Dugu Bo quickly helped Lin Bei set up the Poison Array again. After telling Lin Bei how to activate and deactivate it, he took his leave and left, worried about his granddaughter.
Before he left, he said to Lin Bei, "Kid, my granddaughter really is very beautiful."
Lin Bei: "..."
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Senior, I already have a fiancée."
"Men having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal."
"But your granddaughter already has someone she likes."
"You know that too?"
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and gave Lin Bei a deep look. This kid had investigated that clearly?
Lin Bei smiled and said nothing.
That attitude made Dugu Bo sigh inwardly. Good kid. So young, yet so calculating.
"All right, this old man will be going first. If you need anything, you can come find me at the Royal Academy."
Dugu Bo turned and headed toward Heaven Dou City, soon disappearing into the layered crowns of the trees in Sunset Forest.
Lin Bei returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The plants growing here were all extremely powerful Herbal Medicines or poisons. Lin Bei had never studied the relevant knowledge, so in this area, he could not compare to Tang San.
However, he could still identify some of the immortal-grade Herbal Medicines mentioned in the original work.
For example, the Blazing Apricot Flood and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
These two poisonous plants grew right beside the fire spring and the ice spring. Other than them, no other plants grew in the surrounding area.
Lin Bei stepped toward the Blazing Apricot Flood. Before he even got close, the scorching temperature set the clothes on his body alight.
He raised an eyebrow, and the Soul Power around him surged. The flames that had just ignited were immediately extinguished. Then he easily arrived beside the Blazing Apricot Flood and grabbed it in his hand.
It was as if Lin Bei had seized a red-hot piece of iron. The searing temperature made his palm feel slightly hot—
But that was all.
He was not Tang San from the original work, who had nearly died in order to pick the Blazing Apricot Flood and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
At that time, Tang San had not even obtained his fourth soul ring.
Lin Bei was now a Titled Douluo.
His physical quality had even reached Peerless Douluo Level.
The environment here could not have much effect on him.
After picking the Blazing Apricot Flood, Lin Bei walked toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and plucked it as well.
Then, without much hesitation, Lin Bei directly swallowed the two immortal herbs. The instant they entered his mouth, it was like pouring underground magma and ice from the far north into himself.
The feeling of ice and fire layered together made Lin Bei feel somewhat refreshed.
He drew in a comfortable breath.
Sensing the medicinal power of the Blazing Apricot Flood and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass beginning to spread through his body, Lin Bei immediately leaped up and jumped into the center of the spring eyes where the fire spring and ice spring met.
The instant he entered the water, even more domineering fire power and ice power surged madly into Lin Bei's body. His body instantly turned half red and half blue.
Lin Bei sat cross-legged in the spring water, held fast to his true heart, and began circulating the Meditation Method Bibi Dong had given him.
Ever since he had advanced to Soul Douluo two years ago, the increase of Soul Power was no longer a simple addition of levels. The Soul Power he obtained from the simulator often required three or four runs of thirty or forty levels each before Lin Bei's Soul Power could rise by one level.
So Lin Bei had no choice but to begin cultivating the Meditation Method Bibi Dong had given him. Although this Meditation Method could not compare to Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, it was still one of the top cultivation methods on the continent, and its cultivation speed was quite fast.
Soul Power circulated through Lin Bei's body. With the help of the fire spring and ice spring, the medicinal power of the Blazing Apricot Flood and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass began to be absorbed.
Time passed bit by bit.
Lin Bei immersed himself in cultivation, feeling nothing of the passage of time in the outside world. He continuously used the power of the fire spring and ice spring to temper his body.
Under the terrifying power of ice and fire, Lin Bei's physical quality continued to rise.
Seven days later, Lin Bei felt that his physical quality had already risen to a limit. The power of ice and fire temporarily could no longer have much effect on him.
He opened his eyes. Under the influence of the power of ice and fire, his black pupils had become scarlet in the right eye and ice-blue in the left.
Then his body sprang upward. The calm fire spring and ice spring suddenly shook, and in the next second, a tall, solid figure leaped out of the spring water and landed on the shore.
Drip, drip...
Spring water slowly dripped to the ground.
As Lin Bei checked what realm his physical quality had reached, he took a set of clothes from his wrist guard and put them on.
"Demigod-level, huh..."
Seeing the level displayed on the panel, the corners of Lin Bei's mouth lifted slightly.
Good. He had come to the right place.
Without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, if his physique wanted to break through from Peerless Douluo Level to Demigod-level, it would probably have taken an extremely long time.
After advancing to Titled Douluo, relying solely on the simulator's Normal Simulation made both his soul power and physical condition increasingly difficult to improve.
It was not that the simulator, his cheat, was bad.
Rather, Normal Simulation made it far too easy to die right at the start. Even if he got lucky and survived, he never lived long each time, and the physical condition and soul power he gained were both extremely small.
As for the strength of his mental power, the level the simulation panel marked out for Lin Bei was Titled Douluo class.
Compared with improving his physique, improving his mental power was even harder.
Fortunately, every time Lin Bei absorbed a soul ring, he could also absorb the soul beast soul contained within it, and their Soul Power strengthened Lin Bei's mental power.
"It's time to leave..."
Lin Bei's gaze flicked toward the most eye-catching immortal herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
He planned to take this king of immortal herbs away and give it to Ning Rongrong as an apology gift—
After all, not contacting his fiancée for five years really was a little excessive.
Moreover, in the original work, the Aromatic Silk Beauty helped Ning Rongrong break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's flaw, evolving it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Lin Bei had always been very generous to his own people.
Let alone when Ning Rongrong was his fiancée.
Giving the Aromatic Silk Beauty to her was perfect.
Lin Bei put the Aromatic Silk Beauty into his wrist guard.
This Soul Tool Bibi Dong had given Lin Bei was not an ordinary Soul Tool. Like the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse Tang San obtained in the original work, it was a precious Soul Tool capable of storing living things.
As for the other immortal herbs, Lin Bei did not plan to take them away.
After all, his knowledge of medicinal herbs was practically zero, and for now he did not know how to make the best use of these immortal herbs. In that case, it was better to leave them here for the time being.
Once he had learned the relevant knowledge, it would not be too late to come back and take the other immortal herbs.
It was not as if they could run away.
Summoning the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword, Lin Bei used the Sword Control Technique, shot into the clouds, and flew toward Notting City.
Three days later, Lin Bei arrived in Notting City.
In Notting City, Lin Bei saw Old Adam and Mashuno.
Both old men were already quite advanced in years.
Old Adam in particular had more and more wrinkles on his face, and most of the teeth in his mouth had fallen out. When he saw Lin Bei, he was so excited he nearly fainted.
Lin Bei stayed in Notting City and kept Old Adam company for a week before setting out for Suotuo City.
He did not see Su Yuntao in Notting City.
According to Mashuno, Su Yuntao had already been promoted and was currently serving as Branch Hall Master in Fasinuo Province.
