Several days later, Tianlin and Rongrong returned to the sect. Rongrong had successfully absorbed the ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring and advanced to Soul Ancestor. Even though Tianlin withdrew the assistance of Illusory Water Shocking Thunder, she did not regress back to Soul Grandmaster, because that ten-thousand-year fourth ring provided her with nearly three levels of Spirit power. At this moment, she had reached level forty-two, the strongest among the current Shrek Seven Devils.
In addition, Ma Hongjun also successfully obtained his third Spirit Ring. The Spirit power amplification from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was fully displayed. His current level was thirty-six, and he hoped to become a Soul Ancestor before the Soul Master Competition.
Tomorrow, Tianlin planned to send Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong back to the original Blue Tyrant Academy. After all, the competition was imminent. Since they had joined Shrek, they should take on their responsibilities. Besides, it was almost time for him to return to Royal Fight; he couldn't always be absent from the team.
On the night before leaving, Tianlin sought out Ning Fengzhi and handed him the four types of Hidden Weapon manufacturing blueprints he had obtained from Tang San. Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed after reading them. The materials for these weapons were simple, and their lethality was acceptable. With the wealth of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they could be produced in large quantities and equipped to direct disciples.
That night, Ning Fengzhi sent people to Gengxin City, the city of metals, to purchase a large quantity of manufacturing materials and to hire blacksmiths to help at the sect.
Tianlin had once again made a great contribution to the sect. Ning Fengzhi didn't know what to reward him with, only knowing that, that night, Ning Fengzhi locked himself in the records room and wrote furiously all night.
The next morning, Tianlin got up early to bid farewell to Master and Ning Fengzhi, only to see Ning Fengzhi with dark circles under his eyes.
"Uncle Ning, what's wrong?" A dignified Soul Douluo shouldn't look like this, even after staying up all night.
"Fengzhi has been preparing a gift for you, intending to give it to you before you return to the Academy. He hasn't slept for days for this," Chen Xin explained.
Gu Rong nodded, "Yes, in the past few days, to prevent the sect disciples from noticing and affecting his image, he even used his concubine's foundation to cover his dark circles. But you're leaving in a hurry today, and Fengzhi didn't even have time to put on makeup."
"This, Uncle Ning, you've really gone to a lot of trouble for me." Although Tianlin didn't know what Ning Fengzhi had prepared for him, he was grateful for his dedication, no matter what it was.
"Haha, it's nothing, this is something I promised you long ago." Ning Fengzhi took out a book from his arms, "Do you remember, Xiao Tian, I once promised you that even if it cost me my entire life, I would definitely solve the drawbacks of your Twin Spirits. Now, I've finally done it!"
"What?" Tianlin was a little surprised. In the original story, only Tang San and Bibi Dong had solved the drawbacks of Twin Spirits, and they both did so with the help of divine trials. Ning Fengzhi actually said that he had done it on his own.
Tianlin took the book from Ning Fengzhi's hand. The cover had six large characters: 'Soul Guiding Bone Tempering Method'. This was Ning Fengzhi's notes, and every word in this book was written by Ning Fengzhi himself. "I've been researching this cultivation method for several years, ever since I learned about your Twin Spirits," Ning Fengzhi said, "Originally, there was no need to be so urgent, but I didn't expect you to start adding Spirit Rings to your second Spirit so early, and it was a million years right from the start, so I could only speed up the progress."
"Thank you, Uncle Ning, this seems to be a method for guiding the power of Spirit Rings." Tianlin flipped through a few pages and saw some clues.
"That's right, the biggest drawback of Twin Spirits is that when adding Spirit Rings to the second Spirit, the added attributes of the Spirit Ring exceed the upper limit of what the human body can bear, resulting in death by explosion. Even a body full of Spirit Bones is sometimes not enough, because except for External Spirit Bones, the age of other Spirit Bones is fixed like Spirit Rings, and there is also the possibility of exceeding the upper limit."
What Ning Fengzhi said made a lot of sense. Although Tianlin already had a Spirit Bone that was as high as a million years old, he also had a million-year Spirit Ring. Just to bear that Spirit Ring, he was already close to the upper limit of what the million-year Spirit Bone could bear.
What about the other Spirit Rings in the future? Tianlin only had four Spirit Bone slots left, but there were still twelve Spirit Rings to add. Among them, there would inevitably be several Spirit Rings that were more than one hundred thousand years old, and Spirit Bones would simply not be enough.
"Xiao Tian, let me tell you about the origin of this cultivation method. You also know that the successive sect masters of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have been working hard for one thing in their lives, and that is to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. We have used all kinds of methods, although without exception the results have been failures, but they have also left many valuable assets for my sect."
"One of the sect masters, he invented a very special cultivation method, which is to guide out all the power that the Spirit Ring provides to the Soul Master when adding the Spirit Ring, and temper the Spirit to complete the Spirit evolution."
"And the one in your hand is the one I evolved from that sect master's cultivation method, but instead of tempering the Spirit, I changed it to tempering the Spirit Bone. This is a win-win strategy, which can not only prevent your body from exploding due to excessive energy, but also use these excess energy to increase the strength of the Spirit Bone and increase your body's upper limit. The reason why I gave you that sixty-thousand-year leg bone was to prepare for today."
"Amazing!" Tianlin couldn't help but admire the successive sect masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Sure enough, each of them was a theoretical master, especially Ning Fengzhi, who created this magical cultivation method, and the one who perfected this cultivation method.
"It's just a pity." After flipping through a few pages, Tianlin found a big loophole.
"It is indeed a pity, but I can't continue to study it. If I continue, it will be against the natural order, and besides, I can't do it anyway. The research has reached my theoretical limit." Ning Fengzhi knew that Tianlin had seen the problem with this cultivation method, not a drawback, but that it had not been researched to the limit.
When a Soul Master absorbs a Spirit Ring, it is divided into two stages. The first is to withstand the attack from the Spirit Ring. If they can't withstand it, they will die by explosion. The second is to successfully pass the dangerous period and use the power of the Spirit Ring to temper the body, strengthen the body's various attributes, and generate Spirit skills.
Ning Fengzhi's cultivation method can only be used after the second step, otherwise, everyone can become a Soul Master who crosses the age limit, and those high-age Spirit Beasts on the continent will be endlessly hunted, which is indeed against the natural order.
But even so, this cultivation method still has epoch-making significance. Once it spreads out, it will cause the entire continent to tremble. This cultivation method seems to only be suitable for Twin Spirits Soul Masters, because single Spirit Soul Masters simply cannot afford to extract the power of the Spirit Ring and use it elsewhere. After all, the Soul Master himself is the foundation of everything. If the body is not strong, nothing else matters.
Moreover, the ratio is also very unfavorable. For example, if all the energy of a one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring is used to temper the Spirit Bone, it can only increase the age of the Spirit Bone by twenty thousand years, a ratio of five to one. Unless it is a Twin Spirits Soul Master with a Spirit Ring age that is too high to spend, who would be willing to do such a losing business.
But there is one thing, if this method of tempering Spirit Bones is obtained by an evil sect, what will they do? They will definitely brainwash people from a young age, let them practice this cultivation method from a young age, and then provide them with Spirit Bones. Then, they will let them use all the power when they advance to absorb Spirit Rings to temper the Spirit Bones. Finally, they will kill people again to take the bones. Wouldn't this be able to mass-produce high-age Spirit Bones?
Anyway, such Soul Masters, because they have lost the energy provided by the Spirit Ring, their bodies are as weak as ordinary people, and they have no combat power at all. There is no need to feel sorry for killing them.
"Uncle Ning, this cultivation method must not be revealed to anyone else besides the two of us," Tianlin said solemnly.
Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction, it seemed Tianlin also knew the importance of this method, "That's right, Xiao Tian, so I'll give you one day to completely memorize the cultivation method, and then, don't even leave a speck of dust behind!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't plan to keep this cultivation method either. Once this technique was leaked, the price would be too great, a huge price called human lives, a responsibility he couldn't bear.
"Yes, Uncle Ning!" Tianlin immediately agreed.
The happiest at this moment was the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. The energy of the 200,000-year Spirit Ring sealed by it was almost unable to be suppressed and was about to dissipate. Seeing that it was about to be wasted, it felt deeply regretful, but it didn't expect that Ning Fengzhi, this theoretical monster, would suddenly send it such a great gift.
