Yun Lianjin and Ning Rongrong played outside for an hour. Although the cold breeze at night could make one catch a fever, it didn't matter to Yun Lianjin and Ning Rongrong whose physique was far stronger than a mere earthling.
After all, living in a world filled with spirit power, even if one isn't a soul master, they would still be nourished by spirit power just by being exposed to it.
The two of them were currently resting on the grassy field as they catch their breath. They ran around the field for almost an hour, playing catch with each other so they were physically exhausted.
Sitting on the ground in a lotus position, Yun Lianjin meditated to use his spirit power to improve the recovery of his body. As much as he wanted to cultivate using the cultivation realms of Apotheosis, he didn't have resources at hand which he could use to refine his mortal body.
The first cultivation realm in the Apotheosis multiverse was Body Refinement Layer and it has five stages. Mainly the skin, flesh, bone, viscera, and marrow. Those five stages represented the refinement of the human body, to make it more suitable for cultivation.
Fortunately, his third martial soul, or Immortal Apotheosis Body allowed him to cultivate the cultivation realms of Apotheosis without having to worry about using spirit power instead of gang energy.
'I should be able to get some spiritual herbs from Dugo Bo's medicine garden.'
'If Dugo Bo and I have a battle with each other, I will lose since I am currently the weakest titled douluo. Even if Dugo Bo is weak in single combat and only powerful in group combat, he can still defeat me using his poison.'
'But now that I think about it, I should be able to get some spiritual herbs from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's treasury. I might get spiritual herbs that are suited for nourishing the mortal body so I can start my cultivation.'
After deciding to meet Dugo Bo after he cultivates his third martial soul first, Yun Lianjin summoned his heaven and earth refining golden cauldron. Nine white-colored spirit rings surrounded the golden cauldron which made Yun Lianjin grimace.
'My spirit ring configuration is the weakest. I should get the world record for it.'
'But since my spirit rings are self-created, I am not limited to only one spirit skill. If I want to, I can create even hundreds of spirit skills. After all, my spirit ring doesn't restrict my control over my spiritual power.'
While Yun Lianjin consoled himself in his mind, he heard Ning Rongrong's words.
"Why are all of your spirit rings white? Didn't father say that the weakest spirit ring is white?"
Even if Ning Rongrong wasn't a soul master yet, she still had common knowledge about soul masters. After all, she wasn't an illiterate young mistress.
After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Yun Lianjin almost coughed out blood as her words stung his heart. He swore that this would be his most embarrassing childhood memory!
Imagine having nine white spirit rings in your childhood, wouldn't that be considered your dark past in your childhood?
Not that it was even possible for children to have nine spirit rings. So Yun Lianjin was just overthinking.
Of course, Yun Lianjin wouldn't allow his Ning Rongrong to be misled by his father-in-law.
"Don't listen to your father's words. He is already old so he might have already become senile."
"He only has seven spirit rings despite his old age while I have nine. Even if all of my spirit rings are white, my goal is to make all of it white gold or platinum."
"Watch how I make my spirit ring change its color from white to yellow."
After saying that to Ning Rongrong, Yun Lianjin opened the golden cauldron.
Afterward, Yun Lianjin tossed his nine spirit rings into the golden cauldron.
"Ah, I don't have spiritual herbs so I might as well use spiritual grass."
"Spiritual grass? Isn't that just grass?"
After noticing that Yun Lianjin pulled out some grass on the ground, Ning Rongrong was confused about why he called it spiritual grass.
"If I call it spiritual grass, then it is spiritual grass."
Nonchalantly replying to her, Yun Lianjin infused his spirit power towards the grasses on his hand.
Spirit power + grass = spiritual grass
Under Yun Lianjin's refinement, ordinary grass became spiritual grass. It was only possible because of his golden cauldron which could refine anything, even heaven, and earth.
Tossing a bunch of spiritual grass inside the golden cauldron, Yun Lianjin closed the lid of the golden cauldron and heated it.
Colorless flames burned the spiritual grass which transformed it into spiritual power. Controlling the white flames, the spirit power was directed to his spirit rings and currently, his spirit rings were being refined by spirit power and the golden cauldron's flames.
After a minute, Yun Lianjin opened the golden cauldron and he and Ning Rongrong saw nine white spirit rings with specks of yellow on them.
"Tch! It's far from enough. I need more grass."
Although he had already expected it, Yun Lianjin was still dissatisfied.
***
After half an hour has passed, Yun Lianjin now has nine yellow spirit rings.
All power comes with a price. And the price that Yun Lianjin paid was the destruction of nature's beauty. A large patch of the grassy field became barren.
"Rejoice! For this young master has become the Nine Yellow Spirit Ring Douluo!"
