How Should Bluesilver Grass Be Cultivated?

Zhou Sichen actually had a pretty good impression of Tang Ya. This girl was all curves and no brains, but she had a kind heart.

So Zhou Sichen decided to tell Tang Ya what he thought. As for whether she appreciated it, that was none of his concern.

Zhou Sichen suddenly said, "Tang Ya, I think it would be better for your Third Soul Ring to be a Plant-Type Soul Beast."

Tang Ya paused slightly. Hadn't they just been talking about little Yuhao? Why was he suddenly giving her advice?

"Huh?" Tang Ya looked at Zhou Sichen's broad back. "Why do you say that? I think a Mandala Snake or a Man Faced Demon Spider would both be pretty good."

Zhou Sichen did not turn around. He merely said, "It's only a suggestion. You can hear me out, and if you think it's unnecessary, that's fine too."

Tang Ya giggled. "Thank you. So why would you suggest that?"

Zhou Sichen thought for a moment. Since Tang Ya still worshipped Tang San, the Tang Sect Ancestor, it was best not to speak ill of him.

Zhou Sichen said, "I've heard some things about the history of your Tang Sect. According to legend, your Tang Sect Ancestor's Martial Soul was not ordinary Bluesilver Grass, but the top-tier Plant-Type Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor. That was why he could obtain Soul Rings so freely."

"But you're different. Your Martial Soul is only ordinary Bluesilver Grass. To put it bluntly, with such a useless Martial Soul, your upper limit is extremely limited."

"Still, your talent is indeed excellent. You've cultivated a supposedly useless Martial Soul this quickly. But if you want to continue improving in the future, the best method is to raise the bloodline of your Bluesilver Grass."

As Tang Ya listened to Zhou Sichen, her beautiful eyes stirred. Everything he had said was completely accurate.

She never would have imagined that Zhou Sichen possessed such a wealth of Martial Soul theory at his age.

Tang Ya could not help asking, "Then according to your advice, what should I do?"

Zhou Sichen explained slowly, "My suggestion is for you to find a Plant-Type Soul Beast with powerful vitality for your Third Soul Ring. Your later Soul Rings can follow that direction as well."

"If you can find a Ten Thousand Year Level Blue Silver King for your Fifth Soul Ring or Sixth Soul Ring, then your Martial Soul will definitely evolve."

"However, Bluesilver Grass is extremely special. Only one emperor appears in each generation, so the limit you can reach in the future may only be the Blue Silver King."

"But even the Blue Silver King is enough to rival a high-level Martial Soul. It will make your future cultivation path much smoother."

Listening to Zhou Sichen's analysis, Tang Ya did not know whether she should believe him. The Tang Sect Ancestor was a living example, yet Zhou Sichen's words made a great deal of sense.

No, it was more than simply making sense. It seemed that the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul was supposed to be cultivated this way.

Had she been wrong about her cultivation path all along? Her first two Soul Rings had both happened to be Plant-Type, so was that why she had not gone astray?

Without even looking, Zhou Sichen knew Tang Ya had to be hesitating. On one side was the path walked by her ancestor; on the other was merely the advice of a friend she had known for one night.

But since he had already said this much, Zhou Sichen had no intention of giving up so easily.

As Tang Ya hesitated, Zhou Sichen continued, "I'll only ask you one question. Aside from your Tang Sect Ancestor, how did every Tang Sect Master after him fare in cultivating the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul?"

That single sentence struck Tang Ya like a thunderbolt. She froze where she sat, and after a long while, she looked at Zhou Sichen's back with disbelief in her eyes.

Because Zhou Sichen was absolutely right. Apart from Ancestor Tang San, every Tang Sect Master afterward had possessed low cultivation. Even the strongest had only barely broken through to the Soul King realm...

Tang Ya was indeed carefree and careless, but she had always taken cultivation extremely seriously.

Because she wanted revenge. She wanted to reclaim the Tang Sect's foundation. She even wanted to keep pace with Beibei, so she had always been the one who worked the hardest at cultivation over the years.

After a long while, Tang Ya urgently asked, "Then what Plant-Type Soul Beast should I choose for my Third Soul Ring?"

Hearing the urgency in Tang Ya's voice, Zhou Sichen could not help viewing her in a different light. Her wavering meant that she had the courage to change—to alter the path her ancestor had walked.

Zhou Sichen said softly, "Adamantine Vine."

"Adamantine Vine?" Tang Ya was somewhat confused.

Zhou Sichen nodded. "That's right. Adamantine Vine grows within the harshest Rock Shell environments. Not only does it possess powerful vitality, it also has hardness and toughness comparable to steel."

After a pause, Zhou Sichen said, "I remember that your Tang Sect secret arts include a move called Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and the Hundred Solutions for Hidden Weapons, right?"

Tang Ya was quite surprised. "You even know about that?"

Zhou Sichen smiled. "I'm very interested in the secrets of the major powers across the continent, so I've studied them all somewhat. I just never had the opportunity to learn them."

Tang Ya nodded, but she was still puzzled. "But what does that have to do with choosing Adamantine Vine for my Third Soul Ring?"

"Of course it does. Just imagine it—if your Bluesilver Grass leaves possessed the hardness of steel, then combined with your Tang Sect's unique hidden weapon techniques, wouldn't that make them an inexhaustible arsenal of hidden weapons?"

That one sentence seemed to strike Tang Ya's mind with another heavy hammer. Zhou Sichen's words were like an enlightening revelation, and a bold idea instantly surfaced in her mind.

"Ah!" Tang Ya could not help crying out.

Beibei and Huo Yuhao, who had been listening intently nearby, were both startled.

Tang Ya immediately grabbed Beibei by the shoulders and shook him vigorously. Looking at Tang Ya's excited face, Beibei could not help asking, "Xiao Ya, are you... are you all right?"

Tang Ya released Beibei and said excitedly, "Beibei, did you hear that? What an incredible idea! How did we never think of it?"

Hearing Tang Ya's words, Beibei could not help taking a deep look at Zhou Sichen's back.

He was a Tang Sect disciple, and Tang Ya was the one who had initiated him into the sect, so Beibei knew all of the Tang Sect's secret arts.

Precisely because of that, he understood what Zhou Sichen's words had meant.

This was undoubtedly the cultivation method best suited for Bluesilver Grass in this era. And because Tang Ya knew the Tang Sect Secret Techniques, it opened a unique path for this cultivation method.

Tang Ya was not the only one excited. Beibei's heart was just as unsettled.

Zhou Sichen might have spoken only a few simple sentences, but to Tang Ya, those words represented her future prospects and development.

Tang Ya was already somewhat incoherent. She had originally only thought Zhou Sichen was handsome and pleasant to listen to, which was why she had boldly invited him to travel with them.

She had never expected him to give her such a surprise!

Tang Ya clasped her hands into fists and bowed deeply to Zhou Sichen. Since she was seated, her forehead pressed directly against the shell of the Ice Jade Scorpion.

"Benefactor above, accept a bow from Tang Ya!"

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen turned around. His expression became somewhat strange as he looked at Tang Ya in that pose, and he reached out to help her up.

Zhou Sichen said helplessly, "I can't accept this. I only made a suggestion. As for what you do, I won't interfere."

Tang Ya shook her head. "This is no ordinary suggestion. Your words helped me find my path forward and let me see the light. From this day on, you are my, Tang Ya's, great benefactor!"

Zhou Sichen was rather helpless about this. Seeing how serious Tang Ya was, he figured that nothing he said would matter.

Zhou Sichen could only look helplessly at Beibei beside her, but Beibei merely smiled. "Xiao Ya is my teacher. Her benefactor is my benefactor."

Zhou Sichen: "..."

Tang Ya did not care whether Zhou Sichen was willing to accept it. She moved closer and said, "Brother Zhou, quickly tell me in detail what you think about how my Bluesilver Grass should be cultivated."

After a pause, Tang Ya seemed to feel that this was inappropriate and put on a pitiful expression. "Brother Zhou, you also know how difficult it is to cultivate the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul. You wouldn't want to see Xiao Ya become useless in the future, would you?"

"And I'll pay! As long as it's something I can offer, I absolutely won't bat an eye!"
