After Jing Shaoyu became Leng Yaozhu's apprentice, there didn't seem to be any special changes.
Because there was no big fanfare when he became an apprentice, apart from the two parties involved, the only people who knew about the news were Ji Changming, the master of the Donghai Spirit Pagoda, and Ouyang Jian, the City Lord, two elderly people who took good care of Jing Shaoyu.
Ouyang Jian was not angry about Jing Shaoyu becoming Leng Yaozhu's apprentice. On the contrary, he was very happy. This was a great thing for Donghai City.
After all, no matter what, Jing Shaoyu's adoptive mother, Jing Ziyuan, is an internal staff member of the Donghai City Administrative Office. This alone is enough.
Jing Shaoyu spent three days of leisure at home, and then was pulled out of the house by Leng Yaoju.
"Teacher, is this your car?" Jing Shaoyu said in surprise, looking at the fiery red convertible sports car parked on the side of the road.
"Stop talking nonsense and get in the car!" Leng Yaozhu said.
"Okay!" Jing Shaoyu immediately sat in the passenger seat. Before he could sit down, Leng Yaozhu had already started the car.
The car rushed onto the road like an arrow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Teacher, where are we going?" Jing Shaoyu asked in confusion when he found that they were leaving Donghai City.
"Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters." Leng Yaoju said coolly, holding the steering wheel with one hand and resting the other on the car window.
"Ah?" Jing Shaoyu was stunned, then said, "Teacher, didn't we agree that I won't be allowed to join the Spirit Pagoda for the time being? Why are you taking me to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters?"
Not joining the Spirit Pagoda for the time being is the agreement between Leng Yaozhu and Jing Shaoyu.
Jing Shaoyu himself has no intention of joining the organization at the moment, and Leng Yaozhu doesn't really want Jing Shaoyu to enter the Spirit Tower right now, as this would be detrimental to her plan, and she still wants to show off in front of certain people.
"Going to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters doesn't mean you have to join the Spirit Pagoda, right?" Leng Yaozhu said speechlessly, "Don't worry, Teacher, I know what's going on."
"Oh!" Jing Shaoyu said, and said no more.
Donghai City is the location of one of the Eighteen Pillars of the Spirit Pagoda. There is a direct highway between it and Shrek City, where the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters is located.
The highway passes through Xingluo City, the former capital of the Xingluo Empire. However, Leng Yaozhu has no interest in this historic city. Even when Jing Shaoyu expressed his intention to go and see it, she chose to ignore it.
The next evening, they arrived at Shrek City.
However, Leng Yaoju's car did not drive into Shrek City but went around the outer city and directly entered the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
The Spirit Pagoda headquarters is located in the north of Shrek City, behind the famous Star Forest. The Spirit Pagoda headquarters is the tallest building on the continent. The shape of the Eight-sided Pagoda looks very majestic, towering into the clouds, and you can't see the top at all when standing on the ground.
Leng Yaozhu parked the car in the parking lot below the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters, then looked at Jing Shaoyu with confusion and grabbed his arm.
Jing Shaoyu only felt a strong force coming, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably, but he did not really fall down, but instead bumped into a soft body, and a faint fragrance entered his sense of smell.
"We're here." Leng Yaoju's voice came from behind.
Jing Shaoyu was stunned, and then immediately controlled his body to stand forward, his eyes subconsciously sweeping around, and then, he found himself standing in a room full of various high-tech instruments.
"Teacher, where is this?" he asked puzzledly.
"My studio." Leng Yaozhu said, and then walked to an instrument, "Come here, let me run some tests on you."
"Okay." Jing Shaoyu walked over obediently and lay down on the metal platform of the instrument according to Leng Yaoju's instructions.
Jing Shaoyu noticed that a long metal strip flashing blue-purple light slowly rose from under his feet and then slowly moved upwards. The blue-purple light scanned his body from head to toe.
The bluish-purple light finally stopped on Jing Shaoyu's forehead, making him feel groggy.
"Okay, get up." Leng Yaozhu's voice came, and Jing Shaoyu sat up immediately. He couldn't bear it anymore. If he lay down again, he would fall asleep.
Leng Yaozhu looked at Jing Shaoyu's data on the screen in front of her, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement.
"Ah Xuan, you are a little monster!" Leng Yaozhu exclaimed, "When I was your age, I didn't have data like yours."
Upon hearing this, Jing Shaoyu walked over to Leng Yaozhu. His eyes fell on the display screen, taking in his data.
"Bone age: ten years, one month and seven days.
Soul power: Level 29 (36.75%).
Physical strength: 8,366.
Soul Level: Purple (3,334 years).
Mental strength: Spiritual connection (472 points)."
"Okay!" Leng Yaozhu clapped her jade hands and said, "Now, follow me. Since you haven't broken through to Soul Master yet, it's relatively easy to improve your soul. First, improve your soul to the limit of your body's endurance."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Jing Shaoyu, of course, agreed very much with Leng Yaozhu's decision.
"Ah Xuan, come here." Leng Yaozhu walked to the other side of the room, then waved to Jing Shaoyu and shouted, "Lie down in this landing capsule first."
Jing Shaoyu came over and saw that there were two metal chairs similar to reclining chairs placed against the wall. According to Leng Yaozhu, these two metal chairs were landing capsules. What kind of landing capsules? Could it be the landing capsule of the advanced spiritual platform?
He was lying on one of the landing capsules. Leng Yaozhu pressed a button under the armrest on the left side of the landing capsule. Then, a glass cover slowly fell from the seat back, covering Jing Shaoyu.
The glass cover seemed to have a soundproofing effect. As it slowly closed, Jing Shaoyu could no longer hear Leng Yaozhu's voice and could only judge what she said by her mouth shape.
"After you go in, stay where you are."
Jing Shaoyu gradually lost consciousness with a confused mood. When he woke up, he found himself in an ancient and deep forest.
This forest felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen it in his dreams before. The trees in the forest were very sturdy, and each one was full of vitality, with lush branches and leaves.
There is an eerie sense of reality here.
"This is..." Jing Shaoyu murmured.
"This is the high-level spirit-raising platform." Leng Yaozhu's voice came from behind him. Jing Shaoyu immediately turned around and was surprised to find that Leng Yaozhu had changed her clothes.
Originally, she was wearing a slim red knee-length skirt, which looked very elegant, but now, she was wearing a white sportswear, with her red hair tied into a high ponytail, looking full of energy, like a lively young girl.
"Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform?!" Jing Shaoyu quickly broke free from Leng Yaoju's peerless beauty and shouted in surprise.
"That's right." Leng Yaozhu nodded, walked to Jing Shaoyu, took Jing Shaoyu's hand, and walked forward. "The advanced soul-raising platform is one of the core devices of our soul transmission tower.
It is also the original soul-raising platform. It has the highest level of confidentiality and is never open to the public unless there are special circumstances.
To enter the advanced spirit-raising platform, one either needs the approval of three tower masters at the same time, or needs to be personally led by a tower master.
The environment inside the Advanced Spiritual Ascension Platform is a one-to-one replica of the deep area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Most importantly, the soul beasts here not only have cultivation bases of more than 50,000 years, but each one has a real prototype!"
"It's actually like this!" Jing Shaoyu's face showed surprise. Everyone knew that the Spirit Ascension Platform was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"We only need to find two soul beasts with 50,000 years of cultivation, which will be enough to raise your soul cultivation to the limit, Ah Xuan." Leng Yaozhu said, "So Ah Xuan, you have to be prepared, my teacher is very fast!"
"Yeah!" Jing Shaoyu nodded.
The master and disciple walked for about five or six kilometers before they encountered the first soul beast.
The advanced soul-raising platform is just like the deep area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Every soul beast has its territory, and generally speaking, they will not run around.
The first soul beast they encountered was a 50,000-year-old Holy Tiger of Light. When the Holy Tiger saw someone breaking into its territory, it immediately stood up and let out an earth-shaking tiger roar towards the master and disciple.
"Haha, it seems I remembered correctly, little cat, it's you!" Leng Yaozhu looked at the Holy Tiger of Light roaring at them, and a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes. She let out a joyful laugh, said softly, and then jumped.
Under Jing Shaoyu's shocked gaze, Leng Yaozhu appeared above the head of the Holy Tiger of Light. Her jade hand was placed on the Holy Tiger's head. Then, the golden flame instantly blossomed into an incomparably gorgeous rose. The Holy Tiger of Light, which had been cultivating for 50,000 years, slowly fell in this dazzling flaming rose.
"Ah Xuan, come here." Leng Yaozhu landed lightly, waved towards Jing Shaoyu, and shouted, "Absorb the spiritual power of this big white cat, and your soul should be able to be upgraded to a five-star purple soul."
Jing Shaoyu was amazed at Leng Yaozhu's strength and walked towards her quickly, asking, "Five-star purple soul? What does this mean?"
