Just then.
Dugu Bo stepped forward, looking at Lin Chen and Dugu Yan, and said with an excited face:
"Yan Yan, since you've already reached level thirty, Grandpa will take you to obtain your third spirit ring."
"Kid Lin Chen, you come along too. You just consumed a pill refined from three Immortal Herbs, so you must have reached a bottleneck as well. This old man will help you obtain a spirit ring."
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan glanced at Lin Chen, her eyes seemingly asking if he still wanted to go with her to obtain a spirit ring.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head at Dugu Yan, refusing to go obtain a spirit ring.
Lin Chen already had his own ideas regarding his spirit rings, so it was naturally impossible for him to follow Dugu Bo to get one.
In Lin Chen's view, this Sunset Forest definitely didn't have any dragon-type Spirit Beasts at the True Dragon level or above.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's emerald eyes were full of confusion, puzzled by Lin Chen's behavior.
"Kid Lin Chen, you really are strange. Don't you want to obtain a spirit ring to rank up?"
"This old man is a Titled Douluo. No matter what kind of spirit ring you want, I can get it for you."
Dugu Bo patted his chest, giving Lin Chen his guarantee.
For a Spirit Beast of several hundred years, even the legendary super Spirit Beast, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Dugu Bo was confident he could slap it to death with a single palm.
"Senior Dugu, I have my own arrangements for my spirit rings. For this trip, you should just go with Sister Yan Yan."
"As for me, I'll stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and refine a pill to resolve your toxin backlash first."
Lin Chen shook his head again, politely declining Dugu Bo's help.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo wanted to say more.
Dugu Yan seemed to have thought of something and said to her grandfather, Dugu Bo:
"Grandpa, since Lin Chen has his own unique ideas, why are you bothering him?"
"You should take your granddaughter to get a spirit ring first. I feel like I can absorb two spirit rings in a row this time."
Dugu Yan already had a guess as to why Lin Chen wasn't going; it was likely the rewards from the diary system that allowed him to skip obtaining a spirit ring for now.
Since Lin Chen had a better option, there was no need to obtain a real Spirit Beast spirit ring.
"Alright, Yan Yan. But you really have found yourself a little husband and forgotten your grandfather."
Seeing Dugu Yan being so protective, Dugu Bo couldn't help but see a reflection of himself in her and sighed softly.
Dugu Yan's personality was exactly like his—equally balanced between good and evil, and equally protective of her own.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan's face flushed with a faint blush. She stomped her foot, her beautiful eyes unconsciously glancing in Lin Chen's direction.
Then, she looked back at her grandfather and said coquettishly:
"Grandpa, you're annoying! What 'little husband'? What are you talking about?"
Although she did have feelings for Lin Chen, Grandpa, you shouldn't expose your granddaughter like that to her face. How is she supposed to interact naturally with Lin Chen in the future?
Seeing Dugu Yan act like such a young maiden, Dugu Bo knew his guess was correct.
He then laughed heartily, his gaze becoming increasingly gossipy.
But Dugu Bo didn't tease his granddaughter further; otherwise, Dugu Yan might start pulling his beard in a moment.
"Alright, Yan Yan, Grandpa will take you to get your spirit ring now."
With that, Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan and left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, searching for a suitable Spirit Beast for her in the Sunset Forest.
After Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan left, Lin Chen sat cross-legged by the pool of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. With a thought, a black diary appeared in his hand.
Today was the end of the second week. After finishing today's diary entry, he would receive the weekly reward from the diary system.
"Dear System, you absolutely must give me a spirit ring reward."
Lin Chen prayed inwardly, pleading with the diary system in his mind.
Lin Chen's evaluation of his diary system was the same as that of the women in the Chat Group.
Wise, very wise—not something those other idiot systems could compare to.
Other systems would occasionally make things difficult for their Hosts, but his diary system was different; it was like a considerate, charming wife, making it very comfortable for Lin Chen to use.
If there were system reviews, Lin Chen would definitely give his diary system a five-star rating.
[Heaven rewards those who work hard. After planning for many days, I, Lin Chen, have finally obtained the Immortal Herb opportunities in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.]
[In the original work, Tang San consumed the Immortal Herbs raw, so his body developed drug resistance, and the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs remained in his body, unrefined for a long time.]
[Fortunately, the system previously rewarded me with the Pill Refining Technique, allowing me to refine the Immortal Herbs into pills, thereby absorbing the medicinal power to a greater extent.]
[I just used three Immortal Herbs as the main ingredients, supplemented by dozens of thousand-year spirit herbs, to refine the primal chaos holy dragon pill.]
[The medicinal power of the primal chaos holy dragon pill is truly terrifying. My Golden Dragon was originally just a sub-dragon, but after refining the primal chaos holy dragon pill, its dragon bloodline leaped to the level of a Second Generation Dragon King, successfully evolving into the Golden Holy Dragon King.]
[With a bloodline of this level, my Spirit should be considered the strongest among super Spirits, only slightly inferior to the legendary God-level Spirits.]
[If I remember correctly, on the Douluo Continent, the only dragon-type Spirit Beast with the bloodline of a Second Generation Dragon King seems to be Di Tian, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, a Great Beast with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation.]
[Of course, the concept of Great Beasts doesn't exist in this era yet. In the impression of the continent's Spirit Masters, the most powerful Spirit Beasts are only Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts. Only powerful Spirit Masters on the ocean know of and have seen Spirit Beasts with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation.]
[In this era, the only Great Beast active in the eyes of Spirit Masters is that Deep Sea Demon Whale King on the ocean. Its cultivation has reached a staggering million years; one could say it's only one step away from becoming a deity.]
[On the continent, there are also many powerful Great Beasts. The two current overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, are merely two Spirit Beasts guarding the gate.]
[Not just the Star Dou Great Forest, there are also terrifying Great Beasts hidden deep within the Extreme North Land.]
[In this era, except for the top-tier combat power, the combat power at other levels is clearly weaker than that of the Spirit Beast side.]
[After all, the super Douluos of this era are far too overpowered. The three Limit Douluos ten thousand years later can't compare to the super Douluos of this era. Only the Limit Douluos twenty thousand years later will have a chance to surpass the peak experts of this era.]
[Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi—these three super Douluos would be considered the strongest existences in any era.]
[Setting aside Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi for a moment, these two can briefly borrow divine power, which is practically a dimensional strike against Spirit Masters.]
[As for Tang Chen, he's even more monstrous. With a Clear Sky Hammer and the Ring Explosion divine technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, the peak power he erupts with can slay a deity. This is no different from using cheats.]
