"It seems we won't be able to visit the Star Dou Great Forest anytime soon."
The next day, Qingmu looked at the Star Dou Great Forest behind her with some regret.
If it were just like in Dou Yi, with Titan Giant Apes and Azure Bull Pythons that are 100,000 years old, it would be fine. Although Qing Mu cannot defeat them for the time being, they also cannot pose any threat to Qing Mu.
However, there are also a group of ferocious beasts led by Di Tian in this Star Dou Great Forest, so the level of threat is on a completely different level.
Although he possessed two life-saving techniques—defense and teleportation—he still couldn't guarantee complete safety when facing Di Tian.
Fortunately, the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was very fruitful. Not only did my soul power jump to level 65, but I also obtained a 90,000-year-old right leg soul bone, which verified the truth of the world and my own strength. So it was a worthwhile trip.
Qingmu sighed, "I should go home first and see how my parents are doing. With the help of the immortal herbs, they must have made considerable progress by now."
Before Qing Mu left last time, he left the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum with his father, Qing Tianfeng. With Qing Tianfeng's martial soul, which was not of a high level to begin with, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was enough to help him evolve.
Moreover, the reason why Qingmu left behind the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum instead of other immortal herbs is mainly because the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Narcissus Jade Bone are a pair of couple immortal herbs. After consuming this pair of immortal herbs, the compatibility of their martial souls will be increased to some extent.
If the compatibility level increases significantly enough, then the two might be able to try a spirit fusion skill.
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill is a great thing. Once they have it, their strength will definitely increase significantly, and Qing Mu can feel more at ease about their safety.
...
Häagen-Dazs Kingdom, Xilu City, Qingtianfeng Territory.
"Haha, congratulations, wife! You've finally broken through level 50. Now you just need to absorb a soul ring to become a true Soul King!"
Inside the castle, Qing Tianfeng immediately came forward to greet Xu Yao upon seeing her emerge from seclusion, and congratulated her with a smile.
"We have to thank Mu'er for this. If it weren't for the immortal herbs he provided, we might never have been able to break through to the Soul King level in our entire lives."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao replied with a smile.
Xu Yao was overjoyed about breaking through to the Soul King realm, as this was something she had never dared to even dream of before, but now she had achieved it so easily.
Upon hearing Xu Yao mention Qing Mu, Qing Tianfeng's eyebrows danced with excitement. "Of course, how could I forget Mu'er's contributions?"
Before absorbing the immortal herb, Qing Tianfeng was already at level 46. After absorbing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum left by Qing Mu, he directly broke through the level 50 threshold, advancing much faster than Xu Yao.
The reason he hasn't gone to hunt for his fifth spirit ring and become a true spirit king is mainly because he's waiting for Xu Yao to break through so they can go together.
After all, a Soul King's fifth Soul Ring should ideally be at the ten-thousand-year level. Given their level and strength, they would definitely need to ask someone for help, and it would be best to resolve the issue in one go.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Tianfeng said, "Now that you have broken through, we should go and hunt for the fifth spirit ring. We can't be careless in acquiring this spirit ring; we need to ask one or even several powerful seniors for help."
Acquiring the fifth spirit ring is not as easy as the previous ones. A spirit master who can defeat a ten-thousand-year spirit beast must be at least a high-level spirit king or even a spirit emperor.
These are already considered mid-to-high-level figures across the entire continent. At least, there are several powerful figures like the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom. It wouldn't be easy for ordinary people to get them to make a trip.
"Actually, we can ask Senior Ye for help in acquiring our fifth spirit ring. Mu'er is with Senior Ye's daughter now, so I'm sure they won't refuse this favor," Xu Yao replied.
Upon hearing this, Qing Tianfeng thought for a while and then hesitated: "Won't this affect Mu'er?"
Generally speaking, such aristocratic marriages are exchanges of resources, but the gap between them and the Ye family is too great, and they cannot provide any help to the Ye family at all. If they still want to bleed the other party dry, it is inevitable that the other party will be disgusted.
Hearing this, Xu Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes. "What impact could it have? Are we going to bother asking others when we already have our in-laws?"
Moreover, our most valuable asset is Mu'er. As long as Mu'er is alive, nothing else matters!
"That's true."
Qing Tianfeng nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with Xu Yao's words.
Qing Mu's talent is unparalleled in Qing Tianfeng's life. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future. Compared with a Title Douluo who can change the situation, everything else is nothing.
After all, there are only a handful of forces on the continent with Title Douluo, and even renowned forces like the Lower Four Sects do not have a Title Douluo in charge.
Although the Ye family is a first-class family, its strongest member is only a Soul Douluo of level 80.
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them; it was Qingmu and Ivysaur.
"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about?"
Qing Mu smiled as she looked at Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao, her slightly blue pupils sweeping over them, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
It was not surprising to Qing Mu that Qing Tianfeng could reach level 50. After all, when he left home at the age of ten, the other party's cultivation level was already level 44. It was not surprising that he had overcome the bottleneck of level 50 with more than three years of hard training and the addition of immortal herbs.
What truly surprised Qing Mu was Xu Yao. Although she had the support of the Wood Spirit Seed and the Immortal Herb Martial Soul, advancing four levels in just over a year was still considered fast.
"Da na, da na~"
Ivysaur also greeted the two of them.
Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao exchanged a glance, both of them showing shock. With their strength as quasi-Soul Kings, they hadn't even seen how Qing Mu appeared here.
After the initial shock, Qing Tianfeng spoke first: "Your mother and I were discussing the issue of hunting for spirit rings, and we happened to talk about you. I didn't expect you to be back."
"Spirit rings? You really should consider that. But Dad, did you just get home? Why haven't you hunted your fifth spirit ring yet?"
Qing Mu was somewhat puzzled. It had been more than a year since he last left. Given Qing Tianfeng's level, if he had returned earlier, he should have already obtained his fifth soul ring and become a Soul King.
Qing Tianfeng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "The king had many instructions, and I only returned a few months ago."
This mission was a huge loss for him. If he could have returned earlier and taken the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he could have evolved his martial spirit sooner and greatly increased his cultivation speed. He might already be at level 52 by now.
Qing Mu sighed helplessly, "Alright, but you've actually turned misfortune into blessing. If you really break through to the Soul King realm, then this thing of mine won't be of much use anymore."
