Purple Scale Armor-Piercing Thorn, Bone Bestowal, Jade Scale Blood-Transforming Kick! Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma Distribution!

As the giant python completely lost its vitality, a deep purple soul ring slowly emerged.

Meng Yiran immediately sat cross-legged, guiding the soul ring into her body to begin absorption.

Half an hour later, soul power surged around Meng Yiran as she slowly opened her eyes, four soul rings rhythmically pulsing beneath her feet.

"How do you feel? What is your fourth soul skill?"

Huang Yan looked at her and asked casually.

Meng Yiran's face was full of joy as she stood up and respectfully reported:

"Reporting to Young Master, the absorption went very smoothly! My fourth soul skill is called 'Purple Scale Armor-Piercing Thorn'. Not only does it increase the piercing power of my Serpent Cane by one hundred percent, ignoring more than half of the defenses of opponents at the same level, but it also carries a potent paralytic toxin."

"Not bad, a very practical soul skill."

Huang Yan nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze toward Dugu Bo.

"Yiran's soul ring is settled. Dugu Bo, do you have any suggestions regarding my fifth soul ring?"

Huang Yan did not know much about the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was the perfect time to ask for Dugu Bo's opinion.

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed:

"Young Master, although the Sunset Forest is vast, high-year soul beasts are scarce. To find a flying soul beast between seventy thousand and ninety thousand years old that is also of the fire or light attribute... I am afraid it is impossible to find one in this Sunset Forest."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is several times the size of the Sunset Forest, and the closer you get to the core area, the more top-tier soul beasts under one hundred thousand years you will find. If we go there, this old man is confident in finding a satisfactory prey for you, Young Master."

"Good."

Huang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"In that case, we shall depart immediately for the Star Dou Great Forest."

"With a Title Douluo like you accompanying me, as long as we don't provoke the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, we will naturally be unimpeded."

Huang Yan smiled faintly, not rushing to leave just yet.

"However, there is one more thing before we set off."

Huang Yan flipped his wrist and took out a bone emitting a dark green glow from his storage ring.

A rich aura of poison attribute instantly permeated the air.

"Dugu Bo, you have performed well during this time; this soul bone shall be your reward."

Dugu Bo fixed his eyes on it, his old eyes instantly widening, his breathing becoming ragged:

"Young Master, this... is this a soul bone?!"

"A twenty-thousand-year-level Jade Scale Poison Python Left Leg Bone, which fits your poison attribute perfectly."

Huang Yan tossed the soul bone over casually.

"Take it."

Dugu Bo scrambled to catch the soul bone, trembling with excitement, and immediately knelt on one knee, bowing his head heavily:

"Thank you for your generous gift, Young Master! From now on, this old man will surely serve you with my life and soul!"

The preciousness of a soul bone went without saying.

Even as a Title Douluo, he could not remain calm when faced with a twenty-thousand-year soul bone that perfectly matched his own.

"Enough, get up. Don't waste time; refine it right here to boost your strength before we depart."

Huang Yan commanded.

"Yes! This old man obeys!"

Dugu Bo did not hesitate, immediately walking to the side to sit cross-legged.

He pressed the soul bone against his left leg and began to channel his soul power to refine it.

More than an hour later.

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, a dark green light flashing across his left leg before vanishing.

"Finished refining? What soul skill did you obtain?" Huang Yan asked casually, looking at him.

Dugu Bo's face was flushed with excitement as he cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Young Master, it went extremely smoothly! This old man has obtained an incredibly powerful single-target attack soul skill called 'Jade Scale Blood-Transforming Kick'! Not only is its explosive power astonishing, but it also carries an extremely tyrannical corrosive poison. If an opponent of the same level is struck by me, within an hour or less, their physical body and soul power will both dissolve into a pool of blood!"

"Not bad. With this soul bone, your combat power has increased by another notch, and we will have more certainty heading to the Star Dou Great Forest." Huang Yan nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. "Let's go. Destination: Star Dou Great Forest."

Just as Huang Yan finished speaking, Meng Yiran remained standing where she was. She bit her red lip lightly, her tone hesitant as she spoke, "Young Master... Yiran, Yiran has a request."

"Speak." Huang Yan stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

"Yiran wishes to ask the Young Master for immortal herbs on behalf of my grandparents..." Meng Yiran lowered her head, explaining at a rapid pace for fear of angering Huang Yan. "Grandfather is currently at level eighty-eight. If he could have the aid of an immortal herb, there is a high probability he could break through his bottleneck and become a Title Douluo! If Grandmother refines an immortal herb, she could also break through to the Soul Saint realm and possess a Martial Soul Avatar. By then, when the two elders perform their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, 'Dragon-Serpent Combined Strike', their strength will surely skyrocket, and they will be able to serve the Young Master even better!"

After listening, Huang Yan smiled without a moment's hesitation. "I thought it was something else; of course, that is fine."

Meng Yiran jerked her head up, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. "Young Master, you... you agreed?"

"Dragon Duke Meng Shu already possesses impressive strength. I had originally intended to bestow an immortal herb upon him to help him step into the realm of a Title Douluo and become a major asset under my command." Huang Yan's tone was indifferent.

As for Chao Tianxiang... Huang Yan pondered to himself. That old woman's potential had long since been exhausted. Even if he gave her a true immortal herb, she would likely be stuck at the Soul Douluo realm for the rest of her life. It would be a complete waste of a heavenly treasure. He had originally not intended to give Chao Tianxiang an immortal herb. However, considering how comfortably and attentively Meng Yiran had served him, it wouldn't hurt to give her grandmother a little treat.

Huang Yan flipped his wrist, and an immortal herb brimming with spiritual energy appeared in his palm, along with a glowing purple ganoderma. "Take this immortal herb to your grandfather." Huang Yan handed the two herbs to Meng Yiran and pointed to the purple ganoderma, continuing, "As for this Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, while it doesn't count as a true immortal herb, it is still a top-tier herb rarely seen in this world. Your grandmother's potential is spent, and she cannot handle overly potent supplements. The medicinal properties of this Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma are mild; it is just right to help her consolidate her foundation and assist her in breaking through to the Soul Saint realm. That will be enough."

As for the immortal herb, it was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

"Many thanks, Young Master! Yiran and the Dragon and Serpent Family will never forget the Young Master's great kindness!" Meng Yiran's eyes were slightly red with excitement. Her hands trembled slightly as she took the herbs and carefully stored them away in her storage Soul Tool.

"We are all our own people; there is no need for such formalities." Huang Yan reached out to wrap his arm around Meng Yiran's slender waist, and the wings of the Bright Phoenix suddenly unfurled from his back. "Then let us first return to Heaven Dou City."

The three of them traveled at lightning speed, and soon returned to Heaven Dou City.

As soon as they landed in the courtyard of Dugu Bo's residence, Huang Yan released his hold on Meng Yiran.

"Go on, give the medicinal herbs to your grandfather and grandmother."

Huang Yan instructed.

"Tell them to refine them as soon as possible. Once they emerge from seclusion, we will set off for the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Yes, Young Master! This one will return shortly."

Meng Yiran bowed respectfully, then turned and hurried away, eager to reach the base of the Dragon and Serpent Family.
