“Very well, only when you are well-fed can you concentrate on your studies.” Brigitte replied calmly, still tilting her head.
It was noon, time to prepare a big pot of food for the soul beasts.
To improve efficiency, Dongfang Jing even used his second soul skill to conjure several mirror images of himself cooking at the same time.
Seeing the chef start the fire, the spirit beasts lined up in an orderly fashion, eagerly watching the bubbling pot.
Dongfang Jing, on the other hand, started a separate kitchen and specially cooked several vegetarian dishes.
He also discovered that Brigitte seemed to prefer vegetarian food over meat.
Looking at her disciple's thoughtful actions, Biji felt a warmth in her heart.
If the decision to take on disciples was initially influenced by considerations of planning for the Soul Beast Clan, then perhaps it was also partly due to those considerations.
Now, Brigitte genuinely wants to treat this boy even better.
Gazing at Dongfang Jing's busy back, Biji suddenly thought:
"My disciple has been diligent and hardworking these past few days, and his soul power has already broken through to level thirty-nine. He will soon need his fourth soul ring."
She sighed softly, knowing that this day would eventually come, and that there would be a fifth and a sixth time.
at this time,
Suddenly, a golden stream of light entered Brigitte's field of vision.
The streak of light leaped several times before finally landing quietly behind Dongfang Jing.
Chapter 98 Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Attribute Guidance
(Where did the kids go for the holiday?)
A figure appeared amidst the flashing light.
It was a soul beast covered in brilliant golden fur, resembling a lion but with three eyes.
Brigitte's pupils contracted, and she hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully.
The Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
'Why did it come out when it wasn't at the bottom of the lake?' Brigitte wondered.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is only five thousand years old.
The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, which often guards it, is currently asleep. For its safety, Emperor Tian specially asked it to temporarily reside at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
Normally, Bi Ji would take care of him, but these days Bi Ji spends all her time with Dongfang Jing, so the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has sneaked out.
A few days ago, Biji spoke with Ditian again, saying many good things about Dongfang Jing in an attempt to change Ditian's opinion.
At that time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was nearby. Seeing that Bi Ji had not returned to the bottom of the lake for several days, out of curiosity, it slipped out when Da Ming and Er Ming were not paying attention.
The three-eyed golden lion raised its head and scrutinized the Eastern Mirror, thinking to itself: 'Is this the human disciple that Bi Ji has taken in?'
It gently twitched its nostrils, and its eyes suddenly lit up! What a wonderful smell!
Upon discovering that the aroma was coming from the large pot, it leaped towards it without hesitation.
Without turning his head back, Dongfang precisely grabbed the scruff of its neck and said calmly, "You have to queue for food; cutting in line won't get you a share."
The mythical beast was startled, then struggled violently, its four dragon-claw-like claws flailing wildly, and it even spoke in human language: "Human! Let go of your filthy hands!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing turned his head, looked at the little beast in his hand in surprise, and his eyes lit up.
This spirit beast is truly extraordinary; it's golden, with a unique and beautiful texture in its fur.
What's even more surprising is that it can actually talk?
Brigitte rushed over, wanting to take the food but hesitant to do so.
As a soul beast, she dared not touch the noble imperial beast casually, so she said to Dongfang Jing, "Disciple, would you please let it go first?"
Dongfang Jing did as instructed and gently placed it on the ground.
But as soon as it landed, it bared its teeth and tried to pounce on me again.
Brigitte quickly spread her arms to block Dongfang Jing, shaking her head repeatedly with a pleading expression.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion knew Bi Ji, and since they were of the same sex, it gave her face.
She snorted coldly, but her eyes remained fixed on the large pot.
Biji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Disciple, why don't you get this child some food first?"
Dongfang Jing didn't mind and simply responded.
He looked at the soul beasts queuing in front of him and found that they were all bowing their heads, their attitude even more respectful than when they saw Bi Ji. This scene was truly astonishing.
Dongfang Jing filled a bowl with food and handed it to Biji.
Biji approached the auspicious beast and placed the food on the grass.
The three-eyed golden lion jumped to the edge of the basin, glanced at Dongfang Jing first, and then began to eat heartily.
After eating its fill, it squinted its eyes contentedly, its little belly round and bulging, and fell asleep right there on the lawn.
Dongfang Jing and Biji continued their meal. He looked at the sleeping auspicious beast and asked, "Master, what is it?"
Brigitte swallowed her food and told the truth: "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion."
She explained in detail: "Disciple, I once told you that in ancient times, the continent was ruled by spirit beasts. Whenever an auspicious beast appeared, it was revered as an emperor, hence the name Emperor Auspicious Beast. Any spirit beast must kneel and worship before it and would never harm it! Where there is an auspicious beast, the growth rate of all spirit beasts can be doubled, and the chance of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast breaking through its bottleneck can also be doubled!"
"So that's how it is!" Dongfang Jing suddenly realized, no wonder the soul beasts were so respectful to it.
'However, since the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is so important to soul beasts, why doesn't it have a powerful guardian by its side?'
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Brigitte, who was dining elegantly, then looked away and continued eating.
However, the appearance of the auspicious beast made Biji think about another problem.
Where auspicious beasts dwell, all beasts find shelter.
Its category is supreme, and people can receive it.
May good fortune bless you, and may your future be limitless.
'If I allow my disciple to be guided by the auspicious beast's attributes, it will undoubtedly greatly benefit his future cultivation! But this is an imperial auspicious beast; if I make this decision on my own, Emperor Tian…'
After hesitating for a long time, Brigitte looked up at Dongfang Jing, whose eyes were clear, and finally made up her mind.
'My disciple, let me test you. What is the ultimate attribute?'
Although puzzled, Dongfang Jing put down his chopsticks and answered seriously, "Extreme attribute represents the limit of a certain attribute. A martial soul with an extreme attribute may advance to the Limit Douluo or even the God rank. Why did you suddenly ask this, Master?"
The concept of extreme attributes has not yet been discovered by humankind.
But Brigitte lived longer and saw more of the world.
Therefore, the knowledge that could teach Dongfang Jing was far superior to that of any academy teacher.
Biji explained, "That imperial auspicious beast possesses the attributes of light and fire. Although both of these are close to their extreme values, they are not its primary attributes. Its primary attribute is actually spiritual power!"
She then explained in detail the mysteries of attribute attraction.
"Now do you understand what I mean? If you connect with its attribute, your mental strength will definitely increase significantly, and even your eye soul bone may evolve!"
Dongfang Jing nodded, indicating his understanding.
But is there really such a good thing in the world?
After careful consideration, he clarified the key point: "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is the carrier of the Star Dou Great Forest's destiny. If I accept the guidance, it means that a portion, or even all, of the auspicious energy from the mythical beast will be transferred to me. In other words, my fate will be intertwined with that of the Soul Beast race, is that right, Master?"
"My disciple is indeed very clever," Brigitte nodded silently.
Suddenly feeling a little guilty, she was afraid that her disciple would misunderstand that she was using him, so she quickly added, "Disciple, it's up to you whether you accept him or not. I'm just telling you about the auspicious beast's abilities!"
Dongfang Jing had no other thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he asked only one question.
"Master, if I choose to be guided, will the dream you once spoke of be one step closer to its realization?"
After asking,
Seeing that Bi Ji remained silent for a long time, Dongfang Jing understood.
He stood up: "Okay, I accept. Master, what should I do?"
As Brigitte gazed into Dongfang Jing's unwavering eyes, her hands, hidden under the table, unconsciously clenched.
"Di Tian, if we cling to outdated rules and refuse to seek alternative paths, our future will be severely limited!"
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
'Di Tian, you should be able to understand me, right?'
Time passes slowly.
The three-eyed golden lion, having eaten its fill, slowly awoke.
As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw the silver-haired human's forehead approaching its own.
It instinctively tried to back away, but found itself being held, its entire belly exposed to Dongfang Jing without any cover.
The three-eyed golden lion was both ashamed and furious, filled with a mixture of shame and indignation!
When I turned around, I was surprised to see that it was Brigitte who was holding me!
At this moment, Brigitte was trembling violently, her beautiful eyes tightly closed.
In the world of soul beasts, no soul beast dares to touch its body.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is extremely violent; anyone who tries to touch it will be attacked in a frenzy.
Even Brigitte, who was relatively close to it, was scratched mercilessly with its claws, leaving several bloody marks on Brigitte's fair and jade-like arms.
Despite this, Brigitte still did not let go.
She was heartbroken too; the auspicious beast was one she had watched grow up.
But for the sake of her disciples and the great cause of the soul beasts, Bi Ji was willing to take action herself and dared to provoke the wrath of the beasts.
She appeared to be simply embracing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion from behind, but her arms were already surging with immense life energy, and a soft, emerald-green halo quietly appeared.
The auspicious beast is gently confined within.
This is not meant to cause harm, but rather to ensure that the initiation ritual does not go wrong due to its violent struggles.
