Chapter 68: Physique Changes, Earth Dragon Lizard
Li Tian peered over and saw Dugu Yan was in the midst of her evolution.
Only then did he climb ashore.
He took out a towel, dried himself, and quickly put on his clothes.
“Senior, how is it?”
Dugu Bo laughed, “Excellent, even better than this old man expected.”
Saying that.
Dugu Bo informed Li Tian in detail about the changes in his Spirit.
Li Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that the nine-rank dragon mushroom wouldn't be able to resolve the inherent flaw of the Blue Phosphorus Serpent.
After all, if it didn't work, he wouldn't know what to do.
Forcing toxins into a Spirit Bone was, in the end, merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
Li Tian said, “The medicinal power of the dragon mushroom should not have been fully absorbed yet. For the next year, you must diligently Cultivate, and after the medicinal power is fully absorbed, you can try using another Heaven And Earth Treasure.”
Nine-rank is, after all, only nine-rank.
After the medicinal power is fully absorbed, using another Immortal Herb shouldn't be considered a waste.
As for Li Tian's own fierce yang apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, they couldn't directly increase spirit power, but their medicinal power also hadn't been fully absorbed. For the next six months, his spirit power should enter a period of rapid growth.
In the original work.
After Tang San consumed two Immortal Herbs, his spirit power increased by three levels in just half a year.
And it was three levels of spirit power at the Spirit Elder Realm.
Li Tian is only at level twenty now, so four or five levels in half a year is not impossible.
As for other Immortal Herbs...
It depends on the situation.
Immortal Herbs are rare, and using them just to increase a few levels of spirit power would be quite a waste.
“Alright, this old man will listen to you.”
Dugu Bo said cheerfully, with an unspeakable sense of joy in his heart.
Li Tian began to clear out the goods.
He picked all the Immortal Herbs, leaving the roots, and even dug out the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
He didn't let go of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo either.
After all, although the periphery here was protected by poisonous mist, it wasn't completely safe.
If other things were stolen, then so be it.
But if the Immortal Herbs were stolen, the loss would be too great.
Dugu Bo didn't say much.
He was old, and these things had no meaning in his hands.
Let's just consider them as a dowry. Li Tian handed an Earth Dragon Golden Gourd to Dugu Bo: “This is the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, an earth-attribute plant that can greatly enhance the defense of Beast Spirit Masters.”
Strength plus defense, it couldn't be a better match.
Moreover, there were two Earth Dragon Golden Gourds, just enough for the grandfather and grandson to each have one.
“Alright.”
Dugu Bo smiled as he took it and put it into his treasure pouch.
Finally.
Li Tian came before the Forgetful Autumn Water Dew.
The Forgetful Autumn Water Dew's function was to enhance mental force, and it didn't conflict with other Immortal Herbs.
Li Tian drank the dew from the flower, and the flower immediately withered.
Then he sat cross-legged, circulated his spirit power, and began to refine the medicinal power.
The improvement in mental force was not obvious.
After all, Li Tian hadn't Cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, so he couldn't observe it through Realm Breakthroughs.
He just felt that his mind seemed much clearer.
The most direct feeling was that many memories that had been forgotten.
All came back to him.
When Li Tian woke up again, Dugu Yan had also completed her Spirit evolution.
Dugu Yan said gratefully, “Li Tian, thank you.”
She deeply understood the power of a Dragon-type Spirit. Although they were using their own things, if not for Li Tian, they wouldn't have known the effects of those items.
Li Tian teased, “I'm tired of verbal thanks.”
“Dream on.”
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at him, turning her head away proudly.
Dugu Bo smiled.
This was why he didn't stop Li Tian from clearing out the goods; they would all be family sooner or later, so there was no need to be so clear-cut.
With Dugu Bo's help, the three returned to the mountaintop.
“Senior Dugu Bo, could you help me test the strength of my Physique?”
Li Tian didn't know what level his Physique had reached now, and without a good test, it would be difficult to determine the limit of the spirit ring he could withstand.
“Alright!”
Dugu Bo nodded, then stepped forward and felt Li Tian's body all over.
He was checking the strength of his muscles and bones.
This kind of test wasn't precise, so unless there was a huge difference in Physique compared to a Spirit Master of the same level, there was no need for such a test.
After all, if the difference was too small, testing wouldn't reveal much.
“Hmm?”
As he felt around, Dugu Bo couldn't help but let out a surprised murmur.
How could this kid's Physique strength have increased so much?
But a moment of thought brought understanding.
He could even swim in that hot spring, so what was so surprising about these improvements?
Dugu Bo said, “It's roughly equivalent to a low-level Spirit Ancestor.”
A low-level Spirit Ancestor also meant that the limit of his second spirit ring could reach around five thousand years.
This was a bit frightening.
If his mental force strength could be resolved, his third spirit ring could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Li Tian secretly nodded, which was about what he had estimated.
As for a ten-thousand-year third spirit ring, he didn't dare, nor could he try it.
Tang San had Cultivated the Purple Demon Eye since childhood.
Coupled with the help of the Forgetful Autumn Water Dew, absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth spirit ring was extremely difficult.
Li Tian dared not gamble with his own life, and a thousand-year second spirit ring, a ten-thousand-year third spirit ring, that would be a bit too terrifying.
Qian Renxue might not even be able to protect him.
It wasn't impossible that she would even take the lead in capturing him and torturing him.
It was safer to stick to something closer to ten thousand years.
Li Tian asked, “Senior Dugu Bo, are there any Dragon-type Spirit Beasts in this Sunset Forest?”
Logically speaking.
As the fallen place of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, the Sunset Forest should not lack Dragon-type Spirit Beasts.
And Dragon-type, as the top-tier Spirit Beasts.
Both their strength and defense could be considered top-tier.
For both Li Tian and Dugu Yan, they were undoubtedly the best choice.
Dugu Bo laughed, “There are no purebred ones, but there are sub-Dragon species. It's just that they mostly live in groups, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to hunt them.”
Li Tian smiled.
His 'ordinary people' certainly didn't include himself, so a Dragon-type spirit ring was secured.
“Let's go.”
Dugu Bo grabbed the two of them and rapidly rushed in one direction.
His target seemed very clear.
Dugu Bo led Li Tian and Dugu Yan, swiftly moving through the Sunset Forest.
He unreservedly released his aura.
Wherever he passed, Spirit Beasts that sensed his aura retreated in alarm.
None dared to step forward and cause trouble.
After rushing for almost two hours, Dugu Bo finally began to restrain his aura.
It seemed they were getting close.
Dugu Bo brought Li Tian and Dugu Yan to the top of a valley.
A Spirit Beast tribe resided in the valley.
They were a type of Spirit Beast with a pair of fleshy wings on their backs, covered in brown scales, somewhat resembling Western Dragons, but with pointed heads.
They looked more like lizards.
Earth Dragon Lizard.
A sub-Dragon species, a top-tier Spirit Beast. They reach ten thousand years upon adulthood and possess the strength to defeat ordinary Spirit Beasts below fifty thousand years with their ten-thousand-year cultivation.
The undisputed choice for strength and defense-type Spirit Masters.
Spirit Beasts of this quality would be a stroke of luck to encounter even one in other Spirit Beast forests, yet a whole group lived in the Sunset Forest.
If this spread, they would probably be wiped out before long.
