However, the injection solution researched by Mu Ci certainly cannot compare with Xianzhou Technology, but it is still possible to create a stripped-down version of the Free Manifestation using its principles and abundant power.
Everyone in the Douluo Continent has various bloodlines. Martial Soul Awakening is the process of manifesting the genes of these bloodlines and forming a special cultivation system with the Douluo rules.
Even Soul Masters with weapon-type martial souls can trace their origins back to various bloodlines.
For example, Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear or Xie Xie's Light and Dark Twin Daggers both possess the bloodline of dragons, but if their offspring mutate and degenerate, they will become pure weapon spirits.
The mutation of martial souls is somewhat illogical; even a pure beast martial soul has a chance to mutate into a weapon martial soul.
Over the past year, Mu Ci obtained many soul beast corpses from his grandmother under the name of Shen Kao, which he used to research and complete this technology.
For this purpose, he also raised a litter of soul beasts such as soft-boned rabbits and white mice for experiments. These types of soul beasts reproduce very quickly, have a very short gestation period, and can give birth to dozens or even hundreds of cubs in a year.
If we raise more, we can fully withstand the consequences of experimental failures.
After hundreds of experiments, Mu Ci was able to extract spinal fluid from high-level soul beasts and stably stimulate the bloodline of low-level soul beasts.
When used on humans, the extract from similar soul beasts can stably induce benign mutations in martial souls, thereby generating soul power.
However, current production is indeed not high.
In the laboratory, Mu Ci began to store the experimental equipment into her storage soul guide.
He plans to travel to other cities to practice medicine and seek knowledge in a while, fulfilling his destiny.
There are no more patients in Shenmu City, and he no longer needs to keep an eye on the Fengrao Medical Hall. The second son is now fully capable of treating common ailments, and if there are any that he cannot cure, he can refer to the pills and medical books he left behind.
The pill, imbued with abundant power, is enough to cure most diseases in the world; if that doesn't work, you can call someone to come and find him.
Looking at the empty laboratory in front of her, Mu Ci still felt a little emotional. After all, she had spent the past year either at the clinic or here conducting experiments.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knocking sound from outside the door.
Mu Ci opened the door and looked at the maid outside with some surprise.
He usually cultivates here and is rarely disturbed, so he asked with some confusion, "Is there something you need?"
The maid looked at the handsome young man before her, her face slightly flushed, and said with her head bowed, "Young Master, the Old Madam sent me to deliver a message, saying that the Master has returned."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Grandpa is back! I'll be right there."
Two months ago, Mu Changsheng had already broken through to level 90 and asked Lin Ya to invite Ling Yuan Douluo to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls together.
His return at this time signifies that Mu Changsheng has successfully obtained his ninth spirit ring, thus entering the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent and being granted the title of Title Douluo.
As for failure, Mu Ci had not thought about it.
It wasn't that Mu Ci was overconfident, but rather that Mu Changsheng had already chosen his ninth soul ring—a 70,000-year-old Dragon Blood Tree King.
With the combined efforts of a level 90 control-type quasi-titled Douluo and a level 92 power-attack-type titled Douluo, they were still easily defeated.
Not to mention that Spirit Kite Douluo is a top-tier fire-attribute titled Douluo. With the blessing of the nine rings, the Fiery Spirit Kite Martial Soul has begun to revert to its ancestral form, exhibiting many phoenix characteristics.
Even if the Dragon Blood Tree King has some true dragon bloodline, it is still subject to the dual suppression of attributes and cultivation.
Upon arriving at the council hall, she immediately saw the middle-aged man chatting with Lin Ya and happily exclaimed, "Grandpa, you're back!"
"Hahaha, my dear grandson, let Grandpa take a good look at you. I wouldn't be where I am today without you!"
Mu Changsheng looked at Mu Ci and laughed loudly.
With a flash of his storage soul tool, a lead box appeared in his hand, which he handed to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci took the lead box with a puzzled look on her face and asked Mu Changsheng, "Grandpa, what is this?"
"Open it and you'll see," Mu Changsheng smiled, without giving a direct answer.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci turned her gaze to the lead box and reached out to open it.
The moment the lead box was opened, a blood-red light burst forth, staining the entire hall with a crimson hue.
"This is... a soul bone?" Mu Ci stared in shock at the contents of the lead box.
It was a section of red human shinbone, as translucent as jade, with a blood-red glow flowing within it, like a living little dragon.
"This is the left leg bone of the Dragon Blood Tree King that my grandfather obtained after hunting it. It was 70,000 years old."
"When the Dragon Blood Tree King died, all of its true dragon blood condensed into this soul bone."
"Once you absorb the soul bone, your soul power should reach level 20."
Mu Changsheng said to Mu Ci, "With the amplification from the soul bone, Xiao Ci, your second soul ring can now attempt to reach the second ring of the millennium."
Imagining the future, Mu Changsheng felt somewhat excited.
"The second ring of the millennium! Unheard of and unseen before!"
“Grandpa, you need to absorb the spirit ring first and then absorb the spirit bone of the same origin to maximize the effectiveness of the spirit bone.”
Without a second thought, Mu Ci wanted to return the soul bone to Mu Changsheng.
Mu Changsheng didn't take it, but looked at Mu Ci with a serious expression and said:
"Xiao Ci, Grandpa was able to break through to the Title Douluo level thanks to your help. I can't live with myself if I do nothing."
After saying that, Mu Changsheng sighed and shook his head.
Chapter 20 The Second Ring of the Millennium
Seeing the feigned melancholy on Mu Changsheng's face, Mu Ci really couldn't accept the offer, after all, it was her grandfather's good intention.
He does indeed need a soul bone to enhance his physique. After a year of cultivation, his soul power has reached level seventeen, but his physique can only support him absorbing soul rings for about nine hundred years at most.
However, by the time one reaches level 20, their physique is only a little over a thousand years old. Even if they can extend their lifespan further with whale glue, it is still somewhat dangerous.
Moreover, the current Abundance Power is not very effective at healing damage from forced infusion, since if the Soul Ring cannot withstand the absorption, it will explode and die.
After all, he wasn't a monster like Xiang Si Kuangren or Shu Hu; he didn't possess that kind of powerful immortality that allowed him to revive even after being blown to pieces.
Therefore, the enhancement from a soul bone is still very necessary.
“Okay, Grandpa, I will absorb the soul bone.”
Mu Ci finally agreed.
Mu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then absorb it directly. Your grandmother and I are here, so there won't be any problems."
Mu Ci nodded to the two elderly people, and without further hesitation, sat cross-legged on the ground.
Take the soul bone out of the lead box, place it on your left leg, and begin to draw in and absorb it with your soul power.
A rich red light enveloped Mu Ci's entire body, and the crystal-clear soul bone began to melt little by little, entering Mu Ci's left leg and merging with it.
Just as the final fusion was taking place, a loud dragon roar, filled with resentment, came from inside the soul bone.
At the moment of death, the Dragon Blood Tree King's remnant soul split into two parts: one part transformed into a resentful soul and entered the soul ring, while the other part transformed into an obsession and merged into the soul bone.
At this moment, the Dragon Blood Tree King's powerful obsession surged into the Sea of Spirit through Mu Ci's absorption.
"Roar!"
A resounding dragon roar echoed through the sea of spirits, filled with anger and destructive intent.
Looking at everything before him, the Tree King's bloodshot eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was about to begin the destruction.
But before it could make a move, countless tree roots descended from the sky above the Sea of Spirit, carrying the fluctuations of higher-dimensional destiny, and began to bind the Tree King's obsession.
Upon seeing this, the Tree King's obsession began to struggle frantically, trying to break free of its restraints.
But no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't shake the thin layer of light on the tree roots.
Mu Ci's consciousness looked at this scene without any surprise, because everything was under his control.
The control power of the Martial Soul was present after its awakening, which is why it was discovered that the Dragon Blood Tree King still had a trace of obsession heading towards the Sea of Spirit.
He then controlled the abundant Jianmu tree and, with the help of the power of destiny, surrounded it.
After all, no matter how powerful it was in life, the current Dragon Blood Tree King is just a lingering remnant, like a rootless duckweed.
Faced with a higher level of destiny power, they had no power to resist.
However, this unexpected event still gave Mu Ci a big fright.
Will absorbing a soul bone cause an impact on one's obsession? There's no such setting in Douluo Continent I. Isn't it said that even the lowest-ranking Soul Master can absorb a 100,000-year-old soul bone?
Or perhaps this is just an isolated case, where the lingering resentment from being hunted hasn't dissipated yet. Without a control group, he couldn't make a direct conclusion.
Controlling the abundant Jianmu tree, it crushed the obsession, and scattered the starlight throughout the entire sea of spirit.
Mu Ci felt a wave of comfort, and her mental strength increased somewhat.
Without the Tree King's lingering resentment interfering, the absorption speed became much faster.
......
Two hours later.
Mu Ci, who was absorbing the soul bone, suddenly opened his eyes, and his soul power surged, breaking through level 20 in the blink of an eye.
Feeling the increase in his soul power, he felt that after absorbing the second soul ring, his soul power could break through two or three levels.
Seeing that Mu Ci had finished absorbing the nutrients, Mu Changsheng hurriedly came over with Lin Ya to inquire about the situation.
"Xiao Ci, how are you feeling?"
Mu Ci stood up from the ground, looked at her grandparents, and said with a smile, "It feels great. The left leg bone of the Dragon Blood Tree King has given me a soul bone skill called Dragon's Fury."
"After Dragon's Fury is activated, it can increase all of your attributes by 150%, and also add a layer of Dragon's Fury when you attack."
"The Dragon's Fury will continuously burn the enemy's mental energy when it touches them."
Lin Ya nodded in satisfaction after hearing Mu Ci's introduction, and commented:
"It is indeed a top-tier soul bone skill. Not only does it amplify all attributes, but it also possesses an extremely rare mental attack soul skill."
"This Tree King is probably an extremely rare soul beast with spiritual attributes. We've struck gold."
Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng nodded with a somewhat enlightened expression and said:
"No wonder I always felt fluctuations in spiritual energy when I was hunting with His Highness Lingyuan. If his age had reached more than 90,000 years, we might not have been able to take him down."
Mu Changsheng looked at Mu Ci excitedly and said, "Now that we've absorbed the soul bone, absorbing the thousand-year soul ring shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Hearing this, Mu Ci nodded and said, "No problem, I feel that I can absorb any soul ring under two thousand years old without any danger."
