Upon reaching the edge of the basin, Yu Tianjun took out the Rare Medicinal Herb Encyclopedia he had prepared long ago.
"Father, look. The various Immortal Herbs described here match many of the plants below. Based on my observations, this should be one of the three great wondrous lands, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded and did not question the book's origins too much. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had countless ancient texts in its collection, and he had not read them all.
Yu Tianjun silently tucked the forged book back into his robes.
Fortunately, he had prepared two contingencies. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain the things he knew from before his transmigration.
Very soon, Yu Yuanzhen spotted the Medusa.
"Not bad. It really is over thirty thousand years old. Dealing with it will not be a problem, but I must end this quickly to avoid damaging the Immortal Herbs here."
Yu Yuanzhen spoke casually, feeling little pressure.
Over the years, although he had been occupied with clan affairs, his cultivation had also broken through to level ninety-two. A mere thirty-thousand-year-old Medusa was nothing worth mentioning.
Without the slightest intention of concealing himself, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
On Yu Yuanzhen's body, the seventh black Soul Ring suddenly flashed.
Martial Soul Avatar!
A massive blue Tyrant Dragon suddenly appeared. Terrifying lightning clung to its majestic body, and its powerful aura swept outward, forcing the many Immortal Herbs below to bow low.
The Immortal Herbs possessed spirituality, and they too feared Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen leaped forward and jumped straight into the basin.
Blue lightning flashed as his sixth Soul Ring lit up.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Thunder Fury!"
Lightning surged forth, occupying nearly half the basin in an instant. Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen held back his strength; otherwise, the Immortal Herbs here would all have been damaged.
The moment Yu Yuanzhen unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, the Medusa awoke. Her serpent hair shot out violently, and countless pythons swept forth amid terrifying hisses.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
Lightning collided with the snake hair, sending Medusa flying backward in an instant. Her originally dark purple snake hair was scorched black.
"Urgh..."
Medusa's face, covered in fine scales, was filled with pain.
The gap was too great. She was simply no match for Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen did not pause in the slightest. His right claw shook sharply, and his enormous body shot forward like lightning. Dragon claws danced through the air as arcs of electricity erupted.
The instant Yu Yuanzhen drew near, Medusa suddenly raised her head, which had been lowered in pain.
"Petrification!!!"
Yu Tianjun, watching from above, felt his heart tighten, but Yu Yuanzhen had clearly expected this. He shifted aside and swept up a massive boulder with his left claw, directly blocking Medusa's petrification.
Seeing this, Medusa was left with nothing but despair.
Before a Title Douluo, a mere thirty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast like her was no match at all.
After a futile struggle, Medusa died with resentment. Yu Yuanzhen waved a claw and directly dispersed Medusa's black Soul Ring.
After dismissing his Martial Soul Avatar, Yu Yuanzhen let out a breath.
Soul Beasts like Medusa were exceptionally troublesome. Fortunately, he had come prepared.
A Medusa that could be killed by Dugu Bo naturally could not trouble Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen did not even use a dagger. His right hand transformed into a blue dragon claw and viciously plunged into Medusa's corpse.
Sure enough, Yu Yuanzhen soon pulled out a bone that emitted a faint, lustrous glow.
"Ha ha ha ha! There really is a Spirit Bone, and it's a precious skull bone!"
Among Spirit Bones, skull bones and torso bones were the most valuable. This more-than-thirty-thousand-year-old Medusa skull bone could even serve as part of the clan's foundation.
Yu Yuanzhen was greatly pleased.
This trip had not only solved his son's problem, but had also yielded such a powerful Spirit Bone.
Yu Tianjun walked up to Yu Yuanzhen.
Looking at the Immortal Herbs scattered everywhere, Yu Tianjun could hardly contain his delight.
Holding the encyclopedia in his hands, Yu Tianjun compared them one by one.
Most of the book was actually genuine, containing records left behind by countless clan elders over the years. Yu Tianjun had merely added an introduction to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Naturally, that introduction had been artificially aged.
"Aromatic Silk Beauty, whose fragrance can neutralize toxins."
"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Taking it together with the Infernal Delicate Apricot can temper the body through ice and fire. It suits me well."
Yu Tianjun examined them one by one and soon found several Immortal Herbs suitable for himself.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
There were five Immortal Herbs in total, all exceptionally suitable for Yu Tianjun.
During this time, Yu Yuanzhen had also learned about these Immortal Herbs from the encyclopedia and naturally understood their value.
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"Tian Jun, keep whatever you need for yourself. I'll cover for you with the clan."
Yu Yuanzhen had thought it through clearly.
The clan had many factions. None of them could be closer than his own son. If Yu Tianjun became stronger, the clan would prosper as well.
Of course, Yu Tianjun was not foolish enough to consume all five Immortal Herbs at once. He first picked the Aromatic Silk Beauty and the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.
The medicinal properties of these two Immortal Herbs were mild and balanced. After consuming them, one could absorb the essence of heaven and earth.
The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid could also make up for slow cultivation speed, making it the most suitable choice for Yu Tianjun right now.
"Father, I'll refine these two Immortal Herbs first. The methods for collecting and storing the others are all recorded. Once you refine the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, just put the rest away."
Consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could forge an Indestructible Diamond Body. It was best suited for Soul Masters whose Soul Power was vast and righteous, domineering and fierce.
However, its effects overlapped somewhat with those of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. It was also well suited to Yu Yuanzhen, so Yu Tianjun did not intend to absorb it.
In truth, consuming more Immortal Herbs was not always better. Their powerful effects also meant they could easily conflict with one another.
Aromatic Silk Beauty, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew were all Immortal Herbs with gentle medicinal effects. Only because of the Golden Dragon's physical body did Yu Tianjun dare consume them together.
Even with talent as exceptional as Yu Tianjun's, he did not dare claim he could consume every Immortal Herb.
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, indicating that he understood.
The importance of these Immortal Herbs was self-evident. The two immediately sat cross-legged where they were and began absorbing the herbs.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid could greatly increase Soul Power as well. In the original story, they had raised Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who were at the Soul Elder stage, by eleven levels.
Although Yu Tianjun's cultivation was higher and his Martial Soul was an ultimate Martial Soul, he still reached level fifty. He only needed one more Soul Ring to become a Soul King!
Moreover, Yu Tianjun could feel that a considerable amount of medicinal power still remained in his body. His cultivation speed should increase dramatically over the coming period.
Yu Tianjun stood up excitedly. With these Immortal Herbs, he finally had the confidence to stand at the peak of the world.
The Golden Dragon Martial Soul was his foundation, while the clan provided resources.
With those two things, Yu Tianjun was guaranteed to become a Title Douluo.
But now that he had five Immortal Herbs, Yu Tianjun finally had genuine hope of becoming a god.
Speaking of Martial Souls, Yu Tianjun felt that his Golden Dragon had become somewhat different.
"Come to think of it, the Aromatic Silk Beauty seemed to have caused Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul Evolution in the original story..."
