189: Chapter 189 This bed is big, just right for the two of us.

"Su Ling, how has Qian Miaomiao made such great progress? She's actually started absorbing her fifth spirit ring." Dongfang Yueying glanced at the inner room; she had to keep in mind that just a few days ago, she was only at Rank 43.

Su Ling smiled and said, "Naturally, it was a secret method that allowed her to improve a bit. In the future, I will also help you achieve such a significant improvement."

Dongfang Yueying said, "I'm already at Rank 83, Su Ling. You aren't kidding, are you?"

"Once Qian Miaomiao is finished here, I will come to help you improve," Su Ling said.

"Really? Can I still improve quickly?" Dongfang Yueying said, grabbing Su Ling with an excited expression.

Her current Soul Power was neither high nor low. Among the fourteen Spirit Douluo currently in the Sun Moon Sect, her Soul Power only ranked ninth.

Her strength was not strong enough, and she felt that her control over the Sun Moon Sect was not powerful enough.

Su Ling said, "Yueying, when have I ever lied? It might not be possible to have you absorb a spirit ring in such a short time like Qian Miaomiao, but I don't see an issue with raising your Rank by three or five levels."

"Three or five levels?" Dongfang Yueying looked at Su Ling in surprise. Isn't that kind of improvement considered a lot?

"Su Ling, that's enough. If I could jump to Rank 90 at once, that wouldn't be realistic. To be honest, I would be satisfied with even one or two levels," Dongfang Yueying said.

At this Rank of Soul Power, increasing by one level is not that easy; it requires not only talent but also the accumulation of time.

"Su Ling, there are still many matters within the Sect that need to be handled. Can we wait a few more days? Although everything seems fine now, I am still not quite at ease," Dongfang Yueying said.

"It's fine, waiting a few more days won't delay anything," Su Ling said.

"Mm, then it's settled," Dongfang Yueying said.

"Su Ling, then I will go back and handle things quickly, striving to improve as soon as possible."

Dongfang Yueying did not suffer from procrastination; once she said she would do something, she started acting immediately.

After Dongfang Yueying left, Su Ling also looked at his System panel.

The opportunity to increase the age of a 100,000-year Spirit Bone that he had previously obtained from Qian Miaomiao had also been used by Su Ling on his head Spirit Bone.

Currently, Su Ling was still missing a few Spirit Bones.

Looking at the System space again, he now still had two golden treasure chests.

"System, open the two golden treasure chests."

[Ding... Two golden treasure chests opened. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Supreme Hunyuan Scripture Basic Middle Volume * 1, 100,000-year spirit ring * 10.]

"The follow-up to the Cultivation Technique, it's finally here!"

"Eh, the other reward, I... damn it, is this even possible?"

Su Ling was speechless. If it were ten million-year spirit ring fragments forming one million-year spirit ring, he wouldn't say anything, but this just gave him ten fragments directly.

Fortunately, these things could all be used.

However, for Su Ling, what he wanted was still a million-year spirit ring.

It was possible that absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring now would give him the chance to reach Rank 99; he could do it at any time.

But what Su Ling pursued was a Breakthrough, to truly Cultivate to Rank 100 by absorbing the energy of spirit rings.

Looking at the remaining few red treasure chests, Su Ling did not want to continue opening them.

As for the immortal grade herbs that Dongfang Yueying would use, that was easy to discuss; everything would be decided when he took her.

Just like with Qian Miaomiao, if it were to directly improve comprehensive talent, then she would consume another immortal grade herb.

If it were similar to a medicinal herb for improvement, then she would prioritize consuming the one from the System rewards that was compatible with her, and find opportunities to consume other immortal grade herbs later.

"Senior Su, are you there?"

While he was thinking, Golden Wheel Douluo had also arrived outside the door.

"Come in," Su Ling said.

Golden Wheel Douluo pushed open the door and walked straight in.

"Senior Su," Golden Wheel Douluo performed a salute.

"Sit down and speak. What brings you here this time?" Su Ling said.

Golden Wheel Douluo remained standing. He had heard about Su Ling killing First Elder Wu Qingyang and had even seen the corpse of First Elder Wu Qingyang; it was truly shocking.

It was no exaggeration to say that Su Ling was currently the number one person on the Sun Moon Continent, and therefore, Golden Wheel Douluo respected Su Ling even more.

"Senior Su, I have found many things, but most of them are extremely ordinary. Only this one is considered decent. Would you like to take a look?"

Golden Wheel Douluo took out a box, placed it on the stone table next to Su Ling, and then slowly opened it.

"This is half a map I obtained during my early years of training. It is said that this map contains an ancient god's relic, but unfortunately, it is only half," Golden Wheel Douluo said.

"Oh? A god's relic?"

Su Ling looked at the map and felt it was somewhat familiar. Looking at its material, wasn't it similar to the map he obtained from First Elder Wu Qingyang's spirit tool? Could the map be completed just like this?

"Half a map?" Su Ling frowned slightly, which made Golden Wheel Douluo nervous.

"God? Who in this World has ever seen a god?"

"I don't know if it really exists. Rank 100, how easy is that to talk about? But it is worth a try. If this is truly a god's relic, then it counts as a good thing, though it's a pity it's only half."

"How about this? It counts as 30% of the value of that 100,000-year Spirit Bone, plus the 30% we mentioned before, making a total of 60%," Su Ling said.

"And what about the remaining 40%?"

Su Ling said, "Continue to help Dongfang Yueying. Additionally, you only need to collect one more divine relic site, and that will count as the remaining 40%."

"However, collecting them also requires a significant amount of time, manpower, and resources. I will give you this Spirit Bone first; once you have collected it, just hand it over to Dongfang Yueying," Su Ling said.

After saying this, he took out the Spirit Bone.

Golden Wheel Douluo was extremely excited; he never expected that Su Ling would give it to him in advance.

He took out this map, which might be a god's relic, just to see if Su Ling would be interested in it.

After all, Su Ling was very young and had already reached Rank 98, potentially aiming for the legendary Rank 100 Soul Power in the future, so he just took it out to test the waters.

He didn't expect that the Spirit Bone would just be given to him like that.

"What? You don't want it?" Su Ling said.

Golden Wheel Douluo was very excited and almost forgot.

"Yes, yes, thank you Senior Su. I will definitely do my best to search for it in the future," Golden Wheel Douluo said.

Su Ling nodded and continued, "During this period, do not absorb it yet. First, assist Dongfang Yueying in completing the Sect's affairs."

"Senior Su, I know that. Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to assist the Sect Master in the future," Golden Wheel Douluo said.

A 100,000-year Spirit Bone was enough to allow him to break through his current Soul Power and reach Rank 95. If he worked harder in the future, he might even be able to touch the threshold of Rank 96 in his lifetime.

"Then you may go!" Su Ling said.

"Mm!" Golden Wheel Douluo acknowledged and then left.

After Golden Wheel Douluo left, Su Ling immediately took out the High-Level Protection Array and set it up.

Subsequently, he took out the other box from the System space. When both map boxes were opened simultaneously, both maps actually emitted a faint golden light.

Both maps flew out of the boxes simultaneously and merged into one in mid-air.

The map enlarged, and Su Ling felt as if he could see real mountains and water inside it. Could this be the location of the relic?

This process only lasted for about thirty seconds, giving Su Ling a view of the scenery.

Immediately following that, this map changed again, turning into a hexagonal-shaped object resembling a token that fell down.

"What is this?"

Holding it in his hand, it was less than the size of a palm, but the weight was quite impressive, at least over a hundred jin. It was completely silver-white, but there was no information on the front or back; it didn't even have any patterns—it was bare.

Is this a spirit tool?

Su Ling tried to control it with his Mental Energy and Soul Power, but the result was that it had no effect.

Damn, another mysterious thing.

Gods came from the Sun Moon Continent.

There were so many god relics on the Douluo Continent; it was impossible for the Sun Moon Continent not to have any. He had obtained this one, which might count as one, and he believed there were definitely more than one on this continent. This was also the reason why he wanted Golden Wheel Douluo to search for divine relics.

It would be better if found; if not found, the loss would not be great.

The reason Su Ling was searching for so many relics was also due to the many goddesses around him. Ultimately, taking a goddess meant he had to be responsible for her. Cultivating them was just the beginning; becoming a god was the ultimate destination.

At least on the Douluo Continent, that counted as the destination.

After researching for a long time, Su Ling still could not figure out what the function of this hexagonal token was, so he had to put it away and look at it later.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Qian Miaomiao had finished absorbing the ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

"Brother Su Ling, I succeeded! My Soul Power has actually reached Rank 52, and the spirit ring age has also exceeded ten thousand years, it should be a little over fifteen thousand years."

Qian Miaomiao also sent over the good news.

Su Ling said, "Miaomiao, very good, congratulations."

"This is all thanks to your help, Brother Su Ling. Otherwise, how could I have reached Rank 52 so quickly? If Grandfather knew, he would definitely be extremely happy," Qian Miaomiao said excitedly.

"Brother Su Ling, I now have the confidence to defeat those two who have Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Qian Miaomiao said.

With a Spirit Bone ability and having reached the Spirit King stage, her confidence was naturally very high.

Su Ling said, "Miaomiao, you should hide this Soul Power. Usually, just display Rank 43 Soul Power and four spirit rings."

"But, but Brother Su Ling, how do I hide it?" Qian Miaomiao asked with a puzzled look.

"Use this. This is called a Soul Locking Ring. After using it, you can change the color and number of spirit rings as well as the level of Soul Power. You don't need to change the color, just hide your spirit rings and Soul Power, and maintain it at Rank 43," Su Ling said.

For him, the Soul Locking Ring was a decent choice for occasionally showing off, but most of the time it wasn't needed. Giving it to Qian Miaomiao for the Spirit Fighting Tournament to show off was fine.

After getting the Soul Locking Ring, Qian Miaomiao immediately started trying it out. She learned it after a short while and had a lot of fun playing with it.

However, after playing for a while, the two got down to business.

"Brother! Be faster!"

...

[Ding... Host completed intimate interaction with Qian Miaomiao, obtained Purple Treasure Chest * 1]

After today, Qian Miaomiao also began to practice with the other four members of the team every day, preparing for the upcoming Spirit Fighting Tournament.

At the same time, two days later, Dongfang Yueying also left Sun Moon City with Su Ling.

Previously, because of delays, he hadn't gone to find the person who manufactured spirit tools.

At this time, Dongfang Yueying also took off her mask and dressed up beautifully. Along the way, she attracted the gazes of countless people.

"Brother Su Ling, let's go there first this time. If we can't make it in time, we can just head directly to Tianyue City, because this Spirit Fighting Tournament is being hosted by the Tianyue Empire," Dongfang Yueying said.

"Alright, we will rendezvous with Miaomiao then. We can also help you improve along the way," Su Ling said.

"Ah, improve on the road?" Dongfang Yueying hadn't expected this. Was improvement so easy and simple? It seemed a bit casual.

However, she couldn't not believe Su Ling's words; she just didn't know what method Su Ling would use to help her improve.

From Sun Moon City to their goal this time—Fengyue City in the Tianyue Empire—was over five hundred kilometers. If they were fast, the two could arrive within a day, but they had finally managed to have some time alone.

Dongfang Yueying didn't want to get there so quickly, and neither did Su Ling.

On the first day, the two traveled unhurriedly and only covered thirty-something kilometers.

They didn't stay in a hotel that night, which made Dongfang Yueying a bit curious. When she saw the snow dragon chamber that Su Ling brought out, she understood immediately.

The snow dragon chamber, combined with the High-Level Protection Array, was a perfect match.

Although top-tier protection Formations were good, they consumed too much blue crystal energy.

However, when Su Ling took out the blue crystals to power the Formation, there was indeed a gain.

"Brother Su Ling, your Formation is actually powered by Star Blue Crystals," Dongfang Yueying said while looking at the crystals inside the Formation.

"Yueying, can you find this type of crystal?" Su Ling asked.

Dongfang Yueying nodded and said, "Star Blue Crystals, the Formations on our Sun Moon Sacred Mountain also use these. Eighty kilometers outside our Sun Moon City, there is a Star Blue Crystal mine. About one hundred thousand pieces can be mined every year. This is one of the daily revenues of our Sun Moon Sect."

"Brother Su Ling, if you need them, you can just take them from the storage room when we go back," Dongfang Yueying said.

"How much are these Star Blue Crystals worth?" Su Ling asked.

"In the Sun Moon Continent, Star Blue Crystals are not considered particularly rare Materials, but they aren't cheap either. An ordinary Star Blue Crystal is worth one gold coin, and high-quality ones like yours, Brother Su Ling, should be able to sell for one hundred gold coins each."

"However, we have quite a bit of stock of this quality. There should still be a lot now. I'll have to check specifically when we go back, but it shouldn't be less than fifty thousand pieces," Dongfang Yueying said.

This was indeed a significant asset. Wouldn't fifty thousand high-quality Star Blue Crystals be worth five million gold coins?

"Yueying, let's talk about this when we go back. Let's go into the snow dragon chamber first," Su Ling said.

"But, Su Ling, there is only one bed in here. How are we going to rest?" Dongfang Yueying said with a shy face. How could she not understand what Su Ling meant by taking this out at this time?

"This bed is big, it's just right for the two of us."

Su Ling said this without blushing or catching his breath, which was observed by Dongfang Yueying, so she teased, "Su Ling, how many young girls have you said this line to here?"

╮(╯▽╰)╭ Su Ling said, "You are the first."

That's right, he had only said this to Dongfang Yueying; he hadn't for other goddesses.

"Hmph, I don't believe you," Dongfang Yueying said.

"Yueying, after tonight, I will be able to help you improve," Su Ling said.

"Can that also improve it?"

"Others can't, but I can..."

"Su Ling... you are my first man, and also my last. I know it's impossible for you to only have me in the future, but I hope that no matter where you are, you will always remember me," Dongfang Yueying looked at Su Ling with a serious and earnest expression.

Su Ling also stood in front of Dongfang Yueying and said, "Yueying, don't worry, I will definitely do better than what you said."

It has to be said that Dongfang Yueying's appearance and figure were simply too good. The first time, she made Su Ling break his fastest release record directly.

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for completing intimate interaction with Dongfang Yueying for the first time, obtained reward: Soul Power increased by six Ranks, all of Host's spirit ring ages increased by 50,000 years (no increase for million-year spirit rings)]

[Ding... Dongfang Yueying's favorability +2, obtained Black Treasure Chest * 1, Golden Treasure Chest * 1]

[Ding... Dongfang Yueying's favorability reached 100]

[Bound Goddess: Dongfang Yueying]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 97]

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

[Bonding Effect: The Host can obtain 100% of the Bound Goddess's daily cultivation effect without reducing the Bound Goddess's cultivation speed.]

[Bonding Skill 1: Moon Hiding (Active skill, lasts for thirty minutes after use, can use power not exceeding Spirit Emperor level, otherwise the skill effect disappears; under moonlight, this skill has no time limit.)]

[Bonding Skill 2: Moon Blade (Under moonlight, can condense moonlight power to form a Moon Blade attack, comparable to a 200,000-year Spirit Ability.)]

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

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

Huh, this actually directly increases Soul Power, not increasing talent, nor giving items.

What it gave is exactly what Dongfang Yueying needs most urgently right now.

After all, her talent and appearance value of 97 points were not bad at all.

Just in this short while, Dongfang Yueying felt her Soul Power rising.

"Su Ling, how can my Soul Power!"

The Soul Power increase was instantaneous; Dongfang Yueying was astonished.

"Rank 84... Rank 87!"

"Rank... Rank 89!"

"Wasn't it supposed to increase by three or five Ranks?"

It only stopped when it stayed at Rank 89 Soul Power. Dongfang Yueying also felt herself to be incomparably powerful.

"Yueying, feel the Soul Power, consolidate it," Su Ling said intentionally. In fact, this kind of improvement didn't need consolidation at all; the improvement was perfect.

"Okay!"

Dongfang Yueying immediately entered a state of cultivation.

Su Ling looked at the System interface and said, "System, open three Red Treasure Chests."

[Ding... Opened three Red Treasure Chests, obtained: 100,000-year Spirit Bone * 1, 100,000-year Healing Spirit Ability Card * 1, Immortal-grade medicinal herb Nine-Rank Crystal Snow Dragon Ginseng * 1]

"Good, this is good!"

And at this time, Dongfang Yueying also said, "Brother Su Ling, the increased Soul Power is very stable, just as if it were accumulated over many years of my cultivation."

"I didn't expect that doing that could also increase Soul Power. Su Ling, I'm at Rank 89. How about we continue? Will I be able to reach Rank 90 next time?"

Dongfang Yueying said with an expectant look. She was quite direct because if interacting with Su Ling could increase Soul Power, wouldn't she be able to easily reach the Titled Rank?
