If absorbing the third Spirit Ring still doesn't allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then the hope can only be placed on the fourth Spirit Ring.
In the past two years, Ning Fengzhi has not only been dispatching the Sword and Bone Titled Douluo in rotation to hunt Spirit Beasts, but he has also simultaneously sent people to search for the gem-type Spirit Beasts that Ning Rongrong will need in the future.
Aside from the eight-hundred-year Emerald Bird that Ning Rongrong has already absorbed, and the two-thousand-five-hundred-year Ruby Sun Flower she is about to absorb.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has also captured a White Jade Mystic Turtle of over seven thousand years, which will serve as Ning Rongrong's fourth Spirit Ring and provide a Defense Amplification Spirit Skill.
As for the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts required for five rings and above, capturing them is not difficult for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, after Spirit Beasts reach ten thousand years of cultivation, their intelligence greatly increases. Coupled with the fact that most Spirit Beasts are naturally arrogant, raising them is extremely difficult.
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi merely had people note down the activity areas of suitable target Spirit Beasts, so they could be hunted directly in those regions when needed in the future.
Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Jade – these are the gems represented by the four Spirit Beasts.
The Spirit Rings produced by these Spirit Beast types will provide the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with Attribute Amplification for Strength, Agility, Soul Power, and Defense, respectively.
If, by the time Ning Rongrong absorbs the Spirit Ring of the White Jade Mystic Turtle, the eighth layer phantom of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda still hasn't completely solidified.
Then, even if it means Ning Rongrong's fifth Spirit Skill isn't an Attack Amplification, Ning Fengzhi will definitely find a gem-type Spirit Beast Spirit Ring representing Glazed for his daughter to absorb.
Although Glazed is considered a precious gem, it is fragile.
Therefore, gem-type Spirit Beasts representing Glazed are not compatible with the Strength, Agility, Soul Power, Defense, Attack, and Attribute Amplification required by the first six Spirit Skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, the attributes of such Spirit Beasts are highly compatible with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, making them the best choice for the seventh Spirit Ring's Martial Soul Incarnation.
It's just that because gem-type Spirit Rings representing Glazed are very rare, and the year limit for the seventh Spirit Ring cannot be less than thirty thousand years.
Thus, the sect masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect throughout the ages have never had the fortune to absorb such Spirit Beasts as their Martial Soul Incarnations.
It was only recently, while searching for a suitable target, that Bone Douluo encountered a Glazed gem-type Spirit Beast of over forty thousand years.
Bone Douluo understood that this Spirit Beast was extremely suitable as Ning Rongrong's seventh Spirit Ring, and since its cultivation did not exceed fifty thousand years, he did not attack it. Instead, he noted its activity range.
And when Ning Fengzhi obtained that sixty-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast head Spirit Bone, he also learned this news from Bone Douluo.
This made Ning Fengzhi overjoyed.
The Sunset Forest has an Agate Unicorn of over fifteen thousand years, representing the gem Agate, which can provide an Attack Amplification Spirit Skill.
The Star Dou Great Forest has an Azure Water Clam of over thirty-two thousand years, representing the gem Pearl, which can provide an Attribute Amplification Spirit Skill.
Coupled with the Glazed Snow Crystal Deer of over forty-seven thousand years in the Extreme North, representing the gem Glazed, it can serve as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Martial Soul Incarnation.
With this, all the Spirit Beasts required for his daughter's first seven Spirit Rings have been found.
Just as Ning Fengzhi was contemplating his daughter's targets for the eighth and ninth Spirit Rings, Ning Rongrong had already finished absorbing the Spirit Bone and regained consciousness.
...
In mid-March, Gu Yu arrives.
In the early morning, a light rain drizzles in the manor, veiled in a light mist.
It is now the last month of spring, and in a little over half a month, summer will begin.
Old butler Yu Yuan has been in seclusion since the late autumn and early winter of last year, a period of nearly half a year.
On this day, a grand door deep within the manor burst open, and a black-robed elder with a ruddy complexion emerged.
The black-robed elder, rarely showing a pleased expression, felt the vast and surging Soul Power within him like an ocean, and said with great emotion:
"After half a year of effort, this old man has finally broken through the bottleneck of level ninety with the residual medicinal power of the Immortal Herb within me."
"Only with the qualification of Innate Full Soul Power can one ignore the bottleneck between level eighty-nine and level ninety."
"Below Innate Full Soul Power, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through this bottleneck!"
"With my innate Soul Power of level eight and a half, if it weren't for the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb given by the young master, the probability of breaking through this bottleneck with my own strength would not exceed thirty percent."
In the current era, the understanding and development of the Spirit Master cultivation system by most people is still limited to Meditation, Spirit Rings, Spirit Bones, and self-created Spirit Skills.
The development of external forces such as herbs and secret recipes is extremely limited.
Therefore, in the conventional understanding of most Spirit Masters.
Absorbing Spirit Bones to improve one's aptitude and thus increase the probability of breaking through the level ninety bottleneck is the best and only way.
As for Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs and God Assessments, very few people know about them, and even if they did, they wouldn't be of much use.
Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs are extremely rare, encountered once in a thousand years.
God Assessments are even more of a double-edged sword; if the assessor fails the assessment, there is only a dead end. Moreover, there is a high threshold to become an assessor.
Speaking of Spirit Bones.
To increase the probability of breaking through from level eighty-nine to level ninety, the year limit of Spirit Bones must be at least ten thousand years. The higher the year limit and quality of the Spirit Bone, the greater the assistance in breaking through the level ninety bottleneck.
This is why Spirit Bones are so precious.
They are not only because Spirit Bones can provide additional Spirit Skills, but also because absorbing Spirit Bones can improve one's aptitude, giving the absorber hope of cultivating to a higher realm.
Having broken through to level ninety, the old butler's lingering worry disappeared.
As a hereditary Duke of Heaven Dou, the Lin Clan naturally has Spirit Bones passed down through generations, and there are three of them:
A right arm bone of around twelve thousand years, a head bone of around fourteen thousand years, and a torso bone of around fifteen thousand years.
These three spirit bones, combined with the top-tier plant system Martial Soul, the Dragon Soul Vine, which has at least level five innate soul power, allow every Duke of the Lin Clan to cultivate to the Soul Douluo realm.
Originally, all three of these spirit bones were absorbed by Lin Rong's grandfather.
After the old Duke passed away, before these three spirit bones could be absorbed by Lin Rong's father, he died in a beast tide, forever losing the chance to absorb them.
Currently, these three spirit bones are within the Azure Dragon Vine on Lin Rong's wrist.
Lin Rong was cared for by the old butler from childhood, so the old butler knew that his young master had high aspirations and disdained the three spirit bones passed down through the clan.
Because of this, the old butler worried that if he couldn't break through the bottleneck at level ninety in the future, his young master would have him absorb those three ten thousand year spirit bones to overcome this bottleneck.
Setting aside how many years these three spirit bones have been passed down in the Lin Clan, just the fact that they were once absorbed by the former master.
In the old butler's heart, these three spirit bones were a part of the former master, so he naturally was unwilling to absorb them.
Even though he knew that after absorbing these three ten thousand year spirit bones, the probability of breaking through the level ninety bottleneck would increase by about thirty percent.
But this was a matter of principle, and the old butler knew he absolutely could not do it.
Here's a bit of trivia: before jade from Myanmar was introduced to China, one of the Four Great Jade names, "fei cui," referred to the feathers of the kingfisher.
