Immortal Herb Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Refining the Skull, Gu Ying Level 89! Yu Yuanzhen Pays Compensation?
Qian Yu turned around, flipped his wrist, and retrieved a strange plant from his Soul Tool.
The plant was snow-white throughout, crystalline and translucent, as if carved from the finest mutton-fat jade.
The moment it appeared, a refreshing and heart-soothing fragrance permeated the entire pavilion.
Gu Ying was drawn in by this exotic scent, her gaze falling upon what was in Qian Yu's hand as she asked in surprise:
"Yu'er, what flower is this?
Such dense spiritual energy."
Qian Yu smiled slightly and handed the flower to Gu Ying:
"Mother, this is called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone; it is a true immortal herb."
"An immortal herb?"
Gu Ying was stunned for a moment.
"What use does this immortal herb have?"
Qian Yu explained patiently:
"The function of this immortal herb is to moisten the tendons and nourish the bones, clearing the seven meridians and eight vessels.
Not only can it significantly increase your soul power, but more importantly, it can cleanse your marrow and wash your tendons, thoroughly elevating your cultivation aptitude.
With it, your future path to breaking through to Title Douluo will be smooth sailing."
Bibi Dong, standing to the side, also smiled and chimed in:
"That's right, Mother. This was specially selected for you by Brother Yu.
You should accept it quickly; this immortal herb will be of great benefit to your body."
Gu Ying gasped, her hands trembling slightly as she took the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone:
"This... such a precious item, Yu'er, you should keep it for yourself, or give it to Dong'er. I am already at my age..."
Qian Yu shook his head, his tone gentle yet beyond reproach:
"Mother, Dong'er and I have already consumed other immortal herbs.
The attributes of this Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone are mild, making it the most suitable for you.
Once your strength improves, I will have fewer worries."
Seeing her son's resolute attitude, a warm current flowed through Gu Ying's heart. Her eyes reddened, and she no longer declined:
"Alright, alright, then Mother will accept it.
How should this immortal herb be consumed?"
Qian Yu instructed:
"Eat only the petals, and finally suck on the stamen.
After eating, sit cross-legged immediately and circulate your soul power to absorb the medicinal effects.
Dong'er and I will stay here to guard you."
Following Qian Yu's instructions, Gu Ying consumed the immortal herb, then immediately sat cross-legged with her eyes closed to begin refining it.
A while later.
The fluctuations of soul power on Gu Ying's body gradually calmed down. She slowly opened her eyes, which were filled with disbelief.
"Yu'er, this immortal herb is truly miraculous!"
Gu Ying stood up, excited.
"My soul power has actually jumped directly from level eighty-six to the peak of level eighty-eight!
I am only a single step away from level eighty-nine!"
Bibi Dong took Gu Ying's arm and smiled sweetly:
"Congratulations, Mother. At this rate, breaking through to Title Douluo is just around the corner."
Qian Yu nodded slightly, then flipped his wrist again, and a mass of dark purple light emitting powerful mental fluctuations appeared in his palm.
"Mother, let's strike while the iron is hot.
You should absorb this soul bone as well."
Gu Ying looked closely, and her breath hitched:
"This is... a skull soul bone?!"
Qian Yu chuckled:
"Correct. This is a Medusa skull soul bone with a cultivation of eighty thousand years; its quality is excellent."
Gu Ying waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes reddening, her voice trembling with emotion:
"No, Yu'er, this is too precious!
Skull soul bones are already extremely rare, let alone one that is eighty thousand years old!"
"You and Dong'er are at the exact moment when you need to improve your strength; you must keep this Soul Bone for yourselves!"
Qian Yu shoved the Soul Bone into Gu Ying's hands, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable firmness:
"Mother, Dong'er and I already have plans for our own Soul Bones, and this Medusa skull is not suitable for us.
Please, just accept it with peace of mind.
With it, you can step directly into level eighty-nine today."
Bibi Dong also chimed in from the side to persuade her:
"That's right, Mother. Since Brother Yu is giving it to you, you should just accept it; this is also a gesture of Brother Yu's filial piety."
Unable to resist the two of them, Gu Ying could only wipe the corners of her eyes and grip the Soul Bone tightly:
"Alright... alright, Mother will listen to you both."
Having said that, Gu Ying sat cross-legged once again, channeling her soul power into the skull to begin the fusion.
Half an hour later.
Gu Ying opened her eyes, unable to contain her joy.
"Level eighty-nine!
I really have broken through to level eighty-nine!"
Qian Yu asked with a smile:
"Mother, what skill did this skull grant you?"
Gu Ying smiled slightly and explained:
"It is a soul skill called Medusa's Gaze.
It can shoot a mental beam from my eyes, instantly petrifying the target.
The weaker the target's mental power, the longer they remain petrified."
It was just like the arm bone Bibi Dong possessed.
It was quite fitting for the characteristics of a soul beast like the Medusa.
Qian Yu nodded in appreciation:
"A very practical control god-tier skill.
Mother, your martial soul is the Shadow Dragon, which is already adept at concealing aura and appearing and disappearing like a ghost.
If you were to suddenly use this Medusa's Gaze to land a hard crowd-control effect while lurking in the shadows, and then follow up with the Shadow Dragon's explosive finishing moves...
Even a true Titled Douluo would suffer a great loss at your hands if they were the least bit careless."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ying nodded in deep agreement, her eyes filled with confidence:
"Indeed, with this unexpected control skill, my combat effectiveness has at least doubled!"
Gu Ying restrained the fluctuations of her soul power, the smile on her face impossible to hide:
"With this level eighty-nine cultivation, plus this Soul Bone, Mother can finally be of real help to you from now on.
I would like to see who in this Heaven Dou City dares to provoke us easily."
Given Qian Yu's status in Martial Soul Hall.
Once Gu Ying broke through to become a Titled Douluo.
She could immediately become a powerful elder with real authority in Martial Soul Hall.
However, by then, with her status as a Titled Douluo, Gu Ying would likely be transferred back to Martial Soul City.
A new Platinum Bishop would be sent to the main hall in Heaven Dou City.
Qian Yu nodded with a smile:
"Mother, you have absorbed both the immortal herb and the Soul Bone in quick succession, and the leap in your soul power is too great.
It would be best for you to decline visitors for the next few days and stay in the manor to properly stabilize your realm."
Gu Ying agreed:
"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing.
However, as for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..."
Qian Yu's tone was indifferent:
"Yu Yuanzhen is a smart man. Since he admitted defeat in public, he will not ruin his clan's reputation over a matter like this.
When they send the compensation in a few days, we will keep the twenty million Gold Soul Coins and the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
As for that half of the businesses within Heaven Dou City, you will need to personally send people to take them over and manage them, Mother."
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Ying's eyes as she said confidently:
"Leave it to me."
"Since this piece of fat has reached our mouths, there is no way they will be allowed to play any more tricks."
Bibi Dong, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled:
"With Mother personally taking the lead, coupled with your current strength at level eighty-nine, they wouldn't dare to pull any strings behind our backs, even if they were given ten times the courage."
Gu Ying was tickled pink by Bibi Dong, taking her hand and patting it:
"You certainly have a sweet tongue.
You two have been running around outside these past few days and went through that great battle at the Soul Arena; you must be exhausted.
Go back to your rooms and rest. I will instruct the kitchen to prepare a feast right away, and tonight, our family will have a proper celebration."
Qian Yu gave a slight nod:
"Then I will trouble Mother.
Additionally, if the Heaven Dou Imperial family or other sects send over any invitation cards, decline them all.
Now is not the time to concern ourselves with them."
Gu Ying nodded solemnly:
"I understand. You two go and rest at ease; I will handle the matters outside."
Qian Yu took Bibi Dong's hand, and the two bid farewell to Gu Ying, turning to walk toward their living quarters in the backyard.
