Chapter 92: Naive Ah Yin
When Qi Tian discovered Ah Yin's identity, the system's task prompt appeared right on time.
[Current Mission: Change Ah Yin's fate of sacrificing herself to Tang Hao.]
[Stage Reward: Cultivating in Ah Yin's body allows soul power to be fed back to the original body.]
[Final Reward: [Blue Silver Emperor Spirit]. The host's Blue Silver King spirit will awaken again as the Blue Silver Emperor spirit!]
"The person I possessed this time really is Ah Yin!"
Qi Tian checked Ah Yin's current soul power and found she was already level 50, but had not yet condensed a soul ring to break through to Soul King.
For a 100,000-year soul beast to take human form, it must go through three stages: infancy, maturity, and the Nascent Soul stage.
Before breaking through to Soul Emperor, they are in the nascent stage. They can condense their own soul rings to break through bottlenecks, but Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo can see through their identity.
Transformed soul beasts are in the most dangerous situation at this stage.
Because nascent transformed soul beasts are far weaker than before transformation, yet the soul ring and soul bone obtained from killing them are still 100,000 years old.
Moreover, they need to interact with human geniuses and absorb their "human energy" to improve cultivation and enter the mature stage as quickly as possible.
Ah Yin was currently in this extremely dangerous stage.
Qi Tian thought for a moment, then decided to scare her first. "Heh, I didn't expect to be so lucky, actually running into a transformed soul beast!"
Ah Yin was startled when her identity was exposed. "What… what are you going to do?"
"What else? Of course I'm going to control your body, take you to Spirit Hall, and offer your soul ring and soul bone to me!" Qi Tian said viciously.
With that, he got up and pretended to leave.
"No!" Ah Yin panicked.
She had lived in human society for more than ten years, always cultivating with extreme caution.
She hadn't even participated in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, terrified her identity would be exposed.
Yet just after graduating, she was possessed by Qi Tian. She was so frightened she completely lost her composure.
"What? If you're afraid of dying, why dare wander around the human world?" Qi Tian asked.
Ah Yin said helplessly, "We nascent transformed soul beasts need to interact with humans to improve our cultivation."
"Then why not stay in an intermediate or advanced Soul Master Academy to cultivate?" Qi Tian continued.
Most advanced academy deans are only Soul Emperor or Soul Sage.
Only the imperial academies have Contra-level experts to maintain order. Ah Yin could safely cultivate to maturity inside an academy.
"I… I saw other human Soul Masters go out to train and adventure across the continent after graduation, so I wanted to try it too!"
"Moreover…" As the Blue Silver Emperor, she had her own unique traits.
As long as she didn't want to die, it wasn't easy for others to kill her; that was the source of her confidence to travel the continent.
She never expected to be caught by Qi Tian so soon after starting her journey. She was filled with regret.
Being killed and voluntarily sacrificing herself were two different things. She wasn't afraid of death, but she was terrified of voluntary sacrifice.
However, Ah Yin did not reveal this secret, fearing Qi Tian would use it against her.
Qi Tian was somewhat speechless and asked, "Where are we right now?"
Ah Yin was stunned, thinking, "Is this guy lost?"
She secretly rejoiced, planning to lead Qi Tian in circles until his strange ability wore off, then escape.
"We're in the Star Luo Empire right now…"
Before she finished, Qi Tian cut her off. "No, we should be in the far north of Heaven Dou Empire right now!"
He had been to Star Luo Empire before; the climates of the two countries were clearly different. You could even see snow-capped mountains here. How could this be Star Luo?
"I guess we're in the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom right now, aren't we?" Qi Tian asked.
Ah Yin was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected this guy to be so difficult to fool; he saw through her lie instantly.
After confirming the location, Qi Tian headed southeast at full speed.
"Where are you taking me?" Ah Yin asked anxiously.
She was terrified Qi Tian would really take her to be sacrificed. In that case, she would rather not take human form and wait another thousand years to face heavenly tribulation!
"To Spirit City!" Qi Tian threatened.
Sure enough, the moment Ah Yin heard "Spirit City," she fell into complete despair.
Even as a soul beast, she knew that was the holy land of human soul masters, filled with experts who could see through her identity.
"Please let me go…" Her voice was already trembling with tears, like a frightened little girl.
Qi Tian wasn't actually taking her to Spirit City, but to Heaven Dou City.
Now that he had returned to the past, Qi Tian wanted to check if the Immortal Herbs in the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye were still there.
If they were, he wanted to try taking them away himself and see whether the ones he transplanted would disappear years later.
If not, he could get another batch of free herbs.
Moreover, giving Ah Yin an Immortal Herb would let her break through to level sixty as quickly as possible.
Once she reached maturity, her aura would become indistinguishable from a human's, greatly reducing the chance of her identity being discovered.
Ah Yin was filled with anxiety as Qi Tian controlled her body and traveled at full speed for an entire day.
Only late at night did she finally regain control.
Ah Yin patted her chest in relief. "Thank goodness, he can only control me for one day?"
"Thankfully the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom is far from Spirit City, otherwise I'd be done for! But how exactly is he controlling me?"
Ah Yin was a little scared and decided to stay far away from Spirit City to avoid falling into the same trap again.
"Go back to the Blue Silver Forest? No, it's too close to Spirit City. Traveling at full speed, he could reach it in a day!"
"I've heard Heaven Dou City is very prosperous. I've never been there before, so I'll go take a look this time!"
Heaven Dou City was thousands of miles from Spirit City, so she felt safer staying far away.
Although Heaven Dou City had no shortage of high-level Soul Masters, she wasn't too afraid; after all, she was the Blue Silver Emperor. Like wildfire that cannot be extinguished, she would spring back to life with the spring breeze.
Qi Tian had no idea that the lie he casually told would actually lead Ah Yin straight to his intended destination.
A few days later, Qi Tian possessed Ah Yin's body again and was pleasantly surprised to find they had already arrived near Heaven Dou City.
Moreover, Ah Yin's cultivation had broken through to level fifty-one, making her a Soul King.
"What a pity!"
Qi Tian didn't understand soul-beast cultivation and didn't know how to condense a soul ring, thus wasting that level of soul power.
When Ah Yin woke up, she felt a pain in her chest along with a strange sensation, and her body was once again out of her control.
She knew that mysterious person had taken over again.
However, this time Ah Yin wasn't too panicked because this place was far from Spirit City.
Qi Tian arrived at a familiar location, went out the city gate, and headed toward Sunset Forest with practiced ease.
He had walked the path to the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye many times and knew exactly which route had fewer soul beasts and was safest.
So along the way, Qi Tian was not harassed or attacked by any soul beasts.
