The grandfather and granddaughter followed the little unicorn for quite a while, eventually arriving at a valley deep within the forest. The air here was damp and filled with the scent of flowers, mixed with the earthy aroma of soil and grass. Not far up the hillside, vast patches of Blue Silver Grass stretched out, full of life.
A gentle breeze passed through, causing the Blue Silver Grass to sway, rippling like waves on a sea. A small stream flowed down from the mountains, its water clear as glass, revealing the colorful riverbed below. Some of the "stones" in the stream suddenly moved, then froze in place—it was actually small Soul Beast fish.
Along the stream, a few unicorns of various sizes drank water or played. Besides the Holy Light Unicorns, there were a few other Soul Beasts, some strong, some weak, but only a handful.
The little unicorn at Qian Renyue's side ran toward a nearby adult unicorn, whimpering as if telling it about the ordeal it and its mother had suffered.
"Yueyue, don't leave my side. That is an eighty-thousand-year Holy Light Unicorn, likely the mate of the unicorn that sacrificed itself for you. If it doesn't understand and insists on attacking, I can protect you." Qian Daoliu quietly activated his Soul Power. There were many Soul Beasts here, including some ten-thousand-year ones. Though he didn't see them as a threat, he couldn't allow his little granddaughter to be harmed.
The eighty-thousand-year unicorn listened to the story of its child, let out a mournful cry to the sky, licked its child, and then stepped toward Qian Renyue and Qian Daoliu.
The unicorn stopped before the two and nodded, turning to signal them to follow. Qian Daoliu hesitated. Though unicorns were naturally gentle, Soul Beasts and humans were inherently enemies.
"No need to follow. Her mother sacrificed herself for my Yueyue. Yueyue saved her child and returned it. Now everything is settled between us. Take care, farewell!" Qian Daoliu said, preparing to leave with Qian Renyue. They still had to find her second Soul Ring.
Since Yueyue's first Soul Ring was obtained from a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast through sacrifice, perhaps the second could also exceed expectations—not necessarily a hundred-year Soul Ring; maybe a thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year one.
Hearing this, the unicorn became anxious. It pressed its horn against Qian Renyue's forehead, seemingly communicating something.
After about the time of a tea break, Qian Renyue looked at the concerned Qian Daoliu and said:"Grandpa, this unicorn wants to take us somewhere where I can obtain a high-quality second Soul Ring. It knows its wife sacrificed herself so I could save her child. It heard the story from its child, is very grateful, and wants to help me get the second Soul Ring as a reward."
Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment, then asked:"Yueyue, what do you think?"
"Grandpa, I trust this unicorn. It's sincere, and its power feels gentle and comforting. Let's go see."
"Very well. Since you trust it, I'll go with you."
Qian Daoliu carried Qian Renyue as they followed the unicorn pair deeper into the valley. A large tree with countless hanging branches swayed in the wind. Fireflies of several colors danced in the air. The bright moon shone overhead, casting a silver glow over everything. Qian Renyue couldn't help but exclaim at the scene—nature was truly wondrous.
The unicorn stopped beneath the tree. Qian Renyue saw a lily unlike any she had sought before. On its petals was a golden butterfly, and its pistil glowed faint pink. The entire lily radiated a platinum light.
"A ten-thousand-year Falling Moon Golden Butterfly Lily!" Qian Daoliu exclaimed.
Qian Renyue jumped down from her grandfather's arms, crouched before the lily, and gently touched its petals. She had always loved lilies; to her, they symbolized elegance, purity, and solemnity, like her faith in the Angel God.
The unicorn pressed its horn to Qian Renyue's forehead again. "Do you want me to let you absorb this Falling Moon Golden Butterfly Lily?"
The unicorn nodded, nudging her gently, urging her not to delay.
Qian Renyue looked back at her grandfather. Seeing him nod, she sat cross-legged before the lily.
"How should I absorb it?" she asked the unicorn.
The unicorn instructed her to first consume the pistil, then the petals—one by one—explaining that the essence was all contained there.
Qian Renyue followed its instructions, consuming the lily and channeling her Soul Power.
Being a ten-thousand-year item, the Lily's medicinal effect was extraordinary. Under its influence, impurities in Qian Renyue's body were gradually expelled, and a black Soul Ring began to materialize nearby.
After roughly the time of a burning incense stick, Qian Renyue slowly opened her eyes. Suddenly, she smelled a foul odor and looked at herself—her white dress had turned black, and the stench came from her body.
She screamed and hurriedly asked the unicorn to take her to bathe, flying off. Qian Daoliu chuckled, shaking his head at his little granddaughter.
After bathing and changing into a new dress, Qian Renyue returned to her usual charming self.
"Handsome grandpa, after absorbing the Falling Moon Golden Butterfly Lily, my Soul Power has stabilized at Level 28. Two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings plus the lily's medicinal effect accelerated my Soul Power growth." Qian Renyue happily told her grandfather her current Soul Power level.
"Your Soul Power has increased so much. Yueyue, this opportunity is indeed rare, but don't get carried away. Soul Power growth must be steady; a solid foundation allows you to go further," Qian Daoliu said, both amazed and pleased.
"Yes, handsome grandpa, don't worry. I understand," Qian Renyue replied.
Qian Renyue then took out a crown-like item from her Soul Guidance Device, emitting a pale blue light and smooth like jade.
"A Soul Bone?" Qian Daoliu asked in astonishment.
"Yes, handsome grandpa. This appeared when the unicorn mother sacrificed herself. I was in a hurry to save the unicorn baby, so I stored it first. It seems to be a head Soul Bone."
Qian Daoliu patted Qian Renyue's head in relief:"Your Soul Power is rising so quickly. This head Soul Bone, from the same Soul Beast as your first Soul Ring, will help you significantly. Absorb it when you reach Level 30."
Qian Renyue nodded: "Alright, handsome grandpa. Now that all Soul Rings are obtained, next is to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to take a master, right?"
"Yes!" Qian Daoliu sighed. Children grow up; even fledglings must eventually leave the nest.
Thinking about soon parting from her grandfather, Qian Renyue felt a tinge of sadness. But she quickly rallied. To protect her sister, her mother, and her grandfather, she had to become stronger.
There was one thing she had never told anyone: since the day her Martial Soul awakened, she felt that somewhere, her lifelong enemy was also awakening their Martial Soul. This person would one day bring ruin to the Martial Soul Hall and harm her mother and sister. This strengthened her resolve to grow stronger.
Qian Daoliu bid farewell to the unicorn pair with Qian Renyue, promising the little unicorn he would visit in the future. Then, carrying Qian Renyue, he flew toward Tiandou City.
