96: Chapter 96 Ninth-Grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Su Ling Returns
Xiao Wu did not expect that Su Ling's target Spirit Beast was actually that powerful Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Hunting this Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger would be beneficial for both humans and Spirit Beasts.
"Brother Su, I will also support you in hunting the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger," Xiao Wu said.
"Xiao Wu, thank you, but I do not know the movements of this Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, so I will have to trouble you to keep an eye out for it," Su Ling said.
"Human, leave the search for the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger to us," the Sky Azure Bull Python said.
"Then many thanks!" Su Ling said.
Overall, these two Spirit Beasts gave Su Ling a rather good impression.
They lived peacefully at the Lake of Life, and even if human Spirit Masters intruded, they would only drive them away rather than kill them all.
"Brother Su, are you leaving now?" Xiao Wu asked.
Su Ling said, "There is one more thing I have not done yet, which is to help you improve."
"Help me?" Xiao Wu looked at Su Ling with a puzzled expression.
Su Ling said, "That is right, I might need to stay for a few days."
"Xiao Wu, do you not welcome me?" Su Ling smiled and asked.
"Welcome, of course I welcome you."
"Brother Su, there are many delicious fruits at the Lake of Life that cannot be found outside; you must try them," Xiao Wu said excitedly.
At this moment, her favorability towards Su Ling had reached 95 points; how could she bear to let Su Ling leave? She wished she could stay by Su Ling's side every day.
But with Su Ling staying here, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were not exactly happy.
"By the way, Brother Su, I have not introduced them to you yet. This is the Sky Azure Bull Python, called Da Ming, and over here is the Titan Giant Ape, called Er Ming."
"Mm, I understand," Su Ling said.
"Brother Su, let us go. I will take you to the place where I used to live, but it has been almost ten years since I left, so I do not know what it looks like now," Xiao Wu said.
Su Ling followed behind Xiao Wu, passing the Lake of Life, and found a wooden house tucked away in the crevices of a pile of boulders.
Or rather, this wooden house was built inside a cave.
The exterior had been modified, and the interior had been decorated as well.
After all, she was a rabbit, so living in a cave was perfectly normal!
Perhaps because too much time had passed, some of the wood of the house had already rotted.
As for the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, they were simply unable to take care of it.
"Brother Su, it seems my wooden house is no longer habitable and needs to be repaired," Xiao Wu said.
"I will help you!"
"Okay!" Xiao Wu was extremely happy to hear that Su Ling would help.
Thus, the two of them went into the forest to collect wood, turned the wood into planks, dried and carbonized them using fire-attribute Soul Power, and then replaced the old ones.
Xiao Wu did not have many things to decorate with, but Su Ling had everything in his spirit tool.
Even kitchen utensils and stoves were fully equipped, but what Xiao Wu liked most was the large Simmons mattress that Su Ling took out.
This was something Xiao Wu could not refuse.
Night fell, and looking at her brand-new home, Xiao Wu was very happy.
Xiao Wu thought to herself: Mother, I initially thought he was good to me, but it all turned out to be fake. Only Brother Su risked his life to save me and even helped me build a home.
[Ding... Xiao Wu favorability +1, obtained Red Treasure Chest +1]
[Ding... Xiao Wu favorability is greater than or equal to 96]
[Goddess: Xiao Wu]
[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]
[Current Favorability: 96 (Will never betray, willing to sacrifice everything for you)]
[Bonding Effect: The host can obtain 50% of the bonded Goddess's daily Cultivate effect without reducing the bonded Goddess's Cultivate speed.]
[Bonding Skill: Teleportation (Maximum Teleportation distance is 200 meters, but cannot ignore space)]
[Bonding Skill: Invincible Defense (Duration 9 seconds, cannot be broken below Divine-Grade)]
[Bonding Skill: Perception (When Xiao Wu encounters danger within one thousand meters of the host, the host can perceive her location immediately)]
[Bonding Skill 4: Fusion (Casts Martial Soul Fusion Skill by merging into the host's body, can be stacked with other Goddesses)]
Xiao Wu's favorability had finally reached 96. At this very moment, Tang San's status in her heart was completely gone, and her eyes would only hold Su Ling.
Even if she were asked to sacrifice herself on the spot, she would do it.
However, how could you let a girl who is willing to do anything for you suffer?
As the saying goes, one should only enjoy the sweetness and not the bitterness, right?
Su Ling looked at the items in the System suitable for Xiao Wu. There were no Spirit Bones, but there was one immortal herb that could be used, which was the eight-petal immortal orchid.
In the original work, Oscar consumed it. Its medicinal properties were gentle and mellow, capable of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the origin, as well as expelling Impurities from the body, allowing Oscar to increase his level by five at once.
Of course, there was also the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which Xiao Wu could also use, and this item came from Tang San.
Xiao Wu had consumed one in the original work, but that one was simply not on the same level as the one in Su Ling's hand.
No, why was I thinking of giving Xiao Wu the eight-petal immortal orchid?
It was obvious that the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was the best medicinal herb for her now, and it was also the most suitable for Xiao Wu.
I must give Xiao Wu the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
While Su Ling was thinking, Xiao Wu was actually feeling quite awkward. The room was finished, but where would Su Ling sleep at night?
Could it be that he wants to stay with me?
How embarrassing!
What to do, what to do? Should I let Brother Su sleep outside?
Xiao Wu, how could you treat Brother Su like that?
How about, together?
Mm, together!
Just as Xiao Wu made up her mind and was about to invite Su Ling, Su Ling took the initiative and asked, "Xiao Wu, what level is your Soul Power at now?"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, but she answered truthfully, "In the last two days of the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, I increased to level forty-five."
"Alright, then I will help you improve further so you can reach level fifty as soon as possible," Su Ling said.
The ten-thousand-year medicinal herb that Tang San had previously given Xiao Wu to consume had decent efficacy, increasing her Soul Power by four levels, but it was not an immortal herb, so its improvement to her potential was likely relatively small.
And the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was likely one of the top-tier immortal herbs.
If Tang San had given Xiao Wu this medicinal herb from the beginning, before the start of the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, Xiao Wu might very well have reached level forty-eight or forty-nine, or even already been a Spirit King.
However, Su Ling did not feel bad about using this medicinal herb; after all, it was obtained from Tang San's spirit tool.
"This is an immortal herb. You consume it, and I will Guard you," Su Ling said.
"A medicinal herb?" Xiao Wu had consumed them before, so she naturally knew the benefits.
"Okay, since you are giving it to me, Brother Su, I will consume it."
Xiao Wu took it immediately and asked, "Brother Su, how should this be consumed? Do I just eat it directly?"
"Yes, just eating it directly will do."
"Okay!" Xiao Wu did not hesitate and ate the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in one bite.
And just as Xiao Wu ate it, this scene also attracted the attention of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
They also recognized some medicinal herbs, and the medicinal fragrance of the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng attracted their attention as soon as it spread.
"Er Ming, it seems this kid is pretty good to Sister Xiao Wu; that medicinal herb just now was very precious," the Sky Azure Bull Python said.
"Let us keep watching; humans cannot be trusted," the Titan Giant Ape said. Some Spirit Beasts had a mountain of prejudice against humans in their hearts.
After Xiao Wu consumed the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, she quickly entered into Cultivate, and Su Ling also sat cross-legged not far from her side.
That night, Xiao Wu's Cultivate was very peaceful, without any accidents.
By morning, Xiao Wu had not yet woken up; instead, she was condensing her fifth spirit ring.
It was worthy of being the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng; the effect was truly good, allowing Xiao Wu to rise from level forty-five to level fifty in one night.
"It is truly a good thing; Sister Xiao Wu is already condensing her fifth spirit ring," the Sky Azure Bull Python said.
The two Spirit Beasts had been observing the situation on Xiao Wu's side the whole time.
From morning to night, only six hours had passed, and Xiao Wu's spirit ring had already been condensed, but Xiao Wu's Cultivate had not yet ended.
It was not until the next morning that it completely ended.
...
In the morning, Xiao Wu opened her eyes, felt the Soul Power in her body, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
"Brother Su, my... my Soul Power has directly reached level fifty-three!"
Xiao Wu got up excitedly, ran to Su Ling's side, and couldn't help but hug Su Ling.
[Ding... Xiao Wu favorability +3, obtained Black Treasure Chest *1, Red Treasure Chest *2]
With three treasure chests, Su Ling felt that this immortal herb was definitely worth it; after all, there were two red treasure chests.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's favorability had already reached 99 points.
Looking at the Goddess Comprehensive Value again, it had increased from 94 points to 97 points.
The speed of this increase was more than that of other Goddesses and was already catching up to Bibi Dong; after all, Bibi Dong had twin spirits.
Xiao Wu had Innate full Soul Power!
Innate full Soul Power plus the nine-rank Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the effect was indeed different.
Looking at Xiao Wu again, her whole person had also undergone some changes.
Compared to the past, her appearance, facial features, height, posture, and overall temperament had all improved by a large margin.
This improvement effect was much better than any other Goddess consuming an immortal herb in the past.
"Brother Su, I feel that my Cultivate speed has increased a lot; I believe I will be able to reach level 60 very soon," Xiao Wu said.
"Xiao Wu, your identity has been exposed; level sixty is not safe either," Su Ling said.
"Brother Su, I know that; I will definitely work hard to Cultivate and reach Titled Douluo as soon as possible," Xiao Wu smiled and said.
"Xiao Wu, since you have improved, it is time for me to leave; everyone is waiting for me in Heaven Dou City," Su Ling said.
"Brother Su, you have been guarding me for the past few days; wait for me to find you something delicious, and stay for a few more days," Xiao Wu said, looking at Su Ling with hopeful eyes.
The 99 favorability rating made her wish she could be with Su Ling every moment.
"Alright! I will listen to you, Xiao Wu," Su Ling said.
"Brother Su, that is great!" Xiao Wu jumped up in excitement.
So Su Ling stayed at the Lake of Life for another three days. During these three days, Xiao Wu took Su Ling to eat many fruits that could not be seen outside.
Su Ling also took a bath in the Lake of Life and even dove to the bottom of the lake.
After all, another heavyweight Goddess was hidden beneath the Lake of Life.
But upon reaching the bottom of the lake, Su Ling still did not find anything.
Opening the Eye of True Sight did not find anything, and even the System did not have any prompts.
In Su Ling's mind, he thought of a possibility: the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who was healing here, might be in a certain space. This space was beneath the Lake of Life, and one could only enter if they found the entrance to the space.
For this reason, his Eye of True Sight and the System could not find it.
On the morning of the fourth day of his stay.
"Brother Su, thank you!" Xiao Wu hugged Su Ling; she was truly reluctant to let Su Ling leave.
Su Ling also stroked Xiao Wu's beautiful hair and said, "Xiao Wu, we will be able to see each other again very soon. It is just level seventy; I will be able to reach it in about a year."
"Mm, I believe in Brother Su," Xiao Wu said.
"Xiao Wu, this is for you; you can use it when you are in danger."
In the System space, there were still two Teleportation Experience Cards, which could teleport a distance of one thousand meters.
The Lake of Life was not absolutely safe. When Bibi Dong came to look for a spirit ring, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were not her match, let alone Xiao Wu.
"Brother Su, what is this?" Xiao Wu asked with a curious expression.
"When you are in danger, crush it, and it can instantly move you to a thousand meters away; it can be considered a life-saving means," Su Ling said.
"Brother Su, I am very safe here; with Da Ming and Er Ming protecting me, I do not need to be afraid even if human Spirit Masters come," Xiao Wu said.
"Xiao Wu, then what if Bibi Dong comes with several Titled Douluo?"
"Ah, then this... this..."
If it still followed the original plot development, there would be a crisis in five years, and that time was also when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to Tang San.
After Su Ling arrived, he changed the plot, but Bibi Dong's search for a spirit ring would not change; this time might be advanced or postponed, but she would come sooner or later.
"I understand, thank you, Brother Su," Xiao Wu said.
"You must also be prepared; once there is danger, you can choose to flee and must not confront them head-on, because they have ways to deal with Da Ming and Er Ming, do you understand?" Su Ling said.
"Brother Su, I understand."
"Su Ling, do not worry; we will definitely protect Sister Xiao Wu well," the Sky Azure Bull Python said.
Over these few days, the attitude of the two Spirit Beasts towards Su Ling had changed; they called Su Ling by his name instead of using the general term "human."
"Goodbye!" Su Ling waved his hand and then immediately ran into the jungle to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
When Su Ling's figure could no longer be seen, Xiao Wu whispered, "Brother Su, I will definitely Cultivate well and come out early to roam the Spirit Master's world with you, and I will definitely avenge my mother's death as well."
"Da Ming, Er Ming, let us go back; this time I will definitely Cultivate well," Xiao Wu said.
"Sister Xiao Wu, You can do it!"
...
Su Ling left the Lake of Life and headed straight for the Heaven Dou Empire. Along the way, Su Ling's speed was extremely fast, and even though he attracted some Spirit Beasts, they all chose to give up after chasing for a while.
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Ling changed his clothes and used the thousand illusion mask; at this moment, even if Bibi Dong were in front of him, she would not be able to recognize Su Ling.
Ten days later, Su Ling finally entered Heaven Dou City, quietly entered from the back mountain of Shrek Academy, and knocked on Liu Erlong's door.
At this time, Liu Erlong and the others had not been back for long. Hearing a knock on the door, she thought it was Flender.
"Boss Fu, didn't we just finish discussing the academy's affairs? What is the matter now?" Liu Erlong said in an impatient tone.
This Flender still had not given up on her, but she would never have any further development with him in this life.
"Sister Liu, it is me, I am back."
While speaking, Su Ling also took off the thousand illusion mask, and Liu Erlong opened the door at the same time.
"Su Ling, you are finally back! I thought it was Boss Fu; come in quickly!" Liu Erlong took the initiative to pull Su Ling into the room.
"Sister Liu, I came to see you first after returning," Su Ling smiled and said.
Liu Erlong was very happy to hear this and said, "That is more like it; it was not in vain that I doted on you so much."
Su Ling thought: Why did Liu Erlong's words sound a bit strange? It seemed as if he was being kept by Liu Erlong.
But the next moment, Liu Erlong's expression became serious again, and she said, "Su Ling, this time after we returned, only I, Flender, and Zhao Wuji returned to the academy; the others all remained at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"After all, we do not know yet whether Spirit Hall will deal with all the members of Shrek Academy who went to Spirit Hall this time, so School Master Ning suggested that everyone temporarily stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to observe for a period of time."
"So that is how it is. Then I will go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tomorrow," Su Ling said, looking at Liu Erlong with a smile.
"Are you not going now?" Liu Erlong looked at Su Ling with a charming expression.
How could Liu Erlong not know what Su Ling meant? In fact, she also missed Su Ling very much.
"Sister Liu, is it not as I said? I will go tomorrow; I will not leave today."
Dry wood met raging fire, and an epic battle was about to break out!
