Immortal Herbs Temper the Body, Supreme Bone Stirs

After dinner, Yang Yuan and Dugu Yan came to the Herb Garden.

The latter eagerly introduced the spirit herbs in the garden to Yang Yuan.

She did not know every spirit herb in the Herb Garden, but she recognized at least half of them.

Most of the spirit herbs she knew were foreign species Dugu Bo had transplanted into the Herb Garden from elsewhere.

As for the Immortal Herbs that had originally grown around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, not even Dugu Bo could identify them all, let alone Dugu Yan.

From what Dugu Bo had said, Yang Yuan recognized only one of those spirit herbs: the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The main reason he recognized the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was because Chrysanthemum Douluo, his sworn rival, possessed it as his Martial Soul.

However, Dugu Bo merely recognized it and did not know the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's effects.

After making a circuit of the garden,

Yang Yuan, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan stood before a golden, melon-like object the size of two fists.

Dugu Bo asked in astonishment, "Xiao Yuan, can you really discern the medicinal properties of these Immortal Herbs?"

Yang Yuan smiled calmly. "My Martial Soul can see through the essence of things. Naturally, seeing through the medicinal properties of spirit herbs is no challenge."

Dugu Bo could not help but sigh.

"What a miraculous Martial Soul!"

"Before your Martial Soul, even Spirit Hall's Angel Martial Soul probably pales in comparison."

Dugu Yan pointed curiously at the golden sweet potato before them, which was the size of two fists, and asked, "So, Xiao Yuan, is there something special about this golden sweet potato?"

Dugu Bo also looked on curiously.

Since Yang Yuan could see the medicinal properties of spirit herbs and had brought them here before this golden sweet potato, there had to be another reason.

Yang Yuan nodded and explained, "This golden sweet potato is an extremely rare Spirit Medicine. I can see that it contains extraordinarily dense energy."

That was all?

Dugu Bo had instinctively felt that this golden sweet potato was no ordinary thing.

But if it merely contained dense energy, it did not seem particularly special.

His Herb Garden contained many Spirit Medicines, including quite a few that held abundant energy.

Still, he did not recognize this golden sweet potato.

He had originally thought it was just an ordinary Spirit Medicine.

Yang Yuan noticed the doubt on Dugu Bo's face. He immediately crouched down and reached out to move the golden sweet potato before him.

"This is no ordinary sweet potato. The energy it contains ranks among the top ten in the entire Herb Garden, and it also contains a trace of exceptionally pure true dragon power."

"I can only say that this sweet potato will bring tremendous benefits to both Sister Dugu and Grandpa Dugu."

"Those benefits will not merely raise your Soul Power Levels. They will also improve your Martial Souls."

At those words, Dugu Yan did not react much, but a sharp gleam burst from Dugu Bo's eyes.

An improvement at the Martial Soul level—did that not mean this golden sweet potato might help his and his granddaughter's Martial Souls evolve?

If that was true, then this golden sweet potato's value was immense!

Dugu Bo immediately said in a grave voice, "This old man is already well along in years. I have no need for this."

Dugu Yan hurriedly shook her head.

"Grandpa, you should eat it. My talent is limited. It would be a waste for me to consume such a treasure."

Seeing this, Yang Yuan smiled. "All right, stop passing it back and forth. Grandpa Dugu's Herb Garden has more than just this one good thing."

Dugu Bo was startled.

What other treasure in this Herb Garden could compare to that golden sweet potato?

Yang Yuan brought the two of them before a snow-white, crystalline orchid.

He recognized this flower. It was the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Oscar had consumed in the first part of the original work.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid had gentle, rich medicinal properties. It could strengthen one's foundation, cleanse the meridians, purge impurities from the body, and increase a Soul Master's cultivation speed. Among the many Immortal Herbs, it was considered above average.

Though it was not as suited to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, it could still bring endless benefits.

After smilingly explaining the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid's effects, Yang Yuan said to the grandfather and granddaughter, "Grandpa Dugu can consume the golden sweet potato from before, while Sister Dugu can consume this orchid to make up for the deficiency of insufficient Innate Soul Power."

Dugu Yan spoke in a faintly resentful tone, "Who would have thought that I, with Innate Soul Power at rank seven, would one day be called innately deficient?"

Dugu Bo chuckled beside her.

"Yanyan, your grandfather's Innate Soul Power was rank nine. As for Xiao Yuan's Innate Soul Power, there is no need to mention it—it must be rank ten."

"Compared to us, isn't your Innate Soul Power a deficiency?"

Dugu Yan could not help stamping her foot in anger.

Why couldn't this damned Innate Soul Power have been just a little higher?

As the two spoke, Yang Yuan had already carefully plucked the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"Sister Dugu, consume it right here. There is no special method required. Just chew and swallow it, then circulate your Soul Power to refine it."

Dugu Yan was just about to take the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid when she suddenly thought of something. Her outstretched hand stopped in midair.

"Xiao Yuan, is this orchid useful to you?"

Yang Yuan instantly saw through Dugu Yan's thoughts and smiled. "Sister Dugu, go ahead and consume it without worry. There are other Spirit Medicines in the Herb Garden that suit me."

Only then did Dugu Yan accept the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid with ease. Then, under Dugu Bo and Yang Yuan's watchful eyes, she sat down cross-legged and began consuming and refining it.

A gleam flashed through Yang Yuan's Double Pupil, instantly allowing him to see the process of Dugu Yan refining the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

Consuming it directly would inevitably cause some of the Immortal Herb's medicinal potency to dissipate and go to waste.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan's left eye turned silver. A milky-white Vitality Force instantly shot out from it, enveloping Dugu Yan and precisely sealing off the medicinal potency that was leaking away.

After doing all this, Yang Yuan remained standing guard for a while longer.

Dugu Bo spoke from beside him. "Xiao Yuan, didn't you say there were other Spirit Medicines in the Herb Garden that suited you?"

"Go consume them. Grandpa will stand guard for you both."

"All right."

Yang Yuan did not stand on ceremony. His gaze swept over the garden before settling first on a large purple chrysanthemum not far away.

It was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple. The entire flower seemed perfectly whole, without the faintest fragrance escaping from it.

The stamen in its center rose half a foot above the petals, gleaming with a pale golden radiance.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a neutral Immortal Herb. After consumption, it could open the limbs and eight meridians, cultivating an indestructible diamond body.

The original work's description was naturally exaggerated, but it was not entirely without effect.

Stepping forward,

Yang Yuan directly coated his hand in a layer of Vitality Force, casually plucked the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, then sat down where he was and began consuming it.

After a while, Yang Yuan had swallowed the entire Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. A faint golden radiance also shrouded the surface of his body.

At the same time, inside his body,

a crystalline, jade-like Treasure Bone shone brilliantly, blooming with dazzling light.

The densely packed, profound runes upon it seemed to come alive, transforming into tiny black holes that frantically absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's energy.

Yang Yuan's consciousness trembled.

He could sense that a Nascent Divine Ability was condensing upon the Supreme Bone within his body.
