However, just as Huyan Li was about to share a pill with Ling Xiao and consume his own, Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke up, "Never mind. Although medicinal pills are excellent, consuming them always requires a certain amount of time to refine and absorb."
"Let's save that pill. This matter can simply be handled by our Spirit Hall."
Having said that, Chrysanthemum Douluo turned around and gestured to a Soul Saint standing beside him.
This Soul Saint wore a set of white robes and possessed a handsome countenance. Although his cultivation was profound and his body contained boundless soul power, his entire aura was remarkably gentle, giving people a feeling like a warm spring breeze.
He was completely different from ordinary high-level Soul Masters.
Understanding Chrysanthemum Douluo's intention, he quickly bowed in acknowledgment and took a few steps forward. Simultaneously, a powerful surge of soul power fluctuations rapidly rose from his body.
The white glow of his soul power was clearly visible, and his cultivation realm was laid bare. At this moment, having channeled his soul power, he finally emanated a distinct energetic pressure. However, while this pressure was noticeable, it was not overbearing in the slightest.
Evidently, it could be clearly discerned from his soul power aura that he was not a Battle Soul Master, but rather an auxiliary-system or food-system Soul Master. As he extended his right hand, a flash of brilliant light erupted.
A massive white ring rapidly flew out, splitting into two as it settled over the heads of Ling Xiao and Huyan Li. As he stimulated his Martial Soul, a black soul ring released from his body and spun rapidly.
The two massive rings immediately unleashed a gentle, milky-white radiance. The moment this light shone upon Huyan Li, he felt the soul power within his body rapidly replenish, and his physical stamina did the same.
At the same time, relying on the connection between himself and his Martial Soul, he sensed that the injuries sustained by his Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul were also being continuously mended, though the recovery speed was not quite as fast as that of his soul power and stamina.
With a thought from Huyan Li, a brownish-yellow glow of soul power rapidly surfaced.
The roar of an elephant echoed from within his body as the massive Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul manifested behind him. He triggered the Martial Soul Possession once more, transforming his entire body into his battle form with an elephant's head and a human body.
It seemed that because his Martial Soul body had fully manifested, even though the Martial Soul Possession caused Huyan Li to once again experience a wave of pain transmitted from his spirit due to the unhealed injuries, he could also distinctly feel that the pain was continuously fading.
The recovery speed of his Martial Soul's injuries had also quickened slightly compared to before.
Witnessing this scene on the field, Huyan Zhen and the various elders of the Elephant Armored Sect could not help but sigh with inner admiration.
What a powerful healing force!
He truly lived up to being a healing-system Soul Master of the seven-ring Soul Saint realm. The Martial Soul injuries that would have required a Tier 5 Spirit-Restoring Purple Pill to rapidly mend in a short time could be easily restored by him.
No wonder it was often said in the Soul Master world that while medicinal pills were hard to come by, an auxiliary-system Soul Master of the same rank was even rarer. After all, once a pill was eaten, it was gone.
An auxiliary-system Soul Master, however, could repeatedly take action. A healing-system Soul Master of the seven-ring Soul Saint realm was practically equivalent to a permanent seventh-grade healing pill.
Furthermore, the effects were even more immediate compared to pills, and it did not require the Soul Master to spend extra effort refining the medicinal properties themselves.
This was even more so when compared to alchemists. After all, when an alchemist refined medicinal pills, leaving the success rate aside for the moment, they still needed to search for additional medicinal ingredients.
Precious spirit herbs, moreover, were often guarded by soul beasts of profound cultivation. To soul beasts, whose cultivation was a slow and arduous process, the specific efficacy of various spirit herbs was often of little significance.
However, the boundless energy contained within was exactly what they craved. It could reduce their hard cultivation by centuries or millennia. It was not even impossible for their cultivation to surge by ten thousand years in a single day after consuming a powerful spirit herb.
Attempting to pluck spirit herbs from the hands of these powerful soul beasts was never an easy task—it was barely any easier than hunting for soul rings. Over the past ten thousand years, countless Soul Masters had lost their lives to soul beasts while searching for spirit herbs.
An auxiliary-system Soul Master, on the other hand, only needed to practice step-by-step according to their routine. Even if they consumed too much energy by going all out, they merely needed to meditate for a while to restore their own soul power.
It was nowhere near as dangerous or laborious as searching for medicinal ingredients.
Therefore, if Soul Masters were considered the noblest profession on the Douluo Continent, then auxiliary-system Soul Masters were an even rarer and more cherished existence than ordinary Battle Soul Masters.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it the most venerable profession of all.
As for the capabilities of auxiliary-system Soul Masters, countless people envied them.
Although in terms of combat power, an auxiliary-system Soul Master possessed virtually zero battle capacity compared to a Battle Soul Master of the same rank—and even the strength of an alchemist of the same rank surpassed theirs—
This also meant they basically never needed to face danger themselves.
They were always protected by other powerful Battle Soul Masters. Some people might think that because auxiliary-system Soul Masters had weak combat power, they would only be captured by other Soul Masters to be used as slaves.
That was completely wrong.
First of all, not all auxiliary-system Soul Masters were completely solitary. Because of their rarity, whenever an auxiliary-system Soul Master wished to join any faction, they would basically never face rejection, naturally gaining the protection of powerful experts.
Furthermore, high-level auxiliary-system Soul Masters were coveted by every single faction.
To draw them under their banners, many factions would offer all kinds of enticing conditions. There was no lack of incidents where factions fought fiercely, causing rivers of blood to flow, just to vie for a high-level auxiliary-system Soul Master.
More importantly, just as alchemists could use pills as a medium of exchange to have other powerhouses act on their behalf, auxiliary-system Soul Masters—despite not being adept at combat—could rely on their various capabilities and intrinsic value to similarly command other powerhouses to take lives for them.
These so-called powerhouses did not just refer to the experts within the sects they joined, but also independent powerhouses in the outside world. In their eyes, the favor owed by an auxiliary-system Soul Master, especially one of a high-level realm, was exceptionally precious.
If they were ever heavily injured and teetering on the brink of death, or if they needed to accomplish a perilous task, the assistance of an auxiliary-system Soul Master could restore them to pristine condition, or greatly boost their strength, giving them greater confidence to survive the danger.
Consequently, everyone on the Douluo Continent knew that it was best to avoid provoking auxiliary-system Soul Masters, particularly those of higher ranks. These individuals were just like hornet's nests; poking them would invite endless trouble.
While the others were unaware of the thoughts crossing the minds of Huyan Zhen and his peers, out on the square, Ling Xiao's soul power and physical stamina had already fully recovered.
Likewise, it did not take long before the trauma on Huyan Li's Martial Soul was completely mended as well. Sensing that his Martial Soul was restored to its original state, Huyan Li could not help but show a look of joy on his face, while also feeling quite astonished in his heart.
He had not expected the healing force of this healing-system Soul Master to be so potent.
Given the injuries his Martial Soul had sustained previously, if he had relied solely on himself to slowly mend them with soul power, it would likely have taken at least over half a month just to recover the majority of it so that it no longer affected his combat.
To achieve full recovery, it would probably take close to a month at the earliest.
Yet now, in less than the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, he had been completely cured. This was truly formidable. Auxiliary-system Soul Masters truly lived up to being an existence even more precious and rare than Battle Soul Masters.
