"Your Holiness, time is precious; let us begin."
Xin took a deep breath and said. This soul-drawing and bone-carving "operation" was a challenge for Bibi Dong to fully let go of herself, but for Xin, it was a huge drain on both spirit power and mental focus.
"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded.
At this moment, in the sky of Bibi Dong's spiritual sea, the pattern of one of the spider-like star lines shone, revealing nine spirit rings that exceeded the standard configuration. The ninth spirit ring, in particular, was a deep red hundred-thousand-year ring.
[Jadeite Nether · Soul-Drawing Method!]
Xin stood amidst the gloom, his hands quickly forming seals, the imprint resembling a blooming purgatory flower.
The soul-drawing seal formed a passage, connecting to the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and pulling out its origin and residual soul.
Within it was a figure that sometimes appeared as a gentle woman, and at other times resembled Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit spirit—a white rabbit form. The soul was indistinct, as if it could disperse at any moment; this was Xiao Wu's mother's remaining soul fragment.
"Hiss~"
As the color of the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring faded and its power regressed, the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's mother slowly detached under the guidance of the seal and left Bibi Dong's spiritual sea. Bibi Dong's brows furrowed, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.
The separation of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring from the body was no less painful than a severe spiritual injury.
But very quickly, Bibi Dong felt a gentle force nourishing her, repairing the damage to her soul.
It was Xin.
Xin was multitasking, using a divided strand of his soul to maintain the soul-drawing technique. Although his main consciousness had entered Bibi Dong's spiritual sea, he was still controlling his physical body. His left hand held the Ice Dragon Carving Knife, engraving an external soul-drawing seal. The Ice Dragon, being Yin, guided and stabilized the remnant soul.
Meanwhile, a Fire Dragon appeared in his right hand, refining a Sacred Soul Grass and transmitting its energy directly into Bibi Dong's spiritual sea to restore her depleted spiritual origin.
"Next, it will be more painful and more difficult. I need to probe the shape of your torso bone."
Bibi Dong was already somewhat weakened and asked, "What do I need to do? Is it like feeling the bone, or...?"
When she asked this, Bibi Dong felt both slightly embarrassed and faintly nervous.
To feel out the torso bone, wouldn't that mean Teacher Xin would touch her entire body?
