Chapter 83: Wisdom Palace!
🕑 Added 2024-03-05 13:16:20 +0000 UTCDugu Bo now had to harbor doubts.
Was Su Wen truly in possession of the key to the leap-level absorption of a Soul Ring?
Even if he could attribute his own situation to various coincidences, what about Old Jerry?
Despite the significant enhancement in physique due to the transformation of the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, how could one be certain that his constitution had reached the level Su Wen claimed?
After all, he was an elderly man.
Could he withstand the pain of absorbing power beyond his level?
"Kid, be honest, did you master some technique?" Dugu Bo asked.
This time, Su Wen didn't flatly deny it; instead, he nodded and admitted to the point.
"Hiss~~~" With his own concerns confirmed, Dugu Bo suddenly felt incredulous, taking in a sharp breath.
In fact, he hadn't even expected Su Wen to acknowledge it.
What does this mean?
If the leap-level absorption of a Soul Ring can truly be achieved through technique, then the maximum age of each Spirit Ring for every Spirit Master in the future will undergo changes.
The elevation of the maximum age of absorbable Spirit Rings also signifies an overall advancement in the Spirit Master realm!
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a major revolution.
Of course, the premise is that this technique is made public.
If only Su Wen masters it and keeps it tightly guarded, it seems even more formidable. It could lead to a bloody struggle for the technique in Su Wen's hands.
Facing Dugu Bo's gaze, Su Wen calmly said, "Naturally, I will publicize this technique. It is a new achievement for the benefit of the Spirit Master realm, a stroke of fortune for the Spirit Master world."
Survival is one thing, gaining reputation is another.
By publicizing the method of leap-level absorption of a Soul Ring, at least all Spirit Masters would owe Su Wen a favor, making it unreasonable for anyone to turn against him openly.
Sometimes, having a reputation in this world comes with many benefits.
Of course, Su Wen plans to announce this method during the Spirit Master Tournament. At that time, he will use this opportunity to accomplish another significant matter.
"What?" Dugu Bo found Su Wen's idea unbelievable. "Are you sure you want to establish a sect?"
"More or less."
"Do you know how much effort it takes to establish a sect? Do you know how many challenges a sect faces once it is established? And how much suppression it may encounter—" Dugu Bo stopped himself.
He recalled their recent conversation.
It seemed that all external issues could be alleviated with this newfound reputation.
As for the internal aspects of sect construction, such as funding and talent...
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen, making a guess.
Su Wen smiled, nodded, and then shook his head.
"Yes, and not entirely."
"I can seek funding from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and as for talent, I believe Spirit Hall won't hesitate to provide assistance."
Dugu Bo suddenly realized.
Indeed, considering Su Wen's significant contributions to the Spirit Master realm, if he intends to establish a force, Spirit Hall, at least nominally, would support and commend him.
As for substantial support, Su Wen might have to strive for it himself.
"Grandpa Dugu, you've always been solitary, mainly focused on resolving the toxin backlash within yourself. Now that your issue is resolved, do you and Sister Yan really have no plans to form a family or sect?"
After all, only large sects and families can ensure a stable legacy.
Otherwise, even with a top-notch Martial Spirit, the inheritance would quickly fade away in the river of time.
Dugu Bo's expression changed.
His gaze flickered uncertainly.
If Su Wen's words were true, and he decided to establish a force, many challenges could indeed be seen as solvable. Essentially, the only thing lacking was manpower.
With him, a Titled Douluo presiding over, perhaps, that would be the most crucial core.
And there's that guy, Xiao Zhan; Su Wen would probably invite him as well.
They could rapidly reach the standard of a top-notch force in terms of elite strength.
To be honest, Dugu Bo was tempted.
"Let's do it!"
"Oh, by the way, what do you plan to name the force?"
Su Wen pondered for a while and uttered a name.
"Wisdom Palace"
"Cough, Xiaowen, can you teach that method to Yan'er first?" Dugu Bo suggested.
"No problem, but my method has its limits. It's not realistic for Sister Yan to absorb a ten thousand years old Spirit Ring with my method for the fourth ring," Su Wen didn't refuse, but he clarified many issues beforehand.
"I know, absorbing a ten thousand years old Spirit Ring beyond one's level is challenging, but it shouldn't be a problem to absorb an extra two to three thousand years for the fourth soul ring, a few thousand years for the fifth ring, and an extra ten thousand years for the sixth ring, right?"
Su Wen nodded.
That shouldn't be an issue.
"Also, Grandpa Dugu, my method is quite complex. It's a Soul Power Circulation Route, very intricate. Take a look first." Su Wen manifested his Soul Power Circulation Route using the Book Martial Spirit.
Even Dugu Bo, at this moment, felt a bit dizzy in the brain.
What is this?
Is this a route that a person can completely memorize and activate to circulate Soul Power?
Dugu Bo began with skepticism but then remembered that Old Jerry had already mastered it, thinking Su Wen must have an accelerated learning method.
"Well, there is a method, but it's not suitable for Sister Yan," Su Wen said somewhat awkwardly.
"Hmm?"
"That is, I need to enter inside her"
Dugu Bo: ???
"Embedding my book pages into her body is just a straightforward reinforcement. However, guiding the circulation of Soul Power inside her requires my Spiritual Power to spread throughout her body to identify the direction of her meridians."
The direction of meridians varies slightly for each person.
Even if you know the location, finding the correct meridian requires exploration.
Su Wen has a super-sensitive perception, allowing him to discern and locate them one by one. However, an ordinary Spirit Master can only rely on feeling to identify which meridian the Soul Power passes through each time.
Dugu Bo fell silent.
This is indeed not feasible.
"Grandpa Dugu, don't worry. There's still plenty of time. I have some techniques for finding meridians. Sister Yan will gradually master this method through exploration."
"Alas, it seems that's the only way," Dugu Bo sighed with regret and resignation.
"Grandpa Jerry's second ring is best suited for a life attribute, and the third Spirit Ring should ideally be life attribute as well, to compensate for his age-related shortcomings."
However, life attribute Spirit Beasts are relatively rare.
This is also the reason why Su Wen sought out Dugu Bo.
"Well, for a thousand years old Ring, I do have one option." Dugu Bo thought of a plant-type Spirit Beast he had discovered before.
Today, Dugu Bo couldn't help but marvel at the absurdity between the two generations.
One was absurdly young, the other absurdly old.
When these two absurdities came together, it was truly beyond belief.
Within the Sunset Forest's inner perimeter.
In a vibrant valley, Dugu Bo led Old Jerry and Su Wen to this place.
"Grandpa Dugu, is this another one of your herbal gardens?" Su Wen said with a sigh, having already noticed many medicinal plants.
The valley is rich with an incredibly dense vitality, making it highly suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs.
What exactly is Dugu Bo?
Has he explored every remote valley like this one?
