After Jing Shaoyu became Leng Yaozhu's disciple, things didn't seem to change much.
Because the apprenticeship wasn't a grand affair, besides the two involved, the only ones who knew about it were Ji Changming, the East Sea Spirit Pagoda Master, and Ouyang Jian, the East Sea City Lord, two old-timers who took good care of Jing Shaoyu.
Ouyang Jian wasn't annoyed that Jing Shaoyu had become Leng Yaozhu's disciple. On the contrary, he was very happy, as it was a great thing for their East Sea City.
After all, no matter what, Jing Shaoyu's adoptive mother, Jing Ziyuan, was an internal member of the East Sea City Administrative Headquarters. That alone was enough.
Jing Shaoyu spent three leisurely days at home before Leng Yaozhu dragged him out.
"Teacher, is this your car?" Jing Shaoyu asked, surprised, looking at the fiery red convertible parked by the roadside.
"Enough nonsense, get in the car!" Leng Yaozhu said.
"Okay!" Jing Shaoyu immediately sat in the passenger seat. Before he could settle in, Leng Yaozhu had already started the car.
The car shot onto the road like an arrow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Teacher, where are we going?" Jing Shaoyu asked, noticing they were leaving East Sea City.
"To the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters," Leng Yaozhu said coolly, one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on the car window.
"Ah?" Jing Shaoyu was taken aback, then said, "Teacher, didn't we agree that I wouldn't join the Spirit Pagoda for now? Why are you taking me to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters?"
Temporarily not joining the Spirit Pagoda was Leng Yaozhu's agreement with Jing Shaoyu.
Jing Shaoyu himself didn't have any intention of joining an organization at the moment, and Leng Yaozhu didn't want Jing Shaoyu to enter the Spirit Pagoda just yet, as it would be detrimental to her plans. She still wanted to show off in front of certain people.
"Going to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters doesn't necessarily mean you have to join the Spirit Pagoda, does it?" Leng Yaozhu said speechlessly. "Don't worry, your teacher knows what she's doing."
"Oh!" Jing Shaoyu said, then fell silent.
East Sea City, as the location of one of the Spirit Pagoda's Eighteen Pillars, had a direct highway to Shrek City, where the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was located. It passed through Star Luo City, the former capital of the Star Luo Empire, but Leng Yaozhu clearly had no interest in this historical city. Even when Jing Shaoyu expressed his desire to take a look, she chose to ignore it directly.
The next day, in the evening, they arrived at Shrek City.
However, Leng Yaozhu's car didn't drive into Shrek City. Instead, it went around the outer city and directly entered the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was located to the north of Shrek City, behind which was the famous Star Dou Great Forest. The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was the tallest building on the continent. The Eight Directions Pagoda's shape looked extremely majestic, towering into the clouds, and the top couldn't be seen from the ground.
Leng Yaozhu parked the car in the parking lot below the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, then grabbed Jing Shaoyu's arm under his puzzled gaze.
Jing Shaoyu only felt a strong force coming, and his body fell backward uncontrollably. However, he didn't actually fall, but crashed into a soft body, and a faint fragrance entered his sense of smell.
"We're here," Leng Yaozhu's voice came from behind.
Jing Shaoyu was stunned, then immediately controlled his body to stand up straight. His eyes subconsciously swept around, and then he found that he was standing in a room full of various high-tech instruments.
"Teacher, where is this?" he asked in confusion.
"My studio," Leng Yaozhu said, then walked to an instrument. "Come here, let me examine you."
"Okay." Jing Shaoyu obediently walked over and, following Leng Yaozhu's instructions, lay on the metal platform of the instrument.
Jing Shaoyu noticed that a metal strip flashing blue-purple light slowly rose from under his feet, then slowly moved up, scanning his body from head to toe with the blue-purple light.
The blue-purple light finally stopped on Jing Shaoyu's forehead, making him feel dizzy.
"Alright, get up." Leng Yaozhu's voice came, and Jing Shaoyu immediately sat up. He couldn't take it anymore; if he lay down any longer, he would fall asleep.
Leng Yaozhu looked at Jing Shaoyu's personal data on the display screen in front of her, her beautiful eyes shining with strange colors.
"A Yuan, you really are a little monster!" Leng Yaozhu exclaimed, "When I was your age, I didn't have data like yours."
Hearing this, Jing Shaoyu walked to Leng Yaozhu's side and focused his gaze on the display screen, taking in his data.
"Bone age: ten years, one month, and seven days.
Soul Power: twenty-ninth level (36.75%).
Body Strength: eight thousand three hundred and sixty-six years.
Soul Spirit Level: Purple (three thousand three hundred and thirty-four years).
Mental Power: Spirit Connection Realm (four hundred and seventy-two points)."
"Good!" Leng Yaozhu clapped her jade hands lightly and said, "Now, come with me. While you haven't broken through to the Soul Grandmaster realm yet, it's relatively easier to improve your Soul Spirit. Let's first raise your Soul Spirit cultivation to the limit your body can withstand."
"Okay." Hearing this, Jing Shaoyu, of course, agreed with Leng Yaozhu's decision.
"A Yuan, come over here." Leng Yaozhu walked to the other side of the room, then beckoned to Jing Shaoyu and called out, "Lie down in this landing pod first."
Jing Shaoyu walked over and saw that there were two metal seats similar to recliners placed against the wall. According to Leng Yaozhu, these two metal seats were actually landing pods. What landing pods? Could they be landing pods for the Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform?
He lay down on one of the landing pods, and Leng Yaozhu pressed a button below the armrest on the left side of the landing pod. Then, a glass cover slowly fell from the back of the seat, enveloping Jing Shaoyu. This 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 was saying through the shape of her mouth.
"Stay where you are after you go in."
With a doubtful mood, Jing Shaoyu gradually lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was already in an ancient and deep forest.
The forest felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen it in his dreams. The trees in the forest were very thick, each full of vitality, lush and verdant.
There was a strange sense of reality here.
"Where is this..." Jing Shaoyu murmured.
"This is the Advanced Spirit Ascension 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 very slim red knee-length dress, which looked very elegant, but now, she was wearing a white tracksuit, and her red hair was tied into a high ponytail, which made her look energetic and like a lively and cheerful girl.
"Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform?!" Jing Shaoyu quickly broke free from Leng Yaozhu's peerless beauty and shouted in surprise.
"That's right." Leng Yaozhu nodded, walked up to Jing Shaoyu, took Jing Shaoyu's hand, and walked forward, "The Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform is one of the most core devices of our Spirit Pagoda, and it is also the original Spirit Ascension Platform. The level of confidentiality is the highest, and it is generally not open to the public unless there are special circumstances.
To enter the Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform, you either need the simultaneous approval of three Pagoda Masters, or you need a Pagoda Master to lead you personally.
The environment inside the Advanced Spirit 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!"
"So that's how it is!" Jing Shaoyu's face showed surprise. He knew that the Spirit Ascension Platform was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"We only need to find two Soul Beasts with 50,000 years of cultivation, which is enough to raise A Yuan's Soul Spirit cultivation to the limit." Leng Yaozhu said, "So A Yuan, you have to be prepared. I'm very fast!"
"Yes, yes!" Jing Shaoyu nodded.
The master and disciple advanced for about five or six kilometers before encountering the first Soul Beast.
The Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform is like the deep area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Each Soul Beast has its own territory, and under normal circumstances, they will not run around.
The first Soul Beast they encountered was a Light Holy Tiger with exactly fifty thousand years of cultivation. Seeing someone intrude on its territory, the Light Holy Tiger immediately stood up and let out an earth-shattering roar towards the master and disciple.
"Haha, it seems I didn't remember wrongly, little kitty, it's you!" Leng Yaozhu looked at the roaring Light Holy Tiger, a hint of joy flashing in her beautiful eyes. She let out a pleasant laugh and said softly, then leaped forward.
In Jing Shaoyu's shocked gaze, Leng Yaozhu appeared on top of the Light Holy Tiger's head. Her jade hand pressed against the Light Holy Tiger's head, and then, golden flames instantly bloomed into an incomparably gorgeous rose. The Light Holy Tiger with fifty thousand years of cultivation slowly fell in this dazzling flame rose.
"A Yuan, come over." Leng Yaozhu landed lightly, beckoned to Jing Shaoyu, and called out, "Absorb the Spirit Power of this big white cat, and your Soul Spirit should be able to be promoted to a five-star purple Soul Spirit."
Jing Shaoyu was amazed by Leng Yaozhu's strength and quickly walked towards her, asking, "Five-star purple Soul Spirit? What's that about?"
