Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 65 Star Vein Grass

It was still night in the Jingyang Mountains, and it was pitch black as soon as he entered the cave, but Lin Xiao seemed unaffected as he walked through it.

His vision was obstructed, but the soul did not perceive the outside world through vision. With the soul exploring the way forward, the simple darkness had almost no effect on Lin Xiao.

It can assist in sensing the external environment, can be sent out to guard the surroundings, and even has a certain combat capability to help Lin Xiao fight.

Lin Xiao seemed to understand why the fifth elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, Wanhun Douluo, was so obsessed with all kinds of strange souls, and traveled all over the Douluo Continent to collect useful soul beast souls and put them into his Wanhun Banner.

This is even Lin Xiao’s first attempt. As his mental power increases, the number of souls he can control will also increase.

The only flaw is probably that the soul can only attack the opponent mentally. When facing a soul master with equally outstanding mental power or a soul master with spiritual attributes, its effect will be greatly reduced.

After turning another corner along the winding passage, Lin Xiao was instantly attracted by the scenery in front of him, and all the thoughts in his mind disappeared.

What I see before my eyes is no longer pure darkness, but dots of light are scattered everywhere, just like admiring the starry sky up close.

The air carried the scent of wolves, the scent left by the Silver Wolf King. But even so, it couldn't mask the cool, refreshing air that permeated the cave, like morning dew.

He had made some guesses on the way here, but he had not yet turned on the lighting soul guide. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, his guesses were confirmed.

In fact, compared to the Douluo Continent, the Sun-Moon Continent is not only rich in mineral resources, but also in a variety of rare medicinal herbs. After all, the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire rely heavily on the power of medicine to improve their soul power.

Perhaps it is because of the abundance of medicinal materials and the excessive reliance of soul masters on drugs that the martial soul talents of the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire cannot compare with those of the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent. In fact, there has not been a true tenth-level soul master in tens of thousands of years.

In Lin Xiao's memory, as soon as Ye Xishui appeared, she was recognized as not from the Sun-Moon Empire. It was precisely because of the talent of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul masters that it was almost impossible for an Extreme Douluo to appear.

However, at the moment, looking at the medicinal herbs in front of him, Lin Xiao did not have much time to think about the gap between the Sun and Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent. Instead, he stepped in cautiously, carefully looking for something among these "starlights".

This piece of "starlight" is called star vein grass. Although it is called grass, according to the classification in Lin Xiao's memory, it should be regarded as a kind of fungus. It grows in dark and humid places like fungi and is afraid of strong light.

However, there is no such term in this world, and it is simply roughly classified as a grass plant.

The reason why it is called Star Vein Grass is that the "Star" is named after the scenery in front of us. They grow in the dark like stars, and the "Vein" is because they tend to grow only in places where minerals gather.

Like the silver wolves, they absorb rare metals to grow, but they differ in that the energy of those metals accumulates within their bodies. Therefore, the silver wolf king not only didn't destroy the star vein grass, but instead frequently visited this cave.

After all, for it, eating these star vein grasses is also a process of absorbing minerals.

Judging from the size of this cave, they have obviously been growing here for quite some time. I'm afraid some of the star vein grass have already possessed the characteristics of soul beasts.

Moreover, for a Silver Wolf King to possess such defense, and even its wolf claws to cut off the sharp blade attached to the mechanical arm, it must be very old.

The light from the lighting soul guide would destroy the environment in which the star vein grass grew. Lin Xiao could only use the faint light to slowly identify it in the cave. On the other side, the soul was rapidly passing through these star vein grasses.

"I've got it." Lin Xiao had just bent down when his expression suddenly changed as he looked towards a corner of the cave not far away.

There was a naturally formed stone slab there, which seemed to be a stone from above the cave that had fallen and crashed there, forming a clever angle with the stone wall. Below it, there was also a Star Vein Grass that was shaking slightly.

Even in the sunlight, no one would necessarily notice it, let alone in this dark cave. It seemed like just a coincidence, but also like something had done it deliberately.

As Lin Xiao approached the stone wall, the shaking amplitude of the Star Vein Grass also increased slightly.

Looking closely, it is different from other star vein grasses. The light it emits is inconspicuous, but its body is transparent. Through it, you can see the soil underneath, and the meridians inside are also clearly visible.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, and the Star Vein Grass swayed visibly larger, as if it was afraid, or begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, the next moment, a flash of light appeared on Lin Xiao's left arm, and a cold light flashed in the darkness. There was no trace of the Star Vein Grass on the ground, and even a large piece of soil at the original place had disappeared.

Even if the Star Vein Grass grows in a place where minerals gather, it will take at least ten thousand years for it to absorb the minerals and change itself into crystal.

The Star Vein Grass had been growing for ten thousand years, not to mention that it hadn't yet developed the consciousness of a plant-type soul beast. Those actions just now were simply based on instinct. Even if it was already a plant-type soul beast, Lin Xiao would not show any mercy.

As for its function, you can roughly guess it by looking at the Silver Wolf King before.

Although it is not as good as those magical herbs, the Ten Thousand Year Star Vein Grass is already a rare treasure from heaven and earth. Whether it is a soul beast or a soul master, taking it can greatly improve the strength of the body.

After looking around the cave again and seeing the star vein grass that seemed to be flickering all over the ground, Lin Xiao did not stay for long and turned to walk out of the cave.

He had already obtained the most valuable things, so he decided to leave the rest here for now. He had to go back quickly, otherwise if he left for too long, others would inevitably become suspicious.

Half of the sun had risen in the east, and the morning sunlight fell on the mountains and forests. Micah slowly woke up from meditation, and the three yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings around him were slowly retracted.

"Senior Lin hasn't come back yet?" Micah looked around and asked with some confusion.

"I've been back once." Ma Rulong glanced towards the top of the mountain, a hint of worry in his eyes. He had asked Lin Xiao to go back because he wanted the silver wolf as material. Could he be in danger?
"It should be soon." Lin Jiayi also frowned.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked down the mountain.

"Sorry for the wait."

The light of the storage soul guide in Lin Xiao's hand flashed, and the corpses of more than a dozen thousand-year-old silver wolves were lying in front of him. "I found a few old ones, which took some time."

"It's okay, I'm glad I'm back. Let's take a rest. I still need to look for spirit rings today."

"Good teacher."
