"This is--"
Upon entering the Demiplane of Living Beings for the first time, the five immortal herbs were greatly surprised.
The feeling of tenfold growth acceleration was gone, but the rich life force around them made them extremely comfortable. In particular, the rule in the demiplane that represented "life" made them feel as if they had lost the limit of lifespan and could live forever.
Unfortunately, they have limited knowledge and do not know what this world and this rule mean.
Of course, Lin Nuo didn't have time to deal with the five of them right now, so he let A Yi and Xue Di entertain them.
Lin Nuo stared at the Qiluo Tulip Soul Ring with a golden pattern in front of him, stroking his chin and falling into deep thought.
So—here's the question.
Should we absorb this spirit ring, or just let it dissipate?
The Qiluo Tulip, gorgeous and noble, absorbs the essence of the sun and moon. The initial growth process of the Linnuo Blue Silver Grass was somewhat biased towards this model. If we had to say, the Snow Empress, this naturally born ice and snow maiden, also has a bit of this flavor.
Lin Nuo had already reserved the eighth and ninth spirit rings for the World Tree, and it was impossible for him to waste the last two spirit ring slots by absorbing the spirit rings from the Qiluo Tulip.
It would be more reasonable if it were absorbed during the sixth spirit ring stage.
But if it were to be absorbed by the Snow Empress's martial soul, it would feel like something was missing.
After much deliberation, Lin Nuo decided to absorb the spirit ring. Having already survived one tribulation and possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring with a golden pattern, there wasn't much he could complain about. Yan Shaozhe didn't even have a 100,000-year spirit ring, and neither did Lin Nuo's family's prison mirror—
That's good enough. I'm just worried that if I don't use this spirit ring, it will become a problem to fill all nine spirit ring slots of the Snow Empress's martial spirit in the future.
After thinking it through, Lin Nuo no longer hesitated. He thawed the corpse of the Qiluo Tulip and threw it, along with the left arm bone that had burst out, into his storage soul tool. Then, he sat cross-legged on the spot, released the Snow Emperor Martial Soul, and guided the soul ring to fall onto himself.
The drop of soul bones by soul beasts is completely random, but soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old will definitely drop the soul bone parts that a soul master is missing.
The Qiluo Tulip exploded with the left arm soul bone that Lin Nuo was missing. But unlike soul rings, which can be absorbed more casually, Lin Nuo still values soul bones very much. So far, he has only absorbed two soul bones: one is the Snow Emperor's torso bone, and the other is the Senluo Wanxiang right leg bone, which is fused with the right leg bone of the Demon Eye Tree.
Lin Nuo planned to carefully consider the remaining four soul bone parts before absorbing them.
This part is really lacking.

In a rural area, Yan Shaozhe, weary from his journey, finally escaped from a volcano and planned to find a place to rest.
Extreme environments are unsuitable for human survival. Only Soul Masters with compatible attributes will specifically seek out extreme environments as natural, simulated cultivation environments to accelerate their cultivation speed.
However, places like this have been searched over and over by countless soul masters over the past ten thousand years, but no one has ever been heard of obtaining the immortal herb, and there is not even a single word about it in the ten thousand years of history books.
This proves that only in more extreme and remote places can one find traces of the miraculous herb.
With this determination in mind, Yan Shaozhe has really suffered a lot during this period. In order to go to some truly forbidden areas, he even used his Nirvana ability several times, basically risking his life.
Judging from his desperate efforts, you really can't doubt his feelings for Ma Xiaotao!
But a pity.
Although he obtained many top-grade fire-attribute natural treasures in these perilous places, and even a top-grade fire spirit mushroom that was over 50,000 years old, he didn't even see a single hair of a divine herb.
Yan Shaozhe was also a little tired. He had been wandering through various dangerous places for so long, and after each rebirth, he had to rest for more than half a month before embarking on the journey to find the immortal herb.
Having undergone another rebirth, he was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. He wanted to find a place to rest for a while and, incidentally, inquire about what had happened at Shrek Academy during this time.
Then he heard the devastating news that his wife had become a deceased wife.
"What?!" Yan Shaozhe's teacup fell limply to the ground, his expression blank and somewhat at a loss.
Mei'er—is she dead?
Not only Mei'er, but also Old Master Lin, Le Xuan, and Ruoruo died?
Four people died in a row, all at the hands of the same person, who was also the culprit who caused Ma Xiaotao to turn completely evil: Lin Nuo.
Upon hearing the news, Yan Shaozhe flew into the sky like a madman, transforming into a giant golden phoenix, flying with all his might, just to return to Shrek Academy as quickly as possible.
He couldn't believe it.
So many changes have happened in the short time he has been away from the academy, and even his lover has died tragically, which has been used as a boastful achievement by Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Empire.
Anger and sorrow tormented his heart, pushing him, who was already exhausted and anxious because he couldn't find the magic herb, to the brink of emotional collapse.
at last.
He traveled at breakneck speed and, within a few days, he returned from the remote edge of the continent to Shrek, where he had dedicated half his life.
Looking at Shrek Academy's still magnificent school gate, Yan Shaozhe, travel-worn and hesitant, hesitated to step inside, afraid to verify the news he had heard in that rural town.
"Hey—Shao Zhe, you're back."
An aged sigh echoed behind him.
Yan Shaozhe slowly turned around, looked at the old man sitting in the wheelchair, and opened his mouth.
"Teacher, Mei'er, she—"
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's grief-stricken and haggard face, Mu En was also distressed, but he still nodded and said in a low voice, "You've heard the rumors too, haven't you? Yes, Mei'er is dead, killed by the people of the Sun Moon Empire. It was your incompetence that you failed to protect Mei'er."
Yan Shaozhe felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, the world spinning around him, and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Mu En quickly released his soul power to help Yan Shaozhe up. However, due to prolonged fatigue and the sudden blow, Yan Shaozhe's tense spirit had completely broken down, and he fell into a deep sleep.
"You've suffered, Shao Zhe—." Mu En sighed again, waved his hand and led Yan Shao Zhe back to the Sea God Pavilion, placed him on the bed, and let the light energy of the Golden Tree nourish his body.
The series of bad news stirred intense anger even in the wise old man, Moon.
After Yan Shaozhe fell into a coma due to grief and exhaustion, Mu En's anger reached its peak.
"Things are mostly arranged now. It's time to settle some scores."
