From the moment he became the Blue Silver Emperor of Douluo Continent

"Sorry, I didn't come here to hunt souls."

Shi Yin refused Ning Fengzhi's request to help him hunt souls; he was indeed not there to hunt souls.

"I'm rather curious, what is Young Master Ning here for?"

The Star Dou Great Forest is not safe. Even with the protection of a Soul Douluo-level expert, it is not foolproof.

As the future sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Young Master Ning wouldn't risk his own safety, would he?

He asked rhetorically.

"There's nothing I can't say. My talent is no match for you, little brother. I just broke through level 60. I'm here to hunt souls."

He just acquired his sixth spirit ring.

As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he released his martial soul, and a small seven-story pagoda appeared in his hand, with six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—slowly emerging.

"Young Master Ning, there's no need to belittle yourself. It's common knowledge that support-type Soul Masters cultivate slowly."

For Young Master Ning's age, this cultivation speed is already considered fast among support-type Soul Masters.

Shi Yin offered words of comfort, but he did not refute Ning Fengzhi's compliment.

Even though he has tried his best to appear mature, looking more than ten years older than his actual age.

But compared to his cultivation level, he still appears very young.

Why not act a little young and impetuous?

"Young man, there's no need to comfort me. I know what I'm doing."

Ning Fengzhi was well aware of his own limitations, and besides, he hadn't been putting his full effort into cultivation.

He focused more on inheriting the sect's interpersonal relationships.

As for cultivation level? Anyway, I'll eventually be stuck at level 79, so there's no rush.

"Since you're not here to hunt souls, young brother, then Elder Yang and I are planning to go out. Would you like to come along?"

I know a restaurant with really good food, want to go try it together?

He then said...

If you bring this up, Yin really gets excited.

"Let's go then, it's on me."

Three days later, Shi Yin and Ning Fengzhi had a big meal in a small town near the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest before taking their leave.

After he left, Elder Yang asked Ning Fengzhi, "Young Master, weren't you being too polite to this person? Wouldn't lowering yourself to such a low level damage the reputation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

He remained silent during Ning Fengzhi's conversation with Shi Yin and never interfered with Ning Fengzhi in the slightest.

Even if there are doubts or dissatisfaction in one's heart, one should wait until Shi Yin leaves before asking.

There were no mindless plots from beginning to end, such as Ning Fengzhi bowing down and making friends while Yang Lao suppressed him.

He's not stupid. What would he gain by doing that, besides offending people and creating a potential enemy for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

"That's because his potential is worth it. Don't underestimate him just because he's not strong enough now. What about ten years from now? What about twenty years from now?"

Moreover, perhaps you didn't observe carefully enough, but if you did, you would find that he doesn't seem to be afraid of you, a Soul Douluo.

Given his strength, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the level of a Soul Douluo, yet he still performed like this, demonstrating that he has the confidence to face a Soul Douluo head-on.

Ning Fengzhi said.

"Impossible, right? Maybe that kid just doesn't know his place?" Old Yang retorted.

Ning Fengzhi did not argue with him.

He had a premonition that with this young man's talent, as long as he didn't perish along the way, he would become famous throughout the Douluo Continent sooner or later.

There will be a time when we meet again.

Meanwhile, Shi Yin, who had already walked far away, could not hear the conversation between the two people behind her.

The encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest was merely an accident, and the chance meeting with Ning Fengzhi was just a minor episode.

His target was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which was thousands of miles away.

Fortunately, he didn't run into any trouble on his way to Sunset Forest, otherwise he would have wondered if he had a troublesome constitution.

Two days later, Shi Yin arrived at Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest gets its name from the way the setting sun shines through the forest mist at dusk, turning the entire forest crimson with the glow of the setting sun, making it appear as if the sun has sunk into the forest from a distance.

This place is also a well-known gathering place for large wild soul beasts throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

However, due to its proximity to Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire, one of the two great empires, the number of soul beasts within the Sunset Forest is continuously decreasing.

Especially the high-level soul beasts inside.

Sunset Forest is about one-fifth the size of Starry Sky Forest. The trees are sparsely distributed, and the view is clear, making it easier to traverse than Starry Sky Forest.

For Shi Yin, this place can be considered half home ground, with wild blue silver grass everywhere, supplemented by temperate trees and poisonous plants, making it extremely rich in medicinal resources.

The soul beasts here are mostly hundreds or thousands of years old, while ten-thousand-year soul beasts have become relatively rare due to the accumulated soul hunting efforts of the high-level soul masters in Tiandou City.

Because the growth period of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is particularly long. Although it does not actually require ten thousand years, it is by no means something that can be achieved in just a few decades.

And what about Soul Masters? A few decades is enough for a Soul Master with good talent to cultivate to the level of Soul Saint or above.

Even if we consider a Soul Saint, a Soul Saint needs three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings with the best Soul Ring combination.

This unequal consumption will inevitably lead to a scarcity of high-level soul beasts.

This is not just a problem in Sunset Forest, but a problem that exists throughout the entire Douluo Star.

High-level soul beasts are becoming increasingly rare, and their living conditions are deteriorating.

Ultimately, the Soul Masters will also suffer the consequences of their own actions, because their strength will stagnate if they cannot hunt high-level Soul Beasts.

The underlying rules of this world are unfriendly to soul beasts; human soul masters must go through the process of obtaining soul rings to advance.

Soul rings can only be obtained through hunting souls, just as the underlying rules of the world want to exterminate soul beasts, and soul masters are merely tools of these rules.

As for 100,000-year-old soul beasts, they have never even been heard of in Sunset Forest.

Anyway, no one has ever said that they have encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast here. On the contrary, in the Star Dou Great Forest, there have never been any rumors of encountering 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

How is this environment, with its lush blue silver grass, different from Shi Yin's home?

The Blue Silver Realm has expanded to a vast area, and the evolved Blue Silver Realm is no longer just one form.

He can choose to expand over a wide area, making the most of the blue silver grass in the surrounding environment.

He can also shrink his domain and combine it with the Blue Silver Flower Blooming Soul Skill to make the vines that are generated more resilient and have stronger penetrating power.

At this point, it can also be combined with the third stage of the Blue Silver Domain, the ability of the Myriad Manifestations, to release countless blue-gold threads that devour the enemy's soul power and life force.

He strolled leisurely into the Sunset Forest, where he could see the surrounding area within a radius of more than ten kilometers at a glance.

There are no ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, only a few thousand-year-old soul beasts and a considerable number of hundred-year-old and ten-year-old soul beasts.

The original text only describes the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye as being located deep within the core of Sunset Forest.

It will probably take some time to wander around inside before you can find this secret place.

Shi Yin was mentally prepared; he could just stay here for a few more days if necessary, since he wasn't in a hurry anyway.
