Moreover, Chu Chengzhou wasn't worried that his massive consumption would destroy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this precious location.
Although the origin of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well came from the bodies of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King among the nine dragon kings of the dragon race after their deaths in the ancient Dragon God War. Their corpses fell in the Sunset Forest, and the water and fire energy overflowing from the two dragon corpses evolved into what it is today.
Perhaps in the beginning, the total energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well equaled the energy overflowing from the two dragon king corpses, but after countless years of evolution, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had become a special terrain formation. The immense water and fire energy contained in the spring water had long been transformed from external heaven and earth energy. The water and fire energy overflowing from the two dragon king corpses now played at most just a catalytic role.
One must understand that the ancient Dragon God War was hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even if the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were powerful in life, if they only emitted energy without receiving any, it would be impossible for them to still be emitting energy after so many years without being completely depleted.
It could be said that as long as one doesn't dig up the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, severely damage the terrain formation, or completely devour all the immense water and fire energy contained within the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in one go, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well cannot be destroyed. Relying on its special terrain formation, the consumed water and fire energy can quickly recover, making it practically inexhaustible.
Not returning to Tian Dou City, Chu Chengzhou went directly to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Before heading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to condense his soul core, Chu Chengzhou had already informed Qian Renxue and Tang Yuehua. Once Fang Quan broke through, they would directly head to the sea to hunt for spirit rings.
Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Sect's Main Hall.
"Young man, you've come at just the right time. Elder Fang broke through this morning and was planning to look for you early tomorrow morning. I didn't expect you to come yourself."
Seeing Chu Chengzhou walk into the hall, Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"Then shall we set off now?"
Rubbing his chin, Chu Chengzhou said.
"If we set off at this time, isn't it a bit late?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned, then asked.
"Not late. My summoned beast flies very fast. We can reach the coastal area tonight."
Chu Chengzhou waved his hand.
It was only around two or three in the afternoon, still early. Plus, Tian Dou City was located in the northern central part of the continent, slightly to the east. If they set off now, they could reach the eastern coast just as it gets dark. They could then find a hotel in a coastal city to stay overnight, and start hunting for spirit rings officially tomorrow morning.
"Alright then!"
After thinking for a moment, Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Not long after, Ning Fengzhi had someone bring Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Fang Quan, and a refined-looking middle-aged man.
The refined middle-aged man bore a three-tenths resemblance to Ning Fengzhi. Without a doubt, he should be a cousin or something similar.
"Young man, let me introduce you. This is Ning Fengyuan, Rongrong's uncle, a Level 76 Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saint."
Ning Fengzhi said to Chu Chengzhou.
Immediately, Chu Chengzhou smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
Don't think that just because Ning Fengzhi was publicly recognized by the soul master world as the world's number one auxiliary soul master, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect only had him as a Level 70 or above auxiliary soul master. This was simply because Ning Fengzhi, as the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, had higher fame.
If we really calculate carefully, before Ning Fengzhi's martial soul evolved into the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wasn't without Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saints who could match him—in fact, there were quite a few.
After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul's quality ranked at the top tier. Soul masters who awakened this martial soul mostly wouldn't have poor cultivation talent, and the probability of producing those with excellent talent far exceeded that of ordinary commoners without inheritance. Plus, the requirement for innate soul power to reach the 7th ring Soul Saint realm wasn't too high. With several hundred direct descendants of the Ning family and the sect's resources heavily tilted toward them, even if only one-tenth of them cultivated to the Soul Saint realm, that would still be dozens of Soul Saints.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi continued: "I have matters recently that make it inconvenient for me to accompany you on the spirit ring hunt. During the hunt, Fengyuan will provide you with auxiliary support."
This spirit ring hunt, Ning Fengzhi didn't plan to go along.
It wasn't that the sea was dangerous and Ning Fengzhi was afraid of death. Rather, the return date from spirit ring hunting was uncertain. Currently, it was just when the Tian Dou Empire was campaigning against Star Luo, and the battlefield was intense. As the helmsman, he couldn't be absent from the sect for long periods.
Of course, this wasn't the most important reason. The most important reason was that as a Soul Douluo, his auxiliary abilities weren't much stronger than the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saints in the sect.
Compared to ordinary Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saints, his advantages were merely having one additional auxiliary-type eighth soul skill, his attribute enhancement soul skills providing 10% more attribute enhancement ratio, and having higher endurance.
Although there were advantages, they weren't significant enough. Thus, Ning Fengzhi didn't plan to go along.
Hearing this, Chu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows but didn't say much.
He originally wanted to say it wasn't necessary to go to such lengths. Not only was Ning Fengyuan as auxiliary support unnecessary, even Chen Xin and Gu Rong didn't need to go together. Simply having Fang Quan follow him to hunt for spirit rings would be enough.
But upon second thought, Chu Chengzhou abandoned this idea. It was better to bring Chen Xin, the other two, and the auxiliary support.
The year limit for sea spirit beasts wasn't just a hundred thousand years. Sea demon beasts, and even sea demon beasts with extremely high cultivation years, did exist. If they had bad luck—or rather, too good luck—and encountered a formidable opponent, having Chen Xin and the three others along would be safer.
With a Soul Saint level Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master providing auxiliary support, Level 97 Chen Xin and Level 96 Gu Rong's strength could at least reach Level 98 and 97. Even if they encountered a sea demon beast with over five hundred thousand years of cultivation, they might not be able to fight head-on, but blocking a few moves and then escaping would definitely not be a problem.
Without much idle chatter, Chu Chengzhou directly led the team to set off.
In his hand, his True Spirit Flag martial soul materialized. His eighth soul ring shone brightly, and his hundred-thousand-year Space Holy Dragon spirit summon Xiao Yin appeared.
In terms of strength, Xiao Yin naturally couldn't compare to his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger spirit summon Xiao Hei, whose cultivation reached over one hundred and thirty thousand years and whose bloodline level was at the peak below the god level. But in terms of grandeur and style, Xiao Yin directly won the title of "Best Mount"—well, as rated by Chu Chengzhou—and it also perfectly matched the image of a righteous soul master like him.
"Hmm? What kind of dragon is this?"
Looking at the silver dragon that appeared before him and examining it up and down, Chen Xin asked somewhat surprised.
Chu Chengzhou shook his head: "I don't know exactly what kind of dragon it is, but Xiao Yin possesses space attributes, so I named it Space Holy Dragon."
That Xiao Yin had evolved from a Thorn Dragon—there was no need to say more about this.
"A hundred thousand years?"
Sensing the powerful aura emitted by the Space Holy Dragon Xiao Yin, Gu Rong asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Your eyes are sharp, elder!"
Chu Chengzhou gave a thumbs up.
Gu Rong: "..."
Speaking of one-on-one duels, this old man probably couldn't beat this dragon either?
Although the attributes were different, this so-called Space Holy Dragon looked exactly like elemental dragons such as the Light Holy Dragon. It was undoubtedly a dragon race spirit beast.
Dragon race spirit beasts were inherently more powerful than ordinary spirit beasts. Combined with a hundred thousand years of cultivation, even a Level 97 Titled Douluo might not necessarily get the upper hand. Let alone this was a hundred-thousand-year dragon race spirit beast with space attributes.
