第33章 蕈兽魂灵

Lan Yu wanted to create the Spirit Spirits that only appeared during the era of The Peerless Tang Clan.

It was just that he did not need spirit beasts; Fungus Beasts were enough.

Lan Yu forcefully cleared all of Lina's meridians with the Mycelium Network, and also poured her spirit power rank up to rank 10.

This also required Bifulong to have strengthened her body beforehand, otherwise it could not be done at all, and her body could not have withstood it.

The final step, whether it succeeds or fails depends on this one attempt.

After spending a bit more time, the sky was about to grow bright, and a black spirit ring finally appeared around Lina's body.

"Phew... it finally succeeded. It's a bit more troublesome than anticipated, but practice makes perfect. With the path cleared, it will be much simpler from now on."

Lan Yu withdrew the mycelium, and Lina also regained consciousness.

Looking at the black spirit ring at her feet, Lina's face revealed an expression of astonishment.

"I really became a Soul Master?!"

At this time, Lina also sensed the existence of a spirit spirit. Lina's spirit spirit was a Floating Anemo Fungus.

Lina's martial soul had likewise been endowed with the wind attribute.

"Lord Sage, what is this?"

"It is your spirit spirit. With it, you won't need to hunt spirits in the future. When you break through, the spirit spirit will bestow a new spirit ring upon you."

"Ah? Can it even be like this?"

Actually, it was not that simple. When a Fungus Spirit Spirit bestowed a spirit ring upon someone, it depended firstly on the person's own physical fitness, and secondly on being within the coverage area of Lan Yu's Mycelium Network.

After all, energy would not be generated out of thin air, and condensing a spirit ring for someone consumed the spirit power reserves within the Mycelium Network.

"You are my first successful experimental subject, and in the future, I will also promote this system to the entire Soul Master world."

Hearing these words, the gaze Lina now cast at Lan Yu was already filled with adoration.

"Lord Sage, I believe you will definitely succeed. Whatever you need me to do, even climbing a mountain of blades or plunging into a sea of fire, I will not decline."

"Hehe, your strength is still too weak right now, and you can't do anything. Hurry up and cultivate; this is what you should be doing."

"Yes, Lord Sage!"

Afterward, Lan Yu brought Lina back to the Botanical Academy. When Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong saw Lan Yu bring back a cat woman, both of them looked at her with strange expressions.

"Does our Lord Sage like cats this much? You already have this cat Zhuqing, and yet you still brought back a cat woman."

"Rongrong, what are you saying?"

Zhu Zhuqing gave Ning Rongrong an unamused glare.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Her name is Lina. She was originally a commodity meant to be auctioned off, and the Sage Lord of Fungi saved her, so I brought her back."

Lina exchanged greetings with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also grew serious, feeling somewhat sympathetic toward her plight.

"How is your training going?"

"Everyone has been training very hard. We have basically mastered the power bestowed by the Sage Lord, and we've also learned some close-quarters combat methods."

Lan Yu glanced at Zhu Zhuqing. "You're about to break through rank 40, aren't you."

"Mm, I can break through rank 40 in these next few days, and I've already planned to go hunt a spirit."

"Then I came back just in time. Follow me."

Lan Yu brought Zhu Zhuqing into a room, telling Lina and Ning Rongrong to watch outside and not let anyone disturb them.

Once the door closed, Ning Rongrong could not suppress her curiosity.

"Lina, what do you think they're going to do? Could it be... hehe!"

Ning Rongrong's smile carried a hint of lewdness.

"Definitely not. Lord Sage is going to bestow a spirit spirit upon her."

"A spirit spirit? What is that?"

"It's this."

Lina summoned her spirit ring, and the Floating Anemo Fungus serving as her spirit spirit also appeared.

"Huh? Your first spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year one!"

"I originally had no spirit power, and it was Lord Sage who allowed me to become a Soul Master."

"This spirit spirit is just like the one perched on top of Zhuqing's martial soul's head, huh? Are you also wind attribute?"

"Mm, I was also bestowed with the wind attribute."

"What is the use of this spirit spirit?"

Ning Rongrong reached out and poked the Floating Anemo Fungus, and the Floating Anemo Fungus dove straight back into Lina's spirit ring.

"Lord Sage said it can bestow a spirit ring upon me when I make a breakthrough."

"What! Bestow a spirit ring! This spirit ring of yours was bestowed by this spirit spirit?"

"Mm, I think it's very magical."

"This is way beyond magical; this is going to subvert the existing Soul Master system!"

As the eldest young miss of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Rongrong still possessed knowledge and understood what the emergence of spirit spirits truly meant.

Before long, Lan Yu and Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the room.

Ning Rongrong hurried over and asked, "Zhuqing, you have a spirit spirit too?"

"Huh? You already knew?"

"Mm, Lina said so. Hurry and summon it out for me to see."

Zhu Zhuqing's spirit spirit was the Floating Anemo Fungus perched on her martial soul. After becoming a spirit spirit, it had also become somewhat more lively.

Zhu Zhuqing had also successfully broken through rank 40, and the fourth ring bestowed by the spirit spirit was naturally a black ten-thousand-year one.

Watching this, Ning Rongrong felt somewhat envious.

"So amazing. What is your fourth spirit ability? Is it strong?"

"My fourth spirit ability: Cross Gale Claw. It is a wide-range attack spirit ability. I'll demonstrate it for you."

Zhu Zhuqing leaped into midair, waved her sharp claws, and two massive wind blades slashed across each other downward, leaving two deep fissures in the ground.

Ning Rongrong completely gave up at this point. She ran to Lan Yu's side and stared fixedly at him.

"You promised me that you would help me break through the shackles of my martial soul. You cannot go back on your word, you cannot be biased, and you cannot favor one over the other. I want a spirit spirit too, I want one too..."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong even grabbed Lan Yu's clothes and shook them.

"Stop! I didn't say I wouldn't help you. Come inside with me."

"Yay! I knew you were the best!"

In her excitement, Ning Rongrong directly kissed Lan Yu on the cheek.

Realizing what she had just done, Ning Rongrong's complexion instantly turned beet red.

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at her with a teasing expression.

"Ah...!"

Ning Rongrong let out a cry, hauled Lan Yu into the room, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

"Hahahahaha..."

Zhu Zhuqing could no longer hold it in and burst into full laughter.

Inside the room, once Ning Rongrong calmed down, Lan Yu handed a drop of essence dew from the fungified Tulip of Immortality to Ning Rongrong.

"What is this?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just eat it."

"Oh!"

After Ning Rongrong consumed the essence dew, Lan Yu began to modify her martial soul. By the time Ning Rongrong opened her eyes again, the modification was already complete.

Ning Rongrong impatiently summoned her own martial soul, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda truly transformed into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Nine! It really is nine floors! The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda! That's great! That's great! Huh? Why is there something inside my pagoda?"

"Hehe, feel it carefully."

"Turns out it's my spirit spirit! What is its name?"

"Stretch Geo Fungus. It bestows upon you the power to use the Geo Element."

After trying it out slightly, Ning Rongrong used the Geo Element to condense a layer of defensive barrier.

"Mm, your talent is good. There are other directions for you to develop the Geo Element, for instance... Geo Constructs."
