Chapter 176: The Fourth Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Yin-Yang Complement Dual Spirit Cores
Within this, there was both the accumulation of her hard cultivation over the past year and the majestic energy contained within the hundred thousand year spirit ring, which finally allowed her to achieve a Breakthrough.
Ah Yin, on the other hand, had finished absorbing her Soul Bone early on. Her Soul Power naturally broke through the Bottleneck to reach rank eighty, after which she successfully condensed her eighth Soul Ring, stepping into the rank eighty-one Soul Douluo Realm in one fell swoop.
With this, the group delayed no longer and set off to return to Sea God Island.
The pack of Devil Spirit Great White Sharks cleaved through the waves at a very rapid speed.
In just two hours, they returned to Sea God Island.
...
The next evening.
The setting sun dyed the entire sky a warm orange-yellow.
Sea God Island appeared exceptionally tranquil in the afterglow.
And this day was somewhat special; today marked Su Mo's twenty-first year on the Douluo Continent.
At this moment, in a luxurious private room of an elegant restaurant in Seahorse City, Bo Saixi had prepared a banquet early on.
The dishes on the table were all top-tier seafood unique to Sea God Island. Because Bo Saixi had come in person, everyone in the restaurant dared not slack off in the slightest; every dish was perfect in color, aroma, and taste, with exquisite plating like works of art.
And because Su Mo did not want to be too high-profile, only he and Bibi Dong's group of four women attended this banquet.
At this moment, except for Bibi Dong, Ah Yin and the others presented their prepared gifts one after another.
Although they were not cultivation items, every gift represented their heartfelt intentions, and Su Mo accepted them one by one with a smile.
Finally, Bibi Dong took out an exquisite wooden box from her spirit tool and presented it to Su Mo with both hands: "Su Mo, this is the gift I prepared for you."
Su Mo accepted it with a smile and, under the curious gazes of the women, gently opened the box.
The moment the lid was opened, a majestic wave of energy instantly poured out.
Lying inside was precisely that hundred thousand year Right Leg Bone from the Evil Spirit Orca King.
"Dong'er, this is far too precious..." Su Mo looked up, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. "You should keep it for yourself..."
"Oh... you're not allowed to refuse me," Bibi Dong interrupted him directly. "For so long, you've always been the one taking care of me. Just let me do something for you.
I know none of your Soul Bones are below the hundred thousand year level, and this Soul Bone is just right for you."
Hearing this, Su Mo's heart warmed. He no longer declined, but instead curled his lips into a smile: "Alright, thank you, Dong'er. I didn't expect that I, too, would one day live off a woman."
Bibi Dong naturally heard the jest in his voice. She gave him a mock-annoyed glare and joked, "Then let Big Sister support you from now on, and you can just peacefully enjoy living off me."
Compared to Bibi Dong and Su Mo's playful banter, Ah Yin and the other two women on the side felt that the gifts they had just presented were somewhat embarrassing to show after seeing Bibi Dong give a hundred thousand year Soul Bone, and a trace of awkwardness couldn't help but appear on their faces.
Su Mo keenly caught the change in their expressions and smiled, "I like everything you all gave me. A gift is not about its value, but the thought behind it. Just knowing that you were willing to put thought into it for me makes me very happy."
Hearing him say this, the three women smiled once again.
But they had all secretly made up their minds to definitely give Su Mo even better things in the future.
"Alright, let's clink glasses."
Su Mo took the lead in raising his wine glass, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the four women one by one.
The women smiled at each other, raised their glasses, clinked them gently, and tilted their heads back to drain them.
The banquet did not last very long; after all, there were only the five of them.
Amidst the talking and laughing, the banquet dispersed in just half an hour.
Walking out of the restaurant, the night breeze brushed gently against their faces and the moonlight fell like water, enveloping the entire Seahorse City in tranquility.
The group trod under the moonlight, returning to their residence at an unhurried pace.
This night, Su Mo did not sleep at all.
He first spent most of the night with Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang's cultivation bases were still shallow, and their physical fitness was far inferior to Su Mo's, so they quickly found themselves unable to keep up.
Once the two of them suffered defeat one after another due to physical exhaustion, Su Mo got up to find Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi.
Compared to Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang, Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong were different.
The physical fitness of the two of them at this moment was already astonishingly powerful, and their endurance was even more extraordinary.
Su Mo tossed and turned with them for a long time before finally making both of them admit defeat as well, falling into a deep sleep.
Battling four people in a single night, if not for Su Mo's extremely powerful physique now, he might really have been unable to hold out.
The next morning, Su Mo entered the cultivation chamber feeling completely refreshed, with not a trace of having stayed up all night visible on his face.
He took out that hundred thousand year Right Leg Bone, sat cross-legged, placed the Soul Bone against his right leg, closed his eyes, and quietly refined it.
With his current cultivation level, even a hundred thousand year Soul Bone was absorbed extremely quickly.
In just about a day's time, he successfully absorbed that hundred thousand year Soul Bone.
At this moment, his Soul Power had already stepped into rank ninety-eight.
This was the result of over a year of hard cultivation, and combined with the majestic energy of the Soul Bone, he broke through to this Realm in one go.
After Su Mo arose and came out of seclusion, he found the four women and spoke with a solemn expression:
"Dong'er, Ah Yin, Shuanger, what I am about to say next will be of great help to you. Once successful, your strength will experience a qualitative leap. However, the entire process is also accompanied by immense risks, so you must listen carefully."
Hearing this, except for Bo Saixi, whose expression remained normal, the expressions of Bibi Dong and the other two women turned solemn.
"What I want to talk about is called the spirit core..."
Su Mo explained the various details of condensing a spirit core in simple terms, making it highly organized and easy to understand.
The more the women listened, the more alarmed they became, their eyes filled with shock.
"Xi Xi, next I will enter closed-door cultivation to try and condense my second spirit core." Su Mo turned to Bo Saixi. "When Dong'er condenses her spirit core, you will need to take extra care to watch over her."
As one of his closest people, Bo Saixi had been taught the method of condensing a spirit core by Su Mo hand-in-hand a long time ago.
And with Bo Saixi's strength and talent, the first spirit core was naturally not an issue.
"Don't worry," Bo Saixi nodded with a smile.
Su Mo nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Bibi Dong and the other two women as he continued, "My closed-door cultivation this time might take a long time. After you condense your spirit core, Dong'er, you all should go and complete your respective Fifth Trials."
The three women nodded in unison.
The group quickly dispersed, and Su Mo stepped into the cultivation chamber once again.
He sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and began to attempt to condense his second spirit core.
He knew very well that the condensation of the second spirit core was divided into two paths: Co-position Resonance and Yin-Yang Complement.
The former involved the two spirit cores rotating at the same frequency, echoing each other; it was relatively safe and was the choice of the vast majority of future generations.
The latter, however, involved counter-rotation, which was extremely perilous. The entire process was like dancing on the edge of a blade; every detail had to be precise to the millimeter, and the slightest carelessness would result in falling on the spot.
But once successful, the benefits it brought were far beyond what Co-position Resonance could compare to.
Su Mo made his choice with almost no hesitation.
The path he wanted to take was precisely the Yin-Yang Complement.
