Looking at the peculiar Blue Silver Grass before him, Xiao Yi pondered. There was only one such plant, meaning he had only one chance; success was mandatory.

According to Elder Yao, if this Blue Silver Grass were a soul beast, it would be equivalent to a 70,000-year-old Blue Silver King, possessing all the characteristics of one. By peeling back the vines, one could see the silver veins within.

Xiao Yi calculated that to trigger a metamorphosis and evolution in Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass, he had to fuse the entire essence of this plant into a single pill to guarantee the success rate.

Regarding the medicinal properties, Xiao Yi already had a plan in mind.

Blue Silver Grass belongs to the plant category, possessing a wood attribute, primarily rooted in the essence of life, focusing on vitality and growth.

The wood attribute is the foundational attribute for all plant-type martial souls, containing the purest herbal essence and the vitality of the earth.

Xiao Yi focused his search for medicinal materials on these aspects and bloodline purification. He couldn't help but think how much easier it would be if he could obtain the seedling of Ah Yin from the era of the first Douluo.

That thing could definitely create a man-made Blue Silver Emperor martial soul—or, of course, a man-made Blue Silver Emperor.

First was the Spirit Essence Grass, capable of purifying bloodlines and aiding in martial soul metamorphosis.

Then the Green Vein Grass, which nourishes the martial soul and strengthens the physique; its medicinal properties are very mild, making it a common material in the body-tempering liquids of ancient sects.

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

Finally, there was this special Blue Silver Grass. Xiao Yi calculated that if these materials were absorbed by a true Blue Silver Grass, it could likely leap over the shackles of its bloodline and become a Blue Silver Emperor. If the bloodline isn't enough, money can make up for it.

After repeatedly checking various records, Xiao Yi drafted a pill formula.

For this type of pill, evolving Tang Ya's martial soul as envisioned would be a simple matter. As for the claim that only one Blue Silver Grass could exist at a time, that was nonsense.

Not to mention that the "only one" rule was inherently false—ten thousand years ago, when Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, there was another Blue Silver Emperor on the neighboring continent.

With the God Realm currently out of contact, it was hard to say if she was still on the Douluo Continent. Besides, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor should count as another branch of the Blue Silver Emperor anyway.

After Tang Ya's martial soul evolved into a Blue Silver Emperor, it would be a bit strange to wonder who resembled Tang San's daughter more between her and Tang Wutong. In his past life, Xiao Yi had initially thought Tang Ya was Tang San's daughter.

After preparing the herbs, Xiao Yi found the main ingredients from the formula passed down by that Limit Douluo. These herbs were extremely rare and their effects were related to enhancing spiritual power. To develop alchemy, one needed not only a store of knowledge but also strong spiritual power.

This was why Xiao Yi considered this the best formula developed by that Limit Douluo.

With the herbs in hand, Xiao Yi left the storage room; it was better to refine the pills in his own den.

At the entrance of the Freshman Class 1, Xiao Yi nodded to Wang Yan as a greeting. Wang Yan was somewhat surprised; Yan Shaozhe had already told him that Xiao Yi had moved to the Inner Court for cultivation and rarely returned to attend classes.

He wasn't surprised, though; with Xiao Yi's strength, it would be strange for him to remain in a freshman class.

The three little ones sitting inside saw Xiao Yi and their eyes lit up, especially Huo Yutong. She hadn't seen Xiao Yi for a long time and hadn't even had the chance to thank him for the Mystic Water Pill he had gifted her last time. It had been a massive help, not only improving her previously blocked meridians but also greatly accelerating her cultivation speed.

Xiao Yi also had ideas regarding the Mystic Water Pill, though he hadn't put them into practice yet. How could he not develop a pill capable of increasing Innate Soul Power? He had even considered creating a pill that would allow ordinary people to possess soul power.

Having grown up under the red flag, he naturally felt dissatisfied with this world full of aristocratic oppression. However, this was a world of extraordinary power; ordinary people without strength were ultimately just ants. As for the idea of relying on sheer numbers to exhaust a Titled Douluo to death, that was pure nonsense.

The bell rang, and the freshmen of Class 1 swarmed out. They held mostly awe for this legendary figure in their class.

"Xiao Yi." "Brother Xiao Yi!"

Three different calls came from the doorway. Xiao Yi smiled as he watched the three approach. Tang Wutong, hindered by the presence of others, stopped her movement to throw herself into Xiao Yi's arms. She stood gracefully before him, her expression slightly awkward.

Her personality dictated that she couldn't act like a clinging girl in front of others.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and stepped forward to embrace the pink-blue figure. Princess Tang was still very cute right now; she was already a top-tier beauty, and combined with this personality of being cold to the world but a "crying baby" in private, who wouldn't love such deliberate favoritism?

Tang Wutong felt the familiar embrace and, feeling slightly unnatural, stole a glance at the other two girls. Her face flushed, and she felt a sudden urge to whimper.

Xiao Xiao, standing to the side, was filled with envy; she wanted to join in.

Huo Yutong, however, was lost in thought. As expected, we are just a part of the game between the two of you.

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

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

When the four arrived, seeing Xiao Yi acting all mysterious, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong were curious. Tang Wutong, however, pouted, feeling unhappy and a bit aggrieved. Couldn't you have found them secretly behind my back?

Seeing her aggrieved look, Xiao Yi ruffled her hair and transmitted his voice.

"Don't worry, I have something prepared for you separately." He was naturally referring to the Fire Seal of the Fallen Heart Flame. This girl was too lazy to cultivate, though she certainly had the confidence to back it up.

He took out two jade bottles and handed them to the two lolis. Giving them to the girls was something Xiao Yi had considered; his future plans would inevitably require a group of supporters standing behind him, and these girls were the natural first choice. In the Douluo Continent, the most useful thing wasn't profit, but love-inducing charms.

"This is the academy's special Soul Ascension Pill, capable of increasing soul power by two levels for those below the Soul Elder rank. Xiao Xiao, you can save it until you reach level 28. Yutong, the same applies to you—especially you, Yutong, do not take it early." Xiao Yi spoke with a serious tone, the height difference making him look like a father lecturing his daughters.

Soul masters grew and developed far beyond ordinary people. Xiao Yi was already over 180cm this year, and Tang Wutong was a full 170cm—after all, her parents were ridiculously tall. These two little lolis were a bit too miniature.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao habitually wanted to refuse, especially Huo Yutong, who felt she already owed Xiao Yi too much. Just as she was about to speak, Tang Wutong stopped her.

"Yutong, Xiao Xiao, just accept it. His intentions toward you two are far from pure." Tang Wutong said with a huff. Xiao Yi wasn't annoyed; it was the truth, and he had never tried to maintain a "pure love" persona. It was better to just be direct.

It was just that Tang Wutong really hadn't changed her nature; she still needed a good lesson.

Tang Wutong felt a familiar tingling sensation, bit her lower lip, and forced herself not to make any strange sounds, shooting Xiao Yi a coquettish glare.

"Then thank you, Brother Xiao Yi." Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly, her face turning red. Was this the reason? Could this be the legendary mutual attraction?

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yi." Huo Yutong also accepted it with a blushing face. She was moved, vowing to eat more so she could become the person Brother Xiao Yi liked.

She tilted her little face up, her expression full of sincerity, her Spirit Eyes, bright as the starry sky, staring straight at Xiao Yi.

Ruffling Huo Yutong's soft blue hair, Xiao Yi left alone. He had to refine medicine this time and it wasn't convenient to bring Tang Wutong along.

The three girls exchanged glances and began their daily training. Although passing the freshman assessment wouldn't be a problem, they still wanted to achieve a good score.

Especially Huo Yutong, who still had a fire burning in her heart.
