Chapter 155 Beast Soul
"Since you've come to my animal enclosure, why don't you stay a little longer, young master?"
"No, I came here at Elder Xu's invitation to try your century-old monkey wine. But I've already been delayed for too long, so I have to go back now. Elder Xu, there's no need to see me off."
"Young master, what are you saying? I was just afraid that I hadn't taken good care of you!" Xu Mu said with a fawning expression.
Bai Ke was getting impatient with Xu Mu's polite words, but he showed no displeasure on the surface. A glance out of the corner of his eye caught sight of the spot where the fire beast had been when they entered, and he remembered the skill he used when he used the playing cards.
Suddenly an idea struck him: why not test it out? So he abruptly stopped, turned to Xu Mu, and said, "Elder Xu, I need your help with something."
Xu Mu asked with a puzzled look, "I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, young master? I will do my best to help."
"Hehe, it's nothing big, I just want to ask you for a few beast souls."
Xu Mu was startled: "Beast Soul? I wonder what use you have for it, young master. I know I shouldn't be asking, but most of the methods related to souls are heretical and unorthodox practices that are not accepted by the righteous path."
"Young master, you are young and have a bright future ahead of you. You must not be led astray by those evil ways."
Bai Ke, unaware that Xu Mu had thought of this, chuckled and said, "Elder Xu, you are overthinking it. I want this beast soul because I recently acquired a magic artifact that I heard can nourish the soul and enhance cultivation."
"I think if we can use this magic tool well, wouldn't it be twice as effective with half the effort in the future?"
"Since I only recently acquired this magical artifact, I don't know much about it yet. So I thought I'd borrow a few beast souls from you to test it out."
Xu Mu certainly didn't believe this, but considering that Xu Mu himself was of high caliber and his father held a high position, he shouldn't be so inclined to take such crooked paths or practice any kind of demonic arts.
Furthermore, he had just made Bai Ke remember a favor he had done for him. If he didn't grant Bai Ke's request this time, and Bai Ke held a grudge, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Thinking of this, Xu Mu felt relieved. He chuckled a few times and said to Bai Ke, "Since you're using it for experiments, what harm is there in lending a few beast souls?"
"Come here!" Xu Mu ordered his disciples behind him, "Bring me my soul-collecting bag."
The disciple bowed in agreement, then took out the soul-collecting bag, handed it to Xu Mu, and withdrew.
Bai Ke accepted the soul-collecting bag and politely said to Xu Mu, "Thank you very much for today's matter, Elder Xu. In that case, there's no need for you to see me off, please stay."
Xu Mu didn't refuse any longer, nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "Young master, please feel free to ask me anything in the future. I won't see you off then. Take care, young master."
After saying that, he watched Bai Ke and his servant leave.
After Bai Ke and A Can returned to Chijie Cliff, Bai Ke instructed A Can, "Don't bother me with irrelevant people or trivial matters. I need to rest for a while."
Ah-chan bowed and agreed, then went out to close the door for Bai-ke.
Seeing Ah Can leave, Bai Ke sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate his inner energy. He calmed his mind and gathered his spiritual power in his dantian, then spread it throughout his body.
Bai Ke flipped his left hand, and a deck of cards appeared in his palm.
Bai Ke selected the three cards JQK and arranged them in order, suspending them in the air. Then he took out the Soul Collection Bag and released the three beast souls.
Then Bai Ke used his spiritual power to directly catalyze the playing cards, quietly waiting for something.
Today, when he used these three playing cards to deal with that male fire beast, if he wasn't mistaken, the fire beast was completely weak and swaying, showing no fighting ability whatsoever; it was clearly a case of its soul being stolen.
So who stole its soul? The answer is obvious. It turns out that not only do these four different elemental patterns have different attack moves.
Furthermore, the minions in the JQK cards can absorb souls. Therefore, Bai Ke decided to give it a try.
As soon as the three beast souls came into contact with the three catalyzed playing cards, they were immediately and rapidly absorbed.
The three beast souls seemed to struggle, but ultimately they were no match for the powerful, and soon they were sealed inside the playing cards.
Seeing this, Bai Ke launched another burst of spiritual energy towards the three cards.
As soon as Bai Ke exerted his power, the three playing cards released the three beast souls that he had just collected.
Seeing this, Bai Ke was overjoyed. He thought to himself, "Goodness, this is indeed a treasure."
"These three cards can both collect and release souls. If I use them properly, I'm afraid that no matter who comes near these three cards, their soul will be sucked away, leaving them powerless to fight back."
"Moreover, the absorbed souls are sealed in the cards. If I can refine the souls and playing cards to my advantage, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"
Thinking of this, Bai Ke became even more excited and quickly put the three beast souls into his soul-collecting bag.
Just then, he suddenly felt something unusual in his arms. Looking down, he saw that the Xuanwu beast was acting up again.
Bai Ke chuckled and pulled it out of his arms, saying, "I almost forgot about you, little thing."
As an evolving Xuanwu divine beast, half-turtle and half-divine beast, it should prefer to stay in places with water and soil.
The four ancient primordial spirits are the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.
Earth, fire, water, and wind; the Azure Dragon governs water, the Vermilion Bird governs fire, the White Tiger governs wind, and the Black Tortoise governs earth.
Thinking of this, Bai Ke instructed A-Can, "A-Can, come in."
Upon hearing the sound, Ah-Can entered and replied, "What are your orders, young master?"
"Go find a large cauldron, fill it with some clean water and mud, and if possible, plant a couple of lotus flowers in it. After you've done that, put it in my room. I'm going to give my divine beast a comfortable nest."
"Huh?" Ah-Can asked, puzzled.
Seeing this, Bai Ke said, "What 'huh'? Hurry up and go. Do you have a problem with what I said?"
"Oh, no, young master. But this is no ordinary item. Isn't it a bit hasty to just put it in a large cauldron?" Ah-Can asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Hey! Just go when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions? Are you the young master or am I the young master?" Bai Ke said, giving A-Can a flick on the forehead.
Ah-chan then walked away, looking dejected, and touched his head.
Bai Ke looked at the Xuanwu in his hand, then suddenly raised his hand, bit off a finger, and offered it to the divine beast. The beast immediately seemed to be injected with stimulants, its eyes shining, and it quickly grabbed Bai Ke's finger and began to suck on it.
“My blood is indeed very tempting to you,” Bai Ke said.
After Bai Ke used his blood to hatch Xuanwu, he knew that he had consumed the essence of the fire dragon, which had melted into his blood.
Dragons and Xuanwu are both divine beasts, so their blood is different from ordinary blood, and it is especially delicious to Xuanwu.
Thinking of this, Bai Ke said fiercely to Xiao Xuanwu, "You really do pick the best to eat! But I can't feed you every day, at most twice a month, otherwise I'll be ruined if you eat me until I'm deficient in qi and blood."
Just then, Ah-Can suddenly came in and reported, "Young Master, the Master wants to see you!"
