Chapter 154: Zi Ji, Go Let Him Study
Bai Yu blinked, a hint of curiosity appearing on his face.
“Hmm? You already know my Soul Convergence Seal very well, don’t you? Is there anything you don’t know? Then tell me?”
Gu Yuena shook her head and said,
“I’ve only heard you talk about it; I don’t really understand it.”
“You said before that the main part of this Soul Convergence Seal is composed of the Spirit Beast’s Spirit Power Operation Route and an attribute simulation device.”
“If you study a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, engrave its Spirit Power Operation Route, and make it into a Soul Convergence Seal,”
“Then will the spirit ring produced by this Soul Convergence Seal be fixed at ten thousand years? Can it not be increased or decreased?”
Hearing Gu Yuena’s question, Bai Yu looked enlightened and chuckled softly.
“Haha, I understand what you mean. You’re worried about needing to find too many Spirit Beasts, aren’t you?”
“Actually, it’s not that troublesome. Spirit Beasts generally have clans. I only need to find the highest-level one, and I don’t need to worry about the others.”
“The Soul Convergence Seal does have certain flaws, but it’s not as rigid as you think, because even if a Spirit Beast’s age changes, as long as there isn’t a significant increase, the spirit power route won’t change.”
“Taking the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast you mentioned as an example, it will follow that route until it advances to twenty thousand years.”
“So, after its spirit power route is engraved into a Soul Convergence Seal, the spirit ring produced will have a duration between ten thousand years and twenty thousand years.”
“Moreover, the further along you go, the smaller the range of change becomes. There is no change in the intervals from twenty thousand to forty thousand years, forty thousand to seventy thousand years, and seventy thousand to under one hundred thousand years.”
Gu Yuena and the other woman stared at Bai Yu without blinking, listening intently.
Although as Spirit Beasts, they should theoretically understand these things better than Bai Yu, unfortunately, they had never studied them.
It wasn’t until they heard Bai Yu speak just now that they realized how the spirit power routes within Spirit Beasts changed.
Gu Yuena then frowned slightly. She recalled what Bai Yu had just said: that he only needed to find the highest-level Spirit Beast in a clan, and the others were not necessary.
But this was clearly wrong. For example, if the king of a clan was a hundred-thousand-year-old, what about the remaining few levels? Were they not needed?
“Bai Yu, you just said that you only need to find the highest-level Spirit Beast in a clan. Does that mean with a high-level Soul Convergence Seal, you can directly create lower-level ones?”
Bai Yu’s lips curved slightly upward, and he nodded.
“That’s right. As long as you have a high-level Spirit Power Operation Route, it’s very easy to deduce the lower-level ones in reverse.”
“After all, with the highest-level template, it’s very easy to achieve this, because it’s a deduction from existence to non-existence.”
“But if it were the other way around, from non-existence to existence, using lower-level ones to deduce higher-level ones, then the difficulty would be much greater, arguably impossible.”
After Bai Yu finished speaking, not only Gu Yuena but also Zi Ji understood Bai Yu’s plan: to first study the highest-level ones, and then he would deduce the lower-level ones himself.
This method would save time searching for lower-level Spirit Beasts.
And Gu Yuena also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had decided to help, it was good to save some effort. Otherwise, recording each level would be truly troublesome.
“In that case, when do you plan to start?”
Hearing Gu Yuena’s question, Bai Yu did not hesitate and said directly,
“The sooner the better. The spirit power route of high-level Spirit Beasts is complex. Even if I knock them out and they don’t resist at all, with my ability, it would still take nearly a day to fully record one Spirit Beast.”
“And there are many types of Spirit Beasts. One type of Spirit Beast takes one day, plus the time spent searching, the overall time consumed will not be short.”
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, thinking that this guy was quite a show-off.
Searching? Searching for what?! As long as they arrived at a Spirit Beast habitat, she would release her aura and call out; who would dare not come?
Then, a playful glint appeared in Gu Yuena’s eyes, and she tapped her finger on the stone table.
“Haha, since you’re in a hurry, let’s start now. Zi Ji, go let him study you. I also want to see how this Soul Convergence Seal is made.”
“Ah? × 2”
At this moment, both Bai Yu and Zi Ji were dumbfounded. Neither of them had expected Gu Yuena to suddenly pull such a move.
However, although Zi Ji was curious why Gu Yuena had exposed herself, as a maid, she couldn’t ask too many questions. Whatever her master said was what it was.
Then Zi Ji gave Bai Yu a deadpan look, walked up to him, and said coldly,
“How do you want to study? Do I need to cooperate? Hurry up, start now!”
Bai Yu’s mouth twitched. He was a bit at a loss for words. Then he took a deep breath, ignored Zi Ji beside him, turned to Gu Yuena, and said,
“Gu Yuena, what do you mean by this? I need to study Spirit Beasts. What’s the point of having me study this idiot?”
Hearing Bai Yu call her an idiot, Zi Ji beside him gnashed her teeth furiously, her dragon eyes even showing in anger, wishing she could bite him to death.
Gu Yuena looked at Bai Yu’s almost distorted expression and let out a laugh like silver bells, thinking, “Let you act so proper, now you’re stumped, aren’t you!”
“Haha, who told you Zi Ji isn’t a Spirit Beast? Not just her, even I am considered a member of the Spirit Beast clan.”
“When we met at that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before, didn’t I tell you that it was the burial ground of two old friends of mine?”
“Now I tell you, those two old friends were of my kind, and I am the Silver Dragon King, the co-ruler of all Spirit Beasts.”
Bai Yu’s face was stiff at this moment, unsure what kind of trick Gu Yuena was playing by suddenly revealing her identity.
But to be honest, his little heart was pounding a bit. What if Gu Yuena didn’t play fair and directly suppressed him to the Life Lake to be a laborer?
“Heh, heh, so Gu Yuena, you have such an identity! That truly opens my eyes!”
“Cough, by the way, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to deal with. How about we call it a day today? We can discuss the Soul Convergence Seal later when I have time!”
Bai Yu said this while standing up and striding towards the door.
Gu Yuena watched Bai Yu’s retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly, and she said,
“Heh, come back.”
“Alright!”
Bai Yu immediately turned around, a fawning smile on his face, and scurried back.
“Why are you running? I didn’t say I was going to do anything to you. Your Soul Convergence Seal is also beneficial to my clan, and based on that, I agreed to help.”
“Besides, I’m not asking for nothing. Later, when you advance to Title Douluo, I will also need your help with something.”
“So you can rest assured, I won’t do anything to you.”
After Gu Yuena finished speaking, Bai Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew he wouldn’t be in danger, but he was just afraid that Gu Yuena wouldn’t wait and would just tie him up and drag him back.
