During that time, Qian Daoliu also sent Yue Guan to Heaven Dou City to eliminate any remaining threats.
Another three days passed. Just as Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu on the shore had begun to grow anxious, Tai Yi below slowly opened his eyes. By then, he had finally absorbed the two Divine Spirit Bones.
Moreover, with Tai Yi's successful absorption of the two Spirit Bones, the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lost their original effect. The spring that had once intertwined red and blue, capable of tempering one's body with ice and fire, had now become an ordinary clear spring.
When Qian Daoliu and the other two saw the sudden change in the spring before them, they immediately guessed that Tai Yi below was the cause.
Then, in the very next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the water. Naturally, it was Tai Yi. As he climbed ashore, Qian Renxue spoke to him.
"Xiao Yi, what were you doing down there in the spring? You stayed below for four or five days. If Grandpa hadn't dived down and seen that you were safely absorbing something, I would have thought something had happened to you."
At this moment, Qian Daoliu also spoke.
"That's right, Xiao Yi. Going down there made Xue'er worry about you the whole time."
Qian Daoliu continued.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, when I went down to check on you, it looked like you were absorbing something. What exactly were you absorbing beneath the spring?"
Hearing this, Tai Yi directly completed Martial Soul Possession. As his Spirit Rings gradually appeared, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were both stunned, because they saw Tai Yi's third Spirit Ring, which was interwoven in red and blue.
Tai Yi then spoke to Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue.
"I went down there to absorb this Spirit Ring. The God of Destruction helped me obtain it. Its age will increase along with my Soul Power, and once I become a god, it will become a Divine Spirit Ring with me."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction before speaking to Tai Yi.
"So that's how it is. With this Spirit Ring, the potential of your third Spirit Skill will be extremely high in the future, Xiao Yi."
Qian Renxue also spoke at this time.
"That's right, Xiao Yi. A Spirit Ring like this, one that gradually grows stronger—your Spirit Skills must be incredibly powerful, right?"
Hearing this, Tai Yi sensed the Spirit Skills brought to him by the red-and-blue Spirit Ring he had absorbed.
As he examined them, Tai Yi discovered something delightful. His third Spirit Ring had actually granted him three Spirit Skills. The first was a Spirit Skill bestowed by the Fire Dragon King's power: Golden Crow Flame Devouring Strike. The second was the Ice Dragon King's Golden Crow Ice Breaking Strike.
Both Spirit Skills were single-target offensive techniques, and both carried the suppression of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice.
The third Spirit Skill was one shared by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings: Extreme Cold Prairie Fire.
It was a domain-type Spirit Skill. Within the domain, bitter cold and scorching heat intertwined, as if those inside had been thrown into the waters of the original Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Its effects were even more powerful.
For a moment, Tai Yi was stunned by the three Spirit Skills of his third Spirit Ring, especially the third one. It was a little too powerful—a mighty and noble domain skill.
Tai Yi then told Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu about the three Spirit Skills of his third Spirit Ring.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was also shocked, and then he spoke.
"As expected of a Divine Spirit Ring. A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring only possesses two Spirit Skills, yet this Spirit Ring has three—and they complement one another."
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement.
Then, at that moment, Qian Daoliu exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Yi, I only just noticed that your Soul Power has actually reached level forty. You're already a Soul Ancestor, and you're only a little over seven years old."
Hearing this, Tai Yi said.
"Hahaha, Grandpa, I was just lucky. First, the spring tempered my body, then I consumed Immortal Herbs, and finally, I absorbed this Divine Spirit Ring. That's why my strength increased so much."
Though he said that, Tai Yi could not help saying to himself, Most importantly, I absorbed two Divine Spirit Bones, and I haven't even mentioned that yet.
Only then did Qian Daoliu nod. After all, Qian Renxue had also reached level fifty Soul Power. It was only natural for Xiao Yi to have improved so much as well.
Qian Daoliu then spoke.
"Xiao Yi, since everything you needed has been settled, we should return to Spirit City. Once we return, I'll send people to capture the Spirit Beasts you and Xiao Xue need for your fourth and fifth Spirit Rings. More importantly, both of you have experienced such a tremendous increase in Soul Power this time. Although you absorbed Immortal Herbs and there are no side effects, such a sudden increase will take some getting used to. Once we return, I'll have the others in Worship Hall begin special training for the two of you. All of Worship Hall's resources will be prioritized for you both."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue spoke.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll work hard and make up for the losses of these past years."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue glanced at Tai Yi before continuing.
"At the very least, I won't let Xiao Yi surpass me."
Tai Yi replied.
"Then you'd better work hard, Xue'er. Don't forget, I still have another Martial Soul. Hahaha."
Just as Tai Yi was still showing off, a hand seized his ear the next moment and twisted it twice.
At the same time, she shouted at Tai Yi.
"Tai Yi, how many times have I told you? Don't call me Xue'er. Call me Sister."
Tai Yi could only nod repeatedly and say that he understood.
Then, while Qian Renxue was not paying attention, Tai Yi immediately slipped away from her and shouted.
"I'll call you Xue'er! Xue'er, Xue'er, Xue'er, Xue'er!"
What followed was Qian Renxue chasing Tai Yi around as they playfully fought. Seeing this scene, Qian Daoliu smiled.
Qian Daoliu then called out.
"Enough. It's time for us to leave."
Only then did Qian Renxue and Tai Yi stop fooling around. They came to Qian Daoliu's side, ready to leave.
Then, at that moment, Tai Yi looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which could no longer be called a treasured land. He then saw the seeds left behind after Yue Guan had harvested the Immortal Herbs. Seeing this, Tai Yi understood that after he had absorbed the Spirit Bones, this place could no longer support the growth of those Immortal Herb seeds. Given enough time, the seeds would lose their vitality entirely. Naturally, Tai Yi did not want that to happen.
Therefore, Tai Yi prepared to dig up and collect the Immortal Herb seeds. Once he found a suitable place in the future—or after he became a god and created a place for them—he would allow those Immortal Herbs to continue growing there.
