Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 308 Star Luo Spirit Pearl and Star Crown

Although he had some guesses, Ji Lin was unable to investigate the system's affairs at the moment and could only put them aside for the time being.

The following morning, a light mist gently enveloped the Sunset Forest, making the trees appear and disappear in the mist.

Ji Lin and Chi Yuan were fully prepared to set off.

After breakfast, they flew towards Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy is located on the southeastern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, while they are currently in the north-central part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, making the journey long. However, given the Red Kite's flying speed, they can arrive in one or two hours.

Shrek City.

No matter the time, Shrek City always appears prosperous. The city is densely populated, and the shops lining both sides of the streets are all doing exceptionally well.

As one of the most important trading centers on the continent, Shrek City's thriving commerce has always been Shrek Academy's most important source of income.

Within Shrek City, every inch of land is incredibly valuable.

Ji Lin and Chi Yuan spent some time completing the surveillance mission that Ji Lin had taken on within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire before returning to Shrek City and immediately going back to the Zizai Gate branch.

Ji Lin had something to give to Xu Jiujiu.

Seeing Ji Lin enter the hall, Xu Jiujiu exclaimed with delight, "Little Lin, you're back! Did you succeed?"

Ji Lin smiled and walked over to sit on the sofa next to Xu Jiujiu. He put his arm around her waist without any hesitation and chuckled, "Of course I succeeded. I've obtained my sixth spirit ring, and there were even some unexpected gains."

Sitting opposite the two, Nan Qiuqiu rolled her eyes. They came back and immediately started showing off their love in front of her. Didn't she, Miss Nan Qiuqiu, have any dignity? Did they really think she didn't exist?

Nan Qiuqiu pulled Ye Guyi's hand and said, "Sister Guyi, look at those two, they're going too far. They're being affectionate right in front of us, they don't respect us at all."

Ji Lin's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "Alright, Qiuqiu, I brought you gifts this time."

Nan Qiuqiu's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Really, don't just give me any random gift. I don't care about ordinary things."

Despite saying that, Nan Qiuqiu decided that no matter what gift Ji Lin brought out later, she would reluctantly accept it.

Ji Lin smiled and took out four jade boxes from his storage soul tool, pushing them onto the table in front of him. He opened the first jade box, inside which lay a golden fruit. As soon as the jade box was opened, a heavy and ancient charm filled the air, and the strange fragrance made everyone present swallow hard.

A pale yellow earth-elemental aura swirled and flowed, with faint dragon roars echoing in the air.

Ji Lin pushed the jade box in front of Nan Qiuqiu and said softly, "This item is called Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It is a divine herb of earth-attribute dragon type. It contains a trace of dragon energy. Although the attribute is not suitable, it should be able to further enhance your Rouge Dragon bloodline and improve your cultivation."

Nan Qiuqiu picked up the golden fruit with delight, examining it curiously. The throbbing in her blood told her that Ji Lin was right; this Earth Dragon Golden Melon would be of great benefit to her.

Nan Qiuqiu reluctantly put the earth dragon golden gourd back into the jade box and whispered, "This isn't right. It's too precious. I haven't even done anything for you yet. If I accept such an expensive gift, my mother will criticize me again."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "I'll need your help a lot in the future, so there's no rush. Consider this my investment in you. Your Crimson Dragon Martial Soul is very strong and will definitely help me in the future. Please accept it."

Nan Qiuqiu glanced at Ye Guyi, who nodded to her. She then looked at Ji Lin one last time, and seeing him smiling at her, she blushed. Only then did she accept the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, muttering, "It's a promise. If you ever need anything, you must come to me for help. I don't want to owe you too many favors."

Ji Lin shook his head and opened the second jade box. Inside lay a white, exquisite flower, which looked as pure and immaculate as a blue lotus.

Ji Lin pushed the jade box to Ye Guyi and said, "This is Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, which has the effects of nourishing tendons and bones, and opening up the eight extraordinary meridians. It can make your physique stronger. Remember to only eat the petals and suck the stamen at the end. You need to use your soul power to activate the absorption."

Ye Guyi didn't stand on ceremony with Ji Lin and directly accepted the Narcissus Jade Bone. She knew how precious this immortal herb was, so she had decided to follow Ji Lin from now on and dedicate the rest of her life to the Zizai Sect.

Seeing Ye Guyi readily accept the immortal herbs, Ji Lin smiled with satisfaction. Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu both had excellent talents and were destined to become Title Douluo or even Super Douluo in the future. Ye Guyi might even break through to Limit Douluo. With the immortal herbs he provided, their potential would surely increase greatly, which would also benefit the Zizai Sect. Ji Lin didn't need these immortal herbs, so he might as well use them to invest in the people around him.

Finally, Ji Lin handed the third jade box to Xu Jiujiu. Xu Jiujiu was even less polite to Ji Lin and opened the jade box directly. Inside was a golden fruit as big as a palm. This golden fruit was as bright as a huge pearl, but if you looked closely, you would find that the gold was actually made up of thousands of golden light spots, which was very peculiar.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Sister Jiu Jiu, this fruit is called the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. It is the kind of fruit that is easiest to get close to humans. In the future, it can become your soul core. Try to fuse with it."

After a long while, he smiled and said, "So it's also called Xingluo! That really is fate between us."

After speaking for a long time, he reached out his right hand and gently touched the golden fruit. Instantly, the golden fruit trembled slightly, and then hundreds of starlight burst out from the surface of the fruit.

These starlight instantly enveloped Xu Jiujiu.

Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed as they looked at Ji Lin. Ji Lin smiled and shook his head, indicating that the two of them did not need to worry. This situation was recorded in the medicine manual left behind by that person.

Under the starlight, the Star Crown Martial Soul automatically appeared on Xu Jiujiu's forehead. In an instant, the blank sun and stars appeared above Shrek City, as if daytime had suddenly turned into night. Countless stars hung in the night sky, and beams of brilliant starlight descended from the sky, landing on the Star Luo Spirit Pearl and Xu Jiujiu respectively.

Fortunately, it was daytime, so the starlight was not conspicuous and appeared almost transparent. If it were night, it would be very clear, and only a few people noticed the change in the sky.

Gu Yuena glanced thoughtfully at the sky, then looked towards the living room. She remembered that Ji Lin had just entered the living room, so she figured it was him who had caused the commotion, and immediately ignored him.

He closed his eyes for a long time, as if sensing something, while the Star Luo Spirit Pearl trembled slightly, emitting rings of golden light.

In just a short while, Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu realized that the Star Luo Spirit Pearl seemed to be competing with Xu Jiujiu for the starlight falling from the sky.

At first, the Starry Sky Orb absorbed significantly more starlight, but soon, when her fifth spirit ring lit up, all the starlight falling from the sky was completely absorbed by her fifth spirit skill. Then, it was released from her Star Crown, illuminating the Starry Sky Orb.

This is Xu Jiujiu's fifth soul skill, "Starlight Dazzling," a wide-range soul skill that can immobilize opponents for a short period of time.

The trembling Star Luo Spirit Pearl instantly solidified, and the golden halo it was releasing also instantly receded, unable to continue releasing.

After a long while, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She snatched up all the starlight falling from the sky and transformed it into a soul skill, which landed on the Starry Spirit Pearl.

Every time the Star Luo Spirit Pearl was about to shake its head and wag its tail, it would immediately freeze in place. The way it moved was not only very strange, but also somewhat comical.

Ji Lin smiled. He knew that Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown Martial Soul and Star Luo Spirit Pearl were a perfect match.

Every night, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl absorbs the essence of the stars and moon to enhance itself. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl has a very strong ability to control starlight, but it is completely suppressed by Xu Jiujiu. This can only prove that Xu Jiujiu has a closer relationship with starlight.

Sure enough, a flash of golden light appeared, and seemingly unable to endure the prolonged "torture," the Star Luo Spirit Pearl stopped resisting and simply gave up.

After a long while, he excitedly held the Starry Spirit Pearl in his arms, feeling the pure star power within it, and couldn't help but smile.

This Star Luo Spirit Pearl is a perfect match for her. Her Star Crown Martial Soul needs to absorb starlight power for cultivation and combat. With this Star Luo Spirit Pearl, she no longer needs to painstakingly condense and store starlight. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl will help her draw starlight. Moreover, it is a gift from Ji Lin, which is obviously carefully selected.

Suddenly, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl in Xu Jiujiu's hand flashed with golden light, quickly shrank, and then transformed into a golden ray of light that went directly into her mouth and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jiujiu's entire body shone with starlight, the most dazzling starlight being on her chest. In the dim light, all the starlight gathered towards her chest, causing golden light to appear and disappear on Xu Jiujiu's body, its radiance flickering and shimmering.

Ji Lin was right next to Xu Jiujiu, but he was pushed away by the starlight emanating from her. When he tried to get closer, the starlight on Xu Jiujiu immediately generated a powerful counterforce, repelling him.

Goodness, such a strong effect after just one bite? But undoubtedly, this is a great thing for Xu Jiujiu.

While it's important for these spiritual creatures to increase their cultivation, what's even more important is purifying their bloodlines and enhancing their potential.

Without a doubt, Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown Martial Soul will receive tremendous benefits. If this Star Luo Spirit Pearl is at the 100,000-year level, Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown Martial Soul might evolve directly. After all, the Star Crown is already a top-tier auxiliary weapon Martial Soul, so how strong would it be if it evolved again?

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu had begun meditating and fusing with the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Ji Lin handed the fourth jade box to Ye Guyi and said, "Guyi, this contains a Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma. When Nana returns, please give it to her."

When Ji Lin returned, Nana had already accompanied Xiao Bai to the food street.
