Ling Ye spread his hands and said with a "believe it or not" look: "The skill is running on you, and its aura has the same origin as mine. This can't be faked, right? Can it break the rule that soul masters must hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings? You should understand if you think about it for a moment. If a low-level soul master practices according to this method, he can steadily improve without a soul ring. Over time, his achievements may not be lower than A traditional soul master who relies on hunting soul beasts."
He paused, and his voice rose a bit, with a heart-shaking power:
"Since the technique I created can change the iron-clad rule of "soul masters hunting soul beasts" that has lasted for countless years!"
"Then -"
Ling Ye's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing Gu Yuena's heart: "Who stipulates that the rule 'soul beasts cannot become gods' is eternal and unbreakable?" "
"And I happen to have a little... different understanding of "rules"."
Ling Ye said the last few words lightly, but with an indescribable domineering and confidence, as if he was stating an established fact.
The restaurant fell into dead silence again.
Ditian and Bi Ji were completely speechless, with shock and shake written on their faces.
Gu Yuena's hand placed under the table clenched slightly unconsciously. Her heart, which had long been frozen by countless disappointments and heavy pressures, was now rising uncontrollably because of the words of the human boy in front of her!
Solve the problem that soul beasts cannot become gods... This is her biggest obsession and dream since her birth! This is a goal she must achieve at all costs!
And this young man, the golden elixir method he came up with has proven that he has the ability to subvert common sense!
Can he... really do it?
Although it still feels unbelievable, a seed called "hope" has inevitably been quietly planted in the heart of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
She looked at Ling Ye for a long, long time, as if she wanted to see through him from the inside out.
Finally, she took a deep breath and forced down the turmoil in her heart. Her purple eyes returned to depth and calm, but a tiny flame ignited deep in them.
She spoke slowly, her voice still cold, but with a hint of unprecedented solemnity:
"Ling Ye...really? Your words are very bold and... shocking."
"I need... more proof."
…
Gu Yuena followed Ling Ye through the intricate streets of Wuhun City, still questioning her decision in her heart. As the Silver Dragon King and co-master of soul beasts, she would actually follow a human to his residence just because of the other person's shocking words.
This is simply ridiculous.
But the seed called "hope" in her heart had quietly sprouted, making it impossible for her to leave just now.
Ling Ye's small courtyard is located on the edge of the Wuhun Palace building complex, not far or close to the Elder's Palace. It can show his identity without being too ostentatious. The yard is not big, but it is exquisitely and elegantly arranged, with a few green plants dotted around it and a chessboard carved on the stone table, making it look peaceful and full of life.
"Please come in." Ling Ye opened the door and made an invitation gesture.
Gu Yuena stepped in slowly, followed closely by Zi Ji and Bi Ji, looking around cautiously. As the top beings among spirit beasts, they could feel that there were several hidden protective barriers surrounding the small courtyard. Although it was not a threat to them, it also showed that the master was no ordinary spirit master.
“Now, you can give your ‘proof’.” Gu Yuena turned to face Ling Ye, her purple eyes filled with anticipation and wariness.
Ling Ye smiled slightly: "As I just said, I need to release my martial spirit first."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven soul rings rose from his feet - black, black, black, black, black, black, black!
Seven thousand-year soul rings!
Gu Yuena's pupils contracted slightly. Even she had to admit that this human's soul ring configuration was terrifying. In the history of Douluo Continent, no one has ever been able to possess all ten-thousand-year soul rings at the soul saint level.
What surprised her even more was that as Ling Ye's soul power surged, a strange light gathered and took shape in front of him, gradually condensing into dozens of uniformly sized and ornately decorated boxes, neatly arranged on the ground. There is a strange luster flowing on the surface of these boxes, which seems to contain some indescribable regular power.
"This is..." Gu Yuena has never seen such a strange martial spirit.
"My martial spirit is called the 'blind box'." Ling Ye explained. "The blind box, as the name suggests, is a blind box! You can get anything out of it! Only things you can't think of, there is nothing you can't open! It's just that the gap between my level and the three of you is too big at the moment, which will affect the so-called probability!"
Bi Ji stepped forward curiously, her emerald green eyes full of suspicion. She looked at these strange boxes carefully, and her senses scanned each blind box carefully, but she was surprised to find that her consciousness could not penetrate the surface of the box.
"You said that the things that are opened are related to the strength of the person who opens the box," Brigitte said with obvious distrust in her tone, "You have a Soul Saint cultivation level, and the weakest among us is equivalent to your human's Ultimate Douluo. With such a big gap, what can you provide us with something useful?"
She turned to Gu Yuena and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I don't think this person is trustworthy. We asked about the golden elixir method in the city, and it was clearly invented by the Emperor of the Spirit Empire, so how could it be his? I'm afraid he can't solve the problem of soul beast cultivation at all, he is just stalling for time or talking big words."
Ling Ye wiped his sweat calmly and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, you will know if you give it a try? But..."
He pointed at Brigitte: "You can only try it. Your Lord has a god-level cultivation level, and Di Tian is also equivalent to human level ninety-nine point five. You are the lowest. ” (It has a high cultivation level, which is equivalent to human level 99, but it belongs to the healing system, so its combat power is average, but it has nothing to do with the probability of opening the blind box⌓‿⌓)
"With my current soul power level..."
Ling Ye is actually beating a drum in his heart. Although before the time of Soul Saint, Ju Douluo had opened the Qi Rong Tian Ju, and Bibi Dong had also opened the Any Door, but now he was facing a ferocious beast that was comparable to the Ultimate Douluo, and he could not guarantee 100% that he would be able to open items of equal value.
Brigitte sneered: "Oh? So you admit that your abilities are limited?"
"I'm just seeking truth from facts." Ling Ye said calmly, "The higher my soul power level, the greater the chance that you will find something useful. But now, I don't know how far I can do it!"
Gu Yuena listened quietly, her eyes never leaving the blind boxes. She could feel that these boxes contained some kind of extraordinary power, which was both compatible with and contradictory to the rules of this world, which was very strange.
"Bigi, give it a try." After a long time, she finally spoke.
"My lord!" Brigitte turned her head in surprise.
Gu Yuena's eyes were deep: "Since I'm here, I might as well take a look. I'm also curious about what surprises these 'blind boxes' can bring."
Brigitte had no choice but to respond respectfully: "Yes."
She walked to the pile of blind boxes, hesitated for a moment, and casually clicked on one of them: "This is it."
Ling Ye nodded: "Please open it. The method is very simple."
Brigitte's slender fingers rested on the blind box. It felt slightly cool to the touch, and the material was neither gold nor wood, which was very strange. She glanced at Gu Yuena and Di Tian, took a deep breath, and slowly opened it.
There is no brilliance as imagined, and no surge of energy. The moment the lid of the box was opened, there was neither physical object nor light inside, only an extremely subtle and almost imperceptible ray of fresh air emerged suddenly, like water droplets melting into the sea, and instantly disappeared into Brigitte's eyebrows.
?!" Brigitte was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked inside herself.
Then, an extremely strange expression appeared on her beautiful face, a complex expression that was a mixture of astonishment, confusion, and a mixture of laughter and tears. She blinked her emerald eyes, looked at the empty box, then looked up at Ling Ye, her red lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
"What's wrong, Brigitte?" Gu Yuena's cold voice sounded, with a hint of inquiry. Her powerful consciousness had already enveloped the whole place, but she could not fully capture the essence of the pure air. She could only feel an extremely pure but... insignificant energy integrated into Brigitte's body.
Di Tian furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "What's the problem? Is he up to something?" As he said that, his terrifying pressure locked onto Ling Ye, making Ling Ye feel like he was carrying a mountain for an instant, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
Brigitte waved her hands quickly, her expression became even weirder. She organized her words before speaking with difficulty: "Lord, Ditian, no...he didn't do anything. It's just...it's just this thing...I don't know how to say it..." The fluctuations are like...like being lightly brushed by extremely pure heaven and earth energy. "
"But let's say it works..." Brigitte's tone was a bit ridiculous and helpless, "This improvement... is so slight that it can be ignored! Probably... it is probably equivalent to the total amount of heaven and earth energy that I can absorb and refine by concentrating and taking a deep breath on weekdays? Maybe... maybe a little less?"
“…” Gu Yuena fell silent, her beautiful purple eyes turning to Ling Ye again, the meaning of which was unclear.
"What?! Take a deep breath?!" Di Tian was furious when he heard this. The terrifying black energy around him almost overflowed uncontrollably. The air in the entire courtyard instantly solidified and the temperature dropped sharply. "Damn human! How dare you play with the Lord like this! Waste of our time! This house The so-called blind box is this kind of crap! ”
He is known as the God of Beasts, and his strength is as great as the sky. The energy of the world is as vast as the sea. Hearing that the "reward" given by Brigitte is only equivalent to her "one deep breath", this is a great shame for him! This human boy is definitely humiliating them on purpose!
Ling Ye was also secretly complaining in his heart at this moment. The probability mechanism of this blind box is really cheating. Facing a strong person far beyond your own level, the probability of getting a piece of garbage is greatly increased! But he could only keep calm on his face and explained bravely: "Be calm! I have said before that the gap in cultivation between us is too big! My soul power level severely limits the items that can be extracted from the blind box. The upper limit of the level. It all depends on luck! I was unlucky this time and only got the lowest level of "Cultivation Improvement·Micro", but this just proves the authenticity of the blind box mechanism - it can indeed directly grant cultivation, it's just a matter of quantity and quantity!"
He pointed at the many remaining blind boxes on the ground, with a hint of guidance in his sincere tone: "This is just the first one! There are forty-nine more! The probability is fair, it can't all be like this! Maybe the next one will turn up? It always takes more attempts to see the average level and true value, right?"
Brigitte looked at Ling Ye's embarrassed but still trying to explain, and then looked at the remaining boxes on the ground. As an Emerald Swan, she has a relatively gentle personality. Although the result of the first blind box was disappointing, she did not become angry because of it. On the contrary, I feel that this matter is a bit... ridiculous.
She sighed softly and said to Gu Yuena and Di Tian: "Lord, Di Tian, what he said makes sense. How can there be such a good thing in the world, where you can get earth-shattering treasures by just opening a few boxes? If this is true, it seems untrue."
Her tone was more casual, with a bit of self-deprecation and playfulness: "But I have come here, and these boxes look quite strange, so just treat it as a way to satisfy your curiosity and let's play with it."
As she said that, she didn't expect much, so she picked up the second blind box and opened it, which was much more casual than when she opened the first one.
This time, there is still no dazzling brilliance in the box, but there is a milky white halo that is obviously much richer and more solid than before, slowly floating up, like an elf with life, trembling slightly in the air for a moment, and then accurately sinking into Brigitte's eyebrows again.
"Hmm..."
Hibi Ji let out a very light groan, and her body swayed slightly. She immediately closed her eyes and felt carefully.
This time the feeling is so clear! A pure and gentle energy quickly integrated into her limbs and bones, and merged into her vast soul power. Although compared to her more than 500,000 years of profound cultivation, this energy is still like a drop of water dropped into a lake, but its "quantity" and "quality" are far from comparable to the "deep breath" just now!
She clearly felt that her cultivation level had indeed increased slightly! Although the increase is small, it is definitely!
She opened her eyes, the look of surprise in her emerald green eyes was more than disappointment. She looked at Gu Yuena and Di Tian, with a hint of disbelief in her tone: "This...this feeling...this improvement is probably equivalent to the total increase that I...can achieve in one day of meditation?"
One year!
Although for a ferocious beast with a long lifespan, a year of hard work is nothing, but it is already a huge leap from "a deep breath" to "a day of hard work"! This proves that Ling Ye's words are not false, these blind boxes can indeed directly grant cultivation! And the reward range fluctuates greatly!
This time, even Gu Yuena's eyes changed slightly. The terrifying aura around Di Tian also subsided slightly, but the suspicion in his eyes was still strong. He snorted: "Added one year of cultivation? Humph, it's still child's play!"
But the atmosphere was obviously no longer as tense as before.
Brigitte’s curiosity was really aroused. She looked at Ling Ye, her eyes a little more serious and probing.
Ling Ye felt a little relieved, and quickly struck while the iron was hot, showing a professional "customer service smile": "Look, luck is starting to get better! This shows that the probability is being pulled! Continue, Senior Brigitte, maybe there will be a bigger surprise next time!"
Brigitte nodded, and opened the third blind box with some expectation this time.
No halo, no energy. This time, a palm-sized, crystal clear bottle lay quietly at the bottom of the box. The body of the bottle is polished from some unknown crystal. Through the wall of the bottle, you can see that most of the bottle is filled with clear liquid with a little emerald green starlight. Although not majestic, an extremely pure and gentle breath of life faintly emanated from the mouth of the bottle.
"This is...?" Brigitte picked up the small bottle and looked at it blankly. She could feel the life energy contained in it, which made her feel very comfortable, even purer than her own life energy, but... the amount seemed too little.
The eyes of Gu Yuena and Ditian also fell on this small bottle.
Ling Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and introduced in a professional tone: "Congratulations, Senior Brigitte! You have prescribed the "Treatment Potion (Elementary)"!"
"Treatment Potion?" Brigitte Shaking the small bottle, the green stars inside flowed, which was very beautiful. "How is the effect?" As the strongest healing soul beast, she was instinctively interested in everything related to healing, although the energy contained in this bottle of potion seemed to her to be very weak.
Ling Ye explained: "This potion is extracted from a certain life rule fragment and contains pure life essence. For a soul master with a title of Douluo or below, as long as there is still breath, no matter how serious the injury is, most of it can be recovered in a very short time after taking it, including the reconnection of severed limbs. It is a very effective life-saving medicine." After Bi Ji heard this, she nodded slightly, but there was a trace of imperceptible disappointment in her eyes. It may be a miracle medicine for a human soul master, but for a being of her level, or even a hundred thousand year old soul beast, this little bit of life energy seems to be a drop in the bucket.
Ling Ye keenly caught her disappointment and immediately added: "Of course, this is just a primary potion. As far as I know, there are also intermediate, high-level, and even special-effect healing potions. The higher the level, the stronger the effect. It is said that high-level healing potions even have a certain effect on the injuries of god-level beings."
This sentence made Gu Yuena's eyes condense slightly.
Di Tianze snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.
Brigitte felt a little relieved and carefully put away the bottle of primary healing potion. Although she has no use for it, studying the pure life energy composition in it may also be able to inspire her own practice.
Three blind boxes in a row, although they did not reveal any earth-shattering treasures, they have fully demonstrated the strangeness of this "blind box" - it can indeed produce physical objects, and the things it produces are all kinds of strange, from directly improving cultivation to various props, it seems to be all-encompassing.
Hope seems to be seeping out from these seemingly ordinary boxes little by little.
Brigitte’s hand reached out to the fourth blind box involuntarily...
