the perimeter environment.She followed Yang Bin wherever he went, doing whatever he asked. She didn't go above and beyond, but everyone knew she was part of his team, so they turned a blind eye as lo...After the Ripple team finalized their route, they began their journey toward Soul's Hill. Whenever they passed a city, they would enter it to replenish their supplies and catch up on the latest news from the continent.

After walking for half a month, when they entered the third city along the way, they received the latest news about the contracted fantasy beasts having problems. This year, people who contracted the beasts had more or less encountered issues, but because it was discovered early, it hadn't caused a major disaster yet.

And the first person to discover that the mythical beasts were having problems was Young Master Lian of the Rhodemans and Miss Lea of the Hanis. The two of them had already become famous among their generation, known by more and more people.

When La Ye brought back the news, there was an undeniable smugness in her eyes. Only they knew that this accomplishment had nothing to do with Leia; she was simply lucky enough to be present at the time.

“This matter indeed has to thank Lord Lian and Miss Lea, I have also sent a message back to the family. Fortunately, there aren't many adults in the family this year, only thirty people, and those who made contracts were auxiliary medicinal beasts. There are only eight people with problems, and they were all handled well.”

Raul said with a smile.

"These problematic cases can be dealt with, but the next step is to see if similar situations arise among those who form contracts with fantasy beasts in the fantasy beast space next year. If so, it proves that there is a problem with the fantasy beast space."

After the ripples splashed a basin of cold water, he spoke.

"Lien is right, my father said the same thing. But after discussing it, they decided that until they find a way to cleanse that gray energy, no adults would be allowed into the Fantasy Beast Space."

Leia frowned.

This is also a method, without finding a solution to the problem, recklessly going in, itself is irresponsible to a child who has just become an adult.

Raul nodded in agreement with the suggestion from the Leia family.

"Now, the entire continent has reached a consensus to temporarily suspend the entry of eighteen-year-olds into the Fantasy Beast Space, hoping they can find a solution to the problem as soon as possible."

Ripple also agrees with this approach. Before a concrete solution is found, at least we should prevent the situation from spreading further.

"I hope that when we are adults, we can enter the fantasy beast space."

Leia whispered a silent prayer, hoping for a powerful magical beast to aid her as she charged into battle.

After a month of walking, stopping, and starting again, the group finally reached the Soul-Stealing Hill.

The Soul Hill isn't just one hill, but a whole range of hills. Because there is plenty of rainfall, many trees of different heights grow on these hills. Some lingering souls linger in this grove, weaving through it and forming their own world.

Here, in the eyes of the ripple, is a place of extreme yin. It has energy that nourishes the souls of the dead, which is why these souls can keep their spirits intact.

In the magical continent, this is a reasonable existing species. Some mages will come here to find suitable souls to sign contracts with and become their soul servants, used to deliver messages.

And after serving the mage, a soul can use the mage's power to fulfill its unfulfilled wishes and eventually have the mage send it back to reincarnation. This could be considered mutual benefit.

The Wraith Hill only has a certain number limit. If there are too many wraiths, it will break the balance of the magical continent. At that time, the Mage Association will organize a large ceremony to send away the wraiths with the heaviest obsessions.

And the "Soulflower" is a flower nurtured and grown by souls using their own power. This flower has black petals and a red center, capable of strengthening soul power. When processed into medicine, it can enhance the user's perception of elemental power and also help fantasy beasts increase their strength.

There are two ways to obtain the "Soul Blossom": forceful seizure and exchange. The former is more violent and requires sufficient strength, while the latter requires a certain price but is more gentle and less likely to cause unrest among the souls. After all, you're picking flowers from their doorstep. Lian Ri chose the second option.

After resting outside Wraith's Hill for a night, everyone left their silver-plated steeds behind the next morning and entered Wraith's Hill on foot.

Ripple and Lara wrapped themselves in fur cloaks, shielding themselves from the eerie aura of the wraiths. Leah cast a magic barrier, pulling Gray into the circle to ensure neither of them would be affected by the wraiths. Before entering, Raul drank a potion; the wraiths seemed to steer clear of him.

The souls outside were more ethereal and faint, as if they could vanish at any moment. As you ventured deeper into the Qilin Hills, the spirits you encountered grew stronger, some even resembling living humans.

"Who are you What are you doing here"

A ghost had followed them for a long time, and finally couldn't help but transform into a cloud of black mist that drifted in front of Lianyi, voicing its own doubts.

"Hello! My friend needs a 'Soulflower' to brew a potion. I wonder who I could trade with for one"

The ripples asked politely.

"You guys want flowers! This is easy, I know who has them. Follow me!"

The soul fell to the ground, transforming into a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was plump, with a small round face full of curiosity towards their group.

R ripples and Leia exchanged a glance, then nodded in acquiescence, following the boy as he weaved through the hills.

"My name is Longli. Don't let my young age fool you, I've been here for a long time and know everything that goes on. I've been waiting for Maria to come find me, but she never does. I've also asked the wizards who come in to help me find my mother, but they say they can only help if I sign a contract with them."

But since I signed the contract, I have to leave here. I'm afraid that if Maria comes looking for me and I'm not here, we'll miss each other. So I didn't sign a contract with the mage, and they won't help me.

Lang Li was a chatterbox. As he drifted, he talked non-stop, revealing all his secrets without even needing to be asked by Lian Ri.

"Grandpa Batty, I brought you friends! They want your flowers!"

A lone figure walked for an hour and finally, in the heart of Qilin, came upon a flowerbed. An old man, with hair and beard as white as snow, was carefully tending to the flowers within. Hearing a booming voice, he did not turn around, but merely said:

"Langli, you're out wandering the perimeter again, be careful you don't get taken!"

"No, I'm very careful. I was just waiting for my mother and happened to run into them, so I brought them along the way."

Langli's little mouth kept explaining.

But at this time, Raul looked greedily at the "Soulflowers" of various sizes in the flowerbed. He wished he could rush in and pluck a couple right now, but under Ripple's watchful gaze, he wiped his mouth sheepishly and stood obediently to the side, waiting to negotiate with the old man.

"Hello, Mr. Batty, we're here to ask for a flower. We wonder what you would like in exchange"

The ripple customer politely bowed and then began to speak.

"It's simple, just repair my dwelling and I'll give you more than just one flower; ten flowers wouldn't be a problem."

Bart finally stood up, turned to the ripples and smiled. took out his pulse pillow and began to take Ripples' pulse. The room fell silent all at once, and Tang Huirong did not leave, waiting for the diagnosis.Dr. Liang felt Lian Yi's pulse while asking her...
