Immortal Herbs and Soul Beasts (Thanks to Reader 2048232298438938624 for
Xiang Yang's Purple Demon Eyes are currently at the second level of the Subtlety, allowing him to see the flow of energy. However, his watering of the Nine Yang Ginseng seems rather "rough" compared to his treatment of other plants.
This is because the Nine Yang Ginseng is a yang-attribute Immortal Herb, which can directly absorb the same source energy without the need for the "Sun-Gathering Shield" to filter it. In fact, when the Sun-Gathering Shield was first condensed, it was directly absorbed as nutrients.
Moreover, if the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs were converted into the cultivation level of Soul Beast, it would be at least seven thousand years. Naturally, it would not be "supported" by the Sunlight Energy at the Soul Ancestor level. Therefore, Xiang Yang could give it all without any worries, except for reserving some for his own cultivation.
Watching the Nine Yang Ginseng slowly absorb the energy it released, its leaves tilted slightly towards it.
Xiang Yang was puzzled and somewhat lost in thought. He remembered that immortal Immortal Herbs in later generations could become Soul Beasts, and even cultivate for 100,000 years. Putting aside their combat power, their cultivation level was real.
However, the Immortal Herbs of the current era show no signs of becoming Soul Beasts. Is it because the two eras are ten thousand years apart, giving the later Immortal Herbs enough time? It doesn't seem so, does it?
The inability to form sentience was due to interference from the two dragons below, indicating the need for a power of equal strength capable of resisting the interference. Considering they are already dead, the requirements can be lowered somewhat, but not too much; at least First-Level God should be required. In this light, the result is quite clear: it was probably done by God Tang San, as only he possesses both the power and knowledge of this place.
Xiang Yang, bored and letting his thoughts wander, continued to look at the Immortal Herb in front of him. This information seemed useless to him, since he couldn't turn the Nine Yang Ginseng into Soul Beast.
Wait a minute! Xiang Yang suddenly thought of someone who might have a solution.
Judging by the time, it's already late at night. Xiao Wu should have finished by now. I wonder if Tang San listened to my advice, otherwise I'll have to take the initiative to expose him.
Thinking of this, he took one last look at the golden Immortal Herb enveloped in golden energy, Xiang Yang turned and left.
A few minutes later, Xiang Yang found the two huddled together in a clearing on the mountaintop. They both looked calm, and Xiang Yang couldn't tell whether Tang San had done as he had said.
Hearing footsteps, the two turned around at the same time and saw him. Tang San was a little embarrassed, while Xiao Wu quickly turned her head back, but with his Purple Demon Eyes which he hadn't turned off, he could see that her ears were noticeably redder.
Xiang Yang chuckled, "Nice night, enjoying the moon?" He then gave Tang San a knowing look, as if to say: How's things going between you two?
Tang San nodded knowingly and said without hesitation, "A Yang, you're right. There shouldn't be any barriers between us. We should talk things out clearly, otherwise misunderstandings might arise at any time."
That's definitely what you said, but why are you being so righteous about it? Are you trying to shift the blame?
Sure enough, upon hearing that he was involved, Xiao Wu immediately stood up knowingly. "You little rascal, Yangzi! I haven't even said anything to you, and you're already plotting against me behind my back! Humph! You're going to die!"
She shouted at Xiang Yang and rushed forward, only to miss. Xiang Yang dodged the attack using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and said, "How can you blame me? You were the one who concealed your identity first, and what did I do?"
Xiao Wu never intended to really hit him, otherwise she wouldn't have refrained from using her Soul Power. She was just venting her lingering fear from being suddenly exposed by Tang San and the embarrassment of being interrupted in the atmosphere after the "confession."
So after missing her target again, she simply sat down. The two heard her say, "Actually, I don't know what that is either. It's just that in my eyes, you're glowing all over. You're white at night and golden during the day. At first, I thought you were Soul Beast Transformation."
"Huh? Me? "Xiang Yang pointed to himself, somewhat dumbfounded.
Xiao Wu continued, "Yes, Xiao San has it too. At first, it was a mix of blue and white, very faint, the kind you could easily miss if you weren't paying attention. But in the last two days, it's turned into a more intense blue-green, and the white is almost invisible."
"These past two days? That must be due to the Martial Soul Awakening and the Immortal Herb. Tang San's mother is the Blue Silver Emperor in human form, and has half of her Soul Beast bloodline," Xiang Yang analyzed.
"Yes, I think so too." Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
"And what about the white one? What is it?" Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Hmm... maybe it's the Mysterious Heaven Skill? No, I should have it on me too." Xiang Yang thought for a moment and said.
If it really is because of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, there is another possibility, because it was brought by Tang San, who is the source.
In this way, although he didn't know why it was glowing, his special situation seemed to be explained, because he had also brought something with him, something that even surpassed Tang San's otherworldly cultivation technique, but he just didn't know it.
In the blink of an eye, Tang San and Xiao Wu were also discussing, mainly Tang San trying to determine what kind of light Xiao Wu was referring to.
Xiang Yang simply said, "Forget it, our cultivation level is too low right now. There's no use thinking about it so much. Maybe everything will be resolved when our cultivation level is higher."
"Yes, that's true." "Mmm."
"By the way, Xiao Wu, I want to ask you something. What are the specific circumstances of how Transformed Soul Beasts interact with humans?" Xiang Yang asked impatiently, as the description of "human aura" was still too vague.
Xiao Wu pondered for a moment, then summarized, "I didn't quite understand at first either, but over the years, it seems to require the Spiritual Power that Soul Master usually releases, and ideally, it should be at a level similar to mine for the most efficient absorption."
There was something she was too embarrassed to say: it would be best if the relationship were closer, then the overflowing Spiritual Power would be less resistant.
As for cultivation level, it was because a higher level might be dangerous and difficult to refine quickly, since previous cultivation levels, including Spiritual Power, would be unusable after transformation; a lower level wouldn't be useful, so she might need to increase the quantity. Anyway, she wouldn't need it, so she didn't think about testing it.
Speaking of which, Xiao Wu had marveled at her luck many times. She knew the value of Innate Full Soul Power, and she never expected to encounter one so soon after she came out. It was a good opportunity for her to know how far her cultivation should go, which wasn't difficult at all. (laughs)
Xiang Yang was somewhat surprised. It was that simple? Wait, no, that doesn't seem wrong either. She was Soul Beast Transformation; a change in body doesn't mean a change in soul. Otherwise, how could her true form still be detected? So the key lies in her soul. What should she do then...?
Seeing that Xiang Yang remained silent for a while after hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but say, "If there's something on your mind, you can say it so we can all think about it together. Don't you always say that one person's plan is short-sighted, but two people's plans are long-sighted?"
Xiang Yang came to his senses and realized that it made sense. He couldn't always be the one telling others to do things a certain way, but then suddenly it didn't work for him, could it?
Upon hearing that Xiang Yang had just been pondering a way to turn the Immortal Herb into Soul Beast, Tang San and Xiao Wu were both shocked. Although they didn't know what use it would have for the time being, they had to admit that the situation was indeed strange, and they hadn't really thought about it in detail before.
In the Douluo Continent, ordinary plants or animals can become Soul Beasts as long as they absorb enough Heaven and Earth Essence. If that doesn't work, they can achieve it by simply waiting for the right time. As long as they live long enough, their cultivation level will naturally increase, and the same applies to their intelligence.
