RNP Chapter 10 Ah, the Black Seal!
Chapter 10 Ah, the Black Seal!
He wanted to run away, but he was worried that Bibi Dong was emotionally unstable.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot.
However, I managed to control my emotions, though I still had a headache.
Rakshasa is an evil god, and the corrupting influence of evil thoughts on her has two major effects: first, it makes her sleep poorly, and second, it constantly deepens her hatred.
But often, after the hatred subsides, feelings of anxiety, sadness, and emptiness will follow. The feeling of being enveloped by negative energy is the most unbearable.
"I've encountered some setbacks in my cultivation, and I'm occasionally affected by evil thoughts. But it doesn't have much of an impact," Bibi Dong said wearily, with her eyes closed.
Qin Xu immediately stopped asking. Practicing martial arts was a very private matter, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
But thinking of Bibi Dong's terrifying appearance just now, Qin Xu was about to speak.
You crazy woman, you need to lose ten points!
At this point, Bibi Dong was no longer so keen on giving Yu Xiaogang his soul bone.
"Unless, Xiao Gang can train his disciple into a genius comparable to that bastard..." Bibi Dong's eyes flickered.
"However, Notting City actually has a genius with innate full soul power... Are the deacons of the Spirit Hall just sitting around doing nothing?" Bibi Dong originally intended to investigate further, but she hesitated when she thought of Yu Xiaogang. She really wanted to see what kind of talent Yu Xiaogang had nurtured.
In her view, the disciples trained by Yu Xiaogang would definitely not oppose her, and it would be good to win them over after they showed amazing talent in a few years.
"Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power," Qin Xu said.
"Can Blue Silver Grass also have innate full soul power?" Bibi Dong asked with some doubt.
She didn't know what kind of spirit beast Qian Xunji chased before he died; otherwise, knowing the age of Tang Hao's descendants, the Spirit Hall would have made targeted arrangements.
Tang Hao couldn't possibly let Tang San appear as a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with innate full soul power.
Even if she knew Tang San's identity, if Tang San didn't have twin martial souls and she didn't consider the inherited soul bone on his father's body, she wouldn't have the intention to attack Tang San.
After all, the former Pope Qian Xunji was actually killed by her and Tang Hao in a joint effort.
In fact, she wasn't the MVP.
Qin Xu shook his head.
"I just heard that you have also taken on a disciple?" Bibi Dong asked curiously. Seeing Qin Xu nod, she said:
"In the future, I can exchange ideas more with the master's disciples. I'd like to see which of your disciples, taught using your respective theories, is stronger..."
"Your Majesty, I have decided to focus on cultivation from now on. As for taking on disciples, it can only be considered an investment." Qin Xu shook his head; he had no interest in spending his energy on that.
"Cultivation..." Bibi Dong glanced at Qin Ruins, unconcerned.
Qin Xu's martial soul is just Blue Silver Grass. What's the point of focusing on cultivation? Will he break through to Soul King or Soul Emperor in the future?
She has many Soul Kings and Soul Emperors under her command.
In her view, with Qin Xu's talent, if he focused on studying the theory of martial spirits, the value he could create would far exceed his own cultivation. As for safety, hiring some guards would suffice.
As for cultivation, just meditate for a fixed period of time every day and don't fall behind; why waste so much energy?
But she simply thought it was because Qin Xu hadn't encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation...
"Then you need to report your teaching plan for your disciples, as well as Yu Xiaogang's teaching plan for his disciples, to the Spirit Hall. Consider it a small task for you, and I can grant you one condition that can be fulfilled."
"That's fine." Qin Xu thought this was no trouble. His disciple was a genius with innate full soul power, so he didn't need to put in much effort.
Bibi Dong arrived full of enthusiasm but left disappointed. After making a few arrangements for the Qin Ruins, she hurriedly departed and disappeared into the darkness.
Upon confirming Bibi Dong's departure, Qin Xu clenched his fist, his heart pounding with emotion.
"They're finally gone. Now we can start studying the Black Mark."
After preparing the quiet room, Uncle Hei added, "Master, the laboratory is being prepared, but the 'Rat' from Tiandou City was not brought along."
"No need to look for her deliberately. Uncle Hei, I remember your daughter isn't too old, is she?" Qin Xu took a sip of tea, savoring its taste. "Ask her if she'd be willing to help me take care of my new apprentice."
Blackie is his man, and his loyalty is beyond doubt. Blackie has three wives, the youngest of whom is the most beautiful. She gave birth to a daughter for him, who is also his only daughter.
His eldest and second sons both died as a result of targeting by a certain sect.
"Thank you, sir."
Uncle Hei instantly realized Qin Xu's thoughts. Qin Xu's newly accepted disciple was a genuine innate full-strength soul force. Even if Qin Xu hadn't said anything, he would have wanted to ask his daughter's opinion.
But he was thinking of making his daughter a concubine, because he felt that if Qin Xu got married and had a daughter, Tang San might marry her.
However, if Qin Xu knew about this idea, his face would probably turn as black as the bottom of a pot.
Hei Boxing left in a huff, leaving Qin Xu alone in the quiet room to ponder.
"Strengthen everything?" Qin Xu pondered for a moment, then his first thought was of his martial soul.
With his thought, a small line of text appeared in his field of vision and extended above his martial spirit.
"I'm having a bit of good luck right now... I can just try out source enhancement."
Blue Silver Grass - its first spirit ring is a 600-year-old Great Sun Vine, and its second spirit ring is a 1000-year-old Iron Root Giant Banyan.
Upgradeable branches: 3.
Upon seeing the black mark, Qin Xu immediately felt a long-lost sense of security.
"What are 'enhancement branches'? Could they be directions for enhancement?"
Filled with curiosity, Qin Xu immediately began to examine it.
His gaze naturally fell on the evolutionary branch, and in an instant, the threads of the evolutionary branch began to expand, revealing three different routes.
These three different routes connect in three different directions. The first dotted line connects to the 'Sun-Chasing Blue Silver King', the second direction leads to the 'Myriad Life Blue Silver King', and the third direction leads to the ordinary 'Blue Silver King'...
However, besides these three paths, there are also dotted lines in the evolutionary branches that are not visible.
"Does the dotted line indicate a lack of materials? Or is the enhancement level too weak..."
Qin Xu observed very carefully and quickly discovered the pattern: the direction of his martial soul enhancement was actually related to the types of soul rings he could absorb.
For example, his first spirit ring absorbed the Great Sun Vine, thus his spirit Blue Silver Grass gained the qualification to climb the Sun Ladder and become a devout follower of the Sun.
Of course, the name still sounds like "Blue Silver King" because the essence of his martial soul is still Blue Silver Grass.
"Soul rings are the very essence of soul beasts, but under the influence of the black mark, they've become something like a class change certificate?"
"Perhaps it's more complicated. However, even if it evolves into the 'Sun Chasing Blue Silver King,' the quality of the martial soul probably won't reach the highest level." Qin Xu pondered while checking the required conditions.
The existence of the Blue Silver King proves that there are also the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Emperor above it.
Having studied martial spirit theory for many years, Qin Xu naturally knew that there was a phenomenon of "kings" among gregarious demonic beasts.
The first thing to look at at Qin Ruins is the Blue Silver King.
Clearly, this is the only option that requires the fewest resources.
Blue Silver King
Required Soul Power: Six years of reserved life force, Luck: 1
"The original soul skill has evolved into: Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life. It possesses powerful self-healing, recovery, and recuperation abilities, capable of reviving the dead, restoring flesh and bone, and reconnecting severed limbs. It can also affect the Blue Silver Grass in the nearby area, accelerating its growth."
A strange expression appeared on Qin Xu's face.
As his martial soul, Qin Xu naturally put a lot of effort into Blue Silver Grass, and he even knew about the existence of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Evolving Blue Silver Grass into Blue Silver King has always been his goal.
However, Qin Xu was not in a hurry, but patiently looked at the other two evolutionary paths.
"The second one, the Blue Silver King who chases the sun."
"Required Resources: Fifteen years of reserve vitality, Luck: 5"
"After the source is strengthened, the first soul skill can be transformed into the source skill: Chasing the Sun."
Qin Xu used his mind to examine the enhanced information, and soon, this information quickly transformed into a state that Qin Xu could understand.
"The Blue Silver King of the Sun ascended the Stairway to the Sun, praying devoutly to the sun daily, drawing himself closer to it. Simultaneously, his martial soul's affinity for fire and light increased fivefold."
Special effect: The Blue Silver King of the Sun possesses fire and light attributes, and its martial soul can pray daily and draw true solar fire from the sun.
The true fire of the sun can transform into the essence of the great sun to nourish the physical body, and it can also nurture the true fire's origin.
When nurturing the true fire source, one can increase the intensity of the current true fire by one-five-hundredth and the upper limit of soul power by one-thousandth each day, while nourishing the physical body and permanently enhancing physical strength.
After the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver King has nurtured a certain level of True Fire Origin, it can evolve into the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver Emperor by integrating certain conditions, allowing the upper limit of the True Fire Origin to nurture a divine sun with a trace of the characteristics of the Great Sun.
Additionally, the essence of the sun can accelerate plant growth.
Active Effect: The leaves contain the power of the sun's true fire, and the vines are immune to some fire effects. The roots and stems can accumulate the essence of the great sun, giving Blue Silver Grass an edible effect.
In an instant, Qin Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes and see a kind of beauty called intensity.
The difference in strength between the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver King is like heaven and earth.
The main advantage is the special effect of this martial soul. As long as you have a surplus of soul power during the day, you can steadily increase the intensity of your true fire and the upper limit of your soul power without any upper limit.
The strength curve of his martial spirit can probably be calculated using the compound interest formula.
Qin Xu did a simple calculation and found that his strength would roughly double every year.
In other words, one's strength will increase exponentially by two.
No matter how strong one becomes, the power of the True Sun Fire will more than double every year until one can nurture the True Fire Origin with the True Sun Fire, at which point the upper limit cannot be increased.
Qin Xu knew very well that no matter where he was, the difficulty of breaking through his strength increased as he progressed.
In the early stages, progress may be rapid. For a genius, breaking through five levels in a year is not uncommon. At this time, it is not surprising that their strength doubles every year.
However, once you reach the Soul Saint level, the difficulty increases dramatically.
Breaking through one level in a year is not a strange thing.
Once someone becomes a Title Douluo, it's normal for them to advance one level every few years or even more than a decade.
As for myself, my strength doubles every year, and I become more and more terrifying as I get older.
Other titled Douluo are considered normal to be stuck on a major bottleneck for five or six years, but for me... five or six years is enough time for me to fight a hundred of my past selves.
However, after Qin Xu read it again, his expression changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
"I was wrong. The Sun Chasing Blue Silver King is a martial soul at the same level as the Blue Silver King, so how could it be so much stronger than an ordinary Blue Silver King? It turns out there is a limit to its growth."
"When the Sun Chasing Blue Silver King nurtured the true fire source, its martial soul reached its limit. After that, its cultivation could either stop using soul power to draw upon the true fire of the sun and give up climbing the ladder of the sun, or continue chasing the sun, causing its martial soul to self-immolate and undergo a fundamental transformation during the process of its martial soul's nirvana, evolving into the Sun Chasing Blue Silver Emperor. However, this process was extremely dangerous and almost certain death."
Thinking of this, Qin Xu relaxed again.
The "Ten Deaths Without Survival" martial soul evolution of the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver Grass is aimed at ordinary people.
But for Qin Xu... when the Blue Silver King of the Sun reaches its limit, it can evolve again using 'Lucky'.
Moreover, Qin Xu pondered that the Blue Silver King did not necessarily have to evolve along the conventional path of the Blue Silver Grass.
Qin Xu then looked toward the last enhancement path.
Wansheng Blue Silver King.
"The second soul skill will transform into the original skill, Myriad Life."
"Special effect: The roots of the Myriad Life Blue Silver King will continue to expand, growing wildly with the help of the earth's resources, making the roots and stems more resilient and robust, changing from eight grass leaves to forty grass leaves... When it grows to its limit, it can generate the Myriad Life Domain..."
"Active Effect: Crazy Plants"
"Required Resources: 10 years of reserve vitality, Luck: 3"
"Somewhere between the ordinary Blue Silver King and the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver King? That's terrifying too. I remember when I used my second soul skill, Mad Plant, the number of Blue Silver Grass leaves would double, while the Myriad Life Blue Silver King, in its initial stage, already has forty grass leaves... The numbers are just too many." Qin Xu clicked his tongue in amazement.
Although the active effect remained unchanged, that was because the base stats were too high. In Qin Xu's view, the Myriad Life Blue Silver King was in no way inferior to the Sun Chasing Blue Silver Grass.
At this stage, Qin Xu will definitely choose the "Sun-Chasing Blue Silver King" that can accelerate his growth.
As for other enhancement paths, after Blue Silver Grass is enhanced into Sun Chasing Blue Silver King, Qin Xu speculates that enhancing the Black Seal should also enhance the origin of 'Iron Root Giant Banyan' on the basis of Sun Chasing Blue Silver King, so that his martial soul can obtain the 'Myriad Life' characteristic.
"I wonder what kind of terrifying existence my martial soul will become after I obtain nine spirit rings and strengthen their origins multiple times..." Qin Xu's heart was filled with anticipation. An unprecedented sense of pride also arose within him.
I imagine that back then, I'd have both impressive statistics and sophisticated mechanisms...
"Furthermore, strengthening the Black Seal as my Martial Soul allows me to 'pay' and 'enjoy' it in installments."
Strengthening the Black Seal is part of oneself, so one can be more humane in terms of "payment and receipt" and can strengthen the Martial Soul in stages.
For example, first enhance it by 10%...
While this doesn't fully showcase the Blue Silver King's form, it's far better than being able to see but not touch him.
"But this is still taking a bit too long..." Having witnessed the power of the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver Grass, Qin Xu felt itchy to try it himself.
There is an excessive need to build up vitality.
He wasn't greedy because the Black Seal wasn't strong enough; rather, if he had known earlier that strengthening the Black Seal required soul power and life force, he wouldn't have chosen the Iron Root Giant Banyan for his second soul ring.
The Iron-Rooted Giant Banyan Tree endowed his Blue Silver Grass with thicker roots, greater resilience, increased regenerative capacity, and a more powerful offensive soul skill called "Crazy Plant".
