Everyone's Improvements

"The Star Luo Spirit Pearl and Dark Jade Divine Bamboo haven't matured either. They'll need a few more years. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl will likely need another year of growth before it matures. Let me see what poisonous things there are... Snowy Swan Kiss, an herb that amplifies toxins. It possesses no toxicity itself. Interesting."

Chen Xilin began tending to the Herb Garden. It had to be said that Zi Ling's inherited memories from the Dragon Clan even contained knowledge of how to care for an herb garden.

After tending the Herb Garden, Chen Xilin planned to carve out a few caves for shelter. After all, they could not sleep beside the herb garden. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was within the mountains, and mountains surrounded it on all sides.

Boom—

"Hm?"

Chen Xilin sensed Dugu Bo's aura suddenly surge. He was about to awaken.

"Phew—" Dugu Bo exhaled a mouthful of green poisonous gas, which was swiftly ground away by the Icefire Spiritual Energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At this moment, Dugu Bo looked about the same age as Dugu Xin, like a young man in his twenties with a head of vivid green hair.

The image of Dugu Bo as an old man had turned into that of a young man. The difference before and after was quite huge.

"Could this be rejuvenation after being reborn?" Chen Xilin muttered to himself.

Feeling the Soul Power within him, Dugu Bo could barely suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.

"My Soul Power actually rose by two levels. The quality of my Soul Power has improved, and my physical constitution seems to have strengthened greatly as well. My current physical strength should be comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. My snake venom also seems much more potent. Let me take a look. Martial Soul Possession."

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent was one of the dragon-type Martial Souls, a rare Martial Soul.

At this moment, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had undergone a fundamental transformation. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent now had a pair of horns on its head, and the folds of skin beneath its head had flared open, giving it a terrifyingly intimidating presence.

Its scales gleamed with a dark green radiance, as though they contained endless toxicity. Its eyes were like two dazzling emeralds, flashing with a cold and cunning light.

"Has my Martial Soul evolved? The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. No wonder the snake venom has become so much stronger," Dugu Bo muttered.

"Uncle Bo, you look quite young now. It's just that your hair turned green again. Could it be that you've been poisoned again?" Chen Xilin said as he walked up to Dugu Bo.

"My hair turned green again?" Dugu Bo took a mirror from his Storage Spirit Tool and examined himself.

"I have become much younger. Standing beside Xin'er, we could probably pass for brothers. But why has my hair turned this color again? The Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Flower was indeed toxic, but I absorbed all of it into my Poison Core. My Poison Core has even grown two sizes larger. I haven't been poisoned, have I? There aren't any abnormal reactions either."

Dugu Bo was also somewhat puzzled. That head of green hair looked rather strange to him.

"Kid, is there anything else suitable for me? I feel that if I eat a few more kinds, I'll be able to break through to Titled Douluo," Dugu Bo said with a grin, draping one arm around Chen Xilin's shoulders.

"What are you thinking? You've only just finished taking them. Too many restorative herbs are harmful too. But I did prepare something good for you. If you can use it properly, becoming a Peerless Douluo in the future won't be out of reach. Come with me."

Chen Xilin led Dugu Bo before a snow-white immortal herb and had him remain at least five meters away from it.

The immortal herb was crystal-clear and snowy white from top to bottom. Every blade seemed as though it could drip water, long and curved like a swan's neck.

"Uncle Bo, look at that immortal herb. It is the key to your strength, but don't touch it for no reason. It can kill you. This immortal herb is called the Snowy Swan Kiss. If even a little gets on you, any virus in the area it touches will multiply hundreds or thousands of times. The deadly poison in your body will also intensify hundreds or thousands of times. If you touch it... well, your own snake venom will leave not even your bones behind."

Dugu Bo's hair stood on end after hearing Chen Xilin's words.

"You brat, are you joking with me? How could something so deadly become the key to my strength?" Dugu Bo looked at Chen Xilin speechlessly.

"I'm not telling you to eat it now. Wait until you break through to Titled Douluo in the future—no, Titled Douluo still won't be enough. You need to be at least a Peak Douluo, above Level 96, before you can use it. If you mess with this now, you'll really kill yourself. Think about it: most of your current strength is based on your Poison Core, and deadly poison will only nourish it. If your snake venom becomes hundreds or thousands of times stronger, you might truly become invincible. Even Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu and Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen would not dare come into contact with your snake venom. In the future, there could be a Peerless Douluo in the history of Spirit Masters who used poison to dominate the world—Poison Overlord. Doesn't that sound good?"

Chen Xilin's string of persuasion left Dugu Bo feeling rather elated. Poison Overlord was truly impossible to refuse.

"Then this old man is going to cultivate. Don't disturb me, brat. Poison Overlord! Hahahahaha!"

Not long after Dugu Bo left, Dugu Xin and Li Feiyan finished absorbing their immortal herbs as well.

Dugu Xin's Martial Soul had mutated. His Dragon Clan bloodline had become far more concentrated, and he had already transformed from a serpent into a dragon.

Its entire body was golden jade in color, its scales like beautiful jade. Its serpent head had become a dragon head, with four Dragon Claws beneath its belly and dragon Wings on its back—a living, breathing new dragon-type species.

"How do you feel, Brother Xin?" Chen Xilin asked.

"I feel great. My Soul Power actually rose by three levels, directly reaching the Level 60 bottleneck. My Martial Soul evolved too, and I now possess dual poison and earth attributes. Calling it the Jade Phosphorous Serpent now would no longer be accurate. Let's call it the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon."

Dugu Xin spoke with a smile, then looked toward his girlfriend, Li Feiyan.

Li Feiyan's Martial Soul was Wings, a very rare type of Martial Soul. Her Wings Martial Soul possessed a certain Wind Attribute. Calling it a beast Martial Soul did not seem accurate, since she did not undergo beastification, but calling it a tool Martial Soul was not accurate either.

Therefore, her path of cultivation had been completely uncharted. The Soul Rings she absorbed were all mainly from flying birds.

However, if there had been some old scholar well versed in Martial Soul theory, they might have known that Li Feiyan's Martial Soul was an alternative type of Innate Spirit. Those Wings were part of her own body.

However, in this era, not many people knew about Innate Spirits. Even Chen Xilin knew nothing about them.

After Li Feiyan absorbed the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone, her Soul Power reached the bottleneck of rank forty. She had originally been at rank thirty-seven, and breaking through to the bottleneck in one go was already quite good.

Moreover, Dugu Xin noticed that his girlfriend's skin seemed to have improved. She looked even more radiant, and Li Feiyan seemed to exude an immortal aura.

"Xin, why are you staring at me?" Li Feiyan sensed Dugu Xin's fixed gaze.

Chen Xilin tactfully left. The young couple was getting affectionate, so he would not stay and intrude.

Now, only Feng Qingyu had yet to finish. He was still within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, absorbing the energy of the Icefire Immortal Grass.

The Icefire Body Tempering was a tremendous opportunity. If Feng Qingyu endured this trial, his future would be boundless! Becoming a Titled Douluo would be as easy as taking something from his pocket.

Reaching Peak Douluo was practically guaranteed. The only question was whether Peerless Douluo would become his obstacle.
