Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 178 The Method of Absorbing the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow
"By the way, are we supposed to just eat this thing directly?"

On the way, Guangling Douluo held a small piece of Xuanbing Marrow in his hand, feeling the terrifying coldness on it. This thing felt harder than a stone, and it was really hard on his teeth.

"Of course not." Xue Di appeared, sat on Gu Han's shoulder with her legs crossed, and said, "Soul beasts can swallow and gnaw on this thing directly, but it's different for humans. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you still need to pay attention to the method."

"What method?" Guangling asked.

"Dilute it, melt the ice water, mix it with water to dilute the large amount of coldness, and then consume it. Since your cultivation level is high and your martial soul's attribute is top-level ice attribute, a 1:1 ratio is enough. Ordinary people need a 1:100 ratio."

"However, even for you, it needs to be done in stages. It's best to absorb it once every three days. You also need to be careful of the accumulation of cold toxins. You need to find a warmer environment or eat some warm medicinal herbs to neutralize it."

"Also, although this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is a good thing, excessive consumption will deplete your life force. For us soul beasts, sleeping for a period of time will be fine, but I don't know about humans. So I advise you to eat less."

"Overdrafting one's life force?"

Guangling blinked, looked at the Xuanbing Marrow in her hand, and instantly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore. Eating this stuff would shorten her lifespan.

"Uh, it's okay. Maybe humans don't have this limitation, after all, humans and soul beasts have different physiques."

In fact, even the Snow Empress couldn't be sure whether humans, after absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, would need to overdraw their life force, just like soul beasts.

But most likely, nothing will happen, since everyone's constitution is different.

Just like how a soul beast needs to overcome a heavenly tribulation every time it breaks through the 100,000-year mark.

After reaching level 95, humans only need to reach a certain level of resonance and comprehension with their martial soul to break through.

"You don't need to worry too much. Although the Xuanbing Marrow will deplete your life force, it will also help you break through. After level 90, a human's lifespan will increase with each level gained. So, in a way, you won't lose out."

"makes sense."

Guangling nodded slightly. Moreover, how much life force could this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow possibly draw upon?
If he doesn't take it, he'll be stuck at level 97. If he does take it, his martial soul will evolve to its ultimate attribute, and his upper limit will increase accordingly. As his upper limit increases, his level will follow. Once he reaches a higher level, he'll only have a little bit of life force left.

“Senior Guangling, I found this in a ruin. Although my Yang spirit can go in, it is too dangerous for my physical body to go in there. When my strength reaches that level, I will take you there. Perhaps there will be an even greater surprise.”

Gu Han did not reveal the matter of the Ice God Ruins. To be precise, it was not the right time yet. He would wait until he became a Title Douluo and could withstand the dangers within before joining forces with Guang Ling to break in.

If Guangling can accept the inheritance, then everyone will be happy; if not, it won't be a blow to his morale.

"What surprise?"

Guangling looked up curiously.

Gu Han smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when I reach level 90."

Guangling pursed her lips upon hearing this, but did not press the matter further.

Based on his understanding of the kid, if the other party didn't want to talk, there was no point in asking again.

Shuofeng City.

Gu Han met up with Bibi Dong and the others. Guang Ling took some whale glue and a 70,000-year-old soul bone and then said goodbye, preparing to head to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, where he planned to absorb the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing Marrow.

As for Gu Han, he strolled around Shuofeng City with Bibi Dong for a while.

Because of Gu Han's current great achievements, not only Qinghe Village erected a statue of him, but even the Shuofeng Junior Academy, where he once studied, also erected a statue of him.

The grandson of the city lord back then is now only a level 20+ Great Soul Master, but he boasts every day that he was fortunate enough to fight Gu Han back then and even withstood one of his punches.

The humiliation of being publicly beaten back then has now become this fat man's honor. Gu Han had nothing to say about it, he just smiled and let it go.

Incidentally, the two of them went back to Qinghe Village alone.

At this time, Qinghe Village is much larger than it was back then, and life is getting better and better. This has led to surrounding villages flocking to this area. At this rate, it will become a small town in less than ten years.

Old Master Gu's prestige grew higher and higher, and everyone respected him greatly. Even the city lord of Shuofeng City treated him with great respect and would come to visit him during festivals and holidays, whether there was anything else to do or not.

The old man was sentimental and refused everyone's request to build him a new house.

An old house, a small courtyard, some vegetables, a little yellow dog and a few chickens. When the weather is nice, people sit on the deck chair outside and sleep. When it gets cold, they light a stove inside and roast chestnuts and sweet potatoes.

Mr. Gu also enjoys this comfortable life.

"Grandpa, I've come back to see you."

Gu Han pushed open the door with practiced ease and saw Old Master Gu lying on a recliner, basking in the sun.

As for knocking on the door?

Do you need to knock on the door to get back to your own home?

"Haha, Xiaohan is back! Oh, and Dong'er too! Come in, come in, come in."

When Old Master Gu heard Gu Han's voice, he looked up in surprise. However, when he saw Bibi Dong, his smile widened.

By this time, the old man had already regarded Bibi Dong as his granddaughter-in-law, and he was naturally happy to see her come along.

"Grandpa Gu, my junior brother and I have come to see you. How are you doing?"

This wasn't Bibi Dong's first visit; she would come back several times a year with Gu Han, so she was naturally very familiar with the old man. She stepped forward, took the old man's arm, and led him into the house.

"Haha, good, good, this old man is in good health, you don't need to worry."

Old Gu's laughter was full of energy, and he looked great; he was clearly in excellent health and had a good appetite.

Gu Han followed him into the room and closed the door behind him.

The room still had the same old furnishings, but Gu Han had converted the old bed into a kang (heated brick bed), since this place was close to the far north and the winters were very cold.

So, based on his memories from his previous life, Gu Han recreated the kang (heated brick bed) and replaced the previous bed.

The stove inside was burning brightly, and the teapot sitting on it was steaming and making a "sizzling" sound.

Old Gu handed Bibi Dong a stool, gesturing for her to sit down, and then sat down himself by the stove.

"Dong'er, did Xiao Han bully you? If he did, tell Grandpa, and I'll hit him with the sole of my shoe."

Gu Han was just getting himself a stool to sit down when he heard this and his lips twitched.

Bibi Dong glanced at Gu Han with amusement, then waved her hand and laughed, "No, my junior brother is very good to me."

"That's good, I doubt that kid would dare."

Old Master Gu naturally knew who Gu Han was; he was just making conversation and saying it casually.
