The manor.
Upon learning the effect of Mu Yuan’s first Spirit Ability, Du Busi offered a word of praise.
“The Eight-Armed Demon God is on the right track.”
At the very least, this first spirit ring had laid a perfect foundation for Mu Yuan’s conception of the Eight-Armed Demon God.
After contemplating for a moment, Du Busi looked at Mu Yuan.
“Demonstrate your first Spirit Ability.”
Mu Yuan nodded.
A bright yellow spirit ring appeared, flashing with dazzling radiance.
“First Spirit Ability, Vajra Demon Body!”
In an instant, black-gold power flowed through Mu Yuan’s body.
His physique seemed to expand, and faint black-gold patterns flickered beneath his skin.
What was strange was that on his arms, it wasn’t just black-gold patterns spreading; instead, black-gold power completely permeated outward, faintly condensing into another layer of energy form outside his arms.
Du Busi stepped forward, felt Mu Yuan all over, and nodded with satisfaction.
“It is a full-body amplification Spirit Ability.”
For an arm-type Spirit, the first Spirit Ability obtained could both amplify the arms and provide an overall enhancement to the entire body.
Such a Spirit Ability could be considered top-tier.
Elder Qi Lin scratched his head awkwardly from the side.
He really hadn’t thought of this point when they were in the Sunset Forest.
“Elder Qi Lin, given Mu Yuan’s situation, you can try using the secret medicine on him.
Remember, he must absorb the medicinal power while in the state of Vajra Demon Body, otherwise, it will affect his physical development.”
“Yes!” Elder Qi Lin said solemnly.
A look of anticipation appeared in Mu Yuan’s eyes.
The secret medicine was used by the Body Sect for body tempering.
It combined poisons and medicines to stimulate the flesh and unearth the body’s potential.
The toxicity of the poison wasn’t very strong, but it would erode every inch of the Spirit Master’s flesh.
Therefore, the Body Sect chose to use it as a primer, borrowing the erosive nature of the poison to guide the true medicinal power to every cell in the body.
At the same time, the erosion of the poison and the repair from the supplements could indeed enhance the medicinal effect by a layer.
Refined over generations, this secret medicine was basically harmless.
If there were any possible side effects, it would only be that using it too early might affect physical development.
Du Busi had only allowed him to use the secret medicine after carefully examining Mu Yuan’s Vajra Demon Body.
“Do not take the second soul ascension pill yet.
Break through to level twenty on your own first.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan was puzzled.
“Why?”
Wasn’t it better to level up as soon as possible?
Du Busi snorted and said, “I am going to get you something good.”
Seeing Mu Yuan still confused and about to ask, Elder Qi Lin pulled him, signaling him not to ask.
Mu Yuan had no choice but to dismiss the thought of getting to the bottom of it.
After Mu Yuan left, Elder Qi Lin looked at Du Busi and asked, “Sect Master, he is so young, can he use that?”
Du Busi waved his hand.
“Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion and won’t use the medicine recklessly.
When I return, if his digestion of the secret medicine goes smoothly, he will naturally be able to digest the medicinal power of the whale glue.”
“It won’t be a wasted trip.
Ao Tian also needs whale glue to strengthen his physique, and I plan to let him challenge the ten-thousand-year fourth ring again.”
Elder Qi Lin’s expression changed slightly.
Long Aotian, Du Busi’s disciple, had extraordinary talent and was very likely to become the young Sect Master of the Body Sect.
He had joined the Sect upon his Spirit awakening and had been cultivated by the Sect from the very beginning of his Spirit practice.
Now at nine years old, he was already a Spirit Grandmaster with twenty-eight levels of Soul Power; his cultivation speed was nothing short of astonishing.
Not only that, he had also accomplished the feat of a thousand-year second spirit ring.
Now Du Busi revealed that he was actually planning to let him challenge the ten-thousand-year fourth ring again!
Elder Qi Lin couldn’t help but gasp.
“Mu Yuan’s aptitude is also top-tier.
Although the arms are not considered important within the Body Sect, his path of the Eight-Armed Demon God is quite interesting.
Plus, since he has been cultivated by our Body Sect from a young age, we will do our best to help him, and his future achievements will not be low.”
For a Spirit Master with a Body Martial Soul, being able to join the Body Sect at the beginning of their cultivation was a very critical point.
Within the Sect, even for disciples whose Spirit-corresponding body parts were not important, as long as they received Sect cultivation from the start of their practice, all their spirit rings were limit spirit rings, and there were even instances of absorbing beyond their level.
Their final achievements were never low.
Even if their innate Soul Power was low, they could swim against the current, improving their aptitude with each additional spirit ring, and eventually defy fate to become a Spirit Saint or even a Spirit Douluo.
Unfortunately, there were too few Spirit Masters with Body Martial Souls, the Body Sect’s influence was limited, and recruiting members was difficult.
Most disciples in the Sect were actually discovered by Sect members only when they were already at levels thirty or forty.
…
Spring passed and autumn came; in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
After absorbing the Diamond Ape spirit ring, Mu Yuan’s Soul Power was close to level twelve.
After returning to Heaven Dou City and polishing it slightly, he broke through to level twelve.
Afterward, he began to use the Body Sect’s secret medicine under Elder Qi Lin’s supervision to temper his body.
Over the year, his Soul Power advanced by leaps and bounds, jumping from level twelve to level eighteen!
Six levels in a year, nearly one level every two months.
Such rapid momentum even made Elder Qi Lin a bit panicked, and he had to check Mu Yuan’s body every few days, fearing that something might go wrong.
Fortunately, Mu Yuan did not have any accidents.
On the contrary, he felt that his condition was better than ever.
For a Body Martial Soul, one should temper the body.
Mu Yuan could feel that it seemed like the overall improvement in his physical fitness had made up for his shortcomings, and the improvement of his arms was exceptionally smooth.
Each time he took the secret medicine, as his body was tempered and his arms were refined, his Soul Power cultivation also rose accordingly.
Especially since he used the Vajra Demonic power to digest the secret medicine; while the secret medicine tempered his body, every inch of flesh on his entire body became increasingly accustomed to this Vajra Demonic power.
“Ooh ah—”
After finishing absorbing the secret medicine again, Mu Yuan stretched.
The crackling sound was so pleasant to Mu Yuan’s ears.
“Xiao Yuan, tidy up.
We are going to the manor today.”
“Huh?”
“The Sect Master is back,” Elder Qi Lin said.
Mu Yuan’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t understood it at the time, but during this year of practice, he had gradually realized it, and he had a few guesses about the good things Du Busi had mentioned.
In any case, no matter what kind of good thing it was, he was looking forward to it.
After a quick wash, Mu Yuan headed straight to the manor with Elder Qi Lin.
“Whale glue!”
Seeing the dark yellow gelatinous substance in Du Busi’s hand, Mu Yuan couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
It really was whale glue!
And it looked very fresh.
“This wouldn’t be freshly dug out of a whale-type Spirit Beast’s brain, would it?”
This thought couldn’t help but pop into Mu Yuan’s mind.
It was at this moment that Du Busi spoke.
“This is whale glue, from a ten-thousand-year whale glue.
It is only one-third of the amount, but it should be enough for your current stage.”
Elder Qi Lin explained the function of whale glue to Mu Yuan from the side.
Mu Yuan had long known what whale glue was for, but he didn’t interrupt Elder Qi Lin and listened carefully.
“Whale glue can enhance a Spirit Master’s ability to withstand spirit rings.
Although this piece of whale glue is only one-third, it should be able to increase your endurance by nearly a thousand years.”
Du Busi nodded and said, “spirit ring absorption is gradual.
After taking this piece of whale glue, your second spirit ring can absorb a thousand-year spirit ring that others could only absorb as their third spirit ring.
You can aim for the range of 1,500 to 1,700 years.
Before you absorb your third spirit ring, I will go and hunt another fifty-thousand-year whale-type Spirit Beast.”
