God-Given Spirit Ring

Jiang Xuan had no idea what exactly the people inside the main hall discussed.

However, after the agreed quarter of an hour had passed, Chen Xin emerged from the hall with a dark expression, and Jiang Xuan's system panel showed no notification that the rebate had arrived.

From this, Jiang Xuan guessed that their conversation had probably been rather unpleasant.

But that had nothing to do with him. After all, in this incident, his role was merely that of a pitiful and innocent junior.

"All right, there's nothing for you to do in the sect for now. Go wherever you want, kid. You've grown up in the blink of an eye. It's time for you to gain some experience on your own. Remember to stay safe. If you encounter a powerful enemy, don't try to show off. Keeping yourself alive comes first."

Hearing Chen Xin's advice, Jiang Xuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Senior. I'll definitely take good care of myself. Rongrong's side effects are still waiting for me to come back and deal with them!"

The moment he said that, Chen Xin clearly seemed about to say something more. But when the words reached her lips, she seemed to have some reservations and forcibly swallowed them back down.

While waiting for Chen Xin to emerge from the main hall, Jiang Xuan had been thinking about where he should go after leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He did have a way to resolve the side effects caused by the pills, but if he wanted to refine the medicine capable of removing those side effects, gathering the materials would be the first problem.

After all, the first thing that pill needed to do was reverse the power of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Law carried by the Eight Trigrams Furnace martial soul!

There was absolutely no way ordinary medicinal herbs could produce such a pill. At the very least, he needed several of those legendary immortal herbs as the main ingredients.

In the present-day Douluo Continent, those immortal herbs seemed to all be concentrated near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

And the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was currently the territory of that old poisoner, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Should he risk offending that old poisoner and go stock up on goods in his territory?

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing him up, even if he truly provoked that old bastard, he presumably would not dare take Jiang Xuan's life.

Besides, that old poisoner did not guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every day. Maybe Jiang Xuan would get lucky, and the old poisoner would happen to be away when he got there.

After giving it serious thought, Jiang Xuan decided that he ought to be a little bolder.

But before officially setting out, he decided to first find a safe place and convert those 10,000 Merit Points into his own strength as soon as possible.

Thus, after leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Jiang Xuan found a nearby city, casually rented a superior room with the Gold Soul Coins on him, and directly locked himself inside.

When Chen Xin, who had secretly followed him, saw this, she was puzzled but did not think much of it.

Perhaps the child was simply tired and wanted to rest first?

That was right. Chen Xin had followed him.

Faced with the two choices she had given them, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong went through a difficult discussion, but in the end, the two old fellows still could not overcome that hurdle in their hearts.

Becoming women was simply unacceptable to them.

And with Chen Xin's personality of always following through on her words, she naturally would not give the two of them any room to negotiate.

It just so happened that Jiang Xuan wanted to leave the sect. She could take the opportunity to follow him, protect him in secret, and avoid the spotlight herself.

She had already decided that unless she could return to her original form, or those two old fellows became the same as her, she would never return to the sect!

Unless the sect faced a catastrophic disaster...

Inside the room, after regulating his breathing for a moment, Jiang Xuan opened the system panel and first spent 600 Merit Points to raise his Soul Power Level from level 27 to level 30 in one go.

It had taken Jiang Xuan three years to raise his Soul Power from level 10 to level 22.

Yet now, he had gone from level 22 to level 30 in just one day!

Sure enough, spending points once felt great; spending points continuously felt even better!

And that was not all.

After his Soul Power reached level 30, a new prompt appeared on the system panel:

[It has been detected that the host's cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Would you like to spend 2,000 Merit Points to exchange for one God-Given Spirit Ring?]

A God-Given Spirit Ring!

If Jiang Xuan remembered correctly, after using a God-Given Spirit Ring, the soul skill it granted would not only perfectly match the characteristics of the martial soul, but the Soul Ring's age would also equal the maximum limit his current Soul Power Level could withstand!

He still had plenty of Merit Points left. Exchanging a mere 2,000 Merit Points for a God-Given Spirit Ring was an absolute bargain!

With that thought, Jiang Xuan no longer hesitated. He directly selected the exchange and chose to use it immediately.

The next moment, a warm current spread throughout his entire body, and his Eight Trigrams Furnace martial soul appeared.

Jiang Xuan could clearly see that a third Soul Ring had already appeared around his Eight Trigrams Furnace martial soul.

At first, it was white.

As time passed, it quickly turned yellow, then purple.

Only then did Jiang Xuan begin to feel some of the pressure the Soul Ring exerted on him.

Fortunately, the pressure was still completely within the range he could bear.

In this era, soul masters' development of their bodies could only be considered to have just begun.

The vast majority of soul masters could barely absorb a thousand-year third Soul Ring. Even Tang San, the original protagonist with cheats, could only barely absorb a 2,000-year Man Faced Demon Spider as his third Soul Ring.

Yet in Jiang Xuan's perception, the God-Given Spirit Ring had already reached the level of two thousand years, but it was still far from reaching the limit his body could endure.

Perhaps his Twin Martial Souls, which were supreme innate spiritual treasures, had greatly strengthened his body over time. Or perhaps there was another reason he had yet to discover.

But at this moment, that was not important.

What Jiang Xuan cared about most was exactly how many years his third Soul Ring could endure.

Three thousand years, three thousand five hundred years, four thousand years...

The age of his third Soul Ring had already reached twice that of Tang San's, yet it still had not reached Jiang Xuan's limit.

"My physical body is actually this strong?"

In Jiang Xuan's initial estimate, he would already have been satisfied if his third Soul Ring could reach around three thousand years. Yet before he knew it, the Soul Ring's age had already reached six thousand years!

Although Jiang Xuan's body was already under tremendous pressure, a sudden intuition arose within him.

It seemed that if he gritted his teeth and held on a little longer, his third Soul Ring might have a chance to reach ten thousand years!

A ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring would be five times stronger than that cheating Little Wimp's!

Most importantly, once a Soul Ring reached ten thousand years, it underwent a qualitative transformation. Its strength was on an entirely different level from a thousand-year Soul Ring.

For example, although a 9,999-year Soul Ring was only one year short of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the power of the soul skills they provided to soul masters could differ by as much as threefold!

A thousand was a thousand, ten thousand was ten thousand. Ten thousand and a thousand were worlds apart, with strict ranks between them!

Since he had an opportunity to challenge a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, Jiang Xuan naturally had to fight for it with everything he had.

But even if he truly could not endure it in the end, it would not matter.

As long as he was not too far from ten thousand years, he could simply use Merit Points to raise it later!
