It can only be said that the ability is temporarily limited.
As the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent completely died, countless purple energy light spots burst out from the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent's body, eventually condensing into a purple Soul Ring in mid-air.
Xiao Xue curiously asked, "How many years is this Soul Ring?"
Xiao Yan looked intently, and after a while, he said, "About seventeen hundred years, three hundred years short."
"Then we're doomed, we have to find another one," Xiao Xue said with some disappointment.
Ning Rongrong stretched and yawned, "It's almost noon, let's rest for a while and then look for it."
Xiao Yan said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I feel like this Soul Ring is a bit special. If we really absorb this Soul Ring, it might not be too bad."
Turning his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Yan said, "It's up to you. Do you want to absorb this Soul Ring, or keep looking?"
"What would you choose?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then said, "If it were me, I'd decide to take a gamble…"
"Then I'll absorb this Soul Ring. I trust you." Before Xiao Yan could finish, Zhu Zhuqing made her decision.
Xiao Yan smiled and explained, "It's only a three-hundred-year age difference. The power of the Soul Skill won't have a qualitative change. If you can get some special effects from this Soul Ring, it's a sure win."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground, summoning her Netherworld Cat Martial Soul. Guided by her purple soul power, she drew the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent's Soul Ring into her body.
Having undergone two medicinal baths, body conditioning, and having also learned the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Zhu Zhuqing felt a completely different sensation when merging with the Soul Ring this time.
Warm, comfortable, without any pain from the Soul Ring energy scouring her body. It was like soaking in a hot spring, her whole body feeling warm and relaxed.
Besides the reason Zhu Zhuqing knew, Xiao Yan's torture of the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent also played an extremely important role.
Each time Xiao Yan slammed the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent, the force was immense, and with the effects of the Great Recovery Pill, the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent could quickly recover while injured.
This was simply a small-scale version of the Lingchi execution.
Moreover, the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent had been cornered by three waves of people, failed to escape several times, and finally had to endure Xiao Yan's "Lingchi"-like torture. It no longer wanted to live.
Zhu Zhuqing killing it was considered a release.
Guiding the Soul Ring energy that poured into her Meridians, Zhu Zhuqing began to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and attempted to break through her fourth Meridian.
Strands of gentle energy flowed out from the Soul Ring, scrambling to enter Zhu Zhuqing's Meridians.
More and more light purple energy surged in. In just a moment, Zhu Zhuqing realized her Meridians were being rapidly filled.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill ran at high speed. Under this endless extraction, the energy within the purple Soul Ring gradually diminished.
The Soul Ring began to stabilize on Zhu Zhuqing, visible to the naked eye.
Because of the massive influx of energy, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful little face was flushed, and a faint white mist rose from her head.
With a Soul Ring as an experience pack, the process of a Soul Master accumulating soul power was much easier than the process of a martial artist accumulating internal energy.
After all, by killing a soul beast, one could obtain the essence of cultivation that the soul beast had cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It was equivalent to eating a treasure of heaven and earth.
And as long as a Soul Master's aptitude was strong enough, they could eat nine times, and each time, the benefits would increase.
Along with the rapid outflow of energy from the Soul Ring, the purple Soul Ring in mid-air finally stabilized completely at a certain moment.
The fourth meridian was still short of a breakthrough. Just as Zhu Zhuqing was preparing to absorb energy from the world to continue, an unexpected event occurred.
At this moment, when Xiao Yan also thought the situation was under control, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly let out a scream.
Accompanied by the release of a purple light, Zhu Zhuqing's body, which was sitting cross-legged, suddenly made a cracking sound of bones.
Her upper body lowered, and her back arched high. Waves of energy surged, as if something was about to grow out, looking extremely terrifying.
Xiao Xue asked nervously, "Brother Xiao Yan, what's going on?"
Xiao Yan, his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, also couldn't understand.
In his estimation, Zhu Zhuqing absorbing this thousand-seven-hundred-year-old Soul Ring was a sure thing, obtaining the special item within the Soul Ring was a simple matter.
If the problem didn't occur during the Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivation experiment, but instead during the process of merging the Soul Ring, Xiao Yan truly wouldn't know what to say.
Who plays like this?
Before Xiao Yan could start thinking, he suddenly sensed something was impacting the clothes he made for Zhu Zhuqing.
The clothes he made were woven from Blue Silver Emperor vines. In terms of toughness, they were much stronger than ordinary iron armor, and were also very light and convenient to wear, essentially a suit of armor.
Xiao Yan didn't hesitate, and with his mind controlling the clothes on Zhu Zhuqing, he began to reduce their toughness.
With a ripping sound, the clothes on Zhu Zhuqing's back instantly tore, and a faint red light emerged.
Xiao Yan, with his excellent eyesight, quickly observed that on Zhu Zhuqing's originally smooth, beautiful back, two tender pink lumps were wriggling.
As these lumps began to grow, Xiao Xue and the others also saw them.
Ning Rongrong asked, somewhat fearfully, "What is that?"
Xiao Yan frowned, this was completely beyond his common knowledge.
According to the usual rules, a Soul Master's absorption of a Soul Ring should be the end of it.
How could this be happening?
If someone needed an explanation, perhaps only the Pope of Spirit Hall could provide it.
Spirit Hall possessed the vast majority of information concerning Soul Masters.
If even Spirit Hall didn't know, then this was likely something strange indeed.
Before long, two fleshy lumps burst open, emitting a brilliant, pale red light that instantly enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Xue and the others might not have been able to see clearly, but Xiao Yan could. He saw that a pair of pale red wings were rapidly growing on Zhu Zhuqing's back.
When these pale red wings reached about two meters in length, Zhu Zhuqing's pain diminished. It was as if she had been reborn. Her face showed the comfortable expression of someone who had just finished a medicinal bath.
Xiao Xue and the others were already dumbfounded.
Zhu Zhuqing had actually grown a pair of wings on her back?
They looked somewhat similar to the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent's wings.
"This, this is... the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent's wings?" Xiao Yan asked with some disbelief.
His Soul Skills were already bizarre enough, but he hadn't expected that after teaching a disciple, she would become even more bizarre after absorbing a Soul Ring.
She directly sprouted a pair of wings.
Who could have imagined that?
