Chapter 94: Researching Soul Bones and Soul Beast Cultivation
After discovering compressed soul power, Jerry understood how soul bones were actually produced.
Although his own soul power had been compressed, that was due to his cultivation technique; this time, coming to the forest and transforming his God Body, his Divine Sense could perceive much more.
For instance, Jerry discovered that the quality of soul power in Soul Beasts varies; most are normal, but some with stronger bloodlines have significantly higher soul power density. Their bloodlines compress their soul power, which is why these Soul Beasts are more powerful.
Furthermore, soul bones are not, as the masters previously claimed, more likely to appear if a Soul Beast is slaughtered before death.
Some Soul Beasts with powerful bloodlines have compressed soul power, roughly double that of ordinary Soul Beasts, and these Soul Beasts are all capable of fighting above their rank.
When these Soul Beasts are killed, they only need half their soul power to condense a Spirit Ring; the remaining half then attaches to the strongest bone in the Soul Beast's body, directly turning that bone into an Energy-like State, which is how soul bones are formed.
Many Soul Beasts with ordinary bloodlines do not have enough soul power to turn a bone into an Energy-like State, so they do not produce soul bones.
Jerry examined Erming; the bones in Erming's two arms were clearly much stronger than the others, with the right arm stronger than the left. Moreover, Erming's soul power is about 2.8 times that of an ordinary Soul Beast, which is already far stronger than other Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, most of which are just over double.
It seems soul power compression is the key to soul bones; let them all cultivate more in the Gravity Field, and perhaps many Soul Beasts will give birth to soul bones when the time comes.
Having previously studied Soul Beast Cultivation, he knew a miniature version of the Soul Beast appears in its head, functioning the same as a Soul Power Seed, absorbing soul power at every moment.
"Erming, I want to study the method of Soul Beast Cultivation," Jerry said.
"We Soul Beasts don't have any cultivation methods; once the time comes, we can level up!" Erming said.
Jerry did not think so; he thought of Demon Cultivation and the Inner Pellet. This world has Inner Pellets, and Soul Beasts with Inner Pellets do not have Spirit Rings; they should be the ones practicing normal cultivation. It seems he must visit Slaughter City later; the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Serpent, an ancient exotic beast, only has an Inner Pellet and no Spirit Ring.
"Erming, can you feel a miniature version of yourself in your head?" Jerry asked.
"I can't feel it. A miniature version of me? Is it fun?" Erming asked.
"Erming, this is Wangchuan Qiushui Dew; try absorbing it," Jerry said.
"It's so small, it's not even enough to get stuck in my teeth. Jerry, are you sure it's useful?"
"This is very precious; try it first, just swallow it directly."
"Then I'll give it a try."
As Erming swallowed the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, Jerry saw that the miniature Erming in Erming's head clearly reacted; it stopped absorbing soul power from heaven and earth and began directly absorbing the energy of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew. It was absorbed quickly, but it was a drop in the bucket, and there was no obvious change.
"It's useless, Jerry!"
"No, it must be too little. I have thirty more drops here; swallow them all at once. If it's not enough, we can only get more later!"
"Alright." As the thirty drops of Wangchuan Qiushui Dew entered Erming's body, the miniature Erming became excited and ran directly to Erming's stomach to begin absorbing.
It can move; it seems this miniature Erming only stayed in the head because it felt comfortable there.
As the miniature Erming absorbed the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, there was finally a change; it became increasingly clear. It had only been a phantom, but now its facial features could be seen clearly. Once it became completely clear, it slowly began to grow larger, and finally, when it became the same size as Erming, it merged directly with Erming.
Then Erming's body began to tremble, appearing to be in great pain.
"Erming, hold on!"
"I can still hold on!"
Then the soul power between heaven and earth surged toward Erming, quickly forming a soul power shell that wrapped Erming entirely inside.
"Damn, it turned into an egg? Shouldn't Erming be viviparous?" Jerry said in surprise.
The commotion here attracted others, and Daming also ran over.
"What happened to Erming?" Xiao Wu asked.
"I don't know. I had Erming absorb Wangchuan Qiushui Dew to improve his Spirit Power, and then it became like this!"
"I can feel that Erming is in a very good state right now," Daming said.
"Then what should we do now? Wait?" Xiao Wu said.
"We can only wait. He has turned into an egg now; what else can we do?" Jerry said.
"By the way, help me look for Soft-Bone Charm Rabbits, Nine Heart Begonia or other begonias, and Nether Civets in the forest," Jerry said.
He did not intend to let her absorb other Soul Beast Spirit Rings this time; although other Spirit Rings would grant her some soul skills, they would also introduce other things into her martial soul.
So Jerry prepared to cultivate Soul Beasts that were the same as his martial soul. He had brought many of Grandpa Jack's Carrots when he came out; he couldn't plant his own martial soul now, so he would try using Grandpa Jack's.
Grandpa Jack was unwilling to come to Wuhun City; it is hard to leave one's homeland. Jerry could only arrange for people to protect him in Holy Soul Village.
They found many begonias, and they actually found a Nine Heart Begonia. When she saw the Nine Heart Begonia, Lingling's whole body began to tremble; she had always thought this plant was extinct! She never expected to find one in the Star Dou Great Forest.
This Nine Heart Begonia was already over six thousand years old. Jerry planted it alone in one area and incidentally took over a hundred cuttings; he almost plucked the original Nine Heart Begonia bald, which made Lingling's heart ache.
They found many Soft-Bone Charm Rabbits, but the highest was only twenty thousand years old. Bloodline limited them; they had reached their limit. It seems Xiao Wu is special, or perhaps she encountered some fortuitous encounter in the past.
"Xiao Wu, if I remember correctly, rabbits shed fur? Do you have any that you shed before?" Jerry asked.
"You're the one who sheds fur! Can you even talk!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly!"
"I haven't had any for a long time. After ten thousand years, Soul Beasts can control their own fur. My fur is so beautiful, I wouldn't bear to let it fall off!"
"Is that so! Then this is a bit difficult!"
"Are you a pig?"
"Xiao Wu, why are you scolding me!"
"Although I have transformed, I still have Soul Beast bloodline!"
"I..."
That's right, Jerry had forgotten this point before. For example, Tang San's fifth Spirit Ring was condensed from bloodline, and truthfully speaking, Tang San is a human-beast hybrid, with half human bloodline and half Soul Beast bloodline.
Xiao Wu, however, truly has Soul Beast bloodline; although Xiao Wu no longer has a Spirit Ring, her bloodline is still there!
"Xiao Wu, give me a strand of hair! I'm preparing a Spirit Ring for you now."
"Alright, haha, Jerry, you have moments where you're silly too!"
"Xiao Wu, if we don't talk about this, we are still good friends!"
"I'll say it, I'll say it!"
"If you say it again, I won't be polite!"
"Try being impolite!"
"You said it, don't regret it!"
"Come and get me then."
Very quickly, a 100,000-year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Spirit Ring appeared.
"Xiao Wu, come and absorb your own Spirit Ring, haha!"
"Jerry, you've gone too far!"
"Hurry up and absorb it!"
Xiao Wu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Jerry and prepared to start absorbing the Spirit Ring. As soon as she touched the Spirit Ring, it went directly into Xiao Wu's body, and then Xiao Wu immediately broke through.
"What's going on?"
"It's a bit like me condensing a Spirit Ring myself, only you helped me condense it, so I absorbed it as soon as I touched it, it's that simple!"
"I......"
"Hahahaha."
After Xiao Wu absorbed her seventh Spirit Ring, the results of her Cultivation from the previous period, which had previously allowed her to break through to level 77, were all released. Her seventh soul skill, Soft Bone Charm Rabbit True Body, increases all attributes by 5 times.
It's too powerful. If I remember correctly, in the original work, Xiao Wu's seventh Spirit Master skill was clones, seven combat clones, and the clones only had sixty percent of her attack power. Now that all attributes are increased by 5 times, it's deadly. Is this the halo of the female lead?
