Chapter 70 Return to Wuhun City
Now that Ye Qifeng has obtained a Soul Ring, he has officially become a Soul Master.
He is still a level 25, second-ring Soul Master.
Bibi Dong intended to train Ye Qifeng's control over soul power and soul skills, so she did not choose to fly away with him directly.
The three of them sped and leaped through the dense forest.
Bibi Dong and Nihuang also concealed their auras at this moment, looking like ordinary people.
Their location was already nearly a hundred kilometers deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, almost reaching the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest's mixed zone.
Without the intimidating presence of Bibi Dong and Nihuang, the journey out of the forest was fraught with attacks from spirit beasts.
Many of them are well-known spirit beasts.
Examples include the Gale Wolf, Mighty Vajra Bear, Netherworld Cat, Ghost Leopard, Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake, and Human-faced Spider, among others.
Initially, Nihuang was responsible for dealing with and driving away soul beasts that were over a thousand years old.
Those below the hundred-year mark will all be given to Ye Qifeng for practice.
Bibi Dong was responsible for guiding her disciples in combat and teaching them about various spirit beasts.
At first, Ye Qifeng was a little unfamiliar with the use of soul power and soul skills, but after fighting several hundred-year-old soul beasts, he quickly became proficient.
During battles, if the ordinary soul beasts encountered are not particularly ferocious, Ye Qifeng will not kill them and will let them go after the battle ends.
However, if he encounters evil, ferocious, and bloodthirsty soul beasts, such as the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which is classified as an evil soul beast, Ye Qifeng will not be polite and will kill it directly.
After continuous battles.
Ye Qifeng was no longer satisfied with fighting only soul beasts below the hundred-year level.
With Bibi Dong and Nihuang providing backup.
He began battling thousand-year-old soul beasts, then one-thousand-year-old, one-twelve-year-old, and one-fifteen-year-old soul beasts.
Finally, Yoruichi Kaze determined his current fighting strength.
Without relying on external forces, and simply using his soul skills, he possesses the control skill Shadow Bind, a second-level soul skill of nearly five thousand years, making it almost impossible for hundred-year-old soul beasts to get close to him.
With the soul power of a level 25, second-ring Great Soul Master, and the weapon-type skill of his first soul skill, Black Blade Dark Moon, which provides a 20% boost to all attributes, he is capable of fighting on equal footing with a soul beast of two thousand years of age.
If they go all out, they could even secure a decisive victory.
Such formidable combat power left Bibi Dong and Nihuang speechless with astonishment.
They asked themselves if they could do the same thing at the same level.
It should be noted that a soul beast of two thousand years is equivalent to a human soul master at the Soul Sect level in terms of combat power.
In their impression.
Even if a second-ring Great Soul Master reaches the highest level of 30 in soul power, they can only fight to a draw with a soul beast of 1,000 years or more.
Even with her exceptional talent, Bibi Dong would never have dared to stand before a two-thousand-year-old soul beast without external assistance when she was at level twenty-five.
Not to mention fighting.
And so, Ye Qifeng continued his journey while battling soul beasts, training his combat abilities.
Despite their hurried pace, the three of them spent another whole day in the Star Dou Great Forest.
the next morning.
The three of them came out from the location where they had entered the Star Dou Great Forest seven days ago.
The Star Dou Great Forest is very large, and its outer boundary is also very long. Soul Masters who go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest usually choose to exit from the position closest to the edge, rather than returning the same way.
However, Bibi Dong's holy maiden carriage was equipped with a unique positioning soul guide device. Once it approached the edge of the area, the immense spiritual power allowed the direction of the carriage to be easily located.
After the three emerged from the forest, they quickly found the temporary gathering place where the carriages had been placed seven days earlier.
Looking around, the settlement was now completely empty, with only three people idly guarding a carriage at the edge of the area.
Those were Niu Butong and two members of his Soul Hunting Team.
Upon seeing Ye Qifeng and his companions emerge from the Star Dou Great Forest, Niu Butong led two others and immediately ran over.
"My lord, you've finally come out."
Upon seeing this burly man again, Ye Qifeng smiled and said:
"Why are there only three of you? Where are the others?"
"Young Master, it's like this: this place is just a temporary gathering place. Everyone will only stay here for a few days, and then we'll disband. The rest of us have either entered the Star Dou Great Forest or have already returned home," Niu Butong replied cheerfully.
"Then why don't you leave? This is the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts come out from time to time. Isn't it dangerous for just the three of you to be here?" Ye Qifeng asked.
"Isn't this because I received that lord's gold soul coins?"
Niu Butong secretly glanced at Nihuang, but quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer, for fear of angering her.
Ye Qifeng looked at him and asked:
"So, you were waiting for us to come out?"
"Yes, yes," Niu Butong nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice. "Although I, Old Niu, am a bit of a scoundrel, I have a firm grasp on my reputation. Since I've accepted the employer's deposit, I must keep my promise and wait for the employer to return."
Looking at his expression, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. What the hell is he keeping his promise? Are you afraid of being held accountable by the Spirit Hall? If it were anyone else, you probably would have already abandoned the carriage and run away.
At this moment, Nihuang glanced at Niu Butong and asked calmly:
"How's our carriage?"
"My lord, rest assured, we have taken good care of the carriage. I personally guarded it, and no one has come near it during this time. Moreover, the horses are fed with the finest soybean feed and are brushed every day."
Niu Butong hurriedly said, while pounding his chest loudly.
At this moment, Bibi Dong leaped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain, glanced inside, then nodded slightly to Nihuang and entered the carriage.
Seeing this, Nihuang took out a bag of gold soul coins from her soul tool, containing one hundred and fifty gold soul coins, and casually tossed it to Niu Butong:
"This is the final payment. Considering how hard you've worked, here's an extra fifty gold soul coins as a reward."
Upon hearing this, Niu Butong was overjoyed and couldn't help but secretly weigh the bag in his hand; it indeed contained one hundred and fifty gold soul coins.
He quickly bowed and thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your generosity, sir."
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly said to Niu Butong, "Are you interested in joining my Spirit Hall?"
Ye Qifeng's sudden question startled the big man.
After a long silence, he cupped his hands and said:
"I'm sorry, young master, I'm used to being free and can't stand being tied down. I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."
"It's alright, everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force you," Ye Qifeng waved his hand and smiled.
He was just acting on a whim, wanting to recruit some people for the Spirit Hall. Niu Butong was, after all, a high-level Soul King with a cultivation level of 58, and the Spirit Hall was worthy of extending an olive branch to him.
Since he won't agree, then forget it.
Ye Qifeng looked at Niu Butong and said with a gentle smile:
"However, if you encounter any problems, you can try to inform the Spirit Hall for help. Of course, I can't guarantee that the Spirit Hall will definitely help you."
"Oh, by the way, the Spirit Hall also collects intelligence, such as information on rare or high-age spirit beasts. If you have any information in this regard, feel free to inform the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall will provide corresponding rewards based on the value of the intelligence."
Niu Butong's eyes lit up when he heard this; this was a good business opportunity.
Anyway, I often wander around this Star Dou Great Forest, and occasionally I will encounter some rare and uncommon soul beasts. As long as I record these messages and hand them over to the Spirit Hall, that will be another source of income. Young Master, you are a good person!
Niu Butong bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, young master!"
"Xiao Feng, let's go." At this moment, Ni Huang's charming and melodious voice rang in Ye Qifeng's ears.
"Okay." Ye Qifeng nodded.
After boarding the carriage, Nihuang drove it quickly westward, returning to Wuhun City.
