Dugu Yan's Transformation

"Dugu Yan, this Earth Dragon Golden Silk Gourd was prepared for you. It will let you control your poison, and it also contains a trace of dragon traits. It may even evolve your Jade Phosphorous Serpent." Duanyu Fan came before Dugu Yan and introduced it with a smile.

"To consume it, simply remove the five golden threads inside and swallow them."

"Thank you, Holy Son." Dugu Yan accepted the Immortal Herb with a slightly bashful smile as she looked at Duanyu Fan.

"Yan'er! Hurry up and try it!" Dugu Bo had already seen the dramatic change in Duanyu Fan's temperament after he consumed the Immortal Herbs, and he was full of anticipation for Dugu Yan.

"Okay, Grandfather!" Following Duanyu Fan's instructions, Dugu Yan removed the golden threads from the Earth Dragon Golden Silk Gourd, sat cross-legged, swallowed them, and closed her eyes to absorb their effects.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, what Immortal Herbs did you find?" Duanyu Fan asked Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Holy Son, I found several Immortal Herbs. Among them is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. After I consume it, my attack power should increase by another fifty percent." Chrysanthemum Douluo took out the Immortal Herbs he had collected one by one.

Some had appeared in the anime, while others had not. It seemed Tang San did not recognize every Immortal Herb either; after all, they were not from the same world.

Duanyu Fan found himself at a loss as he looked at them, because he did not know which Immortal Herbs would be effective for Bibi Dong or which ones he should give her.

"Teacher, these are the Aromatic Silk Beauty and Nine Treasure Purple Ganoderma. The Nine Treasure Purple Ganoderma can stabilize the soul and strengthen one's foundation, while the Aromatic Silk Beauty is the bane of all poisons and can neutralize different toxins. Besides, its appearance is very elegant and suits you well. You can carry it with you." As Duanyu Fan explained, he added a compliment for Bibi Dong at the end.

"Good! Then your teacher won't stand on ceremony. The Aromatic Silk Beauty you mentioned really is beautiful." Bibi Dong accepted the two Immortal Herbs Duanyu Fan had introduced.

"Yue Guan, have you found suitable Immortal Herbs for Nana and the others?" Bibi Dong continued after accepting them.

"Your Majesty the Pope, I have. This is the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, known as the king of flowers. It is the finest among all the Immortal Herbs here, and the Saintess can try to make it acknowledge her as its master. In case it fails to acknowledge her, I specially prepared a Narcissus Jade Bone as well. It also suits the Saintess, though its effects are somewhat weaker."

"This is Black Jade Divine Bamboo. It can greatly enhance the strength of Xie Yue's martial soul, the Moon Blade, making it indestructible and increasing the attack power and toughness of tool martial souls."

Tang San had missed this Black Jade Divine Bamboo. Otherwise, it would have drastically improved the Blue Silver Grass's toughness and attack power.

"And this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is the most compatible Immortal Herb for fire-attribute soul masters. It can enhance Yan's martial soul's fire-attribute abilities."

"This is called Three-Leaf Ghost Yin Grass. It is the most suitable for Lao Gui." Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly explained the uses of the several Immortal Herbs.

"Good, put them away. Let's arrange it like this!" Duanyu Fan saw that Chrysanthemum Douluo's arrangements were nearly identical to his own.

"Then, Your Majesty the Pope, Holy Son, I'll deliver the Three-Leaf Ghost Yin Grass to Lao Gui. You can keep the other Immortal Herbs. I'll consume the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Immortal Herb suited to my martial soul." Chrysanthemum Douluo handed all the Immortal Herbs to Duanyu Fan, keeping only the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Three-Leaf Ghost Yin Grass.

"Alright! Thank you, Chrysanthemum Elder. I hope the Immortal Herb lives up to your expectations." Duanyu Fan accepted the Immortal Herbs Chrysanthemum Douluo handed over and placed them into his Soul Tool.

Afterward, Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo both began consuming their Immortal Herbs and absorbing their medicinal effects.

Meanwhile, Duanyu Fan continued wandering around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He spotted a flower resembling a lotus, but it seemed to be missing one side—a Half-Sided Lotus, capable of curing snake venom.

"Poison Elder! This Half-Sided Lotus is for you. Your poison has already seeped deep into your bones, so it is rather troublesome and cannot be removed in a short time. However, if I use my martial soul to help clear the poison from your bone marrow, while you consume this Half-Sided Lotus and then integrate your poison into a soul bone, your strength and ability to use poison will rise to another level. You will no longer have to endure that piercing pain day and night." Duanyu Fan explained to Dugu Bo.

"Thank you, Holy Son. Let's begin after Yan'er wakes up." Upon hearing Duanyu Fan's words, Dugu Bo did not immediately begin treatment. Instead, he kept watching over Dugu Yan's condition.

Afterward, Duanyu Fan and Dugu Bo fell silent. An hour later, Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo woke up one after the other.

"Teacher, how was it? Did your Soul Power increase?" Duanyu Fan was uncertain. Bibi Dong was practically at the pinnacle among soul masters, so the Immortal Herbs' boost would be very limited.

"Not bad. My Soul Power has become much more abundant and condensed, and my physique has improved slightly." Bibi Dong was somewhat disappointed, feeling that she had expected too much from the Immortal Herbs.

It was no wonder. Bibi Dong could be said to be the most talented person on the Douluo Continent. She was the first to successfully cultivate Twin Martial Souls, and even the Rakshasa God had personally sought her out. Her talent could not have been any greater.

"Teacher! Your levels are too high, so you won't experience an increase in Soul Power. The effects are only obvious for lower-level soul masters," Duanyu Fan said helplessly.

"Yue Guan! How are you?" Bibi Dong turned to look at the excited Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Your Majesty the Pope, Holy Son, I successfully reached Level 96, becoming a Super Douluo! Moreover, my martial soul's attack power has increased by at least fifty percent." Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke in wild delight.

"Congratulations, Chrysanthemum Elder. Your strength has greatly advanced." Duanyu Fan noticed that Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed more masculine now. After absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, its effect of reducing his feminine aura was quite apparent.

"Very good! The Immortal Herb matching your Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was not wasted." Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised. His Soul Power had increased by more than a full level; one had to know that the gap between each level of Soul Power for a Titled Douluo was even greater.

"It is all thanks to Your Majesty the Pope and the Holy Son for bringing me to this Yin Yang Extremes Spring." Chrysanthemum Douluo knew very well that even after reaching Level 96, he was still no match for Bibi Dong. He understood Bibi Dong's strength clearly—killing him would be as easy as turning a hand over.

That was why Duanyu Fan trusted Chrysanthemum Douluo enough to bring him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Not long afterward, Dugu Yan woke up as well. She opened her eyes in delight and looked at Duanyu Fan, seemingly about to throw herself at him, but Dugu Bo pulled her back.

"Yan'er, what are you trying to do?" Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan and asked.

"Grandfather, I want to thank the Holy Son!" Dugu Yan was still brimming with excitement.

"Go on, then! How effective was it?" Seeing Dugu Yan so excited, Duanyu Fan assumed she had received a tremendous boost.

"Grandfather! Look, I'll summon my martial soul." Dugu Yan released her martial soul. To everyone's surprise, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was gone, replaced by an emerald-green dragon.

"My martial soul has evolved into a poison dragon. I call it the Bi Lin Poison Dragon martial soul. Its poison has been greatly enhanced, and my Soul Power has reached Level 30. I can obtain a Soul Ring at any time. My First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill have both become stronger in control and attack power." Dugu Yan excitedly explained her condition.

"What! It evolved into a top-tier beast martial soul—and a dragon-type martial soul at that?" Dugu Bo had not expected Dugu Yan to evolve beyond even his own Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul.

Uh, well! Duanyu Fan had not expected the Earth Dragon Golden Silk Gourd to improve Dugu Yan so greatly. There was still an enormous difference between serpent and dragon martial souls.

"It is good that you have improved, but if you dare leave Spirit Hall after this, Poison Douluo, you should know the consequences." Looking at the excited grandfather and granddaughter, Bibi Dong poured cold water over them.

"Your Majesty the Pope, we would never dare. We are already immensely grateful to the Holy Son. We can never repay the Holy Son's kindness, and we will devote our lives to serving Your Majesty the Pope and the Holy Son of Spirit Hall for fulfilling our wishes." Dugu Bo immediately declared his stance.

"It had better be so," Bibi Dong said flatly.

Duanyu Fan also felt that Bibi Dong's warning was necessary. Human hearts were hard to predict, after all. He sighed at Dugu Yan's transformation; perhaps she had gained the most from this expedition.

I'll post each chapter once it's written for everyone to enjoy. Readers who followed my previous book know that I don't stockpile chapters. That's one of my flaws—when my last book went premium, I did not even have any saved chapters.
