Raising Xiong Da's Age and Strength, Soul Power Level +2

Once Jiang Taichu had an idea, he planned to put it into action.

Before that, however, he had to raise Xiong Da's age and strength to their maximum.

He had now reached an agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Jiang Taichu estimated that in a few more days, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would deliver the first batch of resources.

Once Xiong Da absorbed the resources and reached six thousand years in age and strength, Jiang Taichu would go and face Dugu Bo.

A few days later.

In Jiang Taichu's courtyard.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had already moved in.

Jiang Taichu held several Storage Soul Tools.

They contained the cultivation resources the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had sent him over the past few days.

"These should be about enough for Xiong Da to reach six thousand years in age and strength."

"Next, I just need to get Sister Yanzi to call her grandfather back."

With that thought, Jiang Taichu went to discuss it with Dugu Yan.

"Sister Yanzi, sorry to trouble you, but there's something I'd like to ask."

Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Yan immediately agreed to Jiang Taichu's request.

"Little Taichu, whatever it is, just tell your big sister. As long as I can do it, I guarantee I'll take care of it for you."

"Sister Yanzi, I'd like to meet your grandfather."

Jiang Taichu answered.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. You just want to meet my grandfather."

"Little Taichu, I'll write him a letter later and have him come back from wherever he is."

After saying that, Dugu Yan asked,

"By the way, Little Taichu, why do you suddenly want to meet my grandfather?"

Jiang Taichu didn't hide the answer from Dugu Yan.

"Because I want to make a deal with your grandfather."

Dugu Yan was even more puzzled.

But Jiang Taichu didn't elaborate, and Dugu Yan didn't press him for answers. Doing so would only affect their relationship.

Dugu Yan went to write the letter, then contacted Dugu Bo through a special means of communication.

As for Jiang Taichu, he left his courtyard and headed outside Heaven Dou City to the hill where he often cultivated.

He summoned his Martial Soul, the Myriad Beasts Record, and brought out his second Summoned Beast, Xiong Da.

"Master, are there enemies?"

As soon as Xiong Da appeared, he looked warily around with both eyes, thinking a great battle was about to break out.

"There are no enemies."

"I summoned you this time to raise your age and strength to the same level as Ah Yin's."

Hearing this, the enormous Xiong Da leaped for joy.

"That's great! I can get stronger too!"

Jiang Taichu opened the Storage Soul Tools one by one, and a large quantity of resources appeared before Xiong Da.

There was meat from Soul Beasts of great age, spiritual plants of heaven and earth that had grown for many years...

They were laid out one after another in front of Xiong Da, making his mouth water.

"Go on and devour them to increase your strength."

Jiang Taichu spoke, indicating that Xiong Da could begin devouring and evolving.

Xiong Da nodded and began wolfing everything down.

Under the Myriad Beasts Record's influence, the energy contained in these treasures entered Xiong Da's body perfectly and without loss, and he rapidly absorbed it.

As time passed, Xiong Da's age and strength continued to grow.

Fifteen hundred years, two thousand years... only when he reached six thousand years did the growth stop.

But Xiong Da had not finished eating. The energy contained in the remaining resources was stored directly in his body.

If Jiang Taichu's spiritual power increased in the future, Xiong Da's age and strength would be able to rise in an instant.

And as Xiong Da's increased age and strength fed back into Jiang Taichu, his Soul Power Level rose from level twenty-three to level twenty-five.

"Not even a month has passed since I absorbed my Second Soul Ring, and I'm already halfway through the Soul Grandmaster stage."

"It seems that raising the ages of my Summoned Beasts and having them feed back into me is the true path of cultivation!"

Sensing his Soul Power Level, Jiang Taichu couldn't help exclaiming.

Having increased their strength, Jiang Taichu left the place.

He returned to his courtyard to await Dugu Bo's return to Heaven Dou City.

Time slipped quietly by.

A figure dressed entirely in green appeared in Heaven Dou City. It was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Yanzi urged me to come back this time. I wonder what it's about?

But why has Yanzi moved to a new home? Was the old residence uncomfortable?

With that thought, Dugu Bo headed for the address Dugu Yan had given him.

In Jiang Taichu's courtyard.

Jiang Taichu lay in a reclining chair. Behind him, Ye Lingling was massaging his shoulders; in front of him, Ning Rongrong was massaging his thighs; and beside him, Dugu Yan was serving him tea and water.

What a carefree life.

"Little Taichu, you beat me again today."

"Just you wait. I'll definitely beat you tomorrow."

Behind him, Ye Lingling spoke unwillingly.

Jiang Taichu opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Ye Lingling, then said dismissively,

"Sister Lingling, if you're bad, practice more."

"Out of all of us, you're the worst at mahjong."

"If you want to beat me, you'd better practice for a few more years."

After Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling moved in, Jiang Taichu had introduced mahjong to the Douluo Continent to keep them from getting bored.

Once they started playing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling had all become addicted.

But mahjong was only fun with stakes, which was how the present scene had come about.

Meanwhile.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo followed the address Dugu Yan had given him and found his way to Jiang Taichu's courtyard.

He stood in the air above the courtyard, watching his granddaughter obediently serve tea and water to a young boy.

Dugu Bo, who doted on his granddaughter, instantly felt anger rise from nowhere.

Hmph, Jiang Taichu, was it? How dare you make my granddaughter serve you tea and water? Just wait, I'll give you a good beating!

Dugu Bo thought to himself.

Dugu Bo knew something about Jiang Taichu.

Dugu Yan had written him several letters, all praising the young man.

"Ahem."

Dugu Bo coughed, and with the help of his Soul Power, the sound rang throughout Jiang Taichu's courtyard.

"That's... Senior Poison Douluo!"

Ye Lingling was the first to notice Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa, you're back."

Seeing Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan greeted him with a warm smile.

When Jiang Taichu learned that Dugu Bo had returned, he immediately got up as well.

Having his granddaughter serve him tea and water right in front of Dugu Bo felt like it might earn him a beating.

"Yanzi, Grandpa's back."

Dugu Bo's figure flickered as he descended from the air.

"Greetings, Senior Dugu."

Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong both greeted him.

"You're the young lady from the Ye Family. I know you."

"But the young lady beside you is..."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly in response to Ye Lingling, but he realized he didn't know Ning Rongrong, who stood beside her.

"Senior Dugu, my father is Ning Fengzhi."

Ning Rongrong's words instantly shook Dugu Bo.

This little girl was actually Ning Fengzhi's daughter.

All at once, Ning Rongrong carried much more weight in Dugu Bo's eyes.
