Chapter 27 Xue Qinghe's First Soul Ring Selection
Five thousand years?!

The maximum soul power absorption of a soul master's third soul ring can reach more than 1,700 years; the fourth soul ring can absorb soul rings with a cultivation base of about 5,000 years; the upper limit of the fifth soul ring is about 12,000 years, and the upper limit of the sixth soul ring is 20,000 years; the seventh soul ring is between 30,000 and 50,000 years, depending on the different attributes of different soul masters; with the eighth soul ring, it is possible to absorb soul rings of soul beasts with more than 50,000 years, and only the last ninth soul ring has the possibility of absorbing soul beasts with a cultivation base of 100,000 years.

This is the setting in the original book. Apart from this, there are some special cases.

In the original novel, Tang San's fourth ring lasted for ten thousand years, which shocked others.

And now Xue Qinghe not only takes many fairy products such as Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot, Eight-petal Fairy Orchid, Qiluo Tulip, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, etc., but also possesses the external soul bone Eight Spider Lance and the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

The strength of the physical body is no longer what a tenth-level soul power can possess, and the body's endurance has naturally exceeded the limit and reached five thousand years.

If one were to tell others that his first soul ring could absorb the soul ring years that the fourth soul ring of others could only absorb, it would probably cause a huge sensation.

The soul bones and immortal herbs have come to an end, and now Xue Qinghe should consider his first soul ring.

Compared with the Swan Martial Soul and the Imperial Seal, the latter always feels more mysterious. So in terms of choice, Xue Qinghe, who has not yet figured out the ability of the Imperial Seal, chooses to practice the Swan Martial Soul first.

"If Your Highness chooses to cultivate the Swan Martial Spirit, how should I choose the soul beast?"

Guan Yu and Xu Chu were both military commanders and could seldom give substantive advice.

Jia Xu was not there, and even if he was, he would not say anything unless forced.

So now the only person who can give Xue Qinghe advice is Hua Tuo.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, there are two choices for the cultivation direction of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal swan spirit. One is to be a totem auxiliary spirit master, using the swan totem to increase the auxiliary status of teammates; the other is to be a glorious strong attack spirit master, using the light element characteristics of the swan spirit as a means of attack. So before choosing a spirit beast, Your Highness should first decide on your future cultivation direction."

Choose an auxiliary soul master?

joke!

It's like playing a game, most people won't choose a support.

Xue Qinghe was unwilling to do so, so he said, "Your Highness prefers the strong attack system."

Hua Tuo nodded slightly, and was not surprised by Xue Qinghe's choice: "Since Your Highness has chosen the path of a strong attacking spirit master, then Your Highness's future spirit ring selection will naturally need to choose some spirit beasts with light attributes that can enhance the characteristics of light elements."

"A soul beast with light attributes?" Xue Qinghe murmured softly, but his thoughts had already drifted elsewhere. Then, a fantastic idea appeared in his mind.

"Where is Jia Xu? Ask him to come see me immediately!" Now Xue Qinghe can only rely on Jia Xu's school affairs office for external affairs.

After receiving the message from Xue Qinghe, Jia Xu immediately rushed to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late!"

As soon as Jia Xu arrived, he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. This attitude of admitting his fault made Xue Qinghe, who had been waiting for more than two hours and was a little impatient, unable to open his mouth to punish him.

"Wenhe, I need you to do something!"

Jia Xu bowed and said, "Your Highness, please give me your orders. I will do my best to do it!"

Xue Qinghe immediately stated his purpose: "Wenhe, I need you to lead people to the frozen forest at the northern end of the empire and find all the mirror beasts that are about 20,000 years old in the frozen forest."

"Bring them all back?" Jia Xu asked carefully, looking up.

Xue Qinghe shook his head: "No, we have to kill them on the spot until we find a Mirror Shadow Beast skull!" Upon hearing this, Jia Xu, Hua Tuo, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu who were present all raised their eyes, all revealing incredible expressions.

Your Highness, have you calculated that the Mirror Shadow Beast will drop soul bones?

Seeing that Jia Xu was still silent, Xue Qinghe asked, "What's the matter? Are you having any trouble?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will do my best to complete your mission as you have entrusted me to do. However, the Mirror Shadow Beasts of these 20,000 years are quite powerful, and the School Affairs Office was established not long ago, so we are short of manpower."

This is not because Jia Xu was slacking off. In the original novel, Oscar hunted the 20,000-year-old Mirror Shadow Beast with a team of more than a dozen people, not to mention that they were all veteran Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, and there was even a Soul Saint.

The school affairs office had just been established, and there were only a limited number of strong people above Soul King.

"Wenhe, I can also hand over the people from the Spirit Hall to you. I want you to find this head soul bone for me in the shortest possible time!"

"I obey your orders!" With the addition of people from the Spirit Hall, there would naturally be no problem with manpower, so Jia Xu accepted the orders.

Xue Qinghe continued, "Searching for the head soul bone of the Mirror Shadow Beast is one thing. Wenhe also needs to capture a Mirror Shadow Beast with a cultivation base close to five thousand years old for me. This one must be captured alive."

A five thousand year old Mirror Shadow Beast is naturally much easier to deal with than a twenty thousand year old Mirror Shadow Beast. Jia Xu didn't mind having an additional task, so he agreed to it.

On the contrary, Hua Tuo, who was standing aside, murmured softly upon hearing this.

"Five thousand years of Mirror Shadow Beast. Five thousand years. Is that possible?"

"Your Highness, are you planning to choose a 5,000-year-old Mirror Shadow Beast as your first soul ring?"

Everyone present was absolutely loyal to him, so Xue Qinghe nodded in acknowledgement.

After confirming that Xue Qinghe really thought so, Hua Tuo hurriedly cupped his hands and advised: "Your Highness, the Mirror Shadow Beast has thick skin and flesh, and its characteristic is high-intensity defense. It is also a cold-attributed soul beast, which is completely incompatible with your Swan Martial Soul cultivation path. I hope Your Highness will consider it carefully."

Xue Qinghe didn't know whether his idea was feasible or not, but he always wanted to give it a try.

"Divine Doctor Hua, I have my own considerations. You don't need to worry."

"Your Highness!" Hua Tuo did not give up persuading him. After all, he was 100% loyal to Xue Qinghe, and he would never agree with Xue Qinghe choosing a soul beast that was not suitable for him as his first soul ring.

At the same time, Hua Tuo would look at Jia Xu beside him from time to time, giving him constant reminders with his eyes.

The meaning seemed to be to ask Jia Xu to help persuade them as well.

Although they all worked under Xue Qinghe and were Xue Qinghe's direct subordinates, Hua Tuo knew that Jia Xu's status in Xue Qinghe's heart was higher than others. Perhaps it was because Jia Xu was Xue Qinghe's only think tank, or perhaps it was because Jia Xu was in charge of the most important school affairs office.

Therefore, Jia Xu's persuasion must be more important and more effective than his own.

But who would have thought that this bastard Jia Wenhe turned his head away and didn't react at all. Hua Tuo's eyebrows and eyelids were twitching, but Jia Xu still didn't react.

Jia Xu naturally knew that Hua Tuo was signaling to him, and Jia Xu himself did not understand why Xue Qinghe chose the Mirror Shadow Beast as his first soul ring.

But Jia Xu understood another truth.

It is not wise to talk back to your leader!
