"I've never seen such a drug before..." Ning Fengzhi sighed in awe, staring at the azure jade-like pill like it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in the last few years. Some spirit bones even pale in comparison to this drug.
After all, this pill could cleanse one's marrows and meridians and improve one's talents. With all that benefit, Ning Fengzhi also deduces that one's spirit rank might increase by one level or more after consumption.
Although only those below Spirit Grandmaster Realm could consume this pill, Ning Fengzhi wants it even more because he has a lovely daughter who got her 1st spirit ring not too long ago.
It's a perfect coincidence.
Wait, coincidence?
Ning Fengzhi became sober and stared at Han Yuan solemnly. 'Hoh, I lost my composure for a second there. He is this young and already acted like a fox.'
'I should take this as a lesson not to look down on young people.'
After this self-thinking, Ning Fengzhi looked at Han Yuan with even more appreciation.
Unknown to Ning Fengzhi, it's indeed just a coincidence.
Han Yuan purely wanted to sell the "Mystic Water Pill" he cooked with Sky Poison Pearl at a high price. Then, he can dominate the market with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and use it as a shield while keeping a "safe" position for a decent amount of time.
Han Yuan knew he couldn't be protected forever, but five to ten years were more than enough for him to become strong.
Another good point is that Qian Renxue is here!
With Qian Renxue's overconfidence, she must have felt she was in control of everything and could have put Han Yuan on a leash by cultivating good feelings between them, not realizing she was dancing on his palm.
Han Yuan checked Xua Qinghe's expression and saw a hint of happiness in those formerly dignified eyes, causing him to laugh like a maniac in his heart. 'Hahaha, that's it! Be more comfortable, comfortable that you're lucky to find me here! Comfortable enough to bring me to your side!'
Han Yuan's gamble was a success.
Ning Fengzhi suddenly closed the wooden box and said, "Xiao Yuan, name your price."
"Senior, you know my price already." Han Yuan stubbornly shook his head like the child he was. "I want the Heart Separating Control."
"Besides, we have more than a Mystic Water Pill..."
"Wait, you mean you have more medicine like a Mystic Water Pill?" Gu Rong was in disbelief.
Han Yuan nodded, "Mm."
"Senior Ning, Senior Gu, and Brother Crown Prince should have known about my abnormal spirit ring configuration, right?" As he said that, he summoned the Purple Silver Grass, and three spirit rings, deep yellow, pale purple, and deep purple, hovered above the stone table.
Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) already knew about Han Yuan's unorthodox spirit ring configuration, but seeing it themselves gave them a completely different feel.
From the brightness of each spirit ring, they knew Han Yuan absorbed spirit rings above normal age from the beginning of his cultivation, which is not like the report stated.
Someone lied to make Yu Tianheng's loss appear not as horrible as it was.
"The first spirit ring is already nearing 1,000 years old because there are some purple hues on the ring."
"The second spirit ring is above 2,000 years old, between 2,400 and 2,600 years."
"As for the third spirit ring, it's 5,000 years old. There is no mistake because the intensity of the light is similar to the limit Spirit Ancestor could absorb..."
"Genius. You're indeed a genius, Xiao Yuan." Ning Fengzhi praised generously.
"Almost every seasoned spirit master on the Douluo Continent knew one could absorb an older spirit ring with a stronger physique. Yet, learning from ancestral teaching and mistakes, no one dared to attempt it anymore, creating the absorbing limit we know today."
"Above all else, it's not worth it to waste time on training physique after awakening martial souls because children only have 14 years of the golden age to cultivate themselves until their potential solidifies."
"It's better for young spirit masters to absorb proper spirit rings and gain an all-round boost from the spirit ring's origin to speed up cultivation while they are in their golden age."
"Spirit masters are racing against time."
"You're right, Senior." Han Yuan nodded. "Time is indeed why most spirit masters don't bother to cultivate their physique and rely on the spirit ring's energy to strengthen themselves."
"I found no problem with such thinking."
"However, what if there is something that can temper one's physique without hindering normal cultivation?"
"A drug, or should I say medicinal bath?"
Han Yuan suddenly pulled a jade bottle and placed it on the table, "Let me introduce you to product number two, Foundation Building Liquid."
"The Foundation Building Liquid is a medicinal bath packet made of many materials and herbs. You can dissolve it in warm water and then use it to temper your physique."
"However, as the name implies, it's only for building foundations. You still need to train your physique, then use it afterward."
"There is also a limit to this medicinal bath as you can only reach the boundary of Spirit Elder's physique."
"Spirit Elder's physique..." Ning Fengzhi pondered briefly. "It's good enough."
"If a level ten spirit master can temper their physique to the level of Spirit Elder, it's possible to absorb a 1,300-year-old spirit ring as their first spirit ring."
"We just don't know how long it took."
"It depends on martial souls and the intensity of training." Han Yuan gave Ning Fengzhi a thoughtful look. "Spirit masters with beast-type martial souls, especially strength attributes, can train longer and achieve more effect."
"Even then, I don't recommend overtraining, or it might lead to internal injury instead."
"From data of Dao Academy's students, one must undergo at least six months training or more to absorb a 1,000-year-old spirit ring." He lied casually. After all, the red-grade students only need one month.
"I want all of your stocks!" Ning Fengzhi said solemnly, ready to throw his golden card at Han Yuan. "I can give you the Heart Separation Control tomorrow."
Han Yuan smiled, "Calm down, senior."
"Before that, why don't I tell you my goal?"
'Fengzhi...' Gu Rong held Ning Fengzhi's shoulder and told him to calm down with his spiritual power, which didn't go unnoticed by Han Yuan.
Ning Fengzhi chuckled in his heart, 'I'm fine, Uncle Bone. My loss of composure is part of my plan.'
'After all, I couldn't possibly let the golden egg-laying goose escape easily?'
'It's good that you know.' Gu Rong sighed in relief. For a second there, he thought Ning Fengzhi would throw his dignity away.
Ning Fengzhi adjusted his breathing and drank his tea, "Okay, let's listen to what goal you have currently, Xiao Yuan."
"But calling me Senior all the time sounds stiff."
"Call me Uncle instead."
Han Yuan looked stunned for a second before nodding, "Then, Uncle Ning, I will tell you my goal."
"I want to make history!"
"Oh, making history? What do you mean by that exactly, Xiao Yuan?" Xue Qinghe, who silently observed Han Yuan all this time, finally spoke out of curiosity.
Han Yuan clenched his hand, grinned like a fearless tiger, and said with burning determination, "I want to absorb a 10,000-year-old spirit ring as my fourth spirit ring!"
BOOM!
"No, don't do that!" Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) shouted simultaneously.
Gu Rong sighed helplessly, "Kid, your goal is too high."
"I know your third spirit ring is five thousand years old, but a 10,000-year-old spirit ring is an entirely different beast."
"Even with a strong enough physique, absorbing it is no different than courting death!"
"Because of Soul Shock, right?" Han Yuan suddenly said.
"Yes, Soul Shock!" Gu Rong rubbed his beard. "Spirit beasts that reached ten thousand years of cultivation have developed their intellect, making them no different than humans, meaning the resentment in their spirit ring has undergone a qualitative change."
"One must reach Spirit Rank-Level 50, or half-step Spirit King Realm to develop a strong enough mind to resist the soul shock."
"I don't mean to look down on you. In contrast, I don't want a genius like you to die foolishly."
"It's better to absorb a spirit ring nearing 10,000 years as your fourth and then something older than 10,000 years as your fifth. You can still make history that way."
Han Yuan nodded, "Understand, so I only need to reach the Spirit King Realm in terms of spiritual power."
"It's good then because our Dao Academy has a product to enhance one's spiritual power!"
"Let me introduce you to the Holy Abyss Pill!"
"Consuming this pill not only enhances one's spiritual power and mind but also protects it. Long-term consumption will allow someone to have the mental quality of a Spirit King!"
"..." Ning Fengzhi.
"..." Gu Rong.
"..." Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue).
"YOU EVEN HAVE A PRODUCT FOR THAT??!"
