Absorbing the Immortal Herb, Entering Seclusion!

The second plant was a snow-white, jade-like orchid. Its petals were layered and delicate, emitting a faint, refreshing fragrance.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was mild and mellow in its medicinal properties; it could strengthen one's foundation, repair hidden injuries, and bolster one's potential.

Dugu Ce's foundation had been damaged by the backlash of his Jade Phosphorous Serpent's venom; this immortal herb was exactly what he needed to repair the damage, and it might even help him take a step further.

The third plant was an ink-green, ganoderma-shaped herb with a dark, flowing luster on its surface. The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma could increase Soul Power and had a nourishing effect on poison-attribute martial souls, making it perfect for Dugu Bo himself.

"Senior, these three plants are prepared for you and your son."

Yu Tianlong carefully held the three immortal herbs out to Dugu Bo, introducing them one by one.

"This Blood Swan Kiss can be used in conjunction with your poison arts to amplify the effects of your toxins a thousandfold. This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid can strengthen the foundation and repair damage, making it suitable for Brother Dugu Ce. This Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma can increase Soul Power and nourish your martial soul; it is most suitable for you to consume yourself."

Dugu Bo's eyes grew brighter as he listened, and when he heard the effects of the "Blood Swan Kiss," he couldn't help but gasp.

"It can amplify the effect of toxins a thousandfold? Doesn't that mean I could kill a Title Douluo with just a casual bit of poison?"

"Theoretically, yes, but Senior must be cautious when using it. After all, an amplification of a thousand times carries certain risks to yourself as well," Yu Tianlong reminded him.

"Rest assured, this old man knows what he is doing." Dugu Bo carefully took the three herbs as if they were priceless treasures, his face full of excitement. "Good lad, you have a heart!"

After selecting the herbs for Dugu Bo and his son, Yu Tianlong began to choose for himself.

He stood beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two springs as he calculated quickly in his mind.

His situation was quite unique. He possessed two martial souls—Little Gold and Little Silver—representing the paths of strength and elements, respectively.

Furthermore, both Luo San Paos possessed the ability to evolve through consumption, so theoretically, they could absorb the medicinal power of multiple immortal herbs without worrying about conflict.

Even so, a gradual process was required; he could not simply consume them all at once.

He first walked toward the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. These two herbs were fire and ice, respectively, each containing extreme elemental energy.

He intended for Little Silver to absorb these two. Since Little Silver was the representative of elemental attributes, absorbing these two extreme elements could significantly enhance its elemental control and might even allow it to comprehend the fusion of ice and fire.

Next, he plucked the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. This herb could strengthen the bones and muscles and replenish blood and qi, making it suitable for a soul master on the path of strength.

He intended for Little Gold to absorb this herb to further enhance its physical strength and explosive power.

Then, he plucked the Aromatic Silk Beauty. This herb could neutralize all poisons; wearing it on one's person would make one immune to all toxins. He planned to keep it for himself for emergencies.

Finally, he walked to the very center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where a unique immortal herb grew.

It was a crystal-clear plant that looked as if it had been carved from crystal.

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew..." Yu Tianlong murmured, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

This herb could significantly increase a soul master's mental power and perception, and could even grant abilities like "X-ray vision" and "insight."

For someone who needed to control two Luo San Paos simultaneously, increasing his mental power meant he could better coordinate the combat synergy between Little Gold and Little Silver, which was of great significance.

He carefully plucked the herb and placed it with the others.

"That should be enough." Yu Tianlong looked at the herbs laid out before him and took a deep breath. "These are enough for me, Little Gold, and Little Silver to undergo a complete transformation."

He turned to Dugu Bo. "Senior, I intend to go into seclusion here for a period of time to absorb and refine these herbs. It may take a long time, and during this period..."

"Go ahead and seclude yourself; this old man will protect you." Dugu Bo interrupted him directly and patted his chest. "With me here, I guarantee not even a mosquito will be able to fly in."

"Thank you, Senior." Yu Tianlong nodded gratefully, then found a flat spot and sat down cross-legged.

Little Gold and Little Silver sat on his left and right, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They could feel that the energy contained within these herbs was a great tonic for them.

Yu Tianlong picked up the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and handed it to Little Gold. "Little Gold, this is for you."

Little Gold let out an excited "Luo," and swallowed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in one gulp.

Golden light erupted from its body instantly, and its form began to undergo violent changes.

Its bones crackled, its muscles expanded and contracted, its golden scales became denser and harder, and the single horn on its forehead grew a small segment at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It let out a painful grunt, but its eyes remained exceptionally firm as it struggled to digest that overbearing power.

Yu Tianlong then handed the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to Little Silver. "Little Silver, these two are for you. Eat the red one first, then the blue one. The order cannot be messed up."

Little Silver nodded obediently and swallowed the Infernal Delicate Apricot in one bite. Crimson light exploded within its body, and its form instantly turned bright red, as if it were about to burn up.

But it gritted its teeth and held on. Once the burning sensation subsided slightly, it swallowed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Ice-blue light and crimson light collided violently within its body. Little Silver's form flickered between red and blue, as if it were engaged in a war between ice and fire.

It curled up in pain, but its glass-like eyes held a hint of stubbornness, holding on tightly to prevent the power from spiraling out of control.

Yu Tianlong watched the two Luo San Paos in their agony. Although his heart ached, he knew this was a transformation they had to endure. He took a deep breath, picked up the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and placed it in his mouth.

A cool, gentle energy flowed down his throat and surged straight to the crown of his head.

His brain felt as if it had been washed by a clear stream, and the entire world became clearer than ever before. He could feel every strand of elemental energy drifting in the air, hear the sound of leaves falling in the distance, and perceive the squirming of insects underground...

His mental power was growing at an astonishing rate.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one man and two beasts were simultaneously immersed in deep absorption and refinement.

At this moment, a thousand miles away at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang was walking down the main road of the clan grounds, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"Achoo!" He suddenly let out a loud sneeze, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Who is thinking of me?"

However, he quickly put this little episode out of his mind, as he was in a very good mood.

Ever since he had absorbed a drop of blood from Yu Tianlong's golden Luo San Pao, his own Luo San Pao seemed to have become an entirely different species.
