Chapter 171 The Forgotten Disciple Half an hour later. In Dugu Bo's dean's office. Ke Lin and Zhao Wuji were talking. "Thanks to the resources provided by the academy, Qinghe has broken through to the tenth level of soul power." As he spoke, Ke Lin pulled Xue Qinghe out from behind him. “Later, I have to take Qinghe to the Soul Hunting Forest near Wuhun City. Help him to hunt for the first soul ring there." After hearing Ke Lin's words, Zhao Wuji pointed at himself. “Bishop Colin, I will go with you. Dean Dugu Bo helped me solve the identity problem and directly allowed me to join the Wuhun Academy, but he didn't arrange any work for me.
I just happened to be too idle these days..." Before Zhao Wuji finished speaking, Qin Ming pushed the door open and walked in. When they saw Qin Ming, Kelin and the other three were a little surprised. "Your Highness, aren't you going to practice today?" Hearing this, Qin Ming spread his hands. "I encountered some annoying things today, so I just came out for a walk and relaxed." As he spoke, Qin Ming walked to the edge of the Xueqing River. After reaching out and rubbing Xue Qinghe's hair, Qin Ming looked at Ke Lin in front of him again. "Bishop Kelin, Qinghe has reached level 10 soul power. Does he need to hunt for his first soul ring? Why didn't you tell me? I am somewhat incompetent as a teacher..." Hearing Qin Ming say this, Xue Qinghe's originally nervous heart relaxed. Seeing this, Kelin responded with a smile. “Your Highness, this is my opinion. The golden age for soul masters to practice is before the age of 20. Your time is valuable and you take practice very seriously. So, I think there is no need to bother you with this kind of thing. Lao Zhao and I can directly take charge of this matter." After hearing what Ke Lin said, Qin Ming didn't say much on this topic. After turning his head and glancing at Dugu Bo's empty office area, Qin Ming asked with some confusion. “Where are Bishop Kelin, Elder Dugubo, and Axin? Aren’t they both here today?”
Dugu Bo's office is located in a corner of the Wuhun Academy. This office is beautifully decorated and the environment around it is quiet, so most of the time no one comes to disturb you. Only Dugu Bo's son Dugu Xin, Bishop Kelin, Xue Qinghe, and Zhao Wuji, whom Qin Ming was familiar with, would come over occasionally. Therefore, when Dugu Bo had nothing to do, he would stay here to practice. Just when Qin Ming was confused, Ke Lin began to explain. “Your Highness, I just found out this from asking the guard on duty outside. In the morning, someone from the Pope's Palace came to inform Elder Dugu Bo to gather. It seems that they are talking about studying soul cores. Although the gathering time was set for tonight, Elder Dugu Bo and the others felt that they had nothing to do so they went there early. Ah Xin was also brought there by Elder Dugu Bo..." After hearing what Ke Lin said, Qin Ming also reacted. Qian Daoliu said last night that he would take the lead in researching the second soul core. As the discoverer of soul cores and the first Titled Douluo to possess a soul core, Dugu Bo will definitely be summoned to participate in the research. Although Dugu Xin's soul power is not high now, he has taken the magic herb Xingluo Lingzhu which can help condense the soul core. It was not surprising that Dugu Bo brought Dugu Xin with him. After thinking it through, Qin Ming stopped dwelling on this issue. He looked at Xue Qinghe again and asked. "Bishop Kelin, Qinghe is his first spirit ring. What spirit beast will you choose for him?" Hearing Qin Ming's question, Ke Lin directly took out a book from his sleeve. After simply flipping through a few pages, Ke Lin pushed it in front of Qin Ming. “Your Highness, Qinghe’s swan martial spirit is relatively balanced, and there are many spirit beasts that are suitable for him. The ones I chose for him were the silver-winged birds and the bright crane, which might be able to provide Qinghe with flying soul skills. Or it could be the exquisite flower demon or Lingyuan White Deer who could provide auxiliary healing soul skills. As for the lifespan of the spirit ring, I think it should be more cautious! After all, Qinghe has only been practicing body-building techniques for a short time, and his body has not yet fully developed. Even with the thousand-year-old whale glue as a base, a spirit ring of around seven or eight hundred years should be enough." As he spoke, Kelin pointed to the marks he had made on the book. “Your Highness, I have seen the soul beasts I just mentioned in the illustrated manual. These soul beasts can be found in the Soul Hunting Forest outside Wuhun City. Moreover, the guards near the Soul Hunting Forest should have a topographic map with the soul beast territories marked on it.
It shouldn't be difficult for us to find these soul beasts. According to my estimation. This time, taking Qinghe to hunt souls, even including the round trip, one or two days is enough. " Hearing Ke Lin say this, Qin Ming nodded, took the things Ke Lin handed over and started to check them. After taking a quick look, Qin Ming nodded and returned the book in his hand. “Bishop Colin still has such a good vision. These soul beasts are indeed quite suitable for Qinghe." As he spoke, Qin Ming looked at Xue Qinghe beside him again. Although Qin Ming accepted Xue Qinghe just as a transaction between him and Emperor Xue Ye, Qin Ming would still fulfill his obligations. In addition, the Spirit Hall's plan to unify the continent will soon be implemented. Xue Qinghe, the legal first heir to the Tiandou Empire, is likely to play a key role in this plan in the future. Reaching out and rubbing Xue Qinghe's hair, Qin Ming thought again of his heir Dai Ying who was thrown into Wuhun City by Emperor Xingluo. With these two people around, Qin Ming believed that it would be much easier for Spirit Hall to establish trust with the two empires and successfully convince them. If we can succeed in negotiations, we will be able to successfully convince the royal families of the Tiandou and Xingluo empires. Then the Spirit Hall would not have to wage unnecessary wars and could completely unify the continent. Qin Ming would like to see the reduction of casualties among soul masters and civilian troops. Thinking of this, Qin Ming spoke directly. “Bishop Kelin, it’s still early, let’s go soul hunting right away. Try to finish the operation as soon as possible..." After simply discussing the details of this trip with Ke Lin and the others, Qin Ming and the others didn't waste any more time and headed straight out of Wuhun City... Two hours later. The carriage carrying four people sped through the canyon that was the only way to enter and exit Wuhun City. At this time, the Lion Douluo opened his eyes after hearing the sound. After a simple mental investigation, Lion Douluo murmured in surprise. "Qin Ming, this kid isn't practicing? This is rare to see.” As he spoke, the Lion Douluo's eyes became a little strange. "The kid in the carriage who is only about six or seven years old seems to be Qin Ming's disciple, right? I remember his name seemed to be Xue Qinghe. Logically speaking, he should be considered my disciple..."
