Plant-type spirit beasts should be considered first; as for other types of spirit beasts, it depends on luck.
There is a type of Emerald Swan Soul Beast that is very suitable to be the first Soul Ring, but this kind of Soul Beast is extremely rare and not easy to find.
Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest also has a ferocious beast-level Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, and they dare not provoke her lightly.
"It's good that you have your own plans. Hopefully, you can find a suitable soul beast as soon as possible. We'll try to acquire all three of your soul rings within three days."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with Beichen's idea.
And so, Bei Chen followed Sword Douluo slowly toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Soul beasts carrying life attributes are extremely rare, so it takes considerable effort to find them.
...
Time flies, and the morning is over!
"Huh? The Sacred Lotus of Life?"
Suddenly, Sword Douluo sensed the fluctuations of a soul beast around him, and his eyes sharpened as he turned to look.
Not far away, a pale green lotus flower was discovered floating on the surface of a clear pool. It exuded a faint life force, making it seem extremely mysterious.
"Xiao Chen, the Life Lotus has very powerful healing abilities, making it very suitable to be your first soul ring. Judging from its age, it seems to be over four hundred years old."
Sword Douluo observed the Life Lotus not far away and said to Bei Chen with great joy.
Upon hearing this, Bei Chen frowned, clearly not satisfied with the spirit ring, after all, his spirit was a god-level spirit and he possessed innate level 30 spirit power.
The first spirit ring, having absorbed over four hundred years' worth of energy, is far too weak.
I always feel like it's not sophisticated enough!
At the same time, Beichen discovered that his body, after being modified by the power of life, was fully capable of withstanding a thousand-year-old soul ring.
A moment later, just as Bei Chen was about to refuse, the system's sweet voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, on awakening the Eye of Insight: You can see through the specific information of all things in the world.]
"Such a good thing!"
Upon hearing the system's voice, Bei Chen's face lit up with an excited smile. He hadn't expected to awaken the Eye of Exploration so unexpectedly.
With the idea of trying out this function, Beichen's gaze drifted toward the Life Lotus not far away.
[Life Lotus: Over 400 years old (actual age over 3,500 years): Possesses top-tier healing power, making it an excellent soul ring for life-attribute martial souls.]
Bei Chen was utterly astonished when he saw the specific information about the Holy Lotus of Life!
It's over three thousand years old! It seems this Life Lotus has a very strong ability to hide its existence, even managing to deceive Sword Douluo.
However, Bei Chen had no intention of revealing the true age of this Life Lotus.
If Sword Douluo were told, he would definitely not agree to let me absorb this spirit ring, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
At worst, I'll just have to force things to the point where Sword Douluo won't be able to stop me.
He was absolutely confident that he could absorb this soul ring that was over three thousand years old.
With his current physique, he can definitely withstand the pressure of this thousand-year-old soul ring.
In addition, with the divine-level martial soul, the Ancient Tree of Life, possessing incredible healing power, it can completely repair the damage caused by absorbing the soul rings.
On the other hand, it has a system in place, so even if it encounters an irreversible adversity, it may be able to easily turn the tide.
"Okay, let's absorb this Life Lotus."
Then, Bei Chen spoke obediently to Sword Douluo.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Chen stepped forward and drew a dagger from his waist.
Although the Life Lotus is a thousand-year-old soul beast, it has no offensive power, but possesses extremely rich life force.
Therefore, the Life Lotus is always surrounded by a group of soul beasts that protect it and help it resist external enemies.
For some reason, it seems that all the other soul beasts guarding the Life Lotus have left, which conveniently makes it easier for Bei Chen to act.
With Sword Douluo guarding him from the side, he could completely relax and prepare to absorb this soul ring that was over three thousand years old.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Bei Chen looked at the Life Lotus on the water's surface, which was bursting with astonishing life force. As if anticipating the impending danger, it enveloped his entire body and attracted the soul beasts in the distance to help him.
Unfortunately, even though Sword Douluo was here, he did not intentionally release his soul power.
The aura unique to a Title Douluo is so powerful that even the weaker soul beasts around him dare not approach easily.
Bei Chen used his soul power to draw the Life Lotus over.
The next moment, Bei Chen's eyes sharpened, and he plunged the sharp blade in his hand into the very center of the Life Lotus.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a powerful life force surged forth, repairing its own injuries. Under Bei Chen's attacks, the Life Saint Lotus gradually began to show signs of defeat.
Despite Beichen's efforts, the vibrant green petals of the Life Lotus turned withered and yellow, devoid of any vitality.
"Phew! Finally solved!"
Upon seeing the Life Lotus die, Bei Chen nodded in satisfaction.
This sacred lotus of life, which is over three thousand years old, has an incredibly powerful life force!
Without expending any effort, it would be impossible to kill this Life Lotus in a short time.
"Splash!"
After death, the life-giving lotus gradually emanates from around its petals, revealing wisps of life force.
Points of soul power gathered in the air and quickly condensed into a purple soul ring. The soul power fluctuations contained within it surprised Bei Chen greatly.
As expected of a three-thousand-year-old spirit ring, it truly lives up to its reputation.
Seeing this, in order to prevent Sword Douluo from discovering that he had taken it upon himself to absorb the thousand-year soul ring, he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes tightly.
"Splash!"
The ancient tree of life martial spirit in his right hand appeared silently, releasing a powerful life force that resonated with the thousand-year-old soul ring in the air.
Next, under Bei Chen's special guidance, the thousand-year-old purple soul ring was firmly attached to the Tree of Life.
The terrifying soul power was completely injected into Bei Chen's body.
"Um?"
"not good!"
Sword Douluo had his back to Beichen and was completely unaware of Beichen's movements. Instead, his eyes were alert to the approaching soul beasts.
Suddenly, he sensed the aura of a thousand-year-old soul ring and looked back.
They were shocked to see Bei Chen absorb a three-thousand-year-old soul ring on his own initiative.
At the same time, he blamed himself for not carefully investigating the true age of the Life Lotus.
But it seemed too late for him to stop it immediately.
During the process of a Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring, it cannot be forcibly interrupted; otherwise, at best, all Soul Power will be scattered, and at worst, Soul Power will be unable to be increased again.
He dared not interrupt Beichen so rashly, so he could only wholeheartedly protect Beichen and hope that he could safely overcome this calamity.
"What a powerful spirit ring!"
After clearly feeling the overwhelming soul power within his body, Bei Chen was filled with turmoil. He then focused his mind and silently recited to the system.
