—------------------—
Within his line of sight, Xiao Wu's body gradually became formless.
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing's bright red spirit ring had already retracted to her feet, with four yellow and purple spirit rings gently pulsating inside the blood-red spirit ring.
At the same time, a streak of blood-red light suddenly appeared on her left arm, and a faint red arm bone phantom flashed and disappeared.
The System's voice also resounded in Shi Quan's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully inducing Xiao Wu's sacrifice, triggering a Plunder Treasure Chest. Detecting 1 Plunder Treasure Chest has been triggered. Plunder Treasure Chest integrating…"
After a brief pause, the System's voice came again.
"Plunder Treasure Chest integration complete. A new Plunder Treasure Chest has been opened for the Host. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining One Qi Transforming into Three Purities!"
"Holy crap!" Shi Quan's pupils contracted. He even suspected he had misheard. "One Qi Transforming into Three Purities! Is the Primordial Era coming?"
Shi Quan quickly summoned the System's storage space to check.
One Qi Transforming into Three Purities: One of the thirty-six peerless Divine Abilities in "Major Thousand Worlds."
Note: This Divine Ability has been perfected and modified by the System, perfectly suiting the Host, and contains the power of True Martial Spirit. The Host's current strength allows Cultivation.
"It's not the One Qi Transforming into Three Purities from the Primordial Era? But the Worldview of Major Thousand Worlds is incomparable to Douluo. Major Thousand Worlds, the concept is different."
Shi Quan was still ecstatic.
"What's wrong, A Quan?" Zhuqing looked at the slightly dazed Shi Quan, stepped forward, took his hand, and asked softly.
"Nothing." Shi Quan came back to his senses, looked at Zhuqing, and asked, "How's the harvest?"
"I'm already level fifty-seven," Zhuqing said calmly, without the joy of rapid strength advancement.
Although she was an enemy, Xiao Wu's sacrifice for love still had a significant impact on Zhuqing.
"You've improved by eight levels?" Shi Quan also smiled faintly and nodded.
During the period of Cultivation in the Water Fire Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's cave, Zhuqing had already reached level forty-nine. The improvement brought by the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone was undoubtedly enormous, directly raising her by eight levels.
Why did Xiao Wu sacrifice herself?
This was inseparable from Shi Quan's meticulously planned design.
First, using the illusion of the Martial Spirit Moon Reading, he brought Xiao Wu's Soul and mental state to the brink of collapse; this was the first step.
The second step was to use Xiao Meng's dream control ability, combined with the fifth Spirit Ability of the Soul Martial Spirit, to immerse Xiao Wu in a dream from which she could not awaken, making her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, thereby leading her to willingly sacrifice herself.
The fifth Spirit Ability, Dream Soul Captivation, involves forcibly instilling a large amount of chaotic and insane memories and thoughts into the target's mind, causing their consciousness to become muddled and their mental force Sea to violently fluctuate, thereby leading to distorted thoughts and confused memories. When used properly, it can achieve the level of brainwashing, and of course, it can also directly cause the opponent's mind to collapse and crumble.
Shi Quan precisely used this ability, based on the original plot of Xiao Wu's sacrifice, to fabricate a memory of Tang San coming to rescue her, and then used Xiao Meng's ability to manifest it within the dream.
Xiao Wu's mental state was already at its absolute worst due to the torment of the Martial Spirit Moon Reading. This interconnected inducement, hope amidst despair, made her mistakenly believe the dream was reality.
The jumbled memories, coupled with a dream comparable to reality, led Xiao Wu to face Tang San's suicidal rescue, and this despair beneath hope caused her to sacrifice her Life and Soul.
This act was indeed somewhat malicious, but facing an enemy, Shi Quan could not bring himself to be soft-hearted.
"What about the Spirit abilities?" Shi Quan continued to ask.
Zhuqing replied, "The spirit ring has two Spirit abilities. One is Emptiness, which grants immunity to all non-energy-based physical attacks and reduces any energy attack by fifty percent."
"The second Spirit Ability is Instant Kill Eight Stage Stab, which allows me to perform eight rapid stabs on an enemy in a short period. Each stab carries extremely strong penetrating and defense-breaking power, has a knock-back ability, and can stack attack strength and speed. As long as the first hit connects, subsequent hits are almost impossible to dodge."
"A Ghostly Cat version of Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop? Stacking attack power and attack speed, if combined with Nine Yin White Bone Claw, the upper limit of this Spirit Ability is quite high," Shi Quan thought to himself.
Zhuqing's voice continued, "Xiao Wu also provided me with a left arm Spirit Bone. The Spirit Bone skill also has two abilities: one is Teleportation, with a range of one hundred meters, and the other is Invincible Golden Body, which grants three seconds of invincibility. However, it has a limited number of uses, only three times a day. When Invincible Golden Body is activated, my own status also receives a certain amplification, roughly by one time. But like Invincible Golden Body, it only lasts for three seconds."
"Hiss..." Dugu Bo gasped, "These Spirit abilities are a bit too strong. Immunity to physical attacks from Emptiness is already exaggerated, and then there's Invincible Golden Body. Plus Teleportation, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring directly maxes out your Life-saving skills. And there's an offensive Spirit Ability like Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop; you're well-rounded in both offense and defense."
"This is all Shi Quan's credit." Zhuqing's face flushed slightly as she nodded.
"Lingling and Yan Yan both have true dragon soul bones, so our Zhuqing can't be without one, right?"
"Alright, now we just need to wait for Yan Yan and Lingling to finish absorbing their Spirit Bones and god-bestowed spirit rings, then we can go to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Not long after, Shi Quan brought Zhuqing and Dugu Bo back into the cave.
"Zhuqing, our strength has changed quite a bit recently. Let's consolidate it first."
After a simple arrangement, Shi Quan went to a corner. Once Dugu Bo and Zhuqing were immersed in Cultivation, he sat down cross-legged.
His consciousness entered the System's storage space.
His gaze fell upon One Qi Transforming into Three Purities.
"Extract!"
As Shi Quan's thought moved, a spiritual light emerged, slowly descending upon the center of Shi Quan's brows!
Buzz.
The spiritual light instantly spread out from Shi Quan's brow. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped his entire body. That speck of crystalline light seemed to pierce through Shi Quan's forehead, penetrating his mental force Sea.
And Shi Quan's body also trembled violently at this moment. He felt a vast, ocean-like stream of information pouring frantically into his mind.
The sheer volume of that information almost caused his mind to explode instantly. This feeling was even more exaggerated than when he extracted the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Scriptures. Fortunately, his mental force had already been tempered through countless trials, but even so, the intense pain still caused veins to protrude on Shi Quan's body like earthworms, making him look extremely grotesque.
Fortunately, Shi Quan had specifically waited until Dugu Bo and Zhuqing had both fallen into Cultivation before extracting it; otherwise, Shi Quan's appearance like this would definitely attract their attention.
And as Shi Quan's expression twisted, a spiritual light suddenly condensed in the depths of his mind. Within the spiritual light, ancient characters quietly formed.
"One Qi Transforming into Three Purities!"
The characters of spiritual light condensed and then dispersed, followed immediately by the profound and abstruse mental cultivation technique flowing through, and it also contained a large amount of experience and insights from Cultivation.
Shi Quan's mind was almost instantly immersed in the profound mental cultivation technique and insights.
With Shi Quan's current talent, it was difficult to fully grasp the profundity of the abstruse content, but the various insights contained within provided Shi Quan with the best guidance, and many of the incomprehensible profound points also brought a sense of sudden enlightenment.
This was the power of True Martial Spirit mentioned in the System's notes; otherwise, with Shi Quan's ability, he would not be able to Cultivate it successfully, even if he could Cultivate it at all.
Shi Quan was completely immersed in comprehending the profundity of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, unaware of the passage of time.
A week passed, and the two girls also awakened from their Spirit Bone absorption.
The two Divine Rank true dragon torso bones undoubtedly brought enormous improvements to both of them.
In terms of appearance, both girls' temperaments became more noble, their facial features more delicate, their figures taller, and they appeared more shapely.
The Martial Spirit of the two girls also showed obvious evolution and mutation.
Dugu Yan's Martial Spirit had completely evolved. The powerful fire attribute had thoroughly tempered Dugu Yan's Martial Spirit. Although the poison attribute was retained, it was now primarily fire, with poison as a secondary attribute. Her emerald green snake body had turned fiery red, having completely transformed into a Dragon.
As for Ye Lingling's Sacred Heart Begonia Martial Spirit, it also underwent a mutation, transforming into a new form called Nine Serenity Sea棠, with its pure healing attribute converting into pure water and ice attributes.
The Martial Spirit also became more dazzling, with different abilities in different forms. Although it possessed two different abilities, it was still the same Martial Spirit.
According to the special terminology of the Spirit Master's world, Ye Lingling's current situation belonged to One Martial Spirit, Double Souls.
Under different forms, the Spirit abilities were also different.
This was the Divine Rank true dragon soul bone; without divine force, how could it bring such astonishing improvements and changes to the two girls?
Due to absorbing the Dragon Bone, Ye Lingling's spirit power also reached level fifty.
There was no need to mention Dugu Yan; her spirit power was already level fifty before she absorbed the Spirit Bone.
Looking at Shi Quan, who was still immersed in Cultivation, the two girls learned from Dugu Bo and Zhuqing about what had happened during their Spirit Bone absorption.
Upon hearing that Shi Quan had successfully absorbed a god-bestowed spirit ring, the two girls were equally eager to try absorbing a god-bestowed spirit ring themselves.
They were clear about their own strength. Not to mention absorbing all the energy from the god-bestowed spirit ring, their goal was to aim for a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!
Their bodies had absorbed the power of Immortal Herb, then undergone transformation by Dragon Soul power, then absorbed a true dragon soul bone, and now absorbed another Divine Rank true dragon soul bone. This was their confidence in daring to aim for a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
After a simple consolidation, the two girls also began their respective challenges.
Watching the two girls persist, stained with blood, Zhuqing had already made a decision regarding her sixth spirit ring: a hundred-thousand-year one! She also wanted to aim for it!
Dugu Bo, seeing this, was heartbroken, but he also hoped that Dugu Yan could persevere. A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was something he had never dared to dream of before, but now it seemed commonplace. After all, Shi Quan and Zhuqing's fifth spirit rings already had the precedent of being hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. He naturally hoped his granddaughter would not fall behind Shi Quan and the others...
