Those Minor Difficulties Are Merely a Little Frost!

Nuoding City is located at the intersection of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire. If one wishes to travel to the Star Dou Great Forest, passing through Martial Soul City is inevitable.

For Jiang Li and Tang San, this is a perilous prospect.

A genius who reached the rank of Soul Saint at a young age, accompanied by a boy with Innate Full Soul Power—if this combination were discovered by that lunatic in Martial Soul City, the other party would surely exhaust every means to keep them both trapped within the city.

Furthermore, given that lunatic's current attitude toward the Angel Clan, discovering the master and disciple would inevitably lead to the familiar routine of being invited in, beheaded, or forced into servitude.

Since the variety of soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest near Nuoding City is too sparse, and Tang San has become his disciple and is quite filial, Jiang Li feels that he, as a teacher, must fulfill his responsibilities properly.

Therefore, the best choice for this soul hunt is the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City.

As the second-largest soul hunting forest on the Douluo Continent, it boasts a vast array of soul beast species.

Moreover, he can take this opportunity to see if he can locate the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

With Tang San, the human encyclopedia of medicinal herbs, by his side, he might be able to further improve his cultivation if they find suitable immortal herbs.

The next day, Jiang Li hired a luxurious carriage and set off with Tang San toward the Sunset Forest.

Along the way, Tang San was incredibly excited.

According to Jiang Li, due to the cultivation system of this world, a soul master must absorb corresponding soul rings to advance.

Doesn't that mean once he obtains a suitable soul ring, his Mysterious Heaven Skill, which has reached a bottleneck, will be able to successfully break through to the next stage?

He also trusts that with his master's experience, he will surely find him a suitable soul ring.

It is a pity that Master is not a disciple of the Bashu Tang Sect, otherwise, I would definitely pass the Mysterious Heaven Skill to him.

Tang San thought to himself.

However, he soon realized that he already had the idea of establishing the Tang Sect in this other world.

Once the foundation of the Tang Sect is built, he can have his master serve as the Supreme Elder, and in that way, he could reasonably pass the corresponding techniques to his master for cultivation.

Of course, before departing, he had already gifted the Zhuge Crossbow he specially crafted to Jiang Li, who in turn expressed his approval of Tang San's interest in blacksmithing.

Halfway through the journey, Jiang Li, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly recalled something very important.

Inside his storage Soul Tool lay several pieces of top-grade Whale Rubber.

When his soul power was low, he lacked the means to acquire such items, and by the time he had the ability, the benefits of Whale Rubber for his own cultivation had become negligible.

"Xiao San, there is a very important matter here that requires you to make a decision."

Hearing Jiang Li's serious tone, Tang San immediately sat up straight. "Master, please speak."

"Xiao San, according to the common knowledge of the soul master world on the Douluo Continent, the absorption limit for a soul master's first soul ring is usually around 400 years."

"However, I possess a secret method that can allow your first soul ring to reach 600 or even 700 years. If you do this, your second soul ring could achieve the feat of being a thousand-year ring."

"A soul master's golden age lasts only a few years, so it can be said that being one step ahead means being ahead at every step."

"However, I am concerned that once you become a thousand-year second-ring soul master, you will face endless trouble. As for the reason, I believe with your intelligence, you can guess it."

Upon hearing what his master said, Tang San pondered for only a moment before his expression turned resolute.

Cultivation is an act of defying the heavens; those minor difficulties are nothing but a bit of wind and frost!

"Master, please assist me!"

Tang San stood up and bowed solemnly to Jiang Li.

"Good. Since you have such ambition, Xiao San, even if I have to risk my life, I will help you grow!"

Yet, in his heart, he thought that with Tang Dachui around, the other party would surely help them resolve any difficulties.

Deeply moved, Tang San kowtowed to Jiang Li several times.

Soon, Jiang Li took out a milky-white or light-gray, translucent, crystal-like object from his storage Soul Tool.

It looked somewhat like the incompletely solidified jelly from his previous life.

This piece of Whale Rubber was several thousand years old, making it just right for Tang San to consume.

Following this, Jiang Li had the coachman stop the carriage nearby. He grabbed Tang San by the shoulder and, in a few leaps, arrived at a dense forest with a water source.

"Xiao San, after you consume this, no matter how uncomfortable your body feels, you must endure it."

"During this process, your body will continuously expel impurities, and you can wash them off in this stream."

Jiang Li specifically instructed.

He trusted that with the mental fortitude Tang San had cultivated over two lifetimes, the incident involving Dai Yuhao and that lecherous bird in the Sea God Lake would not repeat itself.

"I understand, Teacher!"

Tang San nodded quickly, realizing that he owed his master more and more.

Such a secret medicine capable of cleansing the marrow and cutting the bones would be extremely precious even in the Bashu Tang Sect of his previous life, yet his master was willing to give such a treasure directly to him!

The kindness of a master is truly impossible to repay!

Soon, as Jiang Li channeled his soul power, the Whale Rubber in his hand slowly softened. He placed it into a bowl and handed it to Tang San.

The area was instantly filled with a strange fragrance.

Tang San took a firm look at the bowl in Jiang Li's hand, gritted his teeth, and drank it all in one gulp.

In an instant, a thick, pungent scent of the sea violently assaulted Tang San's nostrils.

Before that fishy tang could fully dissipate on his tongue, it suddenly condensed into a warm, scalding current that slid down his throat and into his belly.

The strange sensation of cold and heat intertwined made Tang San narrow his eyes in comfort.

Soon, he felt as if a scorching furnace had been stuffed into his chest and abdomen.

The warmth was no longer scattered, but spread slowly along his muscles, even reaching the tips of his limbs with a faint heat.

Immediately after, the warm current surged through his meridians, rushing into every part of his body.

By now, Tang San's skin had flushed a translucent crimson, and even the sweat seeping from his pores carried a faint reddish-brown hue.

The impurities that had been lurking deep within his meridians, difficult to purge, were slowly seeping out of his body along with the sweat, congealing into a thin layer of white frost on the surface of his skin.

Ignoring everything else, he quickly stripped off his clothes and stepped into the small stream, focusing his mind on refining the energy.
