A month later, Sunset Forest!
During this time, Wang Li had gathered all the Blue Silver Grass in the Sunset Forest and several surrounding mountain ranges. His Emperor's Origin, or rather, his Blue Silver affinity, had reached an astonishing 12.46%.
But this was as far as it went. The Blue Silver Grass could not repeatedly provide him with Blue Silver affinity, which meant that if he wanted to continue increasing his Blue Silver affinity, he had to go out.
That's right, an Emperor, after all, must Tour the world, gain the recognition of the world's subjects, and only then can he truly wield power and authority.
At this moment, Wang Li's gaze was firm:
"It seems I need to go out and travel!"
Soon, he returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and used all his lifelong knowledge to prepare several dishes that were visually appealing and tasted decent.
Then, after Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan came out, they ate a meal together, and then he directly laid out his intentions:
"Grandpa, Yan Yan Jie, I want to go out and travel, leave the Sunset Forest, and go to other places."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan asked in confusion:
"But, Xiao Li, don't we need to go into seclusion for a while? Why are you going out now?"
Wang Li smiled and explained:
"When I say go out and travel, I won't be going to big cities, but rather to deep mountains and old forests, nameless mountain ranges, and Spirit Beast forests."
"I'll use my Blue Silver Domain to gather the power of the Blue Silver Grass. During this process, I won't interact much with people. Besides Grandpa and Yan Yan Jie, no one will know what I'm doing."
With that explanation, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan understood. Dugu Bo asked:
"How long do you plan to be gone?"
Wang Li pondered for a moment, then replied:
"I'm not entirely sure, perhaps half a year to a year."
"That long!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed, then her delicate brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of thought, she looked at Wang Li and said solemnly:
"Xiao Li, I'm coming with you! I don't want to be separated from you for so long!"
Although Wang Li thought this was good, he had to consider Dugu Yan:
"Of course, I'm willing, but this trip will surely involve roughing it and difficult conditions. Moreover, Yan Yan Jie, you still need to research medicine and poison. It's best to do that at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where there are abundant medicinal herbs. Traveling around with me would delay you."
Dugu Bo was beside them. He watched this scene with emotion, then said:
"If you want to go, then both of you go. Xiao Li, Yan Yan, with your strength, as long as Spirit Hall, the Seven Great Sects, and the two Empires don't pay attention to you, no one will be able to harm you. As for Yan Yan's research on medicine and poison..."
Speaking of this, Dugu Bo took a bag from his waist and handed it to Dugu Yan, explaining at the same time:
"Yan Yan, as you know, the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse can store living things. Inside are my many years of experience with poison. Even without me by your side, you can still study the essence of my poison. Besides that, there are also many poisonous creatures I've cultivated, all for you to research and also to use for self-defense."
"As for the medicinal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, take whatever you think you'll need first. I'll continue to look after the rest; nothing will happen to them."
Wang Li and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, both pleasantly surprised. Dugu Yan took the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and smiled sweetly, like a spoiled child:
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Dugu Bo smiled indulgently:
"When you're out, both of you must take good care of yourselves. Once you leave, I'll also go into seclusion to accumulate my spirit power and break through the ninety-fifth level as soon as possible."
Wang Li pondered for a moment, then finally spoke:
"Grandpa, you want to break through ninety-fifth level spirit power. I have some thoughts, recent insights of mine, but I'm not sure if they're useful for a Titled Douluo."
"Our Dantian, when we are not mobilizing spirit power, the spirit power is incredibly calm, like a pool of stagnant water."
"Later I thought, can we make the spirit power in the Dantian, which is like stagnant water, move on its own, like a tornado? A small eye of the storm can whip up a tornado hundreds or thousands of feet high, forming terrifying destructive power."
"Let's make the spirit power, with some kind of medium as its core, circulate to form a vortex. This is movement. Then, from movement, seek stillness. Achieve a balance between movement and stillness, allowing this vortex to stabilize, and the spirit power will be constantly circulating."
As Wang Li spoke, Dugu Bo initially just smiled, not taking it to heart, but the more he listened, the more engrossed he became. He also began to frown and think seriously.
Dantian, spirit power, vortex... some kind of medium as the core...
The more he thought about it, the more immersed he became!
Wang Li and Dugu Yan did not disturb him much. After three more days, Wang Li accompanied Dugu Yan to gather many kinds of medicinal herbs.
Three days later!
Wang Li and Dugu Yan came to bid farewell to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo gathered his Spirits and gave them a few words of advice.
Then, he watched them leave, seeing them gradually disappear into the distance. Dugu Bo was very reluctant; they were his last two relatives in the world. However, Dugu Bo was no ordinary person, and he would not be easily swayed by such emotions.
Instead, he murmured to himself:
"With the core of the Dan Bead, condense spirit power into a vortex. There is stillness within movement, and movement within stillness, mutually dependent. When that time comes, I can break through ninety-fifth level spirit power. How did Xiao Li's mind grow like this? He's so smart!"
Immediately, Dugu Bo flicked his sleeve and turned to return to the valley, to the cave where he usually went into seclusion. This time, he was truly not far from breaking through ninety-fifth level spirit power.
At the same time, on the other side!
Wherever Wang Li and Dugu Yan passed, all the Blue Silver Grass twisted their bodies, as if welcoming the arrival of their King.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan also felt very curious, and then asked Wang Li:
"Xiao Li, you're going to other places to gather the power of the Blue Silver Grass, so you're temporarily leaving the Sunset Forest alone?"
Wang Li's gaze swept around. Looking at the Blue Silver Grass, he explained:
"I lead them with my Blue Silver Domain; they have already pledged allegiance to me. But this is not enough. I still need to gather more of the Blue Silver Grass's power, so I need to travel everywhere."
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes blinked. She suddenly remembered the white-haired old man who was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast they had encountered not long ago, and then said:
"Your Spirit is already the Blue Silver King. Could it be that after gathering more of the Blue Silver Grass's power, you'll be able to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, just like that white-haired old man said last time?"
Wang Li nodded upon hearing this. With his hands behind his back, his gaze distant, he said:
"It should be so. The power of the Blue Silver Grass is actually life force. Specifically, it manifests as good health, great strength, and fast recovery."
"Yan Yan Jie, when we first met, I never felt tired no matter how much I ran. That's because my recovery speed is very fast, so I don't feel the exhaustion."
Dugu Yan's eyes curved:
"So you mean your stamina is very good, and you never feel tired?"
Wang Li replied:
"That's right!"
