Chapter 5: Thinking about the Future
The next day, early morning.
Mu Ci woke up from the bucket.
The feeling of relaxation throughout his body made him extremely intoxicated, just like the feeling of relief that comes from a person who has been exercising with weights for many years when he takes off the weights for the first time, as if he has been reborn.
However, before he could indulge himself for a moment, the voice of a maid was heard at the door.
"Young Master, are you awake? The Master has prepared the carriage and is waiting at the door."
Mu Ci suddenly realized and remembered that he had to go hunt for the first spirit ring today. He quickly started to pack up and shouted back, "Got it, I'll be there right away."
He put all the items he needed to pack directly into the storage soul guide. Before, because he had no soul power, some of the things he prepared had to be placed in the corner of the room. Now it is much more convenient. After packing everything, he hurried to the door.
At the entrance of the Mu Mansion.
Mu Ci saw his grandfather from a distance, standing in front of the carriage with his hands behind his back.
Mu Ci trotted over to Mu Changsheng, scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed look, "I slept a little late last night. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Grandpa."
"Grandma and Mom and Dad didn't come?"
He looked around and found that besides the coachman, his grandfather was the only one there, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"A mere first soul ring is enough for me, grandpa. How can you think that a dignified Soul Douluo like me can't even defeat a hundred-year soul beast?"
"Or do you think Grandpa is the same as that dead Tang Hao?"
Mu Changsheng pretended to be angry.
"No, no, everyone was here yesterday, and I thought we'd go together today too."
Mu Ci finally understood that everyone was there yesterday because he had awakened his Spirit.
Today they were just going to hunt a hundred-year-old soul beast, and having a Soul Douluo-level strongman like his grandfather leading them was already a big deal.
As for Tang Hao's operation, it is difficult for normal people to do it. Who would train their disciples before obtaining spirit rings?
Mu Changsheng is a top-level control-type soul master famous in Heaven Dou, and he is not one of those reckless men in the Clear Sky Sect who can only swing hammers.
"It's okay, let's get in the car first. The road is a bit far, we can talk while walking." Mu Changsheng returned to his kind face and looked at Mu Ci, pointing to the carriage next to him.
Hearing this, Mu Ci nodded and got on the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious, like a small bedroom, with all kinds of furniture such as desks and sofas. The floor of the carriage was even covered with a layer of fur of an unknown soul beast, which was very soft to step on.
This type of carriage is basically exclusive to the Heaven Dou noble soul master circle. It is specially used for long-distance travel. The body of the carriage is equipped with many civilian soul guide devices inherited from ancient soul guide civilization.
Because there are few records of the production methods of formal soul guides, they cannot be produced.
However, the patterns on this kind of civilian soul guide are simple and not too difficult to replicate. It is made by major chambers of commerce specifically for the royal family and large soul master families.
Sitting down with Mu Changsheng, Mu Ci curiously asked his grandfather, "Aren't we going to the Soul Hunting Forest near Shenmu City? Why did you pull this carriage out?"
Mu Changsheng calmly picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip and said, "The quality of the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest is not high, and there are even fewer high-level soul beasts suitable for plant Spirits."
"This time we went to the Star Dou Great Forest, and our family discovered a forest of Azure Ivy in Star Dou.
When used as a Spirit, Azure Ivy is a top-level control-type Spirit, and when used as a soul beast, its bloodline is also very high.
It is very suitable for our family Spirit, although Xiao Ci, your Abundant Jianmu is a mutated Spirit.
But it is a plant after all, so it is definitely not wrong to absorb the Azure Ivy for the first soul ring."
Mu Ci listened to his grandfather's analysis and nodded in agreement.
Although his own Spirit is not the original miracle of abundance, and has undergone some changes due to the laws of the alien universe, it is still far superior to ordinary plant Spirits. Compared with it, the Blue Silver Emperor is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Of course, he could absorb animal spirit rings like Tang San did, and the powerful origin of the Abundant Jianmu would not be affected too much, but there are more suitable plant spirit rings to absorb, so why choose the worse one?
In order to enhance the power of abundance, one must not only practice destiny but also comprehend the laws of life in the world.
The vitality of the Azure Ivy is much stronger than that of plant soul beasts like the Ghost Ivy. Choosing it as the first soul ring will also help you to perceive the power of abundance in the early stages.
As for animal spirit rings, if you have an Emerald Swan, that would definitely be the best.
In the entire Douluo Star, the soul ring that is most suitable for the Abundant Jianmu is the golden tree, and the second is the star beast, the Emerald Swan Brigitte.
But now Brigitte is still in the small space at the bottom of the lake with the Silver Dragon, so there is no need to think about it. And the Emerald Swan clan, under the protection of their leader Brigitte, never leaves the core circle.
If you have the chance in the future, you can try to make a deal with the Silver Dragon.
After all, there was nothing she could do except lie at the bottom of the lake to heal her wounds. Once the power of abundance reached a mid-to-high level, it shouldn't be difficult to heal some of her injuries.
Now Mu Ci is also unsure whether his Spirit will have the ability to transform into a companion spirit beast after reaching the middle or high level.
If possible, transforming Brigitte into a creature like the Abundant Black Deer can not only avoid the heavenly calamity but also achieve eternal life. I believe that few soul beasts can refuse.
Mu Ci's thoughts had already flown away from the sky, from the first soul ring to the ninth soul ring. After all, it was now the Dou 1 timeline, and the God King Tang San had not yet ascended to the realm of gods, so there would not be a pair of eyes in the sky watching him all the time.
All opportunities have not yet been used up, and there is a vast world of possibilities for great things to be done.
"It will take at least several days to get from Shenmu City to the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest. During these days, I will teach you the advanced meditation method that is unique to our family and some precautions that soul masters should pay attention to when traveling in the world." Mu Changsheng looked at Mu Ci who was sitting beside him, took out a booklet from his own storage soul guide and handed it to him.
"Take a look at it yourself first, and then ask me if you don't understand anything." After saying that, Mu Changsheng got up from the sofa, walked to the recliner on the side, lay down, and slowly closed his eyes.
Mu Ci opened his own advanced meditation method and began to read it very attentively.
After all, he is now a Douluo, not one of those doomed lunatics in the Collapse Iron Universe who can rely on idealism. Once he realizes the truth, he can shatter the stars in an instant.
For him now, strength needs to be accumulated bit by bit, so practicing meditation is very important.
It only took a moment to finish reading the meditation method in his hand.
But after reading about the meditation method, Mu Ci was very distressed, not because it was difficult, but because it was too simple.
Because the meditation methods in Douluo Continent are almost all stream of consciousness such as the upper body and the heart, it is difficult to describe them in specific words.
He compared it with the basic meditation method he had seen in the study in his mind, and found that the so-called advanced meditation method was nothing more than adding some insights of high-level soul masters.
It can indeed help beginners get started to a certain extent, but whether it can speed up the practice is still unknown.
"No wonder God King Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Art has dominated Douluo history for tens of thousands of years.
This group of people relies purely on talent. Those with good talent can cultivate to a higher level, while those with poor talent can only live a life of idleness and wait for death, without any attempt to overtake on the curve.
No, if I take one quick step, then all my steps will be quick. I must create my own true cultivation method."
Mu Ci looked at the meditation method in his hand, felt sad for the practitioners of Douluo Star, and made up his mind not to follow their old path.
After obtaining the first soul ring and unlocking the true power of abundance, he began to explore his own cultivation method based on the meridian map of his previous life. After all, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Art can be used, and it can also help Tang Hao open up the eight extraordinary meridians, which shows that there is no difference among Douluo people in terms of meridians.
The power of abundance is the best trump card for his bold ideas. Although the fate of abundance is not as destructive as hunting and destruction, it is definitely the best in terms of recovery.
Mu Ci closed his eyes and began to meditate according to the method in the book.
Soul power needs to be accumulated bit by bit. If you want to safely get through crises in the future, you must never relax in your daily practice.
