An Jin closed her eyes to ditate, feeling as though a pale green seed had coalesced within her mind.
Its light was incredibly faint, and it was pitifully small.
’Could this be spiritual power?’
An Jin suddenly rembered what Ling Hong had told her half a year ago, back when they were trading in Beast Gathering City.
—The only way for a female to beco stronger is to cultivate her spiritual power.
Aside from the negligible few with innate, powerful spiritual talent, the only way for an ordinary female to cultivate her spiritual power was to form partnerships with more and stronger male Beastn.
’No wonder my spiritual power surged so much after I partnered with Ling Hong.’
An Jin closed her eyes again, clearing her mind to enter a ditative state. She gathered all her spiritual power and rapidly expanded it outward, striving to probe the limits of her spiritual range.
Five ters...
Ten ters...
Twenty ters, thirty ters...
She could freely probe anything within a thirty-ter radius, a clear three-dinsional model quickly forming in her mind.
But once she exceeded thirty ters, An Jin felt a dizzying pressure in her head. As ti went on, the pain grew increasingly intense.
Just as she was about to push past the fifty-ter limit, sothing in her mind suddenly snapped.
A sharp pain lanced through her head.
An Jin’s eyes flew open. Clutching her throbbing forehead, she let out a sharp breath and wiped away a film of cold sweat, her mind racing.
’Looks like the limit of my spiritual probe is fifty ters.’
’The optimal range is within thirty ters.’
A range of a few dozen ters wasn’t short, but it was far from enough in the Beast World. The problem was, she had no idea how to cultivate this spiritual power.
’Do I really have to take on more and more partners just to strengthen my spiritual power?’
’No, there must be another way to train.’ She shook her head.
An Jin suddenly thought of soone.
’He grew up in a bustling city. What he’s seen and heard should far surpass that of Ling Hong and the others. Maybe he’ll know sothing?’
The Great Cold was long gone. Bright sunlight peeked through the clouds, bringing long-awaited warmth to a land ravaged by the frost.
In Worri Forest, the ters-deep snow gradually lted away, revealing vast patches of fertile, dark earth and the tips of tender green grass shoots.
All sorts of small animals began to erge from the low-lying shrubs.
Ling Hong had taken his team to hunt at first light. Xi, anwhile, spent most of his ti over with the Water Beastn.
She had no idea where Gu Yin had gone, either. He still hadn’t returned, and even she couldn’t sense his presence.
An Jin sighed, unable to hide her worry.
She knew that with his strength, no creature in this forest could threaten his life. It was simply that the snake didn’t want to co back.
Snake Beasts were masters of concealnt; if he didn’t want to be found, no one could find him.
...
Though An Jin was ho alone, she wasn’t about to skimp on her als. She made two portions of chicken soup, finished one herself, then took the other to Chi Li’s nearby wooden house.
"This is for you. Tell what you think. I’ve been working on a new and improved recipe."
An Jin opened the ceramic pot, revealing a creamy white broth with tender chicken. A tantalizing aroma imdiately wafted up to them.
Chi Li took a sip, a smile touching his eyes. "It’s delicious."
He was not one to give praise lightly.
An Jin pushed the soup across the table toward Chi Li and sat down opposite him. She propped her chin on her hands, her long black hair spilling over her shoulders. "I actually ca to ask you sothing. Do you know how to cultivate spiritual power?"
"Spiritual power?"
Chi Li raised an eyebrow in surprise, his fiery red fox ears twitching slightly. His gaze fell to the snow wolf mark on the back of her neck, half-hidden by her dark hair. A hint of understanding entered his voice. "Well, you’ve co to the right person."
eting her shining eyes, Chi Li deliberately drawled in a lazy, casual tone, "I do, in fact, know how to cultivate spiritual power. And I suppose I could teach you."
"But cultivating spiritual power is no easy feat. It’s far more difficult than it is for Beastn to cultivate Beast Source Power."
Chi Li was a mixed-blood fox Beastman. Even though he had the blood of the mighty Nine-tailed White Fox in his veins, his ordinary Red Fox lineage was dominant.
This ant his talent for cultivating Beast Source Power was far weaker than that of an ordinary Beastman. A long ti ago, with the help of *that person*, he had begun trying to cultivate his spiritual power instead.
He had since achieved a asure of success, so he certainly had the insight and experience to guide a beginner like An Jin.
Chi Li took a few more elegant sips of the chicken soup. He had a small appetite, so he pushed the pot to the corner of the table and left it. "If you want to cultivate spiritual power," he said, "you first need a precious Blood Crystal to draw a spiritual power totem on your body. This makes it easier to channel your spiritual power."
