To conceal the main ingredient of his so-called divine medicine, Nangong Lingyun had considered many methods.
From color to taste, to scent, and even the effects and sensations experienced when it took effect, everything was vastly different from pure Whale Gel.
Those dozens of spiritual herbs weren't just for aiding absorption, correcting deficiencies, and making the medicine stronger and richer.
The most important thing was to confuse perception.
After all, this stuff had another use on the Douluo Continent, and that was as an aphrodisiac. Its effects were even stronger than those blue pills, and the nobles were very likely to have used it.
In addition, he had specifically added extreme vitality and blood energy.
This not only greatly enhanced the effects of the Whale Gel, making its potency at least double that of normal consumption.
Furthermore, during absorption, ---
The extreme vitality also caused a strange sensation within the body, both comfortable and uncomfortable, making even the bones feel numb, as if the entire body was undergoing a major transformation.
The latter wasn't any better. The blood and qi throughout the body surged and rolled, as if the strength was being greatly enhanced.
Even if there were any experts present, they would only think that these two special energies were the main ingredients.
Gu Yue Na silently complained in her heart,
but the absorption didn't stop, because she was surprised to find that this thing was actually useful to her.
Even though this body was created using a Divine Spark, her physique wasn't actually weak. The standard soul ring configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, purple was just to conceal her true strength. She could change it to four black, and even all red or all gold in the future if she wanted.
But who would dislike having more power? Even if it was only a little.
Moreover, she needed to find a reason for her not-so-weak physique.
Kaiyuan Sect's divine medicine would be perfect.
And at this moment,
the impact of Nangong Lingyun's previous words began to show.
A sneaky figure slowly peeked out from below the steps.
Wearing a rounded black leather outfit, her figure was explosive, and her hairstyle featured a pair of large cat ears. Who else could it be but Zhu Zhuqing?
"Come in."
The Silver Dragon King, a big boss, probably didn't need his care. Nangong Lingyun decisively walked out the door and beckoned.
A moment later, in another palace,
the little cat asked with a look of anticipation:
"Yun… Sect Master, if I join the Kaiyuan Sect, will my original identity affect you?"
"Forget about the Ghost Nether Duke Manor. Even if the Pope's disciple or daughter came, I'd still take you in.
Also, when did you start being so distant with me?"
Nan Gong Lingyun's slightly displeased voice instantly made Zhu Zhuqing's heart bloom.
With a ninety-five percent success rate, her feelings for the man before her were already overwhelming, the kind that kept her tossing and turning every night.
But due to past experiences, plus certain insights into the royal family, she had to be cautious.
She could only keep it all bottled up, not daring to reveal a single hint.
This simple sentence actually touched her heart more than the most romantic love words.
Immediately, she was moved and said,
"Brother Yun, I'll join."
Nangong Lingyun, as usual, issued the identity token of a Kaiyuan Sect disciple and read out the sect rules, also giving her a piece of prepared Whale Gel.
It was a forty-thousand-year-old one. The little kitty's cultivation was only at the Soul Grand Master level now. A seventy-thousand-year-old one would be too wasteful. He would give her another one before she obtained her fourth soul ring in the future.
After doing all of this, he called the rabbit over to help look after Zhu Zhuqing. He himself returned to the main hall, waiting for the next guest to arrive.
As expected, in just over two hours, a carriage from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived at the academy gate, and Yuan Tiangang personally led them to the Copper Sparrow Terrace.
Ning Fengzhi didn't waste any time upon seeing him, immediately launching into a series of flattering remarks.
"The Kaiyuan Academy teaches well. Even a mischievous girl like my daughter now knows to work hard on her cultivation.
This time I went home, and both my Sword Uncle and Bone Uncle were greatly surprised."
As a support-type Soul Master who could lead the second-ranked sect in the world, his skill in the art of language was maxed out.
One sentence not only gave the person being praised a lot of face,
but even Ning Rongrong, standing behind him, couldn't help but proudly puff out her chest, feeling honored as well.
It's just that for A, it doesn't matter much whether you stand up or not.
"Sect Master Ning flatters me. The academy's primary purpose is to educate and nurture people."
After the pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi couldn't wait to ask: "Sect Master Nangong, I have two questions regarding the divine medicine. May I inquire?"
"Please, ask away."
"Firstly, for a Martial Soul like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the skill effects are quite fixed, amplifying strength, speed, soul power, attack, defense, and attributes. The amplification ranges from twenty percent at the first ring to a maximum of eighty percent after becoming a Soul Saint.
It can only change the order of amplified attributes based on the target soul beast's ability preferences, but it's difficult to have other changes. This includes, but is not limited to, the emergence of completely new amplification directions, increasing the ratio, or breaking through innate shackles."
"Can Overlimit Soul Rings achieve this? If not, what's the point of the Overlimit?"
Nan Gong Lingyun was silent for a moment.
"High-quality soul rings are superior to low-quality and mismatched ones, that's undeniable.
Even if there's no change in the soul skill effects, there will definitely be advantages in other areas, such as usage cost.
As for breaking through the innate shackles, I can't guarantee that.
However, Overlimit Soul Rings are at least a worthwhile and promising approach.
As everyone knows, besides providing skills, soul rings can also strengthen one's physique and spirit, and evolve the Martial Soul. Accumulating this over time might lead to the changes you desire."
Nan Gong Lingyun knew that immortal herbs could compensate for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's flaws.
But he wasn't one to let go before seeing results. He wouldn't reveal any truly confidential information until the favorability rating reached ninety percent.
Unless, like with Qian Renxue, there was something to be gained, even if it was just a profitable business deal.
First, make the other party one of his own, then invest in nurturing his subordinates.
It was completely different from rushing to expend valuable resources and begging for someone's loyalty before even getting started.
In a word, simps don't get the girl.
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged. This answer wasn't far from what he had expected. He then followed up with a question:
"Sect Master Nangong mentioned this morning that besides being able to exchange a Divine Herb of the same age, a Soul Spirit would also be given with the Soul Bone. I wonder… what is this thing? And what is its use?"
"Sect Master Ning is mistaken about one thing. The Soul Bone is the price for buying a Soul Spirit, and the Divine Herb is the one that is given as a bonus."
"As for the effects, please take a look..."
Nangong Lingyun used his soul power to condense a screen in front of them, displaying the scenes of Jingling, Huowu, and Jerry summoning and using Soul Spirits.
With a whoosh, Ning Fengzhi's face, which had been as pleasant as a spring breeze, suddenly flushed red. He was incredibly excited and said, "I'll buy it, I'll buy it!"
Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong's eyes also widened.
Summoning a phantom of a soul beast, possessing intelligence, and retaining its abilities from its lifetime – wouldn't this allow support-type Soul Masters to gain combat capabilities?
