Nine Suns Immortal Lotus, Nine Nether Ink Lotus

Su Yu broke through to Soul Grandmaster, and the other six worshippers all came to offer their congratulations.

Su Yu knew his current strength was still insufficient, so he continued keeping a low profile and cultivating in the Worship Hall. He remained there for a full four and a half years.

Four and a half years could change many things. Su Yu successfully reached Level 40 Soul Power, and, as it happened, he was also close to driving Bibi Dong mad.

Bibi Dong's plan to seize Su Yu's heart was about to reach its peak.

After breaking through to Level 40, Su Yu soon arrived at the Worship Hall.

"You've broken through Level 40. Xiao Yu, you're far ahead of your peers. At twelve, the others are probably still hovering around Level 25 or 26."

Today truly was a tremendous surprise.

Now that Xiao Yu had reached Level 40, once he obtained his Fourth Spirit Ring, it would be time for him to go out and see the world.

"Grandpa Qian, before hunting for my Fourth Spirit Ring, I want to strengthen my body further. That way, I can absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Rather than absorbing a Spirit Bone, he had set his sights on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Over this period, he had already studied the terrain map of Sunset Forest and roughly pinpointed the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. With the poisonous miasma Dugu Bo had set up as a marker, finding it would not be difficult.

"Xiao Yu, I fully support you absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but you need to absorb a Spirit Bone first. Whatever holy-attribute Spirit Bone you want, Grandpa can help you obtain it."

To absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, taking in a Spirit Bone was the safest and most suitable choice.

"No need, Grandpa Qian. I've tempered my body before, so I think I can give it a try." Su Yu rejected Qian Daoliu's suggestion.

Qian Daoliu was still somewhat worried. He raised a hand and placed it on Su Yu's shoulder, beginning to inspect his physical condition.

Damn!

His physique and bones were nearly on par with a Spirit King's.

How had Xiao Yu cultivated himself to this extent? It completely defied common sense.

In truth, when Su Yu broke through to Soul Elder, he had triggered an option reward and received a Radiant Holy Body Pill, as well as the Upper Volume of the Angel Scripture.

"Grandpa Qian, how is it?"

Su Yu asked with a smile.

"Of course you can. Your bones have already reached the level needed to withstand a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Qian Daoliu naturally agreed. Since Su Yu did not choose to absorb a Spirit Bone, perhaps he was hoping to encounter a suitable one?

Spirit Hall had deep reserves, but there seemed to be very few Spirit Bones suited to Su Yu. If they happened to obtain one that suited him, that would naturally be even better.

"Let's go to Sunset Forest."

Su Yu suggested.

"Alright."

Qian Daoliu agreed and immediately took Su Yu to Sunset Forest.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong had just finished handling the documents. On her way back to her chambers from Pope Palace, she suddenly stopped and watched Qian Daoliu leave.

"He broke through to Soul Ancestor!"

How long had it been since his last breakthrough to Soul Elder? Su Yu was even younger than Nana. How had he achieved such talent and cultivation speed?

Bibi Dong sank into thought.

Even she had not reached such a level at Su Yu's age.

"Can't he come out instead of hiding in the Worship Hall every day?"

Bibi Dong felt a surge of heat in her heart.

A few days ago, being unable to catch Su Yu had nearly driven her mad. She had not even been able to rest properly.

"No, I need to think of a way to lure him out."

Bibi Dong turned and headed for her chambers, beginning to consider a strategy.

On the other side, after a stretch of travel, the group soon arrived within Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest was not comparable to Star Dou Great Forest.

Finding a suitable Spirit Beast might indeed take some time.

Su Yu had naturally come to Sunset Forest with a purpose: to have Qian Daoliu accompany him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Have him find Dugu Bo, tell him about the poisoning, and let him bring them here?

Su Yu had no such plans. It would not only be troublesome, but also a tremendous waste of time. He was already in the Worship Hall, not setting out from Holy Spirit Village.

There was no need to go through that process.

Next, Su Yu walked ahead while Qian Daoliu followed behind.

The two wandered through the area, wondering whether they might get lucky and encounter a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast.

As they walked, Su Yu suddenly stopped and feigned surprise. "Grandpa Qian, look at what that is ahead."

Qian Daoliu followed the direction of Su Yu's finger and saw a cloud of poisonous miasma ahead, with waves of toxins permeating the surrounding area.

"Poisonous miasma?"

Qian Daoliu frowned.

This sort of method did not seem naturally formed.

No wonder there were no Spirit Beasts nearby. They did not dare approach.

"Grandpa Qian, why don't we go in and take a look? They say that where something is abnormal, there must be something strange. Maybe there's some treasure inside?"

Su Yu suggested.

"That makes sense."

Qian Daoliu praised Su Yu's idea, immediately took his hand, and entered while using Angel Barrier.

These toxins posed a threat to some Soul Masters, but to him, they were practically ineffective.

After passing through the poisonous miasma, Su Yu and Qian Daoliu stepped into the valley.

The deeper they went, the more Qian Daoliu could sense that the surrounding temperature was somewhat abnormal.

After some exploration, the two arrived before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"There's actually a place like this here."

Qian Daoliu looked at the scene before him. The surrounding environment was exceptionally peculiar, and countless strange flowers and exotic plants grew there.

"Immortal Herbs! I didn't expect there really to be some!"

Su Yu exclaimed in delight.

"Xiao Yu, you recognize these things?" Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment.

"Grandpa Qian, I wanted to study some herbal knowledge before, so I asked Grandpa Azure Luan to look for it. It seemed he found a book with records of them from Yue Guan."

Su Yu explained what had happened.

Qian Daoliu, however, knew about this matter.

"I never expected Yue Guan to have a book that recorded such things."

What a fortunate coincidence today was.

They had actually encountered these Immortal Herbs.

They surely possessed extraordinary properties.

"Xiao Yu, since you recognize these Immortal Herbs, see whether there are any you can consume."

Qian Daoliu said.

Su Yu nodded and began looking around for Immortal Herbs suitable for himself.

He searched the area and soon found two Immortal Herbs that suited him.

The first was the Nine Suns Immortal Lotus, and the second was the Nine Nether Ink Lotus.

"Grandpa Qian, I found them. These two."

Su Yu brought the two Immortal Herbs before Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu examined the herbs in Su Yu's hands. The first was a golden lotus with nine petals, radiating an aura of utmost yang.

The second was a black lotus. Opposite to the first, it possessed an immensely powerful dark-attribute force.

"The Nine Suns Immortal Lotus and the Nine Nether Ink Lotus." Su Yu named the Immortal Herbs.

"Xiao Yu, are you sure there won't be a problem?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"There won't be. I just need Grandpa Qian to stand guard for me while I absorb them and help regulate the conflict."

Su Yu said.

"Alright."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

Su Yu began by consuming the first Immortal Herb. Its tyrannical utmost-yang power erupted within him in an instant, rampaging wildly through his body.

Next, he swallowed the second Immortal Herb, and the powerful energy of its dark attribute entered his body.

Su Yu immediately sat down to absorb them, using the Nine Suns Divine Skill and the Angel Scripture he had learned to regulate the conflict within his body.

The Angel Scripture possessed harmonizing effects. Combined with Qian Daoliu's help, the process would not be too difficult. Yet at that very moment, Su Yu's consciousness suddenly grew dizzy, and he passed out.
