**Chapter 46 Go to the Worship Hall**
"Really?"
"Little brother, did you finally have a breakthrough?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Bibi Dong, who was standing beside him, also expressed her surprise.
Now 12 years old, her Soul Power had greatly improved compared to two years ago; she was now a level 32 Soul Elder.
"Yes, teacher, elder sister!"
"I've now surpassed level 20."
Gu Ziyi smiled and admitted.
"Well, not bad, Xiaoyi, you finally made progress!"
Qian Xunji nodded upon hearing this, his tone carried a hint of satisfaction, though it wasn't much of a surprise to him.
Up until now, compared to Gu Ziyi's unsatisfactory cultivation talent in Soul Power, what Qian Xunji admired most was Gu Ziyi's mastery and research into Martial Souls.
Half a year ago, Gu Ziyi made a conjecture with him, which has now been confirmed.
The conjecture was about the union between two Soul Masters. The children born to them were not only closely related to the parents' level of Soul Power and the innate level of Soul Power and quality of the Martial Soul, but also greatly affected by the attributes of both parents' Martial Souls.
The previous points had long been known in the world of Soul Masters. It was Gu Ziyi who proposed that the attributes of both parents' Martial Souls could also affect the quality of their children.
His conjecture was that the closer the Martial Soul attributes between the parents, the better it would be for the offspring. On the contrary, if the Martial Soul attributes between the father and mother were too different, there would be situations where the Martial Souls would be incompatible with each other, resulting in the offspring's Martial Souls undergoing a harmful mutation or the quality of the Martial Soul being reduced.
For example, for a Soul Master with a high-level Martial Soul, if the Martial Soul attributes of their spouse conflicted directly with their Martial Soul's attributes, their descendants would inherit the stronger Martial Soul of the couple, but the quality of the Martial Soul would not be the same—it would degrade.
This conjecture was proposed by Gu Ziyi half a year ago. After Qian Xunji heard it, he felt it was very likely to be true.
Because Soul Masters also have attribute restrictions in battle, but no one had ever associated this with the pairing of Soul Masters.
Gu Ziyi's insight and analytical ability immediately made him think that he had solved the problem of Tang Yuehua's inability to practice cultivation.
It seemed that his disciple's demonstration of intelligence hadn't occurred by chance.
However, though he thought it was correct when he heard Gu Ziyi's conjecture, Qian Xunji still asked others under his command to collect the necessary information, integrate it, and verify its feasibility. The results proved that Gu Ziyi's guess was right.
If you want your offspring to be better, you must find a spouse with Martial Soul attributes similar to your own!
"Don't worry, Xiaoyi, the teacher will arrange for someone to help you find the most suitable Soul Ring!"
Thinking about Gu Ziyi's excellent performance in researching Martial Souls, Qian Xunji quickly promised to help him find the best Soul Ring possible.
"Teacher, there's no need!"
"I already have my own second Soul Ring!"
After hearing Qian Xunji's words, Gu Ziyi quickly spoke up.
Buzz—
As he finished speaking, he also directly summoned his Martial Soul.
A talisman appeared in Gu Ziyi's right palm, possessing two Soul Rings, one white and one yellow.
"When did you attach the second Soul Ring?"
Qian Xunji was a bit surprised to see this and quickly sensed Gu Ziyi's second Soul Ring.
Then his expression turned slightly grim: "It's of low quality; it should be about 100 to 200 years of cultivation. Xiaoyi, who helped you attach this Soul Ring to your Martial Soul?"
Qian Xunji was very angry at this moment. Although he wasn't too worried about Gu Ziyi's cultivation, he wouldn't allow anyone else to place such a low-quality Soul Ring on his disciple.
He didn't believe that Gu Ziyi had gone out to search for a Soul Ring himself. He was merely an auxiliary-type Soul Master. Even though he had learned some self-created soul skills, he still couldn't defeat a hundred-year-old Soul Beast head-on.
After all, those self-created soul skills were just some simple uses of Soul Power.
Moreover, there weren't just Soul Beasts in the Soul Beast Forests. He didn't believe Gu Ziyi had gone there alone.
"Little brother, aren't you a bit too quick?"
"When I saw you yesterday, you hadn't succeeded yet. How did you get a Soul Ring so fast?"
Bibi Dong also looked at Gu Ziyi in surprise.
Although she didn't accompany him during most of his study time after he made the advanced Heart-Purifying Curse Talisman, she still visited him often.
"Teacher, no one helped me; this is a Soul Ring that I condensed myself!"
Seeing Qian Xunji's concerned and angry expression, Gu Ziyi quickly explained the origin of his Soul Ring.
"What? You hunted it yourself?"
"...Wait a minute, you said you condensed it yourself?"
Qian Xunji didn't react at first, but then his eyes widened.
"Yes, teacher!"
"My Soul Ring wasn't hunted from any Soul Beast; I condensed it myself."
Gu Ziyi looked at Qian Xunji and calmly explained.
"What?"
"Little brother, what did you say?"
"A self-condensed Soul Ring?"
"Can a Soul Ring really be condensed on its own?"
Hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Bibi Dong was the first to exclaim. She had forgotten the questions that Qian Xunji and Gu Ziyi had discussed years ago during their first lesson together.
Then she rushed over and examined his second Soul Ring, trying to find any differences.
"Xiaoyi, are you telling the truth?"
Qian Xunji continued asking in disbelief.
"Yes, teacher, I just broke through the bottleneck yesterday and haven't even left the Martial Soul Hall yet!"
"Not only is my second Soul Ring self-condensed, but my first Soul Ring was also self-condensed!"
Now that he had spoken up, Gu Ziyi didn't hide the fact that his first Soul Ring was also self-condensed.
"Aah..."
Bibi Dong's eyes widened again.
"…"
Qian Xunji was also shocked by the news. Since Gu Ziyi had told them, it could only be the truth.
Bibi Dong confirmed that when she saw him yesterday, he hadn't made any major breakthroughs, and as he claimed, he hadn't left the Martial Soul Hall. She also believed he wouldn't lie to his teacher about this.
So, what he said had to be true.
"No wonder you asked me about self-condensed Soul Rings when you first came here!"
"How did you do it? Hasn't the method for self-condensing Soul Rings been lost for a long time?"
After a while, Qian Xunji calmed down a bit and asked Gu Ziyi in surprise.
"Yes, yes, little brother, how did you do it?"
Bibi Dong couldn't wait to ask more questions.
After hearing her teacher's words, she also remembered that Gu Ziyi and the teacher had discussed self-condensed Soul Rings.
"Wait a minute, let's go to the Elder's Hall to discuss!"
Just as Gu Ziyi was about to explain, Qian Xunji immediately interrupted.
He definitely planned to report this matter to his father later, so Qian Xunji thought it best to take Gu Ziyi directly to see his father, where they could discuss the details there!
