Su Wen sighed disappointedly.
"Indeed, it's only the ability to replicate into the current juvenile form."
Su Wen's Martial Spirit transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor. However, when Su Wen communicated with the Martial Spirit, he only found basic Spirit Skills such as entanglement.
What a pity.
But it's not a big problem.
The Phantom Eye on his forehead appeared, observing the entire cave.
Soon, his gaze fixed on the stone wall of the cave. A page after page flew out, knocking down a black box that was about one and a half meters long from the pitch-black cave ceiling.
Bang!
The black box landed.
There were no locks on the black box, and Su Wen directly opened it. Unparalleled Soul Power surged out, instantly causing the entire space to seem as if it had solidified.
A Spirit Bone emitting a sparkling blue-golden light quietly rested in the center of the black box.
In terms of shape, it appeared to be a right leg bone.
A gentle aura emanated from the right leg bone.
Su Wen reached out and took out this Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, feeling the surging energy within. Suppressing the urge to immediately absorb it, he swiftly placed it back into the black box and stored the black box in a storage spirit tool.
At this moment, the juvenile form of the Blue Silver Emperor began to shake, and its originally gentle aura turned malicious, expressing dissatisfaction with Su Wen's actions.
Glancing at it, Su Wen directly uprooted the Blue Silver Emperor and then stowed it in the Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch.
Since the replicated Blue Silver Emperor comes in its current juvenile form, the Spirit Ring obtained after killing it is merely a white ten-year Spirit Ring.
Regarding this, Su Wen expressed his disinterest.
Either he could place it in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for further cultivation, accumulate tens of thousands of years of cultivation, and then absorb its Spirit Ring, or he could use it as a means to threaten Tang Hao.
Su Wen dared not confine himself within the framework of a righteous and upright gentleman; it was too uncomfortable. Following the righteous path meant conforming to a set of principles that he found restrictive. Erasing his traces, Su Wen quickly left the valley.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to record the topography of this spiritually attuned place within his Martial Spirit.
...
New Moon Village.
"Xiaowen, you've been back for several months now. It hasn't affected your cultivation, has it?" Old Jerry asked.
Su Wen chuckled, saying, "Grandpa, don't worry. I've actually been practicing even faster these past few months."
"That's good, that's good."
"And it seems like I've grasped that Spirit Fusion Method of yours," Old Jerry mentioned.
Despite his old age, there were certain advantages. Decades of companionship with his Martial Spirit gradually improved their fusion. With the explicit guidance of Su Wen's Spirit Fusion Technique and a clear Soul Power Circulation Route, Old Jerry mastered the Spirit Fusion Method in less than three months.
"Oh?" Su Wen was surprised by Old Jerry's speed.
"Alright, Grandpa, next, you can learn this technique." While expressing his surprise, Su Wen summoned his Martial Spirit and sketched out another set of techniques on a blank page.
"More to learn?" Old Jerry showed a look of distress. As an elderly man, he had already learned many techniques by now.
Su Wen's External Strength and Internal Strength used for cultivating Soul Power, along with the Spirit Fusion Technique, and some scattered Soul Power Circulation Routes sketched together by Su Wen in the past two months, were already quite a handful for him to practice simultaneously.
And now, here comes another one.
Isn't this making it difficult for an old man like me?
Of course, Old Jerry also knew that Su Wen's intentions were good.
"What's the purpose of this new technique?" Old Jerry curiously asked.
"Hehe, for this technique, you just need to familiarize yourself with the Soul Power Circulation Route. The real effects will only manifest when you absorb the Spirit Ring." Su Wen chuckled.
Hearing that it was related to absorbing Spirit Rings, Old Jerry immediately found motivation.
It seems like this is the final preparation his grandson has made for him.
After taking the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, Su Wen had mentioned helping Old Jerry absorb asecond ring this is a thousand-year-old.
Old Jerry, informed by Su Wen about the difficulty of the leap-level absorption of a Soul Ring, had been diligently practicing according to Su Wen's instructions.
Now, it seems the time has come.
However, upon careful examination of the Soul Power Circulation Route sketched by Su Wen on the Martial Spirit, Old Jerry felt dizzy for a moment.
There were so many, and it's quite complex.
That was his initial impression.
After going through the entire route, Old Jerry still stuck to this impression.
"Grandpa, you must remember these routes. Otherwise, if there's any oversight, you won't be able to withstand the Soul Power impact from the Spirit Ring."
Listening to Su Wen's instructions, Old Jerry became more serious, earnestly memorizing the numerous routes Su Wen provided.
Su Wen's pages merged into Old Jerry's body.
"Grandpa, follow my guidance to circulate Soul Power. Let me guide you through it first," Su Wen said.
The pages transformed into a stream of energy circulating within Old Jerry's body, driving Old Jerry's Soul Power to circulate along with it.
After completing the route once, the power of the pages was completely depleted.
Old Jerry then maintained this circulation by manipulating and mobilizing his own Soul Power.
As Old Jerry familiarized himself with this Soul Power Circulation Route, he followed Su Wen out of New Moon Village and headed towards Sunset Forest.
...
Ten days later.
"Grandpa, are you sure there won't be any mistakes?" Su Wen asked again, expressing his concern.
"Rest assured," Old Jerry patted his chest, displaying a confident demeanor.
"Alright."
"Grandpa, this is Grandpa Dugu, Dugu Bo, with the title Poison. He has taken care of me quite a bit," Su Wen introduced Old Jerry to Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa Dugu, this is Grandpa Jerry, who raised me."
Shocked that Su Wen knew a Titled Douluo, Old Jerry didn't dare to be negligent. Subconsciously, he thought that the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato Su Wen brought for him was given by Dugu Bo.
"Thank you, Poison Douluo, for taking care of Xiaowen," Old Jerry expressed his gratitude.
Dugu Bo didn't show any displeasure; instead, he was quite friendly, waving his hand, saying, "Don't say that. Xiaowen has also helped me a lot."
"Grandpa Dugu, this time I'm taking Grandpa Jerry to hunt for Spirit Rings, searching in the Sunset Forest. You are familiar with Sunset Forest; can you help us with some advice?"
"Sure. What's your Martial Spirit, Old Jerry? What type of Spirit Ring are you looking for?" Dugu Bo asked.
"My Martial Spirit was originally a Sweet Potato, but it just evolved into a Golden Dragon Sweet Potato," Old Jerry summoned his Martial Spirit.
The golden leaf veins, enveloped in Dragon Qi, appeared, surprising Dugu Bo.
A food-type Martial Spirit!
Moreover, it had evolved to such an extent.
"What kind of Spirit Ring are you planning to absorb for your second Spirit Ring?" Dugu Bo asked.
"A thousand-year-old Spirit Ring, preferably one related to restoring Soul Power or healing," Old Jerry replied.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen, and the meaning in his eyes was clear.
Are you sure?
Your grandfather isn't just talking nonsense, is he?
A second Spirit Ring, a thousand years old?
Learned that from you?
You two are truly grandfather and grandson!
Su Wen nodded, indicating that there was absolutely no problem.
Why can't my Grandpa Jerry have a second ring from a thousand years old Spirit?
After all, it's the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, with a considerable boost to the physique. Is it really absurd to elevate the second ring from over seven hundred years to a thousand years old?
