Chapter 152: Returning to Lingxue Sacred Land, Wedding Location Confirmed
Upon hearing of the Sun Moon Star Continent, Qian Renxue's pretty face revealed uncontrollable shock.
"Brother Lingxu, I once read a book that said the Spirit Hall seemed to have sent people to explore the ocean from several sea areas for a period of time, but after sending out several batches of Spirit Masters in succession, not a single one returned."
"So there really are other continents! Brother Lingxu, then this trip of yours was truly a massive gain, and you even spread our Lingxue Sacred Land to another continent."
"When I have time, I also want to go and see it."
Lingxu: "Xue'er, there will be an opportunity in the future."
In fact, when returning, Lingxu also recorded the situation of the sea areas and roughly drew a sea map; although it was not professional, at least he made marks on where to go.
It might not be useful to him, but it would be a very good reference for others who want to go to the Sun Moon Star Continent.
Two days passed quietly.
Having accompanied Qian Renxue for two days, there were still many things left unsaid.
However, there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush at this moment; Lingxu also began to inject the new Ocean Heart into the Sea God's Trident.
Only when the Sea God's Trident had the Ocean Heart could it unleash its strongest power.
And this consumed about forty-plus days of Lingxu's time; Lingxu successfully passed the Seven Emotions Trial and recast the Ocean Heart.
At this moment, the Sea God's Trident was complete; if he were to use it in battle now, Lingxu's combat power would reach a higher level.
Therefore, Lingxu was now only one step away from achieving the Sea God position: Bo Saixi's sacrifice.
Bo Saixi was right in front of Lingxu, and the atmosphere was relatively a bit awkward.
To be honest, there were still nine and a half years left for this Ninth Exam, so there was no need to rush.
After a long while, Bo Saixi finally spoke: "Can you wait another nine years?"
In fact, Bo Saixi did not want to sacrifice so early; logically, since Lingxu had reached this step, she should sacrifice to help Lingxu become a god, as this was her ultimate destiny.
Lingxu smiled: "Alright, then let's talk about it after nine years!"
Actually, Lingxu also believed that he could attain the God Position after nine years, once he reached Level 100.
Moreover, it wouldn't work even if she sacrificed now; after all, he had to achieve the Sea God position using the martial soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, so this martial soul was still missing nine Spirit Rings.
Absorbing even one Spirit Ring would take a very long time, and collecting these nine Spirit Rings would take at least two years or so.
Taking a look at the Evil Eye Tyrant in the System Space, Lingxu discovered that this guy spent almost all its time sleeping in the space; this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast had already gone silly.
It could actually serve as the sixth Spirit Ring for his second martial soul, but Lingxu decided to wait a bit longer; in any case, this Spirit Beast was always under his control, and he could take the Spirit Ring whenever he wanted.
However, the fastest way to obtain Spirit Ring tasks now was to get tasks related to Qian Renxue.
For example, helping Qian Renxue complete her Eighth Exam would yield a million-year Spirit Ring, which could be used as the tenth Spirit Ring after reaching Level 100.
Bo Saixi took a deep breath and said: "Thank you!"
Lingxu had originally wanted to say that he didn't need her to sacrifice, but he didn't tell Bo Saixi his thoughts, deciding to wait until after nine years.
"Lingxu, your parents have finished absorbing their Spirit Rings; you can go reunite with them," Bo Saixi said.
Lingxu nodded, then stood up and descended Sea God Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Shui Bing'er and the others were still in the process of absorbing Spirit Rings, while the others were practicing as always, never having stopped.
From afar, Lingxu checked his parents' soul power cultivation through the system.
Because it was a hundred-thousand-year God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, Ling Bufan's soul power had reached the peak of Level 93; of course, this also included his usual accumulation.
As for Luo Xingyue, she had also just reached Level 93.
Together with Qian Renxue, the three were grilling fish at the foot of Sea God Mountain.
"Bufan, your fish-grilling skills are truly too poor; compared to our son, they are far worse. Look, Xue'er isn't even eating much," Luo Xingyue said directly.
Ling Bufan also revealed an awkward expression and said: "Cooking food is indeed a bit difficult; it's better if you do it, Xingyue."
Just at this moment, Lingxu flashed over to their side and said: "Dad, Mom, let me do it; I have secret seasonings here."
"Son!"
"You finally came out."
"Let Mom take a look at you!"
At this moment, Luo Xingyue was the most excited; having not seen him for six or seven years, she naturally missed him very much.
And as she stood up, Luo Xingyue discovered that her son Lingxu was already a head taller than her.
"You've grown up, it's time to take a wife!"
Who would have known that Luo Xingyue would blurt out such a sentence, nearly causing Qian Renxue, who was eating, to choke.
"Mom, Dad! Congratulations to you both for achieving Title status!"
The three gathered and hugged each other.
"Son, that is all thanks to your blessing. Are you really already at Level 99 soul power?" Ling Bufan asked.
Lingxu said: "Yes, Level 99!"
"Then doesn't that mean you will become the Sea God very soon?" Luo Xingyue said.
"Mom, there are still several years left," Lingxu said.
"To become a god, do you have to go to the God Realm?"
Lingxu said: "I do have to go, but when to go is up to me; besides, even after becoming a god, I can bring my family into the God Realm."
"So that's how it is, but there is one thing you must complete before you leave, son," Luo Xingyue said with a serious face.
"What is it?"
Seeing his parents' expressions turn serious, Lingxu was also guessing in his heart what this could be.
At this time, Luo Xingyue glanced at Qian Renxue, then looked at Lingxu and said: "Let us hold a grandson soon."
"This... it's still too early!"
"However, Xue'er and I plan to get married within these two years," Lingxu said, directly announcing the good news.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed red.
Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue were very happy; in their eyes, Qian Renxue had long been their daughter-in-law.
It was just a casual remark, but they hadn't expected the progress to be so fast.
Generally speaking, Spirit Masters marry relatively late, basically after the age of thirty, and are nearly forty by the time they have children.
However, this applies to ordinary Spirit Masters; the more powerful a Spirit Master is, the more this time might be delayed.
Of course, Lingxu and Qian Renxue are not ordinary Spirit Masters.
Now that one is at Jiushijiji and the other at Hunshiliujiji, it can be said that neither of them needs to worry about soul power issues anymore.
So, after cultivating for more than ten years, it is time to properly enjoy themselves.
Therefore, Lingxu does not plan to go looking for a Spirit Ring in the next two or three years; after all, having worked hard on cultivation for so many years, the time they have to spend together has been scarce.
Within two years, he must marry Qian Renxue, and on top of that, the injuries of the Deep Sea Dragon King Long Qi still need about two or three years to recover.
Even with those ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs, it will still take a long time to recover.
Without Long Qi's guidance, it would be too difficult for Lingxu to find a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast in this vast ocean; it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Now, they are just waiting for Shui Bing'er and the other two to successfully absorb their hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings, and then they can return to the Douluo Continent.
Over the next ten days or so, Lingxu also began collecting various unique maritime fruits on Sea God Island; as for seafood, Lingxu plans to collect it along the way while returning.
Keeping them in the System Space can maintain the most perfect freshness.
In the blink of an eye, another two months or so passed, and the three of them finished absorbing their God-Bestowed Spirit Rings within a few days of each other.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu are both at level 84 soul power, while Shui Bing'er reached level 85, surpassing Huo Wushuang in one fell swoop.
In fact, it is mainly because Shui Bing'er's talent is inherently stronger than Huo Wushuang's, and her Sea God God Trial has one more trial than Huo Wushuang's, so this soul power naturally caught up.
……
On the boundless ocean, the Super Dragon Abyss Boat sometimes moves as fast as flight, and sometimes slowly.
Having so many people together is quite lively, and leaving Sea God Island means the special training for everyone has come to an end.
It took about eight days to travel from Sea God Island to Hanhai City, and then Lingxu stayed in Hanhai City for another two days.
During these two days, everyone tasted almost all the seafood that could be eaten in Hanhai City.
Whether in Heaven Dou City or Wuhun City, these things cannot be eaten, and if one really wanted to eat them, they wouldn't be fresh.
Even if they were frozen, they would need to be transported to Wuhun City by ice-attribute Spirit Masters, and low-level ice-attribute Spirit Masters wouldn't be enough; for such a long distance, at least a Soul King is required, and more than one at that.
And a month later, the group returned to the Lingxue Sacred Land.
Today, the members of the Lingxue Sacred Land have exceeded one thousand, and Lingxi had the entire Star Empire collect medicinal herbs on the Sun Moon Star Continent, although it only affected the large cities around Star Capital City.
But within these three or four days, they also provided Lingxu with a large amount of medicinal herbs, among which there was no lack of materials for refining Top-grade Lingxue Pill.
The most important thing is the Star Empire's medicinal herb treasury; there are many good things inside, and Lingxu took a lot.
In the future, when Lingxu is away, they will continue to collect them, and in the future, they will also be given priority for high-grade and even Top-grade Lingxue Pill.
Because only after eating them does one know the effect of this Lingxue Pill; it is truly good, especially the effect of improving one's talent to a certain extent, which is exactly what they need.
Many in the imperial family with average talent can catch up to ordinary geniuses after taking it and practicing the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art.
Originally, their limit was Spirit Douluo, with hope for Title Douluo; those whose limit was Soul Saint could reach Spirit Douluo with effort, and Title Douluo was not impossible to strive for.
The Top-grade Lingxue Pill raised their talent ceiling, and the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art gave them infinite possibilities.
Therefore, Xingyi values this Top-grade Lingxue Pill extremely highly.
Of course, exchanging for this Top-grade Lingxue Pill also requires paying a price.
Lingxu does not want Gold Soul Coins or resources for manufacturing Soul Guidance Devices; he only wants medicinal herbs, and he categorized the preciousness of the herbs he provided to use them for exchange.
For example, a well-preserved ten-thousand-year medicinal herb can be exchanged for two pills if it is precious, and other ordinary ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs can be exchanged for one.
And the medicinal herbs Lingxu gets back in exchange for two or three Lingxue Pill can refine at least dozens of Top-grade Lingxue Pill.
Using the power of a nation to collect medicinal herbs for oneself—why not?
So, Lingxu spent the next half month in the Lingxue Sacred Land continuously refining pills, producing nearly ten thousand pills, with over one thousand being Top-grade Lingxue Pill.
Even so, this did not consume the medicinal herbs Lingxu brought back from the Sun Moon Star Continent.
"Brother Lingxu, you've been refining pills for a month, you must be tired. Come over and have some snacks I made." Just as Lingxu stepped out, Qian Renxue walked over carrying a box.
Lingxu said in surprise: "Xue'er, you can make snacks too?"
Qian Renxue nodded and said: "I just learned. This past month, I have been learning to cook from Auntie Xingyue. Taste it and see how I did. In the future, I can't let you, Brother Lingxu, always cook for me; I should also do something."
Having such realization made Lingxu look at Qian Renxue with admiration.
"Then I'll have a taste!" Lingxu picked up a piece and ate the whole thing directly.
"The taste is not bad, but..."
"But what?" Qian Renxue asked immediately.
Lingxu said: "There's a little too much sugar!"
"No way, I followed the ratio, and others said it was just right after tasting it. It's about the same as what you used to make, Brother Lingxu, so how could it be too much?"
Qian Renxue was also puzzled, not knowing the reason.
Lingxu showed a smile and said: "That's because this sugar has sweetened my heart; my heart is sweet."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed slightly.
For some reason, when she was with Lingxu before, Qian Renxue and Lingxu didn't interact like this.
Now, as they spend time together, a single action or a single word from Lingxu might make her shy.
Perhaps it is because they haven't seen each other for a long time, or perhaps they have both grown up now.
Lingxu is already twenty-three, and Qian Renxue is twenty-one.
They are no longer children.
They understand some things very well.
Lingxu said: "Xue'er made them very well, even better than what I make."
After saying this, Lingxu took out another piece and ate it; Qian Renxue's way of doing things was not something an ordinary person could compare to, and even when she went into the kitchen, the things she made were just as good.
It wouldn't reach the point where Lingxu had to eat something bad and still be forced to say it was good, but in reality, it was truly good.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was also happy.
"As long as you think it's delicious, Brother Lingxu."
Lingxu added: "We have already prepared almost everything here at Lingxue Sacred Land; how about we set off the day after tomorrow?"
"Go where?" Qian Renxue asked.
Lingxu said: "Naturally, to Wuhun City, to find Qian Yeye, to get the engagement settled first, and then make preparations."
"Xue'er, where would you like to hold the wedding venue?" Lingxu asked.
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said: "Brother Lingxu, how about we hold it at Lingxue Sacred Land? After all, this is our force. Moreover, our soul power has increased so much, including the uncles and aunts who have all reached the level of Title Douluo. I want to hold this wedding at Lingxue Sacred Land to showcase the power of the Sacred Land; after all, it has only just passed one thousand people after developing for so many years."
【Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering a system mission: Shock the world on the day of the wedding with Qian Renxue and increase the popularity of Lingxue Sacred Land. Mission rewards: 100,000-year Spirit Ring *5, one set of teleportation arrays (teleportation range within one million kilometers), one set of Lingxue Sacred Land branch formation facilities, and randomly obtain four 100,000-year guardian Spirit Beasts!】
With Qian Renxue saying it like that, the system actually gave a mission, and the rewards were such that Lingxu simply could not refuse.
"Alright Xue'er, actually I had the same intention, so let's do it that way."
Hearing the system's mission, even if it weren't being held at Lingxue Sacred Land, he would have had to bring it here to be held.
