"Uncle Yue Guan, what kind of Domain did you gain, and how powerful is it?"
Bibi Dong was also surprised.
She couldn't help asking.
After all, based on her earlier guess, this Immortal Herb would help Yue Guan break through his final bottleneck and reach level 90. It might even let him cultivate an Indestructible Diamond Body.
As for gaining a Domain, she truly hadn't expected that. It was an unexpected bonus.
"I've named this Domain the Sky-Reaching Domain."
"The Domain has a diameter of a hundred meters. As my Soul Power increases, it can expand to five hundred meters or even farther."
"While inside the Domain, all my attributes are boosted by thirty percent, my defense increases by ninety percent, my Soul Power recovers twice as fast, and my Soul Skills grow forty percent more powerful. I can also support others, making their Soul Power flow smoothly. The Domain grants immunity to mental attacks, protection from the suppression of weaker Domains, and continuous recovery of vitality."
"Enemies inside the Domain have their speed reduced by thirty percent, their Soul Power flow suppressed, and their attack power reduced by twenty percent."
"Besides that, it comes with two secret Domain techniques. Golden Chrysanthemum Cage: I can condense countless Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums inside the Domain to form a cage. It seals space and cuts like metal, trapping a Title Douluo of the same rank for ten seconds."
"The other secret Domain technique is Sky-Reaching Rosy Clouds. I release golden rays that cleanse all negative states inside the Domain and instantly restore my Soul Power..."
Facing Gui Mei and Bibi Dong, Yue Guan held nothing back.
He felt better than ever.
"This Domain seems almost too powerful!"
Even Bibi Dong was stunned and found it hard to believe.
She, after all, possessed a Domain herself.
One of her two top-tier Martial Souls, the Death Spider Emperor, came with the Death Domain.
That made her all the more aware of just how powerful Yue Guan's Domain was.
Offense, enhancement, suppression, cleansing, healing—it had every function a Domain could need.
It was a true all-rounder.
"This..."
Gui Mei was so shocked he didn't know what to say.
He already knew how heaven-defying the Immortal Herb's effects were, but he'd never imagined they could be this extraordinary.
Gui Mei didn't know that the reason Yue Guan had gained so many unimaginable benefits after consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was naturally tied to his Martial Soul.
It was absolutely impossible for anyone else to gain such an incredible boost from an Immortal Herb.
"Xiao Dong, from now on, your uncle will protect you."
Yue Guan stepped in front of Bibi Dong, his eyes brimming with absolute confidence.
Now, his ambitions went beyond becoming a Title Douluo.
In his eyes, even if he couldn't reach the Grand Elder's level, he would at least attain the strength of the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Uncle, I'll hold you to that. Whatever happens, I'll come to you."
Seeing how happy Yue Guan was made Bibi Dong feel warm and happy, too.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a perfect match for Yue Guan.
With his Martial Soul evolved and a Domain gained, how could a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring possibly be good enough for him?
No matter what, she would find a way to get him a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
His evolved Martial Soul came with a Domain, he had forged an Indestructible Diamond Body, and he would have a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Spirit Bone.
Even Bibi Dong couldn't help wondering what heights Yue Guan would reach in the future.
"Yue Guan, let's go. Now that your strength has broken through, it's time to deal with those beasts."
Gui Mei, who hadn't been very interested in the Immortal Herbs before, was now full of anticipation after seeing how much Yue Guan had improved.
If he found an Immortal Herb suited to him, what kind of improvement would he gain?
The group then returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
As soon as they drew near, Yue Guan's eyes sharpened, and his expression grew grave.
It wasn't just Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Even Bibi Dong sensed something amiss.
Someone had approached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well while they were away.
"It's Dugu Bo. From the looks of it, he wants to hunt one of the Soul Beasts here for his Eighth Soul Ring."
Gui Mei identified him at once.
What Bibi Dong hadn't expected was that Dugu Bo had been so lucky.
On the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the six-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorus Poison Lizard and Medusa had somehow started fighting.
Dugu Bo had come to hunt for a Soul Ring and stumbled upon them.
Now he was concealed nearby, waiting for the two Soul Beasts to decide the victor—ideally, after they'd both been badly wounded—so he could jump in and steal the prize.
"Talk about perfect timing!"
Once she learned it was Dugu Bo, Bibi Dong immediately came up with a different idea.
They would harvest every mature Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
But harvesting the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs now would be wasteful.
Yet neither she nor Yue Guan and Gui Mei could stay here for long.
A treasure trove like this had to be kept under their control.
Once they killed the nine-thousand-year Emerald Snake Emperor in the central area, the surrounding poisonous miasma would dissipate. The mist alone wouldn't conceal the place for long, and some other Soul Master might accidentally stumble upon it.
But if they could bring Dugu Bo to heel, everything would be different.
With his poison arts and the concealing mist here, he could turn this place into a natural death trap.
How could Bibi Dong pass up such a perfect candidate to watch over the garden?
Bibi Dong then explained her idea to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Xiao Dong, that's a good plan, but it'll be difficult to pull off."
"Although I've only crossed paths with that kid Dugu Bo a few times, I know his character well. He's the stubborn sort."
"Unless he's thoroughly convinced, it'll be hard to win his loyalty."
Yue Guan considered it for a moment, then gave his opinion.
"What if I told you that Dugu Bo and his son have both been poisoned, and that I can save their lives?"
Bibi Dong smiled serenely.
"This... If that's the case, then there won't be any problem."
Yue Guan sounded absolutely certain.
He'd dealt with Dugu Bo several times in work and other matters, and knew his character well.
If that was truly the case, that old fellow might well give her his wholehearted loyalty.
"Uncle Gui Mei, there's something else I need you to take care of."
Bibi Dong then gave Gui Mei a few more instructions.
Just then, the two Soul Beasts were nearing the end of their fight.
Medusa was undeniably powerful and domineering.
Despite having cultivated for only fifty thousand years, she had beaten the sixty-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorus Poison Lizard and was about to drive it out of the poisonous miasma as well.
Watching this, Dugu Bo knew it was time to make his move and hunt for a Soul Ring.
The fifty-thousand-year-old Medusa was a little short on age, but its quality was so high that it could easily serve as his Eighth Soul Ring.
"If I were you, I'd choose that six-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorus Poison Lizard instead."
Just as Dugu Bo was about to move, a voice spoke beside his ear.
