The two of them had experienced what was happening to Qian Renxue; back when Qian Xunji had obtained his God Trial, the mark on his forehead had appeared exactly the same way.

Had they not been in such an inappropriate place, the two would have already begun asking questions.

Qian Renxue retracted her Martial Soul, her face full of smiles, but as she looked around, her eyes held confusion and doubt.

"Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, where is Xiao Tian?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's inquiry, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qingluan Douluo both looked toward the water pool.

"After Qin Tian consumed the two immortal herbs, he jumped into the pool. We don't know when he will come out."

Listening to Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qingluan Douluo, Qian Renxue looked at the pool, feeling the scorching heat and biting cold radiating 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 within that pool? With such terrifying power, won't Xiao Tian be in danger if he goes inside?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's complaint, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qingluan Douluo exchanged glances, both reading the meaning in the other's eyes.

At this moment, they only had one thought: the little cabbage they had raised for so many years was about to... but the problem was, Qin Tian was only six years old.

"Little Xue'er, you are just worried because you care. Qin Tian knows the effects of these immortal herbs; he jumped into the pool voluntarily, so he must have been confident in doing so. Otherwise, would he have taken such a risk?"

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said nothing more, instead staring at the pool, though the worry in her eyes did not dissipate.

"Awoo!"

A dragon roar resounded through the valley, and as the sound echoed, a terrifying dragon might permeated the surroundings.

Qian Renxue, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Qingluan Douluo all looked toward the Xuanhuang Light Orb.

They saw that the Xuanhuang Light Orb was now covered in countless cracks, and a second later, the light dissipated, revealing the figure of Dugu Yan.

Behind Dugu Yan, her Martial Soul manifested; it was no longer a Jade Phosphorous Serpent, but a jade-green Sub-Dragon.

The brand-new Martial Soul had two horns on its head, a pair of wings on its back, four feet under its belly, and its entire body was covered in jade-green dragon scales.

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan's Martial Soul and felt the tremor coming from his own; at this moment, his heart was filled with joy.

Martial Soul Evolution, it really was a Martial Soul Evolution; his granddaughter's Martial Soul had successfully evolved.

At this moment, he just wanted to look up and roar to the heavens; the problem that had plagued the Dugu family for years had finally been solved, and they would no longer be troubled by toxins in the future.

As for the Martial Soul Evolution, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was already a high-grade Martial Soul, and now it had taken a step further, becoming a Sub-Dragon type Martial Soul and entering the ranks of top-tier Martial Souls.

Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, filled with joy, and seeing Dugu Bo not far away, she immediately rushed over and hugged him.

"Grandfather, Grandfather, I succeeded, my Martial Soul has evolved."

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter in his arms, his face full of a loving smile.

"Good, good, good."

"Yan Yan, your Martial Soul has evolved, so you can cultivate with all your might from now on without worrying about the toxin problem."

Qian Renxue looked at the two and smiled in congratulation.

"Elder Dugu, your granddaughter's Martial Soul has successfully evolved, and she will no longer be troubled by toxins in the future."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Dugu Bo restrained his smile, looked at her, and spoke with a respectful expression.

"Young Master, Dugu Bo will keep this kindness in his heart; I will never betray Martial Soul Hall in this life."

Qian Renxue nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing Dugu Bo's words.

"Elder Dugu, your granddaughter's Martial Soul has evolved, but I wonder what innate abilities it possesses?"

Hearing Golden Crocodile's question, Dugu Bo immediately looked at Dugu Yan in his arms.

Before Dugu Bo could even ask, Dugu Yan had already answered.

"After my Martial Soul evolved, not only was my toxin greatly enhanced, but I also mastered Earth Power. As long as I stand on the ground, I can continuously draw upon Earth Power to restore my own soul power."

"Now, not only do I possess terrifying poison, but my physical body is also no weaker than those of the same rank with beast Martial Souls."

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qingluan Douluo nodded slightly upon hearing Dugu Yan's words.

The five continued to converse, though the main subject of the conversation was naturally Dugu Yan; as for Qian Renxue, they would certainly not ask what improvements she had gained after her Martial Soul Evolution.

Time passed slowly, and three days had passed before they knew it.

During this period, Qian Renxue would return to Heaven Dou City during the day to play the role of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and at night, she would come to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to wait for Qin Tian.

Golden Crocodile Douluo remained to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Qingluan Douluo returned to the Worship Hall to inform Qian Daoliu of what had happened, and incidentally, to have Qian Daoliu arrange for people to come and guard the site.

As for Dugu Bo, he took Dugu Yan to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable soul ring.

"Xiao Tian, why haven't you come out yet?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's murmur, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but sigh; the little cabbage he had raised was about to...

Just as Qian Renxue was murmuring, the pool began to change.

This change caught Qian Renxue's attention, and she stared fixedly at the pool, her eyes full of anticipation.

After Qin Tian consumed the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, he had tried his best to refine them, but under the impact of their terrifying medicinal power, he ultimately could not hold on and successfully fell unconscious.

When he woke up, he did not rush to go up, but instead dove toward the bottom, the reason being the remains of the Two Great Dragon Kings.

After the Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement, the ice and fire energy in the pool was already immune to him; staying inside the pool felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

Qin Tian dove a hundred zhang deep, only to encounter a barrier. No matter what methods he employed, he could not break through it. He knew this was because his strength was too weak; otherwise, heh!

Taking one last unwilling look at the barrier, Qin Tian made a decision in his heart: he would return to explore it once his strength was greater in the future.

"Xiao Tian!"

The moment Qin Tian emerged, he heard the voice of Qian Renxue.

"Sister Xue."

As he spoke, he leaped upward and exited the pool directly.

"Ah!"

"Xiao Tian, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Tian looked down at his body, his face turning slightly red.

He had forgotten about this, so he immediately took a set of clothes from his Soul Tool and quickly put them on.

He looked at Qian Renxue, who was covering her face, and thought, Aren't the gaps between your fingers a bit too wide?

"Sister Xue, I'm dressed now."

Qian Renxue lowered her hands and looked at Qin Tian, her face flushed.

"Xiao Tian, are you alright?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's concerned inquiry, Qin Tian's face was full of smiles.

"Sister Xue, I'm fine. The reason I entered the pool was because I absorbed two immortal herbs."

"These two immortal herbs are extremely unique. If taken separately, they are highly toxic, but when paired together, they are treasures for tempering the body."

"The Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, combined with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, helped me forge a golden body. From this moment on, I am immune to water and fire, and impervious to all poisons."

Qian Renxue listened to Qin Tian's words with a very calm expression, simply because she had personally experienced the power of immortal herbs. Not to mention being immune to water, fire, and all poisons, even if he had said the day before that he had forged an Indestructible Golden Body, she would have believed him.

"Xiao Tian, why hasn't your soul power increased after refining the two immortal herbs?"

Thinking of how her own soul power had surged after refining the Sacred Light Grass, and looking at Qin Tian, whose soul power showed no change at all, Qian Renxue couldn't help but frown.

"Sister Xue, the wonderful effects of immortal herbs differ. The ones I consumed were primarily used to improve my physique rather than to increase my soul power."

"After absorbing the Sacred Light Grass, did your Martial Soul evolve, Sister Xue?"

Hearing Qin Tian's question, Qian Renxue smiled very happily.

"Xiao Tian, the effect of the immortal herb is very powerful. My Martial Soul evolved from a Six-Winged Angel into an Eight-Winged Angel, and my Sacred Power and Light Power have also been greatly enhanced. Not only that, but my soul power has increased by five levels."

As she finished speaking, Qian Renxue summoned her Martial Soul, and the Eight-Winged Angel appeared behind her.

Qin Tian looked at the Eight-Winged Angel, feeling the Sacred Power and Light Power it radiated, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Such ultimate and pure Sacred and Light Power—is this Ultimate Power? Ultimate Sacred Power and Ultimate Light Power."

"It is a pity that only the Sacred Power and Light Power were enhanced, while the Flame Power remained unchanged. If the flame could be elevated to Ultimate Fire, with three types of Ultimate Power at your disposal, who else could be Sister Xue's match?"

Qin Tian sighed with emotion, feeling very regretful that the Flame Power had not been elevated to the ultimate level.
