Recovery and Adjustment, Martial Soul Evolution Begins
Seeing that the two had made a decision in a short time, Dugu Yan had only learned a little about the situation, couldn't help but ask more questions.
"Alright, let's talk about this when we eat. We need to build a small cabin first, otherwise you'll probably have to rest in the open tonight."
Han Li pointed to the increasingly dark sky and reminded him.
"Ah, okay."
Dugu Yan then remembered her important matter; she didn't want to sleep outdoors.
Broad Hill landed on the platform at the sound. All four of them were Soul Master, and there was no shortage of materials around. In just half an hour, a small wooden house was completed. Han Li even took out a few flat stones from his Storage Wristband to serve as a bed and furniture.
After everything was finished, Broad Hill took out the food she had prepared, and the four of them ate dinner while chatting and laughing.
With Dugu Yan's addition, the three of them had to go through a lot more trouble to explain things in detail again, which made her exclaim in amazement from time to time, and her eyes shone with admiration.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six days have passed.
During this period, Dugu Bo's body, which had been riddled with holes, finally recovered some of its vitality after a major overhaul, and it was time for him to undergo Martial Soul Evolution.
A deep voice came from Dugu Bo's mouth.
Seeing that she had calmed down a bit, the three of them descended directly downwards.
Nearly an hour passed in this way. During this time, Dugu Bo's brows furrowed from time to time, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Fortunately, his breathing and physical signs seemed to be very stable.
If it still causes problems later, he plans to abandon it altogether, even if it reduces his strength. He is terrified of the poison, and another reason is that Dugu Yan will also be undergoing Martial Soul Evolution, and he wants to ensure a safe enough path for his granddaughter, even if it's not as powerful.
"Of course, if necessary, if it cannot be suppressed, it can be temporarily abandoned. Master will take care of the follow-up issues, with saving lives as the priority," Han Li solemnly instructed.
Then there's Dugu Yan. Over the past few days, she's become somewhat familiar with Han Li and his apprentice Broad Hill.
Although the two of them spent most of their time cultivating, they would still rest during mealtimes and when checking on Dugu Bo's physical condition. At these times, she would approach him and initiate conversation.
"Alright, let's begin."
Of course, Dugu Yan was not opposed to this. She was quite interested in Han Li, and after a few days of getting to know him, she had vaguely grasped the little tricks of getting along with Han Li.
Otherwise, if he missed this crucial point, Han Li was genuinely worried that his body wouldn't be able to handle it and that something else might happen. He relied entirely on precious medicinal herbs for his medical knowledge, and he couldn't afford to delay.
Having rehearsed this many times in his mind, Dugu Bo did not hesitate. He nodded to the master and disciple, took out the Nine Rank Dragon Ganoderma (water) that had been stripped of its leaves, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it quickly a few times, and swallowed it.
"Young lady of the DuGu Family, take some time to prepare and plate the food inside. We're waiting for lunch." Broad Hill casually tossed over a small ring containing some food.
After Han Li inquired about and checked Dugu Bo's physical condition again, he released his hand.
He glanced at Dugu Yan, who seemed even more nervous than Dugu Bo himself, and said, "Sister Yan, you stay on the platform for now. My master and I will accompany the senior down. Don't worry, the senior will be fine."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here. Good luck, Grandfather."
Moreover, he actually has a strong desire to share and enjoys being praised. Although he always pretends to be very calm, the smile in his eyes and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth undoubtedly reveal his preferences.
"How is it?" Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan looked at him nervously.
In Han Li's eyes, Dugu Bo was a very peculiar existence, a truly unique player in the entire Douluo I.
After a quick breakfast, the four of them gathered together on the platform.
When Han Li speaks, he always likes to pique people's interest first, and then speaks after stirring up their emotions, as if he enjoys this feeling.
Fortunately, this action saved him. The essence of the deadly poison was locked inside, preventing it from spreading throughout his body. Otherwise, given his weak resistance to poison, he might have already died.
The instant their auras clashed, a phantom dragon roar resounded simultaneously from within the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow and Dugu Bo's body. The giant green serpent behind Dugu Bo also seemed to be aroused, opening its maw and unleashing an invisible hiss towards the two below. Then, he closed his eyes and rapidly began refining the medicinal power.
Dugu Yan glanced at the two of them, her tense expression relaxing considerably, and answered softly.
"Now, melt it for me."
The outer edge of Dan Zhu was still Entanglement with some dark green liquid, clearly indicating that the stubborn poison he had forced out had not completely integrated into it.
The Dan Zhu could be used as a one-time large-scale destructive force, a consensus reached between him and Dugu Bo.
On one hand, she was genuinely worried about her Grandfather's condition. On the other hand, this was also a veiled hint from Dugu Bo, since the grandfather and grandson were essentially bound to Han Li, and it would definitely be a good thing to have more contact and build a good relationship.
Moreover, taking advantage of this Martial Soul Evolution, Dugu Bo also wanted to try adjusting the Martial Soul's structure.
Dugu Bo pounded his chest, looking very confident.
The Dan Zhu he condensed within his body was very similar to the Soul Core of ten thousand years later, except perhaps because it was an unconscious act, and because he mainly wanted to avoid poison.
"Martial Soul Possession".
"Okay, no problem." Dugu Bo nodded without hesitation.
The three of them comforted her in different ways, which eased Dugu Yan's tension considerably.
Therefore, although the Dan Zhu has established a certain connection with itself, it cannot be used to assist in cultivation and has instead become a useless thing.
Dugu Bo muttered something under his breath, his eyes narrowed, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. A phantom projection of Jade Phosphorous Serpent rose behind him, hissing and flicking its tongue.
Han Li and Broad Hill watched quietly from the side without making a sound to disturb them. This was just the beginning, and they hoped it would go smoothly from here on out.
This is the plan they've come up with over the past few days, only Han Li has emphasized it again.
Suddenly, Dugu Bo opened his eyes, and at the same time, his mouth opened slightly, and a bright green Dan Zhu flew out of his mouth.
Upon hearing his voice, Broad Hill and Han Li, who were standing nearby, immediately stopped watching the show and summoned their Martial Soul. One of them threw a ball of ice light at the Dan Zhu in front of Dugu Bo, while the other mobilized his Martial Soul aura to press down hard on Dugu Bo himself.
Seeing that Dugu Bo was ready, Han Li said no more.
"Roar"
Han Li had no intention of persuading him. First, the Martial Soul Evolution he proposed was essentially an alternative way to change Dugu Bo's development model. Second, he didn't know how the Soul Core was condensed. He didn't like such a time bomb-like thing. He preferred controllable power, even if it was temporarily weaker.
"Don't worry, Yan Yan, Grandfather will definitely succeed."
"The situation is good, and the poison has been suppressed and is currently stable, so it won't affect what's to come. When the time comes, you just need to seize the opportunity to fuse these poisons with your Dan Zhu."
