章 80: Chapter 80: The Gains from the Storage Ring
Chapter 80: The Gains from the Storage Ring
A full day and night had passed since Mo Yu's fierce battle with the Dou Grandmaster. Thanks to the gentle nourishment of the Vermilion Bird Scorching Sky Lightning, Mo Yu's condition was gradually improving.
As his meridians and muscles healed and returned to normal, the warm energy flowing through his body slowly dissipated. When the external energy finally faded away completely, Mo Yu broke through the darkness in his consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.
"Such pain!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Mo Yu was hit by a splitting headache, as if his mind was being torn apart.
"It seems I was too reckless in using the soul technique," Mo Yu muttered, his face pale as he held his head.
For most people, depleted Dou Qi was a serious problem that could take a long time to recover. But for Mo Yu, who had the Vermilion Bird Scorching Sky Lightning for nourishment and the special constitution of the Thunder Armor Body, recovery wasn't so complicated.
However, the depletion of his soul energy was a much trickier issue. Although soul techniques function similarly to combat techniques, they place a much greater demand on soul power. This is one reason why most soul techniques have been lost on the Dou Qi Continent.
Mo Yu, possessing the soul power of a third-grade alchemist, found that using a mid-level Xuan-rank soul technique drained his energy as much as an Earth-rank combat technique would drain Dou Qi.
Without external help, the exhaustion of his soul energy was proving to be a significant challenge.
"Wait, Xiao Yixian gave me some herbs that could help restore soul power," Mo Yu suddenly remembered, his black eyes lighting up.
Recalling this, Mo Yu endured the pain in his head and retrieved six jade bottles given to him by Xiao Yixian from his storage ring.
Scanning the six bottles, his gaze stopped on the second bottle from the left, which contained a thin, mist-covered, needle-like green herb. A smile crept onto his lips.
"Revival Grass!"
Although this herb was only a mid-tier medicinal ingredient, worth a few thousand gold coins, it had a certain restorative effect on soul energy.
While it couldn't fully restore Mo Yu's depleted soul power, it wasn't useless either. Moreover, Mo Yu had a recipe in mind that could maximize the herb's potency.
Half a day later, in the spacious cave, the walls were lined with torches for illumination. Mo Yu sat cross-legged, tightly holding a white jade bottle. The liquid inside was a pale green. When he shook the bottle slightly, he could sense a pure energy within the green liquid.
"The Revival Spirit Liquid is finally ready."
In his previous life, Mo Yu often exhausted his soul power due to overuse, so he had always paid close attention to remedies for restoring soul energy.
While the Revival Grass wasn't of a high grade, the Revival Spirit Liquid refined from it was quite effective and could even be considered a second-tier elixir.
With a slight smile, Mo Yu wasted no time, downing the pale green liquid in one gulp.
As the liquid entered his body, he immediately felt a gentle energy spreading into the depths of his mind. The pain in his head eased significantly, and his depleted soul energy began to slowly recover.
Though the recovery process was slow—less than one-tenth the speed of Dou Qi recovery—Mo Yu was satisfied.
After all, soul energy, unlike Dou Qi, was an elusive and intangible force, making it far more complex to use and restore.
After half an hour, when the effects of the Revival Spirit Liquid finally wore off, Mo Yu opened his eyes slowly.
"It's a pity I don't have more Revival Grass," he sighed, shaking his head. The depletion of his soul energy was severe. While the Revival Spirit Liquid had helped, it wasn't enough.
"Well, I'll just have to recover the rest slowly."
Mo Yu stretched lazily. Though he wasn't one to complain, the Revival Grass had already done a lot for him. The remaining soul depletion would have to be dealt with gradually.
After resting for another hour to stabilize his internal energy, Mo Yu opened his eyes and took out a pale green storage ring from his robe.
This ring was the one he had seized after Mo Yin's arm was blown off in the explosion caused by the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword.
The reason Mo Yu had been able to control the explosion of the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword was that he had mastered a secret technique called the "Weapon Explosion Technique."
This technique was useless in direct combat but could embed a hidden seal into a weapon during its forging. The seal was so well concealed that only the weapon's creator could detect it. Once activated, the weapon would instantly disintegrate and explode.
In his previous life, Mo Yu, despite being a master weapon forger, had many enemies. After nearly being killed by a weapon he had crafted himself, Mo Yu developed the Weapon Explosion Technique as a countermeasure.
This skill had become second nature to him after his rebirth, and he had instinctively placed a seal on the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword. He hadn't expected it to come in handy.
Reflecting on the unpredictability of fate, Mo Yu felt a deep-seated killing intent towards Mo Yin and the Mo family.
If it weren't for his powerful techniques, he might have perished there!
After a moment, Mo Yu suppressed his killing intent and began examining the storage ring.
The ring wasn't of high quality, just a low-tier storage ring. However, it was the property of a Dou Grandmaster, so Mo Yu was still interested.
His soul power easily penetrated the ring, and when he noticed a long, thin object emitting a faint golden glow in the corner, a smile spread across his face.
"The Supreme Profound Gold Thread!"
This was one of the last two materials Mo Yu needed to forge the Fire Confinement Shield. He hadn't expected to find it in Mo Yin's storage ring.
Before he could fully appreciate his luck, Mo Yu discovered a third-tier magic core in the ring, making him marvel at how fortune favored those who survive deadly trials.
Mo Yin had been the first real challenge Mo Yu had faced since his rebirth, causing him significant trouble.
But thanks to his various techniques, Mo Yu had successfully overcome the danger and gained valuable rewards.
A third-tier magic beast was equivalent in strength to a Dou Grandmaster, making third-tier magic cores far more valuable than second-tier ones. In Wutan City, such cores were incredibly rare.
With this third-tier magic core, Mo Yu could quickly advance to the nine-star Fighter level.
After thoroughly searching the ring, Mo Yu found only some low-tier pills and gold coins, nothing particularly valuable. He wasn't surprised by this.
Though Mo Yin was a Dou Grandmaster, he was also an assassin. It wouldn't make sense for him to carry all his belongings while on a mission. Finding the Supreme Profound Gold Thread and a third-tier magic core was already a stroke of luck.
Mo Yu transferred everything from the pale green storage ring to his Beast Ring before placing the ring back in his robe.
Mo Yu then realized he was now deep within the Magic Beast Mountain Range, having been forced to flee here to escape Mo Yin.
Unlike the outer regions, the inner parts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range were home to many high-tier magic beasts. Fifth-tier and even sixth-tier beasts were not uncommon.
Over the next few days, Mo Yu spent most of his time training in the safety of the cave, occasionally venturing out to hunt low-tier magic beasts to supplement his food supply.
Having found a safe place to stay, free from Mo Yin's assassination attempts, Mo Yu's cultivation progressed smoothly. His Dou Qi grew increasingly refined, like well-aged wine.
A month after awakening from his coma, Mo Yu's soul power had fully recovered and even improved slightly.
Finally ready to break through, Mo Yu used the Mysterious Thunder to absorb the third-tier magic core. The violent energy contained within the core provided a feast for the Vermilion Bird Scorching Sky Lightning, causing it to grow rapidly.
With the help of the Mysterious Thunder, Mo Yu successfully broke through to the nine-star Fighter level, now just one step away from becoming a Dou Master.
As he stood up, before he could celebrate, a sudden surge of energy and a deafening roar resembling a lion's cry thundered through the sky.
"Could this be… the aura of a Dou Emperor?"
