139: Chapter 139: Favorability Increases, Qian Renxue Falls in Love with Me

Su Ling thought it over carefully and decided to leave the Extreme North. At the same time, he left quite a lot of delicious food for the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

Of course, it wasn't too much, but enough to last them a few months!

Being able to form a bond with these two was quite good; at least it increased his cultivation efficiency by 10%. Every little bit helps, and Su Ling wasn't one to complain.

Leaving the Extreme North, Su Ling released three pairs of wings and flew at high speed, taking only two and a half days to reach Heaven Dou City.

Su Ling didn't return to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion first; instead, he went to Shrek Academy to find Liu Erlong.

"Su Ling, you brat, you finally know how to come ba—"

Before she could finish, Liu Erlong's mouth was already blocked.

[Ding... Host engaged in intimate interaction with Liu Erlong. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Purple Treasure Chest * 1.]

After a great battle, the two lay on the bed, opening their hearts to each other. Su Ling then spoke up: "Sister Liu, your cultivation has improved significantly recently. In less than a year, you've gone from level 84 to level 85."

Liu Erlong smiled and said: "Isn't that all thanks to you!"

"Did you go to treat your clansmen this time? Are they better now? Did you bring them back to Heaven Dou City?" Liu Erlong asked.

"No, their strength is still slightly insufficient. Bringing them here would only put them in danger."

"Sister Liu, your Soul Power has reached level 85 now. Have you thought about taking it a step further?" Su Ling asked.

Liu Erlong, who had been lying on Su Ling's shoulder, suddenly raised her head and said: "Su Ling, do you still have a way to help me improve?"

In Liu Erlong's view, Su Ling helping her improve this much was already the limit; she didn't expect there was still room for improvement.

"I wonder if Sister Liu knows about Slaughter City?"

"Slaughter City?" Liu Erlong looked at Su Ling, full of confusion.

"Of course I know of that place. Many years ago, when I was still training on the mainland, I wanted to go, but unfortunately, I was stopped by them," Liu Erlong said.

Su Ling said: "Sister Liu, you specialize in slaughter, so going to Slaughter City is naturally the most suitable choice. Since I've returned this time, I want you to go with me."

This was Su Ling's current plan; going to Sea God Island could be slightly delayed.

After all, according to the plot's development, it would be another two and a half years before Tang San and the others went, so taking Liu Erlong to Slaughter City was feasible.

With Liu Erlong's current Realm, she could basically sweep through Slaughter City.

Combined with Spirit Bone abilities and some Hidden Weapons now being produced by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she should be able to pass through Slaughter City within a year.

By that time, most of the goddesses by his side would have reached the Spirit Emperor level. That would be the optimal time to go to Sea God Island.

Liu Erlong thought for a moment and said: "Since this is your arrangement, Su Ling, then we shall go."

"Good, if Sister Liu is going, then there's definitely no problem."

With a wave of his hand, Su Ling took out two Spirit Bones. Liu Erlong already had the 30,000-year fire-attribute left arm bone he had given her before.

This time, Su Ling took out two more Spirit Bones: a 50,000-year right arm bone and a 30,000-year left leg bone. Both were of excellent quality and could be absorbed by a fire-attribute Spirit Master.

"Su Ling, this is..."

Naked, Liu Erlong sat up directly.

"Take them and absorb them. Since we are going, we must be prepared. In Slaughter City, you cannot use Spirit Abilities, but Spirit Bone abilities are not restricted. Also, how is your progress with the Carefree Travel and Eight Desolations Fist I taught you?"

Liu Erlong said: "According to the Realm division you mentioned, Carefree Travel is already at Minor Achievement. The progress on the Eight Desolations Fist is slightly slower; I've only practiced up to the fourth fist."

Su Ling had planned this long ago, so he had specially taught Liu Erlong these two skills the last time he returned.

"Then absorb these two Spirit Bones as well. We will set off once you finish absorbing them. I won't disturb you these few days," Su Ling said.

Looking at these two Spirit Bones, Liu Erlong was very moved.

She didn't say thank you.

"Su Ling, wait a moment before absorbing the spirit ring. Let's do it again... do whatever you want..."

...

"Ah... can it even be done like this?"

"You can't * there!"

...

It wasn't until evening that Su Ling left Liu Erlong's place, satisfied!

Liu Erlong also began to absorb the Spirit Bones!

This process might take five or six days, so Su Ling had five or six days to prepare.

Returning to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion.

Su Ling discovered that Yang Qingyu had arrived.

"Brother Su, where did you go on this trip? I chased after you the whole way, searching everywhere but couldn't find you," Yang Qingyu said.

Su Ling said: "Qingyu, Xiao Wu and Brother Ran had enough Soul Power, so I took the opportunity to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find spirit rings for them. That's why you couldn't find us along the way."

"Then where are they? Why didn't they come back with you?" Yang Qingyu asked.

"I sent them to a relatively safe place."

"Brother Su!" Zhu Zhuxin, Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu, and Feng Yuer shouted simultaneously.

As soon as Su Ling entered, Yang Qingyu rushed up to him, and the four of them hadn't even had a chance to speak.

"Have you all had dinner? I see that you've all made great progress recently!" Su Ling smiled and said.

Zhu Zhuqing said: "My sister and I have already reached level 58. And Rongrong, she came a few days ago and has been talking about you; her Soul Power has also reached level 58."

Jiang Zhu said: "Sister Yuer and I have both reached level 57."

In the past year, the four women's cultivation speed had been very fast, especially since that incident.

Su Ling said: "Keep working hard. Aim to reach level 60 within a year. Once all four of you reach level 60, I will take you all out for training."

"Really?" The women's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Staying at home to Cultivate was really too boring, and with Su Ling often away, they had long wanted to go out.

"Definitely, but training will surely be very hard, and there will be life-threatening dangers. If you aren't afraid, then raise your levels a bit more."

"No problem, it's just level 60," the four women said in unison, basically very confident.

"Brother Su, what about me? I broke through to level 50 a few days ago, but I don't have a fifth spirit ring yet! I definitely won't be able to reach level 60 within a year," Yang Qingyu said helplessly.

Su Ling said: "As long as your Soul Power reaches level 56, that will also do."

"Ah, level 56!" Yang Qingyu wasn't used to her current cultivation speed yet, and her perception was still a bit lacking.

Zhu Zhuxin walked over to Yang Qingyu with a smile and said: "Qingyu, you will definitely be fine."

According to custom, after Yang Qingyu reached level 51, Su Ling would definitely give her a Medicinal Pill. With the help of the Medicinal Pill, Yang Qingyu could quickly improve to around level 53.

Basically, it was equivalent to improving three levels of Soul Power in a year. For an ordinary Spirit King, improving three levels of Soul Power was almost impossible. For a Genius Spirit Master, improving two levels was doable, but improving three levels was Hell-level difficulty.

But for Yang Qingyu, who had consumed an immortal grass, it was a different story.

"Alright then, I'll try!" Yang Qingyu said.

"Since you've reached level 50, Qingyu, I'll take you to find your spirit ring tomorrow. Once I'm done helping you find your spirit ring, I'll have to leave for about another year," Su Ling said.

"Brother Su, are you leaving again?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Su Ling said: "This time I'm going with Sister Liu; it counts as a training session."

"Then let us go too," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"No!" Su Ling shook his head and said: "The place we are going this time is very dangerous. Even if you reached the Spirit Saint level, you might not be able to return unscathed."

Hearing it was so dangerous, Jiang Zhu also spoke up: "Brother Su, what about you? Will you be in danger?"

Su Ling said: "My Soul Power has already reached level 78. Don't worry, I have even killed a Titled Douluo; for me, the danger level is zero."

Having stayed in the Extreme North for a few months, a few days before returning, Su Ling used the cultivation effect of a goddess once, and his Soul Power successfully reached level 78.

"Brother Su, your cultivation speed is too fast; we can't catch up at all," Feng Yuer said. She now addressed Su Ling the same way everyone else did.

"That's why you need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Only then will you have a chance to join the next training session," Su Ling said.

"Mm!" The four women nodded.

The experience of being captured by the Star Luo Empire was still fresh in their minds, and no one was willful anymore.

Seeing that the four women were very obedient, Su Ling was very satisfied.

The night was long, and it was soon time to rest.

But that night, Zhu Zhuxin, Jiang Zhu, and Feng Yuer all wanted to accompany Su Ling, and they even argued about it.

This made Zhu Zhuqing and Yang Qingyu quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, Yang Qingyu's favorability was greater than 90, so this had no effect on her or Su Ling.

Thus, that night, Su Ling's time was divided into three segments.

[Ding... Host completed an intimate interaction with Jiang Zhu. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Purple Treasure Chest * 1.]

[Ding... Host completed an intimate interaction with Zhu Zhuxin. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Black Treasure Chest * 1.]

[Ding... Host completed an intimate interaction with Feng Yuer. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Purple Treasure Chest * 1.]

Harvesting three treasure chests in one night, they wished they could squeeze Su Ling dry.

Fortunately, Su Ling himself was very strong and wasn't affected at all. In the morning, he took Yang Qingyu to the Sunset Forest as usual.

After arriving, he went to the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast area, and Su Ling took out the fragrant immortal grass as usual.

Yang Qingyu naturally recognized this item, but she didn't say much.

Countless Spirit Beasts were attracted over. Su Ling had seen the Spirit Beast Yang Qingyu had looked for in the Star Dou Great Forest before, and he quickly found the target.

A target Spirit Beast over 10,000 years old appeared in Su Ling's line of sight.

Su Ling still beat it half to death and then brought it into the High-Level Protection Array for Yang Qingyu to absorb.

Seeing the whole process, Yang Qingyu was incredibly shocked. It turned out that finding a spirit ring was so simple; they had arrived at the Spirit Beast Forest and found the target Spirit Beast by the morning of the second day.

Within their Family, the requirements for a Spirit Beast for their clan were relatively narrow.

Therefore, the difficulty of finding a spirit ring was much greater. Generally, for a Spirit Master in the clan to find a fifth spirit ring, the fastest would take about two months; slow ones, if they were unlucky, might take half a year to find one.

"Qingyu, what are you dazing for? It will be a waste if this Spirit Beast dies," Su Ling said.

"Oh, okay!" Yang Qingyu hurriedly released her Soul Breaking Spear to deliver the final blow.

After a while, a black spirit ring appeared.

"Brother Su, I'm starting to absorb it. I'll trouble you," Yang Qingyu said.

"Good!" Su Ling replied, and then Yang Qingyu closed her eyes to begin absorbing the spirit ring.

[Ding... Yang Qingyu favorability +1, obtained a Black Treasure Chest * 1.]

Inside the High-Level Protection Array, everything was relatively safe.

Yang Qingyu's process of absorbing the spirit ring was considered smooth, lasting until noon the next day. Yang Qingyu successfully absorbed the spirit ring and also raised her Soul Power to level 51.

[Ding... Yang Qingyu favorability +1, obtained a Purple Treasure Chest * 1.]

"Brother Su, thank you!" Yang Qingyu stood up and revealed a smile.

In less than two years, she had actually improved from level 41 to level 51, becoming a Spirit King.

According to the estimate Yang Wudi gave her initially, reaching the Spirit King level would take five or six years. Now, she had completed it in less than a third of that time. How could she not be happy?

"Qingyu, what's there to thank me for? Let's head back now; we can be home by tonight if we go faster," Su Ling said.

"Mm!"

Before long, the two were traveling through the jungle of the Sunset Forest.

Returning home in the evening, Su Ling gave Yang Qingyu an Elementary Spirit Ascension Pill to take.

Su Ling then went to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Since he was back, he had to go see Qian Renxue.

"Su Ling, you've been back for so long, yet you didn't come to see me, your big brother. Have you forgotten about me?"

Upon seeing Su Ling for the first time, Qian Renxue started complaining. At this moment, she actually had a bit of a womanly demeanor.

"Big brother, how could that be?"

Su Ling went straight up and hugged Qian Renxue!

Qian Renxue really couldn't refuse this action.

"Then where have you been during this time? There hasn't been any news of you," Qian Renxue said.

So Su Ling gave a general account of his experiences. On one hand, it was about Xiao Wu, but the focus was on finding his Family and going to the Extreme North.

When Qian Renxue heard that Su Ling had taken over a Sect, had a Titled Douluo under his command, several Spirit Douluos, and had even befriended a level 97 Titled Douluo, she was stunned.

She actually knew a little about the situation in the Extreme North.

Before infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire disguised as Xue Qinghe, the Extreme North was also one of her alternative areas.

The Extreme North was a region that the Heaven Dou Empire didn't want and Spirit Hall hadn't intervened in. There were over ten thousand Spirit Masters there, along with several powerhouses.

As long as one unified the Extreme North, one could possess a powerful force and then attack and occupy the Heaven Dou Empire from the north.

However, unifying the Extreme North required a large investment, and she was still young at the time. She felt she could control the Heaven Dou Empire with the minimum cost, which was much better than attacking directly.

Besides, having seen many experts within Spirit Hall at that time, she really didn't care about the forces in the Extreme North.

After comprehensive consideration, she chose to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe and did not go to the Extreme North.

Now that she heard Su Ling say this, Qian Renxue felt quite regretful.

Disguising as Xue Qinghe was really not as easy as she had imagined, and it even delayed her cultivation. If she had chosen to go to the Extreme North at that time, maybe she would be the one who had unified the Extreme North now.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was once again conquered by Su Ling's strength.

And there was one more thing she was happy about: Su Ling had spoken to her without reservation, which meant he trusted her very much.

[Ding... Qian Renxue favorability +2, obtained a Purple Treasure Chest * 1, Black Treasure Chest * 1.]

[Ding... Qian Renxue favorability is greater than or equal to 80.]

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

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 99 (Limit)]

[Current Favorability: 81 (Has fallen in love with you)]

[Bond Effect: Host can obtain 30% of the bound goddess's daily cultivation effect, without reducing the bound goddess's cultivation speed.]

[Bond Skill 1: Light Shield (Active skill, generates up to three energy shields that absorb damage for oneself or teammates, shield value based on one's own Soul Power)]

[Bond Skill 2: Sword of Light (Active skill, condenses and releases a Sword of Light Judgment, additional effect: Judgment)]

It's here!

This was the effect Su Ling wanted.

Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to increase Qian Renxue's favorability, and the further it went, the higher the difficulty.

If he made up some stories, Qian Renxue might have felt disgusted with him, but if it was something that actually happened, it was definitely different for Qian Renxue.

Of course, Su Ling didn't tell her everything; he didn't mention Su Ran's recovery or the God of Ice and Flame.

He stopped talking about the Ice Flame Cave once he mentioned it was destroyed.

Qian Renxue's favorability increased, which meant Su Ling had bet correctly!

Moreover, with Qian Renxue's favorability sorted out, he wouldn't be afraid of her knowing his secrets.

Judging from the current System favorability, Qian Renxue had already fallen in love with him, so what if she knew?

And as long as her favorability was raised to 90 or 96 and above, it would be stable. Especially when reaching 96, the implication of the System's evaluation of "willing to sacrifice everything for you" was extraordinary.
