Mu Yuan's Ambition: Claiming Four Great Immortal Herbs Alone!

Mu Yuan had long since given thought to his choice of Immortal Herbs.

Since he did not know exactly which Immortal Herbs existed in this era, he could only choose from those that had appeared in the original Dou Er story.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew enhanced Mental Power, while Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could be used for Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining.

The first half of his original plan was basically the same as what Du Busi had said.

Mu Yuan was not surprised that Du Busi had made such arrangements. He knew that Tang San had left behind the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record Poison Chapter at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"I definitely need these three Immortal Herbs. I just wonder whether I can add one more on top of them."

Mu Yuan looked at Du Busi.

Du Busi had not expected Mu Yuan to be so ambitious.

"These three Immortal Herbs may not seem to boost your Soul Power much, but they will make your foundation incomparably solid. Their power will also remain within your body and grow alongside you. Continuing to absorb other Immortal Herbs may not necessarily be better for you," Du Busi said.

It was not that he did not want to give Mu Yuan a fourth Immortal Herb; he was thinking of Mu Yuan's well-being.

Mu Yuan smiled. "That would be true under normal circumstances, but Sect Master, don't forget that those Immortal Herbs are still Soul Beasts."

Soul Beasts?

Du Busi froze for a moment. Then his pupils contracted, and realization flashed through his eyes.

"So that's it."

"Brilliant!"

Du Busi praised him repeatedly.

He did not feel any heartache over Mu Yuan taking another Immortal Herb. On the contrary, he was delighted for Mu Yuan.

The more Immortal Herbs Mu Yuan absorbed, the brighter his future would be.

As for Mu Yuan's martial soul being merely arms, Du Busi had stopped caring about that long ago.

Once the path of the Eight-Armed Demonic God had begun to take shape, Mu Yuan had already stepped half a foot beyond the standard that judged a Body Martial Soul's potential by the body part it manifested from.

That standard could no longer restrain Mu Yuan.

If Mu Yuan could use the Immortal Herbs' power to further strengthen the foundation of his martial soul during this absorption, Du Busi would only be pleased.

"Right now, what I'm hesitating over is which Immortal Herb to use as a Soul Ring. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum hasn't developed intelligence yet, so it doesn't count as a Soul Beast."

Naturally, the Immortal Herb Mu Yuan valued most was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Unfortunately, this Immortal Herb had not yet developed intelligence, so it could not sacrifice itself.

That was right. Mu Yuan's plan was not merely to obtain a Hundred-thousand Year Immortal Herb's Soul Ring and Soul Bone; he also wanted it to sacrifice itself to him.

Only then would his absorption proceed more smoothly, indirectly lowering the demands on his physical constitution.

Ten thousand years ago, Tang San absolutely could not have endured a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring as his sixth Soul Ring. Yet because Xiao Wu had sacrificed herself, he had forcibly endured that Soul Ring.

Now, Mu Yuan naturally wanted to take advantage of that as well and absorb his first Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring sooner.

Still, he could not reveal any of that.

If he wanted the other party to sacrifice itself, he would need to create a method for Soul Spirits.

So this required long-term planning. He certainly could not bring up Soul Spirits directly yet.

Not only would the matter of sacrifice have to be postponed, but the Immortal Herbs could not be absorbed right now either.

Mu Yuan looked at the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass that Du Busi had placed on the table.

"Is there anything particular about Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining?" he asked, pretending not to know.

Du Busi said, "That place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Tang San left behind a poison-related section of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record there, which records the effects and uses of many Immortal Herbs. As for Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining..."

"So without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I can't undergo Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining anytime soon," Mu Yuan said.

"That's right. I've recently felt the signs of a breakthrough. Once I break through, I can try visiting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again. If I can seize it, you can attempt Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining in that valley. If I can't seize it..."

At that point, Du Busi paused, his expression turning grave.

"If I can't seize it, then you can only wait until your cultivation reaches at least the Soul Saint level, when you can withstand the impact of the two completely opposing medicinal powers with your own body, before attempting Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining."

Mu Yuan fell silent upon hearing that.

"Soul Saint? Why does it have to be Soul Saint? Is there some standard?"

"Being able to withstand a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring," Du Busi said.

Mu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

That gave him a direction for improvement. He might not necessarily have to wait until he became a Soul Saint.

But soon, he frowned again.

Without Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining, it would be extremely difficult for him to reach the point where his physical body could withstand a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring.

Thus, Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining would allow him to strengthen his body faster until it could bear a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring.

Once his body could withstand a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring early on, he could begin Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining.

It formed a complete loop.

Could he only endure and wait?

Mu Yuan sighed.

As he sighed, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait!"

"Sect Master, you said you're about to break through?"

Seeing that Mu Yuan had only just noticed what he had said about a breakthrough, Du Busi revealed a speechless expression.

"I'll keep those that have developed intelligence for you first. Think it over some more and decide which Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring you want in the end."

As he spoke, Du Busi put away several intelligent Immortal Herbs, including the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

During the process, those Immortal Herbs resisted fiercely. However, before Du Busi, they had no power to resist at all.

"Take the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew first. Just drink the dew from its leaves."

Du Busi then looked at Long Aotian.

"This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum suits you quite well. As for the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, I think it can be used to treat Yu Gu's injuries."

Du Busi also began distributing the other Immortal Herbs that were outside Mu Yuan's considerations.

His principle for distribution was simple: whoever suited one would take it.

Whoever could contribute more to the sect after absorbing it would be the one to absorb it.

This principle of distribution had always been the rule of the Body Sect.

Of course, Mu Yuan was different. He had suggested that Du Busi brave the Poisonous Miasma and had predicted Tang San's backup plan as well as the method to deal with it. Therefore, he was placed ahead of everyone else. Only after he made his choices could the remaining herbs be allocated further according to maximum benefit.

Treat Elder Yugu's injuries?

Mu Yuan looked at Yu Gu beside them, whose aura was weak, and could not help nodding.

Elder Yugu had been seriously injured this time. The Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone was already the best match for him, and it could also be used to heal his injuries.

Mu Yuan even felt that after absorbing the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Elder Yugu might have a chance to awaken a Gold-level Second Awakening.

To put it plainly, the opportunity at the Title Douluo stage came from condensing a Soul Core and undergoing a qualitative transformation.

For Elder Yugu, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone was also a stroke of fortune.

The stimulation of such an opportunity might well grant him another chance to advance to Gold Grade a second time.

If Yu Gu could master a Gold-level Second Awakening and then break through to Super Douluo, the Body Sect's overall strength would surely rise rapidly, allowing it to better handle the changing situation during the coming period of turmoil.

In Mu Yuan's understanding, after this Soul Master Tournament in Star Luo City, the entire continent would enter a period of turmoil.

That turmoil was still hidden beneath the surface, with undercurrents surging.

It would reach its peak and truly erupt at the next Soul Master Tournament in Ming City.
