Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 8 Embracing all rivers, encompassing all things in the universe

Scorching hot.

Aching and swelling.

A tearing, excruciating pain shot through my entire body.

Lin Nuo, who was absorbing the spirit ring, had no time to think about anything else. Instead, he focused on resisting the pain and refining the massive spirit power that the spirit ring was transmitting into his body.

There was something Lin Nuo didn't understand, and Jing Hongchen didn't notice it either.

That is, the Azure Vine that Lin Nuo burned alive with fire was not just over a thousand years old, but a full seventeen hundred years old.

A soul ring of this age is more than enough to serve as the third soul ring for most Soul Masters.

Lin Nuo didn't know because of his limited knowledge, and Jing Hongchen didn't notice because by the time he saw it, the Tianqing Vine had already been almost completely burned.

It's difficult to tell how old a soul beast is just by its aura, since soul beasts have varying aura strengths. For example, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, despite having only 15,000 years of cultivation, has an aura that completely overwhelms 90% of 10,000-year-old soul beasts.

Even those powerful soul beasts that are seventy or eighty thousand years old.

But can you really say that its spirit ring is 70,000 or 80,000 years old?
That's definitely not realistic.

Lin Nuo is now essentially absorbing his second soul ring across a full thousand years of time limits. In addition, the Azure Vine was burned alive by flames, which are the most feared thing for plants, so you can imagine how much resentment it harbors.

Therefore, the energy inside this spirit ring is incredibly violent.

Whether Lin Nuo's reckless attempt to absorb the spirit ring was due to his superior skills and daring or his ignorance and fearlessness is hard to say, but it certainly fits his current situation of being a sharp-minded person.

Anything that can make him stronger is medicine. Even if it's not medicine in the eyes of the Medicine Saint Body, it doesn't matter. He thinks it's medicine, and medicine has to be strong and potent to be effective!
Clearly, this spirit ring is powerful and formidable.

Lin Nuo was very satisfied.

Lin Nuo's body, which had been taking medication for a long time, was finally strong enough to withstand the impact of the soul ring energy. Lin Nuo's will was also strong enough to endure the pain, digest and control the soul power in his body, and prevent it from running rampant and causing damage.

Otherwise, even if his physical strength is sufficient, if he cannot control the soul power within his body, he will be turned into a giant firework by the rampaging soul power.

The moon rises and sets, the sun rises and the moon sets.

A whole day passed just like that, and Lin Nuo, whose body was covered in a layer of blood, was coming to the end of the process of absorbing the soul ring.

To be honest, Xiao Hongchen felt like his worldview had been completely shattered. Someone had actually managed to absorb a soul ring across levels right in front of him, absorbing a thousand-year soul ring at the Great Soul Master stage.

He looked at Jing Hongchen with eyes that were clear yet tinged with a hint of naiveté, as if to say:

Grandpa, I want to learn this.

Jing Hongchen: Shut up, I want to learn too.

The prison mirror was also a little numb. When he first saw Lin Nuo covered in blood, he had even gathered his soul power and was ready to interrupt his absorption process.

It's true that Jing Hongchen wanted to see Lin Nuo's limits, but it's also true that she didn't want a genius to perish. If Lin Nuo failed to absorb the power, Jing Hongchen would certainly be disappointed, but she wouldn't just stand by and watch him die.

At most, her opinion of Lin Nuo would drop significantly, and she wouldn't value him as much anymore.

The problem is, Lin Nuo successfully absorbed it!

The river of history rolls ever onward, and the geniuses of the Soul Masters are passed down from generation to generation.

It's not uncommon for people to absorb spirit rings from higher-level opponents, but those people all possessed top-tier spirits, the most powerful of the powerful. But... Blue Silver Grass?

Jing Hongchen vaguely remembered that there used to be a so-called number one sect on the Douluo Continent, which focused on cultivating Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, but that sect seems to have been abandoned now.

Lin Nuo was able to cultivate a martial spirit that even the entire sect couldn't nurture, while simultaneously absorbing power beyond his own level...

"Very good, I see your value." Jing Hongchen nodded in satisfaction.

the other side.

After absorbing the power, Lin Nuo first felt his soul power, which had reached level twenty-three, and then checked the soul skills attached to the second soul ring of the Azure Vine based on the imprint in his martial soul.

Second Soul Skill: Growth.

It's a very pure soul skill. Its effect is to use the life force stored in the Blue Silver Grass, or Lin Nuo's own soul power, to grow without limit. As for how it grows, it depends entirely on Lin Nuo's own ideas.

This soul skill essentially amplifies the Blue Silver Grass's instincts, making it easier for Lin Nuo to control it.

Just like Tang San's soul skills related to the manipulation of Blue Silver Grass, such as Entanglement, Parasite, Spider Web Binding, Spider Web Cage, and Blue Silver Overlord Spear, Lin Nuo could achieve similar results by spending some soul power and life force.

Furthermore, as long as Lin Nuo's imagination is rich enough, he can also accomplish things like creating a vast and varied landscape or turning a single tree into a forest.

In a sense, the Growth Soul Skill can also be seen as a weapon spirit clone of a weapon spirit.

Considering that this spirit ring originated from the Azure Vine, it's not so surprising that Lin Nuo was able to obtain this spirit skill.

"Growth? That's an unexpected soul skill. Although it doesn't directly enrich my abilities, it makes it easier for me to develop the Blue Silver Grass." Lin Nuo opened his eyes and looked down at the Blue Silver Grass growing in his palm.

The tiny Blue Silver Grass has undergone a complete transformation since it first awakened.

Compared to its original state as a roadside weed, it now has not only added starlight to its leaves, but also a faint golden and silver luster to its veins. This is a characteristic brought by the Shining Star Tree.

Then this characteristic was amplified by the spirit ring of the Azure Vine.

Without a specific attribute, once an attribute is added to Blue Silver Grass, and its origin is strengthened and nourished with life force, the acquired ability will also grow accordingly.

Just like Lin Nuo now.

That's how martial spirit cultivation works: find a suitable path, then steadfastly follow it, allowing the martial spirit to continuously grow and strengthen within its comfort zone.

"Blue Silver Grass truly lives up to its reputation as the most adaptable plant. Your first two soul rings were indeed very well chosen, and it's already developing in a positive direction," Jing Hongchen commented.

"Or rather, it's more appropriate to describe its development as 'evolution.' A low starting point means a large space for growth. As long as it receives enough nourishment, it will bring you equivalent surprises."

Every Soul Master is a scholar, and Jing Hongchen is one of the best among them.

He was certainly not foolish enough to think that Lin Nuo's was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

Every living thing can mutate or evolve, and the Evil Eye Clan in the Demon Forest is the best proof of this. This clan has all kinds of attributes, but in the end they will only develop towards a pure single attribute.

Discard unnecessary burdens and focus on the right path.

In Jing Hongchen's view, Lin Nuo's Blue Silver Grass was the exact opposite: one strived to become 'one', while the other aimed to become 'ten thousand'.

"The ocean embraces all rivers, and all things in the universe?"
