190: Chapter 190 Super Treasure Chest! Another Master-level?

Watching Dongfang Yueying be so proactive, Su Ling didn't want to miss this opportunity; he didn't respond with words, only using actions to prove it next.

Perhaps because of the increase in Soul Power, she rose from Rank 83 to Rank 89 in one go, and the pain brought by the first increase also disappeared during this one.

To improve, Dongfang Yueying was truly dedicated this time.

But after an hour, the battle ended, and Dongfang Yueying felt the Soul Power in her body, confusedly saying, "Su Ling, isn't it possible to improve? Why do I feel the same as before?"

"Did you not take it seriously?" Dongfang Yueying looked directly at Su Ling, as that was the only possibility she could think of.

Previously, she felt that this aspect definitely couldn't increase Soul Power.

But more than an hour ago proved that Su Ling's special ability allowed her to increase her Soul Power by six Ranks, which made her believe that everything was real.

Su Ling smiled and said, "Yueying, this improvement only has an effect the first time; there won't be any afterward."

Dongfang Yueying ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Su Ling, you..."

Dongfang Yueying turned away, looking shy. You have to know, she had been 200% invested just now; it was simply too embarrassing.

"Yueying, although I can't help you improve in that aspect, I have other ways."

"Come, take this medicinal herb; it should allow you to reach Rank 90." Su Ling said. Striking while the iron is hot, Su Ling wanted Dongfang Yueying to reach Titled Douluo as soon as possible.

After all, Su Ling would be leaving in three months.

He didn't know when he would come to the Sun Moon Continent next time, and Dongfang Yueying would most likely not be able to leave with him immediately.

Let her improve as much as she can!

On the Sun Moon Continent, reaching Rank 90, then absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring, combined with a 100,000-year Spirit Bone, should give her the power to protect herself.

Moreover, Dongfang Yueying's Spirit has very strong survivability; as long as she doesn't act recklessly, she has nothing to fear from any Spirit Master on the continent.

"What is this? A 10,000-year medicinal herb?!" Dongfang Yueying looked curiously at the Nine-Grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng that Su Ling took out.

Su Ling shook his head and said, "No, this is a celestial-grade medicinal herb, and it's of the highest quality among celestial-grade medicinal herbs. I don't know if you've heard of celestial-grade medicinal herbs, Yueying; they are far better than 10,000-year medicinal herbs."

"Celestial-grade medicinal herb?"

Dongfang Yueying searched through the memories of so many years in her mind; it seemed she really didn't have the concept of celestial-grade medicinal herbs.

"Su Ling, I haven't heard of it. I only know that 10,000-year level medicinal herbs are the best. I didn't expect there to be celestial-grade medicinal herbs above that. So, what is the effect of this celestial-grade medicinal herb?" Dongfang Yueying continued.

"It consolidates the foundation and Cultivates the essence. Not only can it increase Soul Power, but it can also increase the user's potential to a certain extent, and there is even a certain chance to promote Spirit evolution."

"For you, if its medicinal effect is fully exerted, it will definitely be more than just Rank 89 to Rank 90; it should be able to go even higher. You absorb this first, and then I'll get you a 100,000-year spirit ring, allowing you to Rank among the top in the continent in a short time." Su Ling said.

Dongfang Yueying believed Su Ling's words implicitly and couldn't wait to start taking it according to Su Ling's method.

After swallowing the Nine-Grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the medicinal effect began to take effect shortly after.

During this time, Su Ling took out two return-to-origin qi fusion pills for Dongfang Yueying to take, helping her better exert the medicinal effect.

Right here in the snow dragon chamber, Su Ling waited for her slowly, brewing a pot of tea outside.

Soon it was morning, and Dongfang Yueying's Cultivation had not yet ended.

In the wild, Su Ling found an uninhabited place, and with the help of the High-Level Protection Array, she wouldn't be discovered.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Dongfang Yueying woke up.

"Su Ling, I... I reached Rank 90."

"It's really as you said; my Cultivation speed has increased by at least 50%."

"Mm!" Su Ling nodded. Looking at her Goddess comprehensive value now, it had increased from 97 to 98.

In other words, Dongfang Yueying was now at the same level as Bibi Dong.

Previously, she had suffered from talent, but in terms of beauty, she had never lost to anyone.

"Yueying, then let's just absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring." Su Ling said.

"Su Ling, is it just like Qian Miaomiao's?" Dongfang Yueying said.

She was the only one who knew about this; Qian Miaomiao could absorb her fifth spirit ring at home. Although she was very curious at the time, she didn't ask Su Ling.

"Yes, but that was a 10,000-year spirit ring; yours can reach up to 100,000 years." Su Ling said.

"Su Ling, you are simply too amazing. You can take out spirit rings casually; it's like a god-like method." Dongfang Yueying continued.

"Prepare yourself, and tell me when you're ready." Su Ling said.

"Su Ling, no need to prepare, let's start directly. My eighth spirit ring was a 57,000-year Spirit Beast; absorbing a 100,000-year one for the ninth spirit ring is absolutely no problem." Dongfang Yueying said.

Absorbing a spirit ring and becoming a Titled Douluo was her goal in the first place.

According to her previous estimates, it would take another fifteen to twenty years, meaning she would reach Rank 90 at around fifty or sixty years old, and that was assuming her Cultivation went extremely smoothly.

Unexpectedly, with Su Ling, it could be done in three or five days.

Increasing Soul Power was as simple as eating and drinking water.

As he spoke, Su Ling took out a 100,000-year spirit ring from the System space.

"Yueying, just absorb it directly." Su Ling said.

"Okay!" Dongfang Yueying didn't stand on ceremony. Why would she need to be polite about things her man gave her? Anyway, she was Su Ling's.

Absorbing a spirit ring, Dongfang Yueying certainly had experience, and she began to absorb it as soon as the spirit ring entered her body.

And Su Ling also knew that this would take a long time, at least about a month.

However, by this time, the continent-wide Spirit Fighting Tournament would likely be nearing its end.

It should be in time.

Another thing was to look for people who make offensive spirit tools. Of course, this was just Su Ling's curiosity; it didn't matter to him whether he got them or not.

After all, the development of spirit tools might take many years, perhaps even over a thousand years.

Su Ling was not in a hurry about this.

While Dongfang Yueying was absorbing the spirit ring, Su Ling also cultivated, taking a look at his attribute panel and treasure chest panel.

[Remaining unopened special treasure chests: Low-tier Blue Treasure Chest * 3, Intermediate Blue Treasure Chest * 1, High-tier Blue Treasure Chest * 0]

Dongfang Yueying brought a great improvement; the spirit ring age increased by 50,000 years at once. This was the biggest increase ever, which made Su Ling think about adding a spirit ring to his second Spirit.

However, how many Goddesses had he not conquered yet?

Even if conquered, it might not necessarily reward a spirit ring age increase. Thinking about it, he finally gave up; if he wanted one, he would want a million-year one, and it wasn't like he couldn't get it.

...

In the blink of an eye, a month passed quietly.

Su Ling had also waited here for a month. At this time, Su Ling had been on the Sun Moon Continent for three and a half months, and there were only two and a half months left until his departure.

At this very moment, Dongfang Yueying's absorption of the spirit ring had entered its final stages. A red light flashed across her Spirit, and then it condensed into a red spirit ring.

100,000-year age, this was considered stable.

However, Dongfang Yueying did not end her Cultivation because her Soul Power was still increasing rapidly.

The Nine-Grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was far better than the one Tang San gave Xiao Wu in the original novel, and the increase in Soul Power was very significant.

With the assistance of the return-to-origin qi fusion pills, and the Soul Power at this level, it should allow Dongfang Yueying to improve a lot, so Dongfang Yueying did not end it immediately.

She continued to Cultivate for three days before waking up.

"Su Ling, how many days have I used to absorb the spirit ring?" Dongfang Yueying said.

Su Ling said: "Thirty-three days."

Dongfang Yueying thought for a while and said: "Then there are ten days left until the finals of the continent-wide Spirit Fighting Tournament; it will be in time."

The Sun Moon Sect had fifty teams in one category of competition, and there were 150 teams in the three types of competitions.

In addition, the six major forces together had a total of 1,050 teams.

Next were the free participants: fifty teams of three, fifty teams of five, and fifty individual participants.

However, they have to compete ten days in advance to determine the top fifty, and then participate in the Continental Spirit Fighting Tournament together with the seven major powers.

In other words, even if you are a freelance Spirit Master or from a small faction, you must place in the top fifty of the freelance Spirit Master category to participate in the final competition.

In the end, it will be a competition of four hundred teams in the three-person group category and four hundred individuals.

Actually, calculating it this way, the number of Spirit Masters on the Sun Moon Continent is truly significant.

Initially, Su Ling was also very shocked after learning the rules.

But after understanding the recent trends on the Sun Moon Continent, he understood, because for a hundred years, the Sun Moon Continent has been in a period of peace, without any large-scale conflicts, not even medium-scale ones.

Therefore, during this period, the number of Spirit Masters on the continent has grown rapidly.

And over a hundred years ago, the scale of the Spirit Fighting Tournament was not even half of what it is now.

The absence of major wars has actually limited the development of offensive spirit tools, as they are ultimately driven by demand.

"Su Ling, guess what Rank I am now?" Dongfang Yueying said, feigning calmness, but her calm tone could barely hide her inner excitement, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl into a smile.

Su Ling said: "You should be at least Rank 94, with a high probability of reaching Rank 95, though Rank 96 might be a bit difficult."

"You really guessed right, Su Ling. It is indeed Rank 95. I feel like I'm just a tiny bit away from Rank 96, but I just can't seem to make that Breakthrough."

"I feel that in a year or two, I will definitely be able to reach Rank 96," Dongfang Yueying said confidently.

"Yueying, I believe in you," Su Ling said.

"Mm!"

"Su Ling, thank you."

"You've waited so long, I want to reward you properly. This time, let me handle everything..." Dongfang Yueying said.

This... what kind of scandalous words are these?

[Ding... Host has completed an intimate interaction with Dongfang Yueying, obtained Super Treasure Chest *1]

"What?"

"A Super Treasure Chest!"

Su Ling was shocked; this was a Super Treasure Chest.

It actually appeared just like that, with a 0.1% chance. Previously, he had obtained a Super Treasure Chest from Zhu Zhuqing and received a Third-Class God Legacy. He wondered what good things he could get this time.

"Daddy Su, hasn't it already ended? Why are you still so excited?" Dongfang Yueying whispered, blushing so much she didn't dare to look up when thinking about what she had done earlier.

"Su Ling!" Realizing that the way she addressed him just now was wrong, Dongfang Yueying called him by his name again.

"No, it's nothing!"

"Yueying, get some rest. We will set off for Fengyue City in one hour," Su Ling said.

To get to Tianyue City, where the Continental Spirit Fighting Tournament is being held, one must pass through Fengyue City, so going to Fengyue City first is perfectly fine.

"Okay!" Dongfang Yueying said.

At this moment, Su Ling kept looking at the System space, hesitating whether or not to open this Super Treasure Chest.

"Forget it, let's open it," Su Ling said. If he didn't open it now, was he going to save it for the New Year?

"System, open the Super Treasure Chest."

[Ding... Opened the Super Treasure Chest. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a set of Portable Teleportation Arrays!]

A Teleportation Array? Su Ling checked the description.

[Portable Teleportation Array: The array consists of one main unit and one sub-unit, easy to carry and simple to set up. Maximum teleportation distance is 30,000 kilometers, allowing travel anywhere on the Douluo Planet. The maximum number of people that can be teleported is three. Energy consumption: Star Blue Crystal. The array comes with a protective barrier that can withstand ten attacks from an ordinary Titled Douluo.]

"This thing is truly worthy of being opened from a Super Treasure Chest."

It didn't yield a Third-Class God Legacy, but a Teleportation Array is also a good item. In the future, if he wants to come to the Sun Moon Continent, it will be much more convenient.

The key is that the energy crystal consumed is the Star Blue Crystal. While rare on the Douluo Continent, it is very common on the Sun Moon Continent.

Just that Star Blue Crystal mine belonging to the Sun Moon Sect, according to what Dongfang Yueying said, can be mined for at least a hundred years.

And Star Blue Crystal mines are not only found within the territory of the Sun Moon Sect; the Tianyang Empire, one of the two great Empires, has quite a few, and the other, the Soke Kingdom, also has many.

So, there won't be a shortage of this stuff in the short term. At least for Su Ling, the Star Blue Crystals from the Sun Moon Sect are enough.

"Su Ling, you seem very happy?" Dongfang Yueying was leaning close to Su Ling and could feel the changes in his body; she clearly felt his heartbeat accelerate.

Su Ling said: "Yueying, isn't it because I'm with you? Naturally, I am very happy."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"I believe you."

"I've rested well. If we are late, we won't be able to see Miaomiao compete. I was originally going to go, but you know the recent situation in the Sun Moon Sect; Elder Jinlun needs to stay behind to guard the sect, so I just sent an ordinary Elder to go in my place," Dongfang Yueying said.

"Okay, let's set off immediately," Su Ling said.

In fact, Dongfang Yueying not only needs to compete this time, but she also needs to make a show of force.

With the death of the Sun Moon Sect's First Elder Wu Qingyang, and the subsequent purging of the Spirit Masters under his faction, seven Spirit Douluo left, along with many other Spirit Masters. Combined with those who died, in just a few days, the Sun Moon Sect lost over two hundred elite Spirit Masters.

This time, the loss to the Sun Moon Sect was not insignificant.

Most importantly, they lost a Rank 96 Titled Douluo. They were originally one of the three top-tier powers, but now they might be downgraded.

She is going this time to maintain all of this and demonstrate her strength.

Putting away the Formation and the snow dragon chamber, Su Ling set off with Dongfang Yueying.

This time, the two were no longer taking their time; they set off in the morning and arrived in Tianyue City by evening.

"Su Ling, it's still early. Why don't we go find that Ouyang Ye now?" Dongfang Yueying said.

Ouyang Ye, this is the person who manufactures offensive spirit tools.

Su Ling had looked over the information Dongfang Yueying had people collect.

Ouyang Ye is sixty-seven years old, with Rank 39 Soul Power. His Spirit and talent are average, but he is a master-level figure in manufacturing spirit tools.

He is hailed as a Great Master of spirit tool manufacturing.

Great, another Great Master.

However, this Great Master is different from the other one.

Five years ago, Ouyang Ye's family met with disaster, and only he and his granddaughter Ouyang Xixi survived. Since then, Ouyang Ye stopped manufacturing ordinary spirit tools and began investing large amounts of gold coins into researching and manufacturing offensive spirit tools.

Two years ago, he successfully manufactured an offensive spirit tool, but this also consumed almost all of his savings.

Consequently, he took this single offensive spirit tool to find a buyer who knew its value, approaching many major powers.

Unfortunately, no one invested.

The reason was that the offensive spirit tools they produced were bulky, inconvenient to carry, and not very powerful, making them quite useless for Spirit Masters.

More importantly, the research and manufacturing were too costly. According to Ouyang Ye's requirements, he needed a base funding of 100,000 gold coins per year, which was less reliable than simply supporting a few high-Rank Spirit Master retainers.

This was the information collected by the Sun Moon Sect on Dongfang Yueying's side.

Following the address provided by Dongfang Yueying, Su Ling quickly arrived at a residential area for commoners in the city. Originally, as a master of spirit tool manufacturing, Ouyang Ye used to be very wealthy, and the place he lived was not here.

In order to research offensive spirit tools, he sold his family assets and moved to the commoner district.

"Su Ling, this is the place."

At this moment, in front of Su Ling was an ordinary small courtyard, pitch black inside. Su Ling swept it with his Mental Energy; there was no one inside.

"Yueying, there's no one inside. They must have left," Su Ling said.

Just then, a middle-aged man approached. Seeing Su Ling and Dongfang Yueying, he knew they were extraordinary, so he took the initiative and asked: "Are you two here to find Great Master Ouyang?"

Su Ling said: "Yes. May I ask if you know where Great Master Ouyang and his family went?"

"Them? I heard him say that they seemed to have gone to Tianyue City. They are probably there to promote his newly manufactured spirit tool."

"If you are in a rush to find him, you can try going to Tianyue City," the middle-aged man said.

"Thank you!"

"Please accept this small token of appreciation." As soon as Su Ling finished speaking with Dongfang Yueying, they disappeared, and a thick stack of gold coins appeared in the middle-aged man's hand.

"Twenty, twenty gold coins... I met a good person. Now I have the money for my son's medicine, thank you..." Although the middle-aged man didn't know where Su Ling had gone, he still bowed to the spot where they had been standing to express his gratitude.

"Su Ling, why did you give so many gold coins at once just now?" Dongfang Yueying asked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Su Ling said: "This middle-aged man came out of the neighboring courtyard. I just scanned it with my Mental Energy; there is a sick person in his home, and they seem to be in great difficulty. Since he voluntarily provided us with information, these gold coins can be considered his reward."

"Yueying, we must speed up. I am quite interested in this newly researched spirit tool. We absolutely cannot let other powers get their hands on it; we must find this grandfather and granddaughter as soon as possible," Su Ling said with a serious expression.

"Okay!" Dongfang Yueying nodded, and the two left Fengyue City again, rushing toward Tianyue City overnight.

How could Su Ling not know the purpose of these two?

The Continental Spirit Fighting Tournament is something all powers, big and small, must participate in. This is a great opportunity to promote their offensive spirit tools, so how could they possibly give it up?
