Primordial Unity, Ink Jade Phoenix

"tsk, tsk, Lin Xiao, everyone says a girl changes eighteen times before adulthood, looking different every time."

"But your change is far more impressive than that!"

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at Lin Xiao.

This boy had changed so drastically that he looked like an entirely different person!

Moreover, Dugu Bo had roamed the Soul Master World for many years. What strange and bizarre things had he not seen? Yet he had truly never seen a Martial Soul that could switch forms!

Lin Xiao said coolly:

"After switching Martial Soul forms, my appearance is indeed affected, but my mind has remained clear the entire time. There's no difference from normal."

Ye Qingxian stepped forward and squeezed Lin Xiao's arm.

So hard!

Had his muscle density increased? It was probably not merely because his physique had been enhanced after consuming Immortal Grass. More of it must be related to his current Ink Jade Phoenix Form.

"You just said that after evolving into the Ink Jade Phoenix, you gained the attributes of being Indestructible and immune to corrosion?"

"Being Indestructible is easy enough to understand. After Martial Soul Possession, your physical strength increased greatly, right? But what exactly do you mean by being immune to corrosion?"

As she ran her hands over Lin Xiao's body and tested his physical strength, Ye Qingxian questioned him.

She needed to conduct a systematic investigation.

Only after becoming familiar with Lin Xiao's body could she prepare personalized Medicinal Bath and Medicinal Cuisine formulas for him, maximizing the effectiveness of his cultivation.

Come to think of it, she had never been this attentive even toward that girl Ling Ling!

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment before saying:

"It means I won't be corroded by Evil attributes, and I can also resist most control effects. It's not just ice, fire, lightning, and wind... There are all sorts of other things too."

Put simply.

After the Destruction Phoenix evolved into the Ink Jade Phoenix, the two additional attributes were Dominant Body and Damage Immunity!

Dugu Bo, who was standing nearby, felt his scalp go numb. Lin Xiao might as well report every single attribute while he was at it!

Wait!

Could this boy even be immune to the poison he produced after evolving?

Still unwilling to give up, Dugu Bo secretly released some poison.

Ahem, he had no ill intentions toward Lin Xiao, and it absolutely wasn't for the sake of his pride or anything. He mainly wanted to test whether Lin Xiao could resist his poison.

If he couldn't, it would at least serve as a warning.

Then Dugu Bo quietly waited.

One minute, two minutes...

Lin Xiao showed no reaction whatsoever!

Dugu Bo: "..."

Martial Soul Evolution was clearly something worth celebrating, but why did he suddenly feel less happy about it?

At that moment, Ye Qingxian clapped her hands and exclaimed:

"Lin Xiao, do you know how terrifying your physical strength is now? It's close to that of a Soul Elder! And that's without you obtaining your Second Soul Ring! In terms of sheer toughness, you've already surpassed many Soul Elders!"

"Add in your immunity to all kinds of skill effects and that terrifying Jet-Black Phoenix Fire, and you're now an all-around king of one-on-one combat with immense attack power, defense, and agility!"

"What a monster!"

Ye Qingxian suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Dugu Bo.

"Right, Senior Poison Douluo, weren't you going to test whether Lin Xiao could resist your poison? Try it now and see just how strong his so-called immunity to corrosion is."

Dugu Bo fell silent.

Ye Qingxian: ?

What was wrong with Poison Douluo?

He looked a little dejected. Had she said something wrong?

Lin Xiao also looked at Dugu Bo strangely.

This Old Poisonous Thing had wanted to regain his dignity earlier, hadn't he? Now that he had the chance to poison him, he wasn't doing it anymore, as though he already knew it would be useless.

Wait, something seemed wrong?!

Lin Xiao stared at Dugu Bo in shock.

"Senior Dugu, don't tell me you already secretly poisoned me?"

"You can't be this devious!"

A flush of embarrassment crossed Dugu Bo's face, and he turned away.

He didn't want to speak now. He only wanted to sit quietly!

"Pfft~"

Ye Qingxian rarely burst out laughing.

"If that's the case, it means your immunity to corrosion is extremely strong, Lin Xiao."

"Switch your Martial Soul form back."

Lin Xiao dispelled the Ink Jade Phoenix Form. His height immediately shrank, and his body and appearance rapidly returned to their original forms.

Ye Qingxian reached out and rubbed Lin Xiao's head.

"You're cuter when you're smaller."

"You suddenly became almost as tall as me just now. I'm still not used to it."

Lin Xiao said indignantly, "But I don't want to be cute!"

"Haha, once you grow up, if you want to return to how you were before, it'll truly be impossible. Cherish the time you have now. Every stage of life has its own precious qualities."

In reality, every stage of life had its own regrets.

But that applied to Ye Qingxian.

She hoped Lin Xiao would have no regrets.

Only a child would want to grow up as quickly as possible, right?

Ye Qingxian asked:

"Lin Xiao, what level is your Soul Power now?"

"I'm already Level 20. There's still some energy left in my body, but I won't be able to continue improving until I obtain a Soul Ring."

By a rough estimate, four months had passed since Lin Xiao left Suotuo City.

During that time, he had hunted a Fire Cauterizing Bird that was over five hundred years old, raising his Soul Power to Level 12. He had then cultivated to Level 14. After absorbing the Immortal Grass and the Soul Ring he would hunt later, he should be able to reach Level 25 or 26.

It was worth mentioning that because he had undergone Evil Fire Body Tempering repeatedly, Lin Xiao's Soul Power had also been refined and purified continuously. Both its power and endurance far surpassed those of Soul Masters at the same level.

"You're about to soar like the great roc, rising with the wind in a single day."

Dugu Bo sighed emotionally nearby.

Ordinary Soul Masters couldn't even reach the Soul Grandmaster realm before the age of twelve. Even those with decent talent had to be eight or nine before becoming Soul Grandmasters, and by twelve, they were generally between Levels 25 and 29.

Yet Lin Xiao was not even seven years old and was already about to become a high-level Soul Grandmaster.

Ye Qingxian grew somewhat worried.

Although Lin Xiao's mentality was good, he was still a Youth. If he became arrogant or looked down on others because of this, he would eventually suffer the backlash.

"It's nothing special. In the eyes of true powerhouses, I'm still just a tiny ant."

Ye Qingxian first dampened Lin Xiao's pride.

What a dishonest thing to say!

Lin Xiao shifted his gaze to the Ice Fire Pool Water.

He had gone down to investigate before, but he hadn't discovered anything unusual. Perhaps the time wasn't right yet. Still, he would come to check regularly in the future.

After all, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was also an excellent place for secluded cultivation.

Lin Xiao shifted his gaze back and gave Dugu Bo a radiant smile.

"Senior Dugu, Aunt Qingxian and I both need to hunt Soul Rings, so I'll leave it to you!"

They happened to have the strongest laborer right here!

Of course they had to make full use of him!

Dugu Bo smiled proudly. "Very well. I'll let you witness This Old Man's methods!"

It had to be said that after his Martial Soul Evolution, Dugu Bo felt itchy all over.

He really wanted to beat someone up! Yue Guan in particular!

However, Yue Guan's Soul Power was currently Level 95, while he was only Level 93, so he didn't have absolute confidence of victory.

Just wait until This Old Man developed a little further!

As for now, he would first use some Spirit Beasts to practice!

"Let's first go to the Sunset Forest and see whether there are any suitable Spirit Beasts. If not, we'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest. It has everything!"

"Let's get moving!"
