Chapter 65: Life Return Pill, The Strange Egg
The pill lightning from the seventh-grade pill did not cause much of a stir. Neither the Silver Dragon King nor Di Tian seemed overly concerned. Di Tian, in particular, had endured tribulations far more terrifying than this.
The Silver Dragon King no longer hesitated, opening his massive mouth and inhaling deeply. The Life Return Pill disappeared from his hands, and then he closed his eyes to begin feeling the changes in his body.
This time, the Silver Dragon King's physical condition visibly improved compared to before. The dragon's might around him was so overwhelming that it could no longer be suppressed, leaking out uncontrollably.
After a while, the Silver Dragon King opened his majestic eyes, filled with joy.
"Indeed, it's effective. At this rate, I will recover to my peak state in just a few thousand years."
"My lord, really?"
Di Tian looked at the Silver Dragon King with excitement in his eyes. He had finally seen the hope for the soul beast clan's resurgence within his lifetime.
"Naturally, it's true," replied the Silver Dragon King confidently, before turning his gaze towards Ning Bei.
"Child, tell me, what is it that you want? As long as I can manage it, you can ask for anything."
Ning Bei thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"For now, I don't need anything. But I believe that if I ever need something, Senior Silver Dragon King will not refuse me."
The Silver Dragon King smiled, finding Ning Bei quite clever.
"Then, whenever you figure out what you need, just let Di Tian bring you to me."
"Yes, my lord."
"Mm, you can go now."
With that, the Silver Dragon King closed his eyes again. Di Tian respectfully bowed before picking up Ning Bei and returning to the surface of the lake.
As soon as the two appeared, the surrounding fierce beasts immediately swarmed around them.
"How was it? Did it work?"
"Is it effective?"
"..."
The fierce beasts spoke over each other, and Ning Bei didn't even know how to answer.
Seeing this, Di Tian stepped forward to help resolve the situation.
"His Majesty said that in the worst case, in ten thousand years, with Ning Bei's pill, she will recover to her peak state."
"Really?"
"Really? That's amazing!"
"We, the soul beast clan, are going to rise to the pinnacle of the divine realm again."
Hearing the beasts' comments, Ning Bei couldn't help but sneer internally. "You guys are daydreaming. Even after the Silver Dragon King recovers, he will only have the power of a first-level god. Are you really thinking of challenging the Asura God with your lives? If you want to flex, go challenge the Golden Dragon King first."
But seeing the beasts so excited, Ning Bei didn't want to spoil the mood. After all, this was a matter for the future.
At this point, Bi Ji, with her beautiful eyes, turned towards Ning Bei.
"Child, how has my little princess been lately?"
Ning Bei didn't answer right away but summoned the Dan Tower and released the Emerald Swan.
The fierce beasts sensed the swan's state and nodded in satisfaction. The swan had a cultivation nearing 20,000 years, which was quite impressive.
On the other side, Zi Ji's eyes were nearly filled with tears. Unfortunately, there were no suitable successors in her clan, as the dragon species was difficult to reproduce.
"Di Tian, let's go home and make little dragons, and then have Ning Bei take them."
Di Tian, looking at the purple-haired woman, gave her a dark look.
"Are you kidding me? Our dragons take thousands of years to hatch from eggs. By that time, the little dragon will be long gone."
Zi Ji, after thinking about it, reluctantly abandoned the idea of creating little dragons on the spot.
Having completed their mission, Di Tian took Ning Bei back to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
"Ning Bei, if there's any danger, call me directly. Don't try to be a hero, understood?"
Ning Bei laughed quietly, finding Di Tian's attitude amusing. "I understand. Thanks for your concern, Senior."
With a nod, Di Tian ripped through the space beside him and vanished.
Ning Bei looked around, confirmed the direction, and was ready to head back.
But before he could walk too far, a sudden commotion echoed from the distance.
Curious, Ning Bei thought maybe someone was hunting soul beasts, so he walked toward the noise.
After a while, Ning Bei discovered that thousands of various hundred-year soul beasts were gathering in a group.
The scene resembled when Ning Bei had absorbed his first soul ring years ago.
"????"
"Is there something else besides my Dan Tower that can cause a beast tide?"
Ning Bei summoned Ah Bao, Ah Zhu , and Wang Wang to drive away the thousands of hundred-year soul beasts. It was like tossing three hungry wolves into a flock of chickens. The soul beasts scattered immediately.
Once the beasts had scattered, Ning Bei noticed that in the center of the area, there was a soul beast egg lying on the ground.
The egg was nearly half a meter tall, indicating the little beast inside would be quite large.
Approaching the egg, Ning Bei poked it with his hand, but there was no reaction.
After asking the three beasts nearby, they hadn't noticed anything unusual either.
Driven by curiosity, Ning Bei decided to take the egg back to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He had never seen a soul beast when it was born! Even if the beast turned out to be useless, it would make a good companion for Ning Rongrong.
He placed the huge egg and the three beasts into the Dan Tower and walked toward the edge of the forest.
There were no issues, and after two days of travel, Ning Bei successfully returned to Seven Treasure City.
Once back at the sect, he went straight to the conference hall.
Ning Fengzhi and the others were already waiting inside.
"Bei'er, how did it go? Was it successful?"
Ning Bei smiled and thought, "Time to show off." He flicked his hand, and the Dan Tower appeared.
Two yellow, one purple, three black, and one red — seven soul rings appeared before the three men.
"100,000-year soul rings?"
"My heavens."
"Bei'er, this... this..."
The reactions of the three made Ning Bei quite satisfied. It was like returning home in glory after an adventure.
"Father, Grandfather, these soul rings were given to me by a 100,000-year Pure Heart White Deer. After failing to survive her tribulation, she managed to preserve her life but will never improve. She can only await death. Lord Di Tian had her sacrifice herself to me. I got lucky."
"Good, good! Finally, someone from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possesses a 100,000-year soul ring."
Ning Fengzhi grinned widely. The seventh soul ring was a 100,000-year soul ring. With a bit of effort from the three of them, Ning Bei's next two soul rings would also be 100,000 years. By then, my son Ning Bei will have the potential to become a god!
After a moment of celebration, Di Tian spoke first.
"Bei'er, how are the pills? Do you have anything that could surprise us again?"
Ning Bei smiled proudly. "You might not just be shocked! You may even need a heart with an attached soul bone."
Just the Shape-shifting Pill alone would be enough to blow you away.
Thinking of Xiao Wu's two younger brothers, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, Ning Bei's heart heated up. He would try out the pills' effects with Xiao Wu later.
If they were effective, he could go to the Star Dou Forest to find the other two beasts.
That way, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would gain two more Super Douluo-level warriors out of nowhere.
