Chapter 83: Fu Ling Qing Pill
The group of four arrived deep in the Seven Treasure Forest, standing in front of a remote mountain range.
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi looked at the elderly man and young man before them, both filled with suspicion, not knowing what they were really up to.
"Cough... cough. Well then, Bei'er, let's begin. A small Dan Thunder, your Grandpa Sword can handle it, you just throw it to him when the time comes."
Gu Rong cleared his throat twice and looked at Ning Bei.
Ning Bei nodded, no longer hesitating. The Dan Tower appeared in his hand, and the red soul ring with four golden lines started to glow. A light blue pill appeared in his hand, and a strong medicinal fragrance quickly filled the air.
At that moment, thick dark clouds began to gather above them. The scene seemed as if it had absorbed all the storm clouds from the entire Heaven Dou City. Soon after, rumbling sounds started to rise from the thunderclouds, as if something was brewing.
Chen Xin couldn't help but swallow nervously. He felt like something was off.
He didn't notice that Gu Rong was smiling mischievously at him.
"Bei'er, what are you waiting for? Hurry and give the pill to Old Swordman."
Upon hearing this, Ning Bei immediately tossed the light blue pill to Chen Xin.
"Grandpa Sword, be careful."
Gu Rong looked at Chen Xin, then pointed to the open ground in front of them.
"Come on, show it!"
The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be enraged, and the lightning began to flash uncontrollably between the clouds. After a while, accompanied by a loud rumble, a multicolored Dan Thunder shot towards Chen Xin.
The terrifying energy passed through, distorting the air around them.
Chen Xin's expression turned extremely serious. This was no less than a desperate attack from a Super Douluo. The Seven Killing Sword appeared in his hand.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi finally understood why Gu Rong didn't want alchemy to be done in the sect. It was like asking for the whole place to be destroyed.
He quickly summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower.
"Seventh soul skill, Nine Treasure Body. The nine treasures are: strength, speed, soul, control, and increase."
Feeling his aura double, Chen Xin smiled confidently, and his seventh and ninth soul rings began to shine.
"Seven Killing Body, Ninth Soul Skill, God and Demon Two Slashes!"
A giant sword energy, carrying the momentum of splitting the heavens, clashed directly with the incoming Dan Thunder. After the two collided, a terrifying wave of energy spread outward.
The residents of Seven Treasure City were immediately drawn to the scene. They thought it was about to rain, but now they realized that a mighty figure was crossing the tribulation.
After a long while, the shockwave subsided, and Ning Bei and the others let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Ning Fengzhi stared at the environment in shock.
"This... this is too exaggerated."
He looked at the mountain before him, which had been leveled by the Dan Thunder and the Seven Killing Sword's energy. He couldn't help but wonder how the scene would look if it happened in the sect.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but shiver.
Gu Rong, who had been watching with a playful expression, now looked a little more serious. He had expected the Dan Thunder to be terrifying, and while letting Chen Xin take a beating was fine, he didn't expect it to reach this level.
"Good thing we didn't try to take two at once, or would we be missing a protecting Douluo?"
Chen Xin, now catching his breath, rolled his eyes at Gu Rong.
"Shut up if you can't say anything useful. No one's taking you for a mute."
"Though, that Dan Thunder really is terrifying. When Bei'er becomes a Title Douluo, I can't even imagine what the Dan Thunder for his pills would be like."
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong thought about the scene and shuddered again.
At this point, Ning Bei weakly spoke up.
"Uh, Father, Grandpa, and Grandpa, there's another pill, should we make it now?"
Chen Xin smiled slightly and pulled the corner of Gu Rong's mouth.
"Let's make it. Since it's already out, we might as well make another. And we still have Old Bone, right?"
He was thinking to himself that since this old guy had set him up, it was only fair to get some payback. Besides, they were really craving the effects of the Fu Ling Qing Pill.
Ning Fengzhi sighed lightly when he saw that Gu Rong didn't object. He once again summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower.
"Nine treasures are known for..."
Gu Rong felt the continuous flow of power in his body and instantly transformed into a bone dragon, flying into the sky.
"Bei'er, let's do it."
Ning Bei nodded. His eighth soul ring flashed once again, and another light blue pill appeared in his hand.
"Be careful, Grandpa Bone!"
He threw the pill into the air towards the bone dragon.
The same scene repeated. The dark clouds gathered once again.
The residents of Seven Treasure City murmured, "Why are so many people crossing tribulation today?"
"The Bone Dragon's true form, Fourth Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Armor."
The Bone Dragon in the sky was immediately enveloped by a hideous armor. This soul skill increased its defense by five times, and it was clear that Gu Rong planned to take the Dan Thunder head-on.
At that moment, the eight-colored Dan Thunder came again, striking directly at the Bone Dragon.
The loud "crack" sound echoed in everyone's ears, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a bit nervous for Gu Rong.
After a while, the Dan Thunder dissipated, and the armor on the Bone Dragon had been severely damaged. Fortunately, Gu Rong inside remained unharmed.
Gu Rong called back his martial soul and landed on the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"That was close. If it had been any more powerful, I might not have been able to handle it. Bei'er, you'd better prepare a Bone-Integrating Blood-Melting Pill for this old man."
"Alright, Grandpa Bone, you and Grandpa Sword will each have one."
With the mission accomplished, Ning Bei's soul power was running low. The group decided to return to the sect and come back another day to make the Bodhi Pills.
It would be better to let Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone take the Fu Ling Qing Pill first, so they would be more prepared to face the Dan Thunder.
Back in his room, Ning Bei sensed his second martial soul and found it was indeed present, though he couldn't yet use it. He guessed he would have to wait until Heavenly Dream woke up before they could go to the Extreme North together.
He then sensed the Ice Silkworm in his consciousness sea, still deep in sleep. He withdrew his spiritual energy, not rushing with the second martial soul issue, as it wouldn't interfere with his plans.
The next day, after resting, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone planned to take the Fu Ling Qing Pill to break through their boundaries. They didn't plan to wait until they reached level 98; for them, the benefits now were the right path.
After asking Ning Bei for the instructions on taking the pills, both entered closed-door cultivation. At this point, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't need them to stand guard.
The Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were enough to handle most problems.
Not to mention Ning Bei's soul beast team—just Ah Bao alone was already formidable.
While waiting, Ning Bei summoned Ah Bao and Er Ming, who were causing a ruckus in the Dan Tower.
The two muscle-bound guys came out, still looking tough.
Ning Bei was a little confused, thinking that putting these two somewhat naive fellows together should result in them finding common ground. But now they seemed to be at odds.
"My fists are the strongest!"
"Pah! My claws break everything!"
"Hmph, come, let's spar a few rounds."
"Let's go."
With that, the two looked at Ning Bei.
"Ning Bei, brother, I'm going to spar with this smelly bear, find a spot."
"Big Brother, watch me turn him into a dead ape."
Ning Bei had forgotten that both of them were battle maniacs, but it was fine; he was curious to see who was stronger between the Titan Giant Ape and the Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear.
