120: Chapter 120 Tears of Life, Combining 99 Limits

After taking the immortal herb, Ye Lingling's changes toward Su Ling were significant; with 94 favorability, even the way she looked at Su Ling was different.

"Brother Su, I... my Soul Power has actually reached Rank 47!" Ye Lingling felt the Soul Power within her body.

This improvement was too much, and her own cultivation speed was more than twice as fast as before.

"Lingling, let me check you again." Su Ling placed his hand on Ye Lingling's shoulder. Perhaps due to nervousness, Ye Lingling's body even moved slightly.

Su Ling's Soul Power entered Ye Lingling's body, and she did not offer any resistance.

After a while, Su Ling withdrew his Soul Power and said, "Lingling, your Meridians problem has been solved, and it is now even better than that of a normal Spirit Master; it will not affect you again in the future."

"Brother Su, I can feel it! Thank you so much, I don't know how to repay you." Ye Lingling's small face turned slightly red.

Nourished by the narcissus jade bone, Ye Lingling's originally very thin physique had also improved, and her figure was even better now.

"Repay?" Su Ling smiled and continued, "This is what I promised you; you don't need to do anything."

"Oh!"

"That... Brother Su, it's getting late, I should go back, otherwise Father will be worried." Ye Lingling clasped her hands together, not knowing where to put them.

"Have dinner before you go, no need to rush." Su Ling said.

"Okay!" Ye Lingling nodded.

Right there at Su Ling's mansion, Ye Lingling ate dinner with Su Ling and the four women before leaving the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion. Su Ling also sent her back home.

It wasn't far anyway, so it didn't take much time.

After watching Ye Lingling go home, Su Ling returned to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion shortly after.

This evening, Su Ling planned to do another thing, which was to take Jiang Zhu.

As for Ye Lingling, there was no rush now.

Ye Lingling's favorability had already exceeded ninety, so Su Ling was not afraid of her running away.

At night, everyone was cultivating in their respective rooms, while Jiang Zhu had long received notice from Su Ling and had deliberately dressed up in her room.

When the time came, Jiang Zhu quietly went out and came to Su Ling's place.

"Brother Su!"

Just as Jiang Zhu arrived at the door, Su Ling opened the door.

Looking at Su Ling, Jiang Zhu was very happy; the thing she had been looking forward to for a long time was finally her turn.

Both she and Zhu Zhuqing were very afraid—afraid that Su Ling would not touch them.

Because in their view, if a man didn't touch you, then perhaps this man didn't like you physically.

Verbal expressions of liking weren't actually true liking; they might be lies. Physical liking was the only true liking.

"Come in!" Su Ling reached out his hand and pulled Jiang Zhu inside.

Although she had already prepared herself mentally, she was still very nervous inside at this moment; after all, this was her first time.

"Jiang Zhu, relax a little." Su Ling could also see Jiang Zhu's emotions.

Next, Su Ling chatted with Jiang Zhu, especially about Jiang Zhu's past.

Jiang Zhu was very shy, but under Su Ling's guidance, she began to tell her story.

From birth to Awakening her Spirit, then entering the Elementary Academy, Intermediate Academy, and finally the Lanba Academy for advanced Spirit Masters.

Jiang Zhu came from a commoner background, and her family conditions were neither high nor low.

Her mother was a Spirit Master, but her talent was not very high—Innate Rank 1—and she was a support system, currently only cultivated to Rank 27.

Her father had Innate Rank 2 talent and currently had Soul Power reaching Rank 36, making him a Spirit Elder.

Both of their talents were limited, and this Rank was almost their limit.

So they didn't focus on cultivation now, but instead operated a shop in a city more than 300 kilometers away from Heaven Dou City.

Although Jiang Zhu was a commoner, her family conditions were still very good.

Jiang Zhu was captured by the Star Luo Empire because she was caught off Guard while traveling between her home and Heaven Dou City.

Qian Renxue sent people to protect Jiang Zhu, but when the people from the Star Luo Empire appeared, the bodyguards were only Spirit Emperors and didn't even dare to show their faces.

It was fortunate they didn't show their faces; they couldn't win even if they did, so reporting back was the best decision.

After chatting with Jiang Zhu for a long time, as Jiang Zhu gradually adapted, Su Ling also began to take action.

"Brother Su, I can finally become your woman." Jiang Zhu said.

"Ah..."

"Brother Su, you... this is also too..."

"Huh..."

Su Ling also discovered the problem. Jiang Zhu's... that place was too tight, it was hard to enter!

Among so many goddesses, Jiang Zhu was truly unique.

In the first half of the night, after a long time.

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for completing the first intimate interaction with the goddess Jiang Zhu. Reward: Tears of Life * 1 drop, Host's Dantian expanded by 20%.]

[Ding... Jiang Zhu's favorability +1, obtained Golden Treasure Chest * 1]

[Ding... Jiang Zhu's favorability reached 100]

[Bound Goddess: Jiang Zhu]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 95]

[Current Favorability: 100 (You are her whole World)]

[Binding Effect: Host can obtain 100% of the bound goddess's daily cultivation effect, without reducing the bound goddess's cultivation speed]

[Binding Skill 1: Recovery (Passive Skill, Host's own recovery ability increased by 50%)]

[Binding Skill 2: Life Absorption (Host absorbs other creatures' life force for self-recovery, absorption conversion rate is 30%)]

[Binding Skill 3: Perception (When Jiang Zhu encounters danger within 10,000 meters of the Host, the Host can perceive her location immediately)]

[Binding Skill 4: Fusion (Cast Martial Soul Fusion Skill by merging into the Host's body, can be stacked with other goddesses)]

Su Ling looked at the System panel; at this very moment, his body had also changed.

Dantian expanded by 20%, and Su Ling suddenly felt that his Soul Power seemed insufficient all of a sudden.

Soul Power was like a cup of water poured into a larger cup; the larger cup wasn't full.

In other words, Su Ling's Dantian could store more Soul Power.

Su Ling sometimes used million-year Spirit Bone Spirit Abilities during battle, and the Soul Power consumption of each high-year Spirit Ability was not small.

Increasing Soul Power was definitely very useful.

Don't look at it as just a 20% expansion of the Dantian; in fact, the increase in Su Ling's internal Soul Power storage could definitely exceed 20%.

Looking again at the Tears of Life obtained by Jiang Zhu.

[Tears of Life: Can be absorbed, the life attribute of the body and Spirit.]

Jiang Zhu had already embarked on the path of life attributes, and her Spirit had already been renamed Life Scepter, so this drop of Tears of Life would once again strengthen her life attributes.

Su Ling felt that Jiang Zhu was already on the path to inheriting the Divinity of the God of Life.

Was there anything good to inherit about the Divinity of the God of Life?

In the second half of the night, Su Ling and Jiang Zhu wanted to go again.

But Jiang Zhu was in too much pain; of course, a living person couldn't be suffocated by urine.

Jiang Zhu was a healing-type Spirit Master after all, and after healing herself, she was revived at full health.

After all, those were just external injuries, which were the easiest to heal.

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for completing an intimate interaction with Jiang Zhu, obtained Black Treasure Chest * 1]

Regarding this, Su Ling felt that Jiang Zhu's body needed to be developed more, otherwise it would be really troublesome every time.

Jiang Zhu rested until morning.

When Jiang Zhu just woke up, Su Ling said: "Jiang Zhu, your Soul Power is already Rank 54, right?"

"Yes, my cultivation speed is still a bit slower than Zhuqing and the others; they are all Rank 55, and Sister Yuer has also reached Rank 55, especially Sister Zhu Xin, her speed is the fastest, now she has improved to Rank 56." Jiang Zhu said.

Everyone else's cultivation was normal; the reason Zhu Zhuxin was so much faster than them was mainly because her comprehensive talent had increased by 100% at once, which of course would also be reflected in her cultivation speed.

Looking at Jiang Zhu in front of him, Su Ling smiled and said: "Jiang Zhu, let me give you a helping hand again."

"Brother Su, can I still improve?" Jiang Zhu said with a puzzled face. What else could Su Ling have to help her improve?

Su Ling said: "You should get up and tidy up first! It's not good to be bare like this."

When Jiang Zhu heard this, her face turned red with shame.

At this time, Jiang Zhu began to get up and put on her clothes, and Su Ling also put away the High-Level Protection Array.

Su Ling said: "Jiang Zhu, this is a drop of Tears of Life, it is particularly suitable for you and your Spirit; you should absorb it now."

"Okay!" Jiang Zhu nodded.

Giving the Tears of Life to Jiang Zhu, Su Ling closed the door and walked out, leaving the room to Jiang Zhu.

The integration of the Tears of Life was very safe and did not require Su Ling's Guard.

Su Ling went out, and Zhu Zhuxin had already prepared breakfast.

Feng Yuer did not go to the academy today, and Su Ling dined with the three women.

"Eh, where is Jiang Zhu?" Zhu Zhuqing said.

Su Ling said, "It is in my room. There is something good that suits her; I estimate that after she uses it, her Soul Power will be able to surpass you all."

"That is great, Jiang Zhu can improve again." Feng Yuer said.

Feng Yuer is the most difficult; the phoenix gall she and Su Ling first obtained can only be used when she reaches Rank 70.

"Jiang Zhu might need quite a bit of time today; you all should Guard her, don't let anyone else disturb her." Su Ling said.

"Brother Su, besides us, the only person who can open your room and come directly to find you is probably your Crown Prince brother." Zhu Zhuxin said with a smile.

"By the way, I still need to go see if my brother is around today."

After finishing breakfast, Su Ling went directly from the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion to the Crown Princes Mansion.

"Greetings, Marquis of Divine Arrows!"

Su Ling could enter and leave the Crown Princes Mansion as he pleased.

"Is my brother at the mansion today?" Su Ling asked.

"Replying to the Marquis of Divine Arrows, Your Highness went out early this morning, but I heard the Crown Prince say that he might return later today, probably not until the evening."

"Alright then, I will prepare wine and food at the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion tonight; have him come over for a few drinks when he returns." Su Ling said.

"Understood, I will definitely convey the message."

Meeting Qian Renxue this time was, on one hand, an opportunity to refresh their favorability, and on the other, to ask about the changes after she consumed the strange velvet sky-chrysanthemum, and then to check the changes in her Goddess Comprehensive Value.

Actually, Su Ling could open his panel to check right now, but he still wanted to reveal the answer in front of Qian Renxue.

After leaving the Crown Princes Mansion, Su Ling did not return to his mansion, but instead ran to Shrek Academy to find Liu Erlong.

One hour later!

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing an intimate interaction with Liu Erlong, obtaining Purple Treasure Chest * 1]

With nothing to do during the day, Su Ling still needed to come over and refresh his favorability with Liu Erlong.

At this moment, Liu Erlong's Soul Power had already reached the Peak of Rank 83.

After finishing their business, both of them entered a state of Cultivation.

Liu Erlong was Cultivating, while Su Ling was replenishing his Soul Power.

Perhaps it was Su Ling's arrival that allowed Liu Erlong's physical and mental state to reach its best; after Cultivating for an hour, she directly achieved a Breakthrough to Rank 84.

Looking at Su Ling, his Soul Power was already fully replenished, his internal Soul Power was abundant, and his combat endurance was even more lasting.

He stayed at Liu Erlong's place until the afternoon, and only left to go home after Liu Erlong finished consolidating her Cultivation.

"How is it, has Jiang Zhu come out?" Su Ling pushed the door open; Zhu Zhuxin, Zhu Zhuqing, and Feng Yuer were all resting in the courtyard.

The three of them were gathered around the table, with various delicious foods placed on top.

"Zhu Xin, notify the kitchen to prepare some delicious side dishes for wine; my brother is coming over tonight." Su Ling said.

Thinking of this, Su Ling took out another bag of gold coins.

"Zhu Xin, let Steward Xu take this as well, and have him take the kitchen staff to buy some good things!" Su Ling said.

The bag of gold coins didn't have much, just over two hundred, but it was enough to buy some good things.

As for the wine, he still had some in his System; the red wine he had initially opened from the treasure chests hadn't been taken out much to drink, so it was the perfect time to let everyone have a taste.

Su Ling was idle, and at this moment, it was impossible to pull one of them to grind for treasure chests, so he sat with the three women and chatted.

After about an hour, a green light suddenly flashed within Su Ling's room.

As the light emanated, Su Ling felt his body become comfortable.

It only lasted for a few seconds before the effect disappeared.

"Has Jiang Zhu succeeded?" Zhuqing asked.

Su Ling said, "She should have succeeded. Let's wait a while longer and let Jiang Zhu come out on her own."

Another hour passed, and by now the sky had gradually darkened; Su Ling's door was finally opened by Jiang Zhu.

Seeing Su Ling and the others all outside, although Jiang Zhu kept restraining herself, she still couldn't control the smile on her lips; she could barely suppress it anymore.

"Brother Su, everyone..."

"My Soul Power has already reached Rank 59!" Jiang Zhu walked to Su Ling's side in a few steps.

"Anything else?" Su Ling asked.

Jiang Zhu said, "My Spirit has also changed; it seems to have evolved again."

Looking at Jiang Zhu's Spirit, it had turned light green; the original scepter now looked full of vitality, and when released, it made Su Ling and the others feel very comfortable.

"Life Scepter; its life force has increased by more than 50% compared to before." Jiang Zhu said happily.

"Jiang Zhu, congratulations." The women also spoke in unison.

"I still have to thank Brother Su. Without Brother Su, there wouldn't be the me of today. Without Brother Su, I would just be an ordinary Spirit Master, and perhaps I wouldn't even be a Spirit Ancestor by now." Jiang Zhu said; she could see things clearly and knew how to be grateful.

"Su Ling, I heard you want to invite me to dinner tonight?"

Just at this moment, Qian Renxue walked over from the door connecting the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion to the Crown Princes Mansion.

Su Ling glanced at Qian Renxue, then checked the changes in Qian Renxue's panel.

[Goddess: Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe disguised state)]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 99 (Limit)]

[Current Favorability: 79 (Slightly like)]

[Bonding Effect: The host can obtain 20% of the bonded Goddess's daily Cultivation effect, without reducing the bonded Goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bonding Skill 1: Light Shield (Active skill, generates two energy shields that absorb damage for oneself or teammates; shield value is based on one's own Soul Power.]

[Bonding Skill 2: Sword of Light (Active skill, condenses and releases a Sword of Light)]

The Goddess Comprehensive Value reached the limit of 99; was there really no way for Qian Renxue to improve at this moment?

Looking at Qian Renxue's disguised state again, it was still the same as before; it seemed there were no changes at all.

Su Ling couldn't see Qian Renxue's changes now; perhaps he would only be able to tell after she lifted her disguise.

"Brother, didn't you say you would return later today?" Su Ling asked.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "I heard you were looking for me, so I should come back earlier, shouldn't I? Besides, it's rare for you to invite me for a drink!"

At this moment, Qian Renxue seemed not to want to mention the matter of the immortal grade medicinal herbs, and Su Ling didn't ask; if he had to wait, he would wait for her to bring it up herself.

Originally, she had controlled her Soul Power at Rank 50, but since there were no suitable Spirit Beasts for the time being, she lowered her Soul Power a bit, controlling it at Rank 49.

After Rank 50, she would have a reason to go look for a spirit ring in the identity of Xue Qinghe, and once in the Spirit Beast Forest, there would be much more room for maneuvering.

At that time, she would find a way to absorb her seventh spirit ring; this was also the reason why she wanted people to prepare the spirit ring in advance.

Since Su Ling didn't ask her at this moment, she simply didn't say anything.

Aside from the slight changes in Qian Renxue's Goddess Comprehensive Value, the one whose Goddess Comprehensive Value had changed the most at this moment was Jiang Zhu.

After absorbing the Tear of Life, Jiang Zhu's Goddess Comprehensive Value had already increased from 95 to 98 points; one could see how great the changes brought to her by the Tear of Life were.

One hour later!

Su Ling and Qian Renxue sat together in the courtyard of the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion.

"Su Ling, this wine of yours tastes quite good. I haven't drunk this kind before, and I don't recognize the characters on it either." Qian Renxue said.

Su Ling said, "Brother, this was something I obtained by chance; there isn't much of it. After drinking these two bottles, there are only three bottles left."

"So little? If this were placed in Heaven Dou City, it would sell for at least a thousand gold coins per bottle." Qian Renxue commented.

"Su Ling, you invited me today; there must be something else, right? Since we are brothers, just say it directly." Qian Renxue said.

"Brother, I am preparing to go to the North in three days." Su Ling said.

"How long will it take?" Qian Renxue asked.

Su Ling said, "At the fastest half a year, at the slowest, I estimate about a year."

"Rest assured, I will not let any accidents happen to them." Qian Renxue assured Su Ling; how could she not understand Su Ling's meaning?

"I heard there is a specialty snow lotus in the Extreme North, very rare. Just bring me a thousand-year one, I don't need a ten-thousand-year one." Qian Renxue smiled and said.

"Alright, if I really obtain one, I will definitely get it for you." Su Ling said.

Qian Renxue said, "I know a method where you can use the snow lotus to make a special medicinal wine; consuming it is very beneficial to the body."

She didn't know this method at first; after consuming the strange velvet sky-chrysanthemum Su Ling gave her, she looked at the book Qian Daoliu gave her and inadvertently saw the content about this thousand-year snow lotus.

"Brother, then leave this to me; I will definitely bring it back for you." Su Ling patted his chest and promised.

After all, the ten-thousand-year snow lotus was his goal this time; when the time came, he would look around, and perhaps he could find some more thousand-year ones to bring back.
