Three days later, the three brothers packed up and left Yellow Sand City.
Lin Beiya planned to first hunt for Ming Xin's spirit ring, then set off for Death Canyon.
The Soul Hunting location chosen was Sunset Forest.
Although it would be a bit of a detour, he could also take the opportunity to resolve Dugu Yan's internal toxins and visit Little Angel in Heaven Dou City.
It was a method that killed two birds with one stone.
Thinking of Dugu Bo and Qian Renxue's expressions when they learned of his death, Lin Beiya felt a little anticipation.
Just like that, the three brothers traveled towards Sunset Town, taking five days to reach their destination.
If Lin Beiya had relied solely on Psychokinesis to fly, it wouldn't have taken so long, but with two burdens, that was clearly not an option.
Upon arriving at Sunset Town, Lin Beiya took the two directly to Dugu Bo and his granddaughter's courtyard.
Knocking on the door, he was met with Dugu Bo's tired face.
"Senior Dugu, long time no see."
The old man had been extremely worried about the toxins in his granddaughter's body during this time, not only trying to find a solution but also searching everywhere for a suitable Spirit Bone to act as a host for the toxins.
When Dugu Bo saw Lin Beiya's familiar face, a golden light suddenly burst forth from his eyes.
"Good kid, I knew you wouldn't kick the bucket so easily. Where did those fake messages come from outside?"
"Rumors really kill people. I haven't closed my eyes for days."
"Get in here, quickly."
He laughed and scolded as he welcomed the three brothers into the courtyard, complaining to Lin Beiya as they walked.
"You don't know, I've been inquiring about Spirit Bone information everywhere during this time, and my hair is almost white with worry."
"Isn't your hair already white? Uh..."
Looking at Dugu Bo, who was glaring at him with a bristling beard, Lin Beiya scratched his head with an awkward smile. He had indeed caused the grandfather and granddaughter a lot of trouble.
"Senior, where's Goose?"
"Yan Yan has skipped a grade to Heaven Dou Royal Academy this year and is currently still there. You wait in the courtyard, I'll go pick Yan Yan up now."
"Senior, wait!"
Lin Beiya called out to Dugu Bo, who was about to rush to Heaven Dou City. The old man instantly looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? Do you have something else?"
"There's no need to rush to call Goose back. I need to hunt for a spirit ring for my friend first, and then I'll head to Heaven Dou City. There's no rush to detoxify Goose then either."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo waved his hand, intending to let the three go Soul Hunting first.
"No problem, then you all go Soul Hunting. I'll go bring Yan Yan back. It just means we don't have to rush so much."
"By the time you all return from Soul Hunting, Yan Yan and I should also be back."
He couldn't afford not to rush. The old man watched as the toxins in his granddaughter's body accumulated daily, feeling like ants were crawling on her. It was best to resolve it as soon as possible.
This would save them several days of travel to Heaven Dou City after they finished Soul Hunting.
After thinking about it, Lin Beiya didn't refuse but instead handed the gemini gold card to Dugu Bo.
"Senior, if Sister Yanzi is willing to come back, then she can. If it's inconvenient, you can just give her the gemini gold cloth yourself. I can recall it directly then."
"Oh? That's much more convenient."
"Do you need my help with your Soul Hunting?"
Seeing how convenient things were, Dugu Bo was no longer as anxious as before. He took the gemini gold cloth and asked if the three needed his help.
The three brothers exchanged glances, then all shook their heads at Dugu Bo.
"No need, Senior. It's just a thousand-year spirit ring; we can handle it."
"Good, then I'll set off for Heaven Dou City. If anything happens, you can find me at the Royal Academy."
"Alright, Senior, take care."
Watching Dugu Bo leave, and as it was already late, the three brothers stayed overnight in the courtyard, only setting off for Sunset Forest the next morning.
"By the way, which Spirit Beasts should Ming Xin's spirit ring be hunted from? I really don't know."
Shi Nuo was accompanying Ming Xin on a Soul Hunting trip for the first time and wasn't very clear about his first two spirit rings.
"My first spirit ring was obtained from hunting a Soul Forgetting Flower, and my second spirit ring was from a Cursed Rose."
"So, your spirit rings all need to be hunted from plant Spirit Beasts, huh?"
Shi Nuo's words made Lin Beiya and Ming Xin roll their eyes simultaneously. How did he come to that conclusion?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Ming Xin's Spirit requires hunting Spirit Beasts with mental attributes. The previous two plant Spirit Beasts only possessed that characteristic."
"Ha... really? I got it wrong."
Shi Nuo scratched his head, looking a bit simple-minded.
The two shook their heads, not intending to waste more words with him, and continued deeper into the forest.
The three simultaneously unleashed their mental force, each covering a direction to search, which greatly improved the efficiency of finding suitable Spirit Beasts.
And this approach quickly yielded results.
"Beiya, there's a Heart Moon Fox about three kilometers ahead. That thing should be mental-attributed, right?"
"Oh? Let's go take a look."
The Heart Moon Fox is a Spirit Beast that can create illusions with its mental force to trap enemies, which is indeed very suitable for Ming Xin's Spirit.
The three immediately headed in the direction Shi Nuo had scouted. A few minutes later, a snow-white fox with bright yellow eyes appeared in their sight.
The little fox was staring at a nest of hungry Sharp-Clawed Civet cat cubs, while their mother was blocking in front of the cubs, constantly hissing at the little fox.
"It is indeed a Heart Moon Fox, but its age isn't quite right."
Judging by the number of arc-shaped markings on its tail, this fox was around 1200 years old, which was far from what the three had in mind.
Ming Xin, who had been continuously training his physique and had a supply of whale gum, had now also absorbed the Netherworld Ghost Orchid.
Even though this Immortal Herb was not known for strengthening the physique, it still improved his physical quality somewhat.
Without the cloth's enhancement, Ming Xin's current physique was already sufficient for him to absorb a spirit ring of around 3000 years. With the cloth's 50% boost, this value would approach 4000 years.
"Let's go, let's keep looking. This one is too young."
"Okay."
The three quietly left, not intending to interfere with the Heart Moon Fox's hunt. This was the Law of nature, and they were not bleeding-heart saints.
Unleashing their spirit power again, the three simultaneously made a discovery a few minutes later.
"Beiya, there's a Demonic Soul Night Hawk sleeping one kilometer to the north."
"Brother Beiya, there's a Red-Scaled Illusion Fish in the river to the south."
The Demonic Soul Night Hawk is a Spirit Beast that directly attacks the prey's brain by emitting stimulating mental force through sound waves, while the Red-Scaled Illusion Fish's method is similar to the Heart Moon Fox, both creating illusions to interfere with enemies.
From the Demonic Soul Night Hawk, there was a high probability of obtaining an offensive Spirit Ability, while from the Illusion Fish, there was a high probability of obtaining a control-type Spirit Ability.
But Lin Beiya didn't respond to them immediately. Instead, after closing his eyes and carefully investigating, he pointed to the east.
"Twelve kilometers to the east, there's a Soul-Dividing Flower of about 3500 years. Ming Xin, you decide which one to hunt."
Hearing this, Ming Xin fell into thought, and after a while, found himself unable to choose.
"It's alright, let's go see the Demonic Soul Night Hawk and the Red-Scaled Illusion Fish first. Their ages might not even be suitable yet, right?"
The three first went to the location of the Demonic Soul Night Hawk, finding it to be a sub-adult Demonic Soul Night Hawk with less than a thousand years of cultivation. So, they immediately turned and headed to the southern river.
The Red-Scaled Illusion Fish had a cultivation of around 2000 years, still not enough to meet Ming Xin's needs.
"Brother Beiya, then let's choose that Soul-Dividing Flower."
