Chapter 93: Spirit Eyes? Yes, Spirit Eyes!
The first of the four to finish refining the medicinal power and step out of seclusion was Ye Linyuan, who possessed the cultivation of an eight ring Spirit Douluo.
After refining and absorbing the medicinal power of the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb, Ye Linyuan's cultivation had risen from Rank 86 to Rank 88, and there was still a faint trend of further improvement.
For Ye Linyuan, this was a complete and unexpected surprise.
At his age, the speed of spirit power cultivation had already become extremely slow. Yet by relying on the power of the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb, not only had he raised his cultivation to Rank 88, but his foundation had also been further solidified, giving him the possibility of advancing even further in the future.
Thinking of this, a flash of joy crossed Ye Linyuan's eyes.
Looking at it this way, perhaps he could also try touching the realm of Titled Douluo?
The next to come out was Ye Lingling, who had completed the absorption of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
With the help of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid's medicinal power, her cultivation had reached the Rank 30 bottleneck as expected.
Furthermore, Ye Lingling could clearly feel that her current spirit power was definitely higher than Rank 30. It was only because she had not obtained her third spirit ring yet that the hidden spirit power temporarily could not reveal itself.
"Yanyan and Xiao Mo haven't finished absorbing yet?" Ye Linyuan looked toward the rooms where Dugu Yan and Lin Mo were staying and asked.
"Not yet." Dugu Bo shook his head.
"However, judging from my experience after consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Yanyan may need quite a long time to absorb those two Earth Dragon Golden Gourds."
"As for Lin Mo, I'm not too sure. I don't know much about the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew he consumed."
"That shouldn't be the case."
Ye Linyuan looked toward Lin Mo's room, his tone filled with confusion.
"If judged purely by the quality of the Immortal Herb, the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew should be slightly inferior to the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid Lingling consumed."
"And because of Xiao Mo's second Martial Soul, his digestion and absorption abilities should be much stronger than those of Spirit Masters at the same Rank. Logically speaking, he should have finished absorbing it before Lingling."
Ye Linyuan had spent over two hours initially absorbing the medicinal power of the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb. Ye Lingling had only been slightly slower, taking just over three hours.
But now, another two hours had passed, and there was still no sign of Lin Mo ending his seclusion.
Ye Lingling, however, looked thoughtfully toward Lin Mo's room.
The current situation gave her a strong sense of déjà vu.
It seemed the same thing had happened when Lin Mo absorbed his second spirit ring.
At first, she had thought Lin Mo would finish in only one or two hours.
In the end, Lin Mo's absorption of a single spirit ring had lasted from morning all the way until evening.
Back then, Ye Lingling had not thought much of it. She had only assumed that because the spirit ring's age and quality were both rather high, it had been more troublesome for Lin Mo to absorb.
Only later did she learn from Lin Mo that it was because he had also absorbed an external Spirit Bone, causing his second Martial Soul to undergo an evolution. That was why the process had taken so long.
Could it be the same this time?
A flash of anticipation crossed Ye Lingling's beautiful purple eyes.
Although they were still somewhat worried, neither Dugu Bo nor Ye Linyuan stepped forward to disturb Lin Mo.
From what they could sense, Lin Mo's current condition was very stable, and his aura was slowly rising at a steady pace.
Only then did their anxious hearts gradually settle.
Time flew by, and another full three hours passed.
Inside the room, Lin Mo, who had been sitting cross legged, finally opened his eyes. In that instant, his pitch black pupils suddenly erupted with a sharp, intimidating light.
Just as he had predicted, after consuming the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew and completely refining its medicinal power, his mental force had improved greatly.
In the next moment, Lin Mo subconsciously focused his attention and looked at the wooden door not far away.
Suddenly, the details of the wooden door seemed to enlarge in his eyes.
He could even see the grain and texture of the wood, details that would have been invisible to an ordinary person.
Improving mental force was only a secondary effect of the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew. Its primary effect was to strengthen a Spirit Master's eyesight and eyes.
After being strengthened by the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew, Lin Mo's vision already allowed him to notice details he could never have seen under normal circumstances.
In the next moment, Lin Mo focused his attention on himself.
This time, what slowly surfaced in his vision was his own status panel.
[Lin Mo]
[Age: 9 and a half years old]
[Spirit Power: Lv32 (Shared)]
[Spirit: Body Martial Soul (five viscera and six bowels, blood, eyes, brain)]
[Spirit Bone: external Spirit Bone, Crimson Heart]
[Self Created Spirit Skill: Blood Burst (Second Stage, Heart Burning)]
When Lin Mo clearly saw that the Body Martial Soul line had gained "eyes" and "brain" in addition to the five viscera and six bowels and blood, his hanging heart finally settled.
Sure enough, the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew was indeed one of the Immortal Herbs that resonated highly with his Body Martial Soul. It had allowed his Body Martial Soul to undergo another awakening, adding two new body parts.
Although this was somewhat beyond Lin Mo's expectations, he felt relieved when he recalled that, in another time and space ten thousand years later, Huo Yuhao had relied on the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew to help his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul complete a silver level second awakening of the Body Martial Soul.
If he remembered correctly, the body parts corresponding to Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Body Martial Soul should have been the eyes and brain.
The Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew in that other time and space had helped Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes complete a second awakening, and now it had helped Lin Mo awaken the eyes and brain parts of his Body Martial Soul.
This truly was a wonderful Immortal Herb, like timely rain after a drought.
His current Body Martial Soul could now be considered to have gained the equivalent of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes.
It allowed his Body Martial Soul, which had originally taken blood and qi as its primary attribute, to gain an additional mental attribute.
No wonder the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew had been able to raise his mental force to its current level. It had directly solved one of his future concerns.
Lin Mo had originally planned to attempt absorbing a ten thousand year spirit ring in his fourth spirit ring position.
The two major requirements for absorbing a ten thousand year spirit ring early in the fourth spirit ring position were physical strength and mental force.
The former ensured that when a Spirit Master absorbed a spirit ring beyond their level, their body would not be destroyed by the violent energy contained within the spirit ring.
The latter ensured that the Spirit Master could successfully withstand the spiritual shock unique to ten thousand year spirit rings, preventing their spiritual sea from being destroyed and turning them into an idiot even if they barely survived the initial impact.
By relying on the physical advantages brought by twin spirits, as well as the improvements from Whale Glue, Lin Mo was confident that before his cultivation reached Rank 40 and he became a quasi Spirit Ancestor, he would meet the physical requirements.
The only thing that had made him somewhat apprehensive and uncertain was the spiritual shock.
After all, under normal circumstances, only after a Spirit Master's cultivation reached Rank 50 would both the body and spirit tend toward maturity. At that point, the danger brought by spiritual shock would be greatly reduced.
The simplest way to deal with spiritual shock was to raise one's mental force to a sufficiently high level.
Under normal circumstances, even a three ring Spirit Elder with a mental attribute would possess mental force exceeding that of an ordinary six ring Spirit Emperor.
For Lin Mo, the problem of spiritual shock had been directly resolved the moment his Body Martial Soul gained the Spirit Eyes portion.
Once his cultivation steadily reached Rank 40, no special techniques would be needed.
With the sheer strength of his mental force alone, even if he had to endure it directly, he would be able to withstand the spiritual shock of a ten thousand year spirit ring and successfully complete the absorption.
