Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 35 Right Leg Bone, Absorption
"The Demon-Eyed Tree..."

Lin Nuo hesitated and was a little uncertain.

To be honest, he was a little hesitant to absorb this spirit ring, not because of the Demon Eye Tree's poison. Many plants are poisonous, and its poison was just a minor trick, far from being its specialty.

Even if Lin Nuo absorbs its spirit ring, he probably won't gain its poison attribute ability. Compared to the vitality of the Demon Eye Tree itself, its poison is insignificant.

The real reason for his hesitation was the spiritual power of the Demon Eye Tree.

Although this race is made of plants, they are among the most powerful plant-type spirit beasts in terms of mental strength. Even if this Demon Eye Tree, unlike the Demon King, has not devoured a Celestial Herb, its mental strength may not be as exaggerated, but it is certainly just as powerful.

Its mental strength is formidable; the soul impact it would have to withstand when absorbing its spirit ring would likely be considerable.

Lin Nuo was unsure whether he could withstand the soul impact of the Demon Eye Tree's soul ring.

"Is there a problem?" Seeing Lin Nuo hesitate, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask.

He then explained his concerns to Jing Hongchen, who calmly smiled upon hearing them.

"It's good that you can be cautious, but your understanding of powerful soul beasts is still insufficient. You're right, the Demon Eye Tree does have outstanding spiritual power, far surpassing other soul beasts of the same level, but don't forget, it is ultimately a plant soul beast."

Plant-based spirit beasts are naturally less intelligent than animal-based spirit beasts. Even if a plant has reached 76,000 years of cultivation, its intelligence is probably only equivalent to that of an ordinary animal-based spirit beast that is 20,000 to 30,000 years old.

The classic Douluo Continent theory states that mental strength is not the same as intelligence, and it is flawless.

"Its mental strength is indeed powerful, but the soul impact it can cause after becoming a soul ring is far less powerful than you imagine. Even with its superior mental strength compared to others of the same level, it is probably only about the same as a 50,000-year-old soul beast."

"That's why I dared to let you absorb its spirit ring. I've thought of everything you can think of. Don't worry, as long as you like its spirit ring, we'll hunt it down directly. Absorb it without worry."

A flawless plan!

Compared to Xuanzi, Jing Hongchen provided an overwhelming sense of security, leaving Lin Nuo with absolutely no worries.

“That’s it then, Grandpa Mirror, thank you!” Lin Nuo said.

"No big deal!" Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, took out a large number of soul tools from his soul tool, and a fierce burst of fire suddenly erupted, with a large number of attacks enveloping the Demon Eye Tree like a shower of flowers.

The opponent is a plant-type soul beast, which is not very mobile, and is also a mental-type mage. It would be unwise to get close.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen adopted the simplest and most brutal firepower coverage, with continuous explosions and mushroom clouds perfectly demonstrating what it means to launch an all-round attack.

Not long after, Jing Hongchen stopped attacking, leaving only the rotten stump of the Demon Eye Tree in place. Although it looked pitiful and dead, it was actually still alive.

Jing Hongchen did not focus on destroying its root system, but instead used a covering attack to continuously deplete its state and vitality.

However, it is indeed not far from death. If left unattended, it can revive itself thanks to the tenacious life force of plants. But if someone takes action, that is when it is most vulnerable.

"Alright, Arno, let's end it." Jing Hongchen raised his chin at the rotten wooden stake.

“Okay, Grandpa Mirror.” Lin Nuo nodded, took out the Sword of Judgment, and unleashed a long-range sword aura of light that cleaved the rotten wooden stake in two.

Even so, it wasn't dead yet. Lin Nuo had to use a move called Judgment of Light to completely kill it. A huge black spirit ring, nearly two meters in diameter and radiating a heavy aura, gradually emerged. At the very center of the spirit ring, a piece of dark green right leg bone floated.

Seventy-six thousand years, the Demon Eye Tree Soul Ring.

Seventy-six thousand years ago, the right leg bone of the Demon Eye Tree.

The older a soul beast is, the greater the probability of it producing a soul bone. And for top-tier soul beasts like the Demon Eye Tree, the probability of producing a soul bone is even greater. Lin Nuo was not surprised that it could drop a soul bone.

On the contrary, Jing Hongchen was in a very good mood, and the smile on her face was undisguised.

After a soul-hunting trip, I not only obtained a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear external soul bone, but also a Demon Eye Tree right leg bone with an age of 76,000 years. This is a huge harvest!

Even in Shrek Academy, this soul bone would be considered a top-tier soul bone, let alone in a place like the Sun Moon Empire where soul bones are even scarcer.

"Arno, you're such a lucky star!" Jing Hongchen couldn't help but exclaim. "Keep this soul bone and absorb it later. Soul rings and soul bones from the same soul beast can only exert their strongest effect when absorbed by the same soul master."

"Once you absorb the spirit ring and the spirit bone together, there is a high probability that this spirit bone will be no worse than an ordinary 100,000-year spirit bone."

Lin Nuo nodded, put the soul bone into his pouch, and then sat cross-legged in front of the soul ring: "Grandpa Mirror, I'll start absorbing it now."

"Absorb with confidence, I'll protect you!" Jing Hongchen nodded, wiped his chest, and a thin metal piece appeared in his hand. With the infusion of his soul power, he threw the metal piece out.

Immediately afterwards, a transparent and colorless soul power barrier completely enveloped Lin Nuo.

With the protection of a level nine soul tool, unless a 100,000-year-old soul beast descends, no soul beast can possibly interfere with Lin Nuo's absorption process.

Seeing this, Lin Nuo was completely relieved and released his martial spirit to begin absorbing the spirit ring in front of him.

Under the pull of his martial soul, a huge black soul ring landed on his body, slowly pulsating around the Blue Silver Grass in his right palm. With each pulsation, a massive and violent soul force surged into Lin Nuo's body, impacting his level 60 bottleneck.

Absorption has begun.

The first wave of soul power impact caused Lin Nuo's face to flush red.

The lifespan of this spirit ring is almost at his current limit. In fact, if he could absorb the spirit bone first, the process of absorbing the spirit ring would be much easier. However, spirit rings have a time limit and will only exist for one hour.

One hour is clearly not enough for him to absorb the soul bone completely.

I guess I'll just have to endure more hardship.

Waves of soul power continuously assaulted the meridians within his body. The immense and violent soul power oppressed his body, giving Lin Nuo a tingling sensation as if he were being repeatedly crushed by the Heavy Truck Celestial.

But it was just pain; there was no physical breakdown.

Despite taking so many medications, Lin Nuo's physical strength is still intact; this spirit ring isn't enough to turn him into fireworks.

As soul power continued to flow in, the remaining soul of the Demon Eye Tree also entered Lin Nuo's body along with the soul power, transforming into a twisted giant tree that took root in his sea of ​​consciousness.
