"Boss!"
"How did your Soul Hunting trip go?"
In the Meng residence, the moment Meng Qianqiu returned, his companions crowded around him, chattering as they asked how things had gone.
"Phew~"
"My Soul Hunting trip didn't disappoint."
"I've obtained my ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring!"
Meng Qianqiu pointed at the Manggu Vermilion Toad on his shoulder. Four miniature Soul Rings rose up, appearing beneath its feet.
Yellow, purple, purple, black!
Four Soul Rings slowly emerged!
"Gasp! It really is a ten-thousand-year fourth ring!"
Everyone grew excited at the sight of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. This was a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring-its significance was extraordinary.
"There's good news, and there's bad news!"
"On this Soul Hunting trip, I verified my theory!"
"But I discovered a rule. To absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, a Soul Master's spiritual power must reach the Spirit Sea Realm!"
Thanks to his rebirth, Meng Qianqiu's spiritual power was not low. Even before absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, his spiritual power had faintly touched the threshold of the Spirit Connection Realm, leaving him just one step away.
"Spiritual power? Spirit Sea Realm?"
Hearing this classification of spiritual power left Yue Guan utterly bewildered. He had never heard or seen anything of this theory.
"I've roughly divided spiritual power into five realms!"
"Ordinary people who haven't embarked on cultivation generally have spiritual power at the Spirit Origin Realm, the most basic level of spiritual power."
"The Spirit Origin Realm signifies the beginning of all things and the renewal of every manifestation."
"Above the Spirit Origin Realm is the Spirit Connection Realm. In this realm, the mind connects with the spiritual, and intent reaches wherever thought goes. This is where one begins to master spiritual power."
"Above the Spirit Connection Realm are the Spirit Sea Realm and the Spirit Abyss Realm."
"In the Spirit Sea Realm, the mind is like an ocean, vast and boundless. In the Spirit Abyss Realm, it is like an abyss, like a prison; from the azure heavens to the yellow springs, wherever thought reaches, all things submit to the mind."
"In theory, once their spiritual power breaks through to the Spirit Sea Realm, Soul Masters can absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and disregard spiritual impacts."
"Once their spiritual power breaks through to the Spirit Abyss Realm, they can absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings without injury, with no fear of spiritual attacks from hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts!"
"Of course, I'm talking about absolute certainty here!"
"Many Soul Masters whose spiritual power hasn't reached the Spirit Sea Realm can still absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings through sheer willpower."
"But their chances of success vary from person to person."
Meng Qianqiu explained these secrets in detail. Just as he had said before, the one thing this world never lacked was miracles!
"Then how do we improve our spiritual power?"
Yue Guan immediately spoke up, posing his question concisely.
"The only way to improve spiritual power is to practice meditation methods!"
"High-level meditation methods can temper a Soul Master's spiritual power. As Soul Masters carry out their daily cultivation, their spiritual power also slowly rises!"
"Moreover, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring has many other restrictions. When taking a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as your fourth ring, your choice of Soul Beast matters greatly."
"For instance, let's take you as an example, Yue Guan!"
"If you want to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, you must find a plant-type Soul Beast, preferably a chrysanthemum-type plant-type Soul Beast."
"Because your Martial Soul is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the king among flowers. It ranks among the immortal grade and possesses an extremely high standing, giving it an inherently invincible position and an extremely powerful suppressive effect on plant-type Soul Beasts."
"If you absorb an animal-type Soul Ring, that innate advantage will be gone. You must learn to make use of your Martial Soul's innate traits."
"What I just explained is the principle of mutual reinforcement!"
"The other principle is mutual generation and restraint. Use your Martial Soul's advantages to absorb Soul Rings with mutually generating or restraining relationships, thereby gaining an advantage."
"For example, Wang Zhan's Golden Light War Tiger and Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Snake King occupy the positions of apex predators in the Soul Beast Realm."
"They can draw on the theory of mutual generation and restraint to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, thereby weakening the spiritual impacts within those Soul Rings!"
"In other words, a rabbit could never bare its claws and fangs at a tiger or a snake king. Put that way, do you understand?"
Meng Qianqiu explained it all at length. Mutual reinforcement, mutual generation and restraint-these were also among the most important criteria for Soul Masters hunting Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
"I understand!"
A true teaching took a single sentence; a false teaching filled ten thousand books.
In just a few words, Meng Qianqiu had laid bare the mystery.
Everyone thought it over, then nodded. The theory was quite reasonable and sounded convincing.
"A while ago, I said I would put more resources into nurturing you. Now it's time for me to fulfill that promise."
Meng Qianqiu looked at the four of them and spoke.
"I won't allow you to reveal what happens next to anyone. If this leaks, the Meng Family will hold you strictly accountable!"
"Of course, don't be too shocked either!"
Meng Qianqiu slowly closed the door and spoke earnestly.
"What is it? Why all the secrecy?"
Wang Zhan grinned and joked, still unaware of just how important this matter was to them.
"Yue Guan!"
"This is what I have for you."
"Take it and absorb and refine it yourself. Don't go spreading word of it. I'm sure you understand its value."
Meng Qianqiu took out a jade box. Inside it lay a neutral immortal herb-the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!
"This is..."
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
Yue Guan slowly opened the jade box and immediately cried out involuntarily.
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?"
"Isn't that your Martial Soul, Yue Guan?"
"An immortal herb like that actually exists in this world? I always thought it was just a legendary marvel!"
Dugu Bo saw it clearly, and his entire worldview crumbled. This was a legendary immortal herb. How had Meng Qianqiu gotten his hands on it?
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is a neutral immortal-grade medicinal herb. Consuming it sends Qi through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, allowing one to forge an indestructible body of diamond."
"Eat the stamens first, then the petals. Don't eat the roots or stalk; keep them to plant later. This immortal herb will benefit you immensely!"
Meng Qianqiu looked at Yue Guan and spoke softly again.
"To repay my lord's favor upon the Golden Terrace, I would raise my jade dragon sword and die for him."
"My lord, since you have graciously accepted me, I, Yue Guan, am willing to serve you as faithfully as a hound or horse."
Yue Guan's heart was as clear as a polished mirror. This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum concerned his future and his potential for growth.
"After taking this immortal herb, with your aptitude, as long as you mature, you'll be able to cultivate to Limit Douluo in the future."
"If you encounter a great opportunity, you may even glimpse the demigod realm!"
Yue Guan's Martial Soul was already the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Now that he had also consumed a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it completed his Martial Soul's innate origin.
It could be said that Yue Guan would encounter no bottlenecks before Limit Douluo. As long as he accumulated enough, he could continue making breakthroughs.
"The demigod realm!"
Hearing those words filled everyone's hearts with boundless yearning!
Following the instructions, Yue Guan consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and his Soul Power rose from rank thirty-three to rank thirty-eight.
"Gasp~ My Soul Power actually increased by five ranks, just like that!"
After consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan felt refreshed and invigorated throughout his body. When he noticed the change in his Soul Power, he could not help exclaiming.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had increased Yue Guan's Soul Power by five ranks, saving him an entire year of arduous cultivation while also increasing his potential for growth.
This time, Yue Guan had truly hit the jackpot.
"Boss Meng, you can't favor one of us over the others!"
Wang Zhan spoke shamelessly from the side. Seeing this, the other three also looked eagerly at Meng Qianqiu, afraid there would be no share for them.
