Chapter 52 Frosty Moon Butterfly and Snowfield Ice Phoenix
"One hundred million gold soul coins!"
Shui Jing exclaimed in surprise.
One hundred million gold soul coins were worth a 100,000-year soul bone!
With a wave of his hand, Dugu Bo summoned nearly a hundred pieces of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue onto the snow. He smiled and asked, "Old man Shui, if whale glue couldn't improve a Soul Master's physical attributes, do you think I would have bought so many? Do you think I'd eat them?"
"This...this...."
The barrage of information had made Shui Jing almost entirely believe it.
Beside him, Shui Bing'er pouted and asked Dugu Lin, "Hey~ what is whale glue? It seems like my grandpa is against it."
"Uh...you'll know when you grow up."
"Fine, don't tell me then! Humph~"
A moment later, Dugu Bo withdrew the whale glue and said to Shui Bing'er, "Alright, little Bing'er, Grandpa Dugu won't harm you. After swallowing it, refine its medicinal effects."
This time, Shui Jing hesitated for a moment and did not continue to stop her.
Seeing that her grandfather had no objections, Shui Bing'er went into the tent, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the whale glue. Soon, she felt a burning heat that made her little face turn bright red.
Outside the tent.
Dugu Lin, avoiding Shui Jing, whispered, "Grandpa, didn't we agree not to arrange marriages for our children? Why did you still arrange two for me?"
One is Meng Yiran, and the other is Shui Bing'er.
Besides these two, there is also Ye Lingling, his childhood sweetheart.
Dugu Bo glanced at his grandson and said, "You should be secretly happy!"
"Uh... by the way, does Grandpa Shui know that Meng Yiran and I are also engaged as children?"
Dugu Bo immediately hissed, "Shh~ Grandpa didn't mention it to him, yet he still knows!"
"Sigh~"
Dugu Lin sighed and said speechlessly, "Grandpa, you've really given me a difficult problem! In the future... if Shui Bing'er finds out she's just my concubine, I'm afraid she'll fight me, right?"
When he had first reincarnated, all he thought about was enjoying himself.
Now, when he thought about the reality he had to face, Dugu Lin felt a terrible headache!
Meng Yiran, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling—weren't they all little princesses of their families? Each one was incredibly proud and arrogant. If they knew that they had all been cheated on by the same person, they would definitely have a very strong reaction!
'I can't expose myself yet...' Dugu Lin thought to himself. 'The harvesting of the Acacia Heartbreak Red is urgent! The longer I delay, the easier it is to be exposed! Hmm... I need to further enhance my relationship with Ye Lingling when I get back! It's urgent!'
Time passed quietly, and Shui Jing and the others outside the tent became restless.
Three hours later, when Shui Bing'er successfully refined one-third of the ten-thousand-year whale glue and her body's endurance limit was raised to about one thousand years, Shui Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Shui Jing pondered for a while before discussing with Dugu Bo how to acquire whale glue.
...
Three days later.
"Bing'er, guess what? A three-quarters cooked sesame seed cake and a half-cooked sesame seed cake met on the street. Why didn't they greet each other?"
Why...why?
"Because they're not familiar with each other!"
Shui Bing'er: "..."
Do you know what fruit is the worst for eyesight?
What is it?
"It's a mango!"
Shui Bing'er: "..."
"Bing'er, do you know under what circumstances one plus one equals three?"
Shui Bing'er: "..."
Whoosh~
Just as Dugu Lin was teasing Shui Bing'er, Dugu Bo flew back from a distance, holding a butterfly with a single wing measuring thirty centimeters in length.
Shui Jing, who had been eavesdropping on the two children's conversation, immediately looked away and stared in surprise at the butterfly in Dugu Bo's hand. "Frosty Moon Butterfly! Judging by its age, it's exactly three thousand years old!"
"Frosty Moon Butterfly?"
The current Dugu Lin is not the same Dugu Lin as five years ago. The current Dugu Lin knows very well what kind of soul beast the Frosty Moon Butterfly in front of him really is.
This type of soul beast possesses strong ice elemental support abilities, somewhat similar to the healing abilities of the Emerald Swan. Neither has strong combat power, nor is its self-defense ability high, and it often becomes food for other soul beasts.
The Frosty Moon Butterfly is not easy to survive and is rare; it is truly remarkable that it can grow to the age of three thousand years.
Dugu Bo said with a smile, "Since we couldn't find a soul beast with the Phoenix bloodline, Little Bing'er, you'll have to make do with your second soul ring. This Frosty Moon Butterfly should give you an amplification-type soul skill! Oh, by the way, Old Man Shui, I saw a Snowfield Ice Phoenix in that mountain range. It's no more than ten thousand years old. Remember to hunt that Snowfield Ice Phoenix when Little Bing'er reaches level forty!"
"Snowfield Ice Phoenix?!"
Shui Jing was startled.
The most suitable soul ring for Shui Bing'er is naturally the Ice Phoenix.
However, in Douluo Continent, finding an Ice Phoenix as a soul beast is simply impossible! Because there is no such soul beast.
Therefore, the Snowfield Ice Phoenix, a soul beast that is one level below the Ice Phoenix and possesses the bloodline of the phoenix, is undoubtedly the best choice for Shui Bing'er!
"Thank you, Grandpa Dugu, thank you... and thank you again."
Shui Bing'er looked at Dugu Lin, a shy expression on her pretty face.
"You're welcome." Dugu Lin took the opportunity to ruffle Shui Bing'er's hair; it felt nice to the touch.
The process of absorbing the soul ring of the Frosty Moon Butterfly was not easy. Shui Bing'er endured a full half-day of pain before she finally completed the absorption.
Only after Shui Bing'er woke up did Shui Jing anxiously ask, "Bing'er, how are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Shui Bing'er shook her head and said, "I have successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Frosty Moon Butterfly."
After speaking, Shui Bing'er summoned the Ice Phoenix behind her, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared beneath her feet.
"Gulp~ The second ring of three thousand years, Bing'er... she really did it!" Shui Jing swallowed hard, his emotions running high.
Dugu Lin sensed Shui Bing'er's soul power level and said with a smile, "Soul power level 23, almost the same as mine back then! Whale glue... By the way, Bing'er, what kind of soul skill did you acquire?"
"Just as Grandpa Dugu guessed, it's an amplification-type soul skill! It can increase attack, defense, and ice attribute soul power by 100%! In addition, I also gained the ability to fly!"
"Excellent, excellent!"
Dugu Bo praised.
The three-thousand-year soul ring not only granted Shui Bing'er the ability to fly, but also provided a 100% boost to three attributes! This is equivalent to two soul skills for other soul masters.
Shui Jing was quite satisfied and happily cupped his hands, saying, "Poison Douluo, now that our two families are in-laws, I won't say much more in terms of thanks. From now on, my Shui clan will definitely follow your and Lin'er's lead!"
He was making a statement, indicating that after obtaining this secret, his family was now on the same side as them.
Dugu Bo waved his hand and said, "Then we shall part ways here. My grandson and I still need to gain more experience."
Shui Jing immediately said, "Why don't we take Bing'er with us on this training trip?"
"This…" Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Lin. Their purpose in coming to the Frozen Forest was to hunt a 30,000-year-old Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King!
If Shui Bing'er were to accompany them, wouldn't that expose the fact that Dugu Lin already possessed level forty soul power?
Demonstrating a level 28 soul power is already quite impressive.
With a level 40 soul power, wouldn't that attract the envy of Spirit Hall?
Dugu Lin smiled and said, "Grandpa Shui, I also want to spend more time with Bing'er, but my grandfather and I may not be back for a very long time this time, at least half a year, or at most a year."
"It's been so long... In that case, I'll take Bing'er back with me. Once you return to Heaven Dou, I'll bring Bing'er to pay you a visit."
