"The corpse of this Soul Beast can actually condense treasures?"
Ellex's tone was filled with deep curiosity.
Su Yu heard Elder Yi's voice and exclaimed with delight, "Elder Yi, is something really condensing?"
"Indeed, there's an energy gathering inside this Soul Beast, even drawing in Primordial Energy between heaven and earth, but unfortunately, it failed to succeed."
Hearing this, Su Yu felt a bit disappointed.
"Elder Yi, this is a Soul Bone, transformed after the Soul Beast's death. After absorbing it with a Soul Ring, it can be more effective.
This Sword Grass might have met the conditions, but not fully.
Elder Yi, since you can observe up to this point, can you intervene to complete the Soul Bone's condensation?"
Hearing Su Yu's explanation, combined with his own observations, Ellex had an understanding of the Soul Bone.
"The condensation of this Soul Bone likely involves the rules of this plane, beyond my capability."
Ellex's words gave Su Yu a new understanding of the Soul Bone. The tearing sensation on his Spiritual Power pulled him back to reality, unable to continue pondering.
"However, though the process couldn't continue, the energy in the corpse of this Sword Grass has reached a peculiar state, perhaps I can attempt a refinement."
In Ellex's mind, there was some knowledge of Artifact Refining.
This Soul Bone could not be condensed.
But the energy in this semi-condensed disappearing light cluster was good, maybe he could use this energy to craft a weapon.
"Since it's Sword Grass, it should be forged into a sword."
Coincidentally, this kid also needs such a sword to correct his cultivation path.
...
"What happened?"
The corpse of the Sword Grass suddenly underwent a mutation, with a fluctuation of Soul Power emanating.
"Could it be a Soul Bone?" Xiao Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.
Mirror Hongchen's Spiritual Power spread over, but he couldn't find the Soul Bone's existence.
"It probably isn't a Soul Bone."
Though he couldn't understand what happened, it was undoubtedly related to Su Yu, who was absorbing a Soul Ring.
A light cluster burst out from the corpse of the Sword Grass.
The corpse transformed into pure Soul Power, merging into the light cluster.
The light cluster gradually formed into the shape of a sword.
Before it could fully materialize, the light cluster turned into a stream of light, merging into Su Yu, who was absorbing a Soul Ring, before Mirror Hongchen and the others could react.
"Not good!"
Mirror Hongchen was too late to react, greatly shocked.
However, as the light cluster merged into Su Yu, it seemingly didn't cause any unexpected events for him, bringing relief to Mirror Hongchen.
To find out exactly what happened, they had to wait until Su Yu finished his absorption to inquire further.
...
As the light cluster merged in, Su Yu felt its presence.
It fused with the Soul Power from the Soul Ring that Su Yu was refining.
Time passed.
Su Yu's characteristic of absorbing a Soul Ring was that it took a long time.
Last time in the Xingdou Great Forest, under the threat of constant danger, Su Yu had to abandon extending the absorption duration.
This time, with Mirror Hongchen guarding him, Su Yu felt at ease.
While Su Yu was at ease, someone else felt uneasy.
"It's been three days."
Xiao Hongchen's tone carried worry and confusion.
Su Yu's absorption of the Soul Ring was stable by the end of the first day.
Even on the first day, Su Yu's reaction gave an unreal feeling.
"Clearly, all the intelligence says that over-limit absorption is quite painful."
But even during the most painful moments, Su Yu didn't seem as terrifying as described.
Xiao Hongchen could only assume the intelligence descriptions were inaccurate.
In contrast, Mirror Hongchen was very calm.
Su Yu's situation remained steady, with both Soul Power and Spiritual Power fluctuations becoming increasingly calm.
"With a fifteen-thousand-year-old Soul Ring, breaking through should lead to more than just Level 41 Soul Power."
Moreover, Su Yu seemed to be using this process to temper his Spiritual Power. During this, Mirror Hongchen could feel Su Yu's Spiritual Power becoming increasingly refined.
Xiao Hongchen didn't notice as meticulously.
After another three hours.
The black Soul Ring outside Su Yu's body flickered, then fused into Su Yu.
With the Soul Ring fully absorbed, Su Yu noticed the difference.
The energy from the light cluster which had merged into him was refined along with the Soul Power from the Soul Ring but accumulated within Su Yu.
The moment the Soul Ring was fully absorbed, this energy merged into the Soul Ring.
Opening his eyes, Su Yu saw Xiao Hongchen's face full of curiosity.
"You finally finished absorbing it."
...
Listening to Xiao Hongchen's account, Su Yu learned about the changes in the Sword Grass's corpse at that time.
When Elder Yi acted, he was already prepared.
"I don't know either, but the Sword Grass seems to have completely merged into my Soul Ring."
Su Yu summoned his Martial Soul.
The Soul Rings rose one by one.
One yellow, two purple, and one black.
Within the last black Soul Ring, there seemed to be a flow of sword light.
Mirror Hongchen also noticed something different about this Soul Ring.
A flash of sword light, a ray of sword light within the black Soul Ring seemed to separate from the Soul Ring.
A sword materialized in front of Su Yu.
"The corpse of the Sword Grass completely integrated into your Fourth Soul Ring and became a sword?" Mirror Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.
Su Yu nodded, waving the sword a few times.
At the time, he had discussed with Elder Yi about whether the energy cluster could be integrated into his Martial Soul or even his body.
However, Elder Yi's words awakened him.
"Although I'm not very familiar with the Martial Soul System, I feel your path is very correct.
Your Blue Silver Grass's most outstanding ability is its tenacious Life Force.
Exploring this aspect and developing in this direction is the most correct path.
This time, the fusion of the Sword Grass is also a key point in your Martial Soul's transformation.
Your choice was correct; with enough Life Force, you need the toughness of the Sword Grass to condense and further enhance your Life Attribute.
This can better match one of Blue Silver Grass's characteristics, tenacity.
However, the Sword Grass and your Blue Silver Grass also have conflicts.
The toughness of the Sword Grass is to fight all difficulties with Life Force. The Blue Silver Grass strives to absorb Life at all costs.
The Sword Grass has excessive sharpness, the Blue Silver Grass focuses on survival.
Absorbing the Soul Ring of the Sword Grass will inevitably affect the Blue Silver Grass.
At this time, a carrier is needed to bear this part of the influence for your Blue Silver Grass."
Blue Silver Grass needs to grow robustly.
No need for Attack Power, Sword Qi, or the intention to cut down all enemies.
If it exists, it should be a means of protection.
...
"Test your Soul Power."
Mirror Hongchen felt there was something different about Su Yu after his breakthrough, with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul no longer exuding a surging Life Force, but rather an introverted feeling, and suggested Su Yu test his Soul Power.
Su Yu took the Soul Power tester handed over by Mirror Hongchen and inputted his Soul Power.
"Level 41?"
Seeing the number appear above, Xiao Hongchen was astonished.
A fifteen-thousand-year-old Soul Ring, is this all?
