Ye Que nodded in confirmation, then urged Yu Mengdi to hurry off and consume the immortal herb to advance.
That big sister's way of speaking was on par with Tang Ya; neither had any emotional intelligence, actually cursing him to die.
Yu Mengdi turned and left, finding a place rich in spiritual energy to begin consuming the immortal herb and advancing according to the method the Young Master had described.
Whether she could become a Six-Winged Angel soul master depended entirely on this immortal herb.
Once everyone else had gone to consume their herbs, Ye Que finally turned his attention to his own.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and more—all of these were his to consume.
This was the foundation for becoming a god, the greatest of opportunities.
Which one should he eat first?
He would start with the Aromatic Silk Beauty, then consume the ice and water-attributed immortal herbs to forge a body of indestructible diamond.
By then, let alone his fifth soul ring being one hundred thousand years, every subsequent soul ring would have to be one hundred thousand years as well.
Just as Ye Que was feeling smug, the purple beauty beside him suddenly asked, "Are you a transmigrator?"
The moment those words left her lips, Ye Que's nerves tightened instantly.
He turned his head in disbelief and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Youyou held a storybook and said, "You're clearly here for the first time, yet you know more about these immortal herbs than I do, even knowing the methods of consumption. You don't look like a normal person at all."
"Either you're a descendant of that old ghost Dugu, a descendant of the Sea God, or you're a transmigrator."
"In the novels I read, only transmigrators are this familiar with everything."
Ye Que's mouth twitched. He snatched the storybook from Youyou's hand and said indifferently, "Read less of this stuff; it makes you prone to wild fantasies. As for why I know more about the herbs than you, that's because I have my own opportunities."
"Next time I come, I'll bring you a few good ones."
Youyou's purple eyes lit up, and she pressed, "Really? You aren't lying to me?"
Ye Que stroked his chin and thought seriously, saying, "Have you read The Son of the Plane Falls in Love with a Flower? I think that one would be perfect for you."
"Just hearing the title is tempting enough!"
Hearts bloomed in Youyou's beautiful eyes. Her favorability toward Ye Que maxed out instantly, and the thought of defecting began to sprout.
Why did the storybooks describe angels as so evil?
The angel soul master she knew was incredibly kind.
Ye Que was not only a wonderful person, but he was also interesting to talk to and handsome—he had no flaws at all.
Such an interesting person was actually the evil Angel God.
Youyou decided her faith needed a change.
Although she was physically with the Sea God, her heart now belonged to the Angel God.
Long live the Angel God!
Ye Que looked at the silly herb girl's smile, realizing the beauty was probably overexcited, and turned to take out the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to consume.
Before long, his eyes felt as if they had opened the door to a new world, his spiritual power rising to an entirely different level.
Everything here, down to the rustle of the grass, was under the scrutiny of his spiritual perception.
As expected of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew; it truly was a treasure.
Afterward, Ye Que took out the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
Consuming this immortal herb could allow a soul master's martial soul to evolve, elevating it to another degree.
Qian Renxue had said that a First-Class God was not the limit for the Angel God, and the Six-Winged Angel was not its final form.
If so, after consuming the Aromatic Silk Beauty, would he be able to reach the Twelve-Winged Angel form that Qian Renxue spoke of?
With this thought in mind, Ye Que decisively consumed the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
A few minutes later, Ye Que's eyes suddenly erupted with golden light, and his Six-Winged Angel martial soul released itself uncontrollably.
Then, the essence of the immortal herb exploded within his body, and a surge of extreme, violent power instantly radiated outward.
"Is this... is his martial soul evolving?"
Youyou blinked her purple eyes, gazing at Ye Que, who looked like a god, with a hint of admiration.
Ye Que's angel wings seemed to undergo an evolution, sprouting another six wings on top of the original six.
Although they were only phantoms, Youyou believed that once the essence of the immortal herb was fully absorbed, they would become a true Twelve-Winged Angel.
At this moment, a fire-red cabbage not far away spoke up: "Youyou, the Angel Clan is the enemy of the Sea God. As followers of the Sea God, we shouldn't let this angel grow."
"Let's kill him while he's at this critical moment!"
Unexpectedly, the moment Ajiao finished speaking, Youyou gave her a cold look and scolded, "Ajiao, you really are as brainless as Xiong Jun in those storybooks."
"Who is a follower of the Sea God? You might be, but I'm not. I was born the nemesis of all poisons; all immortal herbs must bow to me. Why should I acknowledge the Sea God as my father?"
"Back then, the Sea God plucked our predecessors and didn't even take us with him to become gods. Instead, he made us wait for him, and this wait has lasted ten thousand years. I've had enough."
Ajiao argued, "But without the Sea God's protection, we would have been plundered clean long ago; we never would have had the chance to grow to this point."
Youyou let out a scoff, took out a storybook to flip through, and stated bluntly, "We immortal herbs are treasures of heaven and earth by nature, born with the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flower as a companion for protection. Even a Titled Douluo would be corroded to death; why would we fear soul masters?"
"Even if a soul master were to obtain our predecessors, if they did not follow the proper method of consumption, the only result would be to explode and die."
"Don't forget, even that old thing Dugu Bo only dares to cultivate here and wouldn't dare harbor the slightest intention toward my sisters, because if you don't know what you're doing, you'll be sent straight to heaven."
"No matter which god obtains the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, they will protect us and then harvest us like leeks. Once that big shot no longer needs us, they will toss us into a small world to continue growing, waiting for the next fated person."
"Therefore, the concept of faith does not exist for us; our endings are all the same."
Once these words were spoken, they subverted Ajiao's worldview.
She took another look at Youyou and discovered that the other party had already abandoned the nature of a plant-type soul beast and chosen humanity.
Youyou did not seem like a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but rather like a human woman who had attained sentience.
However, what Youyou said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Those who understand the times are wise; one should not invite trouble for oneself.
Ajiao silently abandoned the idea of assassinating Ye Que, and her consciousness sank back into slumber.
Yet, what they did not know was that the Dragon Subduing Douluo's spiritual power had been constantly monitoring the two great immortal herbs, and he had not immediately begun condensing his second Soul Core.
As a Super Douluo, he would never place absolute trust in soul beasts.
If Ajiao had made a move, the Dragon Subduing Douluo would have absolutely smashed that immortal herb to pieces with a single strike of his staff.
Even now, with Youyou providing a sense of reassurance, the Dragon Subduing Douluo did not lower his guard, pretending to assault the second Soul Core while keeping a watchful eye on whether the immortal herbs would make a move against the Young Master.
Waiting for Guangyu Douluo to break through first before attempting the second Soul Core was the most stable approach.
Following that, the cultivation of Ye Que and the others progressed steadily, and each of them gained significant benefits.
It was not until five days later.
Guangyu Douluo was the first to exit his meditative state, his aura surging with a sudden, massive increase.
He exclaimed, "Young Master, I have promoted to a level 96 Super Douluo!"
