Ellex once told him that the understanding and perception of Soul Skills must have a carrier, and Soul Rings are the best storage place for the perception of Soul Skills.
And the perception that Soul Rings can store also depends on their years. Therefore, it's very necessary to enhance the years of Soul Rings.
Su Yu currently knows three methods to enhance the Soul Ring years: one is Immortal Spirit Qi, nurturing Spiritual essence; another is devouring foreign Spiritual essence; lastly, it's the Power of Faith.
The second method is harmful to the heavens, not something Su Yu would try, but the first and third methods are ones he can indeed achieve.
However, acquiring the Power of Faith still takes time, and for now, he can only attempt to nurture the Soul Ring with Immortal Spirit Qi at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to enhance its years.
"Fortunately, in the past, I inadvertently took on quite a few projects."
These are all achievements that can harvest faith.
...
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
The Blue Silver Emperor itself is of Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation, making the gathering of Spiritual essence arduous, but the efficiency of gathering to enhance the Spiritual essence of Su Yu's first two Soul Rings is remarkably high.
With his efficiency, he can provide Su Yu's two Soul Rings with a thousand years of Cultivation each month.
And Su Yu himself, by activating the "Spirit" rune, achieves almost the same effect without affecting Soul Power cultivation and Qi Blood Body Refining.
In three months, the one person and one plant together upgraded the first two Soul Rings to Ten Thousand Years.
Four black, one red, one orange, one mixed color.
The seven Soul Ring combination is even more terrifying than Su Yu's Twin Martial Souls teacher.
Even the same Spiritual essence does not result in fixed enhancements to the years.
The same amount might instantly transform a ten-year Soul Ring into a Centennial Soul Ring. However, on the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring, which is of Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation, it might not even enhance by ten years.
Likewise, now that Su Yu has Soul Rings all of at least Ten Thousand Years, trying to further enhance their years is not realistic at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
It can't enhance all four Soul Rings by Ten Thousand Years within a year, to have substantial enhancement, it would take at least ten years.
This is something Su Yu cannot wait for.
...
"Everyone, I'm about to leave."
Many Immortal Grasses expressed their reluctance toward Su Yu.
It's unclear whether they were reluctant about Su Yu himself or about his Ultimate Life.
"Before leaving, I might need to take some things."
Su Yu wouldn't leave things he needs temporarily here.
If someone raids the place after he leaves, he'd regret leaving his items here.
"I want to take away the Desperate Autumn Dew."
"That's no problem," Youyou and the others expressed, if Su Yu needs trials, he can certainly partake in this Immortal Grade item freely.
"Besides, I want to discuss something with you all."
Su Yu looked at the several Immortal Grasses, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Speak, Su Yu, as long as it's not too excessive, we'll agree to your request," Youyou replied.
"You've seen my Soul Spirit Technique, are you interested in witnessing the outside world with some of my friends?" Su Yu presented his request.
"Alright, Su Yu, we consider you a good friend, yet you want our bodies!"
Youyou responded angrily.
"Don't worry, Youyou, I'm not referring to you, but them," Su Yu pointed at some Immortal Grasses, "Their compatibility with some of my partners is optimal."
Su Yu chose Immortal Grasses like Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Ninth Grade Dragon Ginseng, Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, and Miraculous Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum.
Youyou's swaying body suddenly stiffened.
Emotions of sadness and defiance surged within her heart.
Su Yu's talent was visible, they had witnessed it throughout their four-month interaction with Su Yu.
It can be said he's almost certain to achieve Divinity.
Who present wouldn't desire to directly achieve Soul Beast status with a God?
Though they are Immortal Grasses, plant-type Soul Beasts are notoriously fragile, and they're not inclined towards offensive capabilities.
The Ten Thousand Year Celestial Tribulation terrifies them, not to mention crossing nine times and facing the insurmountable tenth tribulation.
Yet, Su Yu initially stated he didn't favor the Immortal Grasses here due to mismatch and low Cultivation.
Actually, as long as Su Yu requested, these Immortal Grasses would gladly follow him.
But if it were a different person, it'd be another story.
"Everyone, I won't force you. Rest assured that my few friends have talent not inferior; if I achieve Divinity, so shall they, even if it's just as a Second-level God, they're bound to achieve Divinity nonetheless.
Especially my teacher, Kong Deming, who possesses Twin Martial Souls, with the Second Martial Soul having absorbed four black and two red six Soul Rings, with your Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's assistance, how do you think the odds for my teacher?"
Su Yu looked towards Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Among the Immortal Grasses he pointed out, the most crucial to Su Yu was the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower because it's linked to Kong Deming.
Compared to Hongchen Trio, Su Yu undeniably has more feelings for Kong Deming.
Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower remained silent for a while, its vivid comb gently moving up and down.
"I want to observe your teacher first, and if he doesn't meet my requirements, even if you forcibly kill me later, I won't willingly become his Soul Spirit."
Su Yu nodded, indicating no issue.
Kong Deming's talent is exceptional, and with the aid of this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, his subsequent two major Soul Rings will no longer have issues.
He then looked at the remaining Immortal Grasses.
"I'm not going."
The Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was quite reserved, during these four months of interaction, Su Yu seldom interacted with it.
It had an utterly introverted nature and wasn't interested in the outside world.
"Regarding you, Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, can I have a portion of your fruit?"
Initially, the request to the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was just to make up the numbers.
If he could bring it back, it would become Xiao Hongchen's Soul Spirit, if not he would take some fruit for Mirror Hongchen.
Mirror Hongchen already absorbed nine Soul Rings, it's certainly impossible to gain this Soul Spirit's assistant.
Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was predicted by Su Yu to refuse.
To ask for more before requesting less, making it impossible for refusal.
After all, you did absorb that much of my Ultimate Life is undeniable.
Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was just introverted, not a rogue, and didn't refuse Su Yu's request. It took a fruit with a phantom small dragon hovering and handed it to Su Yu.
"I'll go with you."
Miraculous Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum didn't refuse.
Ninth Grade Dragon Ginseng is divided into ice and fire types but is one entity, considered mystical.
Its voice was neutral, choosing a similar stance to Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
"I want to observe her qualifications first."
Su Yu nodded, did not refuse.
Although Meng Hongchen's qualifications are high, restricted by the Martial Soul's toxicity, future cultivation would surely be hindered, with toxin accumulation possibly forever trapping her at Soul Saint.
Ninth Grade Dragon Ginseng acquired from the bloodline of Ice and Fire Dragon King born at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is an Immortal Grade item, not only possessing attributes for aptitude improvement but being especially effective for Beast Martial Soul evolution.
With Ninth Grade Dragon Ginseng's assistance, Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul ice and fire attribute might successfully transform, potentially resolving her Martial Soul's toxicity issue.
Su Yu will use the Desperate Autumn Dew himself.
He consumed it immediately after picking it and sat cross-legged to refine it.
The third eye on his forehead opened, merging the green life energy with the Desperate Autumn Dew's power, tempering Su Yu's eyes.
Su Yu felt a refreshing sensation in his eyes, and his mind became exceptionally clear.
The runes "Qing" and "Ming" became increasingly refined.
Refining the Desperate Autumn Dew took merely three hours.
"Su Yu, I want to go with you!"
The voice of Damask Tulip was filled with urgency.
Besides Damask Tulip, several other Immortal Grasses that Su Yu hadn't inquired about also expressed similar intentions.
"You actually possess the Gold of the Living!"
"Su Yu, are you sure you don't lack any Soul Spirits?"
"Since you can enhance Soul Ring years, why not take me in!"
"..."
Su Yu didn't anticipate such immense allure from the Gold of the Living.
Of course, when combined with his Ultimate Life and demonstrated talent, things seemed to make sense again.
