Diary System—Chapter 127: An immortal herb was given away for free, but nothing was gained!
Bibi Dong thought to herself, but it seemed she suddenly remembered something and furrowed her brow.
She had forgotten that Dai Yichen possessed two martial souls. The second martial soul, the Spirit Eye, was also a spiritual martial soul. Moreover, if the ranking was based solely on spiritual power, the spiritual attribute of the Spirit Eye must be stronger than that of the Fox Demon.
After all, the Spirit Eye martial soul can only take the spiritual path, whereas the Fox Demon martial soul follows the spiritual charm path— a branch of the spiritual path.
Initially, she believed that if Hu Liena pursued the spiritual charm path, she would have no opponent. After all, there are virtually no soul masters with spiritual martial souls on the continent now!
This was also Hu Liena's advantage!
But now, she might have to reconsider Hu Liena's soul ring configuration—continue along the spiritual path, but not the extreme charm path.
Because Dai Yichen and Tang San both have methods of cultivating spiritual power, Hu Liena would have no advantage in future confrontations.
For a soul master like her who takes the extreme path, having no advantage is equivalent to a disadvantage!
It seems she will need to acquire two spiritual attack soul skills in advance, Bibi Dong thought.
Originally, she planned that the extreme charm path could charm opponents while using illusions to control them, guiding enemies to hurt themselves unconsciously—achieving a bloodless victory.
As for spiritual attacks, she planned to wait until the Soul Master Competition was over. By then, she estimated that Hu Liena would have become a Soul King.
She had already selected a 60,000-year-old Wisdom Skull from the Spirit Hall's treasury. Its main purpose was to increase pure spiritual power and improve spiritual attack capabilities.
She didn't choose another 30,000-year-old Fox Skull. Although that skull could also enhance spiritual power, its primary attack focus was charm.
With the foundation of her first five soul rings, the role of this Fox Skull was minimal. It was better to focus on increasing spiritual power for the greatest overall improvement in Hu Liena.
Now, since she learned that Dai Yichen's cultivation had advanced rapidly, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she naturally couldn't sit idly by.
She decided to let Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan spend more time cultivating. As for studying martial soul theory or leisure activities, those would have to be shortened!
All three of them had innate soul power at level nine, which was not as good as Dai Yichen and Zhu Zhuqing's full innate soul power, so they needed to practice even harder!
Anyway, they already had some basic and advanced knowledge; further progress could be addressed later!
(In the original story, Hu Liena was 20 years old when she entered the Soul Master Competition—six years older than Tang San. Now, Dai Yichen is seven years old and Hu Liena is 13. This is the time for them to practice with full effort.)

[The most regrettable thing is the Speed Clan. Bai Chenxiang followed Tang San and his party to Sea God Island for training later and also obtained a god-given soul ring. This God-given soul ring transformed her from a pure agility-type soul master into an agility-attack type, giving her offensive power.]
[It is said that although Bai Chenxiang did not ascend to become a god in the end, her final level was 99th—an Ultimate Douluo. Logically, if the later disciples of the Speed Clan inherited the nine soul skills according to Bai Chenxiang, there should still be successors in the clan after ten thousand years, right?]
[Although the soul skills obtained from hunting soul rings are random, it's very strange that, whether among the three upper clans or the four single-attribute sects, the soul skills are not identical across all members. More than half of their skills are the same, which is quite peculiar.]

Women: …
That's because the soul-beasts they hunt for soul rings excel in certain attributes. So, the probability of obtaining the same soul skill is much higher."
Among them, the soul skills inherited by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect are the simplest. Since it's an auxiliary martial soul, choosing an attacking or defensive soul beast typically yields corresponding soul skills of that attribute.
[Speaking of Bai Chenxiang, she is Tang San's cousin, and the current clan leader of the Speed Clan, Bai He, is her uncle. I remember clearly: when Tang San successfully subdued the Speed Clan, Bai He also saw Xiao Wu—who had been held in Tang San's arms and transformed into a rabbit because of sacrifice.]
[After some inquiries, Bai He learned that Xiao Wu was hunted by the Spirit Hall and sacrificed to him. However, Tang San also had a way to revive Xiao Wu, which required a ten-thousand-year-old Ninth-Rank Ginseng King. This immortal herb is spiritual, capable of moving and traveling unpredictably, making it extremely difficult to obtain.]
[Its quality among immortal herbs might surpass that of the King of immortal herbs, Yearning Heartbroken Red, which cannot move freely. Bai He used the ancestral crystal blood dragon ginseng for various considerations.]
[Although he didn't know the name of this immortal herb, he knew it was not an ordinary product. As expected, after Xiao Wu's rabbit body absorbed the crystal blood dragon ginseng, and combined with the residual medicinal effects of the Yearning Heartbroken Red in her body, she was directly restored to human form.]

Xiao Wu:...
—
[Originally, Bai He's crystal blood dragon ginseng should not have had such a remarkable medicinal effect. But since Xiao Wu had previously taken the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the two herbs complemented each other. The Speed Clan saved Xiao Wu's life; otherwise, Tang San might never have found the ten-thousand-year-old Ninth-Rank Ginseng King, even after a lifetime of searching. This magical herb, after ten thousand years, seems to be virtually unknown.]
[For Ji Xiang, who saved his life, Tang San was willing to give a ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng King and teach him Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Tang Sect's unique skills. But for Bai He, who saved Xiao Wu, Tang San was unwilling to part with even a semi-immortal herb.]
[According to their grade, this crystal blood dragon ginseng ranks just below the Yearning Heartbroken Red. The only immortal herbs comparable to it in Tang San's hands are probably the Beautiful Silk Tulip given to Ning Rongrong and the Aromatic Silk Beauty herb given to Yang Wudi. Bai He's generosity in giving away such a top-grade immortal herb, yet ultimately gaining nothing, is quite notable.]
[At that time, Bai Chenxiang was only sixteen but already a level 44 soul ancestor. In terms of talent, she was not inferior to the Shrek Seven Devils before consuming the immortal herb. She and Shui Binger were geniuses of the same level.]
[And an important point: Sky Water Academy, where Shui Binger is located, has abundant resources. In contrast, the Speed Clan, where Bai Chenxiang resides, basically has no resources and often relies on help from the Breaking Clan. Bai He even struggles to take out a hundred gold soul coins. In such an environment, Bai Chenxiang still possesses such strength—truly a testament to her cultivation talent.]
