138: Chapter 138 Returning to Snowstorm City, Tying the Ties Between the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor

The distance from Xinglin City to Heaven Dou City was quite far. With Su Ling taking the two of them in a carriage, it was even slower, taking over two months to arrive at Heaven Dou City.

It was not just the journey that took so long; Su Ling had also taken them on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest midway.

For Su Ran reaching Rank 40, they naturally had to find a Spirit Beast of around 4,000 years.

On the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Xiaoxiao's Soul Power also reached Rank 10, but her body was relatively weak.

Originally, Su Ling wanted her to settle down for a while longer before seeking a spirit ring, but Su Xiaoxiao had waited too long for this one.

So, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Ling still found her a spirit ring of exactly 200 years, allowing her to officially become a Spirit Master. It was not that he did not want to find a higher age, but he was afraid that if it were too high, her body would not be able to bear it and problems would arise again.

Another regret was that although both of their Spirits were Water Moon Bows, they had already lost the opportunity to evolve into the Five Elements Battle Bow.

Even if they could not evolve, Su Ling still had ways to help them improve.

As the carriage passed by Heaven Dou City, Su Ling thought about it and ultimately chose not to enter the city, instead taking Su Ran and Su Xiaoxiao to continue northward.

After much deliberation, Su Ling decided to let them go to Fengxue City in the Extreme North.

In the Extreme North, Fengxue City was very safe. Not to mention the Ice Leopard Douluo, there was also the protection of Xue Muyan and others, making it much safer compared to Heaven Dou City.

Both of their Water Moon Bows were Tool Spirits and possessed the water attribute, so there would be no problem even if they absorbed ice-attribute spirit rings.

Taking them to the Extreme North was the best choice.

After all, the whole continent would not be peaceful in the future, and there were many people watching him in Heaven Dou City. Su Ran's future improvement was fine, but Su Xiaoxiao still needed a long time to Cultivate, as she was only Rank 12 now.

She reached Rank 11 after absorbing the spirit ring and gained another Rank on the return trip from the Star Dou Great Forest to Heaven Dou City.

According to the Medicinal Pill Su Ling currently had, it was enough to help her improve by about three Ranks. After the improvement from the pills, she would have to rely on her own cultivation.

As for the immortal herbs, Su Xiaoxiao's body needed to be nourished for a while longer before considering them.

It was just that Su Ling did not know that Yang Qingyu had already arrived at the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion waiting for him.

"Brother Ran, Xiaoxiao, the place we are going to is still very far, hang in there," Su Ling said.

"Su Ling, haven't you already been conferred as the Marquis of Divine Arrows? Why aren't we going to Heaven Dou City?" Su Ran asked curiously.

Along the way, the three had chatted a lot, and they naturally knew about Su Ling's current status.

Su Ling said: "Brother Ran, Xiaoxiao, Heaven Dou City is very complicated. If you go there, you might be in danger, and it will be difficult to handle."

"In the Extreme North, there is a city called Fengxue City. I am the lord of that city now. If you go there, you will be protected by a Spirit Douluo and a Titled Douluo, which will be conducive to your growth," Su Ling said.

"Uncle Ran, let's listen to Uncle Su Ling. We cannot cause trouble for him," Su Xiaoxiao said.

"En, that is true. My Soul Power is only Rank 42 right now; it really is too low."

The carriage bypassed Heaven Dou City. Su Ling did not alert anyone upon his return. On the night they were far away from Heaven Dou City, Su Ling took out a set of High-Level Protection Array.

Speaking of which, he now had two sets of this High-Level Protection Array.

Previously in the Extreme North, in order to deal with that battle with Xue Muyan, Su Ling had opened a golden treasure chest and a red treasure chest. The golden treasure chest helped him evolve his Domain.

And the red treasure chest opened up a set of High-Level Protection Array.

Now he had two sets of High-Level Protection Array.

Under the protection of the High-Level Protection Array, the three hid within it and cultivated separately after dinner.

Running his Cultivation Technique, Su Ling's Soul Power had reached the Peak of Rank 74.

For the past five months or so, Su Ling had not used the Goddess Cultivation Effect; he had been cultivating on his own.

Relying on his own cultivation, his Soul Power had reached the critical point of a Breakthrough.

In an instant, Soul Power gathered, and Su Ling successfully crossed the threshold of Rank 74 to reach Rank 75.

"System, give me all the Goddess Cultivation Effects from these past few months," Su Ling thought.

Immediately, streams of energy were injected into Su Ling's body. This energy could be described as unprecedented.

In addition to several Spirit King-level goddesses, there was also the 100% cultivation effect from Liu Erlong, who had over Rank 80 Soul Power, as well as a portion of Qian Renxue's cultivation effect.

However, the most came from Xue Muyan.

Her 50% effect was much more than Liu Erlong's 100% effect.

At Rank 97, and working hard in an excellent cultivation place, how could her cultivation effect not be good?

In just one hour, Su Ling's Soul Power increased from Rank 75 to Rank 76, yet this energy had not been fully consumed.

Su Ling's Soul Power was still rising!

In the morning, when Su Ling finished his cultivation, his Soul Power stopped at the Peak of Rank 76, just a sliver away from Rank 77.

According to his estimation, relying on his own cultivation, he could break through within half a month.

And just as he estimated, it took ten days for Su Ling's Soul Power to reach Rank 77.

Two months later, Su Ling finally brought Su Ran and Su Xiaoxiao to Fengxue City.

At this time, after the journey of cultivation, the Soul Power of Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ran reached Rank 14 and Rank 44 respectively.

By now, the effects of the Medicinal Pill at this Rank were basically exhausted. To improve, they had to use new methods.

Su Xiaoxiao had recovered a lot after recuperation and with the increase in Soul Power. Although she still looked petite, she was not particularly thin and weak.

Su Ling believed that she would definitely be able to improve after taking the immortal herb.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion in Fengxue City, according to Bing Xinghe's report, everything in Fengxue City had been fine for the past few months. Shui Binger, Bing Yuhuang, and Bing Qilin had already entered the Legacy place of the Ice Phoenix Valley months ago, but they had not returned yet.

So in the next month, Su Ling had Su Xiaoxiao take a stalk of immortal herb, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which was obtained from Bai He.

Currently, Su Ling did not have any particularly suitable medicinal herbs on hand, so he gave this one to Su Xiaoxiao.

After she took it, Su Ling took her to the Ice and Snow Forest to find her second spirit ring, allowing Su Xiaoxiao to become a Spirit Grandmaster, and her Soul Power directly reached Rank 26.

It had to be said that this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was indeed very good, allowing Su Xiaoxiao to improve by more than ten Ranks.

Although it was only a dozen-Rank increase from Spirit Master to Spirit Grandmaster, this was already very good.

However, the biggest effect of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was to make up for her deficiencies over so many years. After obtaining the spirit ring, Su Xiaoxiao's body also grew.

When he first met Su Xiaoxiao, she might have been less than 1.5 meters, but now her height was nearly 1.7 meters.

What was even more gratifying was that her Goddess Comprehensive Value also appeared.

Her Goddess Comprehensive Value reached 90 points, but due to the kinship with Su Ling, the System could not bind her, nor could it obtain her favorability.

The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng gave her a new lease on life, and her talent increased, but the Goddess Comprehensive Value was calculated based on the present. Su Xiaoxiao was almost twenty-two years old now.

At this age, this Rank of Soul Power was definitely not up to standard, so her Goddess Comprehensive Value barely reached 90 points.

After arranging everything for the two, Su Ling did not go to find Xue Muyan, but flew straight to the Far North Snow Plains.

Snow Empress said not to look for her, so he really would not?

Three days later!

On the Far North Snow Plains!

Su Ling was flying high in the sky when suddenly a rumbling sound came from the distance.

"Is there a battle happening?"

This situation rarely happened on the Far North Snow Plains. Generally, only Spirit Masters above Rank 70 would come here to look for spirit rings, or people looking for treasures of heaven and earth.

Just as Su Ling got a little closer, the battle over there seemed to have stopped.

And Su Ling discovered that two figures were rushing towards him at high speed.

"Could this be coming for me?"

"That is, Snow Empress?"

[Ding... Detected a special goddess with a Goddess Comprehensive Value over 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Special Goddess: Ice Empress Scorpion (Vicious Beast form)]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 96]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

"Ice Empress is also together, could it be that the two of them were sparring just now?"

And on Snow Empress's side, she had already discovered Su Ling in the previous battle.

After all, in the Extreme North, the area she could sense was very vast, not comparable to ordinary people.

"Bingbing, this is the interesting human I told you about, who gave me a lot of delicious food, but it is a pity there was too little," Snow Empress said.

"Sister, you still need to be careful when facing humans," Ice Empress said.

"I think he is not bad, he has no malice towards me, and even said he wanted to be friends with me."

"Is that so?" Ice Empress looked at Su Ling in the distance thoughtfully.

Before long, the two arrived.

After meeting for the first time, Su Ling also discovered Ice Empress's initial favorability; it was neither negative nor positive, the favorability was zero.

At this moment, Ice Empress had also transformed into a human image, as cold and beautiful as Snow Empress, with skin as white as snow, and a head of long ink-green hair braided into twin ponytails. On the ponytails, there were hair accessories similar to scorpion claws, and she was wearing a long dress with white and green as the main colors.

The Goddess Comprehensive Value of 96 was very high, but it was still far worse than Snow Empress.

After all, Snow Empress was an ice and snow Spirit nurtured by heaven and earth, almost flawless, and her talent was much higher than Ice Empress's.

At this time, Snow Empress's cultivation was over 600,000 years, while Ice Empress's was over 300,000 years.

It was very difficult for Snow Empress to pass the 700,000-year barrier, and Ice Empress basically could not pass the 400,000-year barrier.

From these two aspects, the difference was clear at a glance, so there was a big difference in their Goddess Comprehensive Values.

"Su Ling, did I not tell you not to come again?" Snow Empress looked at Su Ling, still with a cold expression.

Su Ling smiled and said: "Did I not come here to bring you something to eat?"

After finishing, Su Ling took out a large box, which contained various snacks, some were specialties of this World, and some were taken out from his System.

Seeing the things Su Ling took out, Snow Empress's eyes lit up.

With a flash, she came to Su Ling and took the box.

She immediately took a lollipop and threw it to Ice Empress, saying: "Bingbing, try this."

Snow Empress took one, and then demonstrated to Ice Empress how to eat it on the spot.

Ice Empress was also eating it for the first time, and she was attracted after just licking it a little bit.

"Sister, this taste is too delicious," Ice Empress said with a look of surprise.

"Bingbing, there are many other flavors, you can taste them all later," Snow Empress said.

Suddenly seeing Su Ling's arrival, Snow Empress was actually quite happy.

After all, she had missed that taste very much during this time, as for the person, how could he be more important than food.

"Ding... Snow Empress favorability +2, obtained Low-Level Blue Treasure Chest *2"

"Ding... Ice Empress favorability +1, obtained Low-Level Blue Treasure Chest *1"

At the same time, both women had favorability.

After a while, when the candy was finished, Snow Empress looked at other things in the box and said: "Su Ling, what are these other things?"

And Su Ling also introduced them to the two women one by one.

During the process of enjoying the food, the favorability of the two women further increased, each increasing by two points, and a total of four Low-Level Blue Treasure Chests were obtained.

A dozen kinds of food were all tasted by them within an hour.

Except for two kinds they did not like, they were very satisfied with the rest.

After being full, Snow Empress said: "Su Ling, I forgot to introduce you, this is Bingbing, she is a 300,000-year-old Ice Empress Scorpion."

"Hello Bingbing, my name is Su Ling! You can just call me by this name," Su Ling said.

"En!" Ice Empress nodded.

In fact, she was indifferent to most humans, or rather, disgusted, and they would even become food for their kind.

But this human in front of her was really different from ordinary people, just as Snow Empress said.

Su Ling said: "By the way, I have another way to eat ice and snow here, do you want to try it?"

"A way to eat ice and snow?"

"Can ice and snow still be eaten?"

Both women looked at Su Ling curiously.

Su Ling took out two bowls, then said to Snow Empress: "Condense some shaved ice in the bowls."

For Snow Empress and Ice Empress, this could not be simpler.

Snow Empress reached out her hand, and above, Soul Power flashed, and shaved ice condensed and fell into the bowls.

Then Su Ling placed the two bowls on the ice table, and then took out various small ingredients to add to them.

When Su Ling took them out, they had already smelled the aroma.

After making it, Su Ling took out two spoons and said: "You can eat now."

How could they not know the taste of ice and snow?

But after adding the things Su Ling put in, the taste was completely different.

"Sister, so ice and snow can be eaten like this!"

"The taste is not bad."

A large bowl, the two women ate it clean in a short while, and even licked the bowl.

"Too delicious."

"Su Ling, is there any other way to eat ice and snow?" Snow Empress continued to ask.

"Of course there is!"

Su Ling took out two boxes, then poured the prepared fruit juice into them, and inserted a wooden stick.

In this freezing weather, it soon froze into a popsicle.

"There are four flavors here, you all try them."

Under the offensive of various foods, the favorability of Snow Empress and Ice Empress increased again.

[Ding... Snow Empress favorability +3, obtained Low-Level Blue Treasure Chest *3]

[Ding... Ice Empress favorability +2, obtained Low-Level Blue Treasure Chest *1, Intermediate Blue Treasure Chest *1]

...

Three months later!

[Ding... Snow Empress favorability is greater than or equal to 60, do you want to bind!]

[Ding... Ice Empress favorability is greater than or equal to 60, do you want to bind!]

Phew...

Finally, they both exceeded sixty.

"Bind! Bind them both for me."

[Ding... Successfully bound special goddess Snow Empress!]

[Special Goddess: Ice Sky Snow Woman (Vicious Beast form)]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 99]

[Current Favorability: 61 (Quite favorable)]

[Binding Effect: Host can obtain 10% of the bound goddess's daily cultivation effect, which will not reduce the bound goddess's cultivation speed.]

[Binding Skill: Snow Empress Descent (Similar to Martial Soul Avatar, after use can possess 30% of Snow Empress's current power, duration 5 minutes! Can be used once every 24 hours)]

[Ding... Successfully bound special goddess Ice Empress!]

[Special Goddess: Ice Empress Scorpion (Vicious Beast form)]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 96]

[Current Favorability: 60 (Quite favorable)]

[Binding Effect: Host can obtain 10% of the bound goddess's daily cultivation effect, which will not reduce the bound goddess's cultivation speed.]

[Binding Skill: Ice Empress Descent (Similar to Martial Soul Avatar, can use to possess 30% of Ice Empress's current power, duration 5 minutes, can be used once every 24 hours)]

"This skill seems pretty good! I have two more methods."

After binding with Ice Empress and Snow Empress, Su Ling also looked at the number of blue treasure chests in the System space.

[Remaining unopened special treasure chests: Low-Level Blue Treasure Chest *110, Intermediate Blue Treasure Chest 9, High-Level Blue Treasure Chest *1]

"Still not enough, their age is too high, the items opened from High-Level Blue Treasure Chests may not be useful, I need higher-level treasure chests."

Thinking of this, Su Ling shook his head helplessly.

The favorability of these two was too hard to grind, or perhaps he had not found a better way.

It had taken three months, and Su Ling had just managed to bind them both.

At this time, Su Ling was already twenty-three years old, and more than two and nearly three years had passed since the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.

Su Ling thought it was time to go back.

If he did not go back, it might affect his next plan!
