That was an ultimate divine treasure capable of changing a Soul Master's talent and causing a qualitative transformation in their Martial Soul.
She had originally thought that only she, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and a handful of others in this world knew about Immortal Herbs and how to identify them.
But now, the little thing in Li Yifei's hand seemed to do it even more thoroughly.
And more scientifically.
"What kind of world did he come from...?"
Bibi Dong's fingers trembled slightly around her scepter from gripping it too tightly.
Outside the secret chamber.
Li Yifei wandered through the Herb Garden, stopping now and then.
Dugu Bo followed behind him with a bent back like an old servant, barely daring to breathe.
Watching Li Yifei point at the poisonous plants, he felt both nervous and confused.
"Found them."
Li Yifei stopped before two utterly ordinary-looking plants.
One was a long vine, jade-green all over, its leaves streaked with golden threads.
The other was a low shrub bearing three green fruits, their surfaces covered in snake-scale patterns.
Dugu Bo gave them a glance and felt somewhat disappointed.
He recognized both of them.
The vine was called Jadeite Vine, while the fruits were called Green Snake Fruit.
Though they were valuable, they were nowhere near some miraculous antidote.
"My lord, these two are cold in nature. They can suppress the poison, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
Dugu Bo offered the reminder cautiously.
Li Yifei glanced at him, a teasing curve appearing on his lips.
"Medicinal properties?"
"That is merely the most superficial understanding you people possess."
He raised his hand and lightly tapped his Wristwatch with a fingertip.
[Activating Energy Ratio Analysis.] [Target: Jadeite Dragon Blood Vine. Contained energy: faint dragon blood activity, 4.2% life essence.] [Target: Emerald God Serpent Marrow Fruit. Contained energy: serpent gene catalyst, 8.7% soul purification factor.] [Recommended method: fuse at a 3:1 ratio, supplemented by Soul Power guidance, to trigger Martial Soul genetic restructuring.]
Li Yifei looked at Dugu Bo, his tone as calm as if he were reading an instruction manual.
"You think they are useless because you do not know how to use them."
"These are called Jadeite Dragon Blood Vine and Emerald God Serpent Marrow Fruit."
"They are not for detoxification."
"They are for... evolving your Martial Soul."
The entire Herb Garden fell deathly silent.
Dugu Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"E-Evolve?!"
He had lived for more than seventy years, yet he had never heard of someone eating two plants and evolving their Martial Soul!
Martial Souls were innate, carved into one's bloodline. How could they possibly evolve?
Unless they were legendary top-grade Immortal Herbs...
But no matter how he looked at them, these two did not resemble Immortal Herbs!
[World's Number One Princess: Holy shit! Evolve?! Brother Yifei, are you serious?!] [Is Jade Not Jade: If this is real, the entire theoretical world of Douluo Continent will be hit by an earthquake!] [Bunny Is So Cute: If Brother Yifei says it can be done, then it definitely can!] [Little Fox Demon: Martial Soul Evolution... does something like that really exist?]
Inside the Pope's Palace, Hu Liena secretly glanced at her teacher, Bibi Dong.
She discovered that Bibi Dong's face had already turned frighteningly pale.
"Jadeite Dragon Blood Vine... Emerald God Serpent Marrow Fruit..."
Bibi Dong frantically searched through every ancient text in her mind, yet could not find a single record of those two names.
"Could they be higher-grade Immortal Herbs?"
"Or perhaps he used that miraculous method to discover medicinal effects even Spirit Hall knew nothing about?"
Bibi Dong's heartbeat began to accelerate.
She felt that the door to a new world was slowly opening in Li Yifei's hands.
In the Herb Garden.
Li Yifei did not waste any words. He directly reached out and plucked the two herbs.
A stream of pure energy surged from his palm.
It was Gene Primal Energy from the world of Swallowed Star. There was not much of it, but its quality was extremely high.
Buzz!
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the jade-green vine slowly began to melt, turning into a mass of liquid swirled with gold and green.
The three Snake Scale Fruits were also crushed by that force and blended into the liquid.
The medicinal properties that had originally been incompatible were perfectly combined under Li Yifei's precise energy control.
A fist-sized green orb of light, radiating a rich aura of life, floated quietly above Li Yifei's palm.
Within the orb, faint dragon roars and serpent hisses could be heard.
Dugu Bo swallowed hard.
He could feel that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul within him had released an overwhelming longing the instant it saw the orb!
It was a tremor originating from the deepest parts of his bloodline!
Like land that had suffered drought for ten thousand years finally seeing sweet rain!
"Old man, open your mouth."
Li Yifei casually ordered.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Bo threw open his mouth like an obedient student.
Li Yifei flicked a finger.
The green orb turned into a streak of light and shot straight down Dugu Bo's throat.
"Urgh!"
Dugu Bo let out a muffled grunt, his entire body instantly freezing.
The next moment.
Boom!
An incomparably terrifying wave of jade-green energy erupted wildly from Dugu Bo's body!
The surrounding poisonous plants were instantly reduced to dust by the impact of that aura!
Dugu Bo released a long howl that was both agonized and exhilarated.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul behind him emerged on its own.
Its originally jade-green serpent body began to tremble violently.
Scale after scale fell away, replaced by jadeite-colored dragon scales that were harder and gleamed with a metallic luster!
Two small protrusions slowly emerged from the top of its head. They were... dragon horns!
"Th-This is..."
Dugu Yan was dumbfounded, and the women in the Livestream Room were equally stunned.
They had witnessed the birth of a miracle with their own eyes.
A serpent was transforming into a dragon!
[World's Number One Princess: It really evolved! It really evolved!] [Is Jade Not Jade: Oh my god! The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor... mutated into the Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor?!] [A Little Goose: No, it is not a mutation. That is Martial Soul Evolution at a higher level.]
Dugu Yan's voice was trembling.
She could feel her grandfather Dugu Bo's aura rising at a terrifying speed!
He had originally been merely an ordinary level ninety-two Titled Douluo.
Level ninety-three...
Level ninety-four...
Level ninety-five!
In just a few breaths, Dugu Bo had directly crossed that natural chasm and entered the ranks of Super Douluo!
Moreover, the poison that had plagued him his entire life was being frantically devoured by his evolved Martial Soul and transformed into the purest Soul Power!
"Hahaha!"
Dugu Bo threw back his head and laughed, his voice filled with the wild joy of being reborn.
He could feel that his once-withering life force was now surging endlessly like great rivers.
He could live for at least another two hundred years!
"Thank you, my lord, for the grace of remaking me!"
Dugu Bo abruptly dropped to his knees and kowtowed three times solidly before Li Yifei.
This time, he was utterly convinced.
This time, he regarded Li Yifei as a god.
Li Yifei merely dusted off his hands, looking thoroughly bored.
"All right, stop kowtowing. It is not over yet."
He turned toward the dazed Dugu Yan beside him.
"Your turn."
