After a long while.
Ye Liuli's ears reddened as she released Xu Hanfeng.
She hardly dared to look at him.
She had gotten too excited just now.
Xu Hanfeng gave a light cough and changed the subject.
"Aunt Ye, what's your Soul Power level now?"
"Level eighty."
"Then Aunt Ye is almost a Spirit Douluo."
"That's thanks to you."
Sensing how awkward the conversation had become, Xu Hanfeng immediately turned away.
"When the time comes, Grandpa Dugu, Aunt Ye's eighth Soul Ring will be up to you."
"Don't worry."
"Grandpa Dugu, this is for you—the Nether Poison Dragon Kui."
The Nether Poison Dragon Kui was black as ink, its surface covered in blood-red patterns. Touching it caused a faint prickling pain.
It resembled a snake's head, with sharp petals like scales, and its dark green glow was soul-stirring.
"Grandpa Dugu, use the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's venom as a catalyst. Refine this Immortal Herb into a 'Poison Pill,' then swallow it."
"Alright."
Dugu Bo followed Xu Hanfeng's instructions and ultimately consumed the Immortal Herb.
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly began absorbing the Immortal Herb's power.
Xu Hanfeng looked toward Ye Liuli.
As if sensing his gaze, Ye Liuli slightly raised her head.
Their eyes met.
Thinking of what had just happened, Ye Liuli's cheeks suddenly flushed a vivid red, and she turned away.
Xu Hanfeng wanted to laugh.
He had never expected Aunt Ye to have such a shy side.
Ye Liuli hid her bashful expression behind her long hair.
This brat...
Before long.
Dugu Bo had absorbed the Immortal Herb as well.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Dugu Yan asked.
"I feel great. I'm already level ninety-four, and even the Jade Python Emperor's venom has grown stronger. It didn't evolve, but this is enough."
Dugu Bo's face was full of smiles.
"Grandpa, will the stronger venom affect you?" Dugu Yan was deeply worried.
It had taken so much effort just to suppress the toxins in her grandfather's body.
"Don't worry. My Medusa Skull can store a great deal of venom, and I have other Thousand-Year Soul Bones as well. It's enough."
"Besides, Xiao Feng will come up with a solution."
Xu Hanfeng nodded. "Of course. I already have an idea, but my Soul Power isn't high enough."
"Take it slow."
"Xiao Feng, it's time for you to consume an Immortal Herb next."
"Alright."
Xu Hanfeng took out the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
Though this Immortal Herb could help enhance certain eye-type martial souls,
it could also grant immense Spiritual Power, which was what Xu Hanfeng needed.
After swallowing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew,
Xu Hanfeng's body suddenly trembled. He felt a cool sensation rush straight to the crown of his head.
His Sea of Consciousness became much clearer, and even his mind felt refreshed.
Xu Hanfeng hurriedly closed his eyes and focused.
A moment later, he felt a faint swelling pain between his brows.
But it quickly transformed into a pleasantly numb sensation.
He could clearly feel his Spiritual Power growing at a visible rate.
The range of his perception expanded exponentially.
As time passed, Xu Hanfeng slowly opened his eyes. They were limpid as autumn waters, deep and bright.
His Spiritual Power had risen to an extremely high level.
Compared to before, it had more than doubled.
Xu Hanfeng felt that his current Spiritual Power could allow Tang Ya to manifest Spiritual Power externally.
He could even compress a Life Energy Cluster.
"Whew..."
"Xiao Feng, are you alright?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"I'm fine. My Spiritual Power just increased too much all at once."
Xu Hanfeng slowly stood up.
He found two more Immortal Herbs meant to improve the physique.
With the Soul Bone Card added in, he could already absorb a Ten Thousand Year third ring.
But since his Spiritual Power had become so much stronger, shouldn't he absorb an even stronger Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?
The physique was the top priority.
One Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
One Dragon Blood Bone Forging Ganoderma.
Immortal Herb: Dragon Blood Bone Forging Ganoderma
Effect: Tempers the body with dragon blood and refines the meridians with lightning.
Recommendation: Refine it with "Earth Dragon Golden Melon" and "Crimson Flame Spirit Marrow" into a "Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill."
Upon seeing the Dragon Blood Bone Forging Ganoderma's description,
Xu Hanfeng was somewhat surprised.
This Dragon Blood Bone Forging Ganoderma could even be used to refine medicine.
But the cost was truly enormous.
It took three whole Immortal Herbs.
Xu Hanfeng grew curious about the effects of the Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill.
It seemed extraordinary. With three Immortal Herbs, even trash could become a genius.
Xu Hanfeng planned to give it a try.
In any case, these Immortal Herbs could only be used by him.
Xu Hanfeng had a feeling that the Douluo Compendium would contain special cards later on that could improve Sister Xiao Tao and the others' strength.
After consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum,
not only did Xu Hanfeng's physique improve greatly, but his Soul Power also reached level thirty.
"Damn... It really is an Immortal Herb. This effect is absurd!"
"Yeah, one Immortal Herb can change a person's fate."
"The value of these Immortal Herbs is simply too high."
Everyone cried out in amazement.
"That's right. One Immortal Herb is enough to give an ordinary soul master the potential to become a Title Douluo."
As he spoke, Xu Hanfeng came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and planted the Blue Silver Emperor with golden patterns.
"Xiao Feng, is this Blue Silver Grass?" Ye Liuli asked curiously.
"It feels different, doesn't it? It has golden patterns now." Dugu Bo shook his head.
"This is the Blue Silver Emperor—Tang Hao's wife."
"Huh!?"
"Ah!!"
Apart from Tang Ya, Ma Xiaotao, and those who already knew, everyone else was dumbfounded.
"X-Xiao Feng, where did you steal Clear Sky Douluo's wife from?"
Even Dugu Yan's voice trembled.
If they were discovered, wouldn't they be finished?
"Forget his wife. I even stole the Soul Bone."
Xu Hanfeng smiled.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
"Mm, it's with me."
Tang Ya moved her right leg.
"Damn... Xiao Feng, you're ruthless." Dugu Bo gave him a thumbs-up.
"Xiao Feng, won't you be discovered?" Ye Liuli was very worried.
The Clear Sky Douluo's strength was not to be underestimated.
The moment he became a Title Douluo, he had been able to smash the previous Pope to death.
Even if Dugu Bo had reached level ninety-four, he would still be no match.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye. Who would think that a soul master would dare steal a Soul Bone and a soul beast?"
"You've got some nerve." Dugu Bo nodded.
"Besides, Tang Hao only wanted the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Ring and Soul Bone back then. What I did counts as saving the Blue Silver Emperor."
After being planted, the Blue Silver Emperor was visibly much happier.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was exceptionally beneficial to the growth of Plant Soul Beasts.
"What do you mean?" Ye Liuli was intrigued.
Dugu Bo crossed his arms, looking like he wanted to hear the story too.
Xu Hanfeng's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed people in any world liked this sort of gossip.
"Aunt Ye, Grandpa Dugu, do you know where I found the Blue Silver Emperor?"
"At Tang Hao's home?"
"No, in a stone chamber behind a waterfall."
"What! A place without sunlight?" Ye Liuli was dumbfounded.
"Yes."
"Tang Hao is truly ruthless. Is that really his wife? Plant Soul Beasts need sunlight, no matter how strong or weak they are. The only difference is how long they can endure without it."
Dugu Bo clicked his tongue.
"Wait... something's wrong. Didn't the Blue Silver Emperor sacrifice herself?"
