Fusing spirit rings from different spirit beasts into a completely new spirit ring is something not every spirit master can do.
As far as Xu Zihuang knew, even Limit Douluo powerhouses like Elder Mu and Long Xiaoyao didn't possess such ability. This was something Elder Mu had personally told Xu Zihuang when he was instructing him.
At that time, Elder Mu specifically mentioned Xu Sanshi. In the state of Xuanwu bloodline awakening, Xu Sanshi possessed a powerful divine beast bloodline talent, namely, soul ring fusion.
Xu Sanshi's first three soul skills are Xuanming Zhen, Xuanming Shield Formation, and Xuanming Power.
The three combined to form a black, ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring, whose spirit skill became the area-of-effect control spirit skill, Xuanwu Roar. Furthermore, Xu Sanshi could attempt to fuse the remaining three spirit rings. However, with his current cultivation level, he seemed unable to fully control that power. So far, he could only fuse the first four spirit rings at most. This was also his greatest trump card.
That was an innate talent. It could be said that in terms of natural talent, Xu Sanshi even surpassed Bei Bei.
Xu Zihuang's situation was different from Xu Sanshi's. He relied on the astonishing control granted by his demigod-level spiritual power to forcibly fuse his six spirit rings and activate the spirit origin of his Golden Eye spirit, thus unleashing his spirit true form ahead of schedule.
In other words, the Golden Eye Martial Soul with its spiritual attribute is special; if it were the Purple Thunder Dragon, he might not be able to do these things.
The purplish-gold spiritual energy, almost tangible, extended unimpeded towards the bottom of the cold spring. In just a few breaths, Xu Zihuang sensed a very small cave at the bottom of the spring. The cave was only ten square meters in size and about one and a half meters high.
Inside the cave stood rows of strange icicles. There were forty-five in total, crisscrossing and varying in size. Each icicle was pure white, as white as jade.
It is the Mysterious Ice Marrow of Ten Thousand Years.
Unlike the restrained extreme cold of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the chill of this Myriad Years of Profound Ice Marrow was impossible to conceal. The temperature here was infinitely close to absolute zero. Xu Zihuang's spiritual power, and even his soul, felt as if they were frozen.
At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's gaze was completely vacant.
"There's so much Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow here?! This is a huge windfall!"
"Sister Lingyi."
Xu Zihuang gave Ye Guyi a reminder.
Ye Guyi's eyes flickered, and her golden pupils suddenly turned a pale gray. She extended her right index finger and swiftly traced a strange gray six-pointed star in the air. The six-pointed star shone brightly and floated on the ground, seemingly a peculiar magic circle.
Space distorted, and one after another, pure white, millennia-old mysterious ice marrow fell onto the magic array. Then, gray light rose from the magic array, engulfing the millennia-old mysterious ice marrow.
In this way, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi used this method to send all the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow into the Undead Demiplane.
Xu Zihuang breathed a sigh of relief. Although the life force of the Gold Spirit was replenishing him, using the second awakening of his Gold-level Martial Soul would also bring other negative effects, and his body would inevitably be weak for a few days.
Ye Guyi glared at Xu Zihuang angrily, but felt more heartache than anything else.
"Let you show off."
Ye Guyi let Xu Zihuang put his arm around her shoulder, and Xu Zihuang gently stroked Ye Guyi's cheek, saying helplessly.
“Sister Lingyi, if you want to gain something, you have to make sacrifices. Besides, my health is actually not a big problem.”
As he spoke, five balls of deep purple flames emanated from the tip of Xu Zihuang's left finger. With a gentle wave, he removed a piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal from the cave wall that had not yet nurtured an Ice Spirit.
Soul tools made from this type of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal can be used by ordinary soul masters who are not of the extreme ice attribute, even with the help of the core magic array.
Xu Zihuang planned to use the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal to practice making a soul tool. He didn't intend to take the rest of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal with him. Using it was too demanding; ordinary rare metals were far more useful.
He didn't care about the small amount of money he'd make from selling these rare metals. There was no need to make such a blatant attempt to profit.
After all, there's Ning Tian, that little rich girl, around.
After doing all this, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi disappeared from their original spot, and then reappeared outside the well in the next instant.
Ye Guyi helped Xu Zihuang, whose face was pale.
"A spatial attribute soul skill? Instant teleportation?"
Nan Shuishui was taken aback at first, but quickly noticed Xu Zihuang's condition and asked with concern, "Tianhuang, are you alright? What happened to you?"
"It's just that it consumes a lot of energy," Xu Zihuang said with a wry smile. As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that had not nurtured an Ice Spirit appeared in his hand.
Outside, under ample light, the true color of the Ice Crystal was revealed. It was originally ice-blue, slightly shifting towards sky blue, and emitted a deep blue glow. Illuminated by the light, it possessed a crystal-clear quality. This was even better than the highest-grade gemstones.
"Senior Nan, there is indeed a special rare metal with ice attributes in the Cold Spring, the one I have here, called the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. Sister Gu Yi and I went through a lot of trouble to get this piece. However, the environment inside the Cold Spring has already been destroyed by us. Before long, with your cultivation level, you should be able to enter freely. Moreover, the Annihilation attribute of your Crimson Dragon Martial Soul can also mine those Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, but only the kind that has not produced ice spirits. You will know the specifics once you try it yourself. This Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is enough for me; the rest should rightfully belong to the Earth Dragon Gate."
"This—" Nan Shuishui was somewhat taken aback by how things had turned out. She had been thinking of doing Yu Tianhuang a favor and deepening her connection with this prodigy. Unexpectedly, Yu Tianhuang had instead done a favor for their Earth Dragon Gate.
She had entered the ice cave before and knew the extraordinary nature of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. However, with her cultivation level, she couldn't stay in the ice cave for too long, so she had no way of knowing that the annihilation attribute of her family's inherited Crimson Dragon Martial Soul could still mine this Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.
Now that Yu Tianhuang has perfectly solved these problems, it means they can make use of those Ice Extreme Divine Crystals. This level of rare metal, just by selling it, could bring in at least tens of millions of gold soul coins.
“Since that’s the case, Tianhuang, then I won’t refuse. It’s our Earth Dragon Gate that owes you a favor. You don’t need to call me senior anymore. If you don’t mind, just call me auntie.” Nan Shuishui sighed wistfully, then changed the subject.
"And once those Ice Extreme Crystals are mined, you will definitely get a share. I promised before, and I won't go back on my word."
"Then thank you very much, Aunt Nan." Xu Zihuang smiled and put the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal into his storage soul tool.
"You can see my situation now. Once this matter is settled, Sister Gu Yi and I will not bother you any further."
"Why don't you stay and rest at our Dilongmen?" Nan Shuishui quickly suggested, her concern genuine.
Ye Guyi then spoke up, her expression somewhat unnatural.
"Aunt Nan, this is too much of a bother. Besides, Tianhuang and I are staying at a hotel in the city center, so we can visit you when we have time."
Nan Qiuqiu, who had been behaving like a good girl the whole time, had a subtle look in her eyes when she heard Ye Guyi's words. She furtively looked Ye Guyi and Xu Zihuang up and down.
"Alright then." Nan Shuishui seemed to understand something.
"Qiuqiu, go see Tianhuang and Guyi off."
"Huh?" Nan Qiuqiu subconsciously raised her head, and seeing Nan Shuishui's stern gaze, she dared not cause any more trouble. She led Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi towards the outside of the Earth Dragon Gate.
However, she cautiously distanced herself from Xu Zihuang and moved closer to Ye Guyi.
Chapter 334 Nan Qiuqiu and the Ice God Armor, startled
Nan Qiuqiu led Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi to the outside of the Earth Dragon Gate.
Ye Guyi looked at Nan Qiuqiu with a friendly smile and said, "Qiuqiu, let's leave you here. Tianhuang and I are staying at the Luoxue Hotel in the center of Longcheng. If you have time, you can come and visit me."
Ye Guyi's unusual upbringing meant she had almost no female friends her own age. Although Nana was about the same age as her, she always treated her like a mistress, and her attitude was always extremely respectful.
Through their brief time together, she had developed a fondness for Nan Qiuqiu, a girl who was usually spoiled but also innocent and kind.
Many things in this world are about fate. Take Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu, for example. They were meeting for the first time, yet there was no awkwardness between them. It was as if they were destined to become friends.
"No, no."
Upon hearing Ye Guyi's words, Nan Qiuqiu stopped and glanced at Xu Zihuang warily, shaking her head repeatedly. Then she looked at Ye Guyi with a sincere expression.
"Sister Ye, why don't you come find me instead?"
“Alright then. Qiuqiu, we’ll be going now.” Ye Guyi nodded with a smile, said goodbye to Nan Qiuqiu, and then helped Xu Zihuang walk towards the city center.
Seeing that Nan Qiuqiu was guarding against him like a thief, Xu Zihuang's lips twitched slightly.
"Sister Lingyi, what exactly did you say to her before?"
Although he didn't care much about Nan Qiuqiu's opinion of him, and wasn't particularly interested in her, he would still feel somewhat repulsed if he were to be unjustly labeled.
“I didn’t say anything, I just said I’m pregnant with your child,” Ye Guyi said with a smile.
Do you think my words might come true and I might actually be pregnant?
Xu Zihuang was speechless for a moment, his gaze shifting downwards to Ye Guyi's flat stomach, devoid of any excess fat. After a brief silence, his expression gradually hardened.
"Then I will make him the most honored person in the world."
Looking into Xu Zihuang's eyes, the teasing in Ye Guyi's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a sweet happiness. She gently leaned close to Xu Zihuang's ear and whispered tenderly.
"Zihuang, shall we try one more time?"
What she said didn't simply mean what it seemed; she meant that Xu Zihuang should try again without using his soul power to eliminate the active substance.
Xu Zihuang hesitated for a moment, and then Ye Guyi's gentle voice rang in his ears once again.
"Just kidding. I know how much pressure we're under right now, this one act of indulgence is enough."
Perhaps influenced by Nan Qiuqiu, Ye Guyi has become much more cheerful than before.
Xu Zihuang was happy to oblige. Over the years, he and Ye Guyi had lived a life of excessive repression. Their ten-day stay at the hotel was not only due to their emotional connection, but also a release of their pent-up emotions.
The two returned to their hotel room and continued their stay in Dragon City.
This time, Xu Zihuang did not suffer as severe negative effects from the second awakening of his Gold-level Martial Soul as he did the first time. Thanks to his strong physique, he fully recovered in just three days.
During this time, Ye Guyi took care of him personally. After that, Xu Zihuang began to try to make a soul tool from the large piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that he had taken off.
Both he and Ye Guyi intended to give the successfully crafted soul tool to Nan Qiuqiu as a way of repaying that favor.
Xu Zihuang was busy making soul tools, so Ye Guyi naturally didn't want to bother him and went to the Earth Dragon Gate to find Nan Qiuqiu. The two girls, who got along very well, quickly became close friends.
Not only does Ye Guyi lack female friends of the same age, but Nan Qiuqiu is in a similar situation.
Yu Tianlong is the number one male Soul Master among the younger generation in Dragon City, and Nan Qiuqiu is also the most outstanding female Soul Master among the younger generation in Dragon City. Don't be fooled by her usual carefree attitude; she always retains the pride of a Soul Master.
This is quite normal among Soul Masters. After all, Soul Masters are the most noble profession on the continent, and they only interact with other Soul Masters. Class determines the difference in their social circles.
Ye Guyi's talent was astonishing, which is why Nan Qiuqiu restrained her arrogance towards her. Naturally, the two women got along well.
During the day, Ye Guyi would wander around Longcheng with Nan Qiuqiu, and at night she would return to the hotel to rest. She would also occasionally pester Xu Zihuang to do her assigned work whenever he had free time.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
A bustling street corner in the heart of Longcheng.
Nan Qiuqiu walked towards the Snowfall Hotel, which was not far away, with a conflicted expression.
If Nan Shuishui hadn't repeatedly and strictly insisted that she personally invite Yu Tianhuang and Ye Guyi to tonight's banquet, she would never have come here.
Ye Guyi's words back then had a huge impact on her. The innocent Nan Qiuqiu was gone forever.
However, thinking about Ye Guyi, whose complexion was getting better and better and who always had a faint smile on her face, she couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity about it.
Doing that kind of thing really...
Pah! Pah! Pah! Nan Qiuqiu, what are you thinking?!
Nan Qiuqiu slapped her cheeks hard. Unbeknownst to her, she had already arrived at the lobby of the Snowfall Hotel.
The hotel receptionists were clearly familiar with Nan Qiuqiu, the young lady from Dilongmen.
Although I don't know what Nan Qiuqiu is planning to do here, I certainly won't be so tactless as to stop her.
Nan Qiuqiu took the soul-guided elevator to the top floor of the hotel. The Snowfall Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Dragon City, and not just anyone could stay in the top-floor rooms.
The magnificent, wide corridor was deserted. After a fierce internal struggle, Nan Qiuqiu gritted her teeth and walked to the door of the room where Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi were staying, gently knocking on the door with her right hand.
However, there was no response for quite some time.
