Grandmaster asked for an apple to see if its effects were true so I instantly proceeded to produce an apple for him.
Sukong-"Here you go teacher I've never tried eating one before but Snowy the demon rabbit has so I guarantee it's not dangerous on the body"
Grandmaster started inspecting the apple but no matter how he looked at it it looked completely normal no spiritual energy could be detected but as soon as Tang San activated his Purple Demon eyes he could see it's frightening power it held
Sukong-"Please teacher try it"
Grandmaster looked a little hesitant but once he seen Tang San nod he started eating it
The moment he took a bite he took a nasty coughing fit as he started puking up black blood.
Sukong-"Teacher I told you the moment you eat it your body would expel its impurities the black blood is the result now check your body and see the results"
As grandmaster started wiping off his blood and checking out his body he was in a utter state of shock his 20 years of trying to break through to the 30th level finally happened as he almost jumped up for joy if not for being in front of his new disciples
GM-"Wu Sukong this spirit skill is amazing I've spent 20 years stuck at the 29th ranked bottleneck due to my spirit essence being mutated but the moment my bodies impurities were cleansed I broke through thank you"
Grandmaster master instantly started shedding tears as his spirit has caused him so much grief over the years I just walked up to him and hugged him saying
Sukong-"Teacher this student is just showing his filial duties be happy that you have finally crossed the threshold and can continue cultivating"
GM-"I'm passed the optimal age of cultivation at the very least I might hit level 60 or more"
Sukong-"Teacher I'm almost at rank 20 why don't we go out and get a new ring for you and Tang San when I hit it I'm currently at the 19th rank I'll probably break through in 2 days"
GM-"That will work for me what about you Tang San get everything you need ready before we go to the Star Dou Forest in 2 days"
Tang San-"Alright teacher I will and brother Wu can I also get an apple to cleanse out my impurities?"
Sukong-"No not right now wait till you get your first spirit ring then I will give you one for easier cultivation when you break past the bottleneck"
San-"That would work for me as well"
As me and San excused ourselves I went back to cultivate as he went to forge hidden weapons before I went to cultivate I sent Snowy and Xiao Wu a few carrots
It's been 2 days now as I've hit the 20th rank me Tang San and grandmaster on our way to the forest to get new spirit rings before we left I made Snowy stay with Xiao Wu to keep her company when I am not there I also left a very surprising gift next to her I harvested my largest carrot that was growing it weighed 5 pounds and was 2 footlong with many others with it since I knew this adventure would take a week 2 at most I made Snowy not eat anything or else I would add it as my next spirit ring
When we arrived at the forest Tang San was taken back by the sheer vastness of it as this is my second time I didn't play much attention to it and focused on finding beats for my ring
San-"Teacher what is your spirit"
GM-"My spirit is called Lou San Pao it's a mutated spirit it's the reason I was never able to breakthrough to the 30th level"
San-"Teacher what should my first spirit ring age be"
GM-"It should be right at or close to 423 years old I would suggest a snake type spirit since you could add poison to your grass"
Sukong-"Brother I have found you a perfect spirit ring it's a Romanti Snake it's around 422 years old"
GM-"No Sukong that's not a.."
Before he could finish his sentence I knocked out the snake and brought it back to them
Sukong-"Brother here is your first spirit beast remember if someone else kills it you won't be able to integrate with it so I'll let you do the honors"
As I pass a blade to him he sliced its throat as me and teacher watch over him
GM-"How could you tell that it was a spirit beast and not?"
Sukong-"I released my second spirit and felt it move to get closer to my trees source of life I also believe I have found the perfect beast for you just let me know if you want it"
GM-"What is it?"
Sukong-"It's a 1,150 year old land dragon if I activate my first spirit ring I should be able to capture it for you and don't worry when you ate the apple it cleansed your body of impurities allowing you to absorb rings higher than you could actually get that's the reason for my second ring"
Grandmaster just nods and sees me running to the beast with a smile as I activate my first spirit ring as my strength goes up and my arms and neck start growing fur as I launch a punch at the dragon knocking it out instantly before dragging it back with me
Sukong-"Here you go teacher I'll stand guard as you absorb the ring Tang San should wake up soon and then we can search for my next spirit ring"
GM-"Alright Sukong I'll gladly take it and thank you for the beast"
As I begin watching over them I hear rustling in the forest as I see my next spirit ring has presented itself to me.
