Three Consecutive Rank-Ups

"What magnificent dragons! Two truly magnificent dragons!"

Seeing that the two Dragon Kings had gone completely still, Qin Yuan finally burst out laughing.

He clenched his fists, feeling his body strengthened once again, and couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

Still, they had been dead for countless years. The power they had left really wasn't much, and it couldn't compare to the strengthening from the two Immortal Herbs.

But at least he could withstand a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast now, perhaps even one older.

The only disappointment was that absorbing two God-tier Soul Bones hadn't increased his Soul Power by even one level.

It seemed that as time passed, the Soul Power inside the Soul Bones had completely dissipated.

But ten Soul Skills alone were already enough, especially when they could fuse together to achieve terrifying effects. What more could he ask for?

Besides, the two God-tier Soul Bones had also granted him a Domain—Ice Fire Domain!

Ice Fire Domain: Contains Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire! Covers a radius of one hundred meters, continuously inflicting extreme ice and fire damage on enemies and suppressing their combat strength by thirty percent!

Perfect! It really couldn't get any better!

What was Tang San? He was the real protagonist!

Qin Yuan burst out laughing.

"Ha... glug, glug..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, water flooded in, and he choked, hastily shutting it.

He swam upward, broke the surface of the lake, and got dressed.

Next, he began choosing among the eighteen Immortal Herbs that remained.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew: Eating it could grant Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, allowing one to see through all manner of wondrous things. This stuff could increase mental strength. He had to have it!

Aromatic Silk Beauty: Hailed as the bane of all poisons, it could neutralize every kind of toxin. It couldn't detoxify on its own, but it was the best herb for preventing poisoning. Within its range, no poison could take effect. He didn't need it himself, but he could give it to Qian Renxue.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red: A supreme treasure among Immortal Herbs, with the power to revive the dead and restore flesh to bones. Also known as the King of Immortal Flowers, it would never wither once picked, so long as it stayed by its owner's side.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red possessed a power said to endure as long as heaven and earth. It could raise Soul Power by at least ten levels, while also helping transformed Soul Beasts conceal their aura.

A supreme treasure like this naturally had to go to Qian Renxue!

Aromatic Silk Beauty: An Immortal Herb that could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. This one definitely had to go to Rongrong.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum: A neutral Immortal Herb. Eating it would channel energy through the limbs and circulate blood through the eight extraordinary meridians, allowing one to cultivate an indestructible body. It was practically made for his Golden Dragon. What was Dai Mubai, anyway? He wasn't worthy!

Water Lily Jade Bone: A crystalline white flower, like a green lotus and white root. Taking it could nourish the tendons and bones and circulate energy through the eight extraordinary meridians. It was meant for his little kitten.

Earth Dragon Golden Gourd: A top-grade Earth-attribute Immortal plant, it could strengthen control over the earth element and promote the evolution of dragon-type Martial Souls. It could also enhance the Golden Dragon Bloodline's control over the earth. This one was made for his Golden Dragon Martial Soul, too!

Sacred Nine-Petal Flower: A top-grade Immortal Herb with a sacred attribute. It could greatly enhance the evolution of Martial Souls with sacred attributes and increase Soul Power. This was made for his older sister!

Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Sacred Soul Grass...

After picking out eighteen Immortal Herbs, Qin Yuan was very pleased. He put them into the Hundred Treasures Bag he had prepared in advance, which could store living things.

Then he called Dugu Bo over.

Dugu Bo first glanced at his herb garden. Seeing one pit after another, the corners of his mouth twitched.

If this brat hadn't at least known to leave the roots, he might have lost his temper and attacked.

With a dark expression, Dugu Bo was about to take Qin Yuan away.

But then Qin Yuan said:

"Senior Dugu Bo, you're sick too."

Dugu Bo's face darkened further.

"I can cure you."

Dugu Bo broke into a beaming smile.

"Kid Qin, I knew you could do it."

"I have a condition," Qin Yuan said bluntly.

"No problem. Pick whatever Immortal Herbs you like from here." Dugu Bo no longer felt the slightest sting.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear." Qin Yuan grinned. "But I don't need them right now. I'll come back to pick them when I do."

"Come on, we know each other. No need to stand on ceremony." Dugu Bo waved a hand, unconcerned.

Qin Yuan wasn't worried that Dugu Bo would go back on his word. He simply smiled and used Life Miracle.

A dazzling white light flared.

Five minutes later.

Dugu Bo looked radiant and light on his feet, feeling better than ever.

"Kid Qin, I can't thank you enough. From now on, you're my brother. Just let me know if you need anything. I'd like to see who dares lay a finger on you!"

Dugu Bo's face brimmed with delight.

"Of course, of course." Qin Yuan smiled.

Then Dugu Bo led Qin Yuan away from the herb garden.

After seeing Qin Yuan off, Dugu Bo returned to his estate, his face glowing.

But the moment he stepped inside, he suddenly froze.

"Wait! Something's wrong!"

Qin Yuan had spent a full ten days treating Dugu Yan, and after each treatment, he had looked utterly haggard, as though his vitality had been drained.

But he had treated him in just five minutes!

And Dugu Bo's poisoning was far worse than Dugu Yan's!

How did that make sense?

Besides, after treating him, Qin Yuan had still been full of energy, without a thing wrong with him.

Dugu Bo was a wily old man with a lifetime of experience. He soon figured it out, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"What a crafty brat."

Three days later.

After refining the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Qin Yuan's Soul Power rose by three levels, reaching level fifty-four.

Not bad. After all, they had Ultimate Attributes, so it was only natural that they were hard to raise.

And he hadn't refined them all at once. The effects of these two Immortal Herbs would continue until he reached level seventy, considerably increasing the cultivation speed of his Ultimate Attributes.

Next, he took the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

He gained Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, allowing him to see the essence of all things, while his mental strength increased greatly.

In just a few days, he had taken five Immortal Herbs by himself. If Tang San knew, he'd probably jump up and down with envy and jealousy.

After taking the Immortal Herbs, Qin Yuan took the Sacred Nine-Petal Flower and Aromatic Silk Beauty to find Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was astonished when she learned what the Sacred Nine-Petal Flower and Aromatic Silk Beauty could do.

There were herbs like this in the world?

Qian Renxue accepted the Sacred Nine-Petal Flower, but no matter what, she refused to take the Aromatic Silk Beauty. She insisted Qin Yuan keep it for protection, in case someone tried to poison him.

"I have this. I'm not afraid of poison." Qin Yuan raised a hand, and a sacred white light shone from it.

Qian Renxue understood. She had nearly forgotten. So she accepted the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Then Qin Yuan took out another Immortal Herb.

It was an ordinary-looking white flower about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony. It had no leaves, and its stem connected to a large stone.

The stone was pitch-black all over and extraordinarily heavy. On the white flower were several startling streaks of red, as scarlet as blood, giving it a heart-stirring appearance.

"What herb is this?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It's called... Lovesick Heartbreak Red." Qin Yuan spoke softly. "It's a supreme Immortal treasure. Legend has it..."

Qin Yuan told Qian Renxue the story of Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

After hearing it, Qian Renxue's lashes trembled, and her vision grew hazy.

"So there was such a devoted person in the world..."

"Older sister, take it," Qin Yuan said softly.

Qian Renxue was struck as if by lightning.

"What did you call me?!"
