"I am staying at Tianshui Hotel near the city center."
Lin Ye then said,
"If I change my lodging, I will find a way to notify Senior."
"Very well."
Dugu Bo agreed cleanly and decisively.
Then he turned and glanced at Dugu Yan.
"Yanyan, did you hear that? Come find him once every month from now on."
"I know, I know."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, but she did not refute this time.
After all, she truly could not bear to give up the sensation of unobstructed meridians from just now.
Dugu Bo said no more and turned his back.
"Kid, this old man will take his leave first."
He paused and looked back at Lin Ye again.
"Lin Ye..."
Dugu Bo repeated those two words, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"Kid, live well and do not let this old man down."
As his voice fell, he placed one hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder.
"It is time to go, Yanyan, do you not still have a match tomorrow?"
Seeing Dugu Bo leave, Dugu Yan quickly matched his pace.
However,
after taking only a few steps, Dugu Yan suddenly stopped,
and looked back at Lin Ye.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.
In the end, she only squeezed out a single sentence.
"Hey, six-year-old."
"Hmm?"
"...Thank you."
Dugu Yan's voice was very soft. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned her head and caught up to Dugu Bo's stride.
Then their figures flashed, and two afterimages instantly swept into the night sky.
At this moment, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well returned to silence.
That pale green barrier slowly dissipated with Dugu Bo's departure.
Lin Ye stood in place, weighing the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch and Storage Jade Pendant in his embrace.
"Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, Storage Jade Pendant, two hundred gold soul coins, two pieces of century-year whale glue, one piece of thousand-year whale glue, a pile of top-tier Immortal Herbs, plus the protection of a Titled Douluo."
He looked up at the horizon, where the belly of the fish was gradually turning white.
This wave is an absolute victory.
However,
there was an even more important matter at hand right now.
Lin Ye then retrieved the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum from the jade pendant.
The golden light was exceptionally dazzling in the night, and the massive flower stem emitted extremely dense life energy.
"The spiritual power issue is resolved, and next is the foundation of the physical body."
Lin Ye did not hesitate, directly stuffing the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum into his mouth.
Use it early, be awesome early!
However,
the moment the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum entered his mouth, a medicinal potency of ultimate intensity instantly exploded in his stomach.
Unlike the Autumnwater Dew that rushed straight to the crown of his head,
this energy was like a raging fire, pouring straight down his limbs and bones along his meridians.
His muscles were being scorched.
His bones were being forged.
His meridians were being stretched wide.
Every inch of his meridians, every single blood vessel,
It felt as though he were being repeatedly cast in molten iron.
"Hiss--"
Lin Ye clenched his teeth tightly.
If the Autumnwater Dew was like ice picks chiseling the brain, then the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a blazing fire consuming the body.
The pain spread outward from deep within his bone marrow, accompanied by the tearing sensation of his physical flesh being forcibly reshaped.
Yet Lin Ye did not utter a single sound.
He was simply seen sitting cross-legged the entire time beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, guiding that violent surge of life energy to scour through his body over and over again.
Time ticked away second by second,
not knowing how long had passed.
The sky had already shifted from pitch black to grayish blue.
A trace of fish-belly white appeared on the eastern horizon, and the first ray of morning sunlight fell upon Lin Ye's shoulder.
At this moment,
that last shred of medicinal potency from the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was finally and completely absorbed.
Then Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes,
feeling the changes that had occurred in his body.
The first sensation was lightness.
His body was indescribably light.
It was not a floating lightness, but rather that sense of handling heaviness as if it were light once his power had reached absolute fullness.
He slowly clenched his fist,
crack!
A crisp, explosive sound came from his joints.
That sound was completely different from before.
Previously it had been the sound of bone joints rubbing together, but now it sounded more like colliding steel.
"Good grief."
Lin Ye lowered his gaze to glance at his own arm.
The muscle lines did not undergo much external change, but the texture was entirely different.
Pressing down with a finger, it was as hard as an iron slab.
Next, he shifted his attention inward.
Soul Power,
his Soul Power had actually broken through!
Level 28.
Level 29.
Level 30!
Lin Ye's breathing instantly grew hurried.
Level 30!
His Soul Power had actually broken through directly from level 28 to level 30!
"As expected of an immortal herb, the effect of the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is truly heaven-defying."
What surprised him even more, however, was that after breaking through to level 30,
the Soul Power within his body remained extremely abundant.
That swollen sensation of being on the verge of overflowing told him that
this was merely the foundation being laid well, and he was still a long way from the ceiling.
In other words, once he obtained his third spirit ring, his Soul Power would certainly be able to continue rising!
"Level 30."
Lin Ye gripped his fist tightly, feeling the surging power within his body.
Level 30, which was the threshold of a Soul Elder.
Yet even though he had reached level 30 now, he still did not possess a third spirit ring.
On Douro Continent, every time a spirit master's Soul Power broke through a ten-level threshold, they had to acquire a new spirit ring before they could continue improving.
In other words,
without obtaining a third spirit ring, his Soul Power would remain stuck at level 30.
Following that, Lin Ye sensed his Spiritual Power once more.
Shocked,
his spiritual power's detection range expanded significantly once again.
The reinforcement of Autumnwater Dew combined with Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's consolidation of his bodily foundation,
under this double blessing...
his spiritual power had reached an extremely exaggerated level.
Precision, breadth, and depth are all comprehensively enhanced.
Then Lin Ye closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual power.
Five hundred meters.
A perception range of a full five hundred meters!
He could even clearly "see" the trajectory of a dead leaf drifting down from a treetop four hundred meters away.
This spiritual power level...
has already stepped into the Soul King tier.
Lin Ye muttered to himself, unable to suppress the excitement in his tone.
A Level 30 soul master possessing Soul King-level spiritual power.
What did this mean?
It meant that in spiritual power cultivation, he was at least two major realms ahead of soul masters of the same rank.
At the same time, the precision of his Devour skill would be higher, his perception range broader, and his reaction speed in battle faster.
Because of this,
Level 30 soul power and Soul King-level spiritual power.
coupled with double thousand-year spirit rings and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's innate skill Devour,
his comprehensive combat strength now was probably no longer something that could be described by the four words "leapfrog challenge."
But this was still not enough.
Level 30 without a Third Spirit Ring is just a semi-finished product.
Lin Ye stood up and stretched his limbs, which were slightly sore and swollen after being scoured by the medicinal power.
At this moment,
the morning sun had completely risen, and the golden light dyed the entire Sunset Forest in warm colors.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was red and blue in the morning light, quiet as a painting.
Unexpectedly,
he had actually spent a whole night at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The big kitty should still be cultivating or resting at the inn at this moment,
so there was no need to worry for now.
Lin Ye took one last look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and said calmly,
"The Immortal Herbs are taken, the poison is cleared, and the soul power has also broken through Level 30."
"Next, it's time to go obtain the Third Spirit Ring!"
