Preparing to Hunt for the Fourth Soul Ring

Su Ming saw this and remained calm, saying directly:

"Don't worry about that; I've already experimented and confirmed it."

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this. We're even now, so hurry up and regulate the toxins in your body."

Dugu Bo didn't say anything more upon hearing this. After all, he hadn't been truly angry to begin with. He observed Su Ming's soul power fluctuations and discovered that he had actually reached level 40.

"Aren't you already level 40? Don't you need me to help you hunt a soul beast? Besides, Yan Yan was level 38 when she consumed her immortal herb. You ate two, so you gained six levels of soul power. Shouldn't Yan Yan gain three levels from eating one?"

"Oh, I'm doing this for your own good. You need to use the Snake Pill Method to concentrate the easily removable toxins into your snake pill as soon as possible. That way, it will take at most two days to finish, and it won't be too late to hunt for your ring then."

Speaking of this, Su Ming felt a twinge of sympathy for Dugu Bo; after all, the backlash from his martial soul's toxins had been torturing him day and night.

"You've been tormented by these toxins for over a decade; don't you want to clear them out as soon as possible?"

"Fine, fine, fine. Then watch over Yan Yan."

With that, Dugu Bo flew toward the place he had previously used to suppress his toxins and went into seclusion to practice the Snake Pill Method.

One day after Dugu Bo entered seclusion, Dugu Yan finished refining the medicinal power and woke up.

As soon as Dugu Yan woke, she rose to stretch her limbs and circulated her soul power, finding that it had risen to level 40.

Her cultivation speed had increased, and just as she was about to share the good news with her grandfather, she looked around and saw no one but Su Ming. Not seeing her grandfather's figure, she asked Su Ming:

"Su Ming, where is my grandfather?"

Su Ming didn't answer, but instead handed the documents on the Soul Core Method and the Snake Pill Method to Dugu Yan. Although puzzled, Dugu Yan took them and began to read.

After a while, Dugu Yan finished reading the materials and understood what Dugu Bo was doing. She then asked Su Ming:

"Su Ming, which one did my grandfather choose?"

Su Ming replied: "The Snake Pill Method. He is currently concentrating the toxins that have accumulated in his body over the years into his snake pill."

"He originally wanted to help you hunt your fourth soul ring before dealing with the toxins in his body."

"However, after my persuasion, he decided to first condense the easily removable toxins into the snake pill. It will take about two days to complete the initial cleanup, and one day has already passed."

Dugu Yan said: "Fine, you continue digging your herbs; I'm going to see my grandfather."

After saying this, Dugu Yan ran toward the place where Dugu Bo was in seclusion.

Su Ming didn't interfere and continued digging for herbs on his own.

A day later, the agreed-upon time arrived. Su Ming didn't see Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan come down to find him for the soul ring hunt, so he knew that Dugu Yan must have started persuading Dugu Bo to finish the condensation first.

Three more days passed, and the two still hadn't come down. Su Ming knew that Dugu Bo must have proceeded with the condensation. As for why Dugu Yan hadn't come down to chat with Su Ming or discuss cultivation issues, Su Ming didn't know.

By now, more than twenty days had passed since Dugu Bo began condensing his snake pill. Su Ming had already dug up all the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines he wanted, and everything he intended to sell or give away was prepared.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower had its essence extracted by the Creation Furnace, and after adding other spiritual medicines and the Creation Qi from the furnace, he refined two Phoenix Nirvana Pills, intending to give them to Wang Sheng and Ma Hongjun.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty had its essence extracted by the Creation Furnace, and with the addition of Creation Qi, it was refined into two pills, each capable of evolving the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures.

He planned to sell them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl was also suitable for gem-type martial souls; he would see what price the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect offered, and if it was high enough, he would refine it into a pill and sell it to them as well.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was also refined by the Creation Furnace with Creation Qi into two pills; one was for Dai Mubai, and the other he kept for himself.

Of course, besides these, he had also refined pills that could allow dragon-type martial souls to evolve. Furthermore, he had lied to Dugu Bo earlier about there only being nine immortal herbs; in a treasure land formed by two God King-level corpses, it was naturally impossible for there to be so few, and there were many others he wouldn't list one by one.

Naturally, Su Ming had also refined some pills that could significantly increase soul power, intending to give them to the Dean and the others.

In addition, he had converted a large amount of Creation Qi through ordinary spiritual medicines. Although the conversion efficiency was low, the quantity was high, totaling over 1,000 chunks. (Ten threads = one strand, ten strands = one strip, ten strips = one chunk, one chunk equals 1,000 threads.)

Su Ming planned to hunt a 10,000-year-old Thunder Hell Vine as his fourth soul ring.

Since the Thunder God, a first-level god, had fallen, Su Ming wanted to use the Creation Furnace to increase the quality of the Thunder God bloodline within the Thunder Hell Vine soul beast while absorbing the soul ring, thereby obtaining the fragments of the Thunder God's divine position remaining in its bloodline.

Su Ming was lying on a lounge chair thinking about the impending acquisition of the Thunder God's divine position. Although it was only a fragment, Su Ming was still delighted, as becoming a god meant eternal life.

Although the Creation Furnace could grant him longevity as long as he had enough Creation Power, one could never have too many divine position fragments.

At this moment, as Su Ming lay on the rocking chair, he had already envisioned the majestic scene of himself after obtaining the Thunder God's divine position. Just then, a "Little Monster" interrupted his fantasy.

Su Ming turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was the now-rejuvenated Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Yo, Old Monster, looking at your restored youthful appearance, you must have finished condensing the snake pill. You really are handsome. With such a handsome face and the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, you won't have to worry about finding a good wife."

"And Sister Yan Yan, what attribute of dragon are you planning to evolve your martial soul into?"

At this time, Dugu Bo had reached level 94 after condensing his snake pill, and he believed that in a few months, he would become a level 95 Super Douluo.

"Go! Go! Go, what are you saying, what are you saying."

"Little Monster, I've already discussed it with Yan Yan. She has chosen to evolve into a true dragon with dual ice and poison attributes. If you were a few years older, I would have set you and Yan Yan up, but unfortunately, Yan Yan already has a boyfriend."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately acted coquettishly toward Dugu Bo.

"Grandfather! Grandfather!"

"Alright, alright, enough! I won't say it anymore."

Hearing about the dual ice and poison attributes, Su Ming pondered for a moment before saying to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan:

"Good. Since she has chosen to evolve into a true dragon with dual ice and poison attributes, I have already decided what soul beast I will hunt for her fourth ring."

"The Cold Poison Scale Dragon Lizard, which lives in the Extreme North Land. With Sister Yan Yan's current physical constitution, absorbing an 8,000-year-old Cold Poison Scale Dragon Lizard will be more than enough."

Dugu Bo heard the suitable Soul Beast Su Ming described and acted decisively; after all, both of their fourth Soul Rings had been delayed for over twenty days.

"Fine, then let's get moving."

With that, Dugu Bo prepared to take them and fly toward the Extreme North Land.

Seeing this, Su Ming hurriedly called for a stop.

"Stop! Old Monster!"

"Use my Martial Soul to fly there, and besides, we need to return to Heaven Dou City first. Since we've been out for over twenty days, I have to report back to the Principal and the others."
