The Two Girls' Plans

Lu Xuan's search was not based solely on visual observation; rather, he activated the power of [Peach-Bamboo God Imprisonment] to control the Soul Beast and have them search for targets that met the criteria.

Just like now, he still commands more than twenty flying-type thousand-year-old Soul Beast. These Soul Beast traverse various parts of Sunset Forest, searching for the targets he desires.

Lu Xuan would contact them one by one every day to inquire whether they had found any suitable traces of Soul Beast that day.

If a perfect Soul Ring hasn't been found under these circumstances, it can only mean that there truly aren't any here!

"Then let's go to the Star Dou Forest!" Dugu Bo said confidently, "As long as the target is there, I will definitely get it for you!"

"The Star Dou Forest is indeed a better place." Lu Xuan nodded slightly and said, "There are many kinds of Soul Beast there, so it will be much easier to find suitable Soul Ring for Yanyan and Lingling."

"How about we wait until Xiao Xuan breaks through Level 50 before setting off together?" Zhao Yan suggested. "Xiao Xuan is already level 49, and he should be able to reach Level 50 soon."

"It will probably take about another month." Lu Xuan estimated his progress. In a little over a month, once he had absorbed all the remaining power of the Divine Black Jade Bamboo in his body, he would be able to successfully break through to Level 50.

Lu Xuan said, "However, my Fifth Soul Ring is not in the Star Dou Forest."

"Not in Star Dou?" Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback and asked, "Could it be that you have already found your target in Sunset Forest?"

"The target is the Frozen Forest to the north," Lu Xuan explained slowly. "I have my eye on the Mirror Shadow Beast."

Dugu Bo had heard of the Mirror Shadow Beast before, but only knew it was a Mental Attribute Soul Beast. Since Lu Xuan had chosen it as his target, he was naturally willing to accompany him.

"Grandpa Dugu, why don't we head to the Star Dou Forest first?" Lu Xuan suggested. "Let's help Yanyan and Lingling obtain their Soul Ring there first. By the time we return, I should be able to break through to Level 50."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lingling, who had been meditating nearby, stood up and said softly, "Why don't we go with Brother Lu Xuan to the Frozen Forest Frozen Forest to search for them first? The Soul Beast that Yanyan and I need might also exist there. If we can find them there, it will save us a trip, wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Upon hearing Ye Lingling's suggestion, Lu Xuan hesitated only for a moment before replying, "The Green Phosphorus Scorpion that Yanyan wants can indeed be found near the Frozen Forest."

He turned to look at Ye Lingling, his tone tinged with helplessness. "But Lingling, you're different. The Fourth Soul Ring you need isn't easy to find over there."

"How could that be? The kind of Soul Ring I want is actually the easiest to find!" Ye Lingling blinked and said seriously, "Brother Lu Xuan, those candidates you picked out for me before, like the Blue Silver King and the Tree of Life, might also have traces in the Frozen Forest area, right?"

"You previously said that the Blue Silver King was only a last resort, and that we might find an even better fit there!"

Lu Xuan couldn't be sure if Fourth Soul Ring suitable for Ye Lingling existed in the Frozen Forest, but he immediately understood the girl's thoughts; she wanted to accompany him to obtain the Soul Ring first.

"Lingling is such a sweet little girl." Zhao Yan looked at his daughter without a doubt and teased with a smile, "Lingling must want to spend more time with me on my journey back home, right?"

"Ah, right, right!" Dugu Yan chimed in, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Dugu Bo. "Grandpa, you've been away for months. Lingling and I aren't in a hurry to absorb our Fourth Soul Ring. Wouldn't it be better if our family spent more time together and had a proper reunion?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lu Xuan and urged him righteously, "You should focus on your cultivation! Don't fall behind. If you haven't broken through yet, it will delay everyone's schedule!"

Upon hearing the two girls' words, not only did Lu Xuan instantly understand their hidden meaning, but the elders Dugu Bo and Zhao Yan also saw through it at a glance.

The two exchanged a glance, feeling both amused and exasperated, but neither pointed it out nor offered any rebuttal.

"Then so be it." Lu Xuan looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and smiled helplessly, "Since that's the case, I'll calm down and continue my arduous cultivation for a while."

Ye Lingling's eyes darted around, revealing a clever and obedient look. She spoke softly, "Brother Lu Xuan, you can stay here and focus on your cultivation. Don't worry about us."

"Focus on reaching Level 50 first, then send us back now," she continued. "Before you break through to become Quasi-Soul King, we'd like to take this time to reunite with our families and rest for a few days."

Seeing this, Lu Xuan glanced at Dugu Bo and Zhao Yan beside him. Seeing that the two elders both looked tacitly approving with gentle smiles in their eyes, he completely put aside his concerns.

"I understand." He replied with a helpless yet indulgent tone, and immediately activated his ability to take Dugu Bo, Zhao Yan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling into his [Spiritual Space].

The next second, with a swift movement and the ultimate spatial Teleportation power, he sped directly towards the direction of Heaven Dou City.

In the blink of an eye, the group arrived safely Heaven Dou City. Lu Xuan released the four of them and then went forward to exchange pleasantries and bid a simple farewell to his master and several elders.

He didn't linger, but after acquiring ample cultivation supplies and daily necessities, he turned around and returned to his cultivation grounds alone, preparing to quietly cultivate and break through the Level 50 bottleneck.

"You two little girls~"

After Lu Xuan set off to return for intensive cultivation, Ye Renxin turned to look at Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, a half-smile playing on her lips, and slowly asked, "Tell me, are you plotting something?"

"Grandpa, we weren't plotting anything!" Ye Lingling gently shook her head and softly replied, "Brother Lu Xuan said that after he becomes Soul King, he'll take me and Yanyan out for a stroll!"

"Exactly!" Dugu Yan nodded repeatedly from the side, speaking in a crisp voice, "Lu Xuan is now capable of protecting himself, and we don't have any other important matters to attend to right now, so it's a good time for us to go out and train together."

"How old are you, already thinking about going out to gain experience?" Dugu Bo, who always doted on his granddaughters, gently advised, "Why don't you wait until you reach the Soul Emperor realm before setting off? With your foundation, it won't take you more than a few years to become Soul Emperor."

"But once we become Soul Emperor, where will we find places worth training? Are we going to deliberately seek out Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to fight, or provoke the Lower Four Sects?" Dugu Yan immediately shook her head and retorted, "Grandpa, Lingling and I are already Quasi-Soul Ancestor. After absorbing our Fourth Soul Ring, our cultivation will at least be stable at level 43. With our combined strength, even if we face Soul Emperor, we might not be without a fighting chance."

Ye Lingling, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, softly adding, "What's more, after Brother Lu Xuan breaks through to Soul King, his strength will only increase, giving him the confidence to directly confront Soul Douluo. Add to that his extraordinary spatial survival techniques, and even Titled Douluo couldn't stop him!"

She looked up at her two elders, her tone soft yet firm. "With Brother Lu Xuan leading us on this trip, there's absolutely no need to worry about our safety. What else could you possibly be concerned about?"
