"Uh... apparently not."
Ye Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Teacher, I feel like quite a few immortal herbs are growing in your herb garden, but the ancient book I read back then was incomplete, and it recorded only a limited number of immortal herbs."
"So I can only recognize some of the immortal herbs here."
"And among those immortal herbs, none can evolve your and Yanyan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Souls."
"There is only one immortal herb that can evolve fire-attributed bird-type Martial Souls and jewel-type Martial Souls."
"Damn it!"
Dugu Bo's face darkened as he could not help swearing.
If one of the immortal herbs growing in this garden could evolve their Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Souls, that would have been wonderful.
Compared to his Innate Soul Power of rank eight,
his granddaughter only had Innate Soul Power of rank seven. Her future potential was truly worrying.
Who would have thought that among so many immortal herbs, there would not be one!
"A Yu, are there any immortal herbs here that can evolve your Martial Soul?"
At the side, having learned that immortal herbs could actually evolve Martial Souls, Dugu Yan's exquisite, beautiful face, full of heroic spirit, was filled with delight and concern as she immediately asked Ye Yu.
"Hehe."
Ye Yu smiled.
"There is an immortal herb here that is very suitable for my Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul. It should be able to strengthen it considerably."
"But whether it can evolve it or not, I don't know."
"Oh, right!"
With a smile on his face, Ye Yu turned to Dugu Bo again.
"Teacher, although there are no immortal herbs here that can evolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, there is one that can raise Yanyan's cultivation and enhance her talent and potential for cultivation."
"Which immortal herb? Which immortal herb?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was instantly overjoyed and immediately pressed him for an answer.
In response, Ye Yu walked toward the surroundings of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He stopped before an immortal herb resembling an orchid, entirely snow-white and crystalline, with a flower boasting eight petals. It emitted a strange fragrance and appeared lofty and otherworldly.
It was the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid!
"It's this immortal herb. It's called the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid!"
At Ye Yu's identification,
Dugu Bo had originally been very excited, ready to pluck it immediately and give it to his granddaughter.
But all of a sudden, Dugu Bo could not help hesitating.
He had suffered from the immortal herbs here before.
These strangely shaped immortal herbs were all far from simple.
That especially icy and blazing immortal herb
had nearly injured him back then just from a touch.
What if the ancient book this brat had read contained incorrect records?
Worried that Dugu Yan might get hurt, Dugu Bo cleared his throat a few times and said to Ye Yu,
"Little Yu! Since you were the first to discover the immortal herbs in my herb garden, you should pick a few to consume first!"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Yu was practically speechless with amusement.
Of course, he did not think this Old Poison Master was concerned about him.
Most likely, the Old Poison Master did not quite dare believe what he had said.
He wanted Ye Yu to test the waters first!
Ye Yu readily agreed.
You're letting me choose first, so I won't hold back!
"Teacher, I'll choose this one first!"
Ye Yu walked directly toward the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, pointed at it, and smiled.
"This is an immortal herb too?"
Dugu Bo froze for a moment.
He could understand that plants such as the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Infernal Delicate Apricot were medicinal herbs.
But bamboo like the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo could count as a medicinal herb too?
That was rather rare in the herbal studies of the Douluo Continent!
"Yes! This is the immortal herb I mentioned that is very suitable for my Martial Soul."
Nodding with a smile, Ye Yu stepped forward and snapped off an Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot growing from the roots of the cluster of Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, wrapped in layer upon layer of dark jade shoot sheaths.
The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo was rather special, and so was the way it was consumed.
He certainly could not just gnaw on bamboo!
He was not a panda. His teeth were not that good.
The way to consume the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo was to eat the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoots that grew from its roots.
After snapping off the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot,
Ye Yu quickly peeled away the thick dark jade shoot sheaths.
This revealed the tender, glistening Ink Jade Bamboo Shoot at the very center.
After sitting cross-legged on the ground,
Ye Yu took a few bites and swallowed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot.
It tasted sweet and refreshing, carrying a wonderfully subtle bamboo fragrance that left an endless aftertaste.
As he felt a vast medicinal potency rise from his abdomen,
Ye Yu immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, emptied his mind and body, and began cultivating the Inner Elixir Method.
In an instant, a Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul as thick as a vine, silver-blue all over, with a crystal-clear surface resembling blue crystal, appeared.
Baptized by the medicinal potency of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot,
time continued to pass.
The Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul gradually began to change.
Originally, the Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul only had a crystal-clear outer surface that resembled blue crystal.
Inside, it was still its normal silver-blue color.
But under the baptism of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot's medicinal potency,
the inside of the Blue Silver Vine gradually became crystal-clear as well, like blue crystal. Its leaves became longer and narrower, while the veins on its vines and leaves turned golden.
It visibly became nobler and tougher.
It seemed to have acquired some of the qualities of bamboo plants from the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.
At the side, Dugu Bo was utterly dumbfounded, muttering to himself,
"These immortal herbs really can evolve Martial Souls!"
As for Dugu Yan, she was incomparably excited and happy for Ye Yu.
A Yu's Martial Soul evolved again!
A Yu's Martial Soul should now count as a high-grade Martial Soul, capable of cultivating beyond the Soul Sage realm.
Grandfather should not refuse to let me be with Ye Yu anymore, right?!
After refining the medicinal potency of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot,
Ye Yu slowly opened his eyes. Feeling that his physical constitution had improved considerably again, he was immensely delighted and satisfied.
While using the Inner Elixir Method to refine the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot's medicinal potency,
perhaps because the Inner Elixir Method was rather special,
it was a cultivation method capable of cultivating the body, soul power, and Spiritual Power at the same time.
Ye Yu discovered that the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot's medicinal potency had not only transformed into soul power within his body.
A considerable portion had also fused into his body, significantly improving his physical constitution!
However, his Spiritual Power had not improved much.
The medicinal potency of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo likely had no effect in that regard.
Even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice!
"A Yu, your Martial Soul evolved!"
Seeing Ye Yu open his eyes, Dugu Yan immediately announced the good news with great excitement.
Hearing this, Ye Yu stretched out his hand and summoned his Martial Soul.
He was delighted to discover
that the Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul had undergone considerable changes.
Though its thickness had not changed much, its entire body had become crystal-clear like blue crystal. Its leaves had grown longer and narrower, and the veins within the vines and on the leaves had all turned golden.
Looking at the evolved Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul,
Ye Yu thought to himself as he flicked his hand and willed it into action.
The evolved Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul in his hand instantly straightened.
Numerous blue-crystal-like vines rapidly sprouted from its main stem, intertwining as they grew.
In the end, they formed a blue crystal spear with an exceptionally sharp tip that shot out violently and plunged deep into the ground in an open patch of land!
"Not bad! Not bad!"
After consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot and evolving the Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul,
the evolved Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul had indeed gained a considerable increase in toughness and strength, becoming like bamboo.
Ye Yu could not help feeling immensely satisfied and delighted.
"I'll call you the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine!"
Looking at the evolved Blue Silver Vine Martial Soul in his hand, Ye Yu gave it a new name.
After testing the strength of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine,
Ye Yu faintly sensed that the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine seemed to possess another special ability.
Curious, he could not help wanting to try it.
With just a thought,
silver-blue light instantly burst forth from Ye Yu's body, rapidly spreading outward and enveloping the space within a radius of ten meters.
