Chapter 156: Giving My Disciple the Immortal Herb
A striking yellow soul ring appeared on Ning Bei's Ice Snow Girl martial soul.
As Ning Bei began to absorb the soul power granted by the God-given soul ring, the yellow soul ring gradually began to deepen in color.
Half an hour later, the yellow soul ring turned purple.
Two hours later, the purple soul ring turned black, followed by red, and then two golden patterns slowly appeared.
By the third day, five complete golden patterns had appeared on the blood-red soul ring, with the sixth one slowly forming.
Ning Bei furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a bit of pressure building up on his body.
"It's almost there, just a bit more, I have to hold on!"
Now that the fifth soul ring had reached an age of 580,000 years, Ning Bei was aiming to push it past the 600,000-year threshold, which would significantly enhance his soul skills.
Tianmeng and the Snow Emperor in his consciousness sea were both sweating for Ning Bei. They couldn't imagine the scene if Ning Bei's soul power exploded.
Fortunately, that moment never came. Although Ning Bei's forehead veins bulged and there were faint traces of blood vessels popping out, he didn't explode from the pressure.
Several hours later, the sixth golden pattern fully solidified on the soul ring.
Ning Bei slowly opened his eyes, signaling the end of this soul ring absorption.
"Not bad, a 600,000-year soul ring."
"Kid, take it easy. I've still got 600,000 years of soul power sealed here! There's no need for you to take such a risk."
Ning Bei shrugged slightly, ignoring Tianmeng's rebuke.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do something without confidence. Didn't you forget I have a pile of life-saving pills?"
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll let you have your way. But remember, the future of all three of us is on you now."
"Alright, alright, I'll absorb only one hundred-year soul ring for the next four, okay? You've really become timid, no wonder the Ice Emperor never looks at you."
"Uh…"
Tianmeng was at a loss for words, staring at Ning Bei with wide eyes. It seemed difficult for him to understand how such cold words could come from someone with a warm demeanor.
If Ning Bei knew his thoughts, he would probably tell him that lies are harmless, but the truth can be painful.
After completing this special journey, Ning Bei left the Ice God Hall and returned to his room.
After being in closed-door meditation for over ten days, Ning Fengzhi and the others were extremely worried. They finally relaxed when they heard that Ning Bei had returned.
When they learned that Ning Bei's soul power had reached level 97, they were astonished but also filled with pride.
"My son (grandson) Ning Bei, has the potential to become a god!"
Ning Bei, blushing from all the praise, quickly excused himself, saying he needed to return to his room to consolidate his cultivation.
Back in his room, Ning Bei checked on his little disciple's training progress.
Nami had been at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for over a month and had not stopped taking Whale Gel during this time. Ning Bei planned to have her take an immortal herb he had grown before taking her to obtain her soul ring.
The immortal herb he had cultivated was a medicinal herb that originally didn't belong to the immortal herb category. However, after being nurtured by Danxiang, it successfully gained the effects of an immortal herb.
Since the immortal herbs Ning Bei had weren't very suitable for Nami, this was the only solution.
The herb was called Sea Blue Kelp. He had stumbled upon it during his search for Blue Sea Corals while acquiring soul rings for Ning Fengzhi. After being identified by the Dan Tower, Ning Bei realized it would be greatly beneficial for water-type martial souls.
He had been nurturing it in the Dan Tower, and now, it had progressed into the Seven-Colored Kelp. The medicinal effects would surely be much stronger.
Ning Bei called his little disciple to his room and took out the Seven-Colored Kelp.
"Nami, this herb, if brewed into a tea and consumed, will be very beneficial to you. Once you've absorbed the medicinal power, I'll take you to hunt for your soul ring."
Nami's eyes brightened immediately upon hearing her teacher's explanation. She had been eagerly waiting for her soul ring.
Seeing her companions rapidly growing stronger, it was impossible for her not to feel anxious. However, she understood that her teacher had plans for her future, so she never rushed him.
"Thank you, Teacher! I'll drink it right away!"
After giving her some advice on how to use the herb, Ning Bei didn't refuse her request to consume it immediately. He thought it must be tough for her, having to wait until she was 12 to get her first soul ring.
He wasn't worried about his little disciple's future limits. The little girl's determination was clear to everyone. Even though she couldn't see her level increasing without a soul ring, she never slacked off in her cultivation.
In terms of competition within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she and the little kitten were in the top two spots.
Just over ten days ago, the little kitten, after obtaining her third soul ring, had increased her soul power by another level, reaching the rank of a 39th-level Soul Elder.
Their efforts made Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu lament. They had even reduced their walks, fearing that two latecomers might surpass them in cultivation. If that happened, where would their pride go?
As a Sea Soul Master, Nami's soul ring would be best obtained near the sea. Ning Bei decided it was a good opportunity for a trip. Of course, he didn't plan to go alone.
He decided to bring along Dugu Yan, because otherwise, it would be quite lonely.
He had the Albatross deliver a message to Dugu Yan, asking her to come to the sect so they could wait for Nami to finish absorbing the herb before setting out.
Dugu Yan had heard her man mention the little disciple he had taken from Han Hai City, but she had never met her, so she was curious.
"So, we're both going to get Nami her soul ring?"
"Yes, just consider it a little outing!"
Dugu Yan gave him a look of disdain.
"Just an outing? You don't mean you want to take advantage of the moonlight to look at the glowing soul bones?"
Seeing how Dugu Yan looked at him, Ning Bei clutched his chest, retreating a few steps in mock agony.
"Is that how you see your man? I really just want to take you on an impromptu trip."
Knowing Ning Bei's tendencies, Dugu Yan wasn't moved. She rested her chin in her hand and calmly looked at him, nodding.
"Yes, you're definitely that kind of person."
"Pfft!"
Ning Bei almost spit out a mouthful of blood. But since he couldn't change how his woman viewed him, he didn't bother pretending anymore.
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't make you watch the glowing soul bones during this trip."
Dugu Yan shot him a suspicious glance. Had he changed?
"I recently bought a ten-year-old Star Spirit Cat that can do backflips. It's a bit shy, so it can only perform in a dimly lit environment."
"We can watch it together under the covers."
Dugu Yan gave him a look of disdain, knowing full well how things would turn out.
"Go away! I want you to crawl away, now!"
As the couple playfully bantered, Nami, after a few days, had finished absorbing the medicinal power. However, without a soul ring, the benefits she had gained weren't yet visible.
"Master, let's go!"
Nami's eyes were full of excitement, but she froze for a moment when she saw Dugu Yan standing next to Ning Bei.
"Cough, cough, Nami, this is my girlfriend. You can call her 'Teacher's Wife'."
Nami immediately understood, nodded, and then respectfully bowed 90 degrees in front of Dugu Yan.
"Hello, Teacher's Wife. My name is Nami. I'm Teacher's disciple, taken in during the second month!"
"Eh, hello!"
The title of "Teacher's Wife" caught Dugu Yan off guard, and she blushed, greeting Nami with a smile.
