Su Yu was unaware of the guesses being made about his Martial Soul by Beiming Abyss and Celestial Star inside the Northern Guardian Marquis' Mansion.
At that time, he simply hadn't released his Martial Soul.
Possessing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and the Soul Power of extreme attribute cultivation has this kind of effect.
"Xiaosu, you were really impressive just now."
Zou Yun remembered the scene from before, and still felt his blood boil.
...
Northern Town.
This is the largest city in the Northern Territory and also its most prosperous.
The goods they were escorting this time would mostly be traded here.
Afterwards, local merchants would distribute and sell them to major towns in the Northern Territory.
Once the goods are sold out, Su Yu and the others would head to Frost Town.
"You've probably never been to Frost Town, have you?" Zou Yun inquired.
Su Yu shook his head.
"We're going to Frost Town purely for cultivation."
"Cultivation?"
Su Yu was curious why they'd go to Frost Town when the Northern Guardian Marquis' Mansion already supplied the living materials, even if the caravan didn't pass through there.
Turns out it's for cultivation.
"Frost Town is perfect for Soul Masters with ice attributes. You could say it's the ideal environment for them.
Apart from ice attribute Soul Masters, other Soul Masters can also cultivate in Frost Town.
Under the stimulation of the cold, a Soul Master's cultivation speed will greatly increase in a short period.
Simply put, if we stay there for three to five months, we can upgrade our Soul Power Level by one without any worry."
"Ahem!" Feng Kuang interrupted Zou Yun's analogy, converting it into a frequency Su Yu could register, "Your current Soul Power Level is sixty-eight. If you haven't been to Frost Town before, your efficiency will be optimum on your first visit. Within half a year, you might break through to Soul Saint."
Zou Yun was flabbergasted.
Sixty-eight?
Well, damn.
Xiaosu's Soul Power Level...
There's a difference even among Soul Emperors, and before, he thought Su Yu was just a simple Level 61.
After Su Yu scared off Lang Tian, he held an even higher position in his heart, but Zou Yun still didn't imagine Su Yu to be Level 68.
How terrifyingly fast must his cultivation be to reach this level at fifteen?
Even the Soul Sect, Zou Yun, who was happy about raising a level during four months' accelerated cultivation, could only sigh quietly.
"Is the amplification that significant?"
However, Su Yu's curiosity was mild; his expectations weren't high.
After all, the cultivation efficiency from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is the fastest he can currently access.
"Just right, the caravan also needs three to four months to purchase supplies here, so we can cultivate and then leave with them."
"Boss Zou, that was before; this time we might need to gather more goods, half a year's not enough," a Guard Team member reminded Zou Yun.
"That's true. Well, in that case, Xiaosu, you can cultivate for half a year in Frost Town, breakthrough to Soul Saint, then leave."
...
The day after Su Yu and the others arrived in Northern Town.
"Boss Zou, someone from the Northern Guardian Marquis' Mansion is here."
"Hmm? What's someone from the Northern Guardian Marquis here to find us for?"
"Boss, have you forgotten about Brother Su?"
Zou Yun still dared to casually call Su Yu "Xiaosu", but these brothers respectfully called him Brother Su.
The elder is bigger, and the one with bigger fists is the brother.
"Moreover, Boss, it seems like the visitor is one of the three Soul Saints under the Northern Guardian Marquis, Celestial Star."
Zou Yun's eyes widened, quickly heading out to greet him, while also sending a junior to notify Su Yu.
"Celestial Star, your visit, I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
As for Su Yu, the younger brother he'd picked up, Zou Yun could be casual. But with the renowned and prestigious Soul Saint Celestial Star, he dared not be careless.
"No need. I'm here abruptly as well. The Marquis sent me to make the acquaintance of your distinguished prodigy."
Celestial Star was led into the house by Zou Yun just as Su Yu arrived.
"Nice to meet you, Senior Celestial Star."
"Oh, no, no, compared to you entering the Soul Emperor Realm at such a young age, I can't dare to be called Senior." Celestial Star smiled wryly. "This visit is at the Marquis' behest, and I've brought some small gifts."
He said, taking out a brocade box from the Storage Soul-Guiding Device.
Su Yu didn't refuse, directly accepting it.
The brocade box contained a century-old Snow Ginseng, capable of nourishing qi and blood.
The gift wasn't extravagant, but it expressed some goodwill.
If they'd come straight away with something extravagant, Su Yu would be concerned about the Marquis having ulterior motives.
Upon returning to the Northern Guardian Marquis' Mansion, Celestial Star immediately reported the details of the visit.
"You say his name is Su Yu?"
Beiming Abyss knitted his brows.
"Yes, Marquis," Celestial Star replied, "I also thought it a coincidence, but this Su Yu indeed has robust qi and blood, and his spiritual power sensing shows his whole skeleton is glowing."
"Skeletal Martial Soul?"
All his bones are his Martial Soul.
That's impressive.
Like Feng Kuang, whose blood was his Martial Soul back in the day, both are top-notch Body Martial Souls.
Beiming Abyss thought it couldn't be that coincidental. Two years ago, when Su Yu led the Sun and Moon Royal Team to win the champion of the Soul Fighting Competition, he was merely a Soul Sect.
No matter how fast one cultivates, it shouldn't be possible to go from that to the Soul Emperor in just two years.
Ten levels in one year?
Wouldn't that be like cheating?
"Lord Marquis, this individual's Soul Power is extremely formidable too, definitely beyond Level 67 at the very least."
Celestial Star's Martial Soul is the Star Spirit, a Martial Soul that can greatly enhance perception using the Power of the Stars.
It's not that he used his spiritual power to thoroughly probe Su Yu.
Even without scanning with spiritual power, Celestial Star's keen perception could penetrate a lot about Su Yu from a spiritual power perspective.
Although Su Yu felt it, it was the guy's talent, and he didn't say anything. As long as they didn't scan him comprehensively with spiritual power, probing here and there wouldn't be too offensive.
