Xiao Wu quietly stayed beside Su Ming, feeling a bit shocked. She hadn't expected Su Ming's wood element to have such a searching ability.
Quickly, through the feedback from the surrounding vegetation, Su Ming learned the location of the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor resided. He also discovered where Tang Hao had hidden the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.
Su Ming decided to first try to persuade Ah Yin to become his spirit soul and provide his fourth spirit ring. As for the spirit bone, he'd retrieve it later since Tang Hao's mark was left there, and once taken, Tang Hao would immediately sense it.
Holding Xiao Wu's hand, Su Ming arrived at the cave on the back mountain and entered.
Although Xiao Wu knew what Su Ming intended to do, she still curiously asked, "Su Ming-ge, are you sure you can get your fourth spirit ring here? This place is so remote and damp, not really suitable for spirit beasts to cultivate."
Su Ming nodded, indicating he knew, but there was no choice—Ah Yin really was here. Damn Tang Hao!
"Xiao Wu, there's an underdeveloped Blue Silver Emperor here. I'll try to convince it to become my spirit soul."
Xiao Wu nodded as if she understood.
Soon, Su Ming spotted an unusual Blue Silver Grass not far inside the cave. Its leaves had blue and golden stripes, clearly marking it as the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. Nearby, a few ordinary Blue Silver Grass plants grew sparsely.
Suppressing his excitement, Su Ming brought Xiao Wu to stand before the Blue Silver Emperor.
But now he was faced with a dilemma—how should he communicate with Ah Yin?
Nonetheless, Su Ming decided to give it a try. After all, Ah Yin wasn't just any Blue Silver Grass; she was a reincarnated cultivator and should understand his words.
He then expressed his intentions, explaining what a spirit soul was and its benefits to spirit beasts, laying it all out for Ah Yin's intelligence to comprehend.
After half an hour, Su Ming finally finished speaking and eagerly asked the Blue Silver Emperor, "Ah Yin, what do you think? If you become my spirit soul, we can grow together. When you reach 100,000 years, you can regain your body, and I'll let you reunite with Tang Hao. How does that sound?"
"As for how I know about your relationship with Tang Hao, you'll find out in time."
Ah Yin (to herself): I already know.
"If you agree, wrap your Blue Silver Grass leaves around my hand."
Ah Yin had no other choice and soon wrapped her Blue Silver Grass leaves around Su Ming's hand.
Though becoming Su Ming's spirit soul would temporarily restrict her freedom, she had already been trapped in this dark cave, so it wasn't much different—just a change of scenery. Moreover, as Su Ming and the system had said, becoming a spirit soul brought many benefits.
Seeing Ah Yin agree, Su Ming was overjoyed. He then chanted the system's granted spirit soul contract spell and, in a special manner, extracted Ah Yin's soul from her Blue Silver Emperor body to sign an equal contract.
Another half hour passed.
Su Ming opened his eyes and released all his spirit rings. Four rings rose beneath him: purple, purple, black, and purple!
Su Ming roughly sensed that the spirit ring Ah Yin gave him had only 2,000 years of power, which he had expected. In such conditions, having this level of cultivation was already impressive!
What Su Ming didn't know was that Ah Yin actually had 20,000 years of cultivation, but due to the system's assistance, her cultivation had been sealed down to 2,000 years to avoid raising Su Ming's suspicion.
Seeing Su Ming had successfully completed the contract and gained his fourth spirit ring, Xiao Wu excitedly asked, "Su Ming-ge, what's the effect of your fourth spirit ring?"
Su Ming smiled and said, "The effect of the fourth spirit ring is quite good. As I anticipated, it enhances life attributes. The passive ability increases the life energy of both myself and anything I control with wood elements by 30%. The active ability adds another 30% on top of that."
"This spirit ability is quite excellent. Combined with the wood element's natural healing ability, it's a perfect match! Once Ah Yin's cultivation reaches 100,000 years, who knows, my wood element might even possess the ultimate life attribute!"
As he spoke, Su Ming cast his fourth spirit ability on Xiao Wu: "Fourth Spirit Ability, Withered Wood Revives!"
Indeed, Su Ming's abilities could not only be used on himself but on others as well, including his previous spirit abilities. Did this mean he was now a support-type spirit master too?
Su Ming had originally intended just to buff himself and his Wood Element techniques.
Xiao Wu felt an indescribable energy surging through her body. Her entire being felt more alive and vibrant.
"If I got injured right now, I think I'd heal instantly—that's how I feel!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
Su Ming, pleased, asked, "Xiao Wu, how does your body feel now?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Wu said, "Su Ming-ge, the life attribute enhancement is quite fascinating. It seems to enhance my overall abilities."
"For instance, I feel like my recovery ability has been boosted, and I just feel more energetic."
Su Ming nodded in satisfaction. That was precisely the effect he was aiming for. Life attributes were not just about healing—they had much broader applications.
With a thought, Su Ming's fourth spirit ring suddenly manifested a somewhat translucent human figure with blue hair, looking elegant and stunning, her figure well-proportioned, especially her upper body. That figure was none other than Ah Yin!
Su Ming had merely been experimenting, but it had worked. However, due to Ah Yin's currently low cultivation, her form was very faint, as if she might disappear any second.
But this was already fantastic. After all, Ah Yin's cultivation was only 2,000 years for now, and she couldn't speak yet—only communicate mentally with Su Ming.
Xiao Wu was shocked to see Ah Yin's figure. She hadn't expected Ah Yin to be so beautiful, with such a unique aura that reminded her of her mother.
But recalling that her mother could be revived in the future, Xiao Wu suppressed her sadness.
Ah Yin, summoned into this form, also examined her situation. It was indeed better—she could move freely within a certain range, which was much better than her previous state!
[Ding! Congratulations to Ah Yin for successfully becoming Su Ming's spirit soul and receiving a mysterious gift package!]
