Absorbing Life Gold, Drawing Out Tian Meng's Life Essence!

"Even those from the same empire could slaughter each other."

"Just because you and I are both human doesn't mean I have to help you. There's no such rule."

"Even Spirit Hall and the emperors of the two great empires could sacrifice certain regional interests for the greater good."

Lan Lingcang looked at Ah Yin seriously, his tone calm yet unquestionable.

"Ah Yin, do you want to help me?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin answered without hesitation, "Yes."

"Then that's enough."

Lan Lingcang's voice was calm and earnest.

"At my current rate of growth, I'll probably have to face the God Realm within a few years."

"If you're unwilling to absorb his life essence to raise your cultivation, then I can only choose someone else who can help me."

Lan Lingcang was telling the truth.

After all, Ah Yin was not the only one capable of taking human form.

It was merely because they were of the same clan that Lan Lingcang was more willing to choose her.

Otherwise, beings on the level of Xiong Jun or the Ten Thousand Demon King would be even stronger in battle after taking human form.

However, if he truly made that choice, he would have to wait several more years.

After all, once soul beasts took human form, they had to grow from infancy.

Unless they were exceptions like the Auspicious Beast.

With fifteen thousand years of cultivation, it was already equivalent to one hundred thousand years, allowing it to take human form.

Furthermore, after becoming human, it did not begin from the age of six, and its strength was not weak either.

Lan Lingcang did not want the person he chose to be some saintly, soft-hearted type.

Ah Yin pondered carefully for a moment before finally nodding.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Lan Lingcang looked at her and revealed a satisfied smile.

"That's more like it."

Lan Lingcang took out the piece of Life Gold Bi Ji had given him. The golden crystal reflected a gentle gleam beneath the sunlight.

"Absorb this first."

"Life Gold can help you open up your Sea of Spirit and build a sturdier foundation for your spiritual power."

Ah Yin accepted the Life Gold. It felt warm and smooth in her hand, as though a warm current was slowly flowing within it.

She sat down cross-legged, placed the Life Gold in her palm, and began guiding her Soul Power to resonate with it.

Lan Lingcang sat behind her and gently pressed his right hand against Ah Yin's back, slowly transferring his Soul Power into her body.

He guided the energy of the Life Gold, merging it bit by bit into Ah Yin's spiritual world.

Golden light flowed around Ah Yin's body, gradually seeping into the space between her brows.

Ah Yin felt as if something in her mind had been pried open. A warm energy surged inside, endlessly expanding her spiritual space.

It felt like the four walls of a once-cramped room had been torn down, abruptly opening her view into something incomparably vast.

The range of her perception grew wider and wider, while her spiritual power expanded at an astonishing rate.

Lan Lingcang kept the energy flow under control, ensuring it did not exceed Ah Yin's limits.

The entire process lasted nearly two hours.

Once the Life Gold's energy had been completely absorbed, Ah Yin slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them.

Her spiritual power had risen by more than a single level.

The aura she radiated had also become livelier, like a dust-covered pearl finally wiped clean.

Lan Lingcang withdrew his hand and nodded. "Not bad. Your Sea of Spirit has taken initial form."

"Next, it's that worm's turn."

Lan Lingcang rose to his feet and walked toward the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who was tightly bound in vines.

The moment the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw Lan Lingcang approaching, his entire body began to tremble.

"Big brother... Big brother, let's talk this out..."

Lan Lingcang ignored his pleas. Raising his right hand, he drove a Blue Silver Vine directly into the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body.

The next second, he began forcibly extracting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life essence.

Golden threads surged from the end of the vine, intertwining in the air to form a golden river that continuously poured into the area within one meter of Ah Yin.

The golden threads slowly revolved in the air, forming a ring of energy that enveloped Ah Yin.

As long as Ah Yin remained within that circle, she could continuously absorb the energy to raise her cultivation.

Lan Lingcang's method, however, was far more brutal than Di Tian's group.

Di Tian and the others used seals to slowly erode the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life energy. The process was gentle, but its efficiency was terribly low.

Lan Lingcang, on the other hand, was directly ripping it out. His speed was more than ten times faster.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a miserable scream, his bloated body convulsing violently.

"Big brother! Big brother, go easier!"

"It hurts so much! It really hurts!"

"I'm a Million-Year Soul Beast! Spare my life! I can provide you with even more energy in the future!"

Lan Lingcang turned a deaf ear, and the extraction only accelerated.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's screams echoed through the Ancestral Land, making the listeners' eardrums ache.

Hearing those cries, Ah Yin's brows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little reluctant to continue.

But after glancing at Lan Lingcang's focused profile, she took a deep breath and forcibly calmed herself.

She knew these were things she needed to do.

For Lan Lingcang.

For the future of the Blue Silver Grass Clan.

She slowly closed her eyes and activated the Blue Silver Domain, shutting out the sounds around her.

The moment the domain opened, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's wails instantly vanished.

Ah Yin's world became quiet, leaving behind only the warm sensation of golden threads flowing into her body.

She could clearly feel her Soul Power rising at an unprecedented speed.

In just half an hour, her Soul Power rose from level fifty-three to level fifty-four.

That rate was simply outrageously absurd.

While maintaining the extraction, Lan Lingcang looked at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and fell into thought.

He suddenly remembered something.

In the original novel, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could grant a Soul Master a position for an ice-attributed martial soul.

In other words, after absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring, a Soul Master had an extremely high chance of gaining the foundation of a second martial soul.

If Ah Yin absorbed Tian Meng's Soul Ring, could she also gain a second ice-attributed martial soul?

If that were the case, Ah Yin's path would be far broader.

By subsequently absorbing nine ice-attributed Soul Rings, she could reach the realm of a Peerless Douluo at an extremely fast pace.

Moreover, because it was not yet ten thousand years later, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not been weakened by all sorts of seals.

Ah Yin should also be able to obtain a Million-Year Soul Bone from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's own abilities were not particularly impressive, and Ah Yin did not possess a spiritual attribute,

it was still a Million-Year Soul Bone, after all.

Even if it did not increase her Soul Power much, it would surely provide Ah Yin with a considerable improvement.

The primary function of a Soul Bone was not to increase a Soul Master's Soul Power, but to enhance the Soul Master's physique and talent—in other words, their cultivation speed.

The cultivation speeds of those with Soul Bones and those without them were on completely different levels.

Tang Hao and Chen Xin were perfect examples.

Tang Hao became a Titled Douluo at forty-four, while Chen Xin did not achieve it until around the age of seventy.

PS: Chen Xin was level ninety-two at seventy-two. His father became a Titled Douluo at sixty-eight, while Chen Xin's talent was slightly inferior to Chen Jianjun's, so he likely became a Titled Douluo at around seventy.
