Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 13 Entwined Love in the Mortal World, Just a Little Bit More
Under Jing Hongchen's guidance, Lin Nuo easily hunted down a Bright Moon Peony.

As they are, after all, the royal family's personal soul beasts. The royal family even intentionally cultivates them in their settlement, and every once in a while, they actively sow fertilizer to make them grow well.

It's like treating these Moonlit Peonies and Blazing Sun Nine-Leaf Lotus as livestock.

However, the planting area of ​​the Blazing Sun Nine-Leaf Lotus is not here, so Lin Nuo did not see it. After absorbing the soul ring of the Bright Moon Peony, Lin Nuo returned to Mingdu with Jing Hongchen.

With a six-thousand-year soul ring attached to his body, Lin Nuo's soul power level immediately increased to level thirty-four, and his martial soul also underwent another change.

The starlight on the Blue Silver Grass leaves has increased, but the gold and silver luster on the veins has faded considerably, overshadowed by a more dazzling silver light.

The Moon Peony strengthened the power of the moon, and the power of the sun was naturally suppressed. It may take until Lin Nuo absorbs the next soul ring to restore the balance and allow the power of the sun to regain its former glory.

Bright Moon Peony's third soul skill: Spirit of the Moon.

If this spirit ring were absorbed normally by a spirit master with a moon spirit, the resulting spirit skill would most likely be a defensive or restorative spirit skill. However, it turned out differently with Lin Nuo.

The effect of Moonlight Spirit is very abstract. On the surface, it is an auxiliary soul skill that can purify negative effects, such as dizziness, poisoning, and mental control.

However, Lin Nuo actually discovered that if he used this soul skill on himself, not only would it make his mind clearer, but it would also allow him to cultivate his mental strength.

Wait... is my mind clearing up?
Lin Nuo subconsciously touched the top of his head. The sharp point that had been sharp enough to be used as a nail to prick someone, due to the large amount of medicinal herbs he had consumed, had now almost completely disappeared.

Arnold was furious.

Without the pointed tip, wouldn't it be like losing its soul?!

Then he took the initiative to control his hair, making a tuft of hair stand up, and his eyes became clear again.

As for how effective the cultivation of spiritual power is, Lin Nuo is not quite sure yet. During the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, the boundaries between spiritual power realms were too blurred. He could only clearly feel that his spiritual power was improving, but he did not know how much it was improving.

This soul skill is greatly enhanced when cultivating mental power under moonlight.

Good guy.

If I absorb the Blazing Sun Nine-Leaf Lotus, won't I gain an extra ability to temper my body under sunlight?

Is this really a second playthrough of Dragon God?
……

Three years later.

"Love and attachment to the mortal world!!"

Faced with the oncoming torrent of metal, Lin Nuo simply stretched out his hand, and Blue Silver Grass, radiating a golden and silver luster, burst forth from the ground at an extremely fast speed, forming a thick wall.

The moment the wall formed, the attack of the Xiao Meng siblings' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Love in the Mortal World," was already within reach.

But Lin Nuo wasn't flustered.

The fusion skill unleashed by the two Soul Masters was not powerful enough to penetrate his defenses.

As expected, although the attack of Red Dust's Love caused the wall of Blue Silver Grass to twist and dent, the seemingly fragile Blue Silver Grass stubbornly withstood the attack, creating a tug-of-war with Red Dust's Love's offensive.

The first to give in were still the Xiaomeng siblings.

As the torrent of metal dissipated, the giant toad re-divided into two siblings supporting each other, their foreheads covered in fine beads of sweat as they gasped for breath.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill consumes too much energy, not to mention that they persisted until their soul power was exhausted before releasing their attachment to the mortal world in order to win.

This was originally a one-time attack spirit fusion skill, but it was used as a continuous spirit skill. The fact that it wasn't completely drained and could still stand firm already demonstrated the profound foundation of the two siblings. "Not bad, you almost broke through my Blue Silver Grass this time. You've improved!" Lin Nuo nodded with a smile, extending his right hand and making a tiny gesture with his thumb and forefinger.

"Almost? I'd say almost a billion!" Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes.

At first, he actually believed Lin Nuo's lies.

Every time his opponent said "almost, almost," he actually believed it and would go back to train with all his might after each battle, striving to win back next time.

The result was always just a little short.

After all that, it's just like Pinduoduo's "cutting a knife"—that final little bit is the endless distance between being so close and yet so far.

Even Meng Hongchen had some complaints in his heart.

It’s really too bad!
However, Lin Nuo was right. Xiao Meng and her brother were really just a little short of breaking through his Blue Silver Grass wall. After all, he only used his second soul skill, Growth, and at most used Starlight Guardian to repair the Blue Silver Grass.

They did not use the power of the sun and moon from their third and fourth soul skills to strengthen their defense.

It's already quite an achievement to withstand the direct onslaught of worldly attachments.

It's just that Xiaomeng and her brother have improved, and Lin Nuo himself has also improved, which is why in every battle, Hongchen Juanlian is 'almost' able to break through the defense.

"Your soul power level is almost at the Soul King level, isn't it?"

After helping his younger sister over, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but complain.

What made Xiao Hongchen a little unable to hold back was that before Lin Nuo could even answer, Meng Hongchen pushed him away and threw herself into Lin Nuo's arms.

The latter naturally put his arm around Xiaomeng and nodded casually.

"I'm level 48 now, just two levels away from absorbing my fifth spirit ring."

At the same time, the four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—also disappeared into Lin Nuo's body as his martial spirit was retracted.

In three years, Lin Nuo successfully broke through to the Soul Master level, absorbed an 18,000-year-old Blazing Sun Nine-Leaf Lotus as his Soul Ring, and his Soul Power level increased from level 34 three years ago to level 48 today.

Xiao Hongchen, who is the same age, is still at level 34, while Meng Hongchen is at level 31.

It was because Meng Hongchen had broken through to the third ring that Xiao Hongchen felt he had overcome that 'little' gap, which led him to challenge Lin Nuo again, only to end in failure once more.

"What a remarkable birth!" Young Master Xiao looked up at the sky. The arrogance he had shown when he first met Lin Nuo had long since been smoothed out by the latter.

The saying "There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding" is becoming increasingly valuable.

"Arno, when are you planning to start practicing with soul tools?" Meng Hongchen asked, leaning against Lin Nuo's chest.

Compared to the competitive Young Master Xiao, Xiao Meng has a more even temperament and has had more contact with Lin Nuo, so she already knew his level and was not surprised at all.

She was more curious about when Lin Nuo planned to become a Soul Master.

Over the years, they have learned almost everything about basic Soul Masters. Now, any one of the three of them could easily become a Level 1 Soul Master.

Isn't it time for him to come out of seclusion?
