Chapter 112: Seclusion!
Sensing the spirit power fluctuations emanating from Lin Mo, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan.
Dugu Bo patted Lin Mo hard on the shoulder and laughed. "Rank 48! Good kid, your cultivation speed is so fast that people can't even find it in themselves to be jealous!"
Ye Linyuan stroked his beard, his eyes full of gratification. "Not bad. Although you haven't reached the Rank 50 Bottleneck yet, at this rate, becoming a twelve-year-old Spirit King is absolutely certain."
He looked at Dugu Bo and smiled. "Old Poison, do you think we're witnessing history firsthand?"
"That's for sure!" Dugu Bo lifted his chin slightly.
Ye Linyuan was in high spirits and waved his hand. "Let's go! We must celebrate today! My treat, at the best restaurant in Heaven Dou City!"
He immediately called Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The group left the Ye Family Medical Hall and headed straight for Tianxiang Restaurant, the most prosperous restaurant in the center of Heaven Dou City.
Tianxiang Restaurant, top-floor private room.
The table was covered with all kinds of delicacies, and their aroma filled the air.
Everyone sat around the table, and the atmosphere was lively.
After three rounds of wine and five courses of food, the conversation naturally returned to Lin Mo's cultivation.
When Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan received confirmation from the two elders that Lin Mo's spirit power had already reached Rank 48, their reactions were completely different.
Ye Lingling's hand, which was holding her chopsticks, paused slightly. Her purple eyes looked at Lin Mo with obvious resentment.
She snorted softly and muttered in a low voice, "I finally managed to catch up a little, and now I've been left so far behind again."
Previously, with the help of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, her spirit power had increased rapidly, and she had once seen a chance to overtake Lin Mo. She had not expected that after only a short period of steady cultivation, he would leave her behind again.
She could not help feeling a little depressed.
After all, when Lin Mo first arrived at the Ye Family Medical Hall, his cultivation had been far inferior to hers. How had he overtaken her again?
Dugu Yan was much more open-minded. She picked up some food for Lin Mo and said casually, "Lingling, you should be more open-minded."
"I've long since gotten used to it. This guy Lin Mo simply can't be judged by common sense."
She still remembered when she first met Lin Mo at the academy. At that time, Lin Mo's spirit power Rank had clearly been lower than hers, but his actual combat power had already surpassed hers.
Now, just over two years later, the gap in their cultivation had widened again, yet she felt it was perfectly normal.
Seeing the harmony between the three juniors, especially the natural closeness between his granddaughter and Lin Mo, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan exchanged a look and both burst into laughter.
They were more than happy to see such a scene.
After spending so much time together, they had long since realized that Lin Mo's talent and character were both top-notch. His relationship with their two families was also extremely close. In their eyes, he was the most ideal candidate for a grandson-in-law.
As for how the juniors' feelings would ultimately develop, they, as elders, did not intend to interfere too much. They would simply let nature take its course.
As the feast drew to a close, Lin Mo put down his teacup, looked at Dugu Bo, and said, "Senior, I plan to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for another period of seclusion, just like before."
The Blazing Yang Spring within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a top-tier Mimicry Cultivation Environment for Charmeleon, allowing it to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself was much denser than in the outside world. Even though there was no cultivation environment specifically tailored to Lin Mo's bloodline attributes, his speed of cultivating spirit power there would still surpass the ordinary Mimicry Cultivation Environments provided by Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Bo was already used to this and nodded. "Fine. Just manage it yourself. If you need anything or encounter any problems, send me a message at any time."
At this moment, Dugu Yan seemed to remember something. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Lin Mo, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Lin Mo, if you still don't plan to return to the academy this time, I'm afraid Teacher Qin's newly formulated teaching plan will be stalled again."
"Hm? What happened?" Lin Mo looked at her curiously.
Dugu Yan spread her hands and explained, "Teacher Qin is only leading eight of us now."
"It's one thing that you're almost never at the academy, but the key is that guy Yu Tianheng. After getting his silver soul dueling badge a while ago, he also took a long leave from Teacher Qin and returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for seclusion."
She paused, an amused expression appearing on her face. "I think he was clearly stimulated by Lingling and me breaking through to Spirit Ancestor so quickly. He's in a hurry to return to his clan and use their resources to push for Rank 40."
Ye Lingling softly added from the side, "So now, the only ones still attending classes normally under Teacher Qin are me, Yanyan, the Shi brothers, Yufeng, and Oslo, six people in total."
"We can't even gather enough people to form a complete seven-person team for team coordination training."
Lin Mo could not help smiling helplessly after hearing this.
For him, compared to the team coordination training he needed to do, breaking through in his own cultivation was clearly more important.
He said, "There's no rush for team coordination for now. In any case, there's still plenty of time before the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament begins."
"After my seclusion ends this time and my cultivation has made another breakthrough, it still won't be too late to focus on team training."
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked at each other, both wearing expressions that seemed to say, "As expected."
Dugu Yan waved her hand. "Alright, I understand. Lingling and I will explain it to Teacher Qin."
"Anyway, you're hardly ever at the academy, so Teacher Qin is probably almost used to it by now."
Her tone carried a bit of teasing. Clearly, she was already very experienced in dealing with Teacher Qin's inquiries.
After the feast ended, Lin Mo did not delay. He bid farewell to everyone and once again entered the depths of the Sunset Forest alone, arriving at the valley protected by the poison formation.
The familiar Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well came into view again. The red and white spring waters were still clearly separated, steaming with extremely cold and extremely hot auras.
As soon as he stepped into the valley, Charmeleon, who had already been summoned by Lin Mo, gave an excited low growl.
It turned its head and looked familiarly at Lin Mo, as if greeting him, then leaped into the Blazing Yang Spring with a splash.
With the improvement of its cultivation, it could now dive deeper into the Yang Spring and absorb even purer and more massive fire-attribute Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
Lin Mo stood at the edge of the spring, feeling the hot air and dense Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi blowing against his face, and took a deep breath.
His gaze swept over Charmeleon, who was swimming comfortably in the spring water. Then, sensing the Immortal Herb medicinal power still dormant deep within his limbs and bones, his eyes became firm.
"This time, I won't come out until I reach Rank 50!"
