Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

All increases are calculated based on Bibi Dong's condition before she took the elixir; her total increase was 19%, less than 20%.

Because it was a divine medicine, although it mainly improved physical constitution, Bibi Dong's soul power and potential were also improved, but this improvement was not yet apparent.

Time quickly came to the day when Ning Xingchen would give Dugu Bo and the others the celestial-grade medicinal herbs.

This time, Ning Xingchen chose two celestial medicinal herbs, Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, as well as a relatively rare and highly poisonous medicinal herb as the main ingredients to refine the pill.

Ning Ruoxuan and Ning Shuyi took pills made primarily from eight-petaled fairy orchids.

Ning Qingshan and Zhao Ziyun used the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum as the main ingredient in the elixir they refined.

Only Dugu Bo consumed the rare and highly poisonous herb, the Snake Fruit, which he obtained in the Valley of the Medicine God.

Although it's not a celestial-grade herb, it's the most suitable medicinal material for Dugu Bo, and its effects on him may even be better than those of ordinary celestial-grade herbs.

After consuming it, Dugu Bo's martial soul evolved ahead of schedule, directly evolving from the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King to the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. The potent poison in the Serpent Fruit further enhanced the toxicity of Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison.

Within a day of taking the medicine, all five of them completed their breakthroughs and reached level 90.

"We thank you, young master. We will be loyal to you and the sect for the rest of our lives, and we are willing to give everything for you and the sect."

Inside the courtyard, the five people spoke at the same time, saying that Ning Xingchen was like a second life to them, and breaking through to the Title Douluo level was the ultimate dream of most Soul Masters.

Of the five, they had basically given up, thinking they had no hope of reaching this level in their lifetime. Who knew that Ning Xingchen would improve them in such a short time.

"Alright, get up, everyone. Now that you've all broken through, let's prepare together to find your spirit rings."

"Young Master, are we going to Sunset Forest?" Ning Ruoxuan asked.

Ning Xingchen said, "There are too few high-age spirit beasts in Sunset Forest. This time, let's go to Star Dou Great Forest together. Don't be picky, just choose the spirit ring that is most suitable for you."

The Star Dou Great Forest is indeed the best choice. The five people have different attributes, so it's best to choose a higher age and more suitable soul ring.

Of course, the main purpose is to take Bibi Dong to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a spirit ring.

According to Bibi Dong, they had already discovered a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Death Spider King, in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Bibi Dong's martial soul was the Death Spider King.

The Death Spider King is the perfect match for the Death Spider King, and Bibi Dong also knows about the existence of many spider-type soul beasts, so she can basically determine where the soul beast she wants is.

This is the foundation of the Spirit Hall; they have general information about the distribution of spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon hearing that they were going to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the best spirit rings, the five were naturally even more satisfied.

"Young Master, when shall we depart?" asked Zhao Ziyun, the youngest of the five.

This Zhao Ziyun looks very young, around thirty years old, but he is actually fifty-five years old.

When Ning Xingchen wanted to cultivate more Title Douluos, he immediately thought of him.

At the age of fifty-five, Zhao Ziyun already possessed a soul power of level eighty-seven.

His martial soul is the Dragon's Bright Silver Spear, which has some similarities to the Serpent Spear Douluo's Serpent Spear. The Dragon's Bright Silver Spear can transform into a giant silver dragon.

If his cultivation progress continues at this pace, getting a title in the future shouldn't be a problem.

However, Ning Xingchen did not see this character in the novel. At this rate of growth, he should have already been granted a title by the time the novel's plot began.

After all, Zhao Ziyun didn't have any serious injuries, so there's only one reason: Zhao Ziyun may have already sacrificed himself before the story even began.

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School faced a calamity that year, which was changed by Ning Xingchen's appearance. More than nine years later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also faced a calamity during the Martial Soul Tournament.

In the theater, on that occasion when Ning Fengzhi led the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the Spirit Hall, only a few of them survived.

If he were to become a Title Douluo in the novel's plot, he would likely appear in the story.

Since it wasn't mentioned, it's possible that it had already perished before the story even began.

Even the most brilliant people will disappear into the river of time once they fall from grace, and no one will remember them.

Of course, Ning Xingchen immediately thought he was a good person, with a bit of a Three Kingdoms sentiment in his heart.

Therefore, Ning Xingchen immediately chose to cultivate him. He was worth cultivating and had the potential to become a pillar of the sect like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo in the future.

Among Ning Fan, Xu Ning, and the other five people present, Zhao Ziyun is the most promising and the only one who is expected to reach level 96 in the future.

Of course, the other six people also have a chance, since Ning Xingchen gave them all immortal-grade products, but whether they can actually achieve that is still unknown.

"Get ready, we'll be leaving in two days," Ning Xingchen said, setting a date.

This time, he planned to bring these five people along, along with Bibi Dong.

After arriving, first find spirit rings for the five people. After the five people reach the title of Douluo, then go and deal with the 100,000-year-old Death Spider King that Bibi Dong mentioned.

With five Title Douluo and himself, they could even encounter them at the Lake of Life. However, according to Ning Xingchen's own analysis of the Douluo timeline, Xiao Wu had not yet taken human form at this time.

Going to the Lake of Life is not a wise move, but he will go there sooner or later.

After the five people advanced, they were allowed two days to leave the courtyard to prepare, as Ning Xingchen had requested.

Previously, Ning Xingchen's requirement for the five people was that they should not leave until they reached level 90.

After they left, the group felt as if the past few months had been a dream. In less than a year, they had leveled up from level 86 or even 87 to level 90.

The key is that there are no side effects after the upgrade, and it is extremely stable. Especially this last time, they not only had an increase in soul power, but they also felt that their cultivation speed was faster than before.

……

Two months later, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bibi Dong sat cross-legged, surrounded by three black spirit rings.

This means that Bibi Dong's third spirit ring has been revealed outside her body, indicating that she has successfully absorbed her third spirit ring.

Fifty days ago, they entered the Star Dou Great Forest. On the ninth day after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong hunted down a 60,000-year-old soul beast and obtained its soul ring.

He then found a 70,000-year-old spirit ring, which became his second spirit ring as the Soul Devouring Spider King, and now it is Bibi Dong's third spirit ring.

The 80,000-year-old Purple Winged Spider King was originally Bibi Dong's sixth soul skill's soul ring, but with Ning Xingchen's butterfly flapping its wings, it became Bibi Dong's third soul skill.

Does it have an external soul bone?

At that moment, the spirit ring appeared, and indeed, an external spirit bone appeared.

"External, external soul bone?" Ning Ruoxuan, who was standing around, was the first to speak.

"I've seen it in books; it's called an external soul bone."

"That's right, that's right!"

Ning Xingchen said, "Sister Dong, don't worry about absorbing the soul bone."

With Ning Xingchen's words, Bibi Dong felt much more at ease and focused wholeheartedly on absorbing the external soul bone.

The six-winged purple light wings were an external soul bone born from the Purple Winged Spider King.

Bibi Dong truly lives up to her reputation as the biggest villain in the Douluo Continent novel; she still possesses the luck of a villain.

However, Ning Xingchen waited for ten days, which is much longer than an 80,000-year-old external soul bone.

The six purple wings were clearly visible to everyone.

Bibi Dong's six-winged purple light wings were constantly changing, and even after being absorbed, the external soul bone was still growing.

The six-winged purple light wings, which had been around for a little over 80,000 years, suddenly soared to over 90,000 years.

It turns out that Bibi Dong's external soul bone evolution and enhancement method is the same as his, which can use soul power to nourish and increase the lifespan.

The reason Bibi Dong needed to use soul power to nourish her soul bones was because there was too much accumulated in her body, which would be detrimental to her absorption of the 100,000-year soul ring later.

They had to use their previous accumulation to increase the age of the external soul bone.

In just ten days, Bibi Dong managed to raise the six-winged purple light wings to their limit of 99,999 years, but raising them to 100,000 years would not be so easy.

Therefore, Bibi Dong also ended the upgrade of the external soul bone, the six-winged purple light wings.

It's better to use this accumulation to improve your soul bone than to waste it. In fact, using this accumulation to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul bone could be life-threatening.

Although this way, one's soul power will increase less during the absorption of 100,000 years of energy, it will at least ensure the safety of one's life.

After absorbing three spirit rings, Bibi Dong's body underwent three enhancements. In addition, with the absorption of the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, an external spirit bone, Bibi Dong had no problem absorbing a 100,000-year spirit bone, and it was even more than enough.

In the following time, Ning Xingchen began to search for soul rings for the other five people.

The first one was Ning Ruoxuan, who found a 90,000-year-old golden-winged eagle and successfully reached the peak of level 91 in soul power. After all, the medicinal effects of the elixir refined with immortal grade still remained.

Some of the energy wasn't fully used up when I upgraded from level 89 to level 90.

Next up were Ning Shuyi and Ning Qingshan. The two found a soul ring that was nearly 90,000 years old. Although it was not over 90,000 years old, it was extremely suitable for them.

Next was Dugu Bo, who found a 90,000-year-old Mandragora Serpent King. After absorbing it, Dugu Bo's soul power successfully reached the peak of level 91.

Finally, it was Zhao Ziyun's turn. His martial soul was the Dragon's Bright Silver Spear, so his target was a sub-dragon type soul beast. Of course, a true dragon type soul beast would be best, but there were very few true dragons in this Star Dou Great Forest.

Even if they did, it wouldn't be something Ning Xingchen and his group could handle right now.

So after searching for a month, they successfully found a silver-armored earth dragon that was about 90,000 years old.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Zhao Ziyun was extremely lucky; a spirit bone actually broke out from the 90,000-year-old silver-armored earth dragon.

The probability of a soul beast producing a soul bone is very low, but this probability will increase as the age of the soul beast increases, after all, it is a soul beast of about 90,000 years.

The probability of it producing a soul bone is much higher than that of a soul beast of a lower age.

Moreover, Zhao Ziyun only obtained a piece of torso bone.

After using it, one can become like the bone on Bone Douluo's body, wearing a suit of silver armor that greatly enhances their defensive capabilities.

The silver armor doesn't look heavy; it not only has extremely strong defense but is also very light and doesn't affect the user's speed at all.

The silver armor suits Zhao Ziyun perfectly.

After absorbing the soul bone and with the effects of the pills made from the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Zhao Ziyun's soul power directly increased to level ninety-two.

If Zhao Ziyun and the others hadn't used pills that were only one-seventh of the celestial grade, his soul power could have increased even more.

Despite having many rare and precious items, Ning Xingchen still prioritized thrift.

Although it was only one-seventh of the original ingredient, Ning Xingchen added other ancient medicinal herbs. Even though he only used one-seventh of a celestial-grade herb, the medicinal effect of the pill he refined was equivalent to half the effect of the one Tang San obtained by collecting and eating raw.

The medicine is effective enough for them; it's not too late to reward them if they perform meritorious service in the future.

Bibi Dong had previously heard Ning Xingchen say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was far more powerful than this, and now it seems to be true, as it has gained five Title Douluos in less than a year.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Zhao Ziyun withdrew his Soul Bone skill.

"Thank you, young master, thank you everyone," Zhao Ziyun said gratefully.

Ning Xingchen nodded and said, "That's right. Your Dragon's Bright Silver Spear is a mutated martial soul. You should have a place in the ranking of offensive weapon martial souls. As for where you rank, that depends on your efforts."
