"Third, absorbing a Soul Bone can also improve your physical constitution!"
And these three methods didn't conflict with one another. Ling Feng himself was using all three.
He had always trained his body, and he had also taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, two Immortal Herbs, refining them into an Ice and Fire Golden Body.
He even had a Soul Bone now. Though it was only an External Soul Bone, it could still strengthen his body.
"So there are so many ways to do it? If only I'd known about them sooner!" Bibi Dong said.
If she had found out about these methods earlier, she felt she might have had a chance to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as her fourth Soul Ring.
"It's not too late to find out now," Ling Feng said.
"Now that you can strengthen your body, you can consider absorbing a Soul Ring with a higher age for your fifth one, making your Soul Skill more powerful."
Bibi Dong nodded. "You're right!"
"Do you know any cultivation methods for strengthening the body, or any heavenly treasures that could do the same?" Bibi Dong asked.
Soul Bones were far too precious. Even Spirit Hall wouldn't easily give one to someone like her, who hadn't yet grown strong.
After all, not even every one of Spirit Hall's guardian elders had a Soul Bone.
But for Spirit Hall, collecting secret techniques and heavenly treasures to strengthen the body would be much easier.
Ling Feng nodded. "I know of a medicinal ingredient that can strengthen the body, and it's very easy to use."
"As for secret techniques? The Clear Sky Hammer is the world's number-one tool-type Martial Soul, and it's a power-based assault-type Martial Soul. Its wielders must have strong bodies."
"So I think the Clear Sky Sect should have some secret techniques for strengthening the body."
The secret technique Tang Hao used to seal Tang San's Soul Skills and have him train beneath a waterfall should be able to strengthen the body and widen the meridians.
"The Clear Sky Sect?" Bibi Dong frowned.
She planned to go find her teacher right away and ask Qian Xunji to think of a way to get the Clear Sky Sect's techniques.
"What's the medicinal ingredient you mentioned?" Bibi Dong asked.
Compared to the Clear Sky Sect, finding medicinal ingredients should be much easier for her.
Ling Feng looked at Bibi Dong and smiled. "Bibi Dong, isn't this only our first day knowing each other?"
"That medicinal ingredient is a secret remedy I discovered only after going through countless hardships and conducting countless experiments!"
Bibi Dong was stunned, then immediately understood what Ling Feng meant.
That's right. We've only known each other for one day. I've overstepped! Bibi Dong thought.
The secrets Ling Feng had told her could have served as the knowledge passed down by an entire sect.
Yet Ling Feng had shared all of it with her for free, and she had still wanted to keep pressing him for answers?
"I'm sorry. I was being presumptuous. I shouldn't have pried into your secrets!" Bibi Dong said.
When she wasn't blinded by love, Bibi Dong wasn't a fool. She knew how to judge what mattered. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to run Spirit Hall so well later on.
Ling Feng shook his head. "Bibi Dong, that's not what I meant. I mean, it'll cost you extra!"
"I can tell you what the secret remedy is, but I have a few conditions!"
"Huh?"
Bibi Dong didn't understand at first. When she heard Ling Feng's words, the image of him as a master and expert shattered in an instant.
Still, it was good news that Ling Feng was willing to tell her his secret.
She was the Pope's disciple. Surely Ling Feng's conditions couldn't be too much for her to handle?
"What are your conditions?" Bibi Dong asked.
Ling Feng thought for a moment. "When you prepare that medicinal ingredient, you'll need to get me a few portions too. I want to strengthen my body as well."
"And I'm still missing a Storage Soul Tool. You have to give me one! It'd be even better if it could hold living things!"
Soul Tools were extraordinarily precious in this era of Douluo Continent, often costing tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins—far beyond what Ling Feng could afford.
But without a Soul Tool, traveling outside to gain experience was extremely inconvenient.
"A Soul Tool?" Bibi Dong relaxed when she heard that.
Anything Gold Soul Coins could solve wasn't a problem. Ling Feng's conditions weren't unreasonable.
His secret remedy wouldn't just benefit Bibi Dong. It could benefit all of Spirit Hall.
If Bibi Dong took this knowledge to Qian Xunji, he'd probably be willing to give her not just one Soul Tool, but ten.
"All right! I agree to everything you've asked for!" Bibi Dong said.
Seeing that Bibi Dong had agreed, Ling Feng stopped holding back.
"That secret remedy is called Whale Rubber. It comes from the brains of whale-type Soul Beasts and can be used to strengthen the body."
"Our Spirit Hall's influence stretches across the continent. You can ask someone to look for it in coastal cities. They should be able to find plenty."
Ling Feng didn't know whether Whale Rubber's aphrodisiac effect had been discovered yet.
If it had, then it should already be available for purchase on the continent, and there'd be no need to go all the way to a coastal city.
"Whale Rubber? I'll remember that." Bibi Dong committed the name of the ingredient to memory.
"I'll go see my teacher right away. I'll bring you what you asked for in a few days!" Bibi Dong said.
With that, Bibi Dong hurried off to take credit with Qian Xunji.
Acquiring so much secret knowledge for Spirit Hall was certainly a great achievement.
With this achievement under her belt, Bibi Dong felt that even if she asked her teacher for a Soul Bone, the elders wouldn't dare object.
Spirit City, library.
After several busy days, Yu Xiaogang had finally learned the truth about Bibi Dong.
Given Bibi Dong's beauty and status, many people in the city paid attention to her, so it wasn't difficult to find out about her.
"Bibi Dong, the Pope's disciple. Her Martial Soul is the Death Demon Spider, and she occasionally comes to the library to look through theoretical books on Twin Martial Souls!"
"Could she be the legendary Twin Martial Soul wielder? Is that why she cares about these books?"
Several theoretical books on Twin Martial Souls lay in front of Yu Xiaogang.
The theoretical texts here were far more complete than the Clear Sky Tyrant Dragon Clan's inheritance, and they opened Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
"According to the books, the only person in decades to possess Twin Martial Souls died from their body exploding during cultivation."
"Could Bibi Dong be afraid of suffering the same fate, which is why she's searching these books for a solution?"
"I can't believe she's just like me, troubled by the flaws in her Martial Soul."
"And her problem is even more serious. At least I won't die because of it, but she could suddenly die while cultivating her Twin Martial Souls!"
Yu Xiaogang felt that he and Bibi Dong were a match made in heaven. They were both facing almost the same problem with their Martial Souls.
"To get her attention, I have to cater to her interests and study Twin Martial Souls!" Yu Xiaogang thought.
Having made up his mind, Yu Xiaogang continued reading.
Only this time, he wasn't reading books about the malignant mutation of his own Martial Soul, but books related to Twin Martial Souls.
