Nine Suns Immortal Lotus, Nine Nether Ink Lotus

Su Yu broke through to Great Spirit Master, and the other six elders all sent their congratulations.

Su Yu knew his current strength was still insufficient, so he continued lying low in the Elder Palace to cultivate. He stayed there for a full four and a half years.

Four and a half years could change many things. Su Yu successfully reached Level 40 spirit power and, at the same time, nearly drove Bibi Dong mad.

Bibi Dong's plan to grasp hold of Su Yu's heart was about to reach its peak.

After breaking through Level 40, Su Yu quickly arrived at the Elder Palace.

"You've broken through Level 40. Little Yu, you're far ahead of others your age. At twelve, most people would probably still be hovering around Levels 25 or 26."

Today truly brought a tremendous surprise.

Little Yu had reached Level 40. Once he settled 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 improve my body a little more. That way, I can absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring."

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

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

"Little Yu, Grandpa fully supports your desire to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, but you should absorb a Spirit Bone first. Whatever holy-attribute Spirit Bone you want, Grandpa can help you acquire it."

To absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, absorbing 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.

Still worried, Qian Daoliu raised a hand and placed it on Su Yu's shoulder, beginning to examine his physical condition.

Damn!

This physique and these bones were nearly on par with a Spirit King.

How had Little Yu cultivated himself like this? It completely defied common sense.

In truth, when Su Yu broke through to Spirit Venerable, he had triggered a reward option and received a Radiant Holy Body Pill, as well as the first 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 point where they can withstand a ten-thousand-year spirit ring."

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

Spirit Hall had deep reserves, but there seemed to be very few Spirit Bones suitable for Su Yu. If they happened to obtain a suitable Spirit Bone, 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.

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

"He broke through to Spirit Ancestor!"

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

Bibi Dong fell into deep thought.

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

"He stays holed up in the Elder Palace every day. Can't he come out?"

Bibi Dong's heart burned with impatience.

A few days ago, her inability to catch Su Yu had nearly driven her mad. She could not even rest properly.

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

Bibi Dong turned toward her chambers and began considering countermeasures.

Elsewhere, after some traveling, the group soon arrived in 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.

Should he find Dugu Bo, tell him about his poisoning, and have him lead them there?

Su Yu had no such plans. Not only was that cumbersome, but it would also waste a great deal of time. He was already in the Elder Palace, not someone who had just walked out of Holy Spirit Village.

There was no need to follow that process.

Next, Su Yu walked in front while Qian Daoliu followed behind.

The two wandered around nearby, hoping 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 that ahead. What is it?"

Qian Daoliu looked in the direction Su Yu pointed and saw a cloud of poisonous miasma ahead, with waves of toxins permeating the surroundings.

"Poisonous miasma?"

Qian Daoliu frowned.

This did not seem naturally formed.

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

"Grandpa Qian, why don't we go in and take a look? They say strange occurrences often hide something extraordinary. 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 using Angel Barrier.

These toxins posed a threat to some spirit masters, but to him, they were practically ineffective.

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

The deeper they went, the more Qian Daoliu sensed that something was off about the surrounding temperature.

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

"There is actually a place like this here."

Seeing the scene before him, Qian Daoliu found the surrounding environment exceptionally peculiar, with countless strange flowers and exotic plants growing there.

"Immortal Herbs! They really exist!"

Su Yu exclaimed in delight.

"Little Yu, you recognize these things?" Qian Daoliu froze for a moment.

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

Su Yu explained what had happened.

Qian Daoliu knew about this matter.

Unexpectedly, Yue Guan possessed books documenting such things.

What a fortunate coincidence today was.

They had actually encountered these Immortal Herbs.

They must possess extraordinary qualities.

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

Qian Daoliu said.

Su Yu nodded and began searching nearby for Immortal Herbs suitable for himself.

After searching the area, he quickly found two Immortal Herbs suitable for 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 carried the two Immortal Herbs over to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu looked at the Immortal Herbs in Su Yu's hands. The first was a golden lotus with nine petals, radiating an intensely yang aura.

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

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

"Little Yu, are you sure there won't be any problems?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"There won't be. It's just that while absorbing them, I'll need Grandpa Qian to stand guard and help mediate the conflict."

Su Yu said.

"Alright."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

Su Yu began by consuming the first Immortal Herb. Its tyrannical, intensely yang power instantly erupted within him and rampaged through his body.

Next, he swallowed the second Immortal Herb, allowing its powerful dark-attribute energy to enter his body.

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

The Angel Scripture possessed harmonizing properties. With Qian Daoliu's assistance as well, the process would not be overly difficult. Yet at that very moment, Su Yu's consciousness suddenly faded into darkness.
