The Second Objective, Complementary Treasures

Their hands clasped together.

In the depths of the void, the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul, which had been chirping incessantly in urgency, finally found peace within the phoenix eyes of Leng Yaozhu.

A unique sense of affinity blossomed between their palms, akin to the balance between life and destruction.

Heavenly Phoenix Douluo found herself enjoying this contact on the level of their Martial Souls.

She even wondered if it were possible for her to form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the purple-haired youth before her.

Ever since they met, she had discovered that her Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul reacted to his Amethyst Dragon Martial Soul exactly as the textbooks described: Martial Soul resonance and compatibility.

But the thought flashed through her mind and vanished, leaving no trace.

Due to the suppression of the plane, once any Soul Master reached the limit, the concept of Martial Soul Fusion Skills ceased to exist.

On this point, one could refer to the legendary duo of Spirit Ice Douluo and Winter Butterfly Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda archives.

After receiving the imparted power from the Dragon Emperor Douluo and Death God Douluo, both had reached the cultivation of Super Douluo. Even with a one-hundred-percent compatibility rate between their Martial Souls, they were unable to perform a Martial Soul Fusion under the restrictions of the plane.

Even setting aside the restrictions of the plane, in terms of personal feelings, Leng Yaozhu would never cultivate a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with any man, unless that man was Yun Ming.

Naturally, in contrast to the turbulent psychological changes of Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, Long Zijin appeared exceptionally calm, his eyes even revealing a trace of sorrow: Phoenix...

"We are friends now, may I call you Yaozhu?"

This sentence startled Leng Yaozhu, who had been immersed in the changes of her Martial Soul.

"This..."

Being addressed by her given name by such a young child was something she would usually reject outright; after all, her status as the Vice Tower Master was at stake.

But looking up at the quasi-god level golden-haired man, and then at this super genius of ultimate power before her, both of whom were about to fall under her command...

Leng Yaozhu hardened her heart, nodded gently, and agreed: "You may, Zijin."

She struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Then, may this sister ask, where exactly do you come from?"

She had been asking the Holy Dragon King this question the entire time, yet she had never received a single response.

"Dragon..." Long Zijin wanted to say Dragon Tomb, but felt it was inappropriate.

So, he stated the location of the Dragon Tomb: "Star Luo Continent."

"Star Luo Continent?" Leng Yaozhu pondered for a moment.

She immediately thought of the successor of the Mountain Dragon who had recently risen to fame among the young Soul Masters of Star Luo like the sun in the sky: the Fourth Prince—Long Yue.

Thus, she widened her eyes and said: "Are you from the Star Luo Imperial Family?"

But Long Zijin shook his head, musing slightly: "No, um... I cannot tell you that for now."

"Hoo~" Although slightly discouraged, Leng Yaozhu maintained her smile: "It is fine, everyone has their own secrets. My apologies for being intrusive."

"I will have your identification badges made as soon as possible and arrange accommodations for the two of you. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

At this point, Long Zijin finally stated the other purpose of his visit to Shrek City, aside from searching for his second Soul (God) Spirit: "I would like to trouble you to find a precious herb."

"Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng."

That was right; searching for the second God Spirit was merely the grand goal of this trip to Shrek City.

The urgent priority was to obtain a precious herb-grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to forge his Third God Ring.

As everyone knows, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red has three major characteristics: reversing life and death, questioning true love, and being invincible and immortal.

After transforming into a Martial Soul, these three points could be used to forge rings, turning them into three God-level Soul Skills.

Among them:

The drop of black blood deep within the flower core could be transformed into the world's number one support-type Soul Skill that reverses life and death;

The spiritual illusion contained within the Crow-Absolute Stone could be transformed into the world's number one control-type Soul Skill that strikes directly at the heart;

The characteristic of being as immortal as heaven and earth after the flower blooms could be transformed into the world's number one defense-type Soul Skill.

The first God Ring was forged after signing a Soul Spirit contract with the Goddess of Love, using her help to shape the life attribute of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red into the first God Skill.

The second God Ring was forged after obtaining another Lovesick Heartbreak Red at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and having the Goddess of Love retrieve a wisp of obsession from before her divine fall, thereby shaping the second God Skill of the spiritual attribute.

The third God Ring...

Now, Long Zijin was approaching the 30th level of Soul Power, but without another hundred-thousand-year Lovesick Heartbreak Red to assist him, he could not shape the ability of "being as immortal as heaven and earth" into his Third God Ring and Third God Skill.

However, the mere problem of "a clever housewife struggling to cook without rice" could not stump the Dragon Emperor, who possessed world-shaking wisdom.

He had found the method to break this deadlock in the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Hundred Treasures Record and the Biography of the Seven Gods.

—Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

A gem-type dragon-attribute precious herb, it was extremely compatible with the Amethyst Dragon Martial Soul.

Most importantly: according to records, a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng that reached the seventh to ninth grade could complement the twelve-grade Lovesick Heartbreak Red, with the two mutually reinforcing each other.

Therefore, Long Zijin only needed to find a precious herb-grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to replicate the steps Tang San once took to help Xiao Wu cultivate her Diamond Indestructible Body.

When that time comes, he will not only be able to forge his Third God Ring and obtain his Third God Skill.

He will also be able to elevate his Flower Immortal Body from a Second-Level God's Legacy to a First-Level God's Legacy, reaching the same tier as the Thunderous Hell-Prison Vine.

According to the plan Long Zijin had while he was still in the Dragon Tomb.

He had originally intended for the Sun Lineage of the Xu Family to have the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng fully prepared before they guided his Dragon Soul for the divine descent.

This would allow him to complete his Flower Immortal Body the moment his reincarnation succeeded, reaching the perfect level of a "First-Level God Grade."

But things did not go as planned.

The Sun Lineage was held back by the White Tiger Lineage, leaving them unable to stretch their limbs or conduct a large-scale search.

Therefore, Long Zijin had no choice but to join the Spirit Pagoda, pinning his hopes on the more influential Heavenly Phoenix Douluo to acquire this urgent necessity.

The above represents two of the three main purposes for his visit to Shrek City.

"Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng? And it must be of the seventh to ninth grade..."

Leng Yaozhu found herself in a difficult position for a moment.

She could not help but ask, "Is it needed very urgently?"

Long Zijin replied, "That is correct. My constitution still has flaws, and I need at least one Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to make up for them."

Leng Yaozhu nodded and said, "I will do my best to find it as soon as possible, but whether I can actually find it... I can only say it depends on fate and coincidence."

"Because this kind of precious medicine has only been recorded once in the history books of our continent, and it originated from an external force: the Tang Sect's Min Hall. Moreover, that was twenty thousand years ago."

Long Zijin nodded to show his understanding and gave her a reassurance: regardless of whether the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was found, both he and Old Di were already members of the Spirit Pagoda.

"If there is nothing else, I will take you two to the high-level residential area first," Leng Yaozhu said as she stood up.

"No, no." Long Zijin shook his head instead. "Could you take me to a forging room first? I will need to borrow one for a long time to come."

"No problem, please follow me." Leng Yaozhu led the two out of the reception room.
