Not long after, Xiao Tian naturally obtained a good amount of fresh blood from Da Ming and Er Ming, and had it sent to the Medicine Hall.
Er Ming spoke with a hint of resentment, "Xiao Tian, why do you only make the two of us bleed? Even if you drain us dry, I'm afraid you won't be able to make many potions and elixirs, right?"
Xiao Tian glanced at Er Ming and said, "Enough. After all, I'm the only one condensing the Blood Qi spirit ring right now, so it shouldn't require many potions and elixirs. There might even be quite a bit left over. Or are you saying you'd be willing to let me ask Ah Yin and Xiao Wu to bleed?"
Er Ming chuckled, "Hehe, that's not what I meant."
Er Ming was just complaining. They were two grown men; a little blood was nothing. They were strong and healthy, with plenty of blood!
Such matters should be left to them, the men. There was no need for Xiao Wu or Ah Yin.
Moreover, if Xiao Tian could really successfully condense a Blood Qi spirit ring, that would also be a good thing for them.
As long as there are elixirs, then regardless of the bloodline's quality, it should be possible to condense a Blood Qi spirit ring. It's just that if the bloodline is weaker, more potions and elixirs will be needed, and the spirit ring's initial cultivation year might be lower. But none of that matters, as the Blood Qi spirit ring can advance with the Spirit Master, as long as there is enough bloodline power.
Da Ming and Er Ming felt that this was even better than the spirit rings condensed by Spirit Beasts who had transformed into human form. After all, the spirit rings condensed by Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, except for the sixth innate spirit ring which could be raised to 100,000 years, all had fixed cultivation years.
Meanwhile, after Ning Rongrong was pulled away by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, she found it truly difficult to resist the tickle attack launched by the two of them together. In the end, she reluctantly revealed the truth about her relationship with Xiao Tian in one sentence.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong quickly buried her face in the quilt, like an ostrich, trying to avoid what might happen next.
However, Xiao Wu learned from Ning Rongrong that their conversation had actually been overheard by Xiao Tian. Even though she was usually lively and bold, a blush couldn't help but spread across her pretty face.
She clearly remembered that she seemed to have secretly glanced at Xiao Tian at that time. However, Xiao Tian had a poker face, showing no expression. She had originally thought their voices were low enough that Xiao Tian surely hadn't heard anything.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was still innocent, seemed a bit flustered at the moment, not knowing where to look, and her hands kept rubbing the hem of her clothes.
After Ning Rongrong was "jointly interrogated" by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, with her intelligence, she quickly noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's expression was not quite right.
A sudden idea sparked in her mind—she wanted to get revenge! Ning Rongrong instantly approached Zhu Zhuqing with an imposing aura, a mischievous smile on her lips, and said, "Zhuqing... tell me, do you also like Xiao Tian?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly thought, "Ah? Oh no! She's coming for me!"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned by Ning Rongrong's words, and when she thought of Xiao Tian comforting her, a look of guilt involuntarily appeared on her face.
As Ning Rongrong advanced, she retreated, her face full of panic.
It wasn't until she was forced into a corner and Ning Rongrong's face gradually drew closer that she turned her head away, not daring to meet Ning Rongrong's gaze.
Her strength was clearly stronger than Ning Rongrong's, but due to her guilt, she felt that Ning Rongrong's aura at this moment was so powerful that it ruthlessly crushed her.
Her little heart thumped incessantly, as if it were about to jump into her throat.
She had originally thought she had hidden it well, after all, Xiao Tian already had Xiao Wu and Rongrong. As their good sister, she couldn't possibly interfere. However, she hadn't expected Rongrong to be so bold as to directly bring up this matter.
"Rong, Rongrong, what are you talking about? How could I like Xiao Tian?" Zhu Zhuqing tried to retort, but Ning Rongrong forcibly turned her face with her hand, making her meet her eyes. After that, her voice grew softer and softer. If Ning Rongrong weren't a Spirit Master, she probably wouldn't even be able to hear her words.
"Oh? Zhuqing, you're feeling guilty!" Ning Rongrong showed a mischievous smile like a little devil, thinking, 'That's what you get for teaming up with Xiao Wu to tickle me just now, hehe.'
Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow at Xiao Wu, as if to say, 'The rest is up to you.'
In fact, she and Xiao Wu had already noticed Zhu Zhuqing's unusual expression when Xiao Tian comforted Zhu Zhuqing that time.
Sometimes, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze at Xiao Tian was practically dripping with affection.
As three sisters, the two of them had always paid the most attention to Zhuqing.
Given Xiao Tian's personal charm, they truly didn't believe that Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't be moved.
Sure enough, a little probing now had exposed Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts.
"I..." Zhu Zhuqing wanted to say something in rebuttal, but the words wouldn't come out. Her watery big eyes looked at the two of them with a hint of innocence, she pouted, and said nothing, this was her last stubbornness.
Xiao Wu slowly came before Zhu Zhuqing, and then, she very gently took Zhu Zhuqing's hand into her own.
Then, Xiao Wu spoke in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Zhuqing, the two of us can clearly sense that you have a deep affection for Brother, and Brother feels the same way about you. However, Brother can be a bit slow at times, and he's also incredibly busy with matters concerning all of us, so he probably finds it hard to set aside a lot of time to properly express his feelings to you.
If you truly like him, then I think it's best for you to take the initiative. I know my brother best; as long as you take the initiative, he will definitely not refuse you!"
Ning Rongrong let out a clear, tinkling laugh from the side: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Tian can't be considered slow; he's just a bit of a closet pervert! A slow person wouldn't notice others' affection for them, but Xiao Tian already has the two of us, and he even took the time to actively pursue me. If he can't see Zhuqing's feelings for him, then I'll write Ning Rongrong's name backward!"
Xiao Tian: ...It seems I didn't make you call me 'Daddy' enough yesterday!
"But... but..." Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them, still harboring some concerns in her heart.
No woman would willingly share her man with others, especially those with outstanding talent.
Having grown up in such an environment, her inner resistance to polygamy was not that strong. However, empresses were usually the most powerful in the harem, and other women were often merely tools for the emperor to achieve certain goals.
Ning Rongrong looked at her with a smile, "Zhuqing, don't you know what kind of person Xiao Tian is? What exactly are you worried about?"
Xiao Wu nodded slightly, gazing at Zhu Zhuqing and saying, "Zhuqing, you absolutely don't need to worry about the two of us. After accepting Rongrong, I already mentally prepared myself and her to allow him to have six or seven, but no more than that. When there are no longer any threats later, each of us should at least have one day to spend alone with Brother, right?"
When Xiao Wu said these words, she had no idea that in the future, they would also have a day of sleeping together.
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing, noticing a hint of wavering on her face, but she was still hesitant. So, Ning Rongrong decided to administer another strong dose: "Or are you planning to marry someone else in the future? Even if you're willing, I'm afraid Xiao Tian wouldn't be."
"No, how could I marry anyone else? Besides Xiao Tian, I—" Zhu Zhuqing hadn't finished her sentence when she saw Ning Rongrong looking at her with a mischievous smile. She immediately thought, 'Oh no, I've been tricked!'
"Ah, Rongrong, you're so mean!" Zhu Zhuqing's face gradually turned red, her voice a soft, gentle whine, sounding very sweet. Then, she directly tickled Ning Rongrong's waist.
"Ah ha ha ha, ha ha ha, stop, stop tickling me, Zhu, Zhuqing, I was wrong! Ha ha ha."
After a joyful frolic, Xiao Wu turned to Ning Rongrong and asked, "Rongrong, now that you've successfully absorbed that skull, has your spirit power reached Level 50? Do you know when Brother will help you obtain your fifth spirit ring?"
Xiao Wu knew clearly that they might have concerns due to her identity as a Spirit Beast, so she needed to bring up this matter herself.
Only when their group became strong enough would they have the ability to change the current situation.
Moreover, she couldn't be too narrow-minded. By Xiao Tian's side, she had learned many things. She understood that the conflict between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts could not be completely reconciled; all they could do was reduce the degree of conflict and divide it.
What she hoped for was to keep the two forces of Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts in a relatively balanced state, instead of the current situation where Spirit Beasts were always at a disadvantage.
If this continued, the number of Spirit Beasts would drastically decrease in no time.
However, unexpectedly, Ning Rongrong chuckled, then took out the god-bestowed spirit ringXiao Tian had given her, and said, "This is the god-bestowed spirit ringXiao Tian gave me. After absorbing it, I can condense a spirit ring that matches my desires, and the spirit ring's cultivation year is determined by how long I persist. The longer I persist, the higher my spirit ring's cultivation year will be."
Ning Rongrong had already decided on her desired fifth spirit ring: a mental force amplification! This would not only be extremely useful for herself but also for her companions.
People used to say that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support couldn't be applied to oneself, but this statement wasn't entirely accurate.
It should be said that the inherent attributes of auxiliary Spirit Masters themselves are relatively weak. Even if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile PagodaSpirit's amplification effect is powerful, its amplification effect on their own attributes is not particularly significant.
For example, an agility-attack systemSpirit Master's base speed is 100. With the enhancement of one of their own Spirit Abilities, it can reach 200. Then, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's assistance, it can reach 300, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement for an agility-attack systemSpirit Master.
But what about those who possess the Nine (Seven) Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit?
Their own speed is only 5. Even if they advance to the Titled Douluo level in the future, the amplification would only be 100%, so 5 would become 10.
Compared to others, it's quite laughable, even negligible.
But mental force amplification is completely different. She has the mental force cultivation method given by Xiao Tian, as well as methods for applying mental force. mental force amplification will definitely be of immense help to her.
Moreover, Xiao Tian also greatly needs mental attribute amplification, but her worries are not small either.
With Xiao Tian's formidable strength, if she were to amplify him, she probably wouldn't last even a minute, perhaps not even thirty seconds, and then she would be completely drained, right?
Although the two of them were surprised that Xiao Tian possessed such a divine item, they were already used to it. However, even for Xiao Tian, god-bestowed spirit rings probably weren't abundant.
Xiao Tian: That depends on the target group. If it's for the Sect, then there are quite a few; but if it's for the entire Spirit Master's world, then it's far from enough, and too wasteful.
Of course, letting the people around him absorb god-bestowed spirit rings, even if that person isn't a Spirit Douluo, doesn't matter. He can afford to waste a few god-bestowed spirit rings.
Then, Ning Rongrong turned her gaze to Zhu Zhuqing: "Oh right, Zhuqing, after the Soul Master Competition ended, didn't Xiao Tian also give you a Spirit Bone? Did you absorb it last night?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "Not yet." As she spoke, she took out the Swift Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg Bone, which was a Spirit Bone of around 30,000 years.
And Xiao Tian also had a Burst Incineration Flame Right Arm Bone, also 30,000 years old.
From this, it could be seen that Bibi Dong was still very biased towards Hu Liena; the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull was as old as 60,000 to 70,000 years.
"That's perfect, the two of you absorb them now, I'll guard you," Xiao Wu said, patting her small chest.
After Zhuqing absorbs this Spirit Bone, her spirit power will also reach Level 50. Then, she can go find Xiao Tian to absorb a god-bestowed spirit ring.
After absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring, they can enter the mysterious space for cultivation tomorrow!
At the same time, Xiao Wu was also cheering herself on. It seemed she also needed to redouble her efforts in cultivation, as she hadn't reached maturity yet and couldn't absorb Spirit Bones to increase her spirit power.
This caused her spirit power to fall behind significantly. She was only at Level 50 spirit power now, and it would still be a while until Level 51 spirit power.
After some time, Ning Rongrong successfully condensed her fifth spirit ring. It was exactly the mental amplification she had envisioned, and the spirit ring's cultivation year was 20,000 years, just like Xiao Wu's fifth spirit ring.
