Next, Ning Bei prepared to consume the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid and the Autumn Water Dew. One of these Immortal Herbs could increase his spirit power cultivation, while the other could enhance his mental force.
After his body was tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ning Bei's physical strength was greatly enhanced. If his mental force was also strengthened, he could consider acquiring a higher-year spirit ring in the future.
Even if his Spirit Ability did not benefit from the year limit of a Spirit Beast, a higher-year spirit ring provided more spirit power, allowing Ning Bei to produce more medicinal pills at the same level.
After receiving the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Dugu Yan prepared to absorb the Immortal Herb on the spot. Dugu Bo was nowhere to be found, presumably having gone to find a place to study the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss.
After telling Dugu Yan how to consume it, she ate it in a few bites, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the medicinal power.
Seeing this, Ning Bei also took out the Autumn Water Dew from the Dan Tower, preparing to use it. Of course, he also left seeds in the Dan Tower for future cultivation.
He dripped the dew from the Immortal Herb's leaves into his eyes, then Ning Bei also sat cross-legged to refine the medicinal power. This was a rather long process for two Spirit Grandmasters. During this period, Dugu Bo returned to check on them, and seeing no adverse reactions, he went back to studying the poisonous herbs.
Three days passed in a flash. Ning Bei opened his eyes and sensed his surroundings. The entire World seemed clearer, and his five senses became sharper. This was the benefit of increased mental force. If only Ning Bei knew the Purple Demon Eye, he would have definitely advanced a level.
He glanced at Dugu Yan, who was still absorbing the medicinal power beside him. Ning Bei did not disturb her, and continued to take out the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid from the Dan Tower and consume it, then continued to refine the medicinal power.
During this time, Sword Douluo came for a visit because Ning Bei had not returned to the Sect this week, which had made Ning Fengzhi and others a bit worried.
Seeing that Ning Bei was unharmed and was absorbing an Immortal Herb, Sword Douluo felt relieved. After leaving a letter, he returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes after the seventh day, felt the changes in herself, and was immediately overjoyed.
She turned to look at Ning Bei but did not disturb him. She sat cross-legged beside him, her beautiful eyes studying the boy in front of her. He had solved her Spirit problem and helped her Spirit evolve. She felt she could hardly repay him.
Slowly, Dugu Yan seemed to think of something, and a blush gradually crept onto her pretty face.
Ning Bei, who was absorbing the Immortal Herb's medicinal power, seemed to feel something wet lightly touch his face. He thought it must be an insect from the herb garden and paid it no mind, continuing to absorb the medicinal power.
Two days later, Ning Bei finished absorbing the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid's medicinal power. He opened his eyes. The long period of sitting cross-legged had made his legs a bit numb. He stood up and stretched, feeling the changes in his Spirit.
Of course, the Dan Tower had not improved; it was already a top-tier Spirit, and Ning Bei hadn't expected much in that regard. His spirit power had reached a bottleneck, meaning he only needed to acquire one spirit ring to become a Spirit Elder. He just didn't know how many levels his spirit power would reach after absorbing the spirit ring.
In the original work, Oscar had directly broken through to the Spirit Ancestor realm with the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, and at that time, Oscar had only recently obtained his third spirit ring.
He looked at Dugu Yan beside him. The girl had fallen asleep after a long wait, her head bobbing, which was quite adorable.
He gently poked her delicate cheek and whispered in her ear, "You're drooling."
Dugu Yan instantly woke up at the sound, hurriedly wiped the corner of her mouth, and realizing she had been tricked, she threw a flurry of wild punches at Ning Bei.
"You bad guy, how dare you trick me!"
He grimaced and feigned pain, begging for mercy for a long time before Dugu Yan finally let him go.
Ning Bei then remembered something.
"Oh, right, Yanzi, what did you gain from absorbing the Immortal Herb?"
Dugu Yan smiled triumphantly and immediately entered Spirit Possession state. All the toxins from her Spirit had been forced into the Spirit Bone in her right arm, so her Spirit Possession was no longer risky.
The original Azure Scale Snake's head now had a pair of short horns.
Ning Bei looked at her with pleasant surprise.
"Yanzi, did you transform into a dragon? No, not quite a dragon, it should be a Jiaolong."
Dugu Yan nodded, confirming his guess.
"That's right, my Spirit should now be called the Azure Scale Jiaolong, and my spirit power level has already reached level 30."
Ning Bei listened to Dugu Yan's joyful voice and smiled slightly. He could understand her feelings. She had just obtained her second spirit ring, then went home, absorbed a Spirit Bone, ate a melon, and now she was directly at level 30. Anyone would be excited.
"What about you? Ning Bei, has your spirit power level increased? Don't let me surpass you, you know you're older than me."
Ning Bei looked amusedly at the smug Dugu Yan, thinking, "Is this the competitive spirit of a child?"
"How childish, but there's no way I can lose to you."
"I've also reached level 30, and I feel it's far more than level 30. I'll only know exactly how much it increased once I obtain my third spirit ring."
Dugu Yan's fantasy shattered, and she pouted angrily.
"You're so annoying."
She felt that she had barely broken through to level 30, and most of the medicinal power had been used to improve her Spirit. Even if she obtained a third spirit ring, her level would definitely be lower than Ning Bei's.
After the two shared the joy of their improvements, Ning Bei then noticed a letter at his feet. Opening it, he found it was Chen Xin's handwriting.
It said to return to the Sect immediately after absorbing the Immortal Herb.
Ning Bei was worried that the Sect had an urgent matter, so he instructed Dugu Yan to wait there for Dugu Bo.
"The Elders of the Sect seem to have something for me. I need to go back first. I'll come see you next time."
He rushed back to the Sect, panting, and arrived at the deliberation hall, finding Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo, Sword and Bone, there.
"Father, two Grandfathers, is something wrong?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Bei with a chuckle.
"What, did I interrupt your dating? How long has it been since you returned to the Sect?"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes at the teasing. How old was he? What kind of dating?
However, seeing that they didn't seem to have an urgent matter, Ning Bei asked doubtfully:
"Then what's so urgent that you called me back?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at him exasperatedly.
"You haven't given me this week's Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid yet. The Sect's disciples don't have any medicine to use. Don't you have any awareness as the Sect's Young Master?"
"Uh..."
Ning Bei scratched his head awkwardly. He had indeed forgotten about that.
He skillfully made a batch of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, then took out some he had made at school from his storage necklace and handed them all to Ning Fengzhi.
"I had an important matter and forgot about the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, didn't I? I'm making it up to you now."
Ning Fengzhi took the jade bottle and nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ning Bei.
"Tell me, how big of a benefit did you get this time, you rascal?"
