Chapter 7 Those minor difficulties were nothing more than a few trials and tribulations!
Notting City is located at the intersection of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. If you want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, you must pass through Spirit City.
This is a very dangerous situation for Jiang Li and Tang San right now.
A young genius who has cultivated to the level of Soul Saint, along with a kid with innate full soul power—if that madman in Spirit City were to discover such a combination, he would definitely try every means to keep them both in Spirit City.
And given that madman's current attitude towards the angel race, once he discovers the master and disciple, he'll inevitably follow the familiar pattern of inviting them to dinner, beheading them, and taking them in as dogs.
However, the types of soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City are too rare. Since Tang San has become his disciple and is very filial, Jiang Li feels that as his teacher, he must also fulfill his responsibilities as a master.
Therefore, the best choice for this Soul Hunt is the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City.
As the second largest Soul Hunting Forest on the Douluo Continent, it boasts a wide variety of soul beasts.
He also took this opportunity to see if he could find the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Eyes.
With Tang San as a human-shaped herbal encyclopedia, he could further enhance his abilities if he found suitable immortal herbs.
The next day, Jiang Li found a luxurious carriage and took Tang San towards Sunset Forest.
Tang San was incredibly excited throughout the journey.
According to Jiang Li, due to the cultivation system of this world, Soul Masters must absorb the corresponding soul rings in order to advance in rank.
Doesn't that mean that once he obtains a suitable soul ring, his Mysterious Heaven Art, which has reached a bottleneck, can successfully break through to the next stage?
He also believed that, based on his master's experience, he would surely find a suitable soul ring for him.
'It's a pity my master isn't a disciple of the Tang Clan, otherwise I would definitely teach him the Mysterious Heaven Art.'
Tang San thought to himself.
However, he quickly realized that he already had the idea of establishing the Tang Sect in another world.
Once the Tang Clan's foundation is established, he will have his master become the Supreme Elder, so that he can legitimately pass on the corresponding cultivation techniques to his master.
Of course, before setting off, he had already given Jiang Li the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that he had specially made, and the latter also expressed his approval of his desire to go blacksmithing.
Halfway there, Jiang Li, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly remembered something very important.
Several pieces of top-grade whale glue were quietly stored inside his storage soul tool.
When his soul power was low, he was unable to obtain these things. Now that he has this ability, the whale glue has become negligible in improving him.
"Little San, Master has something very important here that you need to decide for yourself."
Hearing Jiang Li's serious tone, Tang San immediately sat up straight. "Master, please speak."
"Little San, according to the common knowledge of the Soul Master world in the past, the absorption limit of a Soul Master's first soul ring is usually more than 400 years."
"But I have a secret method that will allow you to make your first soul ring 600 or even 700 years old. In that case, your second soul ring can achieve the feat of a thousand years."
"A Soul Master's golden age is only a few years, so it can be said that if you are fast at one step, you will be fast at every step."
"However, what I'm worried about now is that once you become the second ring of the millennium, you'll face endless troubles. As for the reason, I believe you should be able to guess it with your intelligence."
After hearing what his master said, Tang San only pondered for a moment before becoming resolute.
Cultivation is inherently defying the heavens; those minor difficulties are nothing more than a few trials and tribulations!
"Master, please help me!"
Tang San stood up and bowed solemnly to Jiang Li.
"Alright, since you have such ambition, then I will help you grow, even if it costs me my life!"
However, what he was thinking was that with Tang Dachui around, the other party would definitely help him and his apprentice solve all their difficulties.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Tang San kowtowed to Jiang Li several more times.
Soon, Jiang Li took out a crystalline object that was either milky white or light gray and had a semi-transparent texture from his storage soul tool.
This thing is somewhat similar to the jelly that wasn't fully set in his previous life.
This piece of whale glue is several thousand years old, making it perfect for Tang San to consume now.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li had the driver stop the car nearby. He grabbed Tang San's shoulder and quickly led him to a dense forest with a water source.
"Little San, after you take this, you must endure any discomfort you experience later."
"And during this process, your body will continuously eliminate some impurities, which can be cleansed in this stream."
Jiang Li gave these specific instructions.
However, he also believed that with Tang San's composure from his two lifetimes, the situation of Dai Yuhao and that slutty chicken in the Sea God Lake ten thousand years later should not happen again.
"I understand, Master!"
Tang San nodded hurriedly, realizing that he really owed his master more and more.
Such a secret medicine that can cleanse the marrow would be extremely precious even in the Tang Clan of Bashu in his previous life, but his master was willing to give him such a precious thing directly!
I can never repay my master's kindness!
Soon, as Jiang Li released his soul power, the whale glue in his hand softened and he put it into a bowl, which he then handed to Tang San.
The scene was instantly filled with a strange fragrance.
The latter glanced firmly at the bowl Jiang Li handed him, gritted his teeth, and drank it down in one gulp.
In an instant, the strong, pungent smell of the sea forcefully assaulted Tang San's nostrils.
Before the fishy smell could fully dissipate on the tip of the tongue, it suddenly condensed into a warm, scalding current that slid down the throat and into the stomach.
The strange sensation of alternating warmth and coolness instantly made Tang San squint his eyes in comfort.
Soon, he felt as if a scorching hot stove had been stuffed into his chest and abdomen.
The warmth was no longer just a few scattered points, but spread slowly along the skin, even reaching the extremities.
Immediately afterwards, a warm current surged through his meridians and flowed into his limbs and bones.
At this moment, Tang San's skin had turned a translucent crimson, and even the sweat that seeped out had a faint reddish-brown tinge.
Those impurities that lie dormant deep within the meridians and are difficult to remove are slowly seeping away from the skin with sweat, condensing into a thin layer of white frost on the skin's surface.
Ignoring everything else, he quickly removed his clothes and entered the stream, focusing intently on refining the essence.
