Capítulo 62: Guoba
Hearing Zhongli's words, neither Paimon nor Chi Yu had any objections.
Paimon's eyes sparkled with anticipation; the lure of food was irresistible to her.
She loved delicious food, though she would eat anything to fill her stomach.
After all, she had fainted from hunger before.
Now, with delicious food on the horizon, her excitement was palpable.
"Great, although I love Zhongli's cooking, I also enjoy the food at Seven Treasure Hotel, mainly because..."
"...because there's a wider variety there."
In Liyue, the spread of culinary knowledge was credited to Marchosius, also known as Guoba, who was actually the Stove God.
But in the hearts of many Liyue people, Morax was the Stove God because Zhongli also played a part in spreading culinary techniques.
Later, Marchosius sacrificed his power for Liyue and fell into a deep sleep...
The legend of Morax being the Stove God spread even more widely...
As a deity, Morax did not bother to explain these things. He wouldn't interfere with human choices.
As long as he lived, he would not forget his old friend, Marchosius.
"Old friend, do you have money?"
Guoba: "..."
Zhongli's eye twitched at Paimon's words. Did she really think his cooking was inferior to Seven Treasure Hotel's?
Maybe Paimon just wanted a change of pace, having grown tired of his cooking.
He wouldn't easily interfere with others' choices, and Paimon's preferences didn't anger him.
He was beyond such emotions.
Being kind to Chi Yu also stemmed from respecting her choices. She chose to stay by his side and became part of his group, so naturally, he would treat her well.
His companions couldn't be too weak, or it would be exhausting for him...
Of course, Paimon was an exception. She was currently helpless, but perhaps in the future, she would find a way.
Chi Yu blinked in confusion at Paimon. She hadn't tasted Zhongli's cooking yet, but she believed it must be better than Seven Treasure Hotel's!
A budding Zhongli chef fanatic was developing.
After spending more than a day together, Chi Yu's gratitude was gradually transforming into admiration for Zhongli...
From admiration, she became a fervent fan...
Eventually, she became a twisted, fanatical follower of Zhongli.
"Whatever Master says!"
Chi Yu blinked earnestly, her eyes filled with Zhongli's reflection.
Zhongli: "..."
He had corrected her several times, but she didn't listen...
Forget it, let her call him whatever she wants.
With Zhongli's insight, he could naturally gauge Chi Yu's physical endurance.
Under the amplification of the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia and Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, her first spirit ring would not be merely a hundred years old.
The Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia repaired her body and spirit defects.
The Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone strengthened her physique and increased her spirit power...
Once Chi Yu had absorbed enough of the medicinal power from both herbs, Zhongli would select the appropriate immortal herb for her second spirit awakening.
At that point, Chi Yu would soar to new heights!
With her body and spirit integrated, Zhongli had no idea what Chi Yu's upper limit might be.
After being transformed by the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia and Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, her innate spirit power, or innate aptitude, could completely rival the geniuses with innate full spirit power!
"Hopefully, she can stand on her own in the future. This child has had such a pitiful start..."
Zhongli thought to himself without saying it out loud.
The Sunset Forest was the largest soul beast forest within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Located near Heaven Dou City, it was about an hour's journey for a grandmaster soul master.
Although the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest were not as numerous or powerful as those in the Star Dou Forest, there were still many strong soul beasts.
Zhongli, Chi Yu, and Paimon made their way to the inner region of the Sunset Forest without encountering any troublesome soul beasts along the way.
As if remembering something, Zhongli spoke, "Generally speaking, your martial soul is a cat, which falls under the agility attack type, yet it is also a variant martial soul."
"Your martial soul is integrated with your body, making it a body martial soul."
"Body martial souls also have different categories..."
"Zhongli, you mean Chi Yu can still follow the agility attack path?"
Paimon blinked in confusion, asking.
She was somewhat puzzled by terms like strong attack, agility attack, control, and support...
Agility attack sounded like a soul master focused on agility.
"Yes."
Zhongli nodded.
After all, it's a cat. Even if the martial soul merges with the body, it can still follow the agility attack path to maximize the martial soul's advantages.
Chi Yu didn't understand any of this and just nodded at everything Zhongli said.
After some thought, Zhongli glanced at Chi Yu again...
He knew the general direction, but he wasn't familiar with the many nuances of soul masters.
He could judge the approximate age of soul beasts from the energy within them, but he didn't recognize many soul beasts...
"I should visit the library when I have time."
Zhongli thought to himself.
Since he had come to the Douluo Continent, he should learn about its features.
As for Chi Yu, after she acquires her soul ring, they would consider whether she needed to go to school.
"Your physique can probably handle the energy of a three-thousand-year soul ring."
With a body martial soul, spirit power beyond the tenth level, and the assistance of the immortal herbs, Chi Yu's physical strength was comparable to that of a Soul Elder at their level thirties.
A level thirty Soul Elder could generally absorb a soul ring around seventeen hundred years old.
However, Chi Yu's physical strength far surpassed that of a typical level thirty soul elder, yet it couldn't compare to a level forty soul elder.
Three thousand years was a reasonable middle value.
Once she acquires her first soul ring, her body will be further strengthened by its energy, allowing her second soul ring's upper limit to increase.
Why do body martial soul users have soul rings far exceeding those of ordinary people?
The main reason is their strong physique, which allows them to withstand greater soul power shocks.
This is also the secret of twin martial souls!
The first recorded twin martial soul user died from absorbing soul rings due to insufficient physical strength.
"A three-thousand-year soul ring?"
Paimon was stunned, knowing the colors corresponding to different soul ring ages.
A thousand-year soul ring is purple.
Weren't the first soul rings of those soul masters either white or yellow?
"Zhongli, can little Chi Yu absorb a thousand-year soul ring?"
"I see those soul masters' first soul rings are usually white ten-year soul rings or yellow hundred-year soul rings."
"Wouldn't absorbing a thousand-year soul ring for her first one be problematic?"
Paimon asked worriedly. She couldn't get along well with Chi Yu but didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
The girl was nice, but she seemed to have a particularly negative view of humans...
