Chapter 201: The Method to Return to the Peak, the Upcoming Spirit Master Competition!
Dugu Bo stared at the golden red patterns on the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Kid Lin Mo, what you said earlier is probably true."
"The true essence of this Blue Silver Grass is very likely that of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast."
"Otherwise, its growth speed would never be this unreasonable."
He silently analyzed the situation.
Ordinary plant type Spirit Beasts, even if nourished with blood like Lin Mo's that contained special medicinal properties, would still have limits to how quickly they could grow.
Growth required time.
Energy had to be digested.
Natural bottlenecks had to be broken through.
It was like pouring water into a cup. Once the cup was full, any additional water would simply overflow.
If one wanted the cup to hold more, the cup itself first had to become larger.
That process required accumulation and time. It was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
But this Blue Silver Emperor was completely different.
It did not feel like a small cup that needed to slowly expand.
Instead, it was more like a huge water vat that had already been fully formed, only to become empty due to some unforeseen accident.
For such a container, the spirit power of a hundred year Spirit Beast was merely a shallow layer of water at the bottom.
As long as enough energy was continuously poured into it, the Blue Silver Emperor could rapidly recover without needing to repeatedly break through the same bottlenecks ordinary Spirit Beasts faced.
That was why its cultivation had risen so quickly.
Because of this, Dugu Bo found himself increasingly willing to believe Lin Mo's explanation.
The essence of this Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast was most likely already at the Hundred Thousand Year level.
For some unknown reason, its cultivation had fallen from that height to its current state.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Lin Mo nodded slightly.
"Senior is right. Its situation is indeed very special."
"A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast recultivating like this is probably completely different from ordinary cultivation."
Lin Mo understood Ah Yin's circumstances far better than anyone present.
As the Blue Silver Emperor who had once reached the peak of the Hundred Thousand Year level, Ah Yin was now living a second life rather than truly starting over from nothing.
Before her cultivation recovered to her former peak, theoretically speaking, she should not encounter any genuine bottlenecks.
Her "container" had already been expanded to the Hundred Thousand Year level.
What she needed now was simply enough energy to fill it again.
That was also why, in Lin Mo's memories, Tang San had later been able to use the Blue Silver Domain at its peak to pour a tremendous amount of homologous life energy into Ah Yin, rapidly restoring her cultivation to the Hundred Thousand Year level and helping her regain human form.
What the peak Blue Silver Domain provided was exactly what Ah Yin needed most.
A vast amount of life energy of the same origin that could be absorbed and converted with almost no resistance.
Although Lin Mo did not possess the Blue Silver Domain, that method gave him an idea.
If he could find a similar source of massive, pure, and easily absorbable life energy, perhaps he could truly restore Ah Yin to the Hundred Thousand Year level within a relatively short period of time.
Otherwise, even with the tenfold cultivation speed provided by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, allowing a Blue Silver Emperor currently below the hundred year level to naturally recover all the way to one hundred thousand years would take an absurd amount of time.
Perhaps even thousands of years.
If that were really the case, cultivating Ah Yin would lose most of its value to Lin Mo.
At that moment, Dugu Yan, who had remained silent beside him, frowned.
She looked at the newly formed dark red patterns covering Ah Yin's leaves, then glanced toward the wrist Lin Mo had cut earlier, which had already healed completely.
Worry appeared clearly in her eyes.
"A-Mo, you aren't planning to keep feeding it with your own blood from now on, are you?"
She paused before continuing, her concern growing stronger.
"If that's really your plan, then how much blood would you need to give it before it could recover all the way to a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast?"
Lin Mo froze for a moment.
Then he gave her a helpless smile.
"Sister Yanyan, where did your thoughts wander off to?"
"I only used my blood to help it adapt to the environment here."
"I'm not planning to become its permanent blood supply."
"In my early years, I consumed two ice and fire immortal herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Tender Branch."
"Although their medicinal power has long since been refined and absorbed by my body, traces of their aura still remain in my blood."
Lin Mo glanced toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"The environment here is simply too extreme."
"For a plant that has just been transplanted here, it needs something to help it adapt to the surrounding ice and fire energies."
"My blood served as that catalyst."
"It helped the Blue Silver Emperor adjust more quickly to the environment and allowed its roots to firmly establish themselves here."
"If I really had to feed it through long term bloodletting, wouldn't this Blue Silver Grass turn into some kind of evil plant that survives by drinking human blood?"
"Why would I do something like that?"
Lin Mo shook his head.
His tone softened slightly.
"Besides, Sister Lingling absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone it left behind."
"That means we owe it a favor."
"Within my ability, helping the original owner of that Spirit Bone recover can also be considered repaying part of that favor on Sister Lingling's behalf."
He looked once more at the Blue Silver Emperor.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is an extremely rare treasure land."
"Combined with the small amount of my blood that helped guide it into adapting to this environment, this should already be enough to let it recover its former cultivation as quickly as possible."
Hearing this explanation, Dugu Yan finally relaxed.
A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on her face.
Now that everything inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been handled properly, there was no longer any reason for the group to remain.
Lin Mo took one last look at the Blue Silver Emperor before turning around.
"Senior, Sister Yanyan, Sister Lingling, we should head back."
Dugu Bo nodded.
With a wave of his sleeve, dense spirit power once again enveloped Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, shielding them from the extreme ice and fire energies.
"Let's go."
"It's time to return to Heaven Dou City."
"The Spirit Master Competition is about to begin. You contestants can't afford to keep wandering around outside."
The group immediately set off.
They left the valley containing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and headed toward the outer region of the Sunset Forest.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was about to officially begin.
As the seeded team representing the Heaven Dou Empire division, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team would advance directly to the finals.
They did not need to participate in the preliminary or promotion rounds.
However, all participating teams were still required to attend the opening day of the competition.
That was the rule.
As captain of the Heaven Dou First Team, Lin Mo naturally had to be present.
Otherwise, there would have been no need for him to return to Heaven Dou City in such a hurry.
He could have simply waited until the preliminary and promotion rounds ended, then gone directly to Spirit City for the finals.
But since he was the captain and carried that responsibility, he could not be absent from an occasion where his presence was required.
After returning to Dugu Manor, Lin Mo went straight back to his room.
He needed to organize everything he had gained during this period and adjust his condition for the upcoming Spirit Master Competition.
The furnishings in his room were simple.
A bed.
A desk.
A wardrobe.
Nothing more.
Lin Mo sat down beside the bed.
With a thought, he began examining his own condition as well as Charizard's.
The panel unfolded before his eyes, clearly displaying all the relevant information.
Spirit Power: Rank 62.
Two external Spirit Bones.
Multiple self-created Spirit Skills.
Such a configuration was extraordinary.
Even when compared with every competitor in the entire history of the Spirit Master Competition, Lin Mo's current foundation could only be described as one of a kind.
