Chapter 24: Breaking Through to Great Soul Master, Despairing Bibi Dong
The moment this idea surfaced, Yun Yuan continued to think deeply; he felt that his idea still had a certain level of feasibility.
But it was only a certain level of feasibility. Douluo Continent was not like the neighboring Battle Through the Heavens Continent; its alchemy system was not complete at all.
Furthermore, even if he knew how to perform alchemy, how would he use Immortal Herbs for it? How could he reasonably combine the Immortal Herbs to refine the most perfect pill he needed?
All of these were problems Yun Yuan needed to overcome.
Though there were many problems, the benefits Yun Yuan would gain upon overcoming them would be extremely bountiful. Once the method of refining pills with Immortal Herbs succeeded, he might even be able to leap across two realms because of it.
"I'm really hesitant. Should I try the Immortal Herb alchemy method or not?"
Not long after, Yun Yuan shook his head vigorously and temporarily tossed the idea to the back of his mind. Now was not the time for him to think about such things.
At the very least, he had to wait until he found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; otherwise, no matter how many ideas he had, they would be useless without the Immortal Herbs.
The only use of Immortal Herbs for him was likely increasing his Soul Power level. As for evolving his Martial Soul or improving his natural talent, he didn't hold much hope.
Because his Martial Soul's strength was too high and his talent too strong, Immortal-grade flowers and plants were not enough to change them.
Retracting his thoughts, Yun Yuan intended to focus most of his time on meditating and cultivating his Soul Power.
His current Soul Power level had already reached Rank 18. He was only two ranks away from breaking through to Great Soul Master and obtaining his second Soul Ring.
A few days later, after memorizing the Records of Ancient Herb and recording it in a new book, Yun Yuan returned the precious volume to Yue Guan and turned his focus toward Soul Power cultivation.
Three months later.
At the peak of the mountain behind the The Pope's Palace, inside Yun Yuan's palace.
At this moment, Yun Yuan was meditating and cultivating. The next instant, the aura on his body suddenly surged.
Before long, after Yun Yuan stabilized his Soul Power fluctuations, he slowly opened both eyes, which were filled with excitement and agitation.
"Rank 20. I can finally obtain my second Soul Ring."
After three months of meditative cultivation, his Soul Power level had risen from Rank 18 to Rank 20. He had become a quasi-Great Soul Master, needing only one Soul Ring to officially become a Great Soul Master.
Furthermore, during these three months—or rather, ever since discovering the effects of the whale glue—he would consume it from time to time to improve his physical fitness.
Now, with his physical fitness, he was comparable to a Beast Martial Soul Soul Elder. Even absorbing a two-thousand-year Soul Ring was not out of the question.
Thinking of this, Yun Yuan pushed open the palace gates and walked toward the The Pope's Palace. He wanted to share his joy with Qian Xunji and find a time to obtain his second Soul Ring.
After a while, Yun Yuan's figure appeared within the The Pope's Palace. At this time, Qian Xunji was still working hard to handle the affairs of Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall was currently flourishing. Above, Qian Daoliu presided over Spirit Hall, deterring the world and standing at the pinnacle of Soul Masters.
Below, Yun Yuan's talent was world-startling, enough to suppress the future Soul Master World. As the Pope, how could he afford to be slack?
Looking at the arriving Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji set down the matters he was handling, feeling slightly puzzled in his heart.
Could it be that Yun Yuan had encountered a problem in his cultivation?
With this thought in mind, Qian Xunji stood up. His figure flashed, and he arrived by Yun Yuan's side, asking patiently:
"Xiao Yuan, have you come this time to ask your teacher about problems in your cultivation?"
Hearing this, Yun Yuan shook his head slightly and then revealed his own Soul Power aura.
"Teacher, look quickly. Your disciple has broken through to Great Soul Master."
Hearing Yun Yuan's words and sensing his Soul Power fluctuations, Qian Xunji was shocked. This disciple of his—wasn't his talent in meditative cultivation a bit too extraordinary?
After Yun Yuan obtained his first Soul Ring, his expectation for Yun Yuan was that he hoped he could break through to Great Soul Master before the age of eight.
He never imagined that before a year had even passed, this exceptionally talented disciple of his would already be a Great Soul Master. This cultivation speed was truly terrifying to the extreme.
"Good, good, good!"
Qian Xunji said "good" three times in a row. One could imagine the excitement in his heart.
Then, he was able to guess Yun Yuan's purpose for coming to see him at the The Pope's Palace this time; it was nothing more than discussing the time to obtain a Soul Ring.
"Xiao Yuan, since you have already broken through to Great Soul Master, in three days—no, tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to the Star Dou Great Forest again to obtain your second Soul Ring."
After discussing the time to obtain the Soul Ring with Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan left the The Pope's Palace, waiting for tomorrow's arrival.
Every time he obtained a Soul Ring, Yun Yuan's heart was exceptionally excited, because that represented him reaching another level.
Watching the process of himself gradually becoming stronger was a kind of enjoyment for him. Now he somewhat understood why those Old freaks in the cultivation world would go into seclusion for countless years to break through realms.
The joy of an increase in cultivation was unimaginable.
Night, Yun Yuan's palace.
Bibi Dong barged directly into Yun Yuan's palace, looking at Yun Yuan with a face full of disbelief.
"Junior Brother, how did you break through to Great Soul Master?"
She had just learned the news that Yun Yuan had already broken through to Great Soul Master from her teacher, Qian Xunji. No one knew how desperate she felt at that moment.
Her current Soul Power level was only Rank 15. To break through to Great Soul Master, she still needed over a year's time.
By the time she broke through to Great Soul Master, with her junior brother's cultivation speed, wouldn't he have broken through directly to Soul Elder?
That would be too unfair.
Both had Innate full soul power, so why was her cultivation speed and Yun Yuan's not on the same level at all? She didn't understand.
Seeing Bibi Dong's broken state, Yun Yuan chuckled. He reached out to rub her head and began to fool her.
"Senior Sister, your junior brother works so hard at cultivating every day. Isn't breaking through to Great Soul Master a matter of course?"
"As the saying goes, heaven rewards the diligent; you reap what you sow. Senior Sister, if you can't break through to Great Soul Master, you should think about your own problems and whether you have been working hard at cultivating."
This theory of Yun Yuan's was, of course, fake. His cultivation speed was already beyond what any Soul Master on the Douluo Continent could compare to.
If one wanted to exceed him in Soul Power rank-up speed, there was only one way, and that was to use cheats; otherwise, it was completely impossible.
Hearing Yun Yuan's lecture, Bibi Dong spread out her fingers and began to calculate. After a few seconds, she said aggrievedly:
"Junior Brother, I admit you really do work hard at cultivating, but, but... even if I used all my time to cultivate, I wouldn't even be able to see your dust!"
"This definitely isn't because of me. It must be that your cultivation speed is too fast, not that I'm not working hard."
Seeing that Bibi Dong's train of thought was still quite clear, Yun Yuan smiled and couldn't help but praise her.
"Mm, Senior Sister, it seems you aren't too stupid after all. I thought you really believed my words."
Realizing that Yun Yuan was intentionally teasing her, Bibi Dong's face turned red with anger. She pouted, and while clenching her small fists to thump directly at Yun Yuan's chest, she scolded angrily:
"Bad Junior Brother, tricking Senior Sister again."
