"I wonder what brings Your Highness the Crown Prince here today?" Su Wen looked at 'Xue Qinghe' and asked in confusion.
He was somewhat curious about the other party's purpose in seeking him out this time.
"I heard from my teacher that you have new achievements regarding exceeding-limit spirit ring absorption. I actually wanted to see you again much earlier, but I didn't expect you to cultivate with the Poison Douluo for so long," 'Xue Qinghe' said.
Then, he put on a stern face. "Also, didn't I tell you to just call me Big Brother Xue?"
He appeared very approachable, without any of the oppressive aura of a superior, but rather quite amiable.
"Big Brother Xue," Su Wen said.
Only then did 'Xue Qinghe' smile.
Su Wen, meanwhile, secretly pondered the purpose the other party mentioned at the beginning.
Exceeding-limit spirit ring absorption?
When did I ever reveal research in this area to the outside world?
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ning Fengzhi and understood what 'Xue Qinghe' meant by "his" achievement.
It wasn't actually Su Wen's research achievement. Rather, Ning Fengzhi, understanding Su Wen's situation, had conducted research and made certain progress through multiple discussions with Su Wen.
And in these discussions, Su Wen had helped Ning Fengzhi solve most of the problems, so Ning Fengzhi didn't claim all the credit for this achievement for himself.
"Actually, most of it is Uncle Ning's own research. I just provided some ideas," Su Wen said modestly.
'Xue Qinghe' waved his hand, indicating that Su Wen didn't need to be modest. Ning Fengzhi had already told him how much Su Wen contributed.
"However, speaking of exceeding-limit spirit ring absorption, I do have another achievement." After careful consideration, Su Wen decided to reveal his Spirit Ascension Method in front of Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe'.
"Oh?"
Sure enough, both Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' showed curiosity about the other achievement Su Wen mentioned.
"Big Brother Xue, since you transferred me to the research institute, I have been conducting research on spirit power circulation pathways," Su Wen said.
'Xue Qinghe' adopted a listening posture, listening carefully to Su Wen's words.
Ning Fengzhi also listened to Su Wen's narration from the side.
"During my study under the Poison Douluo this time, I gained a more thorough understanding of the meridians in the human body. Using the concept of how medicine affects spirit power and the Spirit Master, I simulated some effects using spirit power circulation pathways and made a new discovery."
Up to this point, Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' still hadn't caught onto which aspect Su Wen's other achievement related to.
However, they could tell that this achievement of Su Wen's achieved a certain goal using spirit power circulation pathways as a means.
"I developed a set of circulation pathways, which I call the 'Spirit Ascension Method'. It can offset part of the impact of the spirit ring's power on the body when a Spirit Master absorbs a spirit ring. At the same time, it can also enhance the effect of absorbing the spirit ring, or rather, improve the effect of the spirit ring's transformation and enhancement of the spirit."
Su Wen finally stated his Spirit Ascension Method and its effects.
Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' were dazed for a moment.
Exceeding-limit spirit ring absorption!
It was actually a breakthrough in this area.
And it was achieved through spirit power circulation pathways.
It could reduce the pressure of the spirit ring's power on the body during absorption?
And it could also enhance the effect of the spirit ring's transformation of the spirit?
Both of them knew all too well how important such an effect was for a Spirit Master absorbing a spirit ring.
It could almost be said that without needing to deliberately train one's physical fitness, learning this set of Spirit Ascension Method could raise one's limit for absorbing spirit rings out of thin air.
Of course, only for rings below ten thousand years.
Above ten thousand years, to exceed the limit, one first had to solve the pressure of soul shock brought by exceeding-limit absorption.
And this undoubtedly involved the spiritual level, which was no longer easily solved.
But even if it only worked for rings below ten thousand years, this set of Spirit Ascension Method would absolutely be pursued by all Spirit Masters.
"However, this Spirit Ascension Method is quite complex," Su Wen also reminded the two.
His Book Spirit appeared in his right hand. The spirit opened, and a human body began to emerge on a blank page, with densely packed meridians appearing one by one.
Just seeing the distribution of these meridians, Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' sucked in a cold breath.
Honestly, Su Wen's ability to map out so many meridians exceeded their imagination. Crucially, Su Wen had also organized their relative positions and drawn them out on the page.
No wonder he could achieve results in the research of spirit power circulation pathways.
This skill alone was unparalleled on the continent.
After the dense meridians appeared, Su Wen's spirit power manifested as a set of blue threads on the page. Starting from the dantian, they flowed along the meridians to various parts of the body, undergoing complex circulations at each part before entering the next section.
Su Wen deliberately slowed down, taking three minutes to fully demonstrate the entire spirit power circulation pathway once.
Three minutes, one hundred and eighty seconds.
Even so, every second, Su Wen's spirit power would switch and flow between five or six meridians, even splitting and then merging at a certain node.
In just three short minutes, Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' were completely stunned.
They could naturally capture such spirit power circulation speed.
One was a level seventy Spirit Saint, an auxiliary type who also mastered the Heart Separation Control technique. The other possessed the head spirit bone of the Angelic Set, and her spiritual power wasn't weak.
However, it was precisely because of this that they knew very well how complex the spirit power circulation pathway Su Wen had just demonstrated was.
Now, asking them to recall the entire pathway, they couldn't even completely reconstruct one-third of it.
And that was just reconstructing the general direction.
If they were to circulate spirit power within their bodies, they would also have to distinguish the meridians used in the Spirit Ascension Method from other meridians, and locate the meridians...
Instantly, their scalps went numb.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' felt they had drawn conclusions too early just now.
This... even if this damn thing were published, there probably wouldn't be many who could successfully cultivate it, right?
And even if they succeeded, it would probably delay their normal cultivation.
At this moment, they actually wanted to ask Su Wen even more: how on earth did he develop this Spirit Ascension Method!
Of course, looking at that densely packed meridian distribution map, a task that seemed impossible for a human to complete, they felt it became reasonable that Su Wen could assemble a Spirit Ascension Method.
"The research of this Spirit Ascension Method probably has a lot to do with Dugu Bo as well," Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' guessed in their hearts.
"Little Wen, how do you plan to handle this Spirit Ascension Method?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Su Wen's gaze shifted between Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe', and he said, "I plan to establish a faction and need the help of Uncle Ning and Big Brother Xue. The Spirit Ascension Method will also be announced to the whole continent at the same time the faction emerges."
"Hm?"
Ning Fengzhi and 'Xue Qinghe' expressed doubt and confusion about Su Wen's idea of establishing a faction.
They couldn't think of why Su Wen would want to do this.
"What kind of faction do you plan to establish? What is its purpose?" 'Xue Qinghe' asked with a frown.
She knew Su Wen was a member of Spirit Hall. Was he trying to become independent or what?
