After several days of relentless alchemy, even though Qing Mu's mental strength was no less than that of a Title Douluo, he still felt somewhat tired.
"That's all for now. You can go do what you need to do."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, still focusing all his energy on the pills.
At this moment, Qing Mu turned her gaze to Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, you're here. I have something for you."
As she spoke, Qingmu glanced at Ivysaur.
Ivysaur immediately understood, and a burst of emerald light emanated from his body. A strange seed, exuding a rich life force and shining like an emerald, appeared on his forehead.
Qing Mu used his soul power to draw the seed into his hand and then placed it in Ye Lingling's hand.
"This is...
After obtaining the seed, Ye Lingling immediately felt a surge of rich life energy flowing into her body.
Under the pull of that immense life energy, the speed at which the energy circulated within her body immediately increased significantly.
At that moment, Qingmu's voice echoed in her ears.
"This is a seed of wood spirit, which can accelerate your cultivation speed."
Qing Mu had considered giving the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone to Ye Lingling, but Ye Lingling's healing abilities were already very strong, and giving her the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone would only be icing on the cake.
Especially after Qing Mu killed the Cave Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest and obtained a Soul Bone, he decided to give the two Soul Bones to his parents respectively.
As compensation, Qingmu decided to give the Wood Spirit Seed to Ye Lingling. Qingmu's Wood Spirit Seed had mutated due to the influence of Ivysaur, and its effect was much stronger than the original Wood Spirit Seed.
If Ye Lingling wears it for a long time, it can not only accelerate her cultivation speed, but also give her a certain chance of completing the evolution of her martial soul.
"Seed of Wood Spirit?"
Ye Haitang, who was studying elixirs with Dugu Bo and others, immediately flashed to Qing Mu and Ye Lingling's side after hearing the words "Seed of Wood Spirit".
Upon seeing that it was indeed a Wood Spirit Seed, Ye Haitang frowned slightly and said to Qing Mu, "Son-in-law, why did you give this to Lingling? It will affect your cultivation speed."
In Ye Haitang's opinion, it's okay if Ye Lingling's cultivation speed is a little slow, since she is only an auxiliary soul master. But if Qing Mu's cultivation speed slows down, the impact will be huge.
Judging from the current situation, Qingmu is their future pillar, so naturally the faster his cultivation speed is, the better.
Upon hearing this, Qingmu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ye, this thing is no longer of much use to me."
After such a long time, the purification of the Wood Spirit Seed's soul power has long been completed. Staying in its body any longer will not enhance the power of Qing Mu and Ivysaur's soul skills.
As for the Wood Spirit Seed's defense, it's only slightly better than nothing for Qing Mu right now. After all, whether it's the Grass Slide or the Crystallization, they are all more important than the Wood Spirit Seed's barrier.
As for the boost to cultivation speed, Qing Mu mainly relied on the experience gained from leveling up by fighting monsters and training with Ivysaur. The amount of soul power he cultivated himself was almost negligible.
"Really?"
Ye Haitang glanced at Qing Mu with some disbelief, but after seeing Qing Mu's unchanged face, she realized that Qing Mu was not lying.
Then, Ye Haitang turned to Ye Lingling and said, "Daughter, please accept it. If you don't want it, you can give it to your mother."
Although it wasn't that obvious, the accelerated cultivation effect of the Wood Spirit Seed was still useful for Ye Haitang, increasing her chances of breaking through to the Title Douluo level.
Even with the cultivation speed boost from the baptism of the Qiluo Tulip, Ye Haitang's soul power level has only increased by one level in the past two years, reaching level eighty-four.
At this rate, it would take at least seven or eight years to reach level eighty-nine. As for overcoming that bottleneck, Ye Haitang had no idea how long it would take.
After all, there are quite a few soul masters whose soul power is currently stuck at level 89 and who will never be able to break through in their lifetime. The sect leaders of the lower four sects are basically at this level.
"Mom, why are you like this?"
Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Ye Haitang, then accepted the Wood Spirit Seed given to her by Qing Mu.
...
Outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Qing Mu and Ye Lingling were walking side by side, with Ivysaur following behind them.
"Qingmu..."
After strolling around for a while, Ye Lingling spoke first, her eyes fixed on Qing Mu, and said softly, "I want to try our Martial Soul Fusion Technique again."
"..."
Hearing Ye Lingling's words, Qing Mu was slightly taken aback, but still nodded: "Okay!"
Previously, Qingmu and Ye Lingling attempted a spirit fusion technique, but due to Qingmu having too many secrets in her heart, she was unable to open up, and the attempt ultimately failed.
But now Qing Mu's strength is above that of the Douluo Continent, and he can be called a true powerhouse. Many secrets no longer need to be hidden, and there may be a chance of success.
Moreover, Qing Mu was also eager to know what her and Ye Lingling's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was.
Immediately, Qingmu and Ye Lingling clasped hands, their thoughts merging into one.
The next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from the two of them, and the Ivysaur behind them was also enveloped in white light, rapidly growing larger.
A moment later, the two opened their eyes and looked at everything in front of them, their faces showing shock.
Qing Mu looked at the imposing figure emanating a terrifying aura before her, her eyes revealing an expression of surprise, yet also understanding.
"So our Martial Soul Fusion Technique is..."
......
The frozen forest at the northern end of the Heavenly Dou Empire!
The Frozen Forest is one of the largest gathering places for soul beasts in the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is also the limit of the Heaven Dou Empire's administrative power, because further north lies the far north, a forbidden zone for humans.
In the past, only ice-attribute soul masters came to the Frozen Forest to hunt for soul rings. However, at this time, an uninvited guest arrived in the Frozen Forest.
"The quality of the soul beasts in this Frozen Forest is quite good. I didn't expect to encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast before even reaching the core area."
Qing Mu looked at the ice wolf in front of her, which was baring its teeth like a husky, and was somewhat surprised.
Soul beasts of the ten-thousand-year level usually need to live in the core area of many large soul beast forests, but he encountered one in the mixed area. This means that the forest has a relatively abundant supply of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and the core area cannot support so many of them.
Of course, there is another possibility: the land here is relatively barren, so even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have to beg for food in the mixed zone.
"But this is good too, I might be able to raise my level to seventy in this frozen forest!"
