Xiao Yi glanced at a team with armor and weapons; they were offering help in hunting the soul beast. He then ignored them and walked toward the gate.
"Show me your pass." Instantly, the guard stopped him and asked him to show the pass.
Xiao Yi passed the permission letter and said, "Here."
"Why are you alone? Where is your teacher?" The guard glanced at the letter and then asked, looking at Xiao Yi inquiringly,
"My teacher is already waiting for me inside the spirit forest; I was left behind," Xiao Yi replied calmly.
The guard glanced at him suspiciously. After seeing a calm expression on Xiao Yi's face as if he weren't lying, he nodded and then said, "Well, you can go; if you can't find your teacher, then immediately return; don't venture deep in the forest; it's dangerous."
Xiao Yi nodded and then walked inside the forest calmly, passing through the gate.
Looking at the colorful soul beasts around, 'More beautiful the object, more dangerous it is,' then he glanced at the cat sitting on the tree branch.
Instantly, the cat-shaped soul beast stood up alertly looking at Xiao Yi's calm pupil; the next moment its hair stood up and then jumped and ran away.
'Well, those monsters hunting in the previous dimensions are coming handy; they can see the glimpse of deaths through my pupil,' Xiao Yi thought upon glancing at other spirit beasts.
The weak beasts ran away immediately upon feeling his gaze.
After a while,
Xiao Yi stopped beside a pond and said, "Found it. White clover and white lotus both grow inside a clean pond."
Looking at a lot of white clovers at the edge of the pond and a few white lotus in the middle,
Xiao Yi grabbed and threw the stones inside the pond using the force technique.
After a while, seeing no dangerous soul beast pop out from the pond, he sighed in relief.
Then he observed the white lotus, looking at its petal more than two inches long. "It is twenty years old," Xiao Yi muttered, and then glanced at the white water clover at the edge of the pond in the muddy area.
There are three lines in one of the clover leaves: "Three lines in one leaf means it's thirty years old; now which one should I choose?"
"Clover is a single-direction healing plant, but it can regenerate quickly after it's leaf withers, while Lotus can't regenerate but it has huge vitality and hallucinations effect."
Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully,
Then he glanced at the clover at the edge of the pond and chose it.
"The reason is simple: a species that fights at the edge is better than the one that stays in the middle like a coward." Xiao Yi muttered playfully, separating the clover leaves one by one with his knife and then slashing the blade toward the main branch of the clover.
Instantly the knife pierced through the main section, dividing it from the middle, and a white soul ring rose from it.
Xiao Yi nodded, satisfied, then glanced around, seeing a tree beside him. He sat down under the shade after scattering the poison around the tree. He bought the poison from the market before visiting this forest.
'According to the explanation, I should summon the martial spirit and then sense the soul ring,' he thought, and then closed his eyes, raised his hand, and summoned the white ivy.
After a while, the white ring flew toward his martial spirit, and a berserk and angry soul power incorporated in his body. From his arm, it scattered through the meridian and then spread through his whole body.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrow, feeling his physique could easily handle it. 'This clover really died resentfully,' he thought playfully while absorbing the energy and refining it calmly.
After a while,
Pop!!!
Popping sound spread around and Xiao Yi's body shook; his height also increased a little, but Xiao Yi didn't feel any major difference in his body.
"Thirty-year-old soul beast can't effect my strength very much, especially a clover plant," Xiao Yi muttered, opened his eyes, and then raised his hand and summoned the white ivy.
Xiao Yi was surprised looking at the changes in his white ivy.
"It looks like layered rope instead of white ivy martial spirit," Xiao Yi muttered suspiciously.
The main vine of ivy looks a little thin from before, while the spring-like leaves around it transformed into layer-shaped leaves covering those thin vines.
"Probably the spring-shaped leaves disappeared; that's why it looks like white fiber rope with layers now." Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully and then used his first soul skill. He awakened after absorbing the clover.
He slashed his finger and, cutting it with a knife, blood spurted out; instantly, the white Ivy martial spirit flashed and rotated around his finger, covering it.
First Soul Skill: Leaf Healing
Xiao Yi raised his brow and saw the main vine of Ivy disappear and leave behind its flat layer like a leaf covering his finger injury. His bleeding stopped, and the injury started healing up slowly.
"It will take around one and a half hours to completely heal this wound fully, probably about 100 minutes." Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully. After observing the speed of healing for a while, he could see the injury through the light leaf layer on his finger.
After retracting his martial spirit, Xiao Yi glanced at the leaf layer on his finger, which didn't disappear.
"It seems the separated leaf layer is not connected to the martial spirit," Xiao Yi thought, then he sensed the soul power in his body, which is increased to eleventh level, and five percent have been reduced after using the first soul skill.
"I can use this skill only twenty times." Xiao Yi muttered throughtfully,
'What if I cover my whole body with this layer? I will look like the mummy in bandage armor.' He thought funnily and then glanced around and started walking toward the outside forest.
