Everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard Liu Erlong's words.
This little girl.
"Sister Erlong, once I reach level 30, I'll be able to get my third mask."
"I'll give it to you then."
"That won't work right now."
Xu Xin still explained it to her.
There are a total of 9 such masks, and two have already appeared, both of which are quite good.
The thought of having nine more masks like this, both powerful and simple, filled Xu Xin with excitement.
His own shadow empire, hehehe...
"Alright, it's settled then. I'm the Third Elder of the Shadow Palace, so don't just drag someone in and take my place."
Liu Erlong waved his fist, making a feigned threat.
This is the real Liu Erlong! What lady? She can never be a Noble and Gentle lady.
Not everyone is like Ah Yin, such a gentle and beautiful older sister!
The group quickly finished the roasted chicken and fruit prepared by the ninja soldiers.
Following the instructions in the original story, Xu Xin had the ninja soldiers dig up the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
"Uncle Xin, this is a magical herb that can help your martial soul evolve. Just swallow it."
"It's best to take the medicine first before trying to conceive with your aunt, so that your child won't be affected by the poison."
Xu Xin handed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Dugu Xin.
Dugu Xin accepted the magical herb with trembling hands.
Having witnessed Xu Xin's methods, he now has unwavering faith in him: "Thank you, Palace Master!"
"From now on, I, Dugu Xin, belong to the Shadow Palace!"
Xu Xin smiled and said, "Uncle Xin, you don't need to be so polite. Now that you've joined the Shadow Palace, you're one of us."
Even Dugu Bo's usually stern face showed a rare smile; the Dugu family had an heir.
"Xin'er, hurry up and refine it. I really want to hold my grandson." Dugu Bo smiled and looked at Dugu Xin with satisfaction.
Without further hesitation, Dugu Xin swallowed it and began to refine it.
Dugu Xin's wife, Lu Xing'er, also had a big smile on her face. Ah Xin was alright now, and she was going to have a child.
Xu Xin smiled, replaced the Claw Shadow Soldiers with guards, and then ordered the ninja soldiers to build houses.
With so many people, there aren't enough rooms.
Xu Xin glanced at Liu Erlong, whose eyes were burning with fervor, and walked up to a crimson immortal herb, which was full of fiery energy.
After having the ninja soldier remove it again, Xu Xin handed it to Liu Erlong: "As the third elder of my Shadow Palace, you can't be too weak."
"Sister Erlong, this is suitable for you, just swallow it."
Liu Erlong hesitated for a moment. Although she was usually carefree, she still felt guilty about taking the money without having done anything.
"I..."
She, who was usually carefree, was stunned.
Ah Yin slowly walked over and gently teased, "Erlong, don't worry, you said you're the Third Elder now, do you want to step down from the hall?"
No, no.
Liu Erlong accepted the herb without hesitation: "Thank you, Sister Yin, thank you, Xiao Xu Xin."
"From now on, this will be my home, Liu Erlong's home!"
She never liked that place, but now she has a new home and the people there are so nice, she's bound to like it.
Just like Dugu Xin, Liu Erlong sat down cross-legged and swallowed the Phoenix Sunflower.
A surge of intense, violent energy swept over Liu Erlong's entire body. A crimson phoenix cried out and spewed a burst of flames at Liu Erlong.
The flames rapidly purified the flames within Liu Erlong's body...
Both sides are constantly refining.
"Sister Ah Yin, there are two more immortal herbs here that are suitable for me. Don't be surprised no matter what you see later."
Xu Xin instructed two ninja soldiers to quickly pluck the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
After swallowing the two immortal herbs, Xu Xin jumped directly into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Instantly, violent energy of extreme cold and heat raged within Xu Xin's body.
Xu Xin's body flickered between cold and hot, the interplay of ice and fire causing him unbearable pain, and his screams immediately echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Ah Yin was heartbroken, but she knew Xu Xin wouldn't do something so reckless, so she could only wait.
Dugu Bo also frowned, wondering if they were going to disband again so soon after he joined them.
The surrounding energy continuously converged towards Xu Xin.
The Tara Mask appeared unconsciously, and a black aura began to suppress the violent energy.
Suppressed, refined.
The red and blue energies continuously impacted Xu Xin's limbs and bones.
Drawn by the black aura, these two energies rapidly condensed around Xu Xin's body.
In an instant, Xu Xin felt incredibly smooth and everything went extremely well.
Time passed little by little.
Of the three, Xu Xin was the first to regain consciousness.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xin leaped in front of everyone. Dugu Bo immediately took out a set of clothes and threw them to Xu Xin: "Palace Master, put them on quickly."
Xu Xin gave an awkward smile, while Ah Yin had already turned her head away.
Seeing that Xu Xin had finished dressing, Dugu Bo asked curiously, "Palace Master, what are the effects of the two immortal herbs you just consumed?"
"I haven't sensed any increase in your soul power either?"
Xu Xin explained, "These two immortal herbs are poisonous if taken alone, but if taken together with this spring water, they can help cultivate the body. I am now immune to water and fire, and immune to all poisons."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo felt a little envious.
If only I had been immune to all poisons back then, I could have properly cultivated my poison skills.
What a pity.
Two days later, Dugu Xin and Liu Erlong also woke up.
As for their strength, Dugu Xin has been promoted to Soul Emperor, and Liu Erlong has been promoted to Soul King.
Rapid progress.
Inside the cabin, Ah Yin's soul power had unknowingly reached level 70.
It has to be said that with the help of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Ah Yin's cultivation speed was dozens of times faster, and she also consumed immortal herbs.
Is this the innate advantage of plants in the Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire?
Xu Xin only advanced one level.
"Palace Master, I want to go hunting for spirit rings with Erlong." Dugu Xin said excitedly to Xu Xin, his martial spirit having already evolved.
But he didn't say it out loud; he wanted to give them a surprise after he had obtained the spirit ring.
Liu Erlong and Dugu Xin exchanged a knowing glance.
Judging from their expressions, they've clearly had a very fruitful experience.
"Go ahead, ask your father for a few Claw Shadow Soldiers to go with you, so you don't encounter any danger."
Xu Xin smiled and said, not at all curious about what the two of them had gained, since they were all on his side anyway.
Soon, Dugu Bo put on a mask and sent several Claw Shadow Soldiers to follow the three of them to hunt for Soul Rings.
"Xu Xin, I'm level 70."
Ah Yin whispered something in Xu Xin's ear.
They deliberately avoided mentioning Dugu Bo.
Xu Xin was taken aback, and immediately understood what Ah Yin was thinking.
She is a soul beast in human form. Before level 70, she can condense soul rings on her own, but after level 70, she can no longer do so and has to hunt for soul rings.
She herself was also worried about what would happen if she was exposed while absorbing the spirit ring.
Therefore, it wasn't mentioned when Liu Erlong and the other person suggested going to hunt for spirit rings.
Xu Xin nodded slightly; he knew what to do.
Soon, Xu Xin gave some instructions to Dugu Bo and then went out with Ah Yin.
Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was empty, leaving him all alone.
Dugu Bo, on the contrary, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Ah Yin said she'd teach me how to recognize these plants when she gets back."
"This is truly a wonderful place to retire!"
Dugu Bo, wearing a mask, lay on the chair, admiring the beautiful scenery.
Meanwhile, Ah Yin and Xu Xin left Sunset Forest and headed to Star Dou Great Forest.
"Sister Ah Yin, have you decided what kind of spirit ring you want?"
