Chapter 214 - 70

Chapter 70: Departure and ArrangementsYe Feng nodded, not surprised by her conclusion.Although the medicinal efficacy of the Immortal Herb was powerful.However, the atavism of a Spirit Beast was inherently much rarer than the Spirit evolution of a Spirit Master.In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, backed by the Life Lake, he had never seen any Spirit Beast undergo atavism.Not to mention that Yaoguang's atavism was into an Ice Phoenix.For reasons unknown, perhaps related to the Dragon God, phoenixes on Douluo Continent were extremely scarce. There had been no legends about phoenixes on the continent for a long time, and they might have already gone extinct.Spirit Beasts possessing phoenix bloodlines were even fewer, and even if they existed, their bloodlines were extremely thin.Ye Feng felt that for Yaoguang to successfully achieve atavism, even if it was only half-atavism, she had struck extremely good luck.After answering all her doubts, Ye Feng escorted Xiao Wu to the door.Xiao Wu left, though it was unknown whether she was returning to Shrek Academy or heading straight to the Star Dou Great Forest.But none of this had anything to do with Ye Feng.He returned to the courtyard and found Jinling.Previously, he hadn't thought too much about it, simply assuming Jinling was relatively special.But after his conversation with Xiao Wu, Ye Feng found that he could no longer quite figure Jinling out.If she were a human, it would be impossible to only possess a single spirit ring.If she were a Spirit Beast, how could she possess a spirit ring?Ye Feng held Jinling in his arms and sat on a wooden chair.Although Jinling was puzzled, she happily rubbed against Ye Feng's chin out of closeness to her master.Ye Feng used his mental force to probe into Jinling's body, seeing meridians that were vastly different from those of humans.Without a doubt, the Spirit Beast bloodline within Jinling was very powerful and held an absolute upper hand, while the human bloodline probably only served to maintain her humanoid form.Then, only two possibilities remained: either Jinling was already a new species, or Spirit Beasts were inherently capable of condensing spirit rings, just without knowing the specific method.Whichever possibility it was seemed rather unimaginable.But Ye Feng did not favor the first guess; Jinling was not the only Spirit Master on Douluo Continent whose body was affected by an awakened Spirit.Yet they could still cultivate normally, acquire spirit rings, and were no different from ordinary people.As for the second one, it was much more rational. Spirit Beasts were called Spirit Beasts precisely because they produced spirit rings upon death.It could be said that Spirit Beasts inherently possessed spirit rings, but had no way to manifest them during their lifetime.However, there was no evidence proving that Spirit Beasts could not condense—no, manifest spirit rings during their lifetime.Perhaps as long as one found the right method, it could be achieved.To verify this guess, Ye Feng asked Jinling."The feeling when condensing a spirit ring, hmm~, it felt as if something was being stripped from within the body and then returned to oneself."Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly as he recounted the method described by Xiao Wu—extracting the origin to condense a spirit ring—to Jinling."Emm, according to Master, the method for condensing a spirit ring that Xiao Wu and I use is indeed very similar, but she divides her origin into six parts to condense spirit rings separately.""Whereas I directly use my entire origin to condense a single spirit ring."Ye Feng corrected:"To be precise, it should be condensing the spirit ring using only the portion of the origin related to farm spirit rings."Origin was the foundation of a person; if all of it was used to condense a spirit ring, the person would cease to exist.The theory had completed its closed loop, and next remained only practice.But Ye Feng did not plan to continue; mainly because a Spirit Beast condensing a spirit ring was of no real use, acting merely as a decoration.Furthermore, he could not find an experimental subject, as the only Spirit Beast by his side was Yaoguang.Could he possibly make Yaoguang his experimental subject?Well, the doubts surrounding Jinling had been basically cleared up, but for Jinling and Ye Feng, not much had changed.It was just a bit regrettable that Jinling would probably only ever have a single spirit ring in her lifetime....Time flew by, and a week had passed in the blink of an eye.Ye Feng lay on a wooden chair, with Jinling sitting on the adjacent wooden chair.Zhu Zhuqing walked out from the house. At this moment, her hair was damp, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her expression relaxed, looking just like someone who had just finished a bath.In fact, that was correct; she had just consumed whale gum and taken a bath by the way.Zhu Zhuqing was very glad that a month ago, she had agreed to Ning Rongrong's proposal.Over the past month, through the baptism of whale gum and Ye Feng's training, her strength had nearly doubled.She had also witnessed the strength of Ye Feng's "students"; it could be said that every single one of them, including Ning Rongrong, could effortlessly suppress and beat her.However, she was not discouraged at all, because she knew she would also receive Ye Feng's guidance.Therefore, she was filled with yearning and expectation for the future.Filled with expectation, Zhu Zhuqing came to Ye Feng's side.At this time, Ye Feng also noticed Zhu Zhuqing."I am going out for a trip, which will take at least half a year. During this time, help me take good care of Linger."A few days ago, Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because she was homesick and wanted to go back to take a look.Ye Feng expressed his understanding of this.Before leaving, Ye Feng handed the wooden box containing the qiluo tulip to Ning Rongrong.He was not devoid of emotion either; a year of getting along had allowed him to completely accept Ning Rongrong and treat her as his friend.Although the qiluo tulip was precious, it also required the right person to consume it.Moreover, he wouldn't lose out; Ye Feng never did business at a loss.Returning to the topic, because of Ning Rongrong's departure, Ye Feng could only entrust Jinling to Zhu Zhuqing's care.Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised and nodded with a serious expression."Master, I promise, unless I die, I will definitely protect Jinling's safety."Seeing her tense expression, Ye Feng chuckled and said:"You don't need to be so nervous either. If you really encounter any insoluble matters, go to the Dugu Mansion to find Dugu Bo. Rest assured, I've already greeted him."Zhu Zhuqing nodded. She knew about the alliance between the three families, so she wasn't surprised.Afterwards, Ye Feng took out a narcissus jade muscle bone from his spirit tool and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.In the original work, this was the exact Immortal Herb that Zhu Zhuqing consumed.Ye Feng had also wanted to select an Immortal Herb suitable for her, but there were no Nether-attribute or Darkness-attribute Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.He had no choice but to settle for second best and found another narcissus jade muscle bone.Originally, Ye Feng wanted to observe Zhu Zhuqing for a bit longer, but after thinking about it, it was somewhat unnecessary.She had already sworn never to betray him, and being all alone, she simply had no reason to betray him.Furthermore, for things like Immortal Herbs, the earlier they were consumed, the better."Master, this is?""An Immortal Herb. You can ask Linger for the specific consumption method and effects."Zhu Zhuqing nodded without asking too much and put away the Immortal Herb.Ye Feng cast his gaze toward Jinling once more, gently stroking her ears as he comforted her:"Linger, be a good girl at home, I will be back soon."Although Jinling was reluctant to part, being sensible, she did not want to put her master in a difficult position. Thus, she buried her head in Ye Feng's embrace and muffled:"Master must come back quickly.""Mn."...Ye Feng left Heaven Dou City once more.His departure this time was mainly to go to Slaughter City to acquire the Slaughter God Domain.Ever since his battle with Tang Hao ended, he had deeply realized the importance of a Domain.While within the Slaughter God Domain, one's strength would be reduced by 10%, while the user's strength would be increased by 110%.As the Spirit grew or slaughter accumulated, the weakening and amplification ratio could reach up to 20%.During the battle, Ye Feng clearly felt the weakening of his strength, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.Attacks felt like hitting cotton, with a portion of the force being stripped away with every punch.Without a Domain, if he encountered him again in the future, he would be at a great disadvantage.
