During this period, Qian Daoliu also dispatched Yue Guan to Heaven Dou City to root out any remaining threats.
Three more days passed in this manner. Just as Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu were growing anxious on the bank, Tai Yi finally opened his eyes slowly. At this moment, Tai Yi had finally finished absorbing the two god-level spirit bones.
Furthermore, with Tai Yi's successful absorption of the two spirit bones, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lost its original properties. The spring water, which had once been a mixture of red and blue and capable of performing Ice and Fire Body Tempering, had now transformed into an ordinary, clear spring.
Seeing the sudden change in the spring water before them, the three of them—Qian Daoliu included—guessed that it was caused by Tai Yi below.
Then, in the next second, a figure suddenly emerged from the spring water; it was naturally Tai Yi. As Tai Yi climbed onto the bank, Qian Renxue spoke to him:
"Xiao Yi, what were you doing under the water? You stayed down there for four or five days. If Grandfather hadn't dived in and seen you absorbing something safely, I would have thought something had happened to you."
At this, Qian Daoliu also spoke up:
"That's right, Xiao Yi. You went down there and kept Xue'er worried the whole time."
Qian Daoliu then continued:
"By the way, Xiao Yi, when I went down, I saw you seemed to be absorbing something. So, what exactly were you absorbing beneath the spring?"
Hearing this, Tai Yi immediately activated his spirit avatar. As his spirit rings slowly manifested, both Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were stunned, for they both saw Tai Yi's third spirit ring, which was a mixture of red and blue.
Tai Yi then spoke to Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue:
"I was down there to absorb this spirit ring. This ring was obtained for me by the God of Destruction. The age of this ring will increase as my spirit power grows, and eventually, as I become a god, this ring will also evolve into a god-level spirit ring."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction and said to Tai Yi:
"So that's how it is. With this ring, the potential of your third spirit skill will be extremely high in the future, Xiao Yi."
Qian Renxue then added:
"That's right, Xiao Yi. With a spirit ring that grows like this, your spirit skill must be incredibly powerful."
Hearing this, Tai Yi felt the spirit skills brought about by absorbing the red and blue dual-colored ring.
As Tai Yi sensed them, he discovered something delightful: his third spirit ring had actually granted him three skills. The first was a skill derived from the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King: Golden Crow Flame Devouring Strike; the second was the Golden Crow Ice Breaking Strike brought by the Ice Dragon King.
Both of these skills were single-target offensive maneuvers, and both carried the suppression of Extreme Fire and Extreme Ice.
The third spirit skill was a joint skill of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings: Extreme Cold Prairie Fire.
It was a domain-type skill. Within the domain, extreme cold and scorching heat intersected, as if those inside were plunged into the original Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but with even more powerful effects.
For a moment, Tai Yi was shocked by the three skills of his third spirit ring, especially the third one; it was a bit too powerful—a formidable and noble domain skill.
Tai Yi then told Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu about the three skills of his third spirit ring.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was also shocked and remarked:
"As expected of a god-level spirit ring. You must know that even a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring only has two skills, yet this ring has three, and they are complementary to one another."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded in agreement.
It was then that Qian Daoliu said in surprise:
"Xiao Yi, I just realized your spirit power has reached level forty. You're already a Spirit Ancestor, and you're only a little over seven years old!"
Tai Yi replied:
"Hahaha, Grandfather, it's just good luck. First the spring water body tempering, then consuming the immortal herbs, and finally absorbing this god-level spirit ring—that's why I've had such a massive improvement."
Though he said this, Tai Yi couldn't help but think to himself, The most important part is that I absorbed two god-level spirit bones, but I haven't mentioned that yet.
Qian Daoliu nodded upon hearing this; after all, Qian Renxue had also reached level fifty spirit power, so it was only natural for Xiao Yi to have such an improvement.
Qian Daoliu then said:
"Xiao Yi, since the things you needed are all resolved, let's return to Spirit City. Once we return, I will send people to capture the spirit beasts for the fourth and fifth spirit rings that you and Xue'er need. More importantly, you both have gained such a massive increase in spirit power this time. Although you absorbed immortal herbs without any side effects, such a sudden jump will inevitably lead to some instability. So, after we return, I will have the others in the Elder Palace begin special training for you both. All resources of the Elder Palace will be prioritized for you two."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue said:
"Grandfather, don't worry. I will work hard to make up for the losses of these past years."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue glanced at Tai Yi and continued:
"At the very least, I won't be outdone by Xiao Yi."
To this, Tai Yi replied:
"Then you'll have to work hard, Xue'er. Don't forget, I still have another martial soul, hahaha."
Just as Tai Yi was gloating, a hand grabbed his ear in the next second and gave it two twists.
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 he understood.
Then, taking advantage of Qian Renxue's distraction, Tai Yi pulled himself away and shouted:
"I'll call you Xue'er, I'll call you Xue'er! Xue'er, Xue'er, Xue'er!"
What followed was Qian Renxue chasing Tai Yi around as they played. Seeing this scene, Qian Daoliu revealed a smile.
Then, Qian Daoliu called out:
"Alright, it's time to go."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue and Tai Yi stopped their bickering and came to Qian Daoliu's side, ready to leave.
It was then that Tai Yi looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which could no longer be called a treasure land, and saw the seeds left behind after Yue Guan had harvested the immortal herbs. Seeing this, Tai Yi understood that after he absorbed the spirit bones, it would be impossible for these seeds to grow here again. Over time, these seeds would lose their vitality, and Tai Yi naturally did not want that to happen.
Therefore, Tai Yi prepared to dig up these immortal herb seeds and collect them, waiting until he found a suitable place in the future, or until he became a god and created a place where these immortal herbs could continue to grow.
