The Best Age to Strive Is in Your Seventies or Eighties

The more Dugu Lin thought about it, the more excited he became. Wasn't his cheat ability a little too overpowered?

Douluo Continent was just the bottom tier of fantasy worlds!

If he casually drew a Ginseng Fruit, wouldn't he be able to crush the Five God Kings directly?

Becoming a god and founding a lineage was just around the corner!

Dugu Lin shared his idea, and Dugu Bo remained stunned for over half an hour before coming back to his senses. Then he suddenly remembered his grandson mentioning that he had eaten another Immortal Herb and hurriedly asked, "Lin'er, what's your Soul Power Level now?"

"Level 20."

Speaking of Soul Power Level, Dugu Lin felt that after absorbing a Soul Ring, his Soul Power probably would not increase much. He could sense a clear conflict between the medicinal effects of the Aromatic Silk Beauty and the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. As a result, his Soul Power had only risen from level 15 to level 20.

Just five levels of Soul Power in the Soul Master realm!

The Aromatic Silk Beauty had lost at least twenty percent of its medicinal effect!

Fortunately, the evolution of his Second Spirit had not been affected. Otherwise, Dugu Lin would have regretted eating the Aromatic Silk Beauty too early. He would treat that lost Soul Power as the price of temptation and learn from this mistake!

"Level 20 already!"

After his surprise, Dugu Bo quickly asked, "Then are you going to obtain your second Soul Ring now?"

"Let's wait. My Soul Power has surged too quickly, so I should stabilize it for a while first. I can also wait for Sister. Once she resolves the flaw in her Martial Soul, we can obtain Soul Rings together."

"That's fine. Your Soul Power Level has indeed risen too quickly! It would be better to slow down, or it may affect your foundation!"

Then, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Dugu Lin and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent cultivated at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for an entire month. Only after completely mastering their surging Soul Power did they return to Heaven Dou City.

"Little brother, I'm at level 16 Soul Power! Impressive, right?"

When Dugu Yan heard that her younger brother had returned, she skipped all the way back from the junior Soul Master Academy.

Over these days, Dugu Yan had eaten two pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber and over ten pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber. That was how she had consecutively increased her Soul Power by two levels in only about a month and a half. Moreover, her physical strength was already enough to absorb a Soul Ring over five thousand years old! One could imagine just how much Whale Rubber she had eaten.

"Wow, Sister, you're amazing!"

Dugu Lin concealed the fact that he was already level 20 and appropriately revealed an admiring look, making Dugu Yan's pride practically soar into the sky.

"Hehe~~ Little brother, I brought you lots of delicious food. Come with me."

"Mm-hmm."

"Here~ This is the spicy rabbit head you said you liked last time. Come and try it."

"Sister, you're so good to me." Dugu Lin pretended to be an obedient little brother.

"Little brother, summon Little Lin, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. Let's see whether it eats spicy rabbit head."

"Hiss hiss~~" Little Lin, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, appeared. It flicked its tongue at the spicy rabbit head, then shook its head to indicate that it would not eat it.

Dugu Yan said disappointedly, "Alright, then the two of us can eat it."

Dugu Bo, who was drinking tea in the pavilion, watched his grandson and granddaughter secretly share spicy rabbit head with a gratified expression. For a moment, he was overwhelmed with emotion. He had never expected to one day enjoy such simple family happiness with such ease of mind.

After dealing with his silly sister and even dragging the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul into it, Dugu Lin came to the pavilion.

"Grandpa, I've been thinking recently. Before Tang San became a god, something called pills suddenly appeared among the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master army."

After thinking about it for so long, Dugu Lin decided to have his grandfather start researching the art of alchemy now. Dugu Lin himself was only good at talking; he could only hope that his grandfather would become successful. Seventy or eighty was precisely the best age to strive!

"Pills?"

Dugu Bo frowned slightly. He only knew about medicinal pellets and medicinal baths.

"They're pills that can directly raise any Soul Master's Soul Power by one level!"

"Such a thing exists?"

Dugu Lin continued bluffing. "Grandpa, these pills are completely different from the ordinary medicinal pellets sold on the market."

Dugu Bo nodded. "Pills that can raise Soul Power Levels are indeed unheard of."

"Grandpa, I only know the principles behind refining these pills. I'll explain them to you in detail, and you can see whether you can refine them."

"Alright!"

"First, it is said that refining pills requires a medicine cauldron."

"A medicine cauldron? What kind of medicine cauldron?"

"It's just a cauldron, with three legs and two handles."

"Mm, Lin'er, continue."

"Second, use Soul Power to control the intensity and temperature of the flames, refining the essence from every medicinal herb without leaving even a trace of impurity."

"What else?"

"After that, match the medicinal herbs according to their respective properties, then gradually fuse all the refined medicinal liquid essences into pills."

"Alright, then Grandpa will try it first."

Full of anticipation, Dugu Bo found a medicine cauldron and entered the cultivation room.

Dugu Lin was not optimistic about this. He knew it would be impossible in the short term. If alchemy were truly so simple, Douluo Continent would not have gone so long without a single pill appearing.

Sure enough!

The next day, Dugu Bo emerged with a dark expression.

"How did it go, Grandpa?"

"No. They were all burned to ashes by the flames."

Upon hearing that, Dugu Lin frowned. "It should be because your use of Soul Power is too crude. How about this, Grandpa? Let's first train our control over Soul Power."

"Control over Soul Power?"

A moment later.

Dugu Lin stood in the courtyard with Soul Power covering both hands. He pressed his hands against a tree, intending to create a pulling force with his Soul Power so he could hang from the tree.

As he demonstrated, he explained, "Grandpa, Soul Power is a very wondrous thing. So I was thinking, can we make Soul Power produce a pulling force so that we can hang from trees directly without relying on any external force? Or... gather Soul Power beneath our feet to create a pulling force, allowing our feet to stick to the trunk. Then we could walk sideways along trees, or even hang upside down. Another method would be to use Soul Power as a thread and pass it through some complicated, narrow passage."

There were many methods to practice precise control over supernatural power. However, Dugu Lin only knew these two clumsy methods.

"Can that work? Is this also a cultivation method Tang San proposed when he became a god?"

Dugu Bo asked with a frown.

"I came up with it myself. Grandpa, let's give it a try."

"Then let's try it."

Another half month passed.

Dugu Bo ran nimbly up the trunk of a massive tree. Then he abruptly stopped and stood sideways on the trunk.

Below the tree, Dugu Lin stared blankly at Dugu Bo overhead and thought bitterly, I'm not useless. It's only because a Title Douluo's spiritual power is stronger, so he cultivated faster than me!

Dugu Yan, who had just returned home, happened to see this scene. Her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "Wow~ Grandpa! You're amazing! Teach me, teach me!"

Dugu Bo jumped down from the trunk and laughed heartily as he stroked his beard. "Hahaha~~ Grandpa will teach you in a moment."

He felt rather proud of being admired by his granddaughter.

"Mm-hmm!"

Dugu Yan nodded obediently.

Then Dugu Bo asked, "Lin'er, what about that water-walking cultivation method you mentioned?"

"Water-walking means gathering Soul Power beneath the feet and making it produce a repulsive force, allowing us to stand on water, even run and fight on it."

"Alright, I'll try that too."
