without any intention of explaining in detail.

Bei Bei knowingly coughed and said, "Okay, since you've completed absorbing the third spirit ring, Xiaoya, let's get out of here as soon as possible."

"Over the years, there have been more and more incidents of soul masters disappearing upon entering the Star Dou Forest."

"There are spirit beasts like the crypt demon spider with a thousand-year cultivation, appearing on the periphery, so we must leave as soon as possible."

"OKAY."

Because it took too long for Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya to absorb the spirit ring, the sky has completely darkened at this time, obviously sleeping outside in the Star Dou Forest is not a good idea.

The four of them still maintained the previous formation and quickly headed towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Although some soul beasts were encountered along the way, none of them had been cultivated for over a thousand years, Tang Ya, who had just broken through to the level of a Spirit Elder, wanted to easily test them out.

An hour later, they finally left the range of the Great Star Dou Forest and continued to travel another fifty kilometers.

At this distance, there is no need to worry about encountering soul beasts roaming the Star Dou Forest.

The sound of gurgling water came from not far away, and under the starlight, a clear stream that reflected the star-filled sky appeared for all to see.

The sound of gurgling water is crisp and clear, and the clear stream brings a refreshing coolness.

Tang Ya walked over to the side of the stream with joy, took a puddle of water from the stream with her slender hands, and patted the stream.

Bei Bei put his hands on the back of his neck and looked at Tang Ya's delicate back with a soft smile on his face.

Huo Yuhao walked over to Tang Ya and washed the dust and sweat from his body with the stream water.

Relying on the powerful sight brought by his spirit eyes, he clearly saw the shadows of fish swimming at the bottom of the stream, then looked at the familiar environment around him and said kindly:

"Master Xiaoya, the grilled fish I made earlier was caught here."

"Really?" Tang Ya's eyes lit up when she heard the words.

"Hurry up Yuhao, this time Bei Bei, and I will catch the fish for you, and you will be responsible for grilling it, I'll leave you dinner tonight."

Bei Bei, who was standing under the lush branches of a giant tree, heard Tang Ya's call, nodded slightly to Xu Zihuang next to him, and then walked slowly.

As for Xu Zihuang, leaning on the thick tree trunk, he sat bow-legged and quietly watched the three people fishing and building a fire.

The fire fluttered in the wind, the dry branches burning with a series of crackles like popped beans.

A flash of golden light appeared in his blue eyes, Yuhao threaded some clean herrings with twigs, leaned against the campfire, and slowly turned them from side to side.

Not long after, a special fragrance began to spread around the bonfire, the fragrance was strong, and there was a temptation that only belonged to it.

The tender white fish gradually turned golden yellow, accompanied by a strong aroma, which was extremely attractive.

Huo Yuhao handed over the first batch of grilled fish to Xu Zihuang, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei respectively, and then continued to prepare the next batch of ingredients.

"It's so delicious!" Tang Ya's mouth was filled with oil.

She then took another bite of the grilled fish she had just baked, after comparing the two, she said depressedly, "Why is there such a big difference when I bake it myself?"

"That's because, big sister, you are not accurate enough to grab the fire, you can be a little closer to the bonfire, and the time to add the seasoning is also a little later."

Xu Zihuang said with a smile, compared to Tang Ya, his style of eating is much more elegant.

"Really?" Tang Ya looked suspiciously at Huo Yuhao's hand movements.

Hearing this sentence, Huo Yuhao was also shocked and looked at Xu Zihuang in surprise.

Because Xu Zihuang said exactly what he said.

"Master Xiaoya, it is indeed so."

"Then why don't you try roasting, little brother Yu? Yuhao has already recognized you, so the roast must be delicious," Tang Ya laughed, her face full of anticipation. As a senior foodie, this is the first thing that came to her mind, of course.

But Xu Zihuang shook his head with a smile.

"Big sister, I'm just talking casually, if you ask me to do it myself, I can't do it."

Of course, it can't be for this reason.

The seasonings used in grilled fish are very simple, and it is more necessary to grasp the heat and the moment to add the seasonings.

There is no reason why Xu Zihuang couldn't do what Huo Yuhao can do with a spirit body that also has spirit attributes.

But it is impossible for him to do this act of serving others.

It is not only because of the enlightenment education that he received in the palace of the Sun Moon Empire to become a superior since he was a child but because of the arrogance in his heart that does not allow him to do so.

People are contradictory, to carry out his plan, they can hold their edges and corners, but they have a kind of paranoid persistence about certain things.

Now that Xu Zihuang said it, Tang Ya didn't insist any further.

In addition to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, the three of them took out some food from their storage soul guides, and the four of them sat together and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Tang Ya was very excited, so she ate some more, and she fell asleep by the big tree by the campfire after eating.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, endured both physical and mental exhaustion and began to practice the Tang sect techniques that Bei Bei taught him yesterday.

Bei Bei and Xu Zihuang were the only ones who watched at the end.

Xu Zihuang looked at Tang Ya, who was sleeping in Bei Bei's arms, and asked thoughtfully, "Big brother Bei, how does it feel to like someone?"

"Hey?" Bei Bei was shocked for a moment, then met Xu Zihuang's deep gaze, and suddenly smiled.

"This will not be understood until you experience it yourself..."
