Inside the master bedroom on the second floor.
Toji sat cross-legged on the soft bed and took out the rare and precious materials given to him by Xu Tianran from his Storage Soul Tool.
Rare materials such as Grade Nine Dragon Blood Ginseng, Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Jade Marrow, and Earth Core Fire Lotus were laid out one by one, and rich spiritual energy instantly filled the entire room.
Then, take out the last of the rare and precious herbs that Du Busi had left and gather them all together.
During this month, he continuously practiced extreme body-tempering techniques, which allowed him to break through to level 58 at the fastest speed, but he also suffered many hidden injuries in his body.
"Sigh, if my cultivation were stronger and my physical fitness improved a bit more, maybe I could carry mountains to train my body later on. Right now, it's too much of a strain..."
I felt Toji regretful.
"You're going to refine all of these at once?" Di Qiu'er, who was peeking out from the doorway with curiosity, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw this scene.
"Are you crazy? These rare and precious materials are at least eight thousand years old. If you refine them all together, even Titled Douluo couldn't withstand the energy contained within."
"Isn't this perfect?" Toji said matter-of-factly. "Let's see if we can reach level 59 in one go. After we reach level 60, we'll head to the Far North and see if we can snag any loot."
"Is your target Ice Empress or Snow Empress?" Di Qiu'er asked. "If it's Ice Empress, the success rate is very low. Even with me here, at most she won't hurt you..."
"As you know, the plot will develop later. The Snow Empress will find a snow lotus with a cultivation of 100,000 years, and she will use this rare treasure to try to cultivate back into human form..."
"Then along the way, she will encounter a human who has ventured deep into the Core Circle of the Far North, and he will seal her inside the Level 9 Soul Tool, the God Sealing Altar."
"Do you think we can take this opportunity to rescue her and then get her to agree to become my Wisdom Soul Ring?"
"The timeline is quite early. By the time she finds the snow lotus, you'll already be level 60," Di Qiu'er pondered. "However, I can improve her luck so she can find the snow lotus sooner, and also help humanity develop the God Sealing Altar as soon as possible, advancing the plot to the point where you break through level 60."
" Auspicious Beast is indeed Auspicious Beast; it controls destiny and is omnipotent." Toji gave her a thumbs up.
"It's just a pity that I can't control my own destiny, otherwise I wouldn't need to cooperate with you." Di Qiu'er snorted.
"Let me remind you, the success rate for both Ice Empress and Snow Empress is quite low. What's more, they are both among the Ten Great Ferocious Beast, with cultivation levels exceeding 300,000 years. Even if they agree to become your Wisdom Soul Ring, it's hard to say whether your body can withstand it."
Toji was about to retort when Di Qiu'er interrupted her again, "No matter how extraordinary your physique is compared to others your age, this matter is still very risky no matter what. Have you thought it through?"
"If all else fails, I'll just honestly absorb a stronger Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for my Sixth Soul Ring, or find a one- Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"Wanting opportunities while worrying about your Life safety, wanting this and wanting that, is there anything perfect in this world?" Toji answered without hesitation.
"Because of the unique nature of my Martial Soul, my cultivation speed is already very slow. In another ten years or so, Huo Yuhao will have fully matured and reached Level 99, almost becoming a god. I estimate I'll only have reached the Soul Saint level by then. Do you think I'm willing to accept such an outcome?"
"But you're already very strong now. With your set of Level 7 Soul Tool, even Soul Douluo wouldn't be your match. Once you become Soul Saint, you'll be one of the strongest people in the world. I bet even Limit Douluo wouldn't want to fight you." Di Qiu'er continued to dissuade her.
"There's no need to push yourself so hard. Only by cultivating steadily until you reach the Titled Douluo will you have a chance to become a god in body. Don't forget, you've already taken the first step; this can't be rushed."
"You Soul Beast have longer lifespans than us humans, so of course you can take your time. But we humans, even if we cultivate to the Limit Douluo level, will only live to around three hundred years old at most." Toji shook his head. "If I cultivate steadily all the way, I'm afraid I'll only barely reach Level 99 before I die."
"Mastering the Snow Empress or Ice Empress earlier would be extremely beneficial to me, and my cultivation speed would also increase. You don't need to try to persuade me otherwise; my mind is made up."
"Hmph, you can't reason with a damned fool." Di Qiu'er said no more.
"Are you worried about me?" Toji quickly replied, "I'm quite touched."
"What do you mean, 'care'? If you die, what will I do?" Di Qiu'er pulled her head back, closed the door, and said no more.
"Tsk."
Toji smacked his lips and then turned his gaze back to the array of rare and precious herbs.
"Here we go."
He took a deep breath and began to absorb these rare and precious materials into his body, and then refined them.
A violent surge of energy erupted within his body, causing his blood vessels to bulge and strange blood-red patterns to appear on the surface of his device.
Di Qiu'er stood outside the door, sensing the sudden surge of energy fluctuations inside the room, her golden eyes narrowed slightly.
"This guy... he's really courting death."
This almost suicidal method of body tempering is something even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, known for its formidable physique, wouldn't dare attempt.
"Roar!!!"
A roar that didn't sound like a human's burst from inside the house, startling Di Qiu'er.
Why is this guy shouting so loudly?
The most terrifying thing is that, centered on the bedroom, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly converged wildly, forming a huge energy vortex!
Di Qiu'er was already used to it:
"Here we go again..."
In the courtyard, Shanggong Wei'er's round fan fell to the ground with a thud.
She looked up at the sky, her pretty face filled with shock.
As night fell, countless points of light, like rivers flowing into the sea, all surged toward the bedroom.
A gust of wind whipped her long hair, and the energy fluctuations made even this Eight-Ring Soul Douluo feel a chill.
"Did... did he do this?"
She had witnessed the breakthrough of Titled Douluo, but she had never seen such a terrifying celestial phenomenon!
What's even more terrifying is that this energy was purely attracted by some source, without any fluctuation of Soul Power.
"No wonder he needed an extremely quiet place to stay. Luckily, I arranged for him to stay at my house... otherwise, he probably would have caused an even bigger commotion."
Shanggong Wei'er secretly rejoiced, but at the same time felt a little flustered:
"What kind of monster is he...?"
Inside the bedroom, the energy storm reached its peak.
Toji's body floated in mid-air, enveloped in dazzling golden light.
The newly formed panel was as clear as glass, and the muscle lines were as perfect as if sculpted by a master craftsman.
When the last bit of energy was completely absorbed, a cracking sound came from within the body, as if some kind of shackle had been broken, and a powerful aura swept out.
Toji landed slowly, opened his eyes, and golden light flowed in them, as if a god had descended to earth.
"Level 59..." He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him. "Finally, I've succeeded, but all those rare and precious materials were wasted... Sigh, what a waste. The resources that would have been enough for anyone else to cultivate from Soul Emperor to Soul Douluo, but for me, it only got me one level up."
"The internal injuries have healed somewhat, not bad, not bad."
While Toji was checking her physical condition, Di Qiu'er, seeing that it was over, pushed open the door and quickly walked in.
When she was three steps away from him, Di Qiu'er suddenly stopped and narrowed her eyes.
At this moment, Toji exuded a suffocating pressure, like an ancient Ferocious Beast that had just awakened.
"It worked?"
Toji he turned to look at her, the oppressive aura vanished instantly.
"Thanks to your protection."
Just as they finished speaking, footsteps sounded, catching their attention.
