70,000-Year Mental Immunity Skull, Qian Xunji's Generosity (Requesting Follow-Reads, Requesting Recommendation Tickets)

After five thousand-year Whale Rubbers entered his stomach, Gu Han immediately felt a powerful, pure energy circulating through his body, strengthening his internal organs and meridians.

At the same time, Gu Han activated the Nameless Technique, guiding the energy along its predetermined path to form a Greater Circulation within his body before finally entering his Lower Dantian.

The pure energy transformed into attribute-less Soul Power before eventually transitioning into Extreme Cold Soul Power.

The cluster of qi in his Lower Dantian became several degrees more solid, and the Sea of Qi in his lower dantian expanded further as well.

With such an enormous amount of energy, Gu Han could no longer suppress his level. He jumped directly from level 23 to the threshold of level 26 and was about to break through to level 27.

"As expected of Whale Rubber that was around five thousand years old. The energy it contains simply can't compare to ten-year or hundred-year varieties."

Gu Han stood up and sensed the Soul Power within him, then assessed his physical strength. It had nearly more than doubled compared to before.

"Teacher, Junior Brother, I've broken through level 30!!"

A delighted voice rang out beside him. Bibi Dong had likewise finished absorbing the Whale Rubber and sprang up from the ground, joyfully sharing her excitement.

Unlike Gu Han, Bibi Dong possessed exceptional innate talent. After absorbing just two pieces of Whale Rubber, she leaped past level 29 from the peak of level 28 and broke through to level 30 in one go.

Of course, if not for the rule that every ten levels came with a bottleneck, Bibi Dong might have improved even more.

However, this was not a problem. The excess energy would become accumulated reserves and erupt all at once when she broke through.

"Mm, not bad."

Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he placed a hand on Bibi Dong's wrist and sent his Soul Power into her body to examine her condition before smiling.

"Dong Er, your physique can now rival that of a Soul Ancestor. For your Third Soul Ring, perhaps you can try a spirit beast between six and nine thousand years old."

"But to be safe, you should refine the remaining three pieces of Whale Rubber first."

"Yes, Senior Sister. If you refine all this Whale Rubber, the success rate and safety of absorbing a higher-year Spirit Ring will both increase greatly."

Gu Han also spoke from the side. Bibi Dong's talent was extremely high, and she possessed Twin Martial Souls. Her requirements regarding physical constitution were even greater than his, since she still needed to add Spirit Rings to her second Martial Soul.

If her physique did not meet the standard, the upper limit of her second Martial Soul would be much lower as well.

Although Whale Rubber could improve one's physique, it still fell somewhat short compared to Spirit Rings. If Bibi Dong could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for her Fourth Soul Ring, just like Tang San, then the upper limit of Bibi Dong's second Martial Soul would rise to an even greater level than in the original story.

"Mm, I understand."

Bibi Dong nodded obediently, suppressed the joy in her heart, swallowed the remaining Whale Rubber, and sat cross-legged on the ground to refine it.

Looking at Bibi Dong's chubby baby-faced cheeks, Gu Han fell into thought. Come to think of it, did Bibi Dong have enough Spiritual Power to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as her Fourth Soul Ring?

After thinking for a moment, Gu Han said, "Teacher, if Senior Sister absorbs a nine-thousand-year Spirit Ring for her Third Soul Ring, then she might be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year one for her Fourth Soul Ring."

"However, considering the Spiritual Shock of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, I think Senior Sister could target a spiritual-type spirit beast for her Third Soul Ring."

"Or perhaps we could find Senior Sister a spiritual-type Spirit Skull Bone, thereby making sufficient preparations for her to absorb a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring as her Fourth Soul Ring."

Qian Xunji's heart stirred at those words. He nodded thoughtfully. "Not bad. Dong Er's talent is exceptional, and now that she has the help of Whale Rubber, we truly need to make some adjustments to her future path."

"As for a spiritual-type spirit beast, forget it. Once we've hunted Dong Er's Third Soul Ring, I'll retrieve a Spirit Bone from the treasury. If I remember correctly, there's still a seventy-thousand-year Mental Immunity Skull in the treasury."

"That Spirit Bone is too precious. Even I was reluctant to absorb it, so it has remained in the treasury all this time. It seems it must be taken out now."

Qian Xunji recalled the Spirit Bone that had been stored in the treasury for decades. It had been left behind after the previous generation's Elder of Spirit Hall passed away.

Everyone had always respected that Elder, so no one had chosen to grant it to anyone. It had simply remained in storage.

Now, for Bibi Dong's future, Qian Xunji felt it was time to make a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

Although a few Elders and his father might beat him up for it, Qian Xunji was going all out. This was for Spirit Hall's future, after all. He believed his father and the Elders would understand him.

"Teacher is wise."

Upon hearing about the seventy-thousand-year Mental Immunity Skull, Gu Han was stunned. At the same time, he could not help marveling at how truly wealthy Spirit Hall was.

That was a seventy-thousand-year Spirit Bone, and a spiritual-type Skull Bone at that. Even Title Douluos would fight until their heads bled for something like that, yet Qian Xunji was simply taking it out and giving it to Bibi Dong, a mere level-30 Soul Elder.

However, considering Spirit Hall's strength and Bibi Dong's status, Gu Han felt that this was quite normal after all.

Bibi Dong was the Saintess, the Pope's personal disciple, possessed Innate Full Soul Power, and had Twin Martial Souls.

She had talent and background—a proper little rich girl. She was only absorbing a seventy-thousand-year Skull Bone. What was so surprising about that?

Fine, Gu Han admitted that he was jealous.

"Hehe, you don't need to be anxious either, kid. I've heard through the grapevine that Light Feather Douluo has also just obtained a sixty-thousand-year spiritual Skull Bone. Since you're my student, I won't play favorites."

"I'll save that Spirit Bone for you. When you break through level 30, I'll give it to you."

Although Qian Xunji could not see Gu Han's jealousy, he judged others by himself. If it were him, he would naturally be jealous after someone beside him received a seventy-thousand-year Spirit Bone, let alone a young man like Gu Han.

Gu Han was taken aback. Had he made it that obvious?

But he was certain that he had not revealed even the slightest emotion just now. How had Qian Xunji seen through him?

Still, he was delighted inside. Joining Spirit Hall really had been the right choice. Women would only slow down the speed at which he drew his sword, but little rich girls wouldn't.

See? After getting along well with Bibi Dong, he was benefiting from her favor as well.

Gu Han did not hesitate and immediately gave a ninety-degree bow.

"Thank you, Teacher. This student will certainly live up to your expectations, cultivate diligently, and not disgrace you."

From beginning to end, Qian Xunji had been thinking of Bibi Dong. He was willing to take out every good thing he had. He truly raised her as his own daughter.

And he treated Gu Han well too. He was willing to give a Ten Thousand Year spiritual Skull Bone to a student with ordinary talent, which showed that he had indeed done as he said and would not play favorites.

No matter how badly Qian Xunji had been portrayed in the original story, Gu Han would no longer dislike him. After all, Qian Xunji had genuinely treated him well too.

This only strengthened Gu Han's resolve to prevent what would happen later.

However, Qian Xunji's talent seemed to be inferior to that of the Angel Douluos throughout the generations. Perhaps there were Immortal Herbs in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well that could help him.

As for Qian Renxue, there was not even a sign of that child yet. And even if she had been born, her talent would be God Level. She would not need Immortal Herbs at all.
