Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Qing Mu's words made Qin Ming ponder for a moment, and he said, "The trials between life and death can indeed accelerate the progress of Spirit Master, even faster than a top-tier Mimic Training Ground."
Although there is no mechanism for gaining experience through combat, Spirit Master in the Douluo Continent have discovered that those who constantly fight on the brink of life and death cultivate much faster than those who cultivate steadily.
This is one of the reasons why Support Soul Master cultivate slower than Soul Fighting Masters. You can't let Support Soul Master face danger directly; that would not only be a dereliction of duty for the team, but also too dangerous.
"But..."
Suddenly, Qin Ming changed the subject, looking at Qing Mu with a serious expression, and said, "The risks of combat are also very high, especially for someone like you traveling alone. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure, and that's how I've done it before!"
Qing Mu replied without hesitation.
Is this how it's always been done?
Qin Ming was taken aback by Qing Mu's words, but he quickly realized what she meant and couldn't help but admire Qing Mu even more.
At the same time, he seemed to understand why Qing Mu, despite being so young, had reached her current level; it turned out she had already undergone a trial by fire.
Many powerful families and factions have such life-or-death trials, and some even have dedicated training grounds for them.
However, that usually happens after members have reached a certain level and their cultivation has started to grow slowly, in order to motivate them. But Qing Mu started this process ahead of time.
"Since you insist, then I can't say anything more."
Qin Ming said somewhat helplessly, "I can give you all the rights of a team-level student, and you won't need to complete the academy's coursework anymore. But I only have one requirement: you must come back to participate in the All-Continent Elite Tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academy when it begins."
"The Elite Tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academy? Is this the one?"
Qing Mu raised an eyebrow.
There's still over a year until this year's Elite Tournament for the Advanced Soul Master Academy. According to the original story, Tang San will lead the Shrek Academy students on a winning streak and ultimately claim the championship.
However, his appearance has somewhat altered the plot. Dugu Bo has begun to receive his treatment, and it's highly unlikely that Tang San will obtain the Immortal Herb.
Without the blessing of the Immortal Herb, the Shrek Academy students, with their strength, might not even be able to get through the preliminaries, let alone win the championship.
Qin Ming at Qin Ming and said speechlessly, "Of course it's the next one. Although your combat strength is not bad, with your current Soul Power Level, wouldn't it be like you're just throwing your chance if you went to participate a year later?"
"Sure! This condition is not a problem."
Qing Mu suppressed a laugh as she answered that question.
The All-Continent Elite Tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academy is held every five years, so the next one will be six years away.
Six years? By then, his strength will have reached an unknown level. Wouldn't it be unfair for him to participate in a major competition?
Although there are still some instances of bullying nowadays.
Seeing that Qing Mu agreed, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
They, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, had no other choice. Their competitive record in recent years hadn't been very good, and if things continued like this, the Heaven Dou Empire Heaven Dou Royal Academy lose face.
So even though Qing Mu's request was so outrageous, they had no choice but to agree.
After all, judging from Qing Mu's current performance, he will definitely be a formidable opponent in the next All-Continent Elite Tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academy!
After Qing Mu agreed, Qin Ming quickly completed the enrollment procedures for Qing Mu, and Qing Mu was granted the qualification to enter the fourth floor of the Heaven Dou Academy's Library Pavilion.
So Qing Mu invited Ye Lingling to go to the Library Pavilion to read books. Now that they had this qualification, they should make good use of it and absorb as much useful knowledge as possible before leaving.
As for leaving, he had only just begun treating Dugu Bo; he hadn't even obtained the Immortal Herb yet, how could he leave?
A week passed just like that, and Qing Mu thought he would continue living such a peaceful life, when an accident shattered the tranquility.
In the evening, Qing Mu was sitting in a pavilion, studying the "Detailed Explanation of Poison Attribute Spirit Skills" in his hand, when suddenly a breeze blew by, and a figure with long, flowing green hair and wearing a green robe appeared on the stone bench in front of Qing Mu.
"Senior Dugu, are you here to cure the poison?"
Upon seeing the figure before her, Qing Mu closed the book in her hand and asked.
Dugu Bo glanced at the book in Qing Mu's hand and said disdainfully, "You're reading this trash?"
He is the Poison Douluo; who in this world possesses more Poison Attribute Soul Skill than him? Compared to him, what is this so-called "Detailed Explanation of Poison Attribute Spirit Skills" but utter garbage?
Qing Mu smiled faintly, "Of course I can't compare to you, after all, you are the Poison Douluo, but you are still very useful for me."
Qing Mu wasn't very familiar with poison, but since Bulbasaur had mastered Poison Attribute move, he, as its Trainer, naturally needed to follow suit.
Of course, the main focus is still on Grass Attribute moves, since Bulbasaur's Poison is only a secondary type, and its move pool and move power cannot compare with Grass Attribute.
Dugu Bo was quite receptive to Qing Mu's almost flattering words. After nodding slightly, he said to Qing Mu, "Come with me to a place."
"Go somewhere?"
Qing Mu was slightly taken aback by these unexpected words, but then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Qing Mu had already roughly guessed the destination, after all, there was only one place that Dugu Bo valued so much!
"You're quite something, kid. You didn't even ask where you were going," Dugu Bo said, somewhat surprised.
Qing Mu smiled and shook her head, "What's the point of asking? Can a junior refuse?"
"Of course not!" Dugu Bo immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance and both laughed.
Then, Dugu Bo took out an eye mask and handed it to Qing Mu, saying, "Put this on yourself. The place I'm taking you to this time is my secret place."
Qing Mu took the blindfold and tied it on without any hesitation.
Then Qing Mu felt herself being grabbed and moved quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, Qing Mu was finally put down, and Dugu Bo's voice reached her ears.
"We're here. You can take off your blindfold now!"
Qing Mu removed her blindfold and was stunned by the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery before her.
Before Qing Mu appeared an oval-shaped pool of red and white water, and beside the pool grew all sorts of plants, some of which emitted different colored glows, looking quite mystical.
Seeing Qing Mu's somewhat dazed expression, Dugu Bo couldn't help but smile smugly, "This is my Herb Garden. Most of the herbs you're looking for are here!"
