Chapter 66 The First Soul Ring in Ten Thousand Years
"You've worked hard too, running so fast."
Tang San's heart warmed at the concern in his voice, and he quickly shook his head, "It's no trouble at all, brother, let's go!"
I've been stuck at 29% progress on "Ingredients Guide" for several days now.
Tang Chuan was just thinking of going to the Soul Hunter Forest to find some ingredients in a couple of days when Tang Hao returned from the Star Dou Great Forest with some ingredients, which was a real lifesaver.
A 30,000-year-old dragon-blooded yak can at least upgrade one's first soul ring to over 10,000 years.
The two brothers hurried back to the small house in the west of the city.
The courtyard gate was open, and Tang Hao sat on a stone bench, his wine flask slightly empty.
"Dad!"
"You're back!"
"I thought you wouldn't be back for a while!"
"The Star Dou Great Forest is so far away, you must be tired from the journey. Come in and rest, I'll make you a cup of iced tea."
As soon as Tang Chuan entered the courtyard, he quickly walked to Tang Hao's side and reached out to support his arm.
Tang Hao saw his eldest son's face, which bore a resemblance to Ah Yin's and was filled with affection, and a doting smile appeared on his face: "No need, sit here and it's cool."
"Take a look at these ingredients, are they suitable?"
He put the wine sack aside and pointed to the largest burlap sack: "This contains Dragon Blood Yak, 30,000 years old, with dragon bloodline, strong bones and muscles, and the best for nourishing blood and qi. It should be enough for you to push the age of your first soul ring to over 10,000 years."
"The two sacks next to it contain dried Swiftwind Rabbit meat and Azure Flame Fox legs..."
"And this too."
As he spoke, Tang Hao pulled out a relatively clean sack from behind him, which contained some fruits and vines and leaves of plant-type soul beasts.
"Inside are some rare fruits and mushrooms from the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as branches and leaves from some thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts. See if they're of any use to you."
He didn't glance at Tang San, who was following behind Tang Chuan, even once.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Tang Chuan's face lit up with surprise, his tone full of consideration: "You just had some wine, let me make you a glass of iced tea to try. This is a new way I've developed to use my first soul skill..."
As he spoke, before Tang Hao could refuse, he raised his right hand, a slight surge of soul power emanating from his palm.
A Blue Silver Bind with golden veins appeared in his palm. It was more slender and lustrous than the ordinary Blue Silver Bind. The grass leaves moved without wind, exuding a gentle and vibrant aura.
Tang Hao's gaze fell on his son's martial spirit.
Especially those unique golden patterns brought a touch of nostalgia to the depths of his eyes; Ah Yin's martial soul had once been just as dazzling.
"A thousand threads reappear, a hundred flavors emerge."
Tang Chuan flicked his finger, and a deep purple soul ring lit up. Blue Silver Bind threads intertwined and swirled, emitting a faint blue halo under the infusion of soul power.
Within the halo, ice crystals could be faintly seen condensing.
In the blink of an eye, a glass of clear iced tea appeared in Tang Chuan's hand, with fine water droplets condensing on the glass, carrying a hint of coolness and a faint fragrance.
"Dad, here you go."
Tang Chuan held the iced tea in both hands and handed it to Tang Hao, his face showing an expectant and self-satisfied smile: "I call it the Refreshing Ice Tea."
"It is made primarily with lotus seeds, with the addition of century-old royal jelly to remove the bitterness of the lotus seeds. A juice called 'ice crystal fruit' is also used to enhance the taste and flavor, making it refreshing and calming, perfect for relieving your fatigue."
The tea soup was bluish-green with a few specks of frost floating on the surface.
Tang Hao watched his son use his soul skill, his eyes filled with even more praise.
He took the iced tea; it was icy cold to the touch. He tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
An intensely cool sensation swept through his mouth.
First comes the refreshing bitterness of lotus seeds, followed by the icy coolness of ice crystal fruit, and finally the sweetness of honey. The three flavors melt in his mouth, slide down his throat and into his stomach, bringing a unique sense of comfort.
Even his mind, which had been somewhat clouded by drinking, became a little clearer.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"It tastes ten times better than ale!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Hao's eyes. He put down his cup and patted Tang Chuan's shoulder: "Your martial soul and soul skills are becoming more and more refined."
"No wonder he inherited the title of God of Food!"
Tang Chuan smiled even more sweetly, but still said sensibly, "It's just a little idea, nothing to worry about."
As he spoke, he made several more glasses of iced tea and placed them on the stone table.
"Dad, you drink first. I'll go and sort through the ingredients you brought back, especially this 30,000-year-old dragon blood yak."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Seeing his eldest son so considerate and happy, Tang Hao smiled, picked up a glass of iced tea, and took another sip: "Let's try these and see how they work. If it's not enough, just tell Dad. It's just a matter of Dad going to the Star Dou Great Forest a few more times!"
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Chuan nodded and squatted down beside the sack. A strong smell of blood mixed with a faint dragon's might wafted towards him.
He summoned his martial spirit, Blue Silver Bind, and reached into the sack.
The grass fibers wrapped around the dragon blood yak as it devoured the food, faintly shimmering with a pale golden luster.
The next second, the "Illustrated Guide to Ingredients" shone brightly in his mind, the pages turned, and it stopped on a brand new page:
Dragon Blood Yak
[Origin: Dragon Blood Cliff, Core Area of Star Dou Great Forest]
[Lifespan: 30,000 years]
[Characteristics: Contains diluted dragon blood, possesses abundant vital energy, has dragon energy within its flesh, tough skin and fur, and its bones can be used to extract dragon blood essence]
[Effects: The essence of the heart can temper the body, strengthen qi and blood, and has a very small chance of stimulating the potential of dragon-related martial souls; bone marrow can be used to make medicinal cuisine and is a top-grade tonic for improving physical condition; stewed beef can replenish qi and blood and strengthen muscles and bones; dragon blood combined with astragalus, ginseng, eucommia, lingzhi... can be used to refine Dragon Blood Tempering Pill]
"No wonder it's a 30,000-year-old dragon-blooded yak!"
"The results are truly remarkable!"
Tang Chuan secretly praised it and injected his soul power into the grass threads to increase the absorption power.
A deep purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet, its purple so deep it was almost black, with a black halo around its edges, and its age was over nine thousand one hundred years.
At this moment, as the Blue Silver Bind devoured the Dragon Blood Yak, the black aura began to spread.
The black color, like thick ink dripped into clear water, completely covered the purple on the soul ring within a few breaths.
Tang Chuan could clearly feel that the age of the spirit ring was increasing rapidly.
A thousand years!
11,000 years!
Thirteen thousand years!
The spirit ring will remain in pure black until it reaches its final age limit of 16,000 years.
When the Soul Ring advanced for ten thousand years, a stream of pure energy returned to Tang Chuan's body, flowing along his meridians to his sea of consciousness.
Tang Chuan felt a sudden clarity in his mind.
His spiritual energy grew and condensed at an unprecedented rate, and everything around him became clearer.
Previously, he could only vaguely sense the movements inside the courtyard, but now he could clearly see the pedestrians passing by the alley entrance, and even vaguely sense the dormant Title Douluo soul power within Tang Hao's body, carrying a heart-palpitating pressure.
"This is... feedback from a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring?"
"His mental strength has increased so much!"
Tang Chuan was shocked. He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them before disappearing and returning to his clear gaze.
Feeling the surging soul power within his body and the clarity in his mind, Tang Chuan was overjoyed.
