Peerless: The Starry Sky Revival Plan of the Auspicious Beasts

After Jiang Nannan and the others left, Huo Yuqing stayed alone in Cuidanxing to look after the store.

The girl sat behind the counter, with a thick book "Basic Principles of Medicinal Material Combination" in front of her. This book has been read countless times by many people, and the white margins of the pages are filled with dense notes, which are all the insights left by predecessors who have read this book, and are extremely precious.

But she found it difficult to concentrate on reading. The small words on the books were like flies crawling around and could not enter her mind.

When she first arrived at Cuidanxing, she felt nothing, but now, after two weeks of study, Huo Yuqing clearly knew the value of the cabinet of elixirs behind her - it could buy about one-third of Xingluo City.

Although she knew that Jade City was very safe, she still couldn't help but tremble inwardly.

"Why are you worried? Your teacher dared to let you stay in the store by yourself, which means nothing will happen." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who had been silent for two weeks, said lazily, "Do you know how many ten thousand year old soul beasts there are near Cuidanxing? There are quite a few hundred thousand year old soul beasts... Who is tired of living and comes here to cause trouble?"

“Brother Tianmeng, are you awake?” Huo Yuqing was happy to have someone to chat with. “You slept for quite a long time.”

"Brother...brother, it's just a nap, a nap, hey, just a short nap. Anyway, you can't be safer in this place."

"The teacher gave me a Tianshui Pill. After I take it, I should be able to reach level 16." She seemed to be talking to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, or to herself, summarizing her experiences during this period. "Then the teacher promised me that when I break through to level 15, he would help me get a letter of introduction to Shrek Academy... I only recently found out that Wang Rui would also go to Shrek Academy."

"Not bad." Tianmeng Bingcan's voice was sleepy. "This way you can legitimately fight that guy named Dai Huabin... If you can't beat him, just ask Wang Rui to beat him. By the way, you haven't told him about the martial soul fusion technique yet?"

"Yeah." Huo Yuqing responded, "I don't know how to bring this up to him."

"Just say it directly, what's the big deal?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked with a little confusion.

“But I haven’t learned any knowledge about martial souls since I was a child, so I shouldn’t know about martial soul fusion techniques.” Huo Yuqing frowned, feeling a little entangled. “If I bring it up directly, Wang Rui will ask me how I know about martial soul fusion techniques, and I won’t be able to explain it. Didn’t you say that I can’t tell anyone the secret that you are a wisdom soul ring? I don’t want to lie to Wang Rui…”

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "Ah, this..."

Shooting oneself in the foot.jpg

But Wang Rui himself is an insider! How can this kid be so honest!

"I think I will feel the attraction, and Wang Rui will feel it too. No matter what, he knows more than me." Huo Yuqing said hesitantly, "If he hasn't mentioned it yet, he must have his own reasons or something."

"Ahahaha..." Tianmeng Bingcan smiled awkwardly, "Then I'm going to go back to sleep."

Huo Yuqing shook her head. The name Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was definitely something she came up with in her dreams.

But after chatting with Tianmeng for a few minutes, the tension in her heart was relieved a lot.

The girl opened the book and began to study.

When you concentrate on doing something, time always passes quickly. Before you know it, half a day has slipped away.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Huo Yuqing looked up nervously, wondering if the person wanted to buy pills or sell herbs...

If you are selling something and you don’t recognize what the other person is selling and you have to wait for the teacher to come back, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

As a result, the voice came first: "...The key is not that you can't carve the fifth-level energy-gathering array. You haven't officially become a fifth-level soul guide yet, so it's normal to carve it wrong. The problem is that you actually want to put the wrong array into the soul guide. Are you going to blow yourself up when you use it?"

"Oh, yes, yes, ancestor, I know I was wrong. Please stop scolding me. You have been scolding me all the way." A simple and honest voice said weakly.

"If I don't say a few more words, will you remember it?" the former snorted.

Two people dressed strangely walked in.

Walking in front was a young man about 1.7 meters tall.

He was rather thin, with dark brown skin, and wore a sleeveless black high-necked tights on the upper body, and a pair of extremely loose white bloomers on the lower body. He was adorned with all kinds of dazzling gold ornaments... or soul guides that were made to look like gold ornaments.

The young man had long black hair, tied high into a ponytail, but the hair was very strange, and the places where it reflected light would show a blue-green luster... It looked like the shell of some kind of beetle. His facial features were very sharp, and his eyes were upturned, but his expression carried an indescribable melancholy temperament.

The man following behind him was a sturdy man at least two meters tall, with dark skin and a shiny bald head.

In other situations, this guy would definitely be the most difficult person to mess with. But now he was following the young man with his neck shrunk and shoulders slumped, looking like a punching bag.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Huo Yuqing quickly stood up.

"Oh my! It's actually this two thousand year old widower!" Tian Meng, who was going to sleep, suddenly perked up and said in a very gossipy tone, "I didn't expect to see him here!"

"Hehe, this guy is a ferocious beast, but his true form is interesting, a big dung beetle!" The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded mean and asking for a beating.

Huo Yuqing: ...

Try your best to hold back and don't show any strange expression in front of the beast! You can do it!

"He was not born in the Xingdou Great Forest. This guy's hometown is the Jingyang Soul Beast Gathering in the Sun-Moon Empire. Back then, he married a very beautiful human wife in the Sun-Moon Empire, and he always showed off his affection in front of other beasts..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was like a civet sharing melons with his friends, and then he sighed, "Then his wife died, and this guy was depressed for a long time, making himself look like a widower."

"Someone asked me to come and repair the spirit medicine cabinet." The young man glanced at Huo Yuqing, ignoring her strange expression, and said calmly, "I am Wen Qiang, a ninth-level spirit engineer from Xincheng. This is my..."

He frowned and glanced at the sturdy young man beside him. "He is barely an apprentice. His given name is He. It is inconvenient to mention his last name. You can just call him He Cai Tou."

Isn’t this exactly the He Cai Tou in the original book?

Wen Qiang’s lover and partner back then was a talented soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire and also a princess of the Sun-Moon royal family... If you think about it, he should be an ancestor like Cai Tou’s great-uncle.

Huo Yuqing glanced at the tall young man with some sympathy. The latter gave her a helpless smile, obviously having no way to deal with this old ancestor.

"Are you Huo Yuhao?"

Huo Yuqing stared at Wen Qiang in surprise, "How did you know that?"

The young man shrugged and said, "I heard that Lu Mingyou accepted a new apprentice, and someone asked me... He Caitou, go check the soul guide."

"Grandfather, can I repair this thing?" He Caitou hesitated for a moment, "Isn't the elixir cabinet of Cuidanxing a seventh-level soul guide device?"

"It's not at the seventh level. The core magic array of this thing is only at the sixth level. It's just that the environment in each drawer is different. There are many low-level magic arrays connected in series. The structure is very complicated, so it can barely be classified as a seventh level." Wen Qiang waved his hand, "Go check and see where it's broken. If you can fix it, fix it. If you can't, I'll help you."

"Brother He, this way." Huo Yuqing hurriedly came out from behind the counter and made room for He Caitou.

She was very curious about the soul guide device and stood outside on tiptoe to watch He Caitou dismantle the outer shell of the alchemy cabinet.

"Huo Yuhao, do you want to learn soul guides as well?"

“Isn’t this bad…?” Huo Yuqing said hesitantly, “I’m still learning how to make medicine… Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘You can’t chew too much when you’re greedy’?”

"Tsk, refining medicine." Wen Qiang laughed disdainfully. "Refining medicine, isn't it just a matter of memorizing the prescription and the herbs, and then copying them? The refining process also requires the use of a soul guide, which is very simple."

He looks exactly like the kind of science teacher who mocks the humanities for just rote memorization.

The door of Cuidanxing was pushed open again. Lu Mingyou and Wang Rui came back, but Jiang Nannan did not follow them. She stayed at home to take care of Yanzhi who had just finished molting.

"What did you say can be learned by just copying and memorizing? Say it again to me." The healing spirit master had a smile on his face, but he seemed to be emitting a black aura from the underworld.

"I'm talking about refining medicine." Wen Qiang said lazily, "Don't look at me like that. It's tiring enough for me to teach this idiot."

He Caitou shrank his neck very consciously.

"If no one asks me to, I don't want to teach anyone else."

"...Is that the one?" Lu Mingyou asked in surprise.

Being able to ask this fierce beast that has been rated as a ninth-level soul mentor to come out and recruit students... It must be a lucky beast! She resisted the urge to turn around and look at Wang Rui who was following behind her.

Does the auspicious beast really value its little disciple so much?

"That's right..." Wen Qiang turned to Huo Yuqing, "Don't stare at Lu Mingyou. If you want to learn this soul guide, you can learn it. You don't have to consider what others think."

"Well, it's not bad to learn it." Wang Rui said, "Yuhao, think about it, if you want to make medicine in the future, you will definitely need various soul guides. If you learn it, you can do it yourself. In addition, your martial soul lacks offensive means in the early stage, and some long-range soul guides can make up for your shortcomings."

As for the problem of biting off more than you can chew...that is something mediocre people need to consider. A true genius is always a jack of all trades.

For example, Alex, an old man who is thousands of years younger than Wang Rui, has already begun studying the information about soul guides in Wang Rui's mind.

Wang Rui always felt that it wouldn't be long before he would be able to see a bone dragon flying in the sky with a soul-guided or magic-guided cannon mounted on its back.

Today is a 3,000-word eel...

Wen Qiang, an Egyptian-style soul mentor beast (?)

His wife's soul is waiting to be resurrected in the hands of the auspicious beast, and he can only obey obediently, hehehe...

Sharp comments from relatives and friends: What color is your dung beetle? Is it white? Can it climb stairs?

I won't!!!!!

Chapter 43: Trying to Fusion the Martial Soul

43.

2023-10-31

Huo Yuqing began a more arduous learning journey.

She took the Tianshui Pill, and her soul power steadily increased to level 16. Her meridians were widened by the power of the Tianshui Pill, becoming stronger, her talent was greatly improved, and her cultivation speed increased by five or six times.

The effect of Tianshui Dan is stronger than that of Xuanshui Dan. The most precious thing about it is that its medicinal power does not fully work at once. When the body's absorption of the medicinal power reaches its limit, the remaining mild medicinal power will be stored in the meridians, just like real spring water, which will keep warming and nourishing the meridians.

Coupled with Lu Mingyou's continuous improvement of herbal diet, Huo Yuqing's nutritional deficiencies in her childhood were also well supplemented. After one month, she grew a full centimeter taller.

The little girl now gets up in the morning to recite the theory of herbal medicine compatibility with Lu Mingyou and learn to identify some rarer medicines. In the afternoon, she goes to the soul guide store opened by Xincheng in Cuiyu City to learn soul guides from Wen Qiang.

Wen Qiang...this guy has his own special way of teaching: starting with dismantling.

During these two weeks, in addition to learning the most basic theoretical knowledge of soul guides, Huo Yuqing disassembled almost all types of soul guides he could see.

From auxiliary soul guides to combat soul guides, long-range and close-range, she had a great time dismantling them. Even some less dangerous level seven soul guides could not escape her clutches.

However, on the mainland, soul guides in most academies teach their apprentices to start from forging metal, learning to make the outer shell, then the inner shell, and finally learning to carve the core magic array. After mastering everything, they begin to assemble and design their own soul guides.

Wen Qiang did the opposite. He first asked Huo Yuqing to dismantle a large number of soul guides made by different people, summarize a set of ideas for designing soul guides, and then learn how to engrave core magic arrays and build the inner and outer shells of soul guides.

No matter which college this teaching method is from, everyone would call it heresy.

As for the first step in making a soul guide for ordinary soul guides, refining metal...

Wen Qiang said that any serious soul engineer should skip this step. He didn’t know about other places, but when Xincheng made soul guides, it would directly provide smelted metals or even melted alloys.

Every profession has its specialties, okay? A soul engineer can just shape the metal into the shape he wants, so what's the use of the hammer?

Not a blacksmith.

His teaching method is very suitable for geniuses who are good at summarizing and finding their own ideas, but it is completely unsuitable for ordinary people.

Huo Yuqing's little brain was really good in this regard. This method allowed her to form her own unique thinking and understanding early on. If it were another ordinary eleven-year-old child, the child would probably have been ruined by him.

Compared with Huo Yuqing who was making smooth progress, Wang Rui's situation was not very good.

The magic taught by Alex belongs to another completely unfamiliar system, and Wang Rui has lived in Douluo for more than 10,000 years, and certain ways of using power have become deep-rooted instincts. In addition, the laws between the two worlds are also completely different, so Wang Rui encountered a lot of difficulties in the process of learning magic.

The first thing to do is to figure out the conversion between magic and soul power.

But magic is ultimately a way of wielding power, and the power in each world is the same... Unlike the soul master's power which comes directly with its own attributes, magic is closer to commanding the elements in the air through mental force, specific spells and inscriptions.
