Chapter 36

Spirit Hall City, in the Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's main seat, listening to the reports of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and a touch of coldness appeared on her graceful and luxurious face.

"Hmph, I didn't expect the Clear Sky Sect to have so many Titled Douluo after lying dormant for so many years!" She chuckled and said to the two below: "You did well!"

"For this Spirit Hunting Operation, the two of you will lead the Saintess and the others to the Star Dou Great Forest to capture that damn rabbit!"

"This seat awaits your triumphant return! By then, the elders of the Consecration Palace should perhaps change from seven to nine!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's breathing became a bit hurried.

With Bibi Dong's current ruling power in the Spirit Hall, she could definitely do this! The two lowered their heads and bowed: "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, obey the Pope's order!"

【Ding, Danghun Shan soul tempering is opening!】

The scene before Ye Ming changed again, and in an instant, he appeared on a rugged mountain.

The entire mountain was several hundred meters high, constantly emitting a special vibrational fluctuation. This fluctuation could shake the soul and was a dead zone for all living things.

The moment Ye Ming appeared on the mountain, he was hit by this fluctuation.

"Ugh!"

He only felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer, seeing stars.

After a moment of adjustment, he recovered.

Ye Ming found that he was at the foot of the mountain, so he walked towards the mountain against the vibration.

After walking for a while, he looked at his feet, and his eyes lit up.

"To think I found a Gallstone so quickly!"

Gallstones grow on mountain rocks, resembling human gallbladders, with mixed colors. If you don't distinguish carefully, you will just treat it as an ordinary stone.

Ye Ming squatted on the ground, his dark gold Clear Sky Hammer appeared, and with a light tap, he knocked the Gallstone open.

As soon as the Gallstone shattered, a Gu flew out from it, turning into a gray ghost light, and dived into his body.

Ye Ming suddenly felt a clarity in his mind, and a brand-new force supplemented his soul, and even the vibration of Danghun Shan decreased a lot.

The souls of living things are shattered by Danghun Shan, and only after a long time will they form Gallstones.

Ye Ming had experience, looked up, and saw that the Gallstones on the mountain were dense and countless.

Among these Gallstones, only some would hide Gallstone Gu, which could strengthen a person's soul.

"It's just that this Gallstone Gu can only exist for an instant, and will die within an instant. Otherwise, I must pack a pile into the system space!"

Ever since he plucked a lot of Yuelan Flowers last time, every time he encountered this kind of scene, Ye Ming thought about packing them into the system space.

Unfortunately, except for last time, later on, either there wasn't enough time, or they couldn't be packed in at all.

Ye Ming was full of energy at this time, like a miner, knocking and hitting on Danghun Shan with his Clear Sky Hammer, looking for Gallstone Gu to strengthen his soul.

Just in this short while, he had obtained eighteen more Gu insects to supplement himself.

Of course, the soul cannot be strengthened blindly by Gallstone Gu.

Once the soul is not condensed enough, using a large number of Gallstone Gu leading to excessive expansion will be a disaster of no return!

The soul expands to the limit, and in the end, it will only 'bang' and explode, and the soul will fly away!

However, Ye Ming traveled here, and his soul was already much more condensed than ordinary people, and after countless temperings, it was now extremely condensed.

For him right now, using a hundred Gallstone Gu to reach the level of a hundred-person soul was no problem.

A deep soul foundation is beneficial whether it is refining Gu or using Slave Path Gu to enslave herds of beasts. At least for Ye Ming, he no longer had to worry about Tang San's mental attacks like the Purple Demon Eye.

"96, 97... 100!"

"Ah~ comfortable."

Ye Ming shattered the last Gallstone and murmured with satisfaction. At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable, as if his whole person was floating on the clouds.

This kind of soul comfort is more attractive and more enjoyable than the pure desire of listening to music in a brothel!

His soul foundation was many times stronger than it was at the beginning! With a strengthened soul, whether it was thinking about problems or multitasking, he had a feeling of ease.

Looking at the remaining Gallstones at his feet, a voice seemed to ring in Ye Ming's mind.

"One more! Just one last one!"

"This feeling is so cool, let's be cool again!"

But Ye Ming knew that if he used one more Gallstone Gu, his soul would inevitably be overwhelmed and explode! Desire is something that, if not restrained, will lead people into the abyss.

He dissipated the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul without hesitation, his eyes full of calmness.

"Now that I have achieved a hundred-person soul, if I want to improve my soul again, I must condense my soul again!"

"If I can get a Gu that condenses the soul in the future, or go to Luo Po Gu to blow the wind, I think my soul will be solid enough."

Just as Ye Ming was thinking, the scene before him changed with a 'whoosh'. In the blink of an eye, he was back in the cave.

Having experienced so many spatial changes, Ye Ming was already used to it.

After his soul was strengthened, Ye Ming's control over his own strength became more solid.

Now that his cultivation had reached Rank 2 high-grade, it was just right to use that Red Iron Relic Gu together!

Otherwise, when his cultivation grew to Rank 2 peak, this Red Iron Relic Gu would be wasted.

Ye Ming's mind merged into his aperture, and with a thought, the Red Iron Relic Gu that was still floating above the true essence sea exploded directly, turning into a rich true essence, churning in his true essence sea.

A wisp of dark red true essence appeared in the originally deep red true essence sea. As time passed, the true essence in the entire true essence sea began to change.

A day passed quietly, and Ye Ming in the cave opened his eyes quietly.

The true essence in his body had now all turned into dark red true essence!

In the month he had been on the Douluo Continent, he had already become a Rank 2 peak Gu Master! His soul power cultivation had also reached level 30! Ye Ming still had two drops of thousand-year Sacred Soul Liquid that he hadn't used; this time his Gu Master cultivation had skyrocketed by several small levels, and his soul power cultivation would inevitably increase a lot! He had a feeling in his heart that after obtaining the third soul ring, his soul power would undergo a fountain-like growth! At this rate, a God-level awakening might not be impossible to obtain! In the main world, he could also go to compete for the cherry in the scene where ten thousand races compete!

"Hoo~"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Ye Ming threw these thoughts behind him and carefully checked the Gu insects he possessed.

Rank 1: Black Boar Gu.

Rank 2: Water Shield Gu, Shadow Follower Gu, Hidden Scale Gu, White Jade Gu, Four-Flavor Wine Worm, Yumang Gu, Yue Nishang.

Rank 3: Thunder Wing Gu, Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus Gu, Shunfeng Ear Gu, Precious Moon Gu, Wind Moon Wheel Gu.

Rank 4: Blood Skull Gu.

"Although I possess so many Gu insects now, I am not familiar with the use of some of them."

Ye Ming rubbed his chin and thought to himself, "In a life-and-death battle, any negligence will lead to a big mistake!"

"This time entering the Star Dou Great Forest, besides obtaining the soul ring and collecting refining materials, I must skillfully use these Gu insects!"

Humans are the spirits of all things, and Gu are the essence of heaven and earth.

Beasts are terrifying, but the human heart is more poisonous! After thinking clearly, Ye Ming prepared to walk out of the cave to find a suitable soul beast to obtain his third soul ring.

Now Yue Guan and Gui Mei must have returned to Spirit Hall City, so the Spirit Hunting Operation should also start in the near future.

He must also hurry up and try his best to improve his strength.

The next Douluo Continent will be full of turmoil! Without enough strength, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to reap benefits.

Just then, Ye Ming seemed to hear human voices coming from outside, so he hurriedly urged the Shunfeng Ear Gu, and a voice clearly entered his ears.

"Yiran, there seems to be a cave here. Let's go in and rest for a while, wait for your grandfather..."
