—------------------—

The meeting was not smooth but still pleasant. After having lunch at Qibaozhai, Xue Qinghe took Xuan Ming away.

"Uncle Jian, what do you think of this child's talent?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "Based on what I've seen, it's pretty good."

"However, it is hard to say to what extent it can be achieved in the future."

The practice of a soul master does not happen overnight, but is the result of decades of accumulation. Talent is just talent, and whether one can make good use of this talent is more critical.

"Of course, with the power of the Tiandou royal family, plus the talent of this child, as long as it is not wasted, it should not be difficult for him to cultivate to a Titled Douluo." Chen Xin said.

"Feng Zhi, do you have an idea now?"

"We should always be prepared for danger in times of peace and think about the future," said Ning Fengzhi.

"Haotian Sect has retired, and now the Spirit Hall is expanding more and more recklessly. In a few years, this continent may see changes again."

"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should make preparations early."

The Spirit Hall is powerful, and the two empires are feeling the pressure. Xingluo is fine, but Tiandou is already a little weak.

In order to cope with the pressure from the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xue Ye intended to make friends with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and even hinted to him a few years ago that he could choose a prince as support.

At the beginning, Xue Ye and the Tiandou royal family were optimistic about the second prince, but no one expected that the second prince would suddenly die.

Later, Xue Ye turned his attention to the third prince who had excellent talent for cultivation, but something like that happened again last year.

Now, only the eldest prince can shoulder the important task.

"Feng Zhi, that old bone and I are not dead yet." Chen Xin said.

"Even if you really have an idea, you should at least investigate the boy's character first."

"Character... I can see it as an adult, but this child changes every day. It depends on how the adults teach him." Ning Fengzhi said.

"That's all I'm thinking about. It's too early."

"So what do you think of this prince?" Chen Xin asked.

"I heard that Xue Qinghe is not a simple person."

The two princes who were expected to become the crown prince died one after another, and the eldest prince Xue Qinghe successfully ascended to the crown prince. It is hard to believe that there was nothing wrong with it.

"If a crown prince of a country and the future emperor is simple, then he is doomed." Ning Fengzhi said.

The Tiandou royal family did have doubts about the deaths of the previous two princes, but they just had no evidence.

As long as there is no evidence, no one will speak out about this kind of thing.

Even if the Crown Prince's tolerance and kindness are all pretended, at least he pretends to be so, and no one can really find any fault with him.

Since there is nothing wrong with it, what difference does it make whether this kindness is real or fake?

It's meant to be seen by people, so if people can't find any problems with it, that's enough.

If you really want to get to the bottom of it, there is no such thing as a perfect person in this world.

…

Time flies, Xuan Ming practiced in Tiandou Royal Academy for another year.

Since being named the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe has become busier and no longer comes to visit him every now and then like before. Qian Renxue, on the other hand, has been more stable and still appears once a month. After meeting, they discuss cultivation in the Crown Prince's Mansion and occasionally exchange ideas. Her attitude is much better than before.

"Level 20? Are you serious?"

Dugu Bo, who had just returned from a long trip and came to see his granddaughter's training progress, heard the news that Dugu Yan and others were discussing taking Xuan Ming to hunt for the second soul ring as soon as he entered the door.

"It's not like you can't sense it." Xuan Ming said.

"What I mean is..." Dugu Bo's expression looked a little unnatural.

"I used a lot of good things before." Xuan Ming said. When repairing his martial soul, the medicinal baths that Bibi Dong prepared, and the medicines that he drank for almost a month, were all treasures, but these things needed time to slowly digest.

Bibi Dong also told him that with so many things, it would take an average person at least ten years to slowly absorb them. To absorb them quickly in such a short time like he did was tantamount to seeking death.

Because the medicine is too powerful, it is very easy for him to become too weak to take the medicine, but due to the mutation of his martial soul, his body and soul power are very different from those of ordinary people.

Of course, it's mainly due to the blood spear's devouring ability. He can't absorb so many things directly, but they can be devoured by the blood spear and then slowly fed back to him, just like kidney dialysis.

However, this method would cause the quality of the Blood Spear to increase too quickly, and its appetite would become larger. Therefore, in order to keep up with the progress of the Blood Spear, he had been practicing with both brains for nearly two years, almost without sleep.

"Grandpa, since you are back, why don't you take Xuan Ming to hunt for spirit rings?" Dugu Yan said.

"The Meng Shen Ji Education Committee said that Xuan Ming can already bear the thousand-year spirit ring."

"Millennial soul ring?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows, put his hand on Xuan Ming's shoulder, and released his soul and mental power to test it.

After a while, his expression became extremely strange.

The strength of this body is comparable to that of a Soul Master above level 30, and there is something wrong with his mental strength...

"Okay." Dugu Bo withdrew his hand.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period of time. Tell me what kind of spirit ring you want to obtain. I will see if there is any in the Sunset Forest and take you to find a suitable one."

"A fierce sub-dragon or dragon beast with thunder attribute and dragon blood is best." Xuan Ming said.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few with thunder attributes, but dragon soul beasts are very hard to find. Let's give it a try."

…

Sunset forest.

Since Xuan Ming needed to hunt thousand-year soul rings, and the age was not low, he needed to go deep into the living area of ​​thousand-year soul beasts, which was somewhat dangerous. In addition, finding a suitable soul beast would take ten days to half a month, and sometimes even several months. Therefore, Dugu Bo did not let Dugu Yan and the others come with him.

Under the cover of night, the two men walked one after the other in the dense forest. After all, they had been active in this forest for decades, so Dugu Bo naturally knew a lot about the distribution of soul beasts here. At least he had a rough direction of the range, so he didn't have to try his luck in such a big forest.

"For your situation, I have two suggestions." Dugu Bo suddenly said.

"To be safer, you can try a spirit ring under 2,000 years old. If you are confident in yourself, you can try 2,000 to 3,000 years old."

"Of course, the difficulty and danger will be higher."

For a soul beast that has lived for ten years, every ten years is a hurdle before it reaches the age of a hundred.

For a hundred-year-old soul beast, before it reaches a thousand years, every hundred years is a new hurdle.

The same is true for thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Especially from one thousand years to ten thousand years, and from ten thousand years to one hundred thousand years, even if there is only one year difference, the quality of the spirit ring and the improvement it brings are two completely different concepts.

Of course, absorption difficulty is also two different concepts.

"In other words, my limit is three thousand years?" Xuan Ming asked.

"Not that much, at most two thousand five hundred." Dugu Bo said.

"To be honest, I don't recommend you to challenge the limit spirit ring."

"Why?" Xuan Ming asked.

"Although the absorption of the extreme spirit ring can improve the spirit master to a greater extent, the danger level is also extremely high. Very few spirit masters will take the risk because they can easily die." Dugu Bo said.

"The Ultimate Soul Ring is a huge test for the soul master's body, mental strength, and martial soul. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like passing through the gates of hell."

"It's normal to die, and it's luck to survive."

"It's not like I haven't seen soul masters who have challenged their limit soul rings. In fact, there are quite a few. But those people either had accidents with their bodies and damaged their meridians, or their mental strength was not enough to persist and they fainted in the middle of the process, or their martial souls could not withstand such a huge energy baptism and were damaged and collapsed. Anyway, few of them succeeded. Even if they succeeded once by chance, they would never want to try again."

Absorbing the ultimate soul ring is a matter in itself where the risks far outweigh the benefits.

Although the soul masters who grow up in this way will be more powerful, their will and strength are far beyond the ordinary soul masters, but... it's too dangerous! Anyway, he will never let Dugu Yan do such a thing!

Anyone who encourages others to challenge the limit spirit ring is either stupid or evil! As long as you understand how dangerous this thing is, you will definitely not say words of encouragement!
