Facing Dugu Bo's inquiry, Su Wen did not hide anything.
Besides himself, the clearest understanding of his Soul Power level now belonged to Dugu Bo and Old Jerry.
Even Xiao Zhan probably only knew that Su Wen had broken through level forty, without knowing that Su Wen's Soul Power had directly mutated after obtaining the Fourth Spirit Ring.
Of course, perhaps after absorbing the medicinal power of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and completing the breakthrough, Xiao Zhan might be able to speculate on some things.
But Xiao Zhan was not an outsider, so Su Wen didn't need to be on guard.
"Level forty-nine."
When Dugu Bo heard Su Wen's reported Soul Power level, he repeated it, somewhat absent-minded.
"Level forty-nine."
Su Wen is only fourteen years old this year!
"Are you close to level fifty as well? Do you have hope of breaking through in a short time?" Dugu Bo asked.
Su Wen nodded, indicating that this was not a problem.
Dugu Bo's gaze shifted, seeming to think of something.
"Xiaowen, do you want to absorb another precious medicinal herb? This way, you can directly break through level fifty, and after obtaining the Fifth Spirit Ring, your Soul Power will inevitably increase a lot. This way, you have a chance to break through to level sixty before the Spirit Master Competition."
Su Wen was speechless.
"Grandpa Dugu, I have already taken four precious medicinal herbs. There is already too much medicinal power accumulated in my body. If I absorb more, I feel like my Soul Power will become unstable."
There's no saying about having a foundation in the Douluo Continent, but relying on gradually cultivated Soul Power is more reliable. Using medicinal herbs like the Immortal Grass to accumulate Soul Power actually skips a step in transforming Source Soul Power.
Although it is no different from the Soul Power cultivated by oneself and has no harm.
However, once this part of Soul Power occupies too large a proportion, Su Wen feels that it may cause a decrease in the Spirit Master's control over Soul Power.
Imagine, if a Spirit Master's Soul Power inside the body is mostly transformed by various medicinal powers of Immortal Grass, accumulated, and not cultivated by the Spirit Master himself, how terrifying that would be.
You know nothing about the source of your power.
Of course, besides the aspect of controlling Soul Power, increasing Soul Power too much with medicinal power itself can also lead to a large amount of medicinal power accumulating in the body.
The mixture of various precious medicinal herbs' medicinal powers deposited in the body may make digestion even more difficult. Over time, it may form medicinal toxicity.
Su Wen is immune to all poisons, but it does not mean he is truly immune to any toxins.
Just as immunity to all poisons still cannot resist the power of aphrodisiacs, medicinal toxicity itself is a kind of medicinal power, and the constitution of immunity to all poisons will also be troubled by it.
The accumulation of medicinal toxicity throughout the body will not only hinder the Spirit Master from further digesting the accumulated medicinal power, but also affect the functions of various parts of the body, thereby affecting the efficiency of cultivation.
Dugu Bo naturally understands this principle, and just now he only mentioned it on a whim.
After all, in the history of the Spirit Master Competition held in the Douluo Continent, there has never been a participant of Spirit Emperor level.
Not to mention Spirit Emperor, even Spirit King is not present in every session.
And if Su Wen can reach Spirit Emperor level in the Spirit Master Competition, and still achieve it at the age of sixteen, he will definitely become instantly famous throughout the continent.
Dugu Bo hasn't forgotten Su Wen's idea of establishing the Wisdom Palace. He now basically regards himself as one of the elders of the Wisdom Palace.
After all, the talent shown by Su Wen now is already unbelievable; at fourteen years old, at level forty-nine, he has a complete chance to reach Spirit King before he turns fifteen.
Estimate that Tang Hao's record as the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent will be surpassed by Su Wen, I wonder how many years in advance.
A Titled Douluo at thirty years old?
Just the thought makes Dugu Bo excited.
In other words, within twenty years, Su Wen will be able to achieve Titled Douluo status. With two Titled Douluos in the Wisdom Palace, they will be no less powerful than the top forces of the Three Clans today.
With Xiao Zhan on top of that,
During Su Wen's reign, the Wisdom Palace will definitely stabilize and become the top power on the entire continent in the future.
As an elder-level figure of such a promising power, Dugu Bo naturally can just sit back and enjoy the results.
He was just so excited about the possibility of Su Wen revealing his Spirit Emperor cultivation in the Spirit Master Competition that he even overlooked the pharmacological aspects. It's because he's so eager to contribute to the establishment of the Wisdom Palace's reputation in its early days.
"In fact, I think the medicinal properties of that Beautiful Silk Tulip are quite compatible with the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid you took before. When I was researching various precious medicinal herbs before, I also collected some of their emitted aura for research."
After Su Wen resolved Dugu Bo's toxins, his research on various medicinal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became more profound.
After all, without the burden of toxins in his body, he could research many poisonous herbs more safely, without fear of causing mutations in his own toxins.
He felt that the medicinal power of the Beautiful Silk Tulip, combined with that of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, could have a greater effect.
"The Beautiful Silk Tulip is elegant and noble, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. I plan to give it to Rongrong," Su Wen said.
Dugu Bo frowned.
Although Su Wen could freely take any herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, these precious medicinal herbs had the effect of refining the essence and marrow, allowing Spirit Masters to undergo a transformation. Su Wen giving the Beautiful Silk Tulip to Ning Rongrong wasn't something he looked upon favorably.
Ning Rongrong doesn't actually have much use for Su Wen now.
Su Wen doesn't explain this either.
After spending a long time together, feelings naturally develop, and besides, it's not as if there are no benefits for Su Wen from a relationship based on mutual interests.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with its eighth and ninth Spirit Skills, are both life-saving techniques. Not only are they useful for Auxiliary Spirit Masters like Ning Rongrong, but if a battle Spirit Master can obtain two major protective Spirit Skills, they can also fight more recklessly.
Although this benefit seems somewhat insignificant compared to the effects of the Beautiful Silk Tulip.
"Grandpa Dugu, are you planning to use this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum as a dowry for Sister Yan to marry Yu Tianheng?" Su Wen pointed to the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and asked.
Dugu Bo nodded, not hiding his intentions.
Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has sent such a top-notch Spirit Bone, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to use the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his possession.
From an objective standpoint, the value of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is obviously greater.
Of course, Su Wen won't try to persuade otherwise.
Just like how he still intends to give the Beautiful Silk Tulip to Ning Rongrong for absorption, helping her evolve her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit, some things cannot be purely measured from a value perspective.
"Yan'er, you're almost done absorbing it."
The absorption of Immortal Grass doesn't take too long. After three hours of refining, Dugu Yan's Soul Power fluctuations stabilized.
She opened her eyes, looking shocked.
"Grandpa, I just broke through level forty directly, and it seems like I've surpassed that!" She exclaimed, her mouth agape, stunned by the effects of the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone.
