Chapter 248: The 100,000-Year Soul Beast in the Sea
Not far from the Seven Treasure Auction House, there was originally a square with a man-made fountain in the center.
The buildings in this area had been completely cleared by Ning Fengzhi and his men, turning the space into an open area for the establishment of the Ice God Temple.
The square was situated right in the heart of Seven Treasure City. The recent construction had already attracted a lot of attention from the residents.
Ning Bei arrived and surveyed the area, nodding to himself in approval.
"This will do. Let's not waste any more time."
After instructing the steward of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to remove the idle bystanders, Ning Bei immediately activated his Eternal Freeze domain.
An Ice God Temple, matching the standards of those in both Tian Shui City and the Extreme North, rose from the ground.
"My heavens, how did this grand hall appear out of nowhere?"
"Look, it's a miracle!"
"The Ice God Temple?"
"..."
The appearance of the Ice God Temple caused a stir among the onlookers. As they saw the plaque at the entrance, they realized the temple was dedicated to the Ice God.
Ning Bei ignored the noisy crowd, and after engraving the Ice Monument and imprinting the domain, he walked into the hall to begin setting up the statue.
As before, the Ice God Ning Bei was seated in the rear hall, with the three great guardians positioned in the front hall.
After leaving the hall, Ning Bei explained to the steward and then departed. After all, the temple was located in Seven Treasure City, and Ning Fengzhi had arranged for people to manage it, so there was no need for him to pay much attention.
The steward was extremely efficient. The Ice God Temple had only been erected for a few hours when the news spread throughout the city.
Everyone in Seven Treasure City soon knew about the temple dedicated to the Ice God, and many ice attribute soul masters began their pilgrimage up the frozen steps in front of the temple. Even some water attribute soul masters joined in, eager to witness the spectacle.
Other attribute soul masters, however, were pounding their chests in regret, cursing their parents for not giving them an ice attribute martial soul.
Of course, these were not matters that Ning Bei needed to worry about.
A few days later, Ah Du had absorbed the soul bone and successfully emerged from seclusion. Together with Hu Liena, they found their residence and were ready to take their leave.
"Be careful and take things slow, it's not like the sect here."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
"Here are some healing pills and Soul Cleansing Pills. Keep them safe."
"Thank you, Second Young Master."
After arranging everything, Ning Bei summoned Ning Rongrong and the others to his residence.
After granting everyone the Ice God Blessing, he saw off Hu Liena and Ah Du as they left the sect. From here on, it would depend on their fate.
"Wow, brother, where did you get this soul skill from? Why didn't you teach your lovely sister earlier?"
Ning Bei knocked on her little head and said with a grin, "This is the reward from my fifth divine exam, the two skills attached to the Ice Snow God Ring."
He showed the artifact briefly, and Ning Rongrong and the little rabbit's eyes instantly lit up. They immediately tried to pull the ring off, just like Little Angel had done.
Ning Bei chuckled to himself but didn't stop their actions.
A minute later, Ning Rongrong was transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture before everyone's eyes. The little rabbit, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, stepped back in shock.
"Little Sister Ma, no more! No more!"
After rescuing Ning Rongrong from the ice, the little girl shivered and looked at the Ice Snow God Ring with fear in her eyes.
"Brother, this damn ring is too wicked!"
"You insisted on taking it. What does it have to do with the ring? If you wear it without obtaining its approval, this is the consequence."
"Hmph! Fine, I won't wear it anymore. But brother, you can't stop the Ice God Blessing from now on!"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes. Truly, nothing can be done, she's the top at slacking off.
Not lingering any longer, Ning Rongrong and the others received the double experience cards and immediately returned to their residences to begin their training. It remained to be seen how long the lazy duo would keep up with their practice.
The next day, Elder Gao Wei, with the Thorned Demon Vine martial soul, successfully broke through to level 90 with the help of the Bodhi Pill.
After discussing with Ning Fengzhi, the group decided to set off immediately for Han Hai City. Elder Gao Wei could consolidate her cultivation during the journey without wasting time.
Almost all known 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest had been captured by Ning Bei for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so they decided to search for soul beasts in the sea.
However, this posed a problem for Elder Shi Ming, whose martial soul was the Storm Griffin. It seemed that sea soul beasts were not a good match for his martial soul.
But it wasn't a big deal. If they couldn't find a suitable soul beast by the sea, they could always take him to the Star Dou Forest later to complete the soul ring acquisition for Ou Xuan and Gao Wei first.
Ning Bei made a quick trip to the Prince's Manor, explained the situation to Little Angel, and then boarded the carriage to Han Hai City with the group.
Chen Xin was left behind to hold the fort at the sect, while Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi accompanied the group to handle any unexpected situations.
Ning Bei had already summoned Da Ming ahead of time to head towards the sea and find their target. Da Ming didn't complain, showing great loyalty as a tool.
The newly advanced Gao Wei also consolidated her cultivation during the journey. The three of them were all excited, as reaching the Title Douluo realm had always been their goal.
Now that they had finally achieved it, and would soon acquire their ninth soul ring, how could they not be thrilled?
Four days later, the group arrived at the seaside, and Ning Bei made contact with Da Ming.
"How's it going, Da Ming?"
"There are countless soul beasts above 80,000 years, but I've only found a few 100,000-year ones."
"Oh? Tell me about those 100,000-year ones."
Upon hearing Da Ming's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Who wouldn't want a 100,000-year soul beast for their ninth soul ring?
"About 600 kilometers to the west, there is a 100,000-year Blue Sea Black Dragon living in an underwater cave. This soul beast is extremely fast in the sea and has formidable strength in its domain."
With his Black Water Python martial soul, Ou Xuan couldn't hide his excitement. This soul beast sounded like a perfect match for him.
However, as Da Ming had said, hunting this ocean overlord in the sea would be very difficult.
Ning Bei saw the expression on his face and comforted him.
"Don't rush, let's hear about the other 100,000-year soul beasts before we make a decision. If this is really the only one suitable for you, I'll step in to handle it."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
After reassuring Ou Xuan, Ning Bei gestured for Da Ming to continue introducing the other targets.
"To the south, 500 kilometers away, there is a 100,000-year Umbrella Squid. Its strength is probably not as strong as the Blue Sea Black Dragon, but it's still not to be underestimated in the sea."
"To the southeast, there's a massive underwater rock where a 100,000-year Hidden Sky Winter Herb grows. You all know how powerful plant-type soul beasts are, we'll need to hunt it in the sea."
"Then, to the southwest, nearly 1,000 kilometers away, there's a 100,000-year Sawtooth Tiger Shark King. This soul beast is also very powerful."
"Lastly, not far from the Sawtooth Tiger Shark King, there's a Deep Sea Demon Spider at the bottom of the sea."
"These are the five 100,000-year soul beasts I've found. Should I continue exploring?"
After exchanging glances, Ou Xuan and Gao Wei immediately made their decision, selecting the Blue Sea Black Dragon and the 100,000-year Hidden Sky Winter Herb for their soul rings.
As for Shi Ming, he didn't express any opinions. These sea soul beasts weren't suitable for his martial soul, which he had already accepted.
