Conception of the Fourth Soul Ring

Flender watched Yu Xiaogang until he nodded, then quickly spread his wings and chased off into the distance.

A few minutes later, he caught the Explosive Flame Boar, which had fallen unconscious once again, and threw it onto the ground.

Yu Xiaogang wore an excited smile; it had been his instruction to let the Explosive Flame Boar go earlier, and now he had received the notification in his mind that the Majesty of the Plague God trial was complete.

Naturally, he had Flender go back and catch it again.

Watching Yu Xiaogang limp toward the wild boar with a sickly smile on his face, Flender couldn't help but push his glasses up frantically, the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.

What on earth has Xiaogang been through all these years?

In the small courtyard next to the broom shop in Suotuo City, Lu Xian, who was practicing his control over the ice element, instantly received several notification sounds.

[Wish Rank D, Executor completion rate: 100%.]
[Reward: 500 days of cultivation, Soul Ring age increased by 150 years.]
[Domain intensity increased by 20%.]
[Wish Rank E, Executor completion rate: 100%.]
[Reward: 200 days of cultivation, Soul Ring age increased by 60 years.]
[Reward: Immunity to All Poisons.]

Ignoring the 200 days of cultivation gained from Yu Xiaogang's talent, Lu Xian grinned from ear to ear.

"This is a massive harvest."

"The major trials that come every ten rounds are truly formidable."

"And setting aside the meager cultivation brought by Yu Xiaogang, the Soul Ring age and Immunity to All Poisons are both incredibly practical rewards."

Deducting most of the rewards and choosing to accept the rest, Lu Xian's cultivation immediately climbed to the level of rank 35.

His first Soul Ring also successfully crossed the hundred-year threshold, transforming into a thousand-year Soul Ring.

At the same time, the body of Immunity to All Poisons was successfully integrated; Lu Xian preferred to call it Poison Immunity. From now on, poison-attribute Spirit Masters would have to take a detour when they saw him.

Of course, excluding someone at the level of Dugu Bo. At this stage, even if Dugu Bo's poison didn't work, he could still slap Lu Xian to death with raw strength.

In a pleasant mood, Lu Xian did not forget his two laborers and quickly distributed the rewards to them.

"Jinx's twentieth trial, Soul Beasts Also Love Cleanliness, has been completed."

"Reward: 100 days of cultivation, all Soul Ring ages increased by 25 years."

"Domain power increased by 5%."

Listening to the notification in his mind, the corners of Tang San's mouth began to rise wildly.

What was the concept of 100 days of cultivation?

After receiving it, his rank 21.5 spirit power surged directly to rank 23.

At the same time, the power of his spirit skills had also increased slightly, and what was even more valuable was that the power of his Bad Luck Domain had also begun to rise.

Not only had the range expanded, but its influence had also increased sharply.

"If I want to reach the pinnacle of the continent, I must continue to work hard to complete the trials!"

It wasn't just Tang San; Yu Xiaogang, who had just finished absorbing his third Soul Ring, also received a reward notification.

"Plague God's tenth trial, Majesty of the Plague God, has been completed."

"Reward: 180 days of cultivation, all Soul Ring ages increased by 8 years."

"Poison attribute immunity increased by 10%."

Having finished absorbing his Soul Ring, Yu Xiaogang successfully broke through to rank 31. With the 180 days of cultivation reward entering his body, he remained at rank 31.

This didn't even count the cultivation Yu Xiaogang had gained from half a year of training after reaching rank 30.

The joy Yu Xiaogang felt upon receiving the reward vanished instantly.

"It seems that relying solely on my own cultivation is not advisable; I can only rely on the trials to continue improving."

"It doesn't matter, there are still 89 trials waiting for me."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang finish absorbing his Soul Ring, Flender walked up to him, looking happy.

"How is it, Xiaogang? How is the power of your spirit skill?"

Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes to check, then decided it would be better to let him see for himself.

He released Luo Sanpao, and two yellow and one purple Soul Ring rose in sequence.

Stuffing two carrots into Sanpao's mouth, Yu Xiaogang immediately used his third spirit skill.

"Farts like flames, Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas, Luo Sanpao!"

Sanpao turned its back to the trees dozens of meters away, and its entire body began to turn fiery red.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by a muffled explosion, a mass of crimson mist instantly engulfed the tree.

Slowly, the trunk and branches began to smolder.

The fire spread for half an hour before it finally managed to char the wood.

"This power..."

Flender really wanted to say how pathetic the power was, but noticing his old brother's sour expression, he swallowed the words back down.

Yu Xiaogang's mood was indeed not very good; this Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas sounded impressive, but its power was truly underwhelming.

Although part of the reason was that he had already exhausted his energy, even at its peak, this soul skill was riddled with flaws.

The long wind-up time before release, insufficient power, and massive energy consumption were all present.

But soon, Yu Xiaogang dispelled the gloom in his heart.

I have the inheritance of the Plague God, what do I have to fear?

Once he completed the trials and his soul ring age and cultivation increased, would he still need to worry about his soul skills not becoming stronger?

What's more, he now possessed the trait of ten percent immunity to poison; the path to the pinnacle was already in sight.

Overall, the master and disciple were quite satisfied with this trip.

The three immediately decided to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, where they had lingered for half a month.

"Xiaogang, don't forget to have Tang San enroll at Shrek after he graduates."

"Rest assured, I will."

Tang San, seeing the anticipation in Flender's eyes, also nodded in affirmation.

Having a Soul Saint powerhouse vouch for him was better than being a lone wolf.

After parting ways at the Soul Hunting Town, Flender flew off in the direction of Suotuo City.

As for the master and disciple, they took a rented carriage to return to Nuoding City.

Several days later, the gates of Nuoding City appeared before them; having been gone for nearly a month, the two felt as if a lifetime had passed.

"Nuoding City, your emperor has returned!"

In the Lu Family Courtyard in Suotuo City.

A broom floated before Lu Xian.

After his soul ring evolved into a thousand-year ring, not only had the broom's flight speed become swifter, but its ability to control the wind had also grown significantly more formidable.

The bristles of the broom had even begun to harden into steel.

Not only that, but the bristles could actually scatter like petals, attacking enemies like sharp arrows or blades.

This made Lu Xian sigh in wonder:

"A thousand-year soul ring, truly terrifying!"

Gangzi: "It's just alright!"

In the future, Lu Xian could not only use the broom for travel but also transform into a bomber-like existence.

The branches of the broom possessed infinite regenerative capabilities, which meant his ammunition would be inexhaustible.

Enemies who could not fly posed no threat to him anymore.

Next was the trait of Immunity to All Poisons; originally, he had been pondering how to get his hands on the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Now, there was quite a bit of room for maneuvering.

However, Lu Xian was not in a hurry to retrieve those immortal herbs; after all, Dugu Bo guarded the treasure land without knowing its true value, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well wasn't going anywhere.

It was better to raise his strength first.

Regarding his upcoming fourth soul ring, he already had a few ideas.

Since his martial soul, the Silver Light Orb, could transform an object into a soul skill before reaching level ten, could he try binding a living creature?

For instance, a cat, a dog, a snake, or a rat.

These small animals might not have much combat power initially, but as the soul ring of the bound target leveled up, who knew how ridiculously strong they could become?

His broom was the best example of this.

Moved by the thought, Lu Xian secretly made up his mind that he must choose a living creature to experiment with for his fourth soul ring.

If that didn't work, he would then consider other useful objects.

Since ice could be bound, couldn't fire, earth, wind, and lightning be bound as well?

Walking the path of an elementalist would also be a fine choice.
