The numerous soul-hunting forests across the continent are places where the Spirit Hall cooperates with the Tiandou Empire or the Star Luo Empire to raise low-level soul beasts in captivity.
There are mostly ten-year soul beasts and century-old soul beasts here. The number of thousand-year soul beasts is very rare. As for the ten-thousand-year soul beasts... there are none at all.
Therefore, the Soul Hunting Forest is a paradise for low-level soul masters and the first choice for soul masters to add soul rings in the early stage.
To be honest, although the members of Wuhun Palace have some problems, no one can deny its huge contribution to Douluo Continent.
This is especially true for civilian soul masters.
After all, if the Wuhun Palace hadn't helped children of school age awaken martial souls across the continent, regularly distributed soul master subsidies, worked hard to manage the soul hunting forest, and checked and balanced the two empires, how could civilian soul masters have ever had a chance to succeed.
If there was no Wuhun Palace, their best result would probably be to be used as leeks for the nobles and sects, cutting off one crop after another.
In fact, most children with soul master talents cannot even awaken their martial souls.
In short, Wuhun Palace has absolute authority among civilian soul masters.
Without further ado, if a soul master wants to enter the soul hunting forest to hunt soul beasts, he needs a token.
As for how to get the token…
First, the Spirit Hall needs to confirm that the soul master's soul power reaches the standard, and secondly, it needs the guarantee of three nobles.
This is the value of the Soul Master Academy. The academy can provide noble guarantees to help students reduce trouble.
At the gate of the Soul Hunting Forest, four hundred miles away from Notting City, the guard asked with a surprised look on his face, holding the lowest level token.
"Just the two of you go in! No adults?"
Ye Yuan replied confidently.
"No, the two of us are enough."
"Then...you'd better not go too far. If you encounter danger, run back quickly."
The guard hesitated for a moment and did not try to persuade them any more. He just felt pity secretly in his heart. In his opinion, these two children must be the sons of powerless civilians.
I don't know what happened, but even the school teachers didn't care about them and let them go through such a dangerous thing alone.
In fact, he was wrong. It wasn't that the teacher at Notting College didn't want to take care of it, he was just rejected by Ye Yuan.
Because, Ye Yuan has something important, something he doesn't want to be known about.
"Squeak..."
After the door was pushed open, Ye Yuan took Mo Yu and disappeared into the forest without a trace.
In fact, during the few days that Tang San left, Ye Yuan and Mo Yu, besides attending classes and completing work, basically spent time in the academy library to figure out the type of soul beast they needed.
"Xiaoyu, what kind of soul ring are you planning to add?"
Mo Yu had already planned the choice of her first soul ring, and at this moment, she blurted it out without thinking.
"It can be offensive, sharp, or sturdy. However, I have read the information about this soul hunting forest. Sword bamboo has been found here. I want to take a look."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Ye Yuan nodded clearly. The characteristics of Jianzhu did match her martial spirit, but it was not easy to find the right year.
"Swish..."
The sound of sweeping leaves made the two people's nerves immediately tense. They summoned their martial spirits and looked at the direction of the sound vigilantly.
Suddenly, a little white rabbit emerged from the grass, and looked at the two unexpected visitors with its red eyes, stunned.
Ye Yuan had already recognized it. After all, its red eyes were too obvious. It was the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, Xiao Wu's sibling.
Ye Yuan's face lit up and he felt the urge to "cry".
"It's less than a hundred years old, and it's not suitable for us either."
Mo Yu's words woke up the little rabbit, and it ran away and disappeared in an instant.
Ye Yuan also recovered from the spicy rabbit head and said seriously.
"Ahem, please lead the way. Let's go to Jianzhu first."
"Um."
Although the Soul Hunting Forest is a primitive jungle, with the continuous entry of human soul masters, the primitive atmosphere has long since disappeared.
On the contrary, there are human footprints everywhere in the Soul Hunting Forest, and small battlefields can also be seen everywhere.
If the number of young soul masters continues to increase, I am afraid that this soul hunting forest will not be able to last for many years.
Human soul masters are born one after another every year. Soul masters with enough talent can cultivate to the level of titled Douluo for decades or hundreds of years. They need to hunt ten thousand or even one hundred thousand year old soul beasts as soul rings.
There are also many low-level soul masters, and the number of soul beasts consumed every year is extremely exaggerated.
Compared with the growth rate of human beings, soul beasts are too slow.
The output is far lower than the consumption. If this continues, sooner or later the soul beast resources will be exhausted.
And if the soul beast is extinct, what will the soul master use as a soul ring?
Therefore, excessive hunting of soul beasts is not a good thing.
However, this has nothing to do with Ye Yuan, he is just a passerby.
According to records in the Notting College Library, the location of Jianzhu is ten miles southeast.
This is still the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest. Most of the soul beasts are not very strong, mostly ten-year-old soul beasts.
An hour later, the two came to a small hill with a bamboo forest on it. If you look closely, you will find that most of them are ordinary bamboos.
"is it here?"
"Yes."
Mo Yu nodded.
"Well, let's summon the martial spirit now to be prepared."
Using his soul power, a small tripod with a round belly and two ears and three legs appeared on Ye Yuan's hand. It was still gray and unremarkable at all.
A short sword appeared in Mo Yu's hand, which now looked more like a long dagger.
In fact, this is normal. This dagger changes according to her height, and is also the most suitable for her to fight with strength.
Although martial souls without attached soul rings have no soul skills, the martial soul itself has combat effectiveness and is not weak at all. This is the confidence they have to hunt soul beasts alone.
Besides, their targets this time are not beast-like soul beasts, and their requirements for combat power are not high.
The two of them worked hard, not entirely out of fear of danger, but in order not to miss Jianzhu.
In the middle of the bamboo forest, Mo Yu stood there with a frown on his face.
"Gone."
It is recorded in the book that there is a sword-bamboo spirit beast in the center of the bamboo forest that is over a hundred years old, but now there is nothing here.
Ye Yuan hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.
"If it's gone, it's gone. Let's search all the bamboo forests. If it's not found, we'll look elsewhere. Anyway, there are plenty of soul beasts, and there's bound to be one that suits you."
"good."
Mo Yu's brows relaxed, and there was a hint of smile deep in his eyes.
There are still some soul beasts in the dense bamboo forest, such as lone bamboo, black bamboo, polygonatum...
It's a pity that they are only ten-year soul beasts, and the soul rings produced by ten-year soul beasts have too weak soul skills, and they hardly help in cultivation, so Mo Yu naturally doesn't like them.
At the very least, she would need a hundred-year soul ring to match her innate soul power.
According to a summary by a well-known master, the upper limit of the age of a soul master's first soul ring is 432 years.
Of course, this is just the opinion of a certain master and is not accurate.
By the way, this certain master made this conclusion based on the massive amount of information in Wuhun Palace.
As for the limit year of the first soul ring, considering the physical fitness and martial soul strength of Ye Yuan and Mo Yu, 432 years is not the upper limit at all.
As for the specific number, Ye Yuan is not sure, but choosing a five-hundred-year-old soul beast is not a problem anyway.
