Dugu Bo was fully concentrated, staring intently at the two Sun Qis in the spring.
He glanced at Stone Monkey · Sun Qi, who had recovered his hands, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: there was clearly a safer method, but he insisted on grabbing it directly with his hands.
Fortunately, taking both poisons together and jumping into the Ice and Fire Spring Eye could indeed suppress the toxicity of the two poisonous Immortal Herbs.
"It actually can replicate the situation of the Ice and Fire Refined Body," Dugu Bo murmured in surprise.
In the spring water, both Sun Qis were located at the dividing line between the ice spring and the fire spring.
Twin · Sun Qi took a deep breath, allowing his entire body to be immersed in the spring water.
Above his head, there was a layer of phantom, emitting a golden light.
Unconsciously, he had entered the state of his Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique and also activated his Spirit's secondary awakening.
This was his strongest state.
Time flowed by.
Five days later.
Twin · Sun Qi sat cross-legged in the spring water, his expression composed.
"I've finally perfectly digested the medicinal power."
Unfortunately, the two Immortal Herbs, when opposed, could refine the body, but they also consumed too much power, resulting in almost no increase in spirit power.
He was at level thirty-six when he arrived, and after digesting the two Immortal Herbs, he was still at level thirty-six.
"Senior, he might need to cultivate for a while longer."
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi explained to Dugu Bo.
Twin Spirits' main body wasn't planning on coming out for a while.
Since the two Immortal Herbs didn't even raise him by one level, he had to find a way to make up for it. Perhaps the power of this spring water could compensate for some of it.
And indeed, in the spring water, he broke through one level in just half a month, reaching level thirty-seven.
"Thank you, Senior, during this time."
Twin · Sun Qi left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and bowed to Dugu Bowith cupped fists.
The combination of the Blazing Heart Grass and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the effect of the Ice and Fire Refined Body, was much better for Twin · Sun Qi than for Stone Monkey · Sun Qi. In just a few days, Twin · Sun Qi felt that he had already far surpassed Stone Monkey · Sun Qi, who had been refining his body for so long.
However, because Little Sun had possessed him during the body refinement process, Little Sun had now perfected the Stone Monkey skill, and some key points in his body had also been opened up with the help of the medicinal power.
Next, with a certain amount of time, Stone Monkey · Sun Qi's body refinement progress would surely catch up.
"It's a pity these two heaven and earth treasures don't increase spirit power," Dugu Bo sighed, waving his hand.
He thought he would witness the fourth Sun Qi breaking through to Spirit Ancestor today, but it turned out he had thought too much.
"Let's go, it's time for you to return to Spirit Hall."
As he spoke, he looked at Eyes Sun Qi, who was already prepared.
This time, Eyes Sun Qi's visit here was purely for show, with no special progress.
Of course, a little progress was not impossible; after all, this was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with such strong characteristics of ice and fire power and life essence. Even half a month here could yield some small gains, but they were too minor compared to the Immortal Herbs.
"After returning to Spirit Hall, just don't reveal the situation here to the old man," Dugu Bo led the two Sun Qis out of the valley and to the location he had agreed upon with Yue Guan.
Yue Guan arrived as promised.
He looked at Twin · Sun Qi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Clearly, he had already sensed Twin · Sun Qi's changes.
"Old Poison, I didn't expect you to have such skills."
Such skills, indeed.
Dugu Bo proudly said, "I don't like to boast. You can ask him yourself how much progress he made this time."
"No need to ask, I can already feel it. When I go back this time, I will speak a few good words for you in front of the Supreme Pontiff."
"Develop the ten-thousand-year nutrition meal sooner, I'm anxious to use it for my granddaughter."
Dugu Bo urged for development online.
"If you really can't develop it, tell me your ideas, and I can try to help you solve it."
"No need."
Yue Guan felt he was being looked down upon.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Now you just need to cultivate in peace. You still have some distance to go before reaching level fifty. Everything might have to wait until after the Spirit Master Tournament."
Inside the valley, all four entered a state of secluded cultivation.
After a series of miscellaneous tasks, Dugu Bo finally had time for himself and seized the opportunity to organize his previous insights.
The two Sun Qis focused wholeheartedly on cultivation, still hoping to break through to level fifty before the Spirit Master Tournament and create a surprise.
Dugu Yan was also quickly familiarizing herself with her new Spirit.
Spirit City.
Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong examined Twin · Sun Qi's body, a look of surprise on her face.
"He really did get some benefits from Dugu Bo."
She looked at Eyes Sun Qi and asked if he had gained anything.
"Supreme Pontiff, I merely cultivated there for a period of time."
Bibi Dong nodded.
Of the two Sun Qis, one making great progress was already enough.
"Yue Guan, finalize the cooperation with Dugu Bo. Let him provide various medicinal ingredients for consumption, and give him purchasing authority for the ten-thousand-year nutrition meal."
"Yes."
Yue Guan breathed a sigh of relief.
Bibi Dong's words no longer indicated that he should look for the third person of the Golden Second Generation; instead, there was a hint of wanting him to return to the development of nutrition meals.
"I will notify the Spirit Halls in major cities. Any talented Spirit Masters encountered should be sent directly to Spirit Hall. Within these two years, any Hall Master who can recommend a genius qualified to join a Spirit Hall team will receive double rewards."
Time flowed by.
Five months later.
Shenfeng City.
"Exchange match?"
Cloud · Sun Qi's expression was strange as he looked at the excited Feng Xiaotian.
"That's right, the Four Element Academies have always had a tradition of exchange matches. In the year before the Spirit Master Tournament, two cities will host exchange matches with each other. Our Shenfeng City usually exchanges with Blazing Fire City."
Of course, Sun Qi knew why Feng Xiaotian, that bootlicker, was so excited.
An exchange match naturally meant that Huo Wu would come here, and Feng Xiaotian, as Huo Wu's number one bootlicker, was naturally thrilled.
Two days later.
The exchange match began.
Shenfeng Academy's Spirit Fighting Stage.
Sun Qi entered as a formal member of the Shenfeng Team.
That's right, he had become a formal member.
Even though he still had ample time to appear in the next two competitions, he had already reached the level of a formal member in terms of strength, so Director Tian naturally made him a starter.
Sun Qi looked across and saw that Feng Xiaotian had somehow already reached the Blazing Fire Team's position and was talking to Huo Wu.
Over two years, due to Sun Qi, Feng Xiaotian was forced to stop his self-created Spirit Ability and first cultivate his spirit power. Now, his spirit power had reached level forty-three.
There was still a full year until the Spirit Master Tournament. According to his cultivation speed, he was estimated to break through to level forty-seven by the time of the tournament.
Compared to the original work, where he was level forty-four at twenty-four years old, he was much faster.
It was estimated that within a year after the tournament, he would be able to attempt to break through to level fifty and become a Spirit King.
This talent was already top-tier on the continent.
One must know that he had already wasted a lot of time on his self-created Spirit Ability.
After Sun Qi arrived, in the first few months when he was stimulated, he also intensified his efforts to create his own Spirit Ability. Director Tiannoticed him, arranged a battle, and beat him into self-isolation. Only then did he give up on his self-created Spirit Ability and focus on cultivating his spirit power.
