"The Soul Spirit I envision can be recycled!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, who had been surprised by the Soul Spirit's convenience, widened their eyes!
Soul Spirit = Soul Ring.
Soul Spirits can be recycled. Isn't that the same as Soul Rings being recyclable? Could Soul Rings be traded like Soul Bones?
Wow…
The growth in the number of human Soul Masters far exceeds the natural growth of Soul Beasts.
Moreover, some people, driven by selfish desires or to obtain Soul Bones,
indiscriminately slaughter Soul Beasts.
It was foreseeable that a day would come when soul beasts would be incredibly scarce. Many people would be stuck, unable to break through due to a lack of soul rings.
But if this Soul Spirit could replace soul rings and be recycled, everything would be resolved!
Furthermore, the relationship between soul beasts and Soul Masters, which had been strained by hunting, might even improve. Not all soul beasts could break through their racial limitations and grow to higher ages.
A significant number of soul beasts faced the threat of dying of old age as their lifespans neared their end.
If they had this Soul Spirit... wouldn't they be able to break free from the constraints of their physical bodies and achieve eternal life in a spiritual sense?
For a moment, Ning Fengzhi didn't know how to assess Tang Lan's brilliance!
But the only thing he could be sure of was that this era would be led by Tang Lan.
"Sect Master! I'm willing to try!" Jing Ling said eagerly, "I'm willing to fully cooperate for your great vision!"
Forget everything else.
This is a chance to become a legend!
If this works...
History books will record it like this: The first Soul Spirit experiment subject, Jing Ling!
They'll have to dedicate a whole page in the family tree to him!
Does he even need to hesitate?
If Jing Ling knew how to do it, he would have jumped right in himself!
Tang Lan turned to Gu Rong.
"Uncle Gu, let us out."
Gu Rong's thoughts shifted, and he canceled his Soul Skill, which disappeared.
The surrounding bone mountains shattered, turning into soul power and dissipating into the air.
Revealed were Soul Beasts, each with their heads blown open.
Venturing further out, he began to encounter living Soul Beasts.
But they were either severely injured or on the verge of death.
Lying on the ground, they were barely clinging to life.
The Soul Beasts that had gathered, drawn by the sight of people absorbing the Celestial Herbs.
Naturally, they couldn't coexist peacefully.
The situation outside was chaotic, akin to a small-scale Beast Tide rampage.
Tang Lan walked directly towards a group of gathered Soul Beasts.
They sensed Gu Rong's aura and immediately scattered in all directions.
Left behind was a small elephant, two meters long, with bite marks all over its body.
Around it were huge pits.
Many of the pit bottoms were smeared with various soul beasts.
They were all killed by this "small elephant."
Or rather, trampled to death.
Meat Mountain Giant Elephant!
Normally, it feeds on plant soul beasts. Its meat is delicious and rich in soul power, making it the "Tang Sanzang of the soul beast world."
But it wasn't to be trifled with either.
Its innate ability, Giantification, allowed it to increase its size tenfold in a short time!
This little elephant was two meters tall.
Even if it only grew tenfold, it would be over twenty meters.
And its Soul Skill, Hardening, could also greatly increase its defense.
It directly transformed into a heavily armored giant elephant, pushing its way through everything.
That's why the scene was so tragic.
But in the end, many ants can kill an elephant; it was slowly drained of its soul power.
Tang Lan raised a hand.
The Life Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, emerged, enveloping the Meat Mountain Giant Elephant that was about to be devoured, and channeling life force to keep it alive.
He observed carefully.
He confirmed it was pretty much as the Blue Silver Grasses had reported.
Then, only then, he spoke:
"This Meat Mountain Giant Elephant is about 2510 years old."
"It won't be a problem for you to absorb the Nine-Grade Purple Mushroom as your third soul ring."
Jing Ling was just a civilian Soul Master and hadn't consumed Whale Rubber to increase his cultivation age.
Tang Lan didn't have any in stock either.
So...
He glanced at Ning Fengzhi—the guy's letting his daughter test this out, aren't you going to offer something?
Ning Fengzhi chuckled.
This little brother really knows how to milk it.
From his storage ring, he pulled out three pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber.
"Young friend, since you're testing this for Rongrong, we can't let you go empty-handed."
"Take these three pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber."
Jing Ling was extremely tempted!
But he didn't move, instead looking at Tang Lan.
—If it weren't for Tang Lan, would they even care about me?
He had a very clear understanding of his own position.
"What are you looking at?" Tang Lan raised an eyebrow. "An elder gives a gift, you can't refuse it. Aren't you going to say thank you?"
"Yes! Sect Master!"
Jing Ling quickly accepted the Whale Rubber with both hands.
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning!"
He hurried to the side to absorb it.
Tang Lan also initiated a mental link.
"You're dying, I can save you."
The mental conversation bypassed the barrier of language.
The Meat Mountain Giant Elephant understood.
It struggled to lift its head, gazing at the young human before it.
Memories flashed before its eyes.
A hint of hatred flickered within them! "Hmph! Humans! You all deserve to die!"
There wasn't a shred of trust.
But Tang Lan just smiled.
A Soul Beast only truly awakens its intelligence at the hundred-thousand-year mark.
But before that, was there only instinct?
Of course not.
The intelligence here refers to the "primate intelligence" of humans.
That is, comprehension ability, thinking ability, adaptability, and so on.
Ordinary Soul Beasts also develop their own "intelligence" as their age increases.
It's just a matter of degree.
Tang Lan chose this Meat Mountain Giant Elephant.
Besides the suitable age and attributes for Jing Ling, he also valued its intelligence in battle.
It was strategic in its advances and retreats, and composed in both offense and defense.
He could use his own strength to fight against a dozen times more Soul Beasts and still kill most of them.
In his Purple Demon Eye,
the Soul of this Meat Mountain Giant Elephant was clearly more powerful than those of the same rank; it had probably had some fortuitous encounters.
"You don't need to reject me."
Tang Lan unfurled his Blue Silver Domain, causing the Blue Silver Grass all over the field to submit to him.
"Half of my bloodline is also a Soul Beast—the Blue Silver Emperor."
"I really am here to save you."
This was Tang Lan's innate advantage!
Indeed.
Feeling the aura of the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, the hatred in the Meat Mountain Giant Elephant's eyes visibly lessened.
But it was still very wary.
"Save me? You just said you wanted me to become that human's Soul Ring!"
Oh!
It could understand human speech?
Tang Lan was surprised, but not alarmed.
"I've developed a new type of Soul Ring that can integrate your soul into it, allowing you to continue living in soul form."
"If this human can advance to godhood in the future, you can also enter the God Realm with him, where you can be resurrected and gain eternal life."
The pie was drawn as big as possible!
Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't be fooled – as if becoming a god was easy?
But the Meat Mountain Giant Elephant's intelligence was only about that of a ten-year-old.
It was instantly captivated.
"Can I really... exist in soul form?"
"Then, will I no longer be chased every day?"
"Without this body, no Soul Beasts will covet me?"
Hmm?
Why are this guy's concerns so different?
But fortunately, the effect was the same.
Tang Lan nodded in agreement.
The Meat Mountain Giant Elephant, roused from its deathbed, suddenly raised its head and leaned towards Tang Lan.
"Arooo—"
The loud elephant's cry signified its agreement to cooperate with Tang Lan in completing the Soul Spirit experiment.
Who would choose death if they could live?
