Chapter 89: Scarlet Sun Golden Cup Flower, Third Spirit Ring
Soon, Lin Mo finished selecting the Immortal Herbs he wanted. Including the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew, he took a total of 3 stalks.
Off to the side, Dugu Bo looked at him with a hint of surprise.
He had already made it clear that Lin Mo could take as many as he wanted, yet Lin Mo had only chosen 3. That was somewhat unexpected.
After all, not everyone could keep a calm mind and bury their greed deep in their heart when faced with such enormous benefits.
Lin Mo patted the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse hanging at his waist and looked up at Dugu Bo.
"Senior, before we head back, I'd like to ask one more favor of you."
"What favor? Forget one, I'd do a hundred for you." Dugu Bo patted his chest and answered with great generosity.
"Haven't I already reached Rank 30? Since we're already in the Sunset Forest, I'd like to find my 3rd Spirit Ring while we're here." Lin Mo's voice carried a trace of excitement.
"That's simple. It's just a thousand-year Spirit Beast. Tell me, what are your requirements for your 3rd Spirit Ring?" Dugu Bo asked.
Lin Mo answered without hesitation, "A fire-attribute Spirit Ring. If it can come from a Dragon-type Spirit Beast, that would naturally be best. If not, that's fine too."
"As for the Spirit Ring's age, based on my own estimate, as long as it doesn't exceed 5,000 years, I should have no trouble absorbing it."
Hearing that, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Mo seriously.
"Lin Mo, are you sure?"
"For the vast majority of Spirit Masters, the limit for a 3rd Spirit Ring is only around 1,700 years. Even if there's some variation, it won't be too far off."
"Absorbing a Spirit Ring is no joke. You're talking about absorbing a 5,000-year Spirit Ring at the 3rd Spirit Ring stage. That's something a normal Spirit Master would only try at the 4th Spirit Ring stage."
"The risk isn't just a little high."
"You don't need to worry about that, Senior."
Lin Mo shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Because I have twin Spirits, and my second Spirit is a Body Martial Soul, the boost it gives my physical fitness is far greater than that of an ordinary Beast Spirit."
"So the limit I can bear is naturally much higher than that of a normal Spirit Master."
"On top of that, I've consumed a great deal of Whale Glue, which greatly improved my body. And after that, the 2 poisonous herbs I consumed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well further strengthened it."
"If you're still worried, Senior, you can check for yourself. As I said before, I never do anything I'm not confident in."
Lin Mo smiled and stretched out a hand.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo stopped hesitating. He raised his hand and grabbed Lin Mo's wrist.
He carefully examined Lin Mo's physical condition. The more he checked, the more shocked he became. After a short while, Dugu Bo let go of his hand with a rather strange expression.
"Whale Glue actually has that kind of effect? Isn't that stuff used as an aphrodisiac?" he asked in bewilderment.
Lin Mo scratched his head. "That effect is probably just a side effect. If consumed in large quantities, it's actually very beneficial to a Spirit Master's physical fitness."
"Especially for low-level Spirit Masters, the effect is even more obvious. It can noticeably raise the age limit of the first few Spirit Rings they can absorb."
"Of course, it's not some miracle cure either. If you take too much, you'll develop resistance. Sister Lingling and I have both already consumed a lot of it."
"She increased her limit by about 1,000 years. As for me, because of the special nature of my second Martial Soul, mine increased by about 2,000 years."
"That's good stuff, then."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together instinctively.
"I'll have to get some for Yanyan later. As long as it doesn't exceed the limit, the higher the Spirit Ring's age, the better."
Lin Mo just smiled and said nothing.
"Then let's go." Dugu Bo waved a hand. "Although the Sunset Forest can't compare to the Star Dou Great Forest, for you little fellows, the average quality of the Spirit Beasts here is still very high."
"Of course, if you're looking for a True Dragon Spirit Beast here, that's basically impossible. But if all you want is a fire-attribute Spirit Beast, there are plenty of options."
"Mm." Lin Mo nodded.
To him, it didn't really matter whether Charmeleon's 3rd Spirit Ring came from a Dragon-type Spirit Beast or not.
After all, the explanation he had given before for Charmander evolving into Charmeleon was merely something he had prepared to convince outsiders.
The truly special thing had never been the Spirit Ring, but Charmander itself.
After that, Lin Mo followed behind Dugu Bo and began searching through the Sunset Forest.
The Sunset Forest was rather special. Although the overall quality of the Spirit Beasts here was high, there were no hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts here, at least not for now.
Because of that, Dugu Bo's actions in the forest afterward could no longer be described as merely arrogant. Reckless was the more fitting word.
And perhaps because he wanted to test the changes in himself after his Martial Soul transformation, he deliberately refrained from using poison. Instead, he relied purely on frontal combat strength to clash head-on with the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts he intentionally lured over, eventually forcing them to retreat.
Judging from the increasingly smug smile on Dugu Bo's face, it was obvious he was extremely satisfied with his current state.
At the same time, from Dugu Bo's muttering, Lin Mo learned that he held a very deep grudge against a certain "Chrysanthemum Freak" and "sissy."
Once his cultivation and Martial Soul had both advanced, Dugu Bo was clearly starting to think about going to settle accounts with that person again.
Realizing that, Lin Mo could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.
At this point, Dugu Bo had already given away enough information that even if Lin Mo were slow, he would have guessed that the rival Dugu Bo kept talking about was Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan.
Still, when it came to the level of battles between Titled Douluos, Lin Mo felt it was better to stay as far away as possible for now.
He had no desire to get blown into the middle of that mess for no reason.
With a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo personally leading the search, the speed at which the two of them found a suitable Spirit Beast in the Sunset Forest was naturally countless times faster than if Lin Mo had been on his own.
On the 2nd day of their search, Lin Mo had already found a target Spirit Beast that perfectly fit his needs.
Or rather, a plant.
This plant-type Spirit Beast was not something from Lin Mo's own knowledge. Instead, it was Dugu Bo who introduced it to him.
It was a special plant-type Spirit Beast called the Scarlet Sun Golden Cup Flower.
Judging from the size of its corolla, its cultivation should be around 4,500 years. Even if the estimate was slightly off, its true age would definitely not exceed 5,000 years.
It was an extremely rare fire-attribute plant-type Spirit Beast, one of the same type as the blazing apricot tender branch.
