Special Blue Silver Grass

Looking at the unusual Blue Silver Grass before him, Xiao Yi fell into thought. There was only one plant, and he had only one chance. In other words, he had to succeed this time.

According to Elder Yao, if this Blue Silver Grass were a Soul Beast, it would be equivalent to a seventy-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King. It also possessed the Blue Silver King's characteristics. Pull apart its vines, and you could see silver veins within.

Xiao Yi considered the matter. If he wanted Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass to transform and evolve, he had to condense all the essence of this plant into a single pill. Only then could he ensure a high chance of success.

He already had an idea of what medicinal properties he needed.

Blue Silver Grass was a plant with the wood attribute, primarily tied to the origin of life. It governed vitality and growth.

The wood attribute was also the foundation of all Plant-type Martial Souls, containing the purest essence of plants and the life force of the earth.

Xiao Yi planned to look for medicinal ingredients with those properties, as well as ones that could purify bloodlines. He was also thinking that it would be great if he could get his hands on Ah Yin's seedling from the Douluo I era.

That thing could definitely be used to create an artificial Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. Of course, it could also be used to create an artificial Blue Silver Emperor.

First was Spirit Essence Grass, which could purify bloodlines and help a Martial Soul evolve.

Green Vein Grass could nourish a Martial Soul and temper the body. Its medicinal properties were very mild, and it was also a common ingredient in the body-tempering medicinal liquids used by ancient sects.

There were also Wood Refining Lotus, Emerald Bamboo, Life Condensing Frost Grass, Ancient Life Vine Stamen, and a series of other life- and wood-attribute medicinal ingredients.

Last was this special Blue Silver Grass. Xiao Yi calculated that if a true Blue Silver Grass absorbed all these things, it could probably leap past the limitations of its bloodline and become a Blue Silver Emperor. If the bloodline wasn't enough, money could make up the difference.

After looking up some information several times, Xiao Yi drafted a pill formula.

According to his estimates, helping Tang Ya's Martial Soul evolve with this pill would be simple. As for the claim that only one Blue Silver Grass could exist at a time—

Setting aside the fact that the claim itself was wrong, when Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor ten thousand years ago, there had been another Blue Silver Emperor on the neighboring continent.

Now that contact with the Divine Realm had been lost, it was hard to say whether she was even on the Douluo Continent. Besides, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor should count as another branch of the Blue Silver Emperor.

After Tang Ya's Martial Soul evolved into a Blue Silver Emperor, it would be a little strange to wonder whether she or Tang Wutong looked more like Tang San's daughter. Back in his previous life, Xiao Yi had initially thought Tang Ya was Tang San's daughter.

After gathering the medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yi also found several of the main ingredients from the pill formula passed down by that Limit Douluo. These ingredients were extremely rare outside the academy, and their effects were related to improving spiritual power. Developing Alchemy required not only knowledge, but also spiritual power.

That was why Xiao Yi thought the pill formula developed by that Limit Douluo was the best of the lot.

With the ingredients in hand, Xiao Yi left the medicine storeroom. It was better to refine pills in his own little place.

When he reached the entrance to Freshman Class One, Xiao Yi nodded to Wang Yan in greeting. Wang Yan was somewhat surprised. Yan Shaozhe had told him long ago that Xiao Yi had begun cultivating in the Inner Academy and rarely returned to class.

He wasn't surprised, though. With Xiao Yi's strength, it would have been strange for him to stay in the freshman class.

The three little girls sitting inside lit up when they saw Xiao Yi. Huo Yutong especially had not seen him in a long time. She hadn't even had a chance to thank him for the Mystic Water Pill he had given her last time. It had helped her tremendously: not only had it improved the slight blockages in her meridians, it had also greatly accelerated her cultivation.

Xiao Yi had plans for the Mystic Water Pill too, but he hadn't put them into practice yet. How could he not develop a pill that could increase Innate Soul Power? He had even thought about creating a pill that could give ordinary people Soul Power.

Having grown up under the red flag, he was naturally dissatisfied with this world, full of oppression by the nobility. But this was a world with extraordinary powers. Without power, ordinary people were ultimately no more than ants. The idea that you could simply pile up enough people to kill a Titled Douluo was utter nonsense.

The class bell rang, and the freshmen in Class One streamed out. They mostly felt awe toward this legendary figure in their class.

"Xiao Yi." "Brother Xiao Yi!"

Three different voices called out from the doorway. Xiao Yi smiled at the three girls as they approached. With other people around, Tang Wutong had stopped herself from throwing herself into Xiao Yi's arms. She simply stood before him, looking rather bashful.

Her personality meant she could never put on that sweet, helpless act in front of other people.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, stepped forward, and embraced the pink-and-blue figure. Princess Tang was still very cute at this age. She was already a peerless beauty, and with her aloofness toward outsiders and her clingy, whimpering side around those close to her, who wouldn't love being the object of such special affection?

Feeling the familiar embrace, Tang Wutong glanced somewhat awkwardly at the other two. Her face reddened, and she felt like whimpering.

Xiao Xiao watched them with envy. She wanted to join in so badly.

Huo Yutong, meanwhile, looked pensive. So we're just a part of your little game, after all.

"Yutong, Xiao Xiao, since you're both here, come over. I have something to give you." Releasing the little butterfly in his arms, Xiao Yi called to the two little girls.

The two nodded and led Xiao Yi to the place where they usually trained.

When the four of them arrived, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong grew curious at Xiao Yi's mysterious manner. Tang Wutong merely pursed her lips, displeased and a little aggrieved. Couldn't he have met with the other two behind her back?

Seeing her pitiful expression, Xiao Yi rubbed her head in exasperation and spoke to her through voice transmission.

"Don't worry. I prepared something just for you." He meant the Fire Seal of the Fallen Heart Flame. This girl was far too lazy to cultivate at all, though she did have the power to get away with it.

He took out two jade bottles and handed one to each girl. He had given them the pills after considering it carefully. The things he planned to do in the future would require a group of supporters at his back, and these girls were naturally his first choice. In Douluo Continent, the most useful thing wasn't profit. It was the love bug.

"These are academy-made Soul Ascension Pills. They can raise your Soul Power by two levels if you're below Soul Elder. Xiao Xiao, you can save yours until you reach level twenty-eight before taking it. Same goes for you, Yutong. Especially you, Yutong—don't take it early." Xiao Yi spoke sternly to the two girls. With their enormous height difference, he looked just like a father lecturing his daughters.

Soul Masters' bodies grew and developed far faster than ordinary people's. Xiao Yi was already over 180 centimeters tall this year, and Tang Wutong was a full 170 centimeters. Her parents were both absurdly tall, after all. The two little girls were rather tiny by comparison.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse, especially Huo Yutong. She already owed Xiao Yi more than enough. She had just opened her mouth to decline when Tang Wutong cut her off.

"Yutong, Xiao Xiao, just take them. He's got very impure intentions toward the two of you." Tang Wutong spoke with a huff. Xiao Yi wasn't offended; it was true. He had never pretended to be devoted to only one person. Better to be upfront about it.

But Tang Wutong really hadn't changed at all. She was still asking for it.

Tang Wutong felt a familiar tingling sensation wash over her. She clenched her teeth, biting her lower lip to keep from making a strange sound, and shot Xiao Yi a coy glance.

"Then thank you, Brother Xiao Yi." Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly, her face turning a little red. So that was the reason? Was this the legendary feeling being mutual?

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yi." Huo Yutong accepted the pill with a blush. Her heart was touched, and she vowed to eat a little more so she could become the kind of girl Brother Xiao Yi liked.

She looked up at him, her face full of earnestness. Her Spirit Eyes, brilliant as the starry sky, gazed straight at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stroked Huo Yutong's smooth blue hair, then left on his own. He was going to refine pills this time, so it wasn't convenient to bring Tang Wutong along.

The three girls exchanged glances and began their usual training. They had no trouble passing the freshman assessment, but they still wanted to get good results.

Huo Yutong especially still had something to prove.
