"Really?"
Jiang Nannan could hardly believe her ears.
In the world of soul masters, the status of a teacher is no less than that of one's own parents; taking on a master is not just about inheriting skills, but a bond as deep as blood.
Correspondingly, anyone who dares to harm another's student is inviting a blood feud that can only end in death.
And now, the incredibly powerful Sister Dong actually wanted to take her as a disciple?
Chen Doudou gave her a gentle nudge with his eyes: "Sister Nannan, what are you still standing there for?"
"Ah? Yes, yes!"
Jiang Nannan finally snapped out of her immense surprise, ecstatic.
She hurriedly straightened her clothes, then bowed solemnly to Bibi Dong:
"Jiang Nannan pays respects to Teacher!"
Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction and reached out to gesture for her to rise: "Get up. Remember, my name is Bibi Dong."
"Yes, Teacher!"
Jiang Nannan stood up, her small face flushed with excitement.
"Let's go, back to the hotel. I want you both to absorb the pills first."
Bibi Dong turned, her purple hair tracing an elegant arc in the air: "You both need to cultivate diligently today, especially you, Doudou. Don't think that just because you beat Xu Sanshi, you're something special."
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Dong is always right."
Chen Doudou followed along with a grin.
The three returned to the hotel.
Bibi Dong immediately took out the three Black Tortoise Divine Pills.
The pills were deep black, the size of longan fruit, with faint, mysterious patterns flowing across their surfaces.
An extremely pure, ancient aura emanated from them, refreshing the spirit of anyone who caught a whiff.
"These are good things."
Bibi Dong handed the pills to the two of them: "The Black Tortoise is a divine beast. The pills condensed from its bloodline power contain the purest essence of a divine beast. Take one each and refine the medicinal power well."
Even in the God Realm, pills containing the power of divine beasts were extremely rare cultivation resources.
"Don't worry, Sister Dong. Refining a pill is as easy as chewing on a snack, isn't it?"
Chen Doudou chuckled nonchalantly. Without even looking, he tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
His movements were so practiced that it looked as if he were eating a candy bean rather than a precious divine pill.
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes in annoyance and made a move to flick his forehead: "You brat, do you think everyone is like you, with a physique as strong as a monster?"
"This pill contains the essence of a divine beast. If an ordinary person dared to swallow it whole like that, they would have exploded and died long ago!"
She turned to instruct Jiang Nannan, her tone softening significantly: "Nannan, don't follow his example. Keep the pill under your tongue and use your soul power to refine it bit by bit. This power is very overbearing; you must guide it slowly, understand?"
"Yes, Teacher, don't worry."
Jiang Nannan nodded obediently, carefully placing the pill under her tongue. She immediately sat cross-legged and began guiding her soul power to envelop the violent, warm current surging into her body.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong was very satisfied.
It was rare to find a disciple who was so obedient, sensible, talented, and filial.
Compared to Hu Liena, who had made her so angry a couple of days ago that her hair nearly stood on end, this was like comparing heaven and earth.
Sigh... she really is a handful.
Bibi Dong sighed inwardly, her gaze drifting toward the bustling Qingfeng City outside the window, her eyes turning deep and contemplative.
Nana, are you doing well in the lower realm?
Inside the room, the air seemed to have frozen.
Chen Doudou sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes tightly shut.
The moment the Black Tortoise Divine Pill entered his stomach, a massive, sea-like black torrent exploded within his meridians.
If it were anyone else, their meridians would have likely been ruptured by this power by now.
But Chen Doudou was different.
Not only that, but he even began to undergo an incredible transformation due to the Black Tortoise power.
He had previously consumed a Phoenix Divine Pill left behind by a former Phoenix God, and the undigested Phoenix power within his body was now completely triggered by this Black Tortoise energy.
One cold, one hot; one water, one fire.
Two diametrically opposed forces were frantically intertwining and merging within his body.
"Hum!"
Chen Doudou felt as if his body had been cast into a purgatory of ice and fire.
On the surface of his skin, crimson flame patterns flickered, alternating with deep blue water-film scales.
Under the scouring of the Black Tortoise Divine Pill's primal power, he had begun a terrifying transformation.
Bibi Dong stood not far away, her purple eyes narrowing slightly, filled with unconcealable surprise and shock.
Watching the water and fire light flickering alternately on Chen Doudou's body, along with the defensive textures gradually tending toward perfection, she couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:
"To think that the Phoenix Divine Pill could actually resonate with the Black Tortoise Divine Pill."
"Refining the golden body through water and fire... using the softness of water to overcome the ferocity of fire, then using the ferocity of fire to temper the hardness of water."
"It seems this kid Doudou has truly obtained a heaven-sent fortune."
Absorbing the power of two divine beasts—such an opportunity was rare even in the God Realm.
On the other side.
Jiang Nannan's situation was much gentler.
Her body was enveloped in a faint yellow halo, and the pure power of the Black Tortoise flowed like a warm, gentle current, slowly nourishing her limbs and bones.
Her skin became more delicate and fair at a speed visible to the naked eye, resembling fine mutton-fat jade, exuding a healthy luster.
Her figure, which had been slightly thin due to malnutrition, also became more well-proportioned under the scouring of the energy.
Her entire aura was more than several times stronger than before.
"Hoo..."
A moment later, two long, drawn-out sounds of exhalation rang out simultaneously.
Chen Doudou and Jiang Nannan opened their eyes at the same time.
Chen Doudou clenched his fists, and a crisp sound of bones cracking immediately echoed in the air.
"How is it, Doudou? How do you feel?"
"It's great!"
Chen Doudou stretched his muscles and bones: "I feel like my body is at least twice as strong as before. This Black Tortoise Divine Pill triggered the Phoenix Pill I took earlier."
Simply put, a quantitative change had led to a qualitative change.
He could clearly feel that ordinary swords and spears would likely be unable to break his defense now.
The same applied to water and fire attributes; within the same realm, unless they were ultimate attributes, they wouldn't be able to affect him in the slightest. Moreover, this golden body would evolve as his strength increased.
One day in the future, perhaps even ultimate water and fire would be unable to affect him!
Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction and turned her gaze to Jiang Nannan: "And you, Nannan?"
Jiang Nannan felt the surging soul power within her, her small face full of pleasant surprise: "Teacher, my soul power has increased by a full three levels! I've reached level nineteen now!"
For a soul master who had just started, jumping three levels was simply a fantasy; the efficacy of the Black Tortoise Divine Pill was evident.
"Not bad, not bad."
Bibi Dong was very gratified.
At this moment, Chen Doudou suddenly realized something. He touched his arm and looked at Bibi Dong with a suspicious expression: "Hey, that's not right. Why did Sister Nannan's soul power increase, but I don't feel any movement in mine at all?"
Bibi Dong gave him a flick on the forehead, annoyed: "You're dreaming, aren't you? You've already refined a golden body, and you still want to increase your soul power? You want all the benefits for yourself?"
"Do you have any idea how monstrous your golden body is right now?"
"That pathetic golden body of Tang San's is nothing but a little brother compared to yours!"
"This is the fusion of the bloodline powers of the divine beast Black Tortoise and the divine beast Phoenix. Do you think the medicinal power consumed was small?"
"That Tang San only gains immunity to the ice and fire of low-level soul masters, but once you cultivate this further, you'll be achieving sainthood through your physical body!"
Chen Doudou scratched his head and chuckled: "Isn't it still a bit of a pity, though?"
"You really are getting a bargain and still acting spoiled."
Bibi Dong didn't even know how many times she had rolled her eyes today.
Just then, a knock came at the door.
The waiter's voice rang out abruptly: "Respected Miss, someone outside claiming to be the Sect Master of the Mysterious Underworld Sect says he is here to deliver something to you."
Bibi Dong curled her lips: "Delivering a soul bone? It seems they arrived quite quickly."
