Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

In other words, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast's attack power is actually quite weak, and absorbing such a spirit ring would indeed make Tianlin safer in his current state.

"Xiao Tian, ​​be careful later. Although the Purple Fire Golden-Eyed Beast is not strong in combat, it has two other characteristics besides its flames being able to seal soul power. First, it is very intelligent, and second, it is very alert. With its golden eyes, it can see how many legs a mosquito has within several kilometers."

"Because of these two points, it often becomes the strategist of some physically strong but mentally weak groups, such as the volcano gorilla you mentioned earlier."

"So, to hunt the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast, you'll have to face an entire clan, right?" Tianlin understood the meaning behind Chenxin's words.

“That’s right. The Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast is despicable by nature and will stop at nothing to achieve its goals. The shadow of the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast can be seen behind several beast tides that have been launched in the Star Dou Great Forest.” Because of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin did not believe that strength was everything. Sometimes, wisdom is really more terrifying than strength.

"Fortunately, the beast we're hunting this time is only a thousand-year-old Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast, so its intelligence growth shouldn't be that high yet." Chen Xin said as he landed on the ground.

As mentioned earlier, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast's greatest strength lies in its intelligence and eyesight, making it extremely conspicuous when flying high in the sky.

The two walked through the jungle. This place was still on the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul beasts that appeared were not very strong. Most of them had a cultivation period of ten or a hundred years, and the strongest was only about ten thousand years old.

Because of Sword Douluo's presence, even the most ferocious soul beasts dared not attack them, but at this moment, Tianlin realized that something was wrong.

"Master, don't you think there are too many soul beasts around?"

Back when we went to the Soul Hunting Forest, the weak soul beasts didn't even dare to get close, let alone attack, because of Sword Douluo's sharp sword energy. Could it be that the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are so much stronger than those in the Soul Hunting Forest, even though they are both hundreds or thousands of years old?

Sword Douluo smiled slightly, quite satisfied with his disciple's quick wit. "That's right, there are too many of them. Rather than saying these soul beasts are afraid of me, it's more accurate to say they're surrounding me without attacking!"

"It seems we've been discovered by the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast!"

Chapter 34 Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast

The two stopped in their tracks, realizing they had unknowingly fallen into the trap of the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast.

Those seemingly harmless hundred- or thousand-year-old soul beasts have actually been slowly gathering together, and Tianlin and Sword Douluo seem to have gone from hunters to prey.

Looking at the numerous spirit beasts eyeing him menacingly, Chen Xin smiled and said, "Tian Lin, I'll teach you another lesson today. In the face of absolute power, even the strongest wisdom is useless."

After saying that, the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand, and at the same time, two yellow, two purple and five black souls, a total of nine, began to rotate around Chen Xin's body. A huge and cold killing aura spread out, and even without opening the Seven Kill Domain, Chen Xin was able to control his killing aura.

In the shadows, a golden-eyed soul beast was completely terrified. It had initially thought they were two ordinary soul masters, but it turned out that one of them was actually a titled Douluo.

That is a terrifying existence that can rival a 100,000-year-old soul beast. No matter how many ordinary 100-year or 1000-year-old soul beasts there are, they can never be his match.

The golden-eyed soul beast began to retreat, but little did it know that if it didn't move, it would have been fine, because as soon as it moved, Chen Xin immediately discovered its presence.

"Heh, as expected of one of the smartest soul beasts, it immediately tried to retreat when it saw the situation was not good?" Chen Xin appeared behind the soul beast as if he had teleported.

"Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast, you are indeed very clever, but unfortunately, you are less than ten thousand years old and all you have is petty cleverness. If you don't move, surrounded by so many wild soul beasts, I really will have a hard time finding you."

The soul beast in front of Chen Xin resembled a wolfhound, covered in golden fur and possessing golden eyes, with what appeared to be a purple flame burning within its pupils.

"Judging from your physique, you must have just passed a thousand years ago, which is perfect for my disciple." After saying that, Chen Xin attacked without hesitation, releasing a strong sense of pressure from his longsword.

"Roar!" Just then, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast suddenly roared.

This was his signal to summon his subordinates, but its order did not seem to be to attack Chen Xin to rescue him, but rather to command all the soul beasts to attack Tian Lin together.

What a brilliant strategy of relieving the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao! If it were an ordinary Soul Master, they would have no choice but to go back to rescue them, but Chen Xin didn't have to.

"Second Soul Skill, Spirit Sword Protection!"

Chen Xin swung the Seven Kill Sword, and instantly the sword flew to Tian Lin's front. The powerful sword energy formed a protective shield. This was a defensive soul skill, which immediately blocked all the soul beasts outside the sword energy, preventing them from attacking Tian Lin.

Upon seeing this, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast shot out a beam of fire from its eyes. This was its soul skill, Sealing Purple Flame, which could seal a portion of the opponent's soul power.

Chen Xin neither flinched nor dodged, and was completely enveloped by the purple flames.

The Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast was overjoyed. The Title Douluo Martial Soul in front of it was no longer in its hands, and a portion of its soul power had been sealed by itself. If it could just order the beasts to surround and attack, it would have a great chance of turning the tables.

At its command, the beasts immediately abandoned Tianlin, who was being protected by the spirit sword, and turned their attention to Chenxin.

At that moment, a cold voice came from the flames, "Even without the sword in my hand, my sharpness will not be diminished in the slightest, because I am the sword!"

"Tianlin, watch closely, this is the true killing intent spreading from the Seven Kill Sword Technique!"

Chen Xin used his arm as a sword, and with a casual swing, he released countless sharp sword energies. Each sword energy contained a strong killing intent, and the killing intent alone could make people lose their will to fight.

A moment later, Chen Xin not only broke through the flames on his body, but all the surrounding soul beasts were also injured by the sword energy. This Sword Douluo, who was number one in attack, had already shown mercy.

If he really intended to go on a killing spree, all the soul beasts here would probably be dead. However, his only target today is the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast. He can spare the others, since soul beasts don't grow easily and killing one means one less. Chen Xin is also thinking about the future. Apart from hunting soul rings for necessary cultivation, he basically won't hunt soul beasts indiscriminately.

Therefore, despite his strength and status, he doesn't possess many soul bones, and his calm demeanor is probably why he has always been stronger than the more ambitious Bone Douluo.

"Xiao Tian, ​​come here. This Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast has almost no fighting spirit left. Now is the best time to absorb its soul ring."

Chen Xin was genuinely concerned about Tian Lin. He had been releasing killing intent all day, actually in an attempt to extinguish the will of the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast.

Just as Liu Erlong tormented the Earth King to the point of questioning his existence in the original novel, Ma Hongjun absorbed its spirit ring with exceptional ease after losing his will to live.

The Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast is extremely intelligent, and the more intelligent a person is, the more easily they are afraid of terrible things. This is also reflected in soul beasts. At least now, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast does not dare to resist Chen Xin at all.

Since acknowledging Tianlin's absorption of the millennium soul ring, Chenxin has been trying his best to find ways to increase safety. Tianlin was deeply moved. Although his master was very strict with him, he was always looking out for his own good.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely be able to absorb this spirit ring successfully," Tianlin solemnly promised.

Summoning the Demon Sword, Tianlin slowly walked towards the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast. Just then, the beast, which had lost its will, suddenly raised its eyes and released a purple flame at Tianlin.

Tianlin quickly raised his demonic sword to defend, but he was still hit by the purple fire. His soul power was quickly sealed by the poisonous fire. It turned out that this guy had been pretending to be dead just now, just for this last bit of resistance.

"What powerful sealing force! My soul power has dropped by eight levels in one go!" Tianlin sensed his soul power and realized that he could only use about level twelve power now.

This is because his soul power is highly pure. If it were someone else, their soul power would probably be reduced to below level ten, and they might not even be able to use their soul ring skills.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you were careless. Remember, never think you've already won just because you have a slight advantage before your opponent is completely defeated. That can be fatal at crucial moments," Chen Xin admonished.

Tianlin nodded, admitting that he had been too careless just now; otherwise, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast would have had no chance to retaliate.

"I won't give you a second chance. First Soul Skill, Frost Condensation!" Tianlin unleashed his full power. As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible, and this intense cold energy is one of the nemesis of fire-type soul beasts like the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast.

In an instant, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast was frozen solid. Then, as the ice was shattered by the Heavenly Scale Sword Qi, the thousand-year-old soul beast died on the spot.

Seeing that their strategist had been killed, the gathered soul beasts lost their leader and scattered like birds and beasts.

Peace returned to the area, and Tianlin took the opportunity to walk to the corpse of the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast. He used his soul power to draw a purple soul ring over, saying, "Come on, my second soul ring!"

Chapter 35 The Comatose Tianlin: The Second Chapter of the Shushan Treasure Record

The purple halo appeared above Tianlin's head. Before he could react, the thousand-year soul ring contracted and enveloped his body, seemingly about to flatten him.

The domineering nature of a thousand-year soul ring is indeed far superior to that of a hundred-year soul ring. Tianlin felt as if he were in a sea of ​​fire, with both his body and soul being burned by the flames.

In an instant, his internal organs burned like fire, and his body felt so uncomfortable that it felt like it was about to explode. The Holy Breath Barrier took the initiative to protect its master and quickly repaired Tianlin's body.

"Xiao Tian, ​​fire-attribute spirit rings are inherently more domineering than ordinary ones. No matter how much the power of the spirit ring impacts your body, you must remain conscious. Remember, once you fall, you'll never get up again." Since advancing to the Title Douluo level, nothing has been able to move Chen Tu anymore.

But he couldn't help but worry about Tianlin, who was now at a critical juncture.

At this moment, Tianlin slowly began to get used to the burning of the flames. Because his first soul ring attribute was water, the Demon Sword, just like the Holy Spirit Pearl, automatically released cold air to protect its master, greatly reducing the temperature of the flames.

Tianlin has entered the realm of inner vision, and his spiritual sea is exceptionally stable, unable to be destroyed by any external flames, no matter how intense they are.

Seeing his disciple's expression gradually stabilize, Chen Xin finally felt relieved. The most dangerous moment had passed. That brat had really managed to absorb a thousand-year soul ring despite being above his level.

"Roar!"

But at that moment, Tianlin seemed to hear a roar. He turned around and saw that the golden eyes of the Purple Fire Golden-Eyed Beast had actually appeared in his spiritual world.

Then it released a beam of light that shot into his eyes.

"Ah!" Tianlin couldn't help but let out a roar, his body fell backward, and he fainted.

"Xiao Tian, ​​what's wrong?" Chen Xin was shocked. They had just succeeded, so why did Tian Lin suddenly faint? He didn't understand.

Perhaps Ning Fengzhi would know, but Chen Xin did not hesitate. He activated the Seven Kill Sword, used the third soul skill Sword Wings Flying, picked up Tianlin and rushed back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at top speed.

Three days later quickly passed.

Tianlin lay on his large bed in his room, while Ning Fengzhi and the two Guardian Douluos beside him looked anxious.

Ning Rongrong cried even harder, her face streaked with tears, "Brother Jian, please wake up and see Rongrong. I promise I'll never make you angry again."

"Rongrong, be good. Your brother Jian will be fine. He's just tired from cultivating and needs to sleep a few more days." Bone Douluo comforted Ning Rongrong, holding her in his arms, feeling sorry for his granddaughter.

"Fengzhi, you examined Xiaotian a few days ago and said that his body and soul were very healthy, but why hasn't he woken up yet? It's been three days." Chenxin was extremely anxious.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "I don't quite understand either. According to what you said, Uncle Jian, Tianlin had clearly already successfully absorbed the soul ring, but he suddenly fainted at this time. I have never seen such a situation before."

The reason Tianlin didn't wake up was because his soul was attacked inexplicably. However, this attack not only didn't harm him, but it also expanded his spiritual sea considerably.

For the past few days, his consciousness has remained within the sea of ​​his mind, sorting out the sudden surge in his spiritual power.

"Phew! Finally done." In his sea of ​​consciousness, Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why the eyes of the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast had suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, but the benefits he had gained were undoubtedly enormous.

Now that his mental energy has been sorted out, his mental sea is more stable than before. He feels that if he casts the Holy Breath Barrier now, the effect will definitely be stronger than before.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. His biggest gain this time was not the second spirit ring, nor the enhancement of his mental strength, but the fact that the Shushan Treasure Record in his mind had turned a page.

The second part of the Shushan Baolu, the Yuheng Baicao Jing, was written by Caogu, one of the Seven Sages of Shushan. It records various medicinal herbs, including those mentioned in the original text such as Qirong Tongtianju and Shuixian Yujigu. It not only notes the efficacy of the herbs but also provides methods for their preservation and consumption.

Furthermore, the alchemy section of the Hundred Herbs Classic records that if these immortal herbs are used as medicinal guides and combined with other herbs to refine immortal pills, some of them can exert effects exceeding those of the immortal herbs themselves.

As expected of a cultivation sect, Mount Shu's records and applications of immortal herbs are probably ten times more extensive than Tang San's Xuan Tian Bao Lu.

In this way, he wouldn't need to curry favor with Tang San, and could even sweep up all the herbs before Tang San and Dugu Bo met.

Of course, Tianlin's opinion of Tang San remained unchanged: he was not an enemy, and they could befriend each other, but there was no need for a deep friendship.

After all, they're planning to steal someone else's immortal herb; it doesn't make sense for them to be acting like brothers.

And so another day and night passed. Tianlin was completely immersed in studying the "Jade Balance Herbal Classic," forgetting the time and unaware that four people were guarding him day and night.

"Brother Jian, why aren't you awake yet?" Ning Rongrong asked, wiping Tianlin's face with a towel.

If the others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School saw this scene, they would be utterly astonished. When did their little devil become so well-behaved, even taking care of others?

Outside the door, Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Thanks to Xiaotian, Rongrong has really become much more sensible than before. Sigh, I hope Xiaotian wakes up soon."

As a father who dotes on his daughter, he simply couldn't bear to see her crying every day.

Moreover, he firmly believed that the future hope of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the future Guardian Douluo, would perish because of a small thousand-year soul ring.

"Brother Jian, let me tell you, Rongrong's soul power has also reached level fifteen. Although I'm not as powerful as you, Dad always praises me as the fastest support-type soul master in terms of cultivation speed. After you wake up, I'll become your exclusive support soul master, okay?" Ning Rongrong kept saying, hoping that her words could reach Tianlin's heart.

Perhaps it was a case of heaven rewarding those who persevere, for Tianlin within the sea of ​​his spirit truly heard someone calling him.

"That voice... it's Rongrong!"

"Damn it, I was so focused on studying the alchemy section of the Shushan Treasure Record that I forgot about my family and relatives outside who care about me!" Tianlin was immediately filled with regret.

There's no time when you can't learn medicine making, but at least you should make sure the people outside are safe first. You're being so selfish.

After thinking it over, Tianlin immediately brought his consciousness back to reality. He slowly opened his eyes and found Ning Rongrong gently wiping him. He smiled and said, "Rongrong, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry!"
