Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 9 Choice
When they heard Xiao Lin Yi say that he had already thought about it, they all showed interested expressions.

Ouyang Xi said: "Tell me about it."

"My martial soul is a tree. Although a tree can be roughly divided into three parts: roots, trunk, and crown, the most important and primary part is the roots. The first soul ring is the time to lay the foundation, so I hope that the first soul ring can strengthen the roots of the golden tree."

Several adults looked at each other, with surprise and satisfaction in their eyes. For a six-year-old child to be able to think to this extent, it was already excellent.

Moon continued to test the teacher, "Do you have a soul beast you like?"

"As for soul beasts, well, I've only seen a few in the illustrated guide, so I don't know much about them. However, I did find a soul beast that fits my idea very well."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Blue Silver Grass."

"?!!"

As soon as these three words were spoken, it was like thunderclap out of the blue, making the three adults' heads buzz.

Ouyang Xi said anxiously: "Lin Yi! What are you thinking! The golden tree of the demigod-level martial spirit, you choose blue silver grass?!"

Lin Qingxuan gently pulled his wife aside and said, "Okay, Xiaoyi is smart, he must have his reasons. Let's listen to him first."

Moon also pretended to be serious, wanting to know the reason behind his disciple's unexpected choice.

Xiao Lin Yidao: "Although Blue Silver Grass can be regarded as the weakest soul beast, there are exceptions in the Blue Silver Grass clan. The evolved Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor both have commendable qualities and are comparable to top-level soul beasts."

"We all know this. The Sea God ten thousand years ago became a god with the help of the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, but do you know how rare the advanced Blue Silver Grass bloodline is?"

Faced with his mother's inquiries, Xiaolin Yi remained calm.

"Yes, Blue Silver Grass is indeed extremely rare in advanced bloodlines, but I'm not looking for those. Ordinary Blue Silver Grass is enough."

"It's true that individual Blue Silver Grass is weak, but it also has a universal advantage."

"what?"

Xiao Linyi's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said confidently, "It has strong vitality. No matter where it is, as long as the seeds of Blue Silver Grass are sown, it will grow."

"That has nothing to do with your golden tree. Your life attribute is already at its peak. No matter how tenacious the Blue Silver Grass's vitality is, it will have no effect on your golden tree."

"Mom, have you ever thought about why the Blue Silver Grass has such strong vitality?"

"Who knows? Even a spirit master with the Blue Silver Grass spirit wouldn't choose Blue Silver Grass when choosing a spirit ring. Who would study that?"

Ouyang Xi still disagreed, but Lin Qingxuan and Moon En seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes lit up slightly.

"I've observed that the reason Blue Silver Grass can display such tenacious vitality anywhere is due to its well-developed root system. With this well-developed root system, Blue Silver Grass can absorb sufficient nutrients in all kinds of harsh conditions to ensure the growth of the mother plant. This advantage is exactly what I need for my golden tree."

Moon clapped and praised, "Brilliant!"

Xiao Linyi smiled shyly.

Moon continued, "Xiaoyi, your analysis is spot on. I'm just a little curious. You didn't know what your martial spirit would be beforehand, so how did you come up with the idea of ​​observing the Blue Silver Grass?"

Xiao Linyi scratched his head. "It's not that I wanted to observe it. When I was looking at the Soul Beast Atlas, I was interested in many soul beasts, but I couldn't see any of them. Only the Blue Silver Grass was everywhere, so I could observe it. I didn't expect that I would actually use it."

"Hahaha," Moon laughed. "Well, people with good talents don't necessarily have good luck. Xiaoyi, you have such good luck. I am increasingly looking forward to your future."

Although the group was talking all the time, they did not slow down at all. At this time, the Star Dou Great Forest was not far away.

Moon stopped and said, "Let's rest here for a while."

Several people agreed.

Although Ouyang Xi had been convinced by her son, she was still a little worried. "Although Blue Silver Grass is found all over the continent, it's so weak that only a few can become spirit beasts. I wonder if we can find one of the right age this time..." Xiaolin Yi suddenly thought of something when she heard this. "Mom, the book says that the first spirit ring can't be more than four hundred years old. Why is that?"

Ouyang Xi was somewhat happy. Her son had been very smart since he was young, and she could rarely answer the questions he asked. This time, she had finally encountered an easy-to-answer question, and she had to perform well in front of her good boy to establish her status as a mother.

Clearing his throat, Ouyang Xi explained, "Because the soul master's body can't bear it, when the soul master absorbs the soul ring, he will be oppressed by the soul ring's energy and the resentment of the dead soul beast. If these exceed the soul master's physical and mental endurance, the soul master who absorbs the soul ring is at risk of death. In the best case, he will be seriously injured."

Ouyang Xi looked serious as he warned his son that the growth of a soul master is full of thorns. Even the soul rings that help soul masters break through limitations can be dangerous if one is careless.

"So that's it..."

Xiao Linyi didn't show any fear or alarm as Ouyang Xi had expected. Instead, he seemed to be thinking, "In other words, the actual age of a spirit ring is determined by the body and mind. Then this four hundred years is not accurate?"

Lin Qingxuan took over the conversation and continued, "That's not the case. This age range was calculated and summarized by the masters of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago. After ten thousand years of testing, it has been proven to be trustworthy."

Xiao Linyi nodded to show that he understood.

"But it's not suitable for everyone, Dad. What are the limits of my physical and mental endurance?"

"Wouldn't it be terrible if my body couldn't handle the soul beast I chose?"

Lin Qingxuan raised his hand and placed it on Xiao Linyi's body to sense his son's physical strength. He smiled and comforted him, "No, with your talent, you can handle even a 400-year-old soul beast..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan suddenly let out a soft "Exclamation". Ouyang Xi looked at her husband strangely, "Brother Xuan, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoyi's physical strength is a bit strange."

"What a strange method?"

"Too high."

“Isn’t it good to have high physical strength?”

"That's a bit exaggerated. I feel that Xiaoyi's body is now strong enough to absorb a thousand-year-level spirit ring, or even more than one or two thousand years!" Lin Qingxuan shook his head, his face a little solemn, and turned to look at Mu En, "Mr. Mu, please take a look."

Hearing Lin Qingxuan's words, Moon En's face also became serious. Nowadays, there are indeed some large sects that give their chosen disciples various natural treasures and medicinal baths to improve their physical strength since childhood, but so far there has never been a case of absorbing a thousand-year-level soul ring with the first soul ring.

Moon raised his hand and placed it on Xiaolin Yi's wrist, sensing it carefully, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Mu, how is it?"

"It is indeed a thousand-year level. According to Xiao Linyi's current physical strength, he is capable of absorbing a five-thousand-year spirit ring."

Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi gasped at the same time, and Moon En could hardly hide the horror in his eyes.

Lin Qingxuan asked, "But what about the opportunity you got from the ancient golden tree on Sea God Island?"

Moon nodded and said, "That should be it. No wonder it lasted for a month. I guess it's the ancient golden tree slowly increasing Xiaoyi's physical strength."

A group of adults were still sighing, but Xiao Lin Yi felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Mom said earlier that Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts are rare. Now that the soul beasts I can absorb have reached a thousand years of age, won't they be even harder to find..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly quieted down.

Because, it is true, these people are not weak among soul masters, and it is rare to hear that blue silver grass is more than a thousand years old.

Everyone didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so they had to get back on their way.

A moment later, we arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest...
