Cultivation Plans for the Next Stage

After scattering Blue Silver Grass seeds around Blue Silver Emperor A Yin,

Ye Yu found an open space beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes, preparing to cultivate the Inner Elixir Method.

From the Blue Silver Grass martial soul with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power to the current Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine,

Ye Yu had now completed the goals of two stages.

First, the goal of the first stage had been to take advantage of Tang San becoming Yu Xiaogang's disciple and accompanying Great Master Yu Xiaogang to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a soul ring.

Tang Hao would surely be worried and follow them.

Ye Yu would seize the opportunity to find the cave where Tang Hao had hidden the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone and Blue Silver Emperor A Yin's sapling.

He would fuse with the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone.

And let the Blue Silver Grass martial soul complete its first evolution!

He had succeeded!

The Blue Silver Grass martial soul had completed its first evolution and evolved into the Blue Silver Vine!

Then, after arriving at Heaven Dou Imperial City,

Ye Yu's second-stage goal had been to win over Dugu Yan and obtain the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, improving his physical constitution and cultivation.

Starting from his first soul ring, he would absorb Thousand Year Soul Rings.

He would complete the ultimate leap!

This time, Ye Yu had once again achieved complete success!

With the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot, he had made the Blue Silver Vine martial soul undergo its second evolution, turning it into the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine.

He had obtained the Blue Silver Domain.

Afterward, he had consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to undergo Ice Fire Body Tempering.

His physical constitution had undergone a qualitative leap.

It had also given the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul immunity to ice and fire energy below the ultimate level.

Then, by successfully winning over Dugu Yan, he had turned Poison Douluo Dugu Bo into his grandfather.

With Dugu Bo's help,

and the constitution gained from fusing with the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone and undergoing Ice Fire Body Tempering,

he had begun absorbing Thousand Year Soul Rings from his very first soul ring.

His third and fourth soul rings had even reached the ten-thousand-year level.

They had all come from Plant Spirit Beasts with extraordinarily powerful Life Attributes!

His strength had once again undergone a qualitative leap!

He had finally transformed from a measly Level 10 Soul Warrior into a Level 47 top genius capable of crushing Yu Tianheng!

He had proven with facts that attaching soul rings from Plant Spirit Beasts with Life Attributes to the Blue Silver Grass martial soul

was the most correct choice!

But after that,

aside from Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, who still needed to be nurtured,

Ye Yu discovered that there were no further opportunities capable of evolving the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul and allowing his strength to leap forward.

The Blue Silver King?

Ye Yu had absolutely no idea where it was, and the original work had never specified its location.

Even Blue Silver Emperor A Yin back then

would have been difficult for Ye Yu to sense if Tang Hao had not passed near Nuoding City carrying A Yin's seed.

A Yin was already like that.

There was even less need to mention the Blue Silver King!

As for the City of Slaughter,

Ye Yu had no intention of going there for now.

He was not Tang San or Hu Liena, with two Slaughter Gods protecting him from behind.

Therefore, Ye Yu's goal for the next stage

was no longer to seek out some lucky opportunity, but to improve himself!

As a transmigrator, Ye Yu knew

that in the later Douluo series, aside from Soul Tools,

the soul master system had another major advancement.

That was the soul core!

Ye Yu had asked Grandpa Dugu Bo, anyway.

At present, there was still no concept of soul cores on Douluo Continent.

Thus, his next goal was to prepare for condensing a soul core in the future!

And to condense a soul core,

the first thing he needed to do was compress the soul power in his body.

This would not only prepare him for Soul Core Condensation.

After compressing his soul power and improving its quality,

Ye Yu would also be able to use the same "amount" of soul power to summon even more Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines in battle.

His soul power would also last longer!

After all, when it came to using plants as a means of attack,

Ye Yu was quite envious of that Pillar from the Senju clan.

As for Compressed Soul Power, Ye Yu felt that it should not be too difficult.

His physical constitution was already exceptionally powerful.

And because he cultivated the Inner Elixir Method,

his Spiritual Power was also very strong, and his control over soul power was extremely refined.

Back when he had only been a Level 10 Soul Warrior,

Ye Yu had already been able to use soul power to retrieve objects.

That was proof enough.

In the future, Ye Yu also planned to study the Thunderclap Body Tempering Technique and create his own Thunderclap Tempering Technique.

He would continue tempering his body and improving his physical constitution.

That way, he could continuously compress his soul power in the future!

And lay a solid foundation for condensing a soul core!

Ye Yu remembered that the peak geniuses in Douluo 3 seemed to have condensed soul cores while still at the peak of the Soul King realm.

As a transmigrator, Ye Yu's next small goal

was to condense his first soul core in the Soul King realm as well!

Therefore, the cultivation tasks of the next stage could be summed up in two words: compress soul power and temper the body!

Sitting cross-legged beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Ye Yu emptied his mind and began cultivating the Inner Elixir Method.

With the help of the Inner Elixir Method,

Ye Yu's spirit seemed to merge with the surrounding environment, producing a certain resonance as he entered a pseudo-state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

His spirit was continuously honed and refined through its resonance with the surrounding heaven and earth.

In this state,

Ye Yu could not only sense the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, but his mind also became exceedingly calm.

His control over the soul power within his body became even greater as well.

Thus, Ye Yu began attempting to compress the soul power inside his body.

It was like kneading cotton.

First, he forced all the soul power in his meridians into his dantian.

Then, his Spiritual Power seemed to transform into an invisible giant hand, grabbing the soul power in his dantian.

He clenched it tightly, continuously compressing the soul power.

Of course, that was merely an abstract metaphor.

In reality, Spiritual Power could not directly compress soul power.

During the process of compressing his soul power,

Ye Yu could clearly feel the intense rebound of the compressed soul power, which placed considerable pressure on both his body and spirit.

But Ye Yu could still endure it.

Compress!

Compress!

Keep compressing!

Ye Yu sat cross-legged with his eyes shut. As he continuously compressed his soul power with all his strength, his face had begun to flush, and he gritted his teeth.

Beside him, Dugu Bo watched Ye Yu with some nervousness and unease.

As for this future grandson-in-law, Dugu Bo now felt that everything about him was good.

There was just one problem.

He had too many ideas!

Look at this! Ye Yu actually said he wanted to compress the soul power in his body?

Dugu Bo found it utterly incomprehensible.

After all, once soul masters reached the realms of Soul Sage and Soul Douluo,

the quality of their soul power would naturally undergo a major improvement.

Everyone else was busy increasing their cultivation, afraid that their cultivation level would rise too slowly.

Yet this kid wanted to compress his soul power now?!

Wouldn't that delay his cultivation speed?!

But helplessly, his granddaughter Dugu Yan strongly supported him.

In the end, Dugu Bo did not object.

After all, when it came to Ye Yu,

following his success in absorbing an Undying Grass soul ring of over five thousand years as his first soul ring,

Dugu Bo felt that Ye Yu's ideas were fairly dependable.

What if he created another miracle like the five-thousand-year first soul ring?

Actually, Dugu Bo was quite curious as well.

What would it be like

if a soul master possessed Soul Sage-level soul power quality while still in the Soul Ancestor or Soul King realm?

When they left Dugu Manor, it had been afternoon.

By the time they reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, it was nearly evening.

Ye Yu sat cross-legged beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with his eyes closed, cultivating the Inner Elixir Method and compressing his soul power.

In the blink of an eye, an entire night had passed!

The protagonist's compression of soul power would not delay his cultivation.

Because cultivating after compressing his soul power would allow him to quickly exhaust the medicinal power accumulated from consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

After that, the protagonist could continue by consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone.
