This was Su Yuan's treasure! She had only borrowed it to make a breakthrough. How could she have used so much?
Looking at the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife in her palm, now a whole size smaller, Wang Xian'er could not help blushing.
Oh dear, this was a little embarrassing.
She could not control her instinctive actions while asleep. Sensing that vast life force, she had naturally begun absorbing and converting it, unable to stop at all.
Now that she had awakened and realized just how much life force she had used, even her two hundred years of experience could not keep her cheeks from burning.
"You only used that little?" Su Yuan, who had been inspecting his traits, instinctively blurted this out when he saw Wang Xian'er suddenly take out the gold of life.
"Huh?" Even Wang Xian'er was stunned.
What did he mean, "that little"?
This was pure life force in solid form! Even a tiny speck of powder or a stray shaving was an unimaginably precious treasure. She had used a whole third of it, yet to Su Yuan...
It was only "that little"?
"Xiao Yuan, do you not realize how precious it is?" Wang Xian'er could not help asking.
"No, I know. It helped you reach level 98, Sister Xian'er. There's no question how precious it is." Su Yuan shook his head, then went straight for the heart.
"I just think that if you're the one using it, Sister Xian'er, then so be it. As long as it helps you, I wouldn't mind even if you used all of it."
"Xiao Yuan, you..." The shame on Wang Xian'er's face turned into profound gratitude at Su Yuan's heartfelt words.
Su Yuan believed this was not the only piece of gold of life, and that he could find more elsewhere, so he was not particularly concerned. He was also sincerely willing to let Wang Xian'er use all of it.
Likewise, what Wang Xian'er heard in his words was his unreserved trust and sincerity toward her, without the slightest insincerity.
How could she not be moved?
"There's no need to refuse, Sister Xian'er. The carving knife is certainly a fine treasure, but it's precisely because it can be put to use that its worth becomes clear," Su Yuan said with a smile.
"If we know it's useful but never use it, how can its value ever be realized? To me, helping you break through to the limit as soon as possible is its greatest value."
So go ahead and use it without worry!
Once you've broken through to the limit, why worry about being unable to get that piece of gold of life inside the Golden Hawksbill Turtle?
Having a Limit Douluo powerhouse to lean on was far better than having a piece of gold of life he did not know how to use properly.
Su Yuan was assured of becoming a God King in twenty-two years, so he had no need for the longevity granted by the gold of life. And could the regenerative power gained by merging with it really offer more security than having a limit-level healer at his side?
Without the gold of life's assistance, however, Wang Xian'er would need at least another three to five years of consolidation before she could confidently attempt to reach the limit.
Su Yuan could make this trade with his eyes closed.
Time was money!
Before he had fully grown, the help of Wang Xian'er as a Limit Douluo would be the greatest asset of all!
"Xiao Yuan, thank you." Wang Xian'er's eyes reddened slightly as she reached out and hugged Su Yuan tightly.
Caught in her sudden embrace, Su Yuan stiffened for a moment. After a brief hesitation, he raised the hands resting at his sides and gently hugged her back.
They held each other for a long while before slowly lowering their arms.
Once Wang Xian'er had composed herself, her usual gentle smile returned.
"While I was in seclusion, Little Luo and Little Mo did well. They didn't presumptuously arrange a training plan for you, but they still gave you plenty of opportunities to hone yourself. That's very good," Wang Xian'er told Su Yuan after a moment's thought.
"Now that I've come out of seclusion, leave your upcoming training plan to me. I'll tailor a complete program for you and make sure you can grow quickly, Xiao Yuan."
"All right." Su Yuan nodded.
The first thing Wang Xian'er did was teach Su Yuan the top-tier meditation method she practiced.
While teaching him the meditation method, she also used her own Martial Soul as a foundation to draw life force from the gold of life, clearing Su Yuan's blocked meridians and nourishing them while using that immense life force to nurture his body.
This was why Luo Shan and the others had not taught Su Yuan Wang Xian'er's meditation method, even though they knew it themselves.
For his first session, Wang Xian'er had to personally guide him through the basics. Only then could he reap the greatest benefits.
Throughout the entire night, under Wang Xian'er's guidance, Su Yuan used the more advanced meditation method to alter the circulation routes of his Soul Power, using Soul Power and life force to open and nourish his meridians.
Wang Xian'er also poured a great quantity of life force from the gold of life into Su Yuan's body.
Even without Electrolux, and without merging the gold of life into his body, Su Yuan still experienced a baptism of its life force with Wang Xian'er's help.
After that night passed...
Su Yuan had successfully switched to the new meditation method, and with Wang Xian'er's help, every meridian in his body had been opened. His Soul Power Level rose by a full level, bringing him to the level thirty bottleneck.
He had thought he would need at least another month and a half to break through to this threshold, yet he had ultimately leveled up in a single night.
Naturally, the benefits of the gold of life did not end there.
As for his Innate Soul Power, the talent Su Yuan had raised to around innate level eight with two Mystic Water Pills improved once again, reaching innate level nine.
His physique and the resilience of his meridians had also improved at least threefold compared with before the baptism of life force.
By a conservative estimate, he should be able to absorb a Soul Ring of around four thousand years as his third Soul Ring.
For Su Yuan, too, this night could be described as shedding his old body and being reborn.
"I originally wanted to start drawing up your training plan today. I didn't expect your talent to be so good and your foundations so solid, Xiao Yuan. You actually broke straight through to level thirty." Wang Xian'er withdrew the hands pressed against Su Yuan's back, her voice tinged with delight.
"In that case, we can help you obtain your third Soul Ring first, then begin a training plan in stages!"
"Then I'll do as you say. Let's get my third Soul Ring first and discuss the rest afterward." Su Yuan did not refuse, leaving everything to Wang Xian'er's arrangements.
Wang Xian'er certainly understood cultivation better than he did. He could not go wrong listening to a seasoned veteran.
"All right, then. We'll make a few simple preparations and set off." A night spent helping him meditate had not left the slightest trace of fatigue on Wang Xian'er's face. She remained radiant and full of energy.
The two walked out of the room together.
After sending Mo Yunxing a voice transmission assigning him the task of preparing their daily necessities, Wang Xian'er took Su Yuan by the hand and went to breakfast.
Over breakfast, Wang Xian'er also asked Su Yuan about his ideas and plans for his future path.
"Xiao Yuan, you're a Soul Grandmaster now, and you've already acquired two Soul Skills. What are your first two Soul Skills? And what kind of Soul Skill are you planning to obtain with your third Soul Ring?"
