Several Soul Beast overlords reacted after hearing the Ten Thousand Demon King's words, looking at Ning Bei with unfriendly expressions, feeling deceived.
Ning Bei didn't panic, shaking his head as he looked at the Ten Thousand Demon King's playful face.
"Senior is right, I did hunt five Soul Beasts as my Spirit Rings, but that is the law of survival for Soul Masters, something that cannot be changed at the moment."
"Some carnivorous Soul Beasts will also hunt other Soul Beasts to fill their stomachs, right?"
"As for my partners in the Pill Tower, I can swear on my Spirit that I will never hunt them to become Spirit Rings."
"Of course, if they feel they cannot improve their strength, or their time is near, and they voluntarily sacrifice themselves to me, that's another matter. That way, I can reduce some of the killings in the Star Dou Great Forest."
After hearing Ning Bei's words, the expressions of the ferocious beasts visibly improved, and even the Ten Thousand Demon King's enchanting face softened a lot.
"Human, how much does your Spirit improve Soul Beasts?"
Ning Bei thought for a moment and answered the Ten Thousand Demon King's question.
"Currently, I can only help Soul Beasts below 40,000 years of cultivation to improve."
"My Pill Tower currently has five floors. The first floor can improve a Soul Beast's cultivation by one year every day. Each subsequent floor doubles the previous one. By this logic, the fifth floor can improve a Soul Beast's cultivation by 16 years every day."
Several Soul Beast overlords' expressions changed drastically upon hearing Ning Bei's introduction. Those who could cultivate to their level were not fools. According to the current development, when Ning Bei becomes a Titled Douluo, he can bring 256 years of cultivation to Soul Beasts every day. Creating a 100,000-year Soul Beast out of thin air would not be a dream.
Of course, this excludes those Soul Beasts whose bloodlines are fundamentally insufficient to reach the 100,000-year level.
"Boy, are you fooling us?"
Ning Bei shook his head and looked at A Bao in front of him.
"A Bao is a partner I found a year ago. At that time, he was just born, barely reaching the hundred-year level. Now, he already has 4,000 years of cultivation."
The beasts looked at A Bao in front of them and found that it was indeed the case, and their hearts immediately became active.
"Human, wait for me a moment."
Bi Ji watched the departing Ten Thousand Demon King, thought for a while, and also left the spot.
"And me, please wait."
Di Tian and the Bear Lord were stunned in place, wondering what these two were up to.
Before long, the Ten Thousand Demon King and Bi Ji returned, also bringing back a tree and a swan.
"This is an outstanding descendant of my Demon Eye Magic Tree clan, I'm handing it over to you to nurture."
Looking at the small sapling in front of him, uprooted with its branches constantly swaying, Ning Bei was speechless.
Aren't you being a little too rough, old man?
In comparison, Bi Ji was much gentler, constantly saying something to the emerald swan standing on her shoulder.
After a while, she looked at Ning Bei.
"Child, this is the little princess of my Emerald Swan clan, I'm also handing her over to you to nurture. I hope you treat her well."
Looking at the tree and the swan in front of him, Ning Bei's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was quite excited. With the Demon Eye Magic Tree, his Soul Beast team would have an additional main controller. When the Man-Faced Demon Spider enters the ten-thousand-year level and gains stealth abilities, it can switch to agility attack. Adding the strong attack meat shield A Bao, and the healer swan, his team is complete.
He nodded at the Ten Thousand Demon King and Bi Ji.
"Don't worry, two seniors, I will treat them as my best partners."
The two looked at Ning Bei with relief, quite pleased that the younger generation of their clans could receive excellent nurturing.
Ning Bei then summoned the Pill Tower and came before the two small beasts.
The two small beasts immediately became excited upon smelling the Pill Tower's fragrance. The Emerald Swan flew directly to the top of the tower, its emerald beak constantly pecking at the tower's body. The Demon Eye Magic Tree, not wanting to be left behind, controlled its branches to wrap around the Pill Tower.
Bi Ji, watching the two small beasts' actions, covered her mouth and giggled.
"It seems the two little fellows really like your Spirit," she said.
Ning Bei took the two Soul Beasts back into the Pill Tower, sensing their strength. He discovered that the Demon Eye Magic Tree had a cultivation of 1200 years, while the Emerald Swan was slightly higher, with a full 3000 years of cultivation, similar to Ning Bei's Man-Faced Demon Spider.
After a rough allocation, Ning Bei decided to place A Bao alone on the fifth floor, allowing it to first transform into a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, followed by the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The Emerald Swan and the Demon Eye Magic Tree would be placed together on the fourth floor. Although this would slightly reduce the effect, it would still bring them about four years of cultivation each day. Once the other two reached the Ten-Thousand-Year level, they would be placed on the fifth floor in turn.
After placing A Bao into the Pill Tower, Ning Bei turned to look at the group of ferocious beasts.
"Well then, seniors, I'll take my leave first. My elders at home are worried and must be very anxious about me."
The ferocious beasts nodded, looking at Di Tian with disdain. Anyone could guess how Ning Bei had been brought here.
Di Tian's old face flushed red under the gaze of the beasts. He quickly grabbed Ning Bei, tore open the space in front of him, and slipped inside.
After a while, a person and a beast appeared on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Kid, I'll send you here. Go back on your own."
Ning Bei nodded and bowed to Di Tian.
"Thank you, senior. I will remember the agreement and see you again when I reach the Soul Emperor level."
Di Tian nodded upon hearing this, then plunged into the space and disappeared.
In the lake in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest's outskirts, a huge bull's head emerged from the water, looking at the massive giant ape on the ground.
"Er Ming, did you sense that one's aura?"
"Roar."
Er Ming pounded his chest, indicating that he had felt it.
"That one's strength is truly terrifying. I wonder what happened this time that he appeared."
On the other side, the anxious Sword and Bone Titled Douluos and Ning Fengzhi once again searched the place where Ning Bei had absorbed the Spirit Ring, but still found nothing.
"What to do? Fengzhi."
Ning Fengzhi listened to Gu Rong's inquiry and pondered in silence for a while.
"Let's go back to the sect first. I will have the spies in Spirit Hall inquire about Bei'er's whereabouts, and then we'll make plans."
"Alas, that's all we can do. Let's go."
After Ning Bei left the Star Dou Great Forest, he found a small town nearby and immediately decided to go to the town to fill his stomach and buy a carriage for the journey.
This was a typical mercenary town, with a large number of mercenaries gathered here, forming teams to hunt for spirits in the Star Dou Great Forest. Merchants and inns mostly catered to these mercenaries.
After finding a clean restaurant and filling his stomach, Ning Bei asked the waiter for directions to the carriage shop, left a few Gold Soul Coins on the table, and departed.
Arriving at the carriage shop, Ning Bei bought the most luxurious carriage available, hired a coachman, and the two set off on the road to Seven Treasure City.
However, Ning Bei didn't see that after the carriage drove out of the town, a greedy face appeared in the shadows of a building, licking its lips as it watched the departing carriage.
