"Old Ouyang, don't get excited, don't get excited!" Ji Changming waved his hands and said with a smile, "Aren't I just asking? You should always listen to Xiao Yu's thoughts! Besides, you should know the value of his martial spirit. After joining my Spirit Pagoda, he is still a member of Donghai City. But if the parliament knows about it, then it's hard to say whether he will still be a member of Donghai City!"
"Are you threatening me?!" Ouyang Jian's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he looked at Ji Changming with a gloomy face and said.
"No, no, no, I'm just reminding you!" Ji Changming shook his head and said, "You know!"
"..." Ouyang Jian was silent for a moment, and then he finally relented, "Okay, let's choose a soul for Ayu first. As for the future, I can't control it, and neither can you. Where Ayu wants to go is his own business."
Jing Shaoyu listened silently to the conversation between the two old men and felt puzzled. It seemed that the relationship between Donghai City and the Federal Parliament was not very harmonious. Well, come to think of it, it is already a federal system. A big city like Donghai City must have a lot of autonomy. This is a contradiction between the central and local governments.
"Wait a moment!" Ji Changming said with a meaningful smile.
He just pressed a button on the desk and then pressed several different buttons in succession. Then, the three LCD screens in the room lit up again, and three different soul information was displayed on the three screens.
"Pure white wildebeest, five hundred years."
"Sky Moon Moth, six hundred years."
"Green Feather Bird, eight hundred years."
Jing Shaoyu's eyes swept over the information of the three souls one by one, and Ji Changming's voice rang in his ears. He said, "These three souls are the three best quality yellow souls suitable for Ayu. The Pure White Wildebeest and the Sky Moon Moth both have good healing abilities, and the Green Feather Bird is known as the Little Emerald Swan, and its healing ability is the strongest among the three souls. Ayu, take a look. Which one do you want? I would like to recommend to choose this Green Feather Bird."
"Little Emerald Swan?" Ouyang Jian said dissatisfiedly, "Why not just use a real Emerald Swan? Wouldn't that be very suitable for Ayu's martial spirit? Aren't you afraid that my City Lord's Mansion can't afford it?"
"Old Ouyang, do you hear what you are saying?" Upon hearing Ouyang Jian's question, the usually peaceful Ji Changming's defense broke down. He pointed at Ouyang Jian's nose and cursed, "What do you mean by an Emerald Swan? Do you know how rare the Emerald Swans are? There isn't a single Emerald Swan spirit in the entire Spirit Pagoda, right? Aren't you so capable? Go, go find me an Emerald Swan. If you have the ability, go ahead!"
"I didn't know this, did I?" Ouyang Jian was constantly attacked by Ji Changming, but he couldn't refute. After all, he was in the wrong first, so he could only mutter in a low voice, "Why did you break down? Such a bad temper!"
"You..." Ji Changming almost fainted, pointing at Ouyang Jian and not knowing what to say. It took him a long time to calm down, and he looked at Jing Shaoyu and asked, "Ayu, have you decided which one to choose?"
"Hmm..." Jing Shaoyu looked troubled and said, "Grandpa Tower Master, are there any other souls?"
"Ah?" Ji Changming was a little surprised. He asked, "These are the most suitable souls for your martial soul, and their quality is also excellent. If you contract one of them, it will certainly provide you with two good soul skills!"
"But..." Jing Shaoyu looked a little hesitant, but thinking that this was about his future, he gritted his teeth and said, "I feel that these souls are not suitable for me!"
"How can it be unsuitable?" Ji Changming was anxious. He felt that his expertise was challenged, and his voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.
"Old Ji, don't be anxious. Listen to A Yu's explanation first!" Ouyang Jian grabbed Ji Changming and said.
"Grandpa Tower Master, I can't quite explain it in words. It's a kind of intuition." Jing Shaoyu said awkwardly, "It's a kind of intuition given to me by my martial spirit. It doesn't seem to need to deliberately add a healing spirit ring."
"Intuition? Oh, my God!" Ji Changming laughed out of anger and then said, "Does your intuition tell you what type of spirit ring you should add?"
"I feel that a soul ring with life attributes might be better." Jing Shaoyu said.
"Life attribute?" Ji Changming was also stunned when he heard this, then he finally smiled in resignation and said, "That's true, your martial soul is indeed more suitable for souls with life attributes, but unfortunately, our East Sea Spirit Pagoda does not have yellow souls with life attributes, otherwise why wouldn't I take it out?"
"..."
Jing Shaoyu fell silent after hearing this.
"In other words, Ayu is right, right, Old Ji?" Ouyang Jian asked.
"That's right." Ji Changming nodded affirmatively.
"That's easy. I remember there is a Scarlet Jade Bird in our East China Sea Spirit Tower. Isn't that a soul with life attributes?" Ouyang Jian said thoughtfully. Scarlet Jade Bird?" Ji Changming was stunned. He didn't expect Ouyang Jian to know about this spirit. Then he hesitated and said, "Old Ou, think about it carefully. Although this Scarlet Jade Bird is only 700 years old, it is an unyielding spirit! Are you sure you want to choose this spirit for this child?"
"Of course, an unyielding soul that has cultivated for a hundred years is also considered a yellow soul. Naturally, it is within the scope of the benefits of our City Lord's Mansion," Ouyang Jian said with a smile, "and I believe it must be worth it."
"Okay then!" Ji Changming looked at Ouyang Jian deeply and said.
"Scarlet Jade Bird? What kind of soul beast is that?" This time, it was Jing Shaoyu's turn to be confused.
"A rare soul beast with life attributes, said to be a close relative of the Emerald Swan, but this is obviously false. The appearance of the Scarlet Jade Bird is more like a raptor of the hawk family." Ouyang Jian introduced, "Although its level cannot be compared with the Emerald Swan, it is a very rare and special existence among soul beasts. I am afraid that the number of Red Jade Bird souls in the entire Spirit Transferring Tower organization will not exceed ten."
"You're right!" Ji Changming said, "There are only seven red jade bird souls left in the Spirit Pagoda!"
His fingers tapped quickly on the desk a few times, and then the images on the three LCD screens turned into a forest with luxuriant branches and leaves and verdant trees. As the picture went deeper, a large bird with a scarlet main body appeared on a huge tree. The bird was very beautiful, with feathers like rubies on its body. It stood on the top of the tree, gazing down with arrogant eyes, and its body looked very elegant.
"This is the Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird," Ji Changming said, "Ayu, have you thought about it? This Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird is an unyielding spirit. The so-called unyielding spirit refers to those spirits that are proud by nature and are unwilling to submit to human spirit masters. Contracting such a spirit is life-threatening!"
"I've made up my mind!" Jing Shaoyu's eyes were fixed on the scarlet jade bird in the picture, and he said firmly, "I have the confidence that I can make it submit to me!"
"Good boy!" Ji Changming couldn't help but show a hint of approval when he heard Jing Shaoyu's confidence and said, "In that case, let me contract this soul for you!"
The decision has been made, so there is no need to hesitate.
Ji Changming first communicated with the staff of the Spirit Communication Tower through the soul guide communicator and then guided Jing Shaoyu to stand on the circular platform where the physical data was previously measured.
"Child, close your eyes and relax!" Ji Changming reminded, and Jing Shaoyu did as he was told.
Then, Ji Changming began to chant in a low voice, and a golden light appeared under his feet. The golden light formed a unique pattern and spread towards Jing Shaoyu's feet. Soon, the golden light enveloped both of them.
Jing Shaoyu only felt his body warm, and subconsciously opened his eyes, only to find that he was now in a pure white empty space. Not far away came a crisp bird song, and a scarlet figure cut through the space and suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the red jade bird!
The red jade bird's eyes were full of anger, rebellion and unwillingness.
Jing Shaoyu was speechless but silently released his martial soul. The Origin Elf Spirit martial soul possessed him, and the breath of life immediately filled the entire space. Along with the breath of life, there appeared a majesty that seemed to be there and not there.
"Chi!" The red jade bird raised its head and let out a loud cry, then rushed into Jing Shaoyu's body without hesitation.
Jing Shaoyu had fallen into a state of emptiness at this time. The last cry of the Red Jade Spirit Bird kept echoing in his ears. That cry was full of its submission.
