Chapter 8: Breakthrough, Becoming an Apprentice!

  "Hum." A dull hum emanated from Yi Chen's dantian, and the suction force released by the beast soul became even stronger, frantically absorbing the energy contained within the second-grade soul spirit stone.

  The beast soul color in the dantian began to change, originally the soul power color of the yin soul realm was white, but now the soul power color had begun to change from white to black.

  "The second boundary is the Yang Soul Boundary, and the color of the beast soul and soul power is black. It seems that it's really going to advance!" Watching the changes in the beast soul, a joyful expression floated onto Yi Chen's face.

  If he cultivated at a normal speed, Yi Chen would need at least three to four months to advance to the Yang Soul Realm. But this time, after absorbing the Soul Spirit Stone and encountering danger, he unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune.

  Although his heart was racing with excitement, Yi Chen's face remained extremely calm. He closed his eyes to focus on the beast soul within him, not daring to look away for fear of another unexpected occurrence.

  The second-level soul spirit stone contained a vast amount of soul power, but under Yichens absorption, it decreased at a visible rate, finally being absorbed until only an empty shell remained.

  "Peng." The Soul Spirit Stone, which had lost its soul power, turned a dull yellow color and lost all its luster, falling onto the bed with a muffled thud. At the same time, the suction force within Yi Chen's body also vanished without a trace.

  A black beast soul floated in the dantian, its body size had shrunk a lot, but the soul power contained in the beast soul was more than twice as much as before, and even more refined.

  "Finally promoted to Yang Soul Realm!" Yi Chen's eyes were burning as he stared at the black beast soul, his fists clenched tightly, his face filled with excitement.

  In just seven short days, his cultivation rose from the Yin Soul Realm to the Yang Soul Realm. According to his previous understanding, the geniuses of the Yi family would need four months to cultivate to this realm.

  Yi Chen used only seven days, although the process was extremely thrilling, with good luck being a factor, but sometimes luck is also a kind of strength!

  The gap between each boundary is enormous. Yi Chen, who has advanced to the Yang Soul Realm, has even more acute hearing and vision, and his entire body is filled with a sense of power. If he were to encounter the Wind Leopard again now, Yi Chen would be confident in his ability to win.

  "In just seven days, he has advanced two levels in his cultivation. It seems that this little guy's talent for cultivation is not bad." The nearby Yin Wei, who had been staring at Yi Chen all along, flashed a strange color in his eyes and thought to himself.

  "Just now the situation was critical, thank you for your help." After a long time, Yi Chen calmed down his excited mood, jumped off the bed and bowed to Yin Wei.

  Yi Chen has always been clear about his grudges, and if it wasn't for Yin Wei's timely assistance just now, let alone advancing to the Yang Soul Realm, he might still be in a precarious situation.

  "It's just a small effort, don't mind it." Yin Wei casually waved his hand, although he wasn't interested in Yi Chen's words, but in his heart, he had a bit more goodwill towards Yi Chen. "Only family members can use the family name, and you're surnamed Yi, are you an Yi family member?"

  "Senior guessed it right, I am a legitimate member of the Yi family." Yi Chen said to Yin Wei without much guard.

  "Orthodox member?" Yin Wei's eyes flashed with suspicion. Orthodox members have the purest family blood, and will be listed as key cultivation objects, where would they end up like Yi Chen, so down on their luck?

  "The junior is indeed a member of the E family's direct line, only... " Yi Chen briefly recounted the process of receiving the beast soul and being exiled to the Xiping Horse Ranch.

  As for the level of the beast soul, it is naturally a second-level beast soul. After all, his current beast soul has already been promoted to the second level. If he says first-level, it may cause misunderstandings in the future.

  "It turned out to be like this." After listening quietly to Yi Chen's words, Yin Wei finally felt relieved and looked at Yi Chen deeply, saying: "My sect is currently short of one disciple, if you are willing, you can join my sect as a disciple."

  Suddenly, Yi Chen was stunned by the words, and Yin Wei's intention was actually to accept him as a disciple!

  Yin Wei has an air of mystery, his cultivation is extremely powerful. If he were to worship him as a teacher, Yi Chen would be able to receive his guidance. Moreover, he could also obtain better cultivation techniques, and his progress would be even faster.

  "Junior's beast soul level is only second-level, and his cultivation speed will inevitably be slower than others. It seems that there is nothing special about him?"

  If it were someone else, they would have been excited beyond control, but Yi Chen was extremely calm, not a young man who had just started his career, and naturally did things with more consideration.

  "In just seven short days, you can cultivate your middle-grade Yin Soul Realm cultivation to the Yang Soul Realm. From this point, it's clear that your innate talent for cultivation is quite good."

  "The level of a beast soul is not important. Even with only a second-level beast soul, one can still become a magic mirror master."

  Ling stones are closely related to cultivators. If one can become a Demon Appraiser, they will have an endless supply of soul ling stones for cultivation in the future. Therefore, Yi Chen has always dreamed of becoming a Demon Appraiser.

  "Could you be a Demon Refiner?" From the time Yin Wei gave him the Soul Spirit Stone, he suspected that the former might very likely be a Demon Refiner. Now hearing his words, Yi Chen couldn't help but ask again.

  "Can't I be your teacher if I'm not a Mo Jian Shi? Are you being too picky?" Yin Wei scolded with a smile, then proudly said: "Those so-called Nine-Star Mo Jian Shi aren't even worthy of holding my shoes, whether to bow or not is up to you."

  Jiuxing Mojianshi is what kind of realm, Yi Chen does not know, but it must be an extremely powerful existence. This also explains the greatness of Yin Wei, otherwise he would not have spoken with such a big tone.

  "Kneel, of course kneel." Anyway, calling out to a teacher won't suffer any losses, as long as one can become a Mo Jian Shi. After reacting, Yi Chen clasped his fists and bowed: "Disciple greets the teacher."

  "This humble ceremony is truly one of a kind. Well, it's humble, so be it. From now on, you Yi Chen will be my legitimate disciple, Wei's direct descendant." A sly glint flashed in his eyes as Wei's face broke into a smile, and he spoke in a gentle tone.

  The two of them have established a mentor-apprentice relationship. Yin Wei is Yi Chen's lifesaver and also the one who helped him discover the secrets of the Heavenly Book through his soul technique, so he calls Yin Wei "teacher", which the latter accepts willingly.

  "You're a spiritual stone appraiser, so when are you going to teach me how to identify spiritual stones?" Yi Chen asked eagerly after the simple ceremony.

  "Early-stage cultivation lays the foundation for the future, and it is very important for you at this stage. The path of Mojian is easy to understand but difficult to master, requiring a lot of time to learn."

  "If all energy is used to study the magic mirror, the cultivation of soul power will be pulled down and the best time for practice will be missed. Therefore, the wisest approach is to lay a solid foundation first, and then learn the magic mirror."

  Jian Yi Chen made a longing expression, Yin Wei smiled and shook his head.

  Yi Chen was very disappointed that he couldn't learn Mo Jian immediately, but Yin Wei's words made sense, so he could only nod in agreement.

  "Since Mo Jian can't learn it for the time being, surely you have some higher-level soul techniques, Master?" Yi Chen rubbed his hands together and said, looking at Yin Wei.

  "Now that I'm your teacher, I'll teach you everything I know and won't hold back. Here are two manuals: 'Soul Stirring Technique', a incomplete 3rd-grade soul technique, and 'Python Fist', a 3rd-grade soul skill. Take them and start practicing."

  "Three products? Do you have anything even higher quality than this?" Yi Chen asked, rubbing his hands together.

  "Your appetite is not small, the three products are most suitable for your current cultivation stage, and the rest will be said when I come out again." He threw the booklet to Yi Chen, and Yin Wei turned around and left.

  "There's a cheap teacher, looks okay too." Although somewhat disappointed, Yi Chen still showed a happy expression after taking the small booklet.

  "I don't know if the heavenly book can perfect these two things." With his head down, looking at the two small books in his hand, Yi Chen said with full expectation.
