Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 80: Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King

Hearing Lu Chen’s question, the old man’s face revealed a hint of pride:

"My original form is a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, named Ziyang Life-Returning Ginseng. Each grade represents ten thousand years of cultivation. As a Ninth Grade Ginseng King, I was born with ninety thousand years of cultivation."

"I only had to Cultivate for ten thousand years to become a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast, mastering all sorts of magical skills: Earth Burrowing, Transformation, Damage Transfer, Healing Wounds and Removing Illnesses..."

Speaking until the end, the old man’s mood began to grow dejected:

"As a ginseng, even though I possess heaven-defying cultivation, I cannot learn any offensive skills; I only have some self-preservation abilities."

"In this Star Dou Great Forest, which ten thousand year Spirit Beast or one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast hasn’t set their sights on me, wanting to swallow me to increase their cultivation and become even stronger?"

"But no one could catch me. In this forest, I could use Earth Burrowing to leave at any time. Today, I ran into you, a human brat, and you actually poisoned the soil. I truly have fallen into your trap."

"I do not want to be killed. Once Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering happens, I will be completely finished. As long as you swear now that when you have the ability to bring the dead back to life, you will immediately resurrect me and return my freedom, I will sacrifice myself to you right now."

While the old man was speaking, Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan, and the two walked over to this side.

Dugu Bo heard the old man’s words and revealed an expression of amazement:

"So this is a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast. This is the first time in my life I have seen one. A Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, where each grade is ten thousand years of cultivation; it is truly breathtaking."

"It is a pity it has no combat ability. I hadn’t even made a move, and this Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King had already been subdued."

Dugu Yan looked at Lu Chen without blinking, her small face beaming with smiles, genuinely feeling happy for Lu Chen:

"Lan Chen, congratulations! It looks like you are about to possess a one hundred thousand year eighth spirit ring."

Lu Chen turned his head to look at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan and said:

"Big Brother Dugu, Yan Yan, after the sacrifice begins in a moment, I will have to trouble you both to act as my Protector."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Afterwards, Lu Chen looked at the old man and said with a serious face:

"I can accept your proposal. As long as you are willing to sacrifice yourself to me, when I have the ability to bring the dead back to life, I will definitely resurrect you and return your freedom."

"I hope you do not try any tricks. The person beside me is a Titled Douluo; if you make any untoward moves, he can take your life at any moment."

The old man looked at Dugu Bo, a trace of wariness clearly appearing in his eyes:

"I smell a familiar scent on you. The deadly poison beneath the ground was placed by you, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded and admitted it very calmly.

The old man’s complexion was extremely ugly. If it weren’t for the deadly poison Dugu Bo used, he wouldn’t have ended up in this predicament.

Relying on his Earth Burrowing ability, he could come and go as he pleased; he would never have been caught by anyone.

After a while, the old man looked at Lu Chen again, with an expression of complete resignation:

"I will honestly sacrifice myself, but I hope you can make a formal oath, otherwise I cannot rest assured."

Lu Chen thought for a moment. For a one hundred thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, swearing an oath was fine:

"I swear by my Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul: as long as the Ziyang Life-Returning Ginseng sacrifices itself to me, once I possess the ability to bring the dead back to life, I will definitely resurrect it and return its freedom. If I violate this oath, may my Spirit shatter and my cultivation never progress an inch for the rest of my life."

Hearing Lu Chen’s oath, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would lose all his cultivation, at least he could save his life:

"My cultivation is now yours!"

As his voice fell, an infinite purple light suddenly burst forth from the old man’s body. A terrifying energy fluctuation quickly sealed the surrounding world, forming a special barrier.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were blasted away by that energy, leaving only Lu Chen inside the barrier.

This old man indeed possessed one hundred thousand years of cultivation. At this moment, as he released his one hundred thousand years of cultivation, even Dugu Bo felt a tightness in his chest, and as for Dugu Yan, she even felt difficulty breathing.

If it weren’t for the fact that all of this old man’s skills were focused on self-preservation,

it would have been absolutely impossible for Lu Chen to take down a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast without going through a fierce battle.

And inside the special barrier!

The old man’s figure gradually became transparent. This was because as the sacrificial process began, the energy in the old man’s body was being rapidly extracted.

That massive amount of extracted energy was continuously pouring into Lu Chen’s body.

Lu Chen only felt a surging and massive wave of energy rapidly sweeping through his body, filling his Meridians to the brim.

Because the old man had actively sacrificed himself, this massive energy hardly needed to be refined; it actively merged into his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Under the scouring of the energy, every cell in his body was undergoing a rebirth, experiencing round after round of strengthening, making him feel that he was becoming stronger every single moment.

It was not just a transformation of the body!

It also included a transformation of the Spirit!

The massive energy of the one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast nourished Lu Chen in every aspect; from his body to his Soul, he was undergoing a rebirth-like strengthening.

Lu Chen felt his Spirit lift and exerted all his strength to drive the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, beginning to accelerate the absorption of that massive energy.

He felt a warmth inside and outside his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

Time seemed to lose its meaning. By the time Lu Chen came back to his senses,

it had already been twelve hours!

After absorbing for an entire day, Lu Chen successfully absorbed the old man’s spirit ring and Spirit Bone. Because the old man had actively sacrificed himself, Lu Chen did not even feel the slightest bit of pain.

Just then, Lu Chen opened his pair of clear, azure eyes, which were flashing with dazzling brilliance.

He rose from the ground and casually stretched his limbs, and a sound like popping beans erupted from his entire body.

"How refreshing! Power is surging up from my body continuously!"

Lu Chen sighed with emotion, then carefully sensed his own spirit power:

"My spirit power soared directly from level 80 to level 84. Great, this has saved me at least half a year of Cultivate time."

At the same time, seeing that Lu Chen had woken up, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who were standing in the distance, immediately walked over and offered their congratulations.

Dugu Bo could not suppress his curiosity and asked:

"Lan Chen, a one hundred thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone are recognized treasures in the Spirit Master’s world. After absorbing a one hundred thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, what improvements have they brought you?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen could not suppress the corners of his mouth from curling up; he was simply too happy. He did not hide anything and said very frankly:

"Let’s talk about the Spirit Bone skills first. This one hundred thousand year Ziyang Life-Returning Ginseng gave me a left leg bone. There are two skills in the left leg bone: one is Earth Burrowing, and the other is Transformation."

"Earth Burrowing, as the name implies, allows me to dive into the earth. In the future, when I encounter enemies, as long as I hide in the ground, basically no one can do anything to me."

"Transformation can change the body from the inside out. The old man from before, his original form was a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King. He was a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast, but he did not undergo human transformation and re-cultivation; it was precisely by relying on this Transformation skill that he was able to turn himself into a human form."

Lu Chen had the disguise ability of the Blue Silver Domain, but that disguise ability, to put it bluntly, was just putting on a mask for himself; his body did not undergo any essential changes.

However, this Transformation ability can truly change the body. It can not only turn into other people but even into Spirit Beasts. Of course, I cannot obtain the abilities of others or Spirit Beasts; I only thoroughly change into the appearance of others or Spirit Beasts.
