Chapter 78: Mastering the Cudgel Technique, Detecting the Vision!
Stone Monkey Sun Qi remained noncommittal about Dugu Bo's words.
Shouldn't this be expected?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had experienced a period of growth during Ning Fengzhi's reign, but they were also among the top three sects before that!
It's only that Ning Fengzhi's involvement in politics has allowed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect greater access within the Heaven Dou Empire, allowing for smoother trade.
They were also among the top three sects before that, and that's the key.
Let alone the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the wealthiest of the top three sects, even the Clear Sky Sect undoubtedly possesses over a dozen Soul Bones, ten-thousand-year Soul Bones at that.
Even if the chance of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast dropping a Soul Bone is low, the sect is overwhelmed by the number of Soul Masters who need ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. A ten-thousand-or-twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast might only have a few percent chance of dropping a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. What about a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast?
What about a seventy- or eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast?
In each generation of the Clear Sky Sect, how many disciples are qualified to hunt ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts? How many times has each person managed to hunt ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts? How many disciples can hunt fifty-thousand-year Soul Beasts? And how many will hunt seventy-thousand or eighty-thousand-year Soul Beasts?
It's safe to say that the answers are likely to be non-zero!
Among these demands, the probability of a Soul Bone being discovered seems normal.
If a Soul Bone is discovered in one generation of disciples, then over a hundred years, at least six or seven generations will have been replaced.
This doesn't even include Soul Bones acquired through other means.
This is true for the Clear Sky Sect, and even more so for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They truly accept and retain outside Soul Masters within their sect. They are the largest of the three upper sects, and the wealth they control is staggering, and the number of Soul Bones is even more astonishing.
"So, Senior, are you back to retrieve the treasures of heaven and earth?"
Dugu Bo said, "Sect Master Ning is truly admirable. He has already given me the two Soul Bones, and I cannot just take his treasures for nothing."
He snorted and stepped forward to pick the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd and Qiluo Tulip.
It is worth mentioning that in the collection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there are indeed descriptions of some immortal herbs, corresponding to some of the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd is included, but as for the Qiluo Tulip, there is no record.
Obviously, if Ning Fengzhi knew about the existence of the Qiluo Tulip, he would have searched all over the continent long ago.
Dugu Bo picked the two immortal herbs and left the valley again.
Stone Monkey Sun Qi continued to practice.
Xiao Sun was now almost close to the shore of the two springs, only ten meters away.
He used the power of ice and fire to temper his body again and again, while Stone Monkey Sun Qi enjoyed the effect of Xiao Sun's tempering. In this way, the man and the monkey quickly adapted to the environment of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
After another five days, Dugu Bo returned.
"You are quite honest; you didn't even take the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum privately."
Stone Monkey Sun Qi rolled his eyes.
"You'd definitely be unhappy if I took it without permission."
Dugu Bo stepped forward, plucked the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and looked at Stone Monkey Sun Qi and Xiao Sun.
"Who's going to take it?"
"I'll do it," Stone Monkey Sun Qi said. "Xiao Sun, refine it with me."
Xiao Sun cried out, transforming into a ray of light and merging into Stone Monkey Sun Qi's body.
Stone Monkey Sun Qi's Soul Power fluctuations instantly became intense.
Dugu Bo's pupils shrank upon seeing this.
He immediately understood the two's current state.
"This isn't possession; this is amplification from thin air. Sun Qi's Soul Power is down a bit, but it's one level stronger!"
What kind of fusion could possibly match such an improvement?
Spirit Fusion Technique!
Perhaps this is the greatest advantage of an Out-of-Body Spirit.
"Hmph, you two are lucky! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has records of the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. When taking it, eat the pistil first, then the petals. Remember, don't eat the rhizome," Dugu Bo said. "If you had taken it privately, you'd probably have become effeminate by now."
Stone Monkey Sun Qi blinked.
He followed Dugu Bo's instructions, swallowing the pistil first, then the petals.
After consuming these, he reinserted the rhizome into its original position.
The overwhelming medicinal power surged through his limbs and bones.
"What a powerful effect!"
Stone Monkey Sun Qi had used whale glue before, but it was too mild, not as potent as the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
This powerful Soul Power surged through his body, spreading through all the meridians in a matter of moments. Every limb and bone was filled with a powerful force.
This powerful force surged through his body, widening his meridians and connecting some hidden ones, bringing comfort to Stone Monkey Sun Qi.
The Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, when eaten, can circulate Qi to the limbs, circulate blood through the eight meridians, and cultivate an indestructible body!
A large amount of impurities precipitated from Stone Monkey Sun Qi's body surface, and wisps of golden light began to radiate from his skin. It seemed that some special power was transforming his body under his skin.
Dugu Bo watched the whole process and recorded it all.
Time passed, and after about three hours, Stone Monkey Sun Qi's Soul Power began to decline, and the time for the pseudo-Spirit Fusion Technique was over.
At the same time, the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his body was also completely digested by him.
He stood up and circulated his Soul Power, and an iron rod appeared in his hand.
Even without entering the state of pseudo-Spirit Fusion Technique, his strength was more than enough to wield the iron rod. The iron rod that was heavy for him before was now wielded by him with great speed.
He enjoyed it very much and used the cudgel technique for several minutes entirely with his physical strength.
"Huh, comfortable!"
He weighed the iron rod in his hand, figuring he could upgrade it later. The weight was fine for him now, but it certainly wouldn't be enough in the future.
"Woooooooooooooooooooo!"
Xiao Sun leaped out of Stone Monkey Sun Qi's body, snatched the rod, and began wielding it as well.
Unlike Stone Monkey Sun Qi, who practiced pure cudgel-wielding, applying some of his previous techniques, Xiao Sun continued to refine his previous stick-penetration techniques.
He seamlessly integrated fast and slow cudgel techniques, light and heavy cudgel techniques. In the intervals between the simple fluctuations of Soul Power, when the light and heavy sticks were detected, an intense golden light emanated from his body, accompanied by the fluctuations of Soul Power.
"This is—"
Dugu Bo's pupils constricted at the sight.
His mind quickly recalled the scene of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan unleashing his Spirit skill.
A golden light enveloped Xiao Sun, forming a larger shadow that spread outward.
"Ming~~~"
Xiao Sun put away the iron rod, looking relieved.
"Finally succeeded."
He turned his head to look at Stone Monkey Sun Qi and shouted twice in succession.
"Yeah, it's finally developed," Stone Monkey Sun Qi was also very excited.
With this move, his role in the battle can be more direct.
Without seeing through it, he could only dodge on the side, attacking when the enemy attacked, and worry about getting hurt.
With seeing through it, he can directly use offense as defense.
As long as the rhythm of the cudgel technique is mastered, he can keep attacking without having to worry about the enemy's attack.
"Was that the Soul skill you created just now?" Dugu Bo looked at the man and the monkey and knew that the movement just now, which was similar to the Soul skill used by Chrysanthemum Douluo, was Xiao Sun's self-created Soul skill, and he was very surprised.
"It is also thanks to the Senior's Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum," Stone Monkey Sun Qi said with a smile.
