Upon seeing Tang San wake up, Oscar and Ma Hongjun excitedly rushed over and hugged him, as if they wanted to repay him with their bodies. Tang San was so frightened that he hurriedly used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the two of them.
Zhu Zhuqing then came to Qi Ling's side and whispered to him, "Thank you, Qi Ling. This flower is perfect for me. Not only has it improved my strength, but I feel that I've also improved in many other aspects."
Zhu Zhuqing's improvement this time was also enormous. Although it was already very difficult for her to increase her Soul Power because she possessed Amethyst Soul Ring, she still managed to break through to level 39, making her the second highest Soul Power Level among everyone.
Qi Ling then asked her with a smile, "Why did you put away that Charm feeling you had just given me? I thought you were quite nice like that too."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and said even more softly, "If you want to see, I can let you see! From now on, I'll only let you see it..."
Before Qi Ling could react, Zhu Zhuqing had already nimbly walked away like a cat, Qi Ling with nothing but a helpless smile.
Over the next few days, everyone continued their cultivation in the wooden house, refining the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb and consolidating Immortal Herb benefits it brought them. This step was essential for everyone.
To ensure the smooth running of this process, Flender had meals delivered to them daily, and Zhao Wuji and Lu Qibin, the two teachers, were assigned to guard them and ensure that no one would be disturbed.
As for Qi Ling, the only one who didn't absorb the Immortal Herb, he became the most idle one, and could only accompany everyone to meditate and cultivate every day.
On this day, as Qi Ling was heading to the wooden house, a green figure suddenly blocked his way. Dugu Bo he hadn't seen for several days, who appeared before him and said, "Kid, what have you been up to all this time?"
"Busy absorbing the Immortal Herb I snatched from you! Of course, I have to thank you for that, old man!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
Dugu Bo said nonchalantly, "Those herbs are useless to me anyway! Let's go, I came here to see you anyway. Yanyan is here to see you, I need to take you to see her!"
"Huh? Yan... Dugu Yan is here? What does she want with me?" Qi Ling asked, puzzled.
"After Yanyan went back, she broke through to level 40 not long after, so I plan to take her hunting for her Fourth Soul Ring," Dugu Bo said. "This girl heard from someone that you know a lot about Soul Beast, so she insisted on asking for your opinion."
Qi Ling wasn't surprised that Dugu Yan had reached level 40, and it was a very wise choice for her to ask for her opinion.
After all, for ordinary Soul Master, it is already extremely difficult to find a suitable Soul Ring, let alone be picky. But with Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, around, getting any Soul Ring from any Soul Beast is a piece of cake.
Upon arriving at Dugu Bo's residence, Dugu Yan was already waiting there. Seeing Qi Ling, she excitedly rushed over, like a young girl in love, exclaiming, " Qi Ling! It's been so long! I missed you so much!"
"Mmm, mmm, okay," Qi Ling could only give a perfunctory reply, feeling Dugu Bo's piercing gaze, letting Dugu Yan cling to him without daring to move an inch.
Although Dugu Bo was determined to bring Qi Ling and Dugu Yan together, Dugu Bo still had mixed feelings when he saw his beloved granddaughter in another man's arms.
"I heard you've reached level 40, congratulations!" Qi Ling said to Dugu Yan after she got off him.
"Yes, I have to thank you for this, Qi Ling," Dugu Yan said with a smile. "I came here specifically to hear your thoughts on my Fourth Soul Ring. What Soul Ring do you think I should absorb?"
" Senior Dugu Bo's research on poison is unparalleled, and Yanyan, your Martial Soul is primarily based on poison. Why don't you ask Senior Dugu for advice?" Qi Ling flattered Dugu Bo.
Hearing Qi Ling say this about him, Dugu Bo immediately said smugly, "Yes, Yanyan, I told you long ago, Grandpa knows far more than this kid, there's no need for him at all."
"I don't believe it. Grandpa clearly knows fewer people than Qi Ling does," Dugu Yan said. " Qi Ling, why don't you give me your opinion?"
Despite Dugu Bo's repeated protests, Dugu Yan insisted on having Qi Ling advise her. So Qi Ling had no choice but to say helplessly, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you my opinion, just for your reference."
" Yanyan, your first three Soul Ring have the abilities of Poison of Excitement, Poison of Paralysis, and Jade Phosphor Purple Poison, two support Soul Skill and one crowd control skill. So, for your fourth Soul Skill, I suggest you continue to enhance your control abilities and increase the attack power of the poison," Qi Ling said.
"To achieve these two things, we need to find Soul Beast that can satisfy both requirements, namely control and potent poison! And such Soul Beast must also match the characteristics of your Martial Soul, Yanyan. I can only think of about thirty kinds for now."
Next, Qi Ling gave a general introduction to the thirty types of Soul Beast to the two of them, and explained in detail the advantages and disadvantages of each choice.
"Of these Soul Beast, I particularly recommend three," Qi Ling continued.
"The first is the Paralysis Landmine Spider; the second is the Deadly Poison Sword Water Fish; the third is the Willow Leaf Centipede! Finding any one of these three Soul Beast will allow you to hunt them down, and they will significantly enhance Yanyan's abilities!"
After listening to Qi Ling's speech, not only Dugu Yan but also Dugu Bo were shocked. He did not expect that Qi Ling actually knew so much about Soul Beast; she was practically omniscient.
More importantly, he can deduce the characteristics of these Soul Beast ' Soul Ring and Soul Skill based on their features. This is unheard of, and even Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, who is hailed as the number one theorist in the Soul Master World, probably cannot do this.
"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older, Qi Ling. I underestimated you. In the study of Soul Beast, I am indeed inferior to you!" Dugu Bo.
Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed in a lovesick manner, " Qi Ling, you're so amazing! I knew it, you're the best no matter where you are!"
"So-so, third in the world," Qi Ling said modestly.
"I never expected you, Qi Ling, to be so knowledgeable! In that case, I think that matter might not be impossible!" Dugu Bo nodded and said with a smile.
"What is it? What is it?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing! In fact, this was originally one of the main reasons why Yanyan came to me. Now, you're in luck!" Dugu Bo laughed.
Qi Ling looked at Dugu Bo's sinister smile and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart. She cautiously said, "Old man, you wouldn't be plotting against me, would you?"
"Hehe, how could that be? Do I look like that kind of person?" Dugu Bo said, laughing like a weasel that had just stolen a chicken.
