"Come in with me!"
Granny Golden Snake waved her hand, signaling the Snake People guards watching over the palace to step aside, then led Dugu Yan into the palace.
Before entering the palace, Dugu Yan had been filled with anticipation, thinking it would be a palace stocked with all kinds of miraculous pills and precious medicines.
But once she entered, Dugu Yan was dumbfounded.
The dimly lit palace was filled with all sorts of clutter, making it look more like a storage room. There were some shelves inside as well, but they only held dusty boxes.
"Do you know how to cultivate Dou Qi?"
"If not, shall this old woman teach you first?"
After bringing Dugu Yan into the palace, Granny Golden Snake turned around and asked.
"Um... Granny, I don't know how to cultivate Dou Qi."
"Could Granny teach me?"
Dugu Yan asked somewhat sheepishly and uneasily.
"Alright, then this old woman will teach you. Come here."
Granny Golden Snake was not surprised by Dugu Yan's answer and beckoned her over.
After Dugu Yan approached, Granny Golden Snake immediately placed a hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder and instructed her.
"Remember the circulation route of this old woman's Dou Qi inside your body."
"Later, after taking the medicinal herbs, circulate the medicinal power along this route and draw in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Then you'll be able to cultivate it into Dou Qi!"
However, after Granny Golden Snake injected Dou Qi into Dugu Yan's body, she immediately frowned.
"What's going on? What is this energy inside your body?"
"This..."
Racking her brains, Dugu Yan put on a sorrowful and dejected expression as she said, "The nobleman who bought me taught me to cultivate it."
"I don't know what's going on either."
Hearing this, Granny Golden Snake snorted coldly.
"Humans truly are sinister and cunning!"
"He must have deliberately used some trash cultivation method developed by who knows whom to make you convert the pure Dou Qi naturally nurtured within your body into this trash energy, all to prevent you from becoming a threat to him."
"But this kind of trash energy, even if it were strengthened tenfold, would still not be as powerful as the Dou Qi inside a practitioner at the Dou Qi stage."
"The difference between them is like bean dregs and stone—no! Like air and stone!"
"What use is such trash energy!"
"This old woman will cripple it for you right now!"
Hearing Granny Golden Snake's contemptuous remarks about Soul Power during the livestream, the entire Douluo Continent instantly erupted.
Countless Soul Masters were furious and indignant.
Among them, Yu Yuanzhen's expression was particularly gloomy.
"That old hag is truly looking down on others!"
"She actually dares to belittle the Soul Power of us Soul Masters. At roughly the same level, our Soul Power may indeed be slightly inferior to Dou Qi."
"But we have Martial Souls and Soul Rings."
"When the three are combined, they possess many wondrous uses that the Dou Qi of their Doupo World simply does not have!"
"Hmph! What a frog in a well—arrogant and conceited!"
As a Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen had built his current reputation upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and his immense Soul Power.
He admitted that Soul Power might be inferior to Dou Qi.
But Granny Golden Snake's claim that Soul Power was nothing but trash
was something he simply could not accept!
If Soul Power was trash, then what did that make them Soul Masters?
Were they all trash?!
God Realm.
"These people from another world are truly arrogant!"
Seeing Granny Golden Snake utterly disparage Soul Power as trash, Asura God's expression darkened. He could not help clenching his fists as he said coldly.
Although after becoming a god, compared to divine power, he too felt that Soul Power was trash.
But Soul Power was the foundation for becoming a god.
No matter how useless Soul Power was, it could not be said to be completely without value.
In any case, he did not agree with Granny Golden Snake's view that Soul Power was trash.
If that were the case, then what were gods like them, who had become gods from Soul Masters?
High-quality trash that had risen above the rest from a pile of garbage?
"Exactly!!"
Because of the Heavenly Screen's appearance, the Five God Kings had once again gathered in the God Realm Committee.
Hearing the Asura God's words, the God of Destruction's face was also filled with displeasure. He snorted coldly and said, "I admit that the strong experts of the Doupo World may indeed be very powerful."
"But those weaklings are only so-so!"
"What kind of skill is it to bully these weak Soul Masters?"
"We gods can also control space and travel between worlds. Our strength should at least be equivalent to the Dou Venerates of the Doupo World!"
"And we God Kings should be comparable to Dou Saints as well. There shouldn't be any problem with that."
"If this Heavenly Screen chooses us, then when we gods descend upon the Doupo World, we must let the people of this world know the power of Deities!"
At this moment, in the Doupo World, within a mountain range.
After being brutally tormented and violated by the Composite Ape pack.
Perhaps because Yu Xiaogang was exceptionally gifted, the Composite Ape pack did not abandon him. Instead, they brought him back to their nest, intending to continue brutally tormenting and violating him.
Broadcast live before countless people of Douluo Continent—including his father, elder brother, nephew, as well as Flender, Liu Erlong, and Bibi Dong—Yu Xiaogang suffered the Composite Ape pack's ultimate humiliation.
At first, Yu Xiaogang was so devastated that he practically wanted to take his own life.
But in the end, Yu Xiaogang still could not bring himself to do it, and gradually became numb.
Thrown into a corner of the cave that served as the nest.
Enduring the pain and discomfort throughout his body, as well as the stench around him, Yu Xiaogang watched the live broadcast on the Heavenly Screen before him and saw that Dugu Yan had actually been rescued by the Snake People Clan and had even gained the opportunity to convert to Dou Qi cultivation.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Panting like a bull, he was driven nearly mad with jealousy as resentment and hatred roared through his heart.
Why!
Why was I, Yu Xiaogang, so unlucky!
Whether it was Ning Rongrong or Dugu Yan, both of them were luckier than I, Yu Xiaogang.
This is unfair!!
At this moment, in Dugu Yan's live broadcast.
With Granny Golden Snake's help.
As the Soul Power within her body was abolished, Dugu Yan immediately let out a muffled groan, pain appearing on her face.
Soul Power was the foundation within one's body.
Now that her Soul Power had been abolished, the pain it caused was naturally immense.
But at that moment, Granny Golden Snake beckoned with her hand and retrieved a dull wooden box from a nearby shelf. After opening it.
Inside lay a fruit that was fiery red all over, covered in golden patterns that vaguely formed half the shape of a dragon.
The reason it was only half dragon-shaped.
Was because only half of the fruit remained.
The other half looked as though it had been bitten away by something.
"Little girl, you've got lucky!"
"This is the precious medicinal ingredient used to refine a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill—the Dragon Saliva Fruit!"
"Though only half remains, it is more than enough to restore your foundation and help you cultivate Dou Qi!"
Granny Golden Snake took out the half Dragon Saliva Fruit from the wooden box, muttering to herself as she prepared to place it into Dugu Yan's mouth.
At this moment, on Douluo Continent.
"This is!!"
When Yu Yuanzhen saw the half Dragon Saliva Fruit in Granny Golden Snake's hand and sensed the intense dragon aura it gave off.
He felt a powerful stirring from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul within him. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, bloodshot as he clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice, "What kind of fruit is this? Even though only half remains, I feel that if I consumed it, it might allow my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon of our sect's legends!"
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Upon sensing the aura of the Dragon Saliva Fruit, Bone Douluo's eyes turned crimson as he roared in excitement.
"What kind of precious Spiritual Medicine is this? I can actually feel my Bone Dragon Martial Soul trembling!"
"If I can obtain and consume this spirit fruit, my Bone Dragon Martial Soul may evolve!"
In the boundless sea.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's enormous body floated on the surface. Upon seeing the Dragon Saliva Fruit in Granny Golden Snake's hand, its one remaining massive crimson eye was also filled with excitement.
What kind of treasure was this?!
It felt that if it could obtain and consume this half of the spirit fruit, it would not need to cultivate for a million years before evolving directly into a Sea God Dragon!
