In the blink of an eye.
Qian Renxue had already been wandering in the Sunset Forest for seven days.
Yet, she still had not waited for Li Yu, nor had she found the secluded place of Dugu Bo.
This made her not only frustrated but also quite worried.
She feared that something indescribable might have happened between Li Yu and Dugu Bo.
But with no way of knowing, she could only leave the Sunset Forest reluctantly.
Meanwhile.
The miscellaneous toxins in Dugu Bo's "body" had finally been mostly resolved by Li Yu.
After seven days.
Even a being at the level of a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo was feeling incredibly exhausted.
After all, this was related to his own life, as well as Li Yu's.
If, at any point, the soul power that Li Yu had infiltrated into Dugu Bo's body showed any abnormal fluctuations, and he failed to suppress the "rebellion" of the soul power in his body in time,
Then, with the difference in their cultivation levels,
Li Yu would likely be instantly backfired and perish.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter to him.
But Li Yu was the one who could help him resolve his long-standing illness. If Li Yu died, then the possibility of him being cured would become even more distant.
Therefore, Dugu Bo's spirit had remained highly tense throughout this process.
On the other hand, Li Yu's situation was quite the opposite.
He relied on the Tooth of Absorption to continuously absorb the toxins from Dugu Bo's body and convert them into his own soul power.
Though this process also consumed some of his soul power, the soul power would then return to him through the Tooth of Absorption after being absorbed by it.
During this process, the soul power generated from the toxin conversion was already enough to make the operation of the Tooth of Absorption self-sustaining.
There was no need for Li Yu to exert any extra effort to maintain it.
This led to Li Yu, aside from the initial moments, spending most of the time simply feeling his soul power gradually increase.
This was far more rewarding than any meditation during a retreat!
By the time this healing ended, the "patient" was utterly exhausted,
But the "surgeon" was energetic, as if he had just taken a nice nap.
At that moment,
Level: 37Reward Settlement: 1500 years of free distribution time gained!Free Distribution Time: 12,000 yearsCrossdressing Schedule: 9/10
Looking at the flashing prompt, Li Yu felt a bit dazed.
In the blink of an eye, it had been 9 days since he came to this world!
In these short 9 days, his soul power had grown by 17 levels!
This was an unimaginable rate of improvement.
Over the past few days, as he had been immersed in absorbing toxins to increase his soul power, the daily reward of free distribution time had reached a full 12,000 years.
This included the reward from the day he arrived at Sunset Forest and the seven days of detoxification for Dugu Bo.
This meant that,
If Li Yu wished, he could directly raise one of his soul rings to the level of ten thousand years now.
But he clearly wouldn't do something so ostentatious.
Before having the ability to protect himself, he preferred to keep a low profile.
After some consideration, he decided to directly elevate the Tooth of Absorption to the level of ten thousand years, and then distribute the remaining 3000 years equally among three of his soul rings.
Distribution in progress...Distribution complete!External Spirit Bone:Tooth of Absorption: Ten Thousand YearsNew: The number of Teeth of Absorption increased to five, efficiency increased by 20%.
Soul Ring Year Limit Has Changed:First Soul Ring: Purple (2000 years)Second Soul Ring: Purple (2000 years)Third Soul Ring: Purple (3600 years)
Looking at the flashing prompt, Li Yu showed a surprised expression.
The number of Teeth of Absorption could increase, which was much beyond his expectations.
He had chosen to elevate it to the ten thousand-year level mainly to improve the efficiency of "toxin absorption."
Additionally, he had hoped that after reaching the ten thousand-year level, the conversion of toxins into soul power would incur less of a loss.
And now, the result showed that,
The efficiency had indeed improved, but the conversion rate was clearly something he had overestimated.
However, the increase in number was entirely unexpected.
"Does it really want to evolve into a 'hidden weapon'?" Li Yu looked at the slowly fading mark on the nails of his right hand, his face showing a strange expression.
The development of the soul bone into a "hidden weapon" was indeed not a route he had anticipated.
If Xiao Sanzi found out, he wondered how he would react.
Meanwhile, while Li Yu was focused on himself,
Dugu Bo was looking at him with a surprised expression, his eyes filled with shock.
"This demon, why does it feel like it has gotten a bit stronger again?"
Dugu Bo muttered to himself in his heart.
He, of course, knew and was shocked that Li Yu's soul power had reached level 37 during the detoxification process.
Just by helping him detox, Li Yu's soul power had increased by a full 6 levels.
If this matter were spread, it would undoubtedly cause a huge stir.
However, thinking of the consumption of the toxins he had "tested" on himself in the past, Dugu Bo gradually accepted Li Yu's improvement.
Compared to the consumption of the toxins he had planted, Li Yu's improvement now seemed a bit insufficient.
But this wasn't quite the same concept, and he didn't dwell on it any longer.
Everyone had their own secrets, and he chose to respect Li Yu's secrets, who could help him solve the toxins in his body.
However.
He knew that the sudden feeling of "Li Yu has become stronger" wasn't because of his soul power improvement.
It seemed to be due to something else.
But after a quick scan, he couldn't find anything unusual.
Finally, he could only shake his head and give up on further investigation, muttering to himself, "Phew, maybe I'm too tired, I'm having illusions!"
After stretching his muscles and bones,
Dugu Bo looked at Li Yu and said, "Little demon, you rest here, and tomorrow I will come find you."
After a pause, he added, "This place has abundant spiritual energy, which is very beneficial for a low-level soul master like you!"
"Also, outside this cave, there is a strange valley where I usually cultivate and retreat, and it is also where I raise poisonous creatures. If you are interested, you can go take a look."
"But.
There are dangers inside, so be careful yourself. If anything happens, don't blame me!"
After finishing, Dugu Bo left on his own.
Li Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.
This old guy, he really doesn't know how to take care of others!
He just left him here without any manners.
But Li Yu wasn't angry.
Mainly because the gains he had gotten from Dugu Bo were indeed quite substantial.
He had obtained both soul power and spirit bones, and only the hospitality was lacking, so there was nothing to complain about.
Thinking of this, Li Yu didn't mind too much and didn't even intend to explore the Eye of Ice and Fire.
He knew well the experiences Xiao Sanzi had gone through.
The passage to the Eye of Ice and Fire had Dugu Bo's own methods left behind, and there was a natural barrier.
If he wanted to explore, he might have to shed two layers of skin.
Dugu Bo probably said this to test his abilities.
But Li Yu had thought it through. As long as he helped Dugu Bo resolve his physical issues, according to their previous agreement, Dugu Bo would naturally take him there.
Of course, more importantly,
Once tomorrow arrived, the crossdressing schedule task would be completed!
He was even more eager for the reward from this task!
