Chapter 111: Rank 48 Peak!
Dugu Bo acted swiftly and decisively. He left quickly and returned just as fast.
In less than half a day, he had already returned, and in his hand was an additional jade box.
The inside of the box was cleverly divided into two sections, each containing an Immortal Herb that radiated a magnificent luster.
One of them was the Narcissus Jade Bone, which looked like a crystalline white flower, clean and flawless like a green lotus or white lotus root.
The other was the Strange Velvet Sky Reaching Chrysanthemum. It was shaped like a massive chrysanthemum, with petals of a magnificent purple hue. Strangely, every petal looked soft and fuzzy, giving it an unexpectedly cute appearance.
The entire chrysanthemum was seamless, yet it emitted no fragrance. The stamen at the center rose more than half a foot above the petals, its tip shining with a faint golden luster.
Soon after, under everyone's gaze, Lin Mo began to consume the Immortal Herb.
The first one he consumed was the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which was known for its fierce medicinal properties.
"Eat the central stamen first, then the petals."
Both the stamen and the petals melted the moment they entered his mouth, turning into a warm current that slid down his throat and into his abdomen.
After consuming the Strange Velvet Sky Reaching Chrysanthemum, Lin Mo felt a gentle energy spread from his abdomen to his limbs and bones, nourishing his meridians, bones, flesh, and blood.
Although this energy was vast, it did not give him the feeling of excessive medicinal power threatening to burst his body as he had expected.
As expected, with his current physical condition, consuming a single Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was still far from reaching the point of excessive medicinal power.
Afterward, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan took turns stepping forward, carefully checking his pulse, spirit power fluctuations, and blood circulation.
Only after confirming that everything was stable, with no signs of adverse reaction, did they finally relax and allow Lin Mo to continue consuming the second Immortal Herb, the Narcissus Jade Bone.
The method of consuming the Narcissus Jade Bone was similar to that of the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, only the order was slightly reversed.
"Eat the petals first, then suck on the stamen."
When the entire Narcissus Jade Bone had been consumed, Lin Mo truly felt a clear difference this time.
A medicinal power that was not inferior to the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum erupted within his body, rapidly merging with the medicinal power he had consumed earlier.
The two vast energies converged, causing all the meridians in his body to feel slightly swollen. A faint jade color even began to surface on his skin.
However, apart from a warm sensation spreading throughout his body, there was still no discomfort.
Soon, Lin Mo did not delay any longer.
After nodding to Ye Linyuan and Dugu Bo to indicate that he was fine, he immediately stood up and walked toward the quiet chamber that had been prepared in advance, ready to begin his seclusion and refine the vast medicinal power within him.
He had a premonition that the time needed to refine the medicinal power of these two top-tier Immortal Herbs at the same time might be unprecedentedly long.
After Lin Mo entered seclusion, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling waited in the Medical Hall for two or three days.
When they realized that Lin Mo clearly showed no sign of coming out of seclusion anytime soon, they returned to their normal cultivation and study routines first.
Ye Linyuan and Dugu Bo, however, were exceptionally attentive. They took turns guarding outside the secret chamber where Lin Mo was in seclusion.
One day, Ye Linyuan sensed the increasingly dense and heavy spirit power fluctuations within the secret chamber. He could not help stroking his beard and sighing softly.
"This kid Lin Mo, if he can completely refine and absorb the medicinal power of these two Immortal Herbs this time, could his cultivation surge in one go and reach the Rank 50 Bottleneck?"
"If he really can break through in one go, wouldn't he become a twelve-year-old Spirit King? Old Poison, do you think we are witnessing history?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and lowered his gaze toward the secret chamber.
"This shouldn't be possible, right? How could the Rank 50 Bottleneck be that easy to break through?"
However, halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.
He remembered what had happened to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan after they consumed their Immortal Herbs.
Each of them had consumed only one Immortal Herb, yet their spirit power cultivation had directly increased by about five or six Ranks.
Although Lin Mo's current cultivation was much higher than theirs had been back then, Lin Mo was not consuming just one Immortal Herb this time.
Relying on two Immortal Herbs to push his spirit power from Rank 41 to Rank 50 in one go seemed, somehow, not entirely impossible.
Thinking of this, a flash of astonishment immediately crossed Dugu Bo's eyes.
Time slowly passed as they waited.
Soon, a month had passed since Lin Mo first began his seclusion.
However, unlike what Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan had imagined, Lin Mo did not refine all the medicinal power in one go this time.
After absorbing his fourth spirit ring, his spirit power Rank had already reached more than halfway through Rank 41.
If he had refined all the medicinal power from the two Immortal Herbs at once, it would not have been difficult for them to make up the remaining eight and a half Ranks of spirit power for him.
But the key problem was that Lin Mo did not intend to raise his spirit power Rank to Rank 50 all at once for the time being.
At the very least, he could not raise his spirit power Rank to Rank 50 in front of Ye Linyuan and the others.
The reason was simple. When his spirit power Rank broke through to Rank 50, Charmeleon would undergo another evolution, evolving from Charmeleon into Charizard.
This was the most critical evolution of Lin Mo's detached Martial Soul.
And just like when Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, Lin Mo still intended to attribute the reason for the evolution to the Blazing Yang Spring.
Therefore, the best situation would be for him to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a period of time before making the breakthrough.
In any case, there was no need to rush this brief moment.
Inside the secret chamber, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the spirit power in his body, which had grown far larger than before, a look of joy could not help appearing on his face.
He closed his eyes and focused his attention on himself, causing his panel to appear.
Only then did he clearly see that the spirit power row displayed Rank 48. However, according to his own perception, his spirit power should already be at the peak of Rank 48.
This was because he had deliberately left a portion of the medicinal power dormant in the depths of his meridians and limbs, choosing not to refine it yet.
However, the real reason this seclusion had taken such a long time was that, under the complementary effects of the two Immortal Herbs, his Body Martial Soul had once again awakened.
The body parts awakened this time were his bones and meridians.
His corresponding physical fitness and meridian tolerance had been greatly enhanced. This would be extremely beneficial to him in the future, whether for cultivating spirit power or absorbing spirit rings.
After finishing his cultivation, Lin Mo slowly stood up and stretched. A series of crisp popping sounds rang out from his body, from top to bottom.
His bones and muscles resonated.
He pushed open the door and saw the two elders waiting outside. Lin Mo bowed slightly and saluted.
"Teacher, Senior, I have worried you during this time. My current condition is better than ever!"
Spirit power surged out from his body, and the fluctuations of Rank 48 spirit power were fully revealed.
