Chapter 31 Methods of Absorbing Soul Rings Beyond One's Level
Dai Youheng's extravagant spending on an item of unknown efficacy once again caused a small stir.
Just then, an elderly woman dressed in a jade-green robe, with her hair neatly combed and her eyes gentle yet profound, appeared silently beside Dai Youheng. She looked like an ordinary wealthy old lady, but Dai Youheng could sense her unfathomable depth!
This was the first time Dai Youheng had seen this person, but he could roughly guess his identity. Behind the Treasure Pavilion was the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, and the person in charge of this place was Lin Huiqun, one of the elders, a super Douluo with a level of around ninety-six or ninety-seven, known as Elder Lin.
"Young man," Old Lin said gently, his gaze falling on Dai Youheng with a hint of inquiry, "you want to buy this Ice Crystal Snow Lotus?"
"Yes, senior," Dai Youheng replied with a respectful bow.
Elder Lin nodded slightly and slowly said, "The Ice Crystal Snow Lotus has unique medicinal properties, and its direct help in increasing soul power level is not significant. Its greatest effect lies in the fact that after consumption, it can form a layer of ice crystal shield within the user's body in a short time, protecting both the physical body and soul. If consumed before absorbing a soul ring, even if the soul ring's energy far exceeds the user's tolerance limit, it can greatly increase the success rate. You... are you trying to use this to absorb a soul ring beyond your level, right?"
Dai Youheng inwardly praised Elder Lin for his sharp insight, which had revealed the secret in a single sentence. Since he had been seen through, he had no reason to hide it and frankly admitted, "Senior is wise, this is exactly what I intended."
In this era, while absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's level is still rare, it is no longer as astonishing as Tang San absorbing a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring with his fourth ring ten thousand years ago.
Many top geniuses have tried it to some extent, so it's not too surprising to say.
Looking into his unwavering gaze, Elder Lin's eyes flashed with admiration, but out of a sense of responsibility, she still reminded him, "It's good that you have this ambition. However, I suggest that you don't rush to use it at level forty. With the medicinal power of this Ice Crystal Snow Lotus, if you take it at level forty, it might help you absorb a fourth soul ring that's around ten thousand years old. While that would be amazing, it would be a waste of its potential."
She paused, then continued, "If you can save it until you reach level 70, its protective power might help you absorb an 80,000-year-old, or even close to 100,000-year-old seventh spirit ring! That would truly make the most of it."
As the owner of Jubao Pavilion, she has an obligation to explain to customers the best way to use the items.
Dai Youheng knew that Elder Lin was referring to the general situation and meant well for him. But he had his own plans and trump cards. He bowed respectfully again, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will keep it in mind."
Is using a level 40 weapon a waste? Dai Youheng had his own calculations. That was from the perspective of ordinary people!
His situation is completely different! He possesses the Snow Emperor's 700,000-year soul ring, and the first soul skill it bestows, the Snow Soul Ice Condensation Pill, allows him to temporarily obtain the power of extreme ice!
If he takes the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus and the Snow Soul Ice Condensation Pill together, the protective ice crystals formed by the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus will be temporarily upgraded to the level of "Ultimate Ice", and its defense and stability will increase exponentially!
At that time, the age of the spirit rings that can be absorbed beyond one's level will far exceed Elder Lin's prediction. Perfectly absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring will not be a pipe dream!
Moreover, he still has his last trump card: the second soul skill of his 700,000-year soul ring, the Snow Maiden Sacred Heart Pill! Even in the most extreme situation, where his body collapses during absorption, as long as he takes the Sacred Heart Pill on the spot, it can trigger its resurrection effect and reshape his body.
Although that would mean failing to absorb the spirit ring, it would also eliminate the risk of death.
With the Snow Empress's plan, plus the protection of the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus and two great soul skills, this leapfrog absorption is inevitable! Dai Youheng was full of confidence.
He completed the transaction and carefully stored the ice crystal snow lotus, which exuded a faint chill, into his storage ring.
The Lan sisters, standing to the side, were dumbfounded, astonished by Dai Youheng's wealth, and even more shocked by his decisiveness and the words of the old senior who had suddenly appeared and whose aura was unfathomable.
Absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's level? This Brother Youheng's ambition is far greater than they imagined!
Soon after, the treasure appreciation event finally came to an end. As the doors of the Treasure Pavilion slowly closed, the guests gradually dispersed.
Dai Youheng stood at the street corner, pondering for a moment.
He was worried that Dai Huabin still had a backup plan, so he didn't choose to go back. Instead, he booked a room in the city center and prepared to stay there. He didn't believe that Dai Huabin was bold enough to dare to kill someone in the city center of Shrek City.
Going back early tomorrow morning, it will be broad daylight and bustling with noise. Unless Dai Huabin has lost his mind and doesn't want to live anymore.
His caution was justified.
Most of the assassins hired by Dai Huabin did follow Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, but one Soul King-level Soul Master was left behind, lurking on the only way back to Shrek Academy, preparing to ambush Dai Youheng. His goal was to retrieve the Soul Bone and teach him a lesson.
Dai Youheng's "staying out all night" move left the poor Soul King feeding on mosquitoes all night in the cold wind of the suburbs, all in vain.
However, this actually saved his life. In comparison, his companions who went to hunt down Huo Yuhao... have probably already been turned to ashes by Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flames.
Having made up her mind, Dai Youheng took the Lan sisters to a rather luxurious-looking hotel in the city center.
As they approached the hotel reception, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo looked at the ambiguous lighting and, as if thinking of something, their pretty faces suddenly turned bright red.
Lan Susu hesitated for a moment, her voice barely audible, tinged with shyness and a hint of wariness, "Brother You... Brother Youheng, don't think that just because you gave us the Soul-Elevating Pill, you can do whatever you want to us! Even if... even if you wanted to... do that, you should at least have a proper courtship and relationship! And you can only choose one of us sisters! You can't... you can't have them all!"
Lan Luoluo blushed and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, agreeing, "Yes, sister is right! That's exactly it!"
Dai Youheng, "...?"
Three huge question marks seemed to instantly appear on his forehead. What were these two sisters thinking?
He didn't bother explaining, letting his actions speak for themselves. He turned to the receptionist and said calmly, "Two rooms. One single room for me, and one double room for these two ladies."
Then he turned to the two sisters, who were still shy and lost in thought, and explained, "It's too late today, and the soul-guided buses back to the academy seem to have stopped running. Let's rest here for the night; it's safer that way. Remember to take the Soul Ascension Pill later and absorb its effects properly. We'll go back together early tomorrow morning."
