At this moment, Yang Xiong had two items placed before him, including a Jade Box and a Lead Box.
According to Lin Gong, to be able to absorb a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, his Martial Soul would need to evolve again, or his physical fitness would need to significantly improve again.
Yang Xiong opened the Jade Box. Inside was a huge chrysanthemum, a magnificent purple color. Every petal of the chrysanthemum looked fluffy and exceptionally lovely. The entire chrysanthemum was a single entity, yet no fragrance overflowed. The central stamen was half a foot taller than the petals, and the tip of the stamen shone with a faint Gold radiance.
This was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and among all the Immortal Herbs, it was Yang Xiong's favorite.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is a top-grade Immortal Herb, capable of circulating energy through the limbs, clearing the eight Meridians, and forging an indestructible body.
Among all the Immortal Herbs, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was the best match for the Body Martial Soul.
Previously, he hadn't used it mainly because he had consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Now, six full years had passed since the Ice Fire Body Tempering, so there should be no more rejection between the Immortal Herbs.
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate. He directly consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Stamen, then quickly ate all the petals.
After swallowing all the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum petals, a special energy seemed to surge rapidly throughout his body. This energy seemed to have a certain Gold attribute, quickly impacting every piece of skin and every bone.
Even his Meridians seemed to be impacted, becoming incredibly thick.
Under the effect of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's medicinal power, his entire body seemed to swell slightly, and his limbs increased in size by a full circle.
Especially his bones, under the effect of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's medicinal power, all his bones seemed to start crackling. Gold energy began to surge into every bone, even every bit of bone marrow.
Compared to the pain of previous body tempering, consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum this time felt incredibly comfortable throughout his body, as if it had the effect of cleansing the Meridians and marrow.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiong felt the medicinal effect was completely absorbed. Yang Xiong only felt incredibly clear throughout his body, filled with Strength, especially his entire network of Meridians, which were completely cleared after consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum this time.
And when Yang Xiong summoned his Martial Soul, his entire body was still blood-red, but the white demonic patterns on his body had actually changed, turning into golden lines.
If he had looked somewhat eerie before, now he appeared even more fierce and domineering, especially exuding an extremely overbearing aura.
After absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yang Xiong didn't hesitate and directly took out the head Soul Bone from the Lead Box.
Originally, according to Yang Xiong's plan, he only had 6 Soul Bone slots on his body, and in the future, he would absorb at least 100,000-year-level Soul Bones, or even those with higher years.
But now, Yang Xiong thought carefully. He probably wouldn't encounter so many 100,000-year Soul Beasts, so it was better to absorb the head bone in advance.
One must know that this 85,000-Year Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone was already considered a top-grade Soul Bone, far stronger than the head Soul Bone from the Soul Master Competition, and even stronger than the inherited Soul Bones of the Upper Three Sects.
Moreover, this Soul Bone was an extremely rare life-attribute head Soul Bone, which was an excellent match for the Body Martial Soul.
When Yang Xiong finished absorbing the head Soul Bone, he instantly felt his eyes become incredibly clear, as if he could see through everything in the world. Even the slightest changes could not escape his sight.
Yang Xiong felt that at this moment, his spiritual power should have truly reached the Titled Douluo level. With this head Soul Bone, he would definitely be able to withstand the spiritual impact of a 100,000-year Soul Beast.
This absorption of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the head Soul Bone took a full five days, but Yang Xiong felt that both his body and spiritual power had undergone a transformation during these five days.
When Yang Xiong followed Lin Gong back to Cloud Mist Mountain, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain had changed dramatically.
The Four Great Clans were stationed in the four directions of Cloud Mist Mountain. Many buildings had been added to the entire Cloud Mist Mountain, especially under the construction of the Defense Clan, many defensive facilities were added.
And Yang Xiong could feel from afar that the Body Academy was exceptionally prosperous. Not only were there many disciples from each family, but many people were desperately training their bodies.
When Yang Xiong arrived at the main hall, everyone was extremely surprised.
Yang Wudi looked a little awkward: "Sect Leader, you're finally back. I didn't expect you to be gone for three years. It seems your improvement over these three years has been quite good."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Elders, I've been cultivating outside for these three years. You've worked hard."
Yang Wudi was the first to speak, "It's not that hard. These past few years, I've been refining medicine and cultivating. Life on Cloud Mist Mountain is much better than it was in the Breaking Clan."
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior Yang, you're being too polite. Since we are all members of the Body Sect, I will consider the future of everyone's families and prospects."
...
Next, the others introduced the situations of their respective families, including the development of the Sect.
The entire Body Sect was thriving. Not only were the disciples improving rapidly, but the strength of the elders and loyal members within the Sect had also increased significantly.
Currently, Lin Gong and Dragon Duke had reached level 91, Yang Wudi was level 86, Niu Gao was level 88, and Bai He was level 85.
Besides the disciples from the Four Great Clans, Body Academy also had a small number of disciples with Body Martial Souls, plus some commoner students absorbed from outside. The entire Body Academy had over 300 people, which was definitely enough to establish itself among the Advanced Soul Master Academies.
However, Body Academy was different from other academies. Body Academy integrated Junior Soul Master Academy, Intermediate Soul Master School, and Advanced Soul Master Academy, and all students focused heavily on physical training from a young age.
The several elders also strongly agreed with Yang Xiong's cultivation idea of physical training, even somewhat advocating it. Isn't it the best thing for their own children to grow rapidly?
Of course, everyone also discussed the Sect's livelihood. With the strong support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the medicinal herbs of the Breaking Clan had spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and even the selling prices had increased significantly.
Since having the Aromatic Silk Beauty, the quality of the Breaking Clan's medicinal refining had become higher and higher, and they had even refined more advanced medicines, resulting in a very substantial income.
Half of the Defense Clan members were engaged in construction in cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while the other half were mainly focused on building Cloud Mist Mountain.
After three years of various constructions, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain had been built like a fortress. Ordinary people probably couldn't even enter the mountain.
The advantages of the Agility Clan were also very obvious. Not only were spies arranged within several hundred miles around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Cloud Mist Mountain, but they had even re-established a set of information transmission plans. Any unusual movement within several hundred miles could be received immediately, like a complete information network.
The focus of Dragon Duke and the others was on education. Body Academy seemed to be built very well.
Yang Wudi's nose seemed to be very sensitive, as he actually smelled Yang Xiong's aura.
"Sect Leader, why do I feel that besides the killing aura from Slaughter City, you also have some kind of special fragrance on you? It feels a bit familiar."
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior Yang, what is your nose made of? How is it so sensitive?"
Yang Wudi rubbed his nose, "Old Goat, I've been refining medicine my whole life, so I'm only a little familiar with medicinal herbs."
"Your aura seems a bit similar to Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo. Could it be that you ate Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum these past few days?"
Yang Xiong said helplessly, "I've been lucky recently and just ate Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi couldn't care less. He directly went to Yang Xiong, who was sitting in the center, and sniffed him carefully, a hint of intoxication appearing in his eyes.
"It's this aura, a bit similar to that pervert from Spirit Hall. Fortunately, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was eaten by you. If it had fallen into the hands of that pervert, it would have been really troublesome."
Yang Xiong smiled helplessly, "Isn't it just Chrysanthemum Douluo? Don't worry, I'll take his life sooner or later."
...
After everyone communicated for a long time, Niu Gao, who was next to them, seemed a bit blunt, "Sect Leader, it is said that the Elephant Armor Sect suffered heavy losses four years ago and has not yet recovered its vitality. Should our Body Sect make a move on the Elephant Armor Sect? Perhaps we can replace their position among the Lower Four Sects in advance."
Niu Gao was relatively blunt among everyone and was also quite reckless, and he was very much at odds with the Elephant Armor Sect.
Yang Xiong thought carefully, "The Elephant Armor Sect will be destroyed sooner or later, but I don't want to attract the attention of Spirit Hall yet. If there is an opportunity, we will quietly make a move on the Elephant Armor Sect."
"Elder Bai He, has the Elephant Armor Sect made any moves recently?"
Bai He said, "The Elephant Armor Sect has been very low-key these past few years, perhaps because the losses in the Star Dou Great Forest were too severe back then. However, I recently heard that Huyan Li has broken through to Soul King. Perhaps this is our opportunity."
Yang Xiong nodded, "Given Huyan Li's talent, he will definitely need a ten-thousand-year soul ring. I think the Elephant Armor Sect probably won't dare to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. They should go to the Sunset Forest. It just so happens that we are also going to the Sunset Forest. Elder Bai He, you first arrange for personnel to set up a perimeter around the Sunset Forest. Once we get the news, we will go and handle it."
Bai He was a little confused, "What are we going to the Sunset Forest for?"
Yang Xiong said, "I'm already level 60 and plan to go to the Sunset Forest recently to acquire a soul beast. At that time, all five of our elders will set off together, plus my master, Sword Douluo. There shouldn't be any problems."
Everyone present twitched their mouths when they heard Yang Xiong's words, "We're just acquiring a sixth soul ring. Is it necessary to mobilize so many people?"
Yang Xiong shook his head, "My sixth soul ring is a bit troublesome. It requires a very top-tier soul beast. If there aren't enough people, it's easy for it to escape."
"You all arrange everything at home. We will set off in three days. However, this time we need to be cautious and not let anyone know our whereabouts."
Although everyone was a little confused, they all nodded in confirmation. After all, Yang Xiong was the Sect Leader and had shown kindness to everyone.
Moreover, coming out of Slaughter City this time made everyone admire him a little. After all, in the past hundred years, only Bibi Dong and Tang Hao had managed to come out of Slaughter City, which showed that Yang Xiong's combat talent was not inferior to these two.
After everyone finished communicating, Yang Xiong was directly taken by Yang Wudi to the alchemy room.
Before Yang Xiong could react, Yang Wudi directly drew a drop of blood from him.
Yang Wudi looked at the drop of blood from Yang Xiong with a face full of surprise, "Sect Leader, I see that this drop of blood of yours is not simple. Your physical quality is even stronger than I imagined. What level of soul beast do you plan to choose for your sixth soul ring? Logically speaking, you should go to the Star Dou Great Forest, right?"
Yang Wudi was a rare person who was proficient in pharmacology and toxicology, and even understood Immortal Herbs. Naturally, he was very interested in Yang Xiong, who had consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Especially since Yang Xiong was also very familiar with pharmacology, the two often communicated about Immortal Herbs and various pharmacological knowledge.
Yang Xiong took out the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, "Senior Yang, what do you think? If a top-grade fire-attribute soul beast consumes this Inner Core, is it possible for it to break through to the 100,000-year level?"
Yang Wudi looked at the Inner Core with extreme delight, holding it in his hand as if he couldn't bear to put it down, "What kind of Inner Core is this? I can't believe such an Inner Core exists in this world. Looking at the energy, it's top-grade fire attribute. I'm afraid it can even be used as a soul ring."
After some research, especially after Yang Wudi even brought in two venomous snakes, unfortunately, these two venomous snakes trembled slightly just by sensing the energy of the Inner Core from a distance.
Yang Wudi carefully studied it for a long time before speaking, "If it's a fire-attribute soul beast, consuming the Inner Core can indeed greatly increase its strength, and it's even possible for it to undergo a transformation. It's just a pity that the energy of the Inner Core is too strong. I'm afraid only the most top-tier soul beasts can do it, and it's even possible for them to break through the limitations of their own bloodline."
Yang Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, even if it wasn't a 100,000-year soul beast in the Sunset Forest, there would definitely be a way for him to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring.
