Dugu Bo felt like Sun Qi had latched onto him.
"You're almost at a breakthrough. Can't you wait until you get a spirit ring before coming to this old man? Coming and going is annoying."
"Senior, isn't this a sign of trust in you?"
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi chuckled.
"Besides, isn't it because the environment here is good that my friend can break through tomorrow? If he wasn't here, who knows how long it would take him to break through, so he still owes you a favor."
Dugu Bo snorted.
He wasn't very concerned about Sun Qi's secrets, but he was very displeased about being treated like a nanny, specifically brought here to hunt Spirits for the other party.
What?
Sun Qi didn't mention it?
Heh heh, you broke through in front of this old man, does that mean you'll leave and find someone else to hunt a Spirit for you?
However, despite Dugu Bo's displeasure, he would still help.
At least Sun Qi hinted very well, attributing Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi's breakthrough to him.
Just consider it an investment.
Dugu Bo thought to himself.
"I'll give you one day. If you don't break through in one day, then get out."
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he returned to the spring, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state, exuding an aura of 'don't bother me'.
"Sister Yan."
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi looked at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan had long been attracted by the commotion here and had heard everything clearly from the side.
"How's your fourth spirit ring coming along?"
"Grandpa personally found me an eight-thousand-year Medusa."
Eight thousand years?
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi showed a surprised expression.
This was almost at the upper limit, wasn't it?
Dugu Yan had consumed a full set of nutritional meals, and with the power of the Immortal Herb, she perfectly digested the nutritional meals, with the Yin and Yang energies promoting her Spirit's mutation.
Coupled with the effect of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, her tolerance limit was probably over eight thousand years.
Even Stone Monkey · Sun Qi had only absorbed an eight-thousand-year Battle Ape.
"What level is Sister Yan now?"
Sun Qi was curious about Dugu Yan's level.
The Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone allowed her to break through, but a large portion of its medicinal power had not yet manifested.
"Level forty-seven."
Dugu Yan's face was full of smiles.
Having just obtained her fourth spirit ring, her spirit power had reached level forty-seven, making her feel that Spirit King was within reach.
The environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was very suitable for her current cultivation. She estimated that even when she reached Spirit Ancestor, she could maintain a speed of one level every three months.
In just half a year, she would be able to break through to level forty-nine, and then prepare to advance to level fifty.
"Too strong." Sun Qi sighed.
Is this Dugu Yan at full power?
After enjoying all the good things she deserved, she could also be called a genius of this era.
"You're even more exaggerated than me." Dugu Yan wasn't complacent.
She looked at Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi and asked, "Are you also called Sun Qi?"
"Yes."
Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi nodded.
"If you're worried about getting us mixed up, you can call me Xiao Jin."
"Xiao Jin, you should focus on cultivating first and grasp the feeling of an impending breakthrough."
Dugu Yan didn't delve into a deep conversation with Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi, not wanting to delay his breakthrough.
"Sun Qi, how's the Academy? How are the other members of the Royal Fight Team?" Dugu Yan inquired about the Royal Fight Team from Stone Monkey · Sun Qi.
"Not good at all. Oslo was complaining earlier, saying that not being able to participate in Spirit fights was boring, and he wanted Sister Yanto come back."
"How can you not participate in Spirit fights? Aren't there seven of you? I remember the Great Spirit Arena allows changes to team member information. A team can have up to ten people, and you can choose members from those ten to participate."
"Yu Tianheng dropped out of school."
"What?"
Dugu Yan had an incredulous expression.
"Why would he drop out?"
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi shrugged.
"He went back to his family's Academy, of course. He's currently studying at Shrek Academy and has joined the Shrek team."
"Shrek?"
"That's the former Blue Tyrant Academy, now renamed Shrek Academy. Xiao Jin was studying there, but Yu Tianheng and Yu Xiaogangrepeatedly spied on his cultivation in secret. He got angry and dropped out."
After hearing Sun Qi's explanation, Dugu Yan didn't know how she felt at that moment.
She gritted her teeth and cursed, "To think he was the captain, yet he's so irresponsible."
"So, Sister Yan, are you coming back to the team? The six of us can't participate in seven-person Spirit fights right now."
"Wait until I break through to level forty-nine."
Dugu Yan felt that cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was faster. Even if she wanted to help out of team camaraderie, it had to be under the premise that her cultivation was not affected.
Once she broke through to level forty-nine, further secluded cultivation wouldn't be as meaningful anywhere. Instead, the breakthrough opportunity was the hardest to find. Participating in Spirit fights with the Royal Fight Team at that time might actually help her find the feeling of a breakthrough.
"Okay, I'll tell them when I go back."
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi looked at the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located, taking a glance. It was clear that many of the medicinal herbs here had been picked.
Some high-grade spiritual herbs had also been collected.
"Grandpa seems to have taken your advice and is already communicating with Spirit Hall. I just don't know how long it will take to develop the nutritional meal primarily made from 10,000-year whale jelly."
Dugu Yan didn't have high expectations for the age of her fifth spirit ring.
As long as it was a 10,000-year spirit ring, she could accept it.
In fact, because her fourth ring was eight thousand years old, the upper limit of what her fifth ring could bear was no longer twelve thousand years; it would have to be at least fifteen thousand years.
She could even try one that was sixteen or seventeen thousand years old.
In her opinion, as long as the nutritional meal made from 10,000-year whale jelly could be used before Spirit Saint, it would be good. It would allow her to absorb a higher-aged seventh spirit ring and give her the chance to attempt a 100,000-year spirit ring for her eighth ring.
"Really?"
Sun Qi said in surprise.
"Will you be able to help me make a copy then?"
Hmph!
Dugu Bo's cold snort echoed. "You brat, do you really take this old man for an angel investor?"
If Sun Qi knew his thoughts, he would definitely say, "Aren't you?"
"I'll ask for you then." Dugu Yan said.
She heard her grandfather's cold snort but still agreed.
Dugu Bo, who was meditating with his eyes closed, felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
After chatting with Dugu Yan for a while, they both began to cultivate.
Among them, Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi cultivated in the valley, using the power of ice and fire to rapidly refine himself.
The 'Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body' part of the Stone Monkey skill was usually useless to them, but in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it could exert some effect.
"Xiaogang."
Liu Erlong and Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang lying in bed, their expressions slightly anxious.
Bang!
The door opened, and Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin quickly entered the room.
"Flender, what happened? That kid Sun Qi just came to me and dropped out of school."
He looked furious.
Strictly speaking, Sun Qi was recruited into the Academy by him, so of course, he wasn't in a good mood when Sun Qi wanted to drop out.
After questioning, he finally saw Yu Xiaogang lying unconscious in bed.
"What's going on? Did he hit his head on the wall and pass out?"
