After seeing the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lakesius finally understood what Neuvillette had meant when he said Dugu Bo possessed something that could help one break through to the Title Douluo rank!

If used properly, the Immortal Herbs here could do far more than simply create a few Title Douluo!

"Grandson, I already took stock of the most valuable things here while I was looking for the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd."

"Come with me!"

Hearing this, Neuvillette instinctively followed Lakesius to the edge of the springs.

"These are the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot! Taking them together will grant immunity to both ice and fire attributes!"

"They can better forge your foundation for invincibility!"

"And these, these..."

Neuvillette followed Lakesius as they walked and stopped along the way. Lakesius did all the talking while he merely listened.

Only after Lakesius had finished introducing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red did Neuvillette speak. "Grandfather, you have always been thinking about how I can become stronger, how I can become invincible. Have you never considered yourself?"

Lakesius froze upon hearing that. His mouth opened slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

How could he not have considered himself? But these things would yield the greatest value when used on Neuvillette.

As for these old bones of his, using such divine treasures on himself would only be a waste.

"At my age, using such divine treasures..."

Before Lakesius could finish, Neuvillette waved a hand. "Grandfather, with my talent, even without these things, becoming invincible is only a matter of time."

"I do not particularly need them."

A powerful confidence radiated from Neuvillette. Lakesius believed him; Neuvillette simply wanted to make him even more invincible.

"Besides, although you know the effects of these Immortal Herbs, you do not know that a person can refine only a limited number of them in their lifetime."

"Medicine is poison in three parts. Refining too many would be harmful instead."

That applied to humans.

But Neuvillette was a dragon!

He was deceiving Lakesius with those words.

After Lakesius made his selections, Neuvillette would choose a few Immortal Herbs for himself. Then, everything here would become nourishment for Focalors's "resurrection"!

Lakesius fell into thought upon hearing this.

After a long while, he finally sighed. Perhaps Neuvillette was right!

"I do not know which Immortal Herbs would suit you. You should choose for yourself!"

Neuvillette smiled as he spoke.

With things having reached this point, Lakesius no longer hesitated. In just a moment, he had made his decision.

"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!"

When Dai Mubai and the others consumed Immortal Herbs, they could not refine all the medicinal effects at once. They had needed to reach the Soul Sage rank before they could fully refine them.

At the time, their Soul Power Levels had generally only been in the twenties or thirties. Only Dai Mubai had reached level thirty-nine. With that little Soul Power, naturally, they could not refine Immortal Herbs all at once.

But Lakesius was different. He was an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo!

Refining Immortal Herbs might not have been as simple as eating and drinking for him, but it was not far off.

Lakesius had only made his decision and did not immediately pluck the two Immortal Herbs. Dugu Bo's matter had yet to be resolved, and this Treasure Land did not yet belong to Neuvillette.

Their earlier discussion had merely arranged ownership in advance. Neither of them had acted directly. Grandfather and grandson were both people of principle!

"Hahaha, there are three Earth Dragon Golden Gourds!"

At that moment, Dugu Bo burst into laughter. As he laughed, he nearly began to cry!

If only he had known earlier that the thing capable of resolving their Martial Soul problem was here.

His son would not have died!

Fortunately, it was not too late yet!

Hearing Dugu Bo's voice, Lakesius and Neuvillette calmly walked over to his side.

After examining them briefly, Neuvillette said, "All three Earth Dragon Golden Gourds are mature. Your Excellency Dugu has been poisoned too deeply, and your Martial Soul Poison is far stronger than Miss Dugu's. Consuming two Earth Dragon Golden Gourds should allow your Martial Soul to evolve."

"As for Miss Dugu, she is still young. Both her Martial Soul Poison and Martial Soul strength are inferior to Your Excellency Dugu's. One Earth Dragon Golden Gourd will be enough to alter the form of her Martial Soul..."

"Three Earth Dragon Golden Gourds—not one too many, not one too few. Just right!"

"This is fate!"

Dugu Bo: "..."

To hell with fate!

If it was fate, then why had he not learned earlier that this thing could save lives?!

He had discovered this place decades ago, yet he had never known!

"How should it be used?"

"Eat it like fruit, then refine it!"

"..."

There truly were no special requirements for consuming an Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. One only needed to eat it directly, just as one would eat fruit.

It was rather strange. When faced with an Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, every soul master with a dragon Martial Soul would feel the urge to devour it. The same was true for dragon-type soul beasts.

Yet Neuvillette, who was also a dragon, felt nothing at all. He had no interest whatsoever in the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd!

The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd could purify dragon bloodlines and had a high chance of evolving dragon-type Martial Souls, but in Neuvillette's eyes, this thing would contaminate his bloodline...

That was right.

Could an earth dragon even be considered a dragon?

Even the true dragons of the Douluo Continent might be nothing more than this!

Facing the burial ground of Douluo's two Dragon Kings, Neuvillette did not feel the slightest sense of oppression...

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then glanced at Neuvillette. Suddenly, he found the young man rather pleasing to the eye!

"Hmph, this old man will never say thank you! This is a transaction!"

"This old man will now try this so-called Earth Dragon Golden Gourd and see whether it can truly resolve the problem with my Martial Soul!"

"If you dare deceive this old man, then before I die, I will absolutely destroy this place..."

Dugu Bo spoke expressionlessly, though a trace of tsundere pride flashed across his face.

Judging from the stirrings of his Martial Soul, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd would definitely benefit it. Why, why had he never discovered it before?

If this thing harmed him, he could still destroy this place before his death!

Without waiting for Neuvillette to speak, Dugu Bo headed off to the side on his own, preparing to consume and refine the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.

Naturally, he would never allow Dugu Yan to test something like this first!

"Actually, have you not already said thank you?"

Seeing this, Neuvillette murmured.

Dugu Bo truly was stubborn. Making a man like him say thank you was harder than killing him!

Time passed second by second. About three hours later, a resounding dragon's roar echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At this moment, Dugu Bo had been completely transformed. He looked much younger, and in his Martial Soul Possession state...
