"It's because of your rejection of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul…"
Ye Lingling was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I understand."
The reason Shi Quan knew was thanks to the Spirit Fusion Skill yesterday. When their Soul consciousnesses intertwined, Shi Quan felt Ye Lingling's rejection, even hatred, for her own Martial Spirit from the fleeting images.
Because Shi Quan was dominant, only Shi Quan sensed her, while Ye Lingling did not sense Shi Quan.
But it was precisely this sensation that allowed Shi Quan to understand and feel more for Ye Lingling.
Originally, Shi Quan thought Ye Lingling was simply a cold and aloof person. Through this sensation, Shi Quan personally experienced the loneliness and desolation in Ye Lingling's heart. This feeling was as if she had no attachment to the entire World, burying endless sadness and pain.
It's hard to imagine what Ye Lingling had gone through to have such a shattered feeling, as if she had lost everything.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Lingling asked, seeing Shi Quan's hesitant expression.
"Nothing." Shi Quan paused, then looked at Ye Lingling and said seriously, "I don't know what happened to you, but I want to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, I and the rest of the Heaven Dou Battle Team will be your support."
"Also, your voice is very pleasant, and your smile is very beautiful. You can talk more and smile more in the future."
Shi Quan didn't know why he said these words to Ye Lingling. Was it pity? Or something else.
"Mm." Ye Lingling only hummed softly, without much change in her expression.
Shi Quan sighed slightly. Ye Lingling's situation clearly couldn't be resolved with a few words.
Because Shi Quan didn't know much about Spirit Fusion Skill, to avoid further mistakes, after discussing for a while, they decided to wait until Shi Quan understood more before making specific training arrangements.
For the next period, Shi Quan studied Spirit Fusion Skill related knowledge while perfecting his new ultimate spirit ring theory.
Due to the Spirit Fusion Skill, and with the encouragement of Dugu Yan and others, the relationship between Shi Quan and Ye Lingling became much closer.
…
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Crown Prince's Palace.
"A black bamboo similar to Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"
Xue Qinghe looked at the message from the Three Great Committee Members, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Dugu Bo actually has such a good thing? It can even make Shi Quan's Martial Spirit evolve and his strength increase so much?"
"Your Highness, this bamboo is unheard of, and its efficacy is too exaggerated. Is there any secret hidden within? Should I investigate?"
The one who spoke was Snake Lance Douluo.
"Poison Douluo has devoted his life to poison, so it's not impossible for him to have some special herbs. Elder Snake Lance, please return to Spirit City first and confirm with Elder Chrysanthemum."
Xue Qinghe said unhurriedly, "Elder Chrysanthemum has loved herbs all his life. His understanding of herbs far exceeds ordinary people. Perhaps he knows the origin of the bamboo. As long as we confirm whether this bamboo truly exists and what its specific medicinal effects are, things will become simple."
"That's right." Snake Lance Douluo nodded and continued, "Your Highness, what about Shi Quan? Not to mention his Martial Spirit evolution, his strength has advanced by leaps and bounds to level thirty-one. He is not even eleven years old yet. This speed is almost catching up to Your Highness. He is currently at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not only closely interacting with the little one from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also with people from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If such a Genius is not taken into hand, he will undoubtedly become a major hidden danger in the future."
"Don't worry, this Shi Quan is very clever. He deeply understands the Dao of balancing power. Even when Ning Fengzhi personally invited him and showed him favor, he did not join Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He floats among various forces and also outside of them, clearly unwilling to be bound by any force. Such a person will not be used by the people of Upper Three Sects. As for us, we only need to appear when he needs help."
Xue Qinghe showed an expression as if everything was under his control.
…
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the message in his hand, and a fervent look appeared in his eyes.
"There is such a miraculous Immortal Herb in the World? It can not only evolve a Martial Spirit but also increase strength. Can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Spirit also be promoted in this way?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's voice sounded from the side, "Fengzhi, according to Shi Quan, this Immortal Herb is rarely seen in the human World. I'm afraid it will be hard to find."
"At least this is a direction. Maybe Dugu Bo just happens to have this kind of herb?"
Sword Douluo said, "That Dugu Bo fellow has a strange temper and is difficult to deal with. I'm afraid he won't be easy to handle. Even his own granddaughter doesn't have this Immortal Herb. Even if he has other Immortal Herbs, he definitely wouldn't be willing to take out such a treasure."
"We have to try. If it really exists, as long as there is an Opportunity, any price is worth trying."
The problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has troubled Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for too many years. To solve this problem, the entire Sect has spent countless human and mental efforts. For the entire Sect, no matter how much they pay, it is worth it.
Sword Douluo couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this and said, "I don't know how that Shi Quan kid managed to win the favor of that old fellow. Such a treasure was actually given to him just like that."
"Uncle Sword, weren't you praising him a while ago?" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"I was praising his talent in the Dao of the sword. This kid shouldn't know much about poison. That old fellow Dugu Bo couldn't possibly have taken a liking to him because of his talent in poison, could he?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed a hint of a smile as he said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Rongrong. It's time to go see her. While I'm at it, I can see if I can get some information from Shi Quan. Then we'll naturally know."
…
Five days later.
Shi Quan submitted his organized new ultimate spirit ring theory to the Education Committee.
According to the new ultimate spirit ring theory, a Spirit Master can further refine the new ultimate age limit based on physical fitness, bone strength, and spirit power pressure resistance.
A hundred-year spirit ring can be specified to ten years, a thousand-year spirit ring can be specified to a hundred years, and a ten-thousand-year spirit ring can be specified to a thousand years. For more detailed data, this is not something Shi Quan can do, as it requires a large number of trials and verifications. Shi Quan's theory can only specify a general range. As long as it is rounded down, there will be no problems.
But even so, Shi Quan's theory was amazing enough.
Shi Quan made three copies of the same theory: one for Yu Tianheng, asking him to pass it to his Family; one for Ning Fengzhi, which was a coincidence as Ning Fengzhi came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy on the very day Shi Quan finished organizing the theory.
Ning Fengzhi directly stated his purpose for coming. Shi Quan did not directly explain, but instead motioned for Ning Fengzhi to find Dugu Bo, and stated that he did not understand pharmacology, and that his use of Black Jade Divine Bamboo was due to his second spirit ring, Black Jade Bamboo.
After listening to Shi Quan's explanation, Ning Fengzhi could only shift his target back to Dugu Bo. To show his earnestness, Shi Quan, based on the characteristics of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and his own experience of Martial Spirit evolution after consuming an Immortal Herb, listed several directions of herbs and casually bluffed. Ning Fengzhi immediately left happily with the theory.
Shi Quan is now capable of helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Spirit evolve, but being able to and wanting to are two different things.
The last copy Shi Quan sent to Spirit Hall.
The reason for doing so was, on one hand, to maintain his neutrality, and on the other hand, for his own reputation. It was a pity that after waiting for some time, Shi Quan still did not see the appearance of a second reputation treasure box.
He was not clear about the criteria for judging the reputation treasure box, so Shi Quan could only temporarily shift his goal back to the plunder treasure box.
According to Shi Quan's speculation, the nature of the plunder treasure box should be triggered when seizing the Opportunity of the Son of Destiny, Tang San.
Aside from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Immortal Herb, Tang San had many other Opportunities in the original work.
For example, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the Blue Silver King's innate spirit ring, the Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone, Xiao Wu's sacrifice, and the sacrifices of the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. These should all belong to Tang San's Opportunities.
In other words, if Shi Quan snatched these resources, it might trigger the plunder treasure box again.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire. In the original work, Tang San saved Emperor Xue Ye's life, and coupled with the need to balance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Emperor Xue Ye gave out this national treasure.
With his current strength and status, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was out of the question. As for the sacrifices of Xiao Wu, Sky Azure Bull Python, and Titan Giant Ape, those were matters for the future.
In the near future, the only Opportunities that could trigger a plunder treasure box would be the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the Blue Silver King's innate spirit ring, and the Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone.
The 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone would require waiting for an Opportunity. As for the innate spirit ring, he would first need to obtain the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, devour Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, and at least wait until his spirit power broke through level forty.
And the Eight Spider Lances would have to wait until Tang San went to Shrek Academy.
All of this would have to be planned step by step.
…
Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo listened to the message from Snake Lance Douluo and said with some excitement, "That old poisonous Dugu Bo actually has an Immortal Herb like Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"
"Black Jade Divine Bamboo? What does that have to do with Black Jade Bamboo?" Snake Lance Douluo asked curiously.
"Black Jade Bamboo?" Chrysanthemum Douluo said disdainfully, "Black Jade Bamboo is merely a Spirit Beast with a partial Bloodline of Black Jade Divine Bamboo. How can it compare to Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"
"Then what is Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo thought for a moment and said, "Black Jade Divine Bamboo is an extremely rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, belonging to the Immortal Herb category. Its medicinal power is indeed compatible with plant Martial Spirits. After consumption, it can not only increase strength but also greatly enhance the toughness and rigidity of the Martial Spirit. As for Martial Spirit evolution, I haven't heard of that, but judging from Shi Quan's situation, it should be related to his Martial Spirit mutation. His Martial Spirit itself was Acquired mutated and unstable, so it's possible for it to evolve under the influence of the medicinal power."
"So, Shi Quan's situation is true?"
"It's highly likely. This Immortal Herb is indeed as Shi Quan described it, something that should only exist in Heaven and is rarely heard of in the human World. It's not strange for it to have such miraculous effects…"
