The things happening to Qian Renxue were familiar to the two of them. When Qian Xunji had received his God Trial, the mark on his forehead had looked exactly the same.
If they hadn't been in the wrong place, the two of them would already have asked her about it.
Qian Renxue withdrew her Martial Soul, her face full of smiles. She looked around, then confusion and puzzlement appeared in her eyes.
"Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, where's Xiao Tian?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo heard Qian Renxue's question and both looked toward the pool.
"After swallowing two Immortal Herbs, Qin Tian jumped into the pool. We don't know when he'll come out."
Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo's answer, Qian Renxue looked at the pool. She could feel the scorching heat and biting cold emanating from it, and a trace of worry rose in her heart.
"Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, why didn't you stop Xiao Tian? Can't you feel the power contained in that pool? It's so terrifying. Could Xiao Tian be in danger in there?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's complaints, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo exchanged a glance. They both understood what the other was thinking.
At that moment, they had only one thought: the little cabbage they'd raised all these years was going to... But the problem was, Qin Tian was only six years old.
"Xiao Xue, you're so worried that you can't think straight. Qin Tian knows what these Immortal Herbs do. He jumped into the pool on his own, so he must be confident he can handle it. Otherwise, would he have put himself in danger?"
After hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qian Renxue thought it over and said nothing more. She kept her eyes on the pool, though the worry in her gaze did not fade.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar rang through the valley. As it sounded, a terrifying draconic aura spread in every direction.
Qian Renxue, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Azure Luan Douluo all looked toward the Xuanhuang Light Orb.
The Xuanhuang Light Orb was now covered in countless cracks. The next moment, it scattered, revealing Dugu Yan.
Behind Dugu Yan, her Martial Soul appeared. It was no longer a Jade Phosphorous Serpent, but a green Sub-Dragon.
Her new Martial Soul had two horns on its head, two wings on its back, and four legs beneath its belly. Its entire body was covered in green dragon scales.
Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan's Martial Soul and felt his own Martial Soul stir. At that moment, his heart was full of joy.
Her Martial Soul had evolved. It really had evolved! His granddaughter's Martial Soul had successfully evolved.
He wanted nothing more than to throw his head back and roar. The problem that had plagued the Dugu Family for so many years had finally been resolved. From now on, they would no longer suffer from the poison.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent had been a high-tier Martial Soul. Now it had advanced another step, becoming a Sub-Dragon Martial Soul and entering the ranks of top-tier Martial Souls.
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with joy. She saw Dugu Bo nearby and immediately rushed over, throwing her arms around him.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I did it! My Martial Soul evolved!"
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter in his arms, his face filled with affection.
"Good, good, good."
"Yan Yan, your Martial Soul has evolved. You can cultivate with all your might from now on, without worrying about the poison anymore."
Watching the two of them, Qian Renxue smiled and offered her congratulations.
"Elder Dugu, congratulations on your granddaughter's successful Martial Soul Evolution. From now on, she won't have to suffer from the poison."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Dugu Bo's smile faded. He looked at her and spoke respectfully.
"Young Master, I, Dugu Bo, will remember this kindness forever. I swear I will never betray Spirit Hall in this life."
Qian Renxue heard Dugu Bo's words and nodded in satisfaction.
"Elder Dugu, your granddaughter's Martial Soul has evolved, but what abilities does her Martial Soul possess?"
Hearing Golden Crocodile's question, Dugu Bo immediately looked at Dugu Yan in his arms.
Before Dugu Bo could ask, Dugu Yan had already answered.
"After my Martial Soul evolved, not only did my poison become much stronger, but I also gained control over Earth Power. As long as I'm standing on the ground, I can continuously draw on Earth Power to replenish my Soul Power."
"Now I have terrifying poison, and my body is no weaker than that of someone with a Beast Martial Soul of the same rank."
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo heard Dugu Yan's words and nodded slightly.
The five of them continued talking. Naturally, most of their conversation focused on Dugu Yan. As for Qian Renxue, they wouldn't ask what improvements her Martial Soul had gained after evolving.
Time passed slowly. Before they knew it, three days had gone by.
During that time, Qian Renxue returned to Heaven Dou City during the day to play the part of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. At night, she came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to wait for Qin Tian.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stayed behind to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Azure Luan Douluo returned to the Worship Hall to tell Qian Daoliu what had happened and have him arrange for people to take over the guard duty.
As for Dugu Bo, he took Dugu Yan to the Star Dou Great Forest to look for a suitable Soul Ring.
"Xiao Tian, why haven't you come out yet?"
Hearing Qian Renxue murmur to herself, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help sighing. The little cabbage he'd raised was going to...
Just as Qian Renxue murmured those words, the pool began to change.
The change caught Qian Renxue's attention. She stared intently at the pool, her eyes full of anticipation.
After swallowing the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Qin Tian had done his utmost to refine them. But under the impact of their terrifying medicinal power, he eventually couldn't hold on and passed out.
When he woke up, he didn't hurry to surface. Instead, he swam deeper toward the bottom. He was searching for the remains of the Two Great Dragon Kings.
After completing his Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement, he had become immune to the pool's ice and fire. Being in the pool felt like soaking in a hot spring.
Qin Tian swam down a hundred zhang, only to encounter a barrier. No matter what he tried, he couldn't break through it. He knew it was because his strength was still too low. Otherwise, heh!
He glanced at the barrier unwillingly, then made up his mind. He would return to investigate once he grew stronger.
"Xiao Tian!"
As soon as Qin Tian appeared, he heard Qian Renxue's voice.
"Sister Xue."
After speaking, he leaped up and came straight out of the pool.
"Ah!"
"Xiao Tian, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Tian looked down at himself, his face turning red.
He had indeed forgotten about that. He immediately took a set of clothes from his Storage Soul Tool and quickly put them on.
He looked at Qian Renxue, who was covering her face. But weren't the gaps between her fingers a little too wide?
"Sister Xue, I'm dressed."
Qian Renxue lowered her hands and looked at Qin Tian, her face slightly red.
"Xiao Tian, are you all right?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's concerned question, Qin Tian smiled.
"Sister Xue, I'm fine. I went into the pool because I absorbed two Immortal Herbs."
"These two Immortal Herbs are extremely unusual. Taken separately, each is a deadly poison, but together, they're a treasure for body refinement."
"The Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, together with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, forged my Golden Body. From this moment on, I fear neither water nor fire, and I'm immune to all poisons."
Qian Renxue listened to Qin Tian with a calm expression. She had experienced the power of Immortal Herbs for herself. If he said he feared neither water nor fire and was immune to all poisons, she believed him. Even if he'd told her the day before that he'd forged an Indestructible Golden Body, she would have believed that, too.
"Xiao Tian, why hasn't your Soul Power increased after refining the two Immortal Herbs?"
Thinking of how much her Soul Power had surged after refining the Sacred Light Grass, Qian Renxue frowned as she looked at Qin Tian, whose Soul Power hadn't changed at all.
"Sister Xue, Immortal Herbs all have different effects. The herbs I took were mainly for improving my physique, not my Soul Power."
"Sister Xue, did your Martial Soul evolve after absorbing the Sacred Light Grass?"
Hearing Qin Tian's question, Qian Renxue smiled happily.
"Xiao Tian, the Immortal Herb's effects were amazing. My Martial Soul evolved from a Six-Winged Angel into an Eight-Winged Angel, and my Divine Power and Power of Light both improved tremendously. On top of that, my Soul Power increased by five levels."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue summoned her Martial Soul. An Eight-Winged Angel appeared behind her.
Qin Tian looked at the Eight-Winged Angel and sensed the Divine Power and Power of Light emanating from it. The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
"This Divine Power and Power of Light are so pure and concentrated. Is this Ultimate Power? Ultimate Sacred Power and Ultimate Light Power."
"It's a pity that only your Divine Power and Power of Light improved. Your Flame Power didn't change. If your flames had reached the level of Ultimate Fire, then with three Ultimate Powers, who could still be Sister Xue's match?"
Qin Tian sighed ruefully. He was deeply disappointed that her Flame Power hadn't reached the ultimate level.
