Chapter 238 Absorbing Moon Milk to Enhance Mental Power
Dugu Han picked up the small bottle containing the moon milk.

Compared to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw right arm bone, he valued the Moon Milk, which could enhance his mental strength, much more.

There were only three drops of moon milk in the small bottle; it was milky white and solidified without dispersing.

According to the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, this comes from a treasure land of the Sun and Moon Empire, and in that treasure land there is a deep pool called the Moon Gazing Pool!

As its name suggests, Wangyuetan (Moon-gazing Pool) gazes at the moon in the night sky, constantly absorbing the essence of moonlight, and ultimately only condenses a single drop of moon milk every hundred years.

It is somewhat similar to the Zhongling Milk in Dugu Han's memory, but the difference is that the moon milk has no effect on improving the body. It only has one function, which is to greatly enhance the spiritual power of the soul master.

Kong Deming is not a spirit-type soul master, but he was able to possess tangible yet intangible spiritual power close to its peak at level 94, largely due to the use of Moon Milk.

"According to my uncle, Master Kong took two drops of moon milk, which enabled his spiritual power to completely enter the level of tangible yet intangible."

"I wonder if these three drops of moon milk will be enough to break through my spiritual power to a tangible and substantial level?"

Dugu Han looked at the moon milk in his hand, pondered for a moment, then opened it and dripped it onto his brow.

The moment the three drops of moon milk touched his brow, they seemed to come alive, quickly seeping into his skin and transforming into countless silvery-white threads that swiftly penetrated his spiritual sea.

In an instant, Dugu Han's originally calm and still spiritual sea suddenly rippled as the spiritual threads formed from the moon milk entered.

A misty energy was rapidly gathering above his spiritual sea.

First, it condensed into tiny specks of light, then transformed into gossamer-like silver threads, weaving a semi-transparent net of light deep within the sea of ​​consciousness…

Dugu Han's temples throbbed, and at that moment, the image of Wangyue Pool reflecting the bright moon appeared in his mind.

At the same time, the essence of moonlight contained in the moon milk was constantly flowing into his spiritual sea, like the tide.

In his spiritual sea, the net of light woven from silver threads suddenly trembled, each thread bursting with tiny fluorescent rays, and Wanrun fell like silver sand tempered by moonlight.

Dugu Han's spiritual sea was instantly turbulent, and the originally translucent light net gradually took on a shape under the pressure.

It was a waning crescent moon floating in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness. Although its edges were still shrouded in a hazy mist, the spiritual energy veins that resembled the grooves on the moon's surface could already be seen.

As the last wisp of moonlight essence merged into the silver thread, the illusory crescent moon suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver light. The misty spiritual energy was forcibly compressed, condensing into a thin, cicada-wing-like film of light on the surface of the moon.

At the same time, the moon became increasingly solid, to the point that if one did not look closely, one would not be able to detect that it was a phantom, but would only regard it as a real entity.

Immediately afterwards, the silvery crescent moon suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise. The light membrane composed of silver lines rippled with the rotation, and with each rotation, the mist around the edge of the moon dissipated a little.

Meanwhile, Dugu Han's spiritual sea was also rapidly expanding as the waning moon rotated.

I do not know how long it has been!

The crescent moon suddenly stopped rotating, and then abruptly collapsed.

Instantly, an incomparably pure spiritual energy poured down from it into the sea of ​​spirit below.

Meanwhile, Dugu Han's spiritual sea also stopped expanding and began to receive spiritual power from the waning moon.

Gradually, as he absorbed the spiritual energy from the waning moon, his spiritual sea, like the waning moon, became increasingly solid.

Dugu Han could clearly sense that his mental strength had also changed.

From a state where it only had shape but no substance, it gradually became like flowing water wrapped in ice, possessing both the fluidity of liquid and the stagnation of solid, and it was constantly changing.

At the same time, the crescent moon that had collapsed gradually lost its shape and completely transformed into pure spiritual energy, which was absorbed entirely by Dugu Han's spiritual sea.

……

Dugu Han's consciousness was also suddenly pulled into a special tempering process. The spiritual power wrapped in "ice" collided violently in this tempering process. The sense of flow and the force of stagnation gradually merged in the tearing process - just like the melted silver frost re-condensed, but with more metallic cold and hard luster than before.

He watched as the spiritual ocean within the spiritual sea began to ripple with fine, crystalline patterns.

As the last wisp of the crescent moon's energy merged into his senses, Dugu Han's mental perception, which originally only covered a radius of two kilometers, suddenly broke free of its shackles and rapidly increased its range at a visible speed.

Three kilometers... five kilometers... seven kilometers... nine kilometers...

When Dugu Han's mental perception expanded to a radius of nine kilometers, the rate at which the distance continued to increase suddenly slowed down.

9.1 km...9.3 km...

It wasn't until it reached a distance of ten kilometers that it finally gave up and came to an abrupt end.

At the same time, everything within a ten-kilometer radius of Dugu Han unfolded in his mind like a scroll painting.

The heartbeats of wild beasts in the crevices of distant mountain rocks transformed into fine silver dots, the trails of night dew dripping from treetops condensed into shimmering silver lines, and even everything in this manor, and the households in the town seven or eight kilometers away, presented clear outlines in his mind.

Ten kilometers from the manor, even the fluttering of an insect's wings couldn't escape Dugu Han's senses. "Your Majesty, Master, I've led men to search that area thoroughly, but we still haven't found Zhongli Wu and the other two, nor the bodies of those worshippers from the Holy Spirit Cult. They must be completely gone!"

This is Ye Yulin's voice reporting to the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and Kong Deming.

However, his voice was transmitted to Dugu Han's sea of ​​consciousness with unparalleled clarity after Dugu Han released his spiritual perception.

There were also other sounds coming from the manor.

For example, the whispers of several palace maids, and the quiet discussions among some eunuchs about the day's events.

If Dugu Han were willing, he could detect everything spoken by people within the entire manor, including the distant town, as long as it was within a ten-kilometer radius.

Then, a figure of Dugu Han, entirely formed from spiritual power, emerged from his body.

Compared to before, the current avatar of spiritual power is no longer illusory and looks no different from a real entity.

However, upon closer inspection, some subtle differences can still be observed.

"Unfortunately, it was just a little short!"

Dugu Han dispelled his avatar and opened his eyes.

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

His current peak spiritual power, which is tangible yet intangible, is only slightly inferior to truly tangible spiritual power.

But this tiny bit represents two different levels of spiritual power, which are worlds apart.

After all, spiritual power, which is tangible but intangible, is still something that humans can achieve.

As for tangible and substantial spiritual power, let alone the Limit Douluo among humans, even the two strongest spiritual-type soul beasts, the Sea Princess and the Evil Emperor, have not been able to achieve it.

Even a million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would fall just short of reaching this level.

"I hope you can help me break through this barrier!"

Dugu Han focused his gaze on the silver box containing the dragon girl's bloodline.

It contains the bloodline of ninety-nine dragon maidens.

The Dragon Girl herself possesses powerful spiritual energy, and mating with the Dragon Girl can further enhance a Soul Master's spiritual energy.

The bloodline of the ninety-nine dragon maidens contains immense spiritual energy. If he could absorb it, it would definitely help him break through this limit and allow his spiritual power to enter a tangible and substantial realm.

It can also give him dragon blood.

only……

"Before absorbing it, I need to go back to the academy and ask my teacher for help in resolving the curse."

Dugu Han put away the silver box containing the dragon girl's bloodline, along with three other wooden boxes containing 100,000-year-old whale glue.

He then picked up the right arm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was standing nearby.

The right arm bone is entirely golden, as if it were cast from gold, without any flaws, and is of very high quality.

And it is extremely compatible with his Dark Gold Terrorclaw.

The external soul bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw, a type of palm bone, has certain requirements for the right arm bone that is subsequently absorbed; otherwise, a rejection reaction will occur.

The right arm bone from a similar type of soul beast is undoubtedly the most suitable soul bone, without exception.

Dugu Han flicked his five fingers, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw instantly appeared under his control.

Next, he took the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm bone, attached it to his own right arm, and began to absorb it.

As soon as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm bone touched the skin, flowing dark patterns appeared on the golden bone surface. Then, it suddenly emitted a clear and melodious tremor, and the entire bone turned into a thick golden liquid along with the tremor.

It seemed to be alive, tearing the flesh of his right arm and slowly melting into the bones.

In that instant, Dugu Han felt a pain as if his flesh was being forcibly torn apart.

This pain was caused by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear forcibly tearing the flesh from his right arm during the fusion process, and even with his high physical strength, he could not avoid it.

Then, a piercing pain came from his right hand.

The dark gold claw on his right hand turned back into liquid metal and merged back into his right hand, fusing with the right arm bone he was absorbing.
