"Dong'er, don't absorb this Soul Ring just yet." Lin Xuanchen looked at Wang Dong'er with a gentle smile. "Let me make a few preparations first!"
"Mm-hmm!" Wang Dong'er had no complaints whatsoever about what Lin Xuanchen was doing and obediently nodded her little head.
In Wang Dong'er's eyes, Lin Xuanchen was her sky.
Without Lin Xuanchen, she would probably still have been a level 20 Soul Grandmaster, not the level 40 Soul Ancestor she was now, much less someone about to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"Elder Yi, Elder Yi, sorry to trouble you, but could you help me with something?" After a moment's consideration, Lin Xuanchen called out to Electrolux in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Hehe, you want this old man to help your little girlfriend absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring she earned in battle, don't you?" Before long, Electrolux's aged laughter rang out in Lin Xuanchen's Sea of Consciousness.
"Yes, Elder Yi." Seeing that Electrolux had already seen through his intentions, Lin Xuanchen made no attempt to hide them and readily admitted it.
"Elder Yi, sorry for the trouble, but I'd like you to place four seals on the energy of that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring outside," Lin Xuanchen said with a faint smile.
"That Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring outside is actually around a hundred and twenty thousand years old. All you need to do is place four seals on it, each containing thirty thousand years' worth of energy," Lin Xuanchen explained slowly.
"That way, I can let Dong'er successfully absorb this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring," Lin Xuanchen continued.
"Not a bad idea." Electrolux smiled faintly. "Leave the rest to this old man, then."
"Thank you, Elder Yi!" Lin Xuanchen hurriedly thanked him when he agreed.
"Think nothing of it," Electrolux said casually. "This old man has lived in your Sea of Consciousness for so long. Doing a little something within my power is hardly a bother."
With that, Electrolux transformed into a streak of gray light and flew out of Lin Xuanchen's Sea of Consciousness into the outside world.
"Seal!"
Once outside, Electrolux uttered just one word before forcefully stamping the staff in his hand against the air!
As Electrolux brought his staff down, streams of gray runes peeled away from it and settled firmly onto the blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring before him.
"Hum!"
In an instant, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring shuddered violently. Then its red glow gradually faded, growing considerably dimmer.
Having finished, Electrolux returned to Lin Xuanchen's Sea of Consciousness.
"Dong'er, it's ready. You can absorb it now." Lin Xuanchen lightly tapped his Storage Ring and took out a jade bottle.
"Dong'er, the pill inside can help you absorb the Soul Ring's energy faster. Go ahead and absorb it now." Lin Xuanchen took Wang Dong'er's slender, delicate hand and pressed the jade bottle into it with a warm smile.
"A-Chen, thank you!" Wang Dong'er glanced at the jade bottle in her palm, a lovely smile spreading across her delicate, fair face.
"Why are you still thanking me? You're already mine." Lin Xuanchen reached out and pinched Wang Dong'er's soft little cheek, smiling. "All right, go absorb your Soul Ring."
"Mm-hmm!" Wang Dong'er nodded, tipped the pill out of the jade bottle, and swallowed it. Then she sat cross-legged and drew the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring over her slender body.
Lin Xuanchen was quite confident that Wang Dong'er could absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as her fourth Soul Ring.
With the Dawn-Burning Golden Lotus's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring divided into four portions, each averaging thirty thousand years' worth of energy, Wang Dong'er could manage it.
Even setting aside the physical improvements from the pills Wang Dong'er regularly took, the strength she gained from their battles alone was enough to support absorbing this divided Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Lin Xuanchen's battles with Wang Dong'er were not merely an outlet for desire. Every collision during their battles improved their physical constitutions to some degree.
In other words, even if the Soul Ring's energy were divided into three portions of forty thousand years each, Wang Dong'er could still have absorbed it successfully.
As for the Dawn-Burning Golden Lotus's Soul Shock, there was even less reason to worry. After taking the Soul Restoration Pill, Wang Dong'er had refined Tang San's fragment of divine consciousness.
Her spiritual power had even drawn infinitely close to the level of a Limit Douluo. With spiritual power like that backing her, wouldn't handling a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast's Soul Shock be as easy as reaching out and taking it?
Seeing that Wang Dong'er had begun absorbing the Soul Ring, Lin Xuanchen used the time to extract the Dawn-Burning Golden Lotus's Soul Bone from his corpse.
Then Lin Xuanchen refined the Dawn Radiance Lotus Marrow he had previously dug out of the Dawn-Burning Golden Lotus into a Sixth-Grade Pill—the Golden Lotus Marrow Essence Pill!
Naturally, this pill was for Wang Dong'er. Lin Xuanchen had already promised her that he would raise her ordinary light attribute to the level of Ultimate Light.
By the time Lin Xuanchen finished all this, Wang Dong'er's Soul Ring absorption was nearing its end, and her soul power level was soaring as though riding a rocket...
"Level 41."
"Level 42."
"Level 43."
"Level 44."
"Level 45."
"Level 46."
"Level 47."
"Level 48."
"Level 49."
"Level 50."
Finally, Wang Dong'er's soul power level stopped rising only after reaching level 50, the same as Lin Xuanchen's.
"Mmh~"
Feeling the warm, abundant soul power within her, Wang Dong'er could not help letting out an alluring little moan.
"Level 50! Now I can get my fifth Soul Ring!" Sensing that her soul power had reached another bottleneck, Wang Dong'er's beautiful face lit up with excitement.
"How do you feel?" Lin Xuanchen came up behind Wang Dong'er and stroked her little head, smiling.
"A-Chen! Wonderful! I can get my fifth Soul Ring now!" Wang Dong'er threw herself straight into Lin Xuanchen's arms and exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe." Lin Xuanchen chuckled. "There's no hurry to get your fifth Soul Ring. Before that, absorb this Soul Bone first."
"This Soul Bone came from the same Soul Beast as the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring you just absorbed. It's a left arm bone. Go ahead and absorb it now."
Lin Xuanchen lightly tapped his Storage Ring, took out the Dawn-Burning Golden Lotus's Soul Bone, and spoke with a smile.
