"Of course." Lan Lingcang nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face.
He looked at the delighted Ah Yin before him and said evenly, "This was the main reason I specifically brought you here today."
"The cultivation environment at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is uniquely blessed. It is most suitable for plant-type soul beasts. Stay here without worry; it is absolutely safe."
"When the time is right, I will bring the Blue Silver Kings from the Ancestral Land and elsewhere here as well."
"They can cultivate here in peace and use the tenfold growth rate to reach the threshold of one hundred thousand years of cultivation as much as possible."
With that, Lan Lingcang turned around and walked straight toward a secluded corner.
He carefully plucked a strange immortal herb that emitted a soft white glow.
The immortal herb was snow-white throughout, crystal-clear and seemingly carved from the finest mutton-fat jade. It exuded a refreshing fragrance.
It was the top-grade immortal herb from the original story that had once completely transformed Zhu Zhuqing—Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.
Holding the immortal herb, Lan Lingcang returned to Ah Yin's side.
This herb could cleanse and condense Ah Yin's Soul Power, allowing her cultivation speed to become even faster in the future.
The only pity was that it did not have much ability to evolve a martial soul.
Moreover, Ah Yin herself was already at the Blue Silver Emperor level, the pinnacle of the Blue Silver Clan. Her bloodline potential had essentially reached its limit.
Unless it was a supreme life-type immortal herb, otherwise... no matter what kind of immortal herb she consumed, its effects would only be so-so.
And the highest-grade immortal herbs had long since been consumed by him.
Though the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was a treasure ground for spiritual and immortal herbs, it did not actually contain that many immortal-grade herbs.
Besides, the two of them came from the same origin and needed the same types of immortal herbs, leaving even fewer available.
"This?" Ah Yin looked at the pristine immortal herb Lan Lingcang offered her, curiosity flashing through her beautiful eyes.
Though she did not know the name of this glowing white flower, her instincts clearly told her from its aura that it was no ordinary thing.
"For me?" Ah Yin extended her slender jade-like hand and pointed at herself, somewhat flattered and overwhelmed.
Lan Lingcang nodded. "Take it and absorb it. Once you finish, you should be able to break through to Soul King within three months, perhaps even sooner."
She nodded, touched. Then she raised her head and looked straight at Lan Lingcang with those clear eyes, voicing the greatest question in her heart.
"Y-you... why are you so good to me?"
In Ah Yin's eyes, Lan Lingcang had not only saved her from the Tang Hao brothers and Spirit Hall's Title Douluo, but had also brought her to such a cultivation sanctuary and casually given her such a peerless immortal herb.
Such wholehearted giving left her deeply puzzled.
Lan Lingcang looked at Ah Yin's innocent expression and could not help chuckling. His tone was completely frank.
"There is no particular reason. If I had to give one, it is actually very simple."
"First, we are of the same clan. We need to help each other. From the other clansmen's assessment of you, I know that you are a good person and someone worthy of trust."
"Second, our Blue Silver Grass clan is too weak overall and unsuited for battle."
"In the entire clan, apart from me, there is not a single one who can fight. Even that eighty-thousand-year Blue Silver King in the Ancestral Land is the same. Oh, right—I have named him Lan Sen now."
"Third, you are the only one in our clan who has taken human form. The two of us can therefore charge toward the absolute peak along two separate paths."
Of course, even as he said that, Lan Lingcang knew that either path would be extremely difficult.
Even if Ah Yin cultivated to level ninety-nine, whether she could obtain a Godhood inheritance remained unknown.
There was a ninety-eight percent chance that she could not, because Ah Yin was a soul beast who had taken human form!
The Heavenly Tribulation had been established after the Dragon God's death. As for whether transformed soul beasts would be permitted to become gods, that depended on those "human gods" in the God Realm!
"Charge toward the absolute peak?" Ah Yin asked in confusion. "Reach Title Douluo?"
"No." Lan Lingcang shook his head. "Become a god!"
Lan Lingcang explained, "After taking human form, your disadvantage is that human experts can easily discover you and hunt you down for your Soul Rings and Soul Bones."
"But with me here, that disadvantage basically does not exist."
"Your advantage is that once you reach level sixty and condense your Natal Soul Ring, you will need to hunt soul beasts for their Soul Rings in order to advance your seventh, eighth, and ninth Soul Rings."
"And if possible, I hope that beginning with your seventh Soul Ring, they will all be at the one-hundred-thousand-year level, perhaps even the two-hundred-thousand-year level."
"What?!" Ah Yin was utterly shocked by Lan Lingcang's words. "How could that possibly be done? Unless... the other party sacrifices itself, but that is impossible."
Lan Lingcang chuckled. "What is impossible about it? Those Ferocious Beasts all long for immortality and godhood as well, and you can become their vessel."
"Have them sacrifice themselves to you. Then, once you become a god in the future, you can use the power of their souls within the Soul Rings and Soul Bones to revive them."
"Of course, it is still too early to accomplish that." Lan Lingcang continued. "I need to possess the strength to convince them first."
With the Demon Contract, as long as Lan Lingcang could safely endure the next few Heavenly Tribulations,
becoming a god would be relatively simple for him.
At most, he lacked a Godhood inheritance.
However, he could entirely rely on his own immense strength to create a Godhood himself.
"Enough. Absorb it first. This matter is still a little too far off for you right now."
Though Ah Yin was shocked, seeing Lan Lingcang's confident expression made her feel certain that he was not deceiving her.
After all, before she had taken human form, no such heaven-defying being had existed within the clan.
Yet after he had taken human form, a Blue Silver Emperor Sovereign with two hundred thousand years of cultivation had suddenly appeared.
This could only mean one thing: Lan Lingcang's cultivation had increased incredibly quickly!
So quickly that she could not even imagine it!
As for how he had improved it, she could not figure it out.
But she had no need to think about it, because Lan Lingcang's strength was the strength of the entire Blue Silver Clan!
While Ah Yin absorbed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Lan Lingcang turned his gaze toward the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
He tried to see through the lake's surface and make out the scene beneath it.
Of course, he knew that two god-level corpses lay at the bottom of the lake: the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!
Besides the remains, there were dragon souls, and quite possibly Dragon Cores as well.
If he could devour and absorb them, setting aside the increase in cultivation, his bloodline would certainly undergo a tremendous leap.
But unfortunately, he still did not dare provoke the remains of those two Dragon Kings.
Those two great beings had been first-class gods while alive. Even after their deaths, the power of their divine souls was likely comparable to level ninety-nine, far beyond what he could contend with now.
If he were ruthless enough, he could actually directly trigger the 300,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation and use it to destroy the two dragon souls.
But that would be meaningless.
He did not want to destroy the two dragon souls; he wanted to devour and absorb them.
For now, all he could do was proceed slowly.
