When Ling Yi quietly absorbed the Soul Ring and broke through to the Soul Master level in his own home, the entire Mountain Sea Village remained peaceful, with only the 'Blue Silver Grass' scattered everywhere showing a brief reaction. No one knew what had happened.

Even the four little kids playing in the Ling Family courtyard, and Zhang Xiaoyu and Ling He, who were watching the children while doing their chores, had no idea that just a few dozen meters underground, their brother, son, and nephew had broken through the generational barriers of the Ling and Zhang families, about to usher in a new chapter for the Ling Family's lineage.

It was evening when Ling Xiaoshan returned from the fields with Zhang Lei, and Zhang Dahé came back carrying a basket full of large fish. The grandparents and maternal grandparents also brought baskets of vegetables.

With the Ling Family raising domesticated wild chickens, rabbits, and boars, Zhang Xiaoyu and Ling He were busy slaughtering chickens and rabbits. The pork hanging from the kitchen beam, smoked, made the evening meal even more sumptuous than lunch, with everyone eating until their mouths were greasy and their bellies full.

The next morning, Ling Yi, accompanied by Zhang Lei, Ah Huang, and Miaomiao, entered the Old Forest to the north of the village.

"First Soul Skill: Vitality Flourishing—!"

Under the 'Iron Birch Tree,' Ling Yi held the Martial Soul 'Blue Silver Grass' and softly recited his first soul skill.

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint, blue-green light flickered on the 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul.

The same light also flickered from the bright yellow Soul Ring beneath Ling Yi's feet.

Feeling the Spiritual Power in his body flow spontaneously along an unknown path, reaching his right palm and the 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul, and transforming into a ball of life-filled Active Energy, Ling Yi focused his mind, and the Active Energy turned into a pale green beam, shooting towards Zhang Lei, who was two steps away.

At that moment, Zhang Lei was so stunned by the scene before him that he had no reaction to being hit by the pale green beam.

But soon, the comfort from his body brought Zhang Lei back to his senses. He felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and with wide eyes, he looked at Ling Yi.

"Ah Yi! You… you… you… you've… become a Soul Master…?!"

So shocked, Zhang Lei's voice became a bit shrill.

"Ah~" Ling Yi nodded, his right hand holding the 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul, the bright yellow Soul Ring swirling around his feet, making him seem to glow.

The pale green light lasted only seven or eight breaths before stopping as the Active Energy in the 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul was depleted.

As Zhang Lei opened his mouth to ask something, Ling Yi raised his left hand, signaling him to wait. Zhang Lei immediately contained his curiosity, standing quietly and waiting.

Ling Yi, on the other hand, was reflecting on the sensations he had just experienced while using his first soul skill.

And because he had focused his mental energy, attached to the Active Energy, Ling Yi could sense the changes in Zhang Lei's body as it was washed by the Active Energy.

A few minutes later, after reviewing all the details, Ling Yi, seeing Zhang Lei's eager face, asked, "Brother Lei, tell me, what did you feel when my first soul skill enveloped you?"

"First soul skill~" Zhang Lei repeated, then looked up at Ling Yi with admiration, longing, and respect. "Ah Yi, you really have become a Soul Master!"

Ling Yi didn't rush Zhang Lei, just smiled and nodded, sighing, "Yes~ Finally a Soul Master."

Zhang Lei, also filled with emotion, finally remembered Ling Yi's question. He thought for a moment and said, "Ah Yi, when that light shone on me, I felt very comfortable. It was like being in this forest, where the air you breathe is fresh and fragrant…"

"Then~" Zhang Lei continued, recalling, "I felt my body, like a dry clod of earth in a field, being soaked by water. The green light was like water, and my body gradually turned into rich mud…"

"Yeah~ It felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot bath, but the green light wasn't warm; it was cool and refreshing…"

Listening to Zhang Lei's simple and straightforward description, Ling Yi pondered, extracting the key points.

"Anything else?" Ling Yi asked again, pointing to Zhang Lei's left arm and waist. "I sensed that these areas gathered more of the first soul skill's energy…"

"Huh?" Zhang Lei was surprised, immediately rolling up his left sleeve and lifting his shirt at the waist.

Just a glance, Zhang Lei exclaimed, "Ah Yi, my injuries… they're healed!"

Ling Yi's face showed concern and inquiry. "Injuries?"

Seeing Ling Yi's concern, Zhang Lei explained, "Nothing serious. A few days ago, while hoeing in the field, I accidentally dug up a mole snake and killed it with a hoe, but I twisted my waist…"

"And this arm…" Zhang Lei showed the upper outer side of his left arm. "A couple of days ago, while digging lotus roots in my father's fish pond, I was pricked by a fish's dorsal spine…"

Ling Yi, seeing the wound had healed, leaving only a small, white scar the size of a broad bean, recalled the Active Energy gathering there, realizing it had accelerated the healing process.

Ling Yi also noticed that most of the Active Energy gathered around Zhang Lei's waist, back, arms, and calves.

These areas were familiar to Ling Yi.

Because they were the main areas of exertion when practicing the Three Techniques of the Farmer and the Basic Body Forging Exercises!

Clearly, years of practicing the Three Techniques of the Farmer and the Basic Body Forging Exercises had strengthened these muscles but also caused some wear and tear.

Next, Ling Yi calculated the consumption of his Spiritual Power and used the 'First Soul Skill: Vitality Flourishing' on Zhang Lei three more times, with intervals in between.

Each time, Zhang Lei performed one of the Three Techniques of the Farmer: the hoeing stance, the scythe stance, and the axe stance.

As Ling Yi expected, whenever Zhang Lei's body showed signs of wear and tear, the Active Energy generated by the soul skill would gather there, repairing and healing passively.

Having verified the effects of the soul skill on the human body, Ling Yi had Zhang Lei practice the hoeing stance a few more times while the soul skill's buff was still active.

It turned out that among the Three Techniques of the Farmer, Zhang Lei had mastered the hoeing stance the best and benefited the most from it.

Meanwhile, Ling Yi sat leaning against the 'Iron Birch Tree,' eyes closed, quickly entering a deep sleep.

After about ten minutes, Ling Yi opened his eyes, looking refreshed and energetic. Both his mental state and his Spiritual Power were back to their peak.

Although he had used the first soul skill with intervals, it had still consumed about a third of his Spiritual Power. Now, in just ten minutes, the consumed Spiritual Power was fully replenished, and his Spiritual Power limit had even increased slightly!

When Ling Yi stood up, Zhang Lei, not far away, was holding the 'Hoe' Martial Soul, guarding the prey on the ground.

The prey included three wild rabbits, four wild chickens, and a half-grown Zhangzi (a type of deer), all hunted by Ah Huang and Miaomiao within a four or five-mile radius.

The four wild chickens' necks were already broken, silent, ready for lunch. The three wild rabbits, one was lying still with a broken neck, while the other two had exposed, bloody bone injuries on their front and back legs.

The half-grown Zhangzi (a type of deer) had the lightest injuries, with only a deep wound on the joint of its hind hoof, which had stopped bleeding under its own licking.

Now, it was time to test the healing effects of his first soul skill on these injuries.

Ling Yi also wanted to know if he could draw Vitality Power from the surrounding 'Blue Silver Grass' in addition to the Active Energy converted from his own Spiritual Power.
