Chapter 102 The Earth Dragon and Golden Melon Deliver a Golden Crocodile, Gaining Another Powerful Backer

"Two ten-thousand-year spirit rings? The first ring has also become ten-thousand-year?"

The lion couldn't help but stand up, come to Han Li, and examine the drastically changed martial soul and the soul ring on his head.

"Hmm, there's also a very strong dragon-like aura. Good lad, your martial soul is much stronger than Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing."

He reached out and felt it, and also glanced at Qianjun and Jiangmo, the two brothers who were already getting restless.

"Xiao Li, you sealed a dragon inside too?"

Jiangmo also got up and went over, his face full of envy. This aura was obviously stronger than his and his brother's. The key was that this kid hadn't leaked any aura when he released it just now, which showed that he also had strong control over his martial soul.

"No, it's just that when my martial soul evolved, it unconsciously absorbed some of the aura of dragons, giving it a similar pressure. There is no dragon soul in it; it's mainly the enhancement of ice and fire elements."

Han Li glanced at his master and recited the lines the two had rehearsed long ago.

"That's a bit of a pity. If there were a dragon soul inside, Xiao Li, your martial soul might be even stronger." Jiang Mo clicked his tongue, and he really thought so.

"It's good enough if we can gain anything at all; there's no such thing as a free lunch. To be honest, the progress Xiao Li and I made is like enduring the hardships of eating two 100,000-year-old ice dragons and fire dragons—we didn't even get a soul bone in the end. Otherwise, why do you think I was able to break through so quickly?"

Guangling chimed in, filling in the last gap and telling the others to stop thinking about it, as the master and apprentice had already booked the entire place.

"Hmm, what you said makes sense."

The elders nodded in agreement. If that was the case, they could understand why the two had changed so much. Their other thoughts also dissipated. How easy was it to encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast, let alone two at once?

"Look at you two, so lacking in the manners of elders. Don't say that Xiao Li and I didn't think of you; we still brought you some good things back. Xiao Li, go and take the gifts you left for them, let them see what a magical herb is."

Guangling gave Han Li a wink, signaling that it was his turn to win Han Li's favor.

Han Li nodded, took out seven golden gourds from his wristband, held them in both hands, and presented one to each person.

"Immortal Herb, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Earth Attribute, can greatly enhance martial spirit and physical defense capabilities after consumption."

"I've given you the item. Whether you eat it yourself or leave it for the younger generation is your choice. But don't blame me for not warning you, its effect on granting titles is extremely limited. The best course of action is to find a young person with a suitable martial soul attribute to consume it. This will allow their martial soul to evolve and their talent to reach genius level. With a little effort, achieving a title is not a problem."

Seeing that they all accepted the items with great joy, Guangling gave a brief introduction and then solemnly reminded them.

"Fifth Brother, and Little Li, thank you. If you ever need anything, just let me know." Golden Crocodile looked at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon in his hand and nodded gratefully to the two of them.

To be honest, he's the one who needs the Earth Dragon Golden Melon the most here. The others either have good descendants or they're not married at all and don't even have any offspring.

Only he, whose descendants have suffered from extremely severe degeneration of their martial spirit, to the point that it is almost extinct, can be said to have found a life-saving herb.

Han Li and Guang Ling exchanged a glance and winked at each other, understanding each other's meaning.

With a pout, Han Li walked up to the Golden Crocodile, took out the last two Earth Dragon Golden Melons, and reluctantly handed them over.

"Senior Uncle, these are the only two I have. Since you need them, I'll give them to you as well. They're not of much use to me anyway. With your resources, you might keep one for your family, and the remaining two could help you advance even further."

"this"

Jin E was genuinely surprised this time; he hadn't expected Han Li to pull out two more for him.

He has his own family. Although his relationship with Guangling is not bad, it is not as close as that between Qingluan and Guangling, who are like brothers.

The seven elders were only united because of Qian Daoliu. At most, he regarded Han Li as a promising junior, and their relationship was not that close. So he really did not expect Han Li to do this.

Holding the golden melon in his hand, and looking at the two more that Han Li handed him, he was unsure whether he should accept them.

"Alright, second brother, accept it. Xiao Li is right. I'll give you this one too. One for the family is enough. You can keep the remaining three for yourself. With your accumulation, reaching level 99 is not an unrealistic goal."

"It's a good thing that you were able to break through. We can just take better care of him in the future."

Qian Daoliu gave Han Li a deep look, then presented the one in his hand to Jin E as well, thus helping him make the decision.

"Brother, this..."

The golden crocodile was momentarily stunned by the surprise, and looking at the four golden dragon gourds in front of him, he didn't know how to speak.

After a while, his emotions calmed down. He stood up solemnly and took the golden melon from Han Li's hands.

"I won't say much in thanks. Regardless of whether I can break through, I will accept your favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. As long as you're not attacking the Spirit Hall, I'll be there whenever you call."

"Uncle-Master, you're joking. The Spirit Hall is my home. I have no interest in tearing down my own home. If I really dared to make a move, Master would probably shoot me with an arrow first," Han Li said with a smile.

Seeing that what he said was funny, the other worshippers couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere immediately eased.

"Okay, just remember to let me know if anything happens in the future."

Jin E was a stubborn man; he said one more thing before sitting down again.

"No problem, Senior Uncle. Do I look like a polite person? I'll be visiting you quite often in the future."

Han Li blinked, which amused the worshippers again, and a slight smile appeared on Jin E's face.

After further questioning, they learned that Han Li's first spirit ring had become the so-called natal spirit ring, which could continuously increase its age as he grew stronger. The elders were once again amazed, but their other emotions disappeared.

Having received favors from others, and with the disciple being their own junior, they could only marvel at Guangling's incredible luck in acquiring such a talented apprentice. This left Guangling both angry and proud.

As for Qingling, he didn't deliberately reveal it. He just briefly mentioned that the source of his third soul skill was also an eagle-type soul beast, which increased his speed, and then he didn't say anything more.

After chatting with the group for a while, at Guang Ling's signal, Han Li decisively took his leave. However, he did not expect to receive a telepathic message from Qian Daoliu as he walked out of the palace.

He paused for a moment, then pretended nothing had happened, left the offering hall, and headed towards the mansion.
