Planting the Blue Silver Emperor

"You lost!"

Ye Yu slowly walked up and said to Yu Tianheng.

"I lost."

Wrapped in countless layers of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine, he could not move at all and could barely breathe.

Yu Tianheng's face was flushed red. Filled with shame and anguish, he admitted defeat.

He had thought...

This spirit battle was a guaranteed victory, that the advantage was his!

Yet he had lost so miserably!

From the start of the battle, he had not even lasted a minute before losing.

It could be said that he had been defeated instantly.

The gap in their strength was practically an impassable chasm!

Before Ye Yu, Yu Tianheng's confidence and pride had been shattered to pieces like banana leaves battered by rain.

He felt utterly dejected, even somewhat despairing.

How could anyone possibly defeat such a monster!

How could that be possible!

After Yu Tianheng admitted defeat,

Ye Yu dismissed the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine. The countless vines wrapped around Yu Tianheng instantly burst into silver-blue motes of light that filled the sky.

Yu Tianheng immediately collapsed to the ground.

However, still being in his Martial Soul Possession state, he did not feel much.

"Why did my Thunderous Might have absolutely no effect on your martial soul?"

As Yu Tianheng got to his feet and dismissed his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, he could not help asking.

"You guess?"

Ye Yu did not answer, merely replying with a faintly amused smile.

We're neither family nor friends. Would I tell you something like that?

Keep dreaming!

"You lost. Hand over the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique!"

Ye Yu simply held out his hand and demanded the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique.

Though he was reluctant to part with it,

and though the thought of being given a joint beating by his father and grandfather after returning made his scalp tingle,

Young Master Yu was a man who cared about his reputation!

With so many people witnessing this in public,

since he had put up the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique as a wager,

he had to honor his word if he lost!

Going back on the wager and refusing to fulfill it?

Young Master Yu could not afford to lose that much face!

Neither could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

"Take it!"

Yu Tianheng reluctantly took a handwritten copy of the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique's cultivation method from his Storage Spirit Tool and handed it to Ye Yu.

"And the one million Gold Soul Coins and the Storage Spirit Tool?"

After accepting the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique, Ye Yu continued to press him.

We're both men. Be quick about it!

Filled with grief and heartache, Yu Tianheng emptied his Storage Spirit Tool, the Jade Dragon Bracelet, and handed it to Ye Yu with trembling hands.

Along with it, he handed over a Soul Crystal Card containing one million Gold Soul Coins.

This Soul Crystal Card was unregistered and could be redeemed at any bank run by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

For a moment, Yu Tianheng felt as though his heart was bleeding!

After taking the Jade Dragon Bracelet and the Soul Crystal Card containing one million Gold Soul Coins,

Ye Yu put on the Jade Dragon Bracelet.

After confirming that the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique was genuine,

he stored both the Soul Crystal Card and the handwritten copy of the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique in the Storage Spirit Tool.

"Yanyan, Lingling, let's go!"

Feeling very satisfied, Ye Yu called to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and prepared to leave.

Although Dugu Bo had previously given him the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch from the original story, which could store living things,

Ye Yu planned to use the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch specifically for keeping and storing medicinal herbs in the future.

This Jade Dragon Bracelet was a perfect supplement!

After returning to the classroom,

the entire morning passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon,

after finishing lunch in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy cafeteria,

Ye Yu did not plan to remain in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy library to read this time.

Instead, he returned to Dugu Manor with Dugu Yan.

Inside a room specifically used to grow rare flowers and plants,

Dugu Yan handed Ye Yu a flowerpot covered tightly by a specially made iron-wire mesh cage. Inside grew a peculiar Blue Silver Grass, entirely silver-blue and as clear as blue crystal. Yet it was exceptionally slender, with fine golden lines covering its stems and leaves.

It was none other than Blue Silver Emperor A Yin!

After arriving in Heaven Dou Imperial City and settling into the small courtyard Qian Renxue had given him,

Ye Yu had originally planted Blue Silver Emperor A Yin in a flowerpot like an ordinary potted plant, tightly covered it with a specially made iron-wire mesh cage, and kept it at home.

Every day, he watered and fertilized it.

Ye Yu had also planted many Blue Silver Grasses in the courtyard.

But earlier, because he needed to undergo Ice Fire Body Tempering in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Ye Yu had been worried

that being away for too long would give A Yin an opportunity to escape.

Therefore, he had given Dugu Yan the key

and had her return to the courtyard to bring Blue Silver Emperor A Yin back home, where she could watch over and care for her properly.

However, from the time he had obtained Blue Silver Emperor A Yin until now,

several years had already passed.

Ye Yu could basically confirm that Blue Silver Emperor A Yin currently had no ability to move.

So now, Ye Yu intended to take Blue Silver Emperor A Yin to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and plant her there.

Although his martial soul had already evolved into the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine,

Ye Yu believed that the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine still had the potential to evolve further.

And the key material was Blue Silver Emperor A Yin!

But A Yin's current cultivation was likely only around a dozen years.

Ye Yu felt that was far too low!

No matter what, he had to cultivate Blue Silver Emperor A Yin until she had tens of thousands of years of cultivation before hunting her soul ring.

Only then would absorbing it have any effect,

allowing his martial soul to evolve to the level of a Blue Silver Emperor!

To achieve this goal,

he absolutely had to plant A Yin in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Besides that, Ye Yu also needed to plant a large amount of Blue Silver Grass around A Yin.

Every day, he would go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and cultivate through the Inner Elixir Method.

Using the Inner Elixir Method's Unity of Heaven and Man effect with the surrounding environment, he would guide Blue Silver Emperor A Yin and the surrounding Blue Silver Grass to resonate and cultivate together, accelerating Blue Silver Emperor A Yin's cultivation growth.

When Ye Yu was preparing to head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Dugu Bo,

Dugu Bo saw Blue Silver Emperor A Yin in the flowerpot in Ye Yu's hands. His sinister face could not help but fill with surprise.

"Little Yu, this Blue Silver Grass of yours seems rather unusual!"

"I don't know either. It just looks quite special."

"That's why I dug it up and planted it in a flowerpot."

Ye Yu smiled as he spoke.

"My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. I discovered that cultivating in places where a great deal of Blue Silver Grass grows can greatly increase my cultivation speed."

"So I plan to plant it at your Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Grandpa, and plant plenty of Blue Silver Grass around it too." (P.S. Ye Yu had also told Dugu Bo the name Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, using that incomplete ancient book as an excuse.)

"Then I'll cultivate here!"

Since Dugu Yan also wanted to come along and said she would help,

the three of them once again headed to Sunset Forest.

They arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

There, they found an open patch of ground.

Ye Yu took out a small shovel, dug a hole in the ground, and planted Blue Silver Emperor A Yin in it.

Sensing the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

as well as the unique environment that could accelerate the growth and cultivation of Plant Spirit Beasts,

Blue Silver Emperor A Yin's slender stems and leaves immediately began to sway gently, as though she were incomparably excited.

Afterward, Ye Yu scattered many Blue Silver Grass seeds he had brought around Blue Silver Emperor A Yin.

In the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

they would need only a few days

for this Blue Silver Grass to sprout and grow vigorously.
