"All set"

Hearing this sound, Tang Wulin was like being granted a divine decree. His brain felt slightly dizzy and he once again entered that dark space.

A pale golden light reappeared before him. This time, he wasn't entering this place in his sleep, but fully conscious. This meant that over ninety percent of what he saw was real.

"Like that, I've gathered everything." Tang Wulin looked at the golden figure before him with some nervousness and mustered his courage to say: "How should I address you"

The golden light on his body seemed to solidify for a moment, then slowly said, “Just call me Old Tang.”

"Old Tang" For some reason, when he called out these two words, Tang Wulin felt a strange sensation in his heart. Did he have the same surname as him Was he also named Tang

"It's just a title. Well, time is of the essence. I can already feel the presence of the three treasure materials. It's admirable that you were able to find them in such a short time. Are you ready to break the seal"

Tang Wulin blinked. "What else needs to be prepared"

Old Tang said in a deep voice: "You need to prepare many things, endurance, strength, courage, and perseverance. When you open the seal, you will endure immense pain. This pain is very likely to make you sink, make you give up. If you cannot possess these qualities I have, then you will be unable to bear the power of the seal, you will fall into complete ruin, even an endless abyss."

Tang Wulin stared at him in surprise, "You didn't last time You said you just needed to find those three things…"

Old Tang said nonchalantly, "Do you really think that the seal which could put you to death is so easy to break In this world, there's never such a thing as getting something for nothing. If you want to get something, you must be willing to pay the price. This applies to both your life and cultivation. Just like a soul master, if one doesn't put in strenuous effort and endure loneliness and pain that ordinary people can't bear, possessing an unwavering determination and strength beyond what is considered normal, how could they possibly become powerful"

“The situation you face now is the same. The essence of the Golden Dragon King sealed within you will merge with your body. This process is essentially a transformation of your body. If it succeeds, your abilities will undoubtedly see a comprehensive enhancement. Therefore, the first thing you have to pay for in this process is to endure the pain. Although you are still young, you have no other choice.”

Tang Wulin fell silent. Although he was young, his father had been instilling him with countless principles of conduct since he was very little. He could tell that this old Tang from within his own spiritual world did everything for his own good.

Since I have no other choice, then I must be able to. Tang Wulin's eyes gradually became firm.

He still needs to find his parents, he still needs to find Nana, and he still needs to help his teammates win the promotion tournament. Isn't finding these three Elemental Gems so urgently just to become stronger

Then, at this point, he naturally had no possibility of retreating.

"Tell me, what should I do now" Tang Wulin asked.

Old Tang said, "First, you need to find a quiet place where no one will disturb you for at least several hours. Take care of everything around you. Then, you'll need a sealed container. Place the two spirit fruits inside, and quickly pour in a century-old dragon's blood. Seal the container and wait until everything is calm within it before drinking it. That's how you start to break the first seal."

This is a continuation of the previous text.

"Okay."

Old Tang said, "When you finish these, I will naturally guide you to begin breaking through. Remember, before taking the medicine, you must put yourself in peak condition, with a calm and steady mind."

He opened his eyes again, and the forge workshop was still before him. Outside, the wind and rain continued to rage.

The wind and rain grew louder, accompanied by rolling thunder. The booming claps of lightning seemed to threaten to tear the very earth apart.

Tang Wulin glanced at the three pieces of material treasure in front of him, then took out his soul guidance communicator and dialed Xie Xie's number.

"Hey Wulin, why haven't you come back yet. The typhoon has already arrived, where are you now" Xie Xie's questions came in rapid succession and were a little unclear, the typhoon obviously affecting the communication quality.

Tang Wulin said, “I’m fine. I got things done at the Blacksmith Association and set off on a wind ride after that. I’m currently at my forging workshop. It’s too windy and rainy outside, so I won’t be going back just yet. I might as well finish this forging task here. I just called to let you know I’m safe. Can you hear me clearly”

"It's a bit blurry, but it's pretty clear. It's good that you're alright. Even if the typhoon comes, just watch me cultivate diligently for a while. If I manage to break through to the two-ring level, those fellows will be begging for mercy."

Tang Wulin said: "Don't get ahead of yourself, safety first."

Xie Xie chuckled and said, “Relax, everything will be fine. Teacher Wu is going to give me a blessing for my new home. Originally, we were supposed to do it together, but you didn't come back. I'll cover for you with the teacher, and once the storm passes, just hurry back, okay”

"Well, okay."

After hanging up the communication, Tang Wulin checked the windows and doors again, making sure they were all locked before returning to his desk.

Is this really "helping the seedlings grow" I'm afraid it might be more like pulling them up too soon. I wonder what will happen after this seal is broken.

Finding a sealed container in a forge workshop was incredibly simple, just forge one up on the spot would do. Forging a sealed container was one of the very first foundational skills he learned.

He took his own metal sealed water cup and put it on the table.

"Now No, Lao Tang. I need to stay sharp and focused. Gotta remain calm and collected."

Meditating and regulating his breath to restore his dwindling soul power, Tang Wulin's mind gradually calmed down as he entered a meditative state.

After an unknown amount of time, when he awoke from his meditation, he felt a complete sense of well-being throughout his body.

Outside, there were only the sounds of wind and rain. This time, Tang Wulin didn't hesitate. He quickly got up and poured the century-old ice crystal fruit and century-old crimson fruit into his metal cup. Then, he quickly opened the porcelain bottle, pouring the dark purple blood with a faint fishy smell into the cup.

A powerful energy wave surged rapidly from the cup, causing the entire cup to tremble slightly. Tang Wulin acted swiftly, quickly putting the lid on and sealing it, holding it close to his chest.

A series of tiny explosions began to sound inside the cup. Tang Wulin almost let go in the next instant because the cup suddenly became red hot, and then, the red on the blanket disappeared, replaced by a layer of frost.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of a dragon's roar rising from within the cup.

Both Chi Yan Fruit and Bing Jing Fruit are treasures of spiritual fruits. After a hundred years, they have begun to possess spirituality. Ice and fire are two extremes. These two kinds of spiritual fruits placed together will naturally produce a strong repulsion. However, confined within a very small container, this repulsion becomes stronger and naturally transforms into mutual attacks.

The blood of the century-old dragon clan soul beasts also played a role in promoting and harmonizing it. The three spiritual creatures mixed together were quietly undergoing some amazing chemical reactions.

Tang Wulin instinctively took a few steps back because he vaguely felt that within his metal cup, there seemed to be an extremely powerful energy about to erupt. Wouldn't it really explode That would be all for naught.

Fortunately, the faint rumbling subsided gradually, and the flickering red and blue hues on the cup also calmed down.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

But Tang Wulin could still faintly feel the immense energy contained within. He didn't know where this feeling came from, it just seemed to appear naturally in his mind

No, it wasn't natural. It appeared after I opened the bottle containing the blood of a century-old dragon-type soul beast. It felt like... that's what the dragon-type soul beast's blood was telling me. All of this...

The words of Lao Tang echoed in his mind, he dared not delay, hurried to the front, picked up the metal cup, the temperature of the cup strangely returned to normal, only slightly warm.

He opened the cup, and instantly, a strange, slightly bloody smell filled his nostrils, nearly making Tang Wulin sneeze.tood at the peak of the Soul Master world, becoming the pillar of the entire Shrek Academy. 。Now Tang Wulin is very similar to Yun Ming of old, always able to do what others cannot. 。Such a stage as...
