After sending off the reluctant Niu Li and Tai Meng, Bai Yue returned to his room to attempt White Phoenix possession.
He felt that with the experience of Niu Li and Tai Meng's Spirit possession, his chances of success had greatly increased.
He had a slight feeling before, and now with their experience, he might quickly find the trick to White Phoenix possession.
"White Phoenix possession!"
Bai Yue, full of confidence, shouted that phrase again, releasing his spirit power, but what appeared before him was still the White Phoenix.
The man and the phoenix stared at each other for a while.
"This isn't right. I was clearly following the feeling Sister Li and Sister Meng had."
Bai Yue murmured to himself. He clearly had a strong sense of Spirit possession just now.
However, it was still missing that tiny bit, something indescribable.
He tried a few more times, and the feeling grew stronger, but it was still missing that tiny bit, as if something could just pierce through that barrier.
Bai Yue was speechless.
Good heavens, this feeling must be from Pin Duo Duo, always just a little short. No matter how many times he tried, it was always just a little bit short.
Bai Yue was still thinking about this during dinner.
"Little Yue, you have Innate Full Soul Power. You reached level ten after awakening your Spirit and can now attach a spirit ring."
"Tomorrow, Dad will take you to hunt a Spirit Beast. Our Speed Clan all attach speed-type spirit rings. I see your White Phoenix also mutated from a Needle Tailed Swift, so attaching a speed-attribute spirit ring shouldn't be a problem."
During dinner, Bai He brought up the matter of hunting a Spirit Beast for Bai Yue to attach a spirit ring.
This was the hope for their Speed Clan's rise, so attaching a spirit ring was certainly an important matter.
However, the choice of spirit ring was difficult for Bai He, as their family's Spirit was the Needle Tailed Swift, while Bai Yue awakened the mutated Spirit, White Phoenix.
But that White Phoenix seemed to be an advanced version of the Needle Tailed Swift, without mutating any new attributes, so they could refer to the spirit rings attached to their Needle Tailed Swift Spirit.
That's right, attaching a spirit ring, it must be attaching a spirit ring!
That little bit that was missing was attaching a spirit ring, it must be!
Bai Yue was reminded by Bai He. He felt that the little bit missing from his feeling was attaching a spirit ring.
The White Phoenix Spirit was extremely noble. To achieve Spirit possession, it might be like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, where only a partial dragon transformation is possible after attaching a spirit ring.
He, on the other hand, could only achieve partial phoenix transformation after attaching a spirit ring.
"Okay, Dad."
Bai Yue sped up his eating. He wanted to go back to his room to verify it now.
Although he already had a preferred spirit ring choice in mind and didn't need his father's help to hunt a Spirit Beast, he didn't refute him at the moment and agreed first.
After returning to his room, Bai Yue examined the ten Needle Tailed Swifts.
"Now I need one Needle Tailed Swift to offer its life and soul for me. Who is willing?"
Bai Yue asked. He asked this because he wanted to choose one Needle Tailed Swift to become his spirit ring.
Of course, this kind of spirit ring was different from ordinary spirit rings. Through'Steal Heart,' he could absorb the Needle Tailed Swift's life and soul, achieving an effect similar to a Spirit Beast's sacrifice.
After discussing with the system, he believed that the effect achieved by this method of obtaining a spirit ring should be similar to a Spirit Soul, possessing the ability to grow.
By defeating Spirit Beasts and absorbing their spirit power, it could grow in terms of its age.
"Chirp… chirp… chirp…"
The Needle Tailed Swifts chirped excitedly, eagerly volunteering.
They had known about this for a long time, and knowing that they could transform into their master's spirit ring and always be with their master, they were certainly willing.
"Hmm, for this matter, let's go by age order. Boss, you will be my first spirit ring."
Bai Yue saw that all the Needle Tailed Swifts wanted to become his spirit ring, but there was only one spot available now, so he went by age order.
The 'Boss' Bai Yue referred to was naturally not his boss, but the oldest among the Needle Tailed Swifts.
This way of addressing is quite common among parents when referring to their multiple children.
Parents also address each other this way; for example, a child's mother might call the child's father 'Daddy,' which doesn't mean she is calling him her father, but rather an abbreviation for 'the child's father.'
However, if they are playing a game, it might not be the case.
"Chirp!"
The oldest Needle Tailed Swift chirped excitedly, flying into Bai Yue's outstretched palm at an unusual speed for a bird.
"Are you that happy? To be honest, I'm also very excited, so I'll begin."
Bai Yue used his finger to scratch the Needle Tailed Swift's head. This was a spot birds couldn't scratch themselves, so scratching them there made them feel very comfortable.
Although offering one's life and soul did not mean perishing, it did mean losing the physical body.
Even if there was a physical body later, it would be a body condensed from spirit power.
So Bai Yue let the Needle Tailed Swift enjoy one last session of petting and scratching, after which he kissed the Needle Tailed Swift.
As Bai Yue kissed it, white flames ignited on the Needle Tailed Swift's body, an anomaly similar to what occurs during a 100,000-year Spirit Beast's sacrifice.
However, this Needle Tailed Swift was only one year old. Even if its cultivation wasn't equivalent to its age, it could at most be considered a ten-year Spirit Beast.
Therefore, the color of these flames was only white, and somewhat translucent, clearly due to its extremely low age.
Fortunately, after becoming Bai Yue's Spirit Soul, this age could continue to increase.
This was also why Bai Yue didn't refuse Bai He's offer to hunt a Spirit Beast for him. At that time, he could pretend this spirit ring belonged to the hunted Spirit Beast.
After refining the Spirit Beast's spirit ring, the Needle Tailed Swift would certainly be able to advance from ten-year cultivation to hundred-year cultivation.
If both were hundred-year spirit rings, absorbing the spirit power from a Spirit Beast's spirit ring might not achieve such a degree of age increase; it wouldn't simply stack directly.
But a ten-year spirit ring absorbing the spirit power of a hundred-year spirit ring would certainly reach the age of that hundred-year spirit ring.
The white flames burned away the Needle Tailed Swift's physical body, and finally, along with its soul, it transformed into a white spirit ring, merging into Bai Yue's body.
During a 100,000-year Spirit Beast's sacrifice, if the soul is also sacrificed, the resulting spirit ring can ignore the Spirit Master's level.
Regardless of whether the Spirit Master has reached the level requiring a spirit ring, the spirit ring can perfectly fuse with the Spirit Master and will only appear when the Spirit Master reaches the required level.
However, with a 100,000-year spirit ring, as long as the level isn't too low, the spirit power it provides can generally allow the Spirit Master to directly reach the level requiring a spirit ring, so this effect honestly isn't very useful.
Bai Yue thought of the spirit ring sacrifice. His'Steal Heart' achieved an effect similar to a sacrifice that includes the soul.
Since this method can ignore levels, doesn't that mean he can now have the remaining nine Needle Tailed Swifts also transform into his spirit rings?
When he reaches the level requiring a spirit ring, the spirit rings would then appear on their own.
"What a great idea!"
Bai Yue was somewhat moved, thinking this was a good idea.
He suddenly thought of something.
Wait, wouldn't I look like a transformed Spirit Beast this way?
If he were to let the remaining nine Needle Tailed Swifts transform into his spirit rings now, then when he reached the required level, the spirit rings would automatically appear.
It would look just like the self-condensed spirit rings of a transformed Spirit Beast.
Thinking of this, Bai Yue abandoned the idea of attaching all the spirit rings now.
Although he didn't have the aura of a Spirit Beast, if people discovered that his spirit rings automatically appeared when he reached the required level, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Even without the aura of a Spirit Beast, others would suspect whether he had used some method to conceal his Spirit Beast aura.
