157: Chapter 157 The Sacrifice of the Blue Silver King, Ah Yin Recovers?

"Sister Liu, are you saying you want to stay behind to Guard the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?" Su Ling asked.

Liu Erlong nodded, saying with a certain expression: "Yes, this time when I went back, I told the Sect Master that Spirit Hall might come to attack the Sect."

"And then?" Su Ling asked.

"Originally, the Sect Master didn't believe what I said, but after I defeated him, he believed me," Liu Erlong said.

"Ah... that works too?" Su Ling said.

"Mm, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, power is highly valued. After all, having defeated Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen, I am equivalent to the number one person in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, so he has to consider my words," Liu Erlong said.

"So I cannot go with you, and I have already reached Rank 95. At this Rank, there should be no need to go out for training."

"Su Ling, is that okay?"

Su Ling said: "Since you want to stay behind, Sister Liu, then stay."

Su Ling had the Listen to Advice skill on Liu Erlong, plus a 100 favorability rating. If he forced her to follow him, Liu Erlong would obey.

But Su Ling felt that was not good. Although Liu Erlong joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect later, it could be seen that she still felt a sense of belonging to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Whether it was from the subsequent plot of the novel where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was destroyed, or her previous performance, it could be explained.

For example, Lanba Academy. Being able to own such a large piece of land in Heaven Dou City to open an academy would be difficult to accomplish without the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and it was also called Lanba Academy, which explains everything.

"Su Ling, thank you!" Liu Erlong said.

"Sister Liu, what are you saying! However, resisting the attack from Spirit Hall is still difficult. They might send a large number of Spirit Masters, so you had best secretly preserve your vital forces first, then summon experts back to the Sect to be prepared."

"Additionally, regarding high-level combat power, you also need to be able to crush the Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall."

"Rest assured, with me here, if Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo come, I will kill one for every one that comes," Liu Erlong said with self-confidence.

Su Ling was not surprised that Liu Erlong could defeat Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen. After all, Liu Erlong had more than one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone on her, and she had two Spirits.

Even at Rank 95, if a Rank 97 Titled Douluo came, Liu Erlong would still have the power to fight.

However, to use this to protect the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, it was clearly not enough.

If there were many attacking Spirit Masters, it was possible to fail.

"Sister Liu, since that is the case, then absorb another hundred-thousand-year spirit ring for your second Spirit. This will at least allow you to advance to Rank 96," Su Ling said.

"Su Ling, the spirit ring is not needed. If you give it to me, what will you use?" Liu Erlong refused.

"Sister Liu, rest assured, I have plenty of spirit rings. You absorb this one immediately. Before I leave, I will give you another one. I want to raise your Soul Power, and when the time comes, give those Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall who attack you a big surprise," Su Ling said with a smile.

"Uh... alright then." Liu Erlong stopped refusing.

Su Ling immediately took out a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, and Liu Erlong immediately began to absorb it.

There was about a month left before his departure, so letting Liu Erlong absorb one spirit ring and then giving her another would definitely not be a problem.

As Liu Erlong absorbed the spirit ring, Su Ling also exited the room and returned to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion.

The next step was to send Ah Yin back to the forest full of Blue Silver Grass before leaving.

However, Su Ling did not leave immediately. He stayed at home for three days, and during that time, he obtained some treasure chests while interacting with goddesses before leaving Heaven Dou City.

On the fourth day, when Su Ling left, he also looked at the number of treasure chests in the System.

[Remaining unopened treasure chests: white * 333, yellow * 112, purple * 205, black * 67, red * 7, gold * 0]

[Remaining unopened special treasure chests: low-level blue treasure chest * 110, Intermediate blue treasure chest * 9, high-level blue treasure chest * 1]

"System, open the high-level blue treasure chest!"

Seeing there was one high-level blue treasure chest, Su Ling wanted to give it a try.

[Ding... Opened one high-level blue treasure chest, obtained Growth Nutrient Solution * 5]

[Growth Nutrient Solution: Absorbed by plant Spirit Beast, can increase age by one thousand years at a time.]

Huh, it really opened something Ah Yin could use!

Not bad!

He could increase her age by five thousand years.

There were still some blue treasure chests left. If he synthesized them all, he could just manage to get two high-level blue treasure chests.

Su Ling thought for a moment, then decided to exchange all the blue treasure chests, then let the System open these two high-level blue treasure chests.

[Ding... Opened two high-level blue treasure chests, obtained high-level Beast Spirit Pill * 1 bottle, high-level aphrodisiac powder * 1 bottle]

The Beast Spirit Pill, Su Ling had seen before; it was mainly used for Spirit Beasts to open their intelligence. As for the other one, as the name implies, it was used when Spirit Beasts were breeding.

Sure enough, after opening one, there wouldn't be any more.

The blue treasure chests were all opened. Looking at the remaining treasure chests.

The ones that could be opened were the black treasure chests and red treasure chests.

"System, exchange thirty black treasure chests for red treasure chests, and then exchange for a gold treasure chest," Su Ling said in a low voice.

[Ding... Consumed thirty black treasure chests and seven gold treasure chests to successfully exchange for a gold treasure chest.]

[Ding... Opened one gold treasure chest, congratulations to the host for obtaining a million-year Spirit Bone * 1]

Not a spirit ring again?

Damn it!

Su Ling's gaze looked at the introduction of the Spirit Bone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not bad, this million-year Spirit Bone was suitable for him, and it was a torso bone.

The torso bone had the most obvious improvement on a Spirit Master's physical strength, but Su Ling did not have time to absorb it now, and the best time to absorb it was after reaching Titled Douluo.

Forget it, then wait a little longer.

Look at the remaining treasure chests.

Su Ling thought to himself: "System, then exchange the remaining thirty-seven black treasure chests, thirty for red treasure chests, and then open all of them with the remaining seven black treasure chests."

[Ding... Consumed thirty black treasure chests to successfully exchange for three red treasure chests.]

[Ding... Opened seven black treasure chests, congratulations to the host for obtaining thirty-thousand-year Spirit Bone * 1, fifty-thousand-year Spirit Bone * 2, ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs * 2, high-level recovery pill * 2 bottles]

[Ding... Opened three red treasure chests, congratulations to the host for obtaining hundred-thousand-year spirit ring * 1, narcissus jade bone * 1, Immortal Bean * 1]

Opening so many black treasure chests and red treasure chests, Su Ling was not doing it for himself. Since Liu Erlong wanted to stay, he certainly had to leave some things to help.

Look at the items opened from the black treasure chests first. Wasn't one of the fifty-thousand-year Spirit Bones exactly what Su Ling needed now?

Liu Erlong was just missing a suitable head Spirit Bone to complete a set, and it happened to be opened this time.

A bottle of high-level recovery pills could also be given to Liu Erlong.

A bottle of nine pills could rapidly restore Soul Power.

Look at the items obtained from opening the red treasure chests. Not to mention the immortal herbs and spirit ring, this time an Immortal Bean actually came again.

Once taken, as long as there is a breath left, it can fully restore health. This can be kept for Liu Erlong to save her life.

Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this battle for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was more difficult.

So he had to let Liu Erlong improve to a level where enemies would look on in despair and be able to crush everyone. If there was another Immortal Bean as a safeguard, then Su Ling wouldn't have to worry.

After opening all the treasure chests, looking at the remaining treasure chests, Su Ling had no need to open them again.

[Remaining unopened treasure chests: white * 333, yellow * 112, purple * 205, black * 0, red * 0, gold * 0]

[Remaining unopened special treasure chests: low-level blue treasure chest * 0, Intermediate blue treasure chest * 0, high-level blue treasure chest * 0]

Everything was zero!

Su Ling flew all the way, crossing mountains and ridges. When he found a place with a beautiful environment, he stopped to rest.

By the way, he took out Ah Yin.

At this time, Ah Yin had grown to a thousand years.

"Master!" As soon as she came out, Ah Yin called out obediently.

So Su Ling took out a portion of Growth Nutrient Solution.

"Ah Yin, you absorb this."

Su Ling opened the bottle, and the liquid inside was green.

"Okay, Master!"

Ah Yin released a Blue Silver Grass leaf and reached it into the bottle. A burst of energy was injected into Ah Yin's body, and her body began to grow.

"Thank you, Master!" Ah Yin also felt the benefits of this Growth Nutrient Solution.

[Ding... Ah Yin favorability +3, obtained yellow treasure chest * 2]

Huh, what Ah Yin obtained was actually a yellow treasure chest? Not a special blue treasure chest. It seems that the System's preset for Ah Yin is different from special goddesses.

As for Ah Yin's favorability, the forced recognition of the master reached 100, but the real favorability in her heart did not reach it, so Su Ling could still use various means to brush Ah Yin's favorability in daily life.

Ah Yin's absorption speed was very fast. After all, she used to have hundred-thousand-year cultivation. Perhaps for her, this growth was more like a recovery.

After one bottle was used up, Su Ling immediately took out the second bottle, the third bottle... until the fourth bottle was absorbed.

There were originally five bottles, and Su Ling temporarily left one for backup.

At this time, under the four bottles of Growth Nutrient Solution, Ah Yin's age had broken through to five thousand years.

At the same time, these four bottles of Growth Nutrient Solution also increased Ah Yin's favorability by eleven points, and Su Ling also obtained five white treasure chests and three yellow treasure chests.

The five-thousand-year-old Ah Yin had grown into a small tree, no longer the size of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

"Ah Yin, let's continue on our way." Su Ling said.

"Okay, Master." Ah Yin said.

Putting Ah Yin into the System space, Su Ling flew into the sky again.

Three days later!

Su Ling finally arrived at a forest filled with a large amount of Blue Silver Grass.

Looking down from high altitude, Su Ling could discover the Blue Silver Grass below.

There were hundred-year, thousand-year, and even ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass.

Su Ling's Eye of True Sight was activated, and he began to inspect the surroundings with his Mental Energy.

The Blue Silver King, an eighty-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, was second only to Ah Yin among the Blue Silver Grass series of Spirit Beasts.

Only by finding him could Ah Yin recover faster.

With the Eye of True Sight looking over, Su Ling was also slowly searching at low altitude.

Half an hour later, Su Ling's eyes lit up, he found it.

His body descended rapidly and landed.

After Su Ling appeared, the forest was still very quiet, without a trace of fluctuation. The Blue Silver King seemed to not want to bother with him.

"Blue Silver King, come out. I know you are here," Su Ling said.

The next moment, a faint blue light radiated around Su Ling, and a figure appeared. It was an old man who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with a kind face.

"Human, why have you summoned me?" the Blue Silver King asked.

After all, since this human already knew it was here, there was no point in continuing to hide. Furthermore, the other party might have come prepared.

Su Ling had already spotted a patch of open ground nearby and took Ah Yin out directly.

"Blue Silver King, look at this."

The moment he took out the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, the Blue Silver King became instantly agitated.

"Great Blue Silver Emperor, you... you have finally returned. How did you... how did you become like this?" The Blue Silver King was very emotional.

As soon as Ah Yin appeared, the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor spread, and all the Blue Silver Grass seemed stimulated, growing wildly.

The next moment, a figure condensed above Ah Yin's body, though it was very faint.

"Yes, I have returned." Ah Yin looked around, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"My Emperor, although I do not know what you have experienced, since you have returned, we, as your subjects, will certainly restore you."

After saying this, the Blue Silver King's body began to emit light.

"All subjects of the Blue Silver Emperor, it is time to make a contribution to our great Emperor."

In an instant, the blue light within the forest began to converge and pour into Ah Yin.

"Blue Silver King, you... you cannot do this. If you do this, you will die too," Ah Yin said.

"It is my honor to contribute everything to the great Emperor. Besides, I will not die; I will merely turn into a seed."

"No, don't!" Ah Yin wanted to refuse, but her strength was insufficient, and she could not stop it at all.

With the energy of countless Blue Silver Grass pouring in, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor body was growing wildly.

Su Ling said, "Ah Yin, accept it. Even if the Blue Silver King becomes a seed, I can accelerate its growth in the future."

"Very well, Master," Ah Yin replied.

Accepting the contributions of these Blue Silver Grass, she soon broke through to the ten-thousand-year level.

The age of this Blue Silver King had already reached eighty-five thousand years, and this time, it was going to contribute everything it had to Ah Yin.

Ah Yin's age was also constantly increasing.

Su Ling waited on the side, and finally, three days later, Ah Yin's advancement concluded.

The countless Blue Silver Grass around had withered or even died.

The originally lush forest now appeared very empty.

Because within a few hundred meters, there were at least tens of thousands of Blue Silver Grass of various sizes, with high-age ones like the Blue Silver King, and low-age ones that were ten-year Spirit Beasts.

With the eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King as the core, plus the sacrifice of over a dozen ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, Ah Yin finally returned to the one-hundred-thousand-year level.

Moreover, after reaching one hundred thousand years, Ah Yin's body began to change, becoming enveloped within a huge blue cocoon.

Could it be that Ah Yin was about to regain her human form?

In the original work, Tang San had paid a considerable price.

Yet here, sacrificing so many Blue Silver Grass could actually achieve it, though too many Blue Silver Grass had been sacrificed; they had almost all sacrificed themselves for Ah Yin.

Su Ling continued to wait, and during this time, he collected sixteen seeds.

One from the Blue Silver King, and another fifteen seeds from ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass. These Blue Silver Grass ranged from just over fifty thousand years—second only to the Blue Silver King—to those that had just passed ten thousand years.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.

Until Ah Yin's blue cocoon cracked open, and Ah Yin emerged from it once again.

At this moment, Ah Yin looked very young, appearing to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

Observing her Soul Power fluctuations, it had actually reached Rank 70.

However, the newly emerged Ah Yin was naked, a scene that was simply stunning.

Ah Yin was too beautiful—youthful, sweet, and flawless, making one feel unable to lay a hand on her, as if it would be a sin.

With such a wonderful Ah Yin, how could that scoundrel Tang Hao bring himself to do it?

Su Ling immediately took out a set of clothes from the System, though they were Su Ling's own, so they were a bit large, but it was better than nothing.

"Thank you, Master!" Ah Yin said.

After putting on the clothes, Ah Yin looked again at the dead Blue Silver Grass around her; her heart ached, and she could not bear it.

However, when she released the special Bloodline energy of the Blue Silver Emperor, those dead Blue Silver Grass actually sprouted from the soil once again.

This was truly the case of "wildfires cannot destroy it; it grows again with the spring breeze."

The dozen or so seeds in Su Ling's hand also began to sprout and grow.

"Ah Yin, that is enough. If you continue to release this energy, it will have a significant impact on you. At the very least, they have already sprouted," Su Ling said.

Ah Yin had to listen to Su Ling's words and immediately stopped releasing energy, though she still looked somewhat weak.

"Ah Yin, look, the Blue Silver King and these ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass seeds have already begun to grow."

These Blue Silver Grass had grown, but they could not yet be called Spirit Beasts, as they had only just sprouted.

Su Ling said, "Ah Yin, I will take these sixteen Blue Silver Grass to a better place, which will be beneficial for their growth."

After speaking, Su Ling took out the last bottle of growth nutrient solution and let the Blue Silver King absorb it.

Of course, while the Blue Silver King was absorbing it, Su Ling also took out a low-tier Spirit Beast Pill, crushed it into powder with one hand, and mixed it with the growth nutrient solution.

While accelerating growth, it could also allow the Blue Silver King to develop intelligence.

However, this was not enough; a low-tier Spirit Beast Pill certainly would not suffice.

So Su Ling took out a high-tier Spirit Beast Pill, because by this time, the Blue Silver King had evolved to the hundred-year level.

The high-tier Spirit Beast Pill could allow thousand-year Spirit Beasts to develop higher intelligence.

When it was about to reach the thousand-year level, Su Ling put it in.

The Blue Silver King absorbed it just like that!

Six hours later!

The Blue Silver King had grown to the thousand-year level, and two high-tier Spirit Beast Pills had been used.

At this moment, the Blue Silver King's branches trembled, and blue light converged, actually condensing into a small figure. This figure was very small, about five centimeters in height.

The Blue Silver King had actually transformed into a child, looking only four or five years old.

"Did I not die?"

"Great Emperor, you have finally recovered!" The Blue Silver King also saw Ah Yin.

"Blue Silver King, thank you." Ah Yin was very happy to see the Blue Silver King now looking so young.

[Ding... Ah Yin's favorability +15, obtained white treasure chest *6, Yellow Treasure Chest *4, Purple Treasure Chest *1]

The return of the Blue Silver King made Ah Yin very happy.

Moreover, being able to recover her intelligence so quickly was all due to Su Ling's efforts; she saw all of this in her eyes.

"It is my honor to contribute to my Emperor, but how could I have recovered so quickly?" the Blue Silver King asked with a curious expression.

"It is all thanks to Mas... um, it is thanks to Brother Su," Ah Yin said. After she transformed into human form, Su Ling did not make her call him Master anymore; like the other goddesses, she changed it to calling him Brother Su.

"So that is how it is." The Blue Silver King glanced at Su Ling. It had now recovered its memories and knew that it was this human before it who had brought their Emperor back.

"Human, thank you," the Blue Silver King said.

"No need to thank me! I should be thanking you all for letting Ah Yin recover. Your sacrifice was too great," Su Ling said.

The Blue Silver King said, "Actually, the sacrifice was not that great; it was just sacrificing the accumulated age of so many years. In any case, most of the Blue Silver Grass subjects can recover again, and everyone is very willing to sacrifice everything for our Emperor."

"Blue Silver King, Brother Su knows of a place that can accelerate your growth. Why not let Brother Su take you there?" Ah Yin suggested.

The Blue Silver King pondered for a moment, then looked at the newly grown Blue Silver Grass seedlings around it, seemingly a bit reluctant.

Su Ling said, "Blue Silver King, if you go, you can quickly recover your age and have the opportunity to step into the one-hundred-thousand-year level. Once you recover your age, I will bring you back here, and you will be able to better Guard this land. After all, you are only at the thousand-year level now; you would not be able to handle even an ordinary hundred-year Spirit Beast."

"Very well, since my Emperor is willing to let us go, then we shall go," the Blue Silver King said.

Clearly, Su Ling's words had moved it. At its current thousand-year age, it was indeed of little use; only after reaching the ten-thousand-year level would it have the ability to protect this area of Blue Silver Grass.

"Good, then I will take you into a space, and I will let you out when we reach the destination," Su Ling said.

"Blue Silver King, trust Brother Su," Ah Yin said.

"Mm!" The Blue Silver King nodded, then its body dissipated and returned to its Spirit Beast body.

With a thought, Su Ling collected the Blue Silver King and the fifteen seedlings into the System space.

"Ah Yin, shall we go?"

"Your body is somewhat weak now, and you are not yet suitable to absorb a spirit ring. I will help you recover along the way, and we will find your seventh spirit ring when we reach the Sunset Forest in Heaven Dou City," Su Ling said.

"Brother Su, do you know the whereabouts of my son?" Ah Yin still had Tang San in her heart; after all, the memories were still there.

Su Ling said, "Meeting him is possible, but I do not know where he is right now."

"Oh!" Ah Yin seemed somewhat disappointed.

Su Ling: "Ah Yin, once there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely let you meet as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Brother Su," Ah Yin thanked him.

As a mother, Ah Yin still missed her child. Although her submission and loyalty to Su Ling were unchangeable and she had to obey Su Ling in everything, she also had her own thoughts and obsessions, though these all had to be ranked after Su Ling.

Su Ling did not mind letting her see Tang San; after all, everything was under his control.

Besides, meeting him would be even better; perhaps it could even increase her favorability.

When the time came, being able to manipulate Ah Yin through favorability would be perfect.
