When it came to the most effective methods of tempering the body on Douluo Continent, it had to be those immortal herbs.

Especially the highest-grade Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. They were immortal herbs that truly possessed powerful body-tempering effects. After Tang San consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs in the original story, his Soul Power Level did not increase; the effects were entirely reflected in the strengthening of his body.

It was also after that occasion that Tang San possessed physical strength capable of crossing several major ranks at an early age.

Then, in half a year, he rose continuously from level 34 to level 37, gaining four levels in a row, precisely because his strengthened body made it easier for him to level up.

Among the many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, aside from the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, there was another one with a powerful body-tempering effect.

It was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that Dai Mubai ate. While it could not truly grant someone an indestructible diamond body, its body-tempering effects still far surpassed those of other immortal herbs.

Of course, although the other immortal herbs did not have such strong body-tempering effects, they were still incredibly powerful.

In Mu Ge's view, the strongest cheat on Douluo Continent was those immortal herbs.

If the Shrek Seven Devils had not obtained those immortal herbs and enhanced their talents, then aside from Oscar and Tang San, not a single one of them would have been able to become a god later on.

"I wonder whether Dugu Bo has discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by now!"

"If he hasn't, then I can easily obtain those immortal herbs. If he has already found it, then things will be more troublesome!"

"Fortunately, even if Dugu Bo has found it, it doesn't matter. Compared to Su Yuntao, known as the Blind Douluo, Dugu Bo can also be considered a Blind Douluo. He has treasures right before him yet fails to recognize them, only for them all to benefit someone else in the end. Neither he nor his granddaughter gets even a single immortal herb!"

"So even if Dugu Bo has already discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I still have plenty of time!"

Having thought it through, Mu Ge was no longer in a hurry to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Mainly because Mu Ge felt that Dugu Bo should have discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well long ago by this point.

Because the original story seemed to mention that Dugu Bo had been able to reach the rank of Titled Douluo despite the deadly poison in his body only because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppressed it. Otherwise, Dugu Bo would have died from the poison long ago, let alone become a Titled Douluo.

And as far as Mu Ge knew, Dugu Bo was already a Titled Douluo at this point. Therefore, he had long since claimed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as his own.

So, with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well already having an owner—and that owner being a Titled Douluo—Mu Ge had better not set his sights on those immortal herbs for now if he did not want to die.

Unless Mu Ge was willing to share the immortal herbs and cooperate with Bibi Dong or Spirit Hall. Then there would naturally be no need to care about a mere Poison Douluo.

Unfortunately, Mu Ge did not want to share with anyone.

In any case, there were still more than ten years before Tang San appeared, and before Tang San picked those immortal herbs!

Besides, there was no guarantee Tang San would even appear!

"I'll put the immortal herbs aside for now. The problem of Divine Slaughter's Domain going out of control has to be resolved first!"

"In the original story, Tang San suppressed his killing intent by learning music and noble etiquette, eventually spending a year gradually gaining control over Divine Slaughter's Domain!"

"I have no interest in learning music, but I can focus on studying martial soul knowledge and immerse myself in the ocean of knowledge. The effect should be the same!"

After setting aside the matter of the immortal herbs, Mu Ge also had his own plan for gaining control over Divine Slaughter's Domain.

He could control Divine Slaughter's Domain while studying martial soul knowledge at the same time.

Thus, beginning that day, Mu Ge started cultivating and studying according to a regular schedule.

Every day, he tempered his body once, then soaked in a medicinal bath.

Every day, he ran one life simulation and attempted to develop a body-tempering cultivation method.

For the time being, Mu Ge had no need for other Self-Created Soul Skills. The soul skills he currently possessed were already sufficient.

Then he went to Spirit Hall's library to study martial soul knowledge.

After several days, Mu Ge could clearly feel that Divine Slaughter's Domain, which had originally been on the verge of going out of control, was gradually stabilizing.

The plan worked!

In a quiet corner of Spirit Hall's library, Mu Ge was surrounded by piles of books. Sitting in the middle, he held a book in his hands and read through it.

"There is a limit to the absorption of the First Spirit Ring!"

"So far, the highest recorded age for a First Spirit Ring absorption is 423 years. Every other soul master who absorbed a First Spirit Ring exceeding that age limit has exploded and died!"

"Tsk, tsk. Yu Xiaogang's research on spirit ring age limits really was stolen from Spirit Hall!"

As he flipped through the recorded materials in his hand, Mu Ge's lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

Whether while reading the novel or watching the anime, Mu Ge had always felt that Yu Xiaogang's status on Douluo Continent had been elevated far too highly.

Most importantly, he did not deserve that reputation.

The so-called ten core competencies and those theories Yu Xiaogang came up with were all simple matters—common knowledge in the soul master world, one could say.

Yet Yu Xiaogang had brazenly summarized and organized them, added a few of his own conjectures, and turned them into his own work.

Mu Ge had previously thought that the knowledge Yu Xiaogang possessed had been stolen from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Spirit Hall. Now that he had seen the records in Spirit Hall, it could be considered confirmation of his suspicions.

Mu Ge admitted that Yu Xiaogang was still intelligent. His ability to organize and summarize knowledge, as well as put forward many constructive ideas, was impressive.

But for Yu Xiaogang to claim that knowledge as his own and say that he had researched it himself was somewhat shameless.

"Still, he really was bold to publish that knowledge."

"Things that had originally only been held by sect factions were all revealed by him!"

"Whether he did it in pursuit of fame or truly to spread knowledge, what he did could still be considered great!"

"No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan expelled him. If they hadn't driven him out, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't have been able to answer to everyone. Yu Xiaogang had offended far too many people all at once!"

"Moreover, the major clans handled it very cleverly, ultimately branding what Yu Xiaogang came up with as impractical theories!"

"But only fools would be misled by that. Anyone intelligent would definitely know that many of the things in the Ten Core Competencies Yu Xiaogang published were useful knowledge!"

As Mu Ge flipped through the book in his hands, he thought about Yu Xiaogang.

When it came to spreading knowledge, Mu Ge admitted that what Yu Xiaogang had done was truly great.

But Mu Ge also believed Yu Xiaogang was a hypocrite and a petty man who chased fame and profit.

Many events in the original story made that clear.
