Refining Immortal Grade

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could not be swallowed. Instead, it had to be used like eye drops and dripped onto the eyes.

There were two drops of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in total. Kong dripped one into each eye before sitting cross-legged and beginning to refine it.

Time passed bit by bit. Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the first to open his eyes was not Dugu Bo, who had begun Refining Immortal Grade first, but Yu Yuanzhen, who had swallowed two immortal grades at once!

When Yu Yuanzhen opened his eyes, he subconsciously withdrew the pressure of his Soul Power.

At that moment, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were filled with confusion and delight, and he could not regain his senses for a long while.

After quite some time, he sensed his own Soul Power and finally realized that this was not a dream.

"Level 97 Peak. My bloodline power has advanced another step..."

"If this old man is given another five years, I will surely break through the threshold of Level 98..."

"Bloodline power..."

Yu Yuanzhen murmured.

He had never imagined that the effects of this divine treasure would be so good!

The current him could fight at least 1.7 of his former self.

Although his Soul Power had only risen by one level, his overall Battle Power had nearly doubled!

This was the gap after Level 95. A single level made for a world of difference!

Yu Yuanzhen stood there in a daze for a while longer before rising to his feet, intending to see what his precious grandson was doing.

Just then, a resounding dragon roar erupted from Dugu Bo's little wooden cabin in the distance, echoing throughout the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Yu Yuanzhen: "???"

Wasn't Dugu Bo's Martial Soul the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor?

What was with that dragon roar?

As Yu Yuanzhen wondered, Dugu Bo appeared before him. Under Martial Soul Possession, a single horn had grown from Dugu Bo's forehead—one could also call it a poison horn.

The snake scales on his body had evolved into dragon scales. Though the two looked similar, the differences could still be spotted upon closer inspection.

His hands had likewise turned into dragon claws, verdant green and rather terrifying to behold.

The resistance of a Dragon Martial Soul was far beyond that of a snake Martial Soul. After Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Evolution, nearly all the poison in his body had been used to condense the dragon horn on his forehead.

Fortunately, there was enough poison in his body. Otherwise, if that dragon horn had condensed into some tiny little thing, where would Dugu Bo's dignity have gone?

Dugu Yan probably would not be so fortunate. Her dragon horn would definitely be tiny, since the Martial Soul Poison in her body was not yet sufficient.

"Ha ha ha..."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily. "This old man's Martial Soul has transformed into a dragon. From now on, it shall be called the Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor!"

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had been cultivated to this extent, yet he still did not dare call it an emperor. Dugu Bo really had some nerve!

After releasing his Martial Soul Possession, Dugu Bo's green hair disappeared, returning to the gray-white color of an ordinary old man.

He walked toward Yu Yuanzhen with a smile. "Sect Master, my strength has increased by two levels, reaching Level 93."

"Who knows? I might surpass you someday!"

Having just awakened, Dugu Bo needed someone to show off to, and Yu Yuanzhen happened to be the best target.

"This old man is at Level 97 Peak."

Yu Yuanzhen folded his arms and replied indifferently.

Dugu Bo: "..."

This old bastard had no Martial Morality!

When had he broken through to Level 97? And he was at the peak, too?

Hadn't he been Level 96 before?

As the sect master of one of the Upper Three Sects, Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation had not been a secret before this.

He needed to deter petty threats, so it was only natural for his Soul Power Level to be somewhat public.

It was the same for Chen Xin and Gu Rong. Their Soul Power Levels were not secrets either.

On the contrary, the Soul Power Levels of certain elders within the sect were secret!

Titled Douluo were akin to nuclear weapons that intimidated the world. Their exact destructive power was clearly displayed for all to see—whether they could be provoked or not, people had better think carefully!

Those Soul Douluo-level elders, however, were the sect's foundation. Who would casually reveal how much foundation they possessed? Perhaps one day, one of those hidden reserves would break through to become a Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted. Thinking about it carefully, he had already joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The stronger Yu Yuanzhen was, the better it was for him, wasn't it?

If Yu Yuanzhen could break through to Level 98, or even Level 99, then as the Vice Sect Master, wouldn't Dugu Bo rise with the tide?

"Congratulations, Sect Master!"

"Same to you, same to you!"

The two old schemers smiled at each other, completely forgetting about their earlier plan to seize the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

Just then, Kong, who had absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, also woke up. He had actually finished absorbing it long ago; he had merely been using his spiritual power to observe his surroundings.

His spiritual power now was an entirely different concept from before.

Previously, Kong could not project his spiritual power outward at all. He could only look inward.

Now, however, even without using his eyes, everything within a hundred meters appeared in his mind like a 3D-rendered image.

Only when Kong began to feel a little dizzy did he withdraw his spiritual power.

"Grandfather, Vice Sect Master, how do you feel?"

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo walking over side by side with smiles on their faces, Kong asked.

After absorbing two immortal herbs, Yu Yuanzhen should have accumulated enough foundation to break through to Level 97, right?

That was what Kong thought, but he had completely underestimated the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Yu Yuanzhen had not only reached Level 97 Peak; he was not far from Level 98 either.

"Very good. It feels unlike anything before!"

Dugu Bo said with a smile.

The Soul Power breakthrough was secondary. The main thing was that the Martial Soul Poison had been resolved.

Dugu Bo had been stuck at Level 91 for a very long time. Combined with the Soul Power enhancement from the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, breaking through to Level 93 was only natural.

"Ha ha ha, Kong! Your grandfather's Soul Power Level has reached Level 97 Peak!"

Yu Yuanzhen was far more pleased with himself than Dugu Bo. With his current strength, how many people in all of Douluo Continent could be his match?

Hearing this, Kong froze slightly. Level 97 Peak?

How was that possible?

As though he had thought of something, Kong continued asking Yu Yuanzhen, "Grandfather, did you completely refine those two immortal herbs?"

That was right. There was a huge difference between completely refining them and refining only a portion.

For example, after the Shrek Seven Devils received immortal herbs, not a single one of them completely refined them immediately. They slowly refined them over time afterward.

"Yes."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded. His Soul Power had previously been Level 96. Was there some problem with completely refining two immortal herbs?

After receiving Yu Yuanzhen's confirmation, Kong's eye twitched. It seemed that Yu Yuanzhen would be able to break through to Level 98 within the next couple of days!

As for Level 99, it was far too difficult. It could not be reached with just this little amount of immortal herbs, unless the Lovesick Heartbreak Red...
