Fivefold Effect

Qian Daoliu could tell that something was wrong with Bibi Dong's current state.

It was not that the hatred hidden in her heart or her disguise had been exposed, but rather Bibi Dong's mental state.

Qian Daoliu realized that Bibi Dong was currently in a state where her killing intent could lose control at any moment.

"What's wrong with Mom?"

"Grandpa, did something happen to Mom?"

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue, who was hugging Bibi Dong, quickly turned around to look at him and anxiously pressed for an answer.

After asking, she turned back again and worriedly looked up at Bibi Dong. Her arms remained tightly wrapped around Bibi Dong's legs.

Bibi Dong stroked Qian Renxue's head before looking at Qian Daoliu and saying, "Yes, it's Divine Slaughter's Domain. The Divine Slaughter's Domain obtained from Slaughter City is very unusual. On top of that, I spent two years training in a place like Slaughter City, so I have some difficulty controlling the killing intent on me."

"But it shouldn't be a major problem. I'll enter seclusion for a while and fully master Divine Slaughter's Domain!"

Seeing that Qian Daoliu had actually noticed her condition, Bibi Dong was not surprised. After all, the man before her was one of the strongest Limit Douluo in the world. She promptly answered him.

On the way back, both she and Mu Ge had noticed the issue with Divine Slaughter's Domain.

After leaving, whenever they encountered other people, killing intent would always uncontrollably erupt from their bodies.

Bibi Dong chose to resolve the problem through seclusion.

It would also let her avoid contact with Qian Xunji and Qian Renxue once again.

As for Mu Ge, he was currently not strong enough to be of any help to her. Nor did she intend to have him do anything. Mu Ge only needed to focus on cultivating and growing stronger.

She would provide all the resources needed for cultivation.

"So it's Divine Slaughter's Domain. Then you really do need to learn to control it as soon as possible. Wait a few days—spend a few days with Xue Er first, then enter seclusion!"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's explanation, Qian Daoliu came to a sudden realization. He knew about Divine Slaughter's Domain.

"Alright, I will, Great Enshrinement."

Though unwilling, Bibi Dong still smiled and agreed.

"Saintess Token—what a wonderful thing!"

"With this, I won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future, and I'll be able to enter Spirit Hall's library freely too!"

"As expected of Bibi Dong. She knows how hard I've worked over the past two years, so she gave me a reward!"

Mu Ge held a token in his hand, praising it extravagantly.

If Bibi Dong knew what Mu Ge was muttering about right now, she would definitely fly into a rage. She would no longer want to make use of him and would simply kill him instead.

Hard work? Who wanted the efforts of a beast like you?!

Of course, Mu Ge knew Bibi Dong was not around. Otherwise, he would not have dared to say such things.

"Seclusion... Besides avoiding me, she's also avoiding Qian Xunji and Qian Renxue, isn't she?"

Mu Ge had also guessed Bibi Dong's reasons for choosing seclusion.

But Mu Ge did not care. As long as he had achieved his goal of entering Spirit Hall, that was enough.

With the Saintess Token Bibi Dong had given him, he could obtain all the cultivation resources he needed to the greatest extent possible.

Soul Masters did not merely cultivate Soul Power—they also needed to train their bodies.

However, Soul Masters in the Douluo world had no cultivation methods for training the body. At most, they had some crude methods of physical exercise.

For example, the weighted runs while carrying stones that Yu Xiaogang came up with in the original story were merely basic ways to train the body.

Even during the divine trials on Sea God Island, one of the trials involved tying them to Silver Pillars in the Sea of Tides and having them endure the impact of the ocean tides, thereby achieving the effect of physical training.

This was how Soul Masters in the Douluo world trained their bodies: all through external forces, without any direct cultivation methods.

Another method was to temper the body through medicinal baths. This method was relatively fast, but it still had to be combined with basic exercise, pushing the body to the point of extreme exhaustion to maximize the absorption of the medicinal bath.

Naturally, this was also the most expensive method in terms of money and resources!

"Unfortunately, I still haven't created a direct body-tempering cultivation method. Otherwise, things would be much easier!"

Thinking about this world's methods of body training, Mu Ge sighed helplessly. No matter how much he despised them, he still had to use such methods to train his body.

Only when his physical condition kept up could his Soul Power cultivation progress faster.

If his physical condition failed to meet the requirements, his Soul Power could even stagnate!

Mu Ge had only learned this after coming to this world. Cultivating Soul Power was not easy either.

Moreover, not every Soul Master knew this principle. It was only grasped by certain top sects and major powers.

Most Soul Masters only knew to passively improve their physical condition by absorbing soul rings.

"Simulator, run a life simulation, focusing on developing a body-tempering cultivation method!"

With that thought, Mu Ge simply summoned his martial soul and began another life simulation.

Ever since leaving Slaughter City, he had not conducted a life simulation even once!

"I wonder what will be different about simulating a life in the outside world!"

As Mu Ge pondered curiously, the simulator emerged from his hand.

At the same time, five soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—appeared as well. Mu Ge's soul ring configuration was also the optimal one.

This was also Mu Ge's first time seeing his own soul rings.

Crack—crack—

The familiar sound of the simulator turning rang out once more. Unlike before, however, not only did the simulator spin, but the soul rings gathered around it also rotated along with it.

Three soul rings rotated clockwise, while the other two rotated counterclockwise, interweaving with one another.

Day 1: You began attempting to develop a cultivation technique capable of tempering the body. You gained nothing!

Day 2: You continued your attempts, but still gained nothing!

Day 2...

Day 234: You kept trying, but your efforts caused your soul power to go out of control!

"Stop!"

The moment Mu Ge discovered that his simulated self had suffered a backlash, he skillfully stopped the life simulation.

It was another failure, but Mu Ge did not mind. He had failed countless times before while developing the Soul Power Cultivation Method.

"So this is the effect of my soul rings. When conducting a life simulation, soul power consumption is only one-fifth of what it used to be. In other words, I can simulate five times as long!"

At the same time, Mu Ge finally understood the effects of his soul rings.

Before awakening the memories of his past life, Mu Ge had only known that the soul skills granted by his soul rings increased the success rate of simulations. He had not known exactly how that manifested, nor had he bothered to find out.

But the current Mu Ge was different. He wanted to have everything under his control, so naturally, he needed to understand it clearly.

"A fivefold reduction in consumption could also be called a fivefold increase in the success rate. But even so, it still looks like I won't be able to develop a body-tempering cultivation technique anytime soon!"

"For now, the best method is still physical training combined with medicinal baths!"

"Actually, there's an even more effective method: finding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

Once Mu Ge realized that he could not develop a body-tempering cultivation technique in the short term, he immediately thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
