The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Every profession has its own specialization!

Su Xiaoya stated that with the system, she could claim to possess seven or eight tenths of the universe, if not the entire universe.

So, is there anything that the system simply cannot solve?

Ha ha!

So far, it's zero!

The system is never stumped.

However, Su Xiaoya preferred to grow on her own, which is why she didn't rely too much on the system.

Even though it's a personal space and a space within her consciousness, Su Xiaoya doesn't seem to rely on it.

Even the strongest support can crumble!

It's better to rely on yourself than on others!

Therefore, Su Xiaoya prefers to hone her skills.

The system can naturally solve the problems faced by the Soul Clan—insecticide, have you heard of it!

Although it's a cultivation-themed version.

"Don't worry, Chieftain." Su Xiaoya smiled and waved a small sachet in her hand. "This contains 'Insect-Repelling Soul Incense,' which I obtained by chance during a training trip. It is specifically designed to counter these soul-eating insects. The aura it emits has a strong repellent effect on Soul-Eating Ants, but it will not harm Soul Crystals or living beings, making it perfect for dealing with them."

Jinlong naturally sided with Su Xiaoya. What others might not know was that the four of them, the tools of Qingyuan Star, were secretly sharing resources, and they were already completely convinced of the system's miraculous abilities.

Of course, it should also be sour.

However, he didn't hesitate to vouch for Su Xiaoya: "Don't worry! Don't underestimate Su Xiaoya just because she's young. She has plenty of tricks up her sleeve and will definitely succeed."

Su Xiaoya was completely bewildered. Was Jinlong praising her? Or was he praising her?

But this sounds like a villain's line—a classic line from the Scorpion Demon in the Women's Kingdom!

Forget it, I've been a soul for 100,000 years, so I don't have many memories left. I'll stop being picky!

The Soul Clan Chief was unaware of the connection between the two. Seeing that the remnant soul of the golden dragon also spoke in this way, he said no more and nodded, saying, "In that case, I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist."

The Soul Clan Chief was truly decisive and efficient, not wasting a single moment. As he spoke, he pointed to several clansmen: "I will immediately order someone to lead you to the area where the Soul Devouring Ants are most rampant—the Dragon Crystal Cave below the Fallen Dragon Slope. That place has the most Dragon Pattern Soul Crystals and is also the main nest of the Soul Devouring Ants."

As he spoke, the clan leader instructed the young clansman leading him, "Achen, you must take Fellow Daoist Su to the Dragon Crystal Cave now and do your utmost to cooperate with him."

The clansman named Achen stepped forward and bowed slightly to Su Xiaoya. The dragon-shaped mark on his forehead shone with a soft silver light. Although there was some curiosity in his eyes, there was no contempt in the slightest: "Fellow Daoist Su, please follow me."

Su Xiaoya followed Achen down the Fallen Dragon Slope. The Dragon Crystal Cave was located in a hidden cave at the bottom of the slope. Even before getting close, she could feel a strong, cold aura coming towards her, which was intertwined with the surrounding dragon aura, making her feel cold all over.

As Ah Chen walked, he explained, "This chilling aura is emitted by the Soul-Devouring Ants. The closer you get to their nest, the stronger the aura becomes. We tried burning them with fire and freezing them with ice before, but we couldn't completely eliminate them. Instead, they escaped into the deeper Soul Crystal veins."

Upon entering the cave, the scene before her eyes secretly alarmed Su Xiaoya.

The cave walls were covered with crystal-clear dragon-patterned soul crystals. These soul crystals shone with a faint silver light and were covered with tiny holes—clearly traces of being eaten by soul-devouring ants.

On the ground and in the cracks of the soul crystal, countless small black dots could be seen moving rapidly. These were the soul-devouring ants, which were frantically gnawing at the soul crystal, making a soft "rustling" sound. When they gathered together, they surged like a tidal wave.

"Fellow Daoist Su, be careful. Once these Soul-Devouring Ants sense a threat, they will swarm and attack. Their mandibles can bite through the soul's defenses." Achen kept a watchful eye on the Soul-Devouring Ants, his soul energy circulating slightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Su Xiaoya nodded, took out a small pinch of light blue fragrance powder from the sachet, and casually tossed it. The fragrance powder dispersed in the air, turning into wisps of soft blue smoke that slowly spread out.

This insect-repelling incense may seem ordinary, but it actually contains a mysterious and special fluctuation of soul power, like ripples suddenly appearing on a calm lake.

As soon as they dispersed, the Soul-Devouring Ants, which had been frantically devouring the Soul Crystals, instantly stopped their movements like a disturbed swarm of bees, curling up into a ball and trembling.

"This...this is too amazing!" Ah Chen's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had seen the most bizarre sight in the world.

He had never seen such a wondrous method, one that could make the ferocious Soul-Eating Ants so terrified, like mice before a cat.

Su Xiaoya smiled slightly and said softly, "This is what they call 'one thing subdues another'!" Her voice was as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song.

She continued to scatter the fragrant powder throughout the cave like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. Wherever the blue smoke reached, the soul-devouring ants fled in panic, like startled birds.

They trampled each other, rushing headlong into the depths of the cave, unaware that Su Xiaoya had already laid a net at the cave exit, scattering a circle of fragrant powder to form an indestructible barrier.

The Soul-Devouring Ants rushed to the exit, but were blocked by the scent of incense powder. They immediately turned around like headless flies and scurried around the cave, but could not break through the area formed by the incense powder.

"Although these Soul-Eating Ants feed on souls, they are exceptionally sensitive to the special soul power in the Insect-Repelling Soul Incense. This scent will make them feel extremely uncomfortable, but it will not harm their lives or affect the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystal," Su Xiaoya explained patiently, like a knowledgeable sage, as she sprinkled the incense powder.

Ah Chen seemed to awaken from a dream, his eyes gleaming with admiration: "Fellow Daoist is truly incredibly powerful. Such methods are unheard of by our clan's cultivators. Before, we only knew how to kill and eliminate, but we never imagined there was such a gentle and effective method."

As the incense powder continued to fall like a fine rain, the number of Soul-Eating Ants in the cave dwindled. Eventually, like defeated soldiers, they gathered in a corner at the deepest part of the cave, trembling and no longer daring to approach the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystals.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoya took out a specially made high-grade spirit beast bag, opened the bag, and gently beckoned to that corner. The scent of the insect-repelling soul incense acted like an invisible conductor's baton, and the soul-devouring ants, like obedient children, surged into the bag like a tide.

"So you can collect them all like this?" Ah Chen looked at this scene, speechless with surprise.

"Yes, after I put them away, I will take them to a place far away from the Burial Dragon Abyss, so that they can no longer harm the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystals here." As Su Xiaoya spoke, she tightened the bag and put the last Soul Devouring Ant into the spirit beast bag.

These "Soul-Eating Ants" are quite a good thing. Not only does the formic acid they spew have many uses, but they would also be worth selling in the system's shop.

Su Xiaoya believed that the system would definitely replace her with suitable rare and precious herbs.

This is what happens to one man's poison: one man's honey!

Looking at the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystal in the cave now, although it was still covered with small holes from the gnawing, there was no longer any trace of the Soul-Eating Ants. The chilling aura had also gradually dissipated, replaced by the pure soul power emanating from the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystal itself.

Ah Chen bowed deeply to Su Xiaoya, saying excitedly, "Fellow Daoist, we, the Dragon Soul Clan, will never forget your great kindness! If these Dragon Pattern Soul Crystals are continued to be devoured, the restrictions of the Burial Dragon Abyss will likely collapse. At that time, not only will our clan face annihilation, but the surrounding creatures will also be affected."

Su Xiaoya put away her spirit beast pouch and said with a smile, "It was just a small favor; we were just helping each other out. Now that the Soul-Devouring Ants have been completely eliminated, I wonder about the Soul-Nourishing Pill..."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Su!" Achen immediately said, "I will take you back to see the clan leader right away. The clan leader will definitely keep his promise and entrust you with the pill formula, the Earth Fire Refining Furnace, and the high-level soul cultivators."

When Su Xiaoya and Achen returned to Meteor Dragon Slope, the clan chief and elders were already waiting there.

Seeing the spirit beast pouch in Su Xiaoya's hand, the clan leader's eyes lit up with urgency: "Fellow Daoist Su, Soul-Devouring Ants..."

“They’ve all been cleared out.” Su Xiaoya shook the spirit beast pouch in her hand. “It contains all the Soul-Devouring Ants. I guarantee they will never bother the Burial Dragon Abyss again.”

The clan leader stepped forward and carefully sensed the direction of the Dragon Crystal Cave. He discovered that the chilling aura there had dissipated, replaced by the pure aura of the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystal.

The Soul Clan Chief's face immediately lit up with ecstasy. He bowed deeply to Su Xiaoya and said, "Fellow Daoist Su is truly talented! My Dragon Soul Clan owes you a great favor! I was blind and underestimated you before. Please forgive me."

The other elders also stepped forward to pay their respects, their eyes filled with admiration: "Fellow Daoist Su's methods are extraordinary. He was able to eliminate the Soul-Devouring Ants so easily. We are truly impressed!"

Su Xiaoya quickly helped the clan leader up and said with a smile, "Clan leader, you're too kind. We're all here to protect the Burial Dragon Abyss, so there's no need to be so formal."

The clan chief straightened up, his eyes resolute, and said, "Fellow Daoist Su, rest assured, the Dragon Soul Clan always keeps its word. Ashan, Ashui, Amu!"

As the clan leader called out, three cultivators dressed in dark red robes stepped out from the crowd. The dragon-shaped marks on their foreheads shone with a much brighter silver light than A-Chen's, and their soul energy was calm and heavy, clearly indicating that they were high-level soul cultivators in the clan.

"Clan leader!" the three responded in unison.

"From this day forward, the three of you will follow Fellow Daoist Su and assist her in refining the Soul Nourishing Pill. Whatever Fellow Daoist Su commands, you must cooperate fully and without uttering a single complaint!" the clan leader solemnly instructed.

"Yes!" The three bowed slightly to Su Xiaoya. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Su."

Su Xiaoya nodded to the three of them: "Thank you for your help, seniors."

Then, the clan chief had someone bring over the complete recipe for the Soul Nourishing Pill. It was a piece of animal hide scroll with densely packed characters written on it in silvery liquid. It was the secret recipe of the Dragon Guardian Soul Clan for refining pills using the soul energy of dragons.

The clan chief handed the animal skin scroll to Su Xiaoya with both hands: "Fellow Daoist, this is the complete recipe for the Soul Nourishing Pill. It records all the steps and precautions for refining the Soul Nourishing Pill, including how to extract the soul energy of dragons, how to proportion the medicinal materials, and how to control the heat... I have already ordered people to prepare the Earth Fire Alchemy Furnace, which is located in the clan's alchemy room. Fellow Daoist can use it at any time."

Su Xiaoya took the animal skin scroll, her heart filled with excitement, and quickly thanked them: "Thank you, clan leader! With the pill formula, the earth fire alchemy furnace, and the assistance of the three seniors, I will definitely be able to refine enough Soul Nourishing Pills as soon as possible so that those dragon eggs and sea creature eggs can hatch smoothly."

The clan chief looked at Su Xiaoya with admiration in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist, you have a kind heart and extraordinary abilities. Your future achievements are bound to be limitless. It is an honor for our Dragon Soul Clan to befriend you. If you ever need any help in the future, just send someone to deliver a message, and our Dragon Soul Clan will do everything in our power!"

Ah Chen, who was standing to the side, also said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Su, let me take you to the alchemy room. The earth fire alchemy furnace has been preheated and can be used to start refining at any time."

Su Xiaoya nodded and cupped her hands in greeting to the clan leader and elders: "Then I'll go refine pills now, farewell."

"Please make your way, fellow Daoist!" The clan leader and elders quickly made way, their eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

Watching Su Xiaoya lead three high-level soul cultivators toward the clan's alchemy room, the clan leader sighed, "I never expected that a pure human girl would have such abilities and such great kindness. Perhaps, this is why the Dragon Clan chose to befriend her."

An elder agreed, "Yes, she not only solved the problem of the Soul-Eating Ants that had plagued our clan for so long, but she also came to prolong the lives of the dragon eggs and sea creature eggs. Such a heart is truly rare. It would be a great thing for our clan to befriend such a person."

The clan chief nodded, his gaze fixed on the distant Western Sea, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "I hope those eggs will hatch successfully, and I also hope that Fellow Daoist Su can refine the Soul Nourishing Pill soon, so that Senior Golden Dragon's soul can be strengthened. In this way, our Guardian Dragon Soul Clan will not have failed our million-year-old alliance with the Dragon Clan."

On the Dragonfall Slope, the Dragon Pattern Soul Crystal emitted a pure silver light, and the members of the Dragon Guardian Soul Clan all wore relaxed smiles. The Soul Devouring Ants that had troubled them for so long had finally been resolved, and all of this was thanks to that seemingly ordinary human girl with extraordinary abilities and a kind heart—Su Xiaoya.

From the direction of the alchemy room, the rumbling sound of burning earth fire could be heard, indicating that a large-scale refining of Soul Nourishing Pills was about to begin.
