"Titan! I order you to strictly command the Sects to remain secluded for a period of time, to guard against retaliation from the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Also, seize this time to improve the Sects' strength! I've given you the materials and recipe for the Medicinal Bath! But nothing is given for free, remember that!"
"Also, this is an improved body tempering method."
Lin Xiao pulled out a book from his chest and tossed it to Titan.
This was a book where he had looked at the Strength Clan's body tempering secret methods, combined with some basic principles of the Eight Section Brocade, and made some improvements, which could nourish the body while exercising the physique.
Of course, the most important thing was the Medicinal Bath.
Titan knelt down excitedly, "I obey your command, Master!"
Behind him, all the elders were very excited.
The Strength Clan was really afraid of being poor!
Following the Clear Sky Sect, they didn't get any benefits, and they didn't even get paid for working for them for nothing;
Later, when the Clear Sky Sect provoked Spirit Hall, the Strength Clan was kicked away, making the Strength Clan's already poor days even worse under the suppression of Spirit Hall!
How could Lin Xiao be so generous!
Titan pounded his chest and guaranteed:
"Master, don't worry, our Strength Clan has survived so many years of suppression by Spirit Hall, let alone the Clear Sky Sect!"
"I will lead the clansmen to recuperate and build up strength, so as to carry out Master's orders at any time!"
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, without much expression on his face.
In fact, this also showed his attitude.
He believed in practical actions more than verbal promises!
...
Two days later.
Lin Xiao, who left the Strength Clan, appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Next, he had one year.
After one year, it would be almost time for the Soul Master Competition.
"The urgent matters at hand are, one, to hunt for the fifth Soul Ring, and the other is to wait for Feng Yu to undergo its first Nirvana."
"Roughly calculated, there is still plenty of time."
Lin Xiao was thinking, should he do something in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Well, let's solve the Soul Ring problem first.
Lin Xiao took out a thick book from the Storage Soul Tool. This was the Complete Soul Beast Illustrated Handbook, the most complete illustrated book of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not to be lent out.
Lin Xiao bought a copy through Meng Shenji's connections.
This time, the Soul Beast Lin Xiao was going to hunt was called "Cloud Piercing Falcon".
The Cloud Piercing Falcon is a kind of raptor, especially outstanding in speed.
And with the words "Cloud Piercing" in front, there is no doubt that it has unique advantages in speed and extremely powerful combat power.
This is the Soul Beast Feng Yu recommended to Lin Xiao.
"This kind of Soul Beast should be the ceiling of the agility attack type, and the reason Feng Yu gave is that it also has Phoenix Bloodline, although it is relatively thin, but the fifth Soul Ring I want to hunt has a cultivation of more than 30,000 years."
"With this cultivation, the Phoenix Bloodline in the Cloud Piercing Falcon that has grown up will be purified, and it has already stood out in the same group."
Lin Xiao thought for a while, believing that the biggest difficulty in hunting the Cloud Piercing Falcon was its speed.
It is extremely difficult for him to hunt head-on.
It seems that he can only outsmart it.
Shuttling through the dense primeval forest, some Soul Beasts attacked Lin Xiao on the way, but Lin Xiao could usually kill them directly.
The more difficult ones to deal with simply unfolded their Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings and quickly distanced themselves.
Arriving in front of a lake, Feng Yu told Lin Xiao that she sensed the aura of the Cloud Piercing Falcon.
Lin Xiao looked into the distance, and saw an extremely steep cliff standing on the lake, and the Cloud Piercing Falcon built its nest in a cave at the top of the cliff.
When it goes out to forage for food, it starts directly from the top of the cliff, and after foraging, it returns to the cave at the cliff from high in the sky.
This environment is quite safe.
The Cloud Piercing Falcon almost avoids conflicts with land Soul Beasts.
If a Soul Master can't fly, or doesn't fly high enough, they can't hit the opponent at all.
However, Lin Xiao is obviously not in this category.
Lin Xiao did not act rashly, but waited quietly.
Finally, he waited for the Cloud Piercing Falcon to leave its nest once.
Without saying a word, Lin Xiao unfolded his Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings and flew straight into the sky, entering the Cloud Piercing Falcon's nest.
The nest is extremely huge.
And it has a bird-like fluff smell.
Not very pleasant.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Feng Yu, if all the birds were as good-smelling as you, that would be great."
Feng Yu has no smell.
And the feathers are as bright and smooth as satin, full of high-end feeling.
Feng Yu: "Goo goo!"
"Spotless, clean and flawless; isn't this the most basic characteristic of the Phoenix?"
"Lin Xiao, aren't you the same? Your body is already a glazed body, and impurities are discharged regularly. You basically only need to rinse with water to maintain the cleanliness of your body surface."
When the cultivation base is higher.
Taking a bath wouldn't make one cleaner, and stepping on the ground wouldn't make one muddy.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
"However, the Cloud Piercing Falcon's feather smell also helped me out. Colorless and odorless poison that can take down a 30,000-year Soul Beast is too expensive, and even requires the use of Ten Thousand Year Herbs to mix."
"Borrowing this feather smell, I can also mask it with some lighter-smelling toxins."
Lin Xiao rummaged through his Storage Soul Tool.
He poisoned the area beneath the Cloud Piercing Falcon's nest.
Then, he came to the back of the cliff, wedged himself into a rock crevice, and had Feng Yu help him conceal his aura.
The Cloud Piercing Falcon's eyesight was excellent, but the rock crevice Lin Xiao chose was very deep, and it couldn't see the position inside.
He waited for about two hours.
Lin Xiao heard the sound of wings cutting through the air, almost like a helicopter.
The Cloud Piercing Falcon should be back.
Once the Cloud Piercing Falcon entered the cave.
Lin Xiao didn't say a word, the scarlet Fire Phoenix in his Palm constantly compressed, a miniature Phoenix gradually taking shape. Immediately, Lin Xiao detonated the miniature Phoenix behind a load-bearing boulder in the cave.
"Boom!"
"Rumble~ Rumble~"
The first loud noise was the sound of the Flame Burst.
The continuous sounds that followed were the sound of the cave collapsing and boulders rolling down.
The Cloud Piercing Falcon was startled and wanted to rush out of the cave immediately.
It was extremely fast, usually fast enough to rush out before the cave collapsed, but at this moment, its wings suddenly went numb, and its body was weak, and it didn't have time to rush out.
Outside the cave.
Lin Xiao's slender and wide Scarlet Wings gently fluttered behind him, while he hovered in the air.
In his Palm, three types of flames frantically fused and compressed.
At the same time, he stared at the cave without blinking.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of a bird's beak hitting the rock wall came one after another. When a sharp bird cry came through the obstruction of the rock, Lin Xiao decisively pushed out the Tri-Color Fire Lotus in his hand.
Tri-Color Phoenix Wrath Fire Lotus!
Explode for me!
Lin Xiao fully activated the Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings, used the Flame Burst Technique, and retreated explosively!
"Screech—"
A wail was heard.
A point-blank instant explosion directly blew the Cloud Piercing Falcon's head to pieces.
It hadn't even had a chance to show off its speed before it received its lunchbox.
A deep black Soul Ring rose from the crater blasted into the cliff.
The age was approximately thirty-five thousand years.
There's one more chapter, to be released in about 20 minutes.
