Thousand-Year Spirit Grass, A Change! (Seeking Follow-ups)

Yu Shuyao waved a hand from the side and said with a smile, "All right, all right, let's not talk about him. Our son meant well, which was why he said that."

"But judging by his attitude, there was no way he'd listen. He'll always be lost in his own world."

"It's a good thing Changge's breakthrough wasn't exposed. Otherwise, who knows what kind of attitude Yu Xiaogang would have? He'd definitely be jealous to death," Yu Shuyao said in a low voice.

Yu Changge was still young, so perhaps he could not see what kind of mentality Yu Xiaogang had.

But as his parents, how could the two of them not see it?

If Yu Xiaogang had good relationships with others, even if his awakened martial soul was terrible and his talent was terrible, there would still be people speaking up for him. It would not have gotten to the point where the entire clan, from top to bottom, had people mocking him.

As for their son, although there were also people who mocked him, they made up only a very small portion. More often than not, others would only mention him in passing when they brought up Yu Xiaogang.

Now, Yu Changge's reputation in the clan was more along the lines of: a scholar who knew his talent was lacking and turned to studying theory instead—very self-aware!

It was the complete opposite of Yu Xiaogang's evaluation.

One could recognize himself clearly, while the other could not.

"Oh right, son. We brought back quite a lot of soul beast meat for you this time. That way, when you go to Spirit Hall, Xiao Huang will have food to eat too."

Yu Tianqing said with a cheerful smile, "It's just a bit of a pity that sub-dragons with the light attribute are ultimately too rare. Your mother and I were out for so many days, but we only hunted one, and it was a snake-type around two thousand years old."

"That age should still be too high for Xiao Huang. I estimate we can only feed it one meal a day, and not too much."

"The rest are lightning attribute, fire attribute, and some with other attributes. Let Xiao Huang eat them as snacks."

"Fortunately, soul beast meat of other attributes won't affect the bloodline concentration in Xiao Huang's body—or rather, these soul beasts are all relatively low-level right now, so they can't affect it. Otherwise, we'd really have a headache."

As Yu Tianqing spoke, he sighed.

After all, light-attribute sub-dragon soul beasts were even rarer in number than lightning-attribute ones.

Moreover, if Xiao Huang wanted to keep evolving, every soul ring had to strive to be the best. Its requirements for soul beast quality were not low, which made them even harder to find.

Yu Shuyao suddenly thought of something. She nudged Yu Tianqing, then took out a medicinal herb that radiated light attribute from herself and said with a smile, "Mom doesn't recognize this herb either. Your father and I found it when we were hunting that soul beast of over two thousand years."

"At the time, that soul beast was guarding nearby this herb, so we picked it and brought it back. Since that soul beast treasured it so much, maybe it'll be useful to Xiao Huang?"

Yu Tianqing said, "That's right. Aren't you interested in medicinal herbs? Perhaps after you go and study a bit, you'll be able to figure out what this herb does."

Yu Changge was also slightly stunned. He had not expected his parents to bring him back something like this after their trip.

The herb's roots were shaped like dragon claws, its flesh golden yellow and wrapped in fine golden dragon patterns. Its stem was straight as ivory, with nine raised dragon-scale markings on the surface. It had three pairs of leaves shaped like dragon wings, and at the center of the stamen grew a miniature dragon-shaped flower bud in a curled posture. At the tip was a speck of crimson spiritual core, lively like a dragon's eye.

As it happened, in the Break Clan's complete herb compendium, the section he had just been flipping through contained a record of it!

Dawn Dragon Moon-Illuminating Grass!

It was classified as a spiritual herb.

Yu Changge hurriedly took out that book. "Dad, Mom, look quickly. According to the records in this book, the one you brought back should be a thousand-year Dawn Dragon Moon-Illuminating Grass. After consuming it, it benefits light-attribute soul masters or soul beasts."

Yu Tianqing came to a realization. "No wonder that soul beast kept guarding nearby. Looks like it wanted to wait until the timing was ripe, then swallow this spiritual herb. Instead, we got to it first."

Yu Shuyao was somewhat worried. "You say this spiritual herb is really useful? What if there are side effects?"

Yu Changge smiled. "Mom, you don't need to worry too much. According to the records here, light-attribute soul masters or soul beasts can consume it without side effects."

"I'll call Xiao Huang out. If it's interested in this spiritual herb, then there's most likely no problem. After it consumes it, it will naturally feed the medicinal effect back to me too."

Yu Shuyao could not help but smile. "That is a good idea."

The instant Xiao Huang came out, it sniffed with its nose and soon saw the herb in its master's hand that had been tempting it all along.

"Awoo, awoo~~" Xiao Huang rubbed against Yu Changge's feet, looking as if it were acting spoiled.

"You're interested in this spiritual herb?" Yu Changge held the Dawn Dragon Moon-Illuminating Grass out in front of Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang nodded, staring at Yu Changge with its big eyes, looking full of longing.

Yu Changge looked toward his parents. Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao exchanged a glance. "Then let Xiao Huang eat it. The two of us will guard you. It was originally picked for you anyway. As long as there's no problem with the herb, that's fine."

Seeing this, Xiao Huang, under Yu Changge's signal, swallowed the spiritual herb.

Very soon, a burst of golden light shone from Xiao Huang's body, while Yu Tianqing swept his large hand out and set a transparent soul-power barrier over Xiao Huang and Yu Changge to prevent their auras from leaking out.

During the process of absorbing the spiritual herb, Xiao Huang would feed back to Yu Changge in real time, so Yu Changge also sat down cross-legged, circulated his meditation technique, and began absorbing that energy.

Two hours later.

The person and beast opened their eyes at the same time.

However, immediately afterward, Yu Changge caught a whiff of an extremely unpleasant smell.

"Whoa, what smell is that? It's so strong."

He turned his head and saw that a layer of black grime had actually seeped out of Xiao Huang's body, and even he himself had a bit on him.

Yu Tianqing coughed twice. "You two go rinse off first. We'll talk about the effects afterward."

After removing the soul-power barrier, even Yu Tianqing and his wife found it a little unbearable.

How to describe the stench?

One could say that compared to this, even the smell of sweat counted as fragrant.

A moment later.

First were the changes in Xiao Huang. The color of its body had turned a little more golden, the dragon-scale patterns on it had deepened, and the light attribute within it had also become much richer.

"Dad, after absorbing this spiritual herb, my soul power increased by more than one level. I'm already at level sixteen now. And I feel like my whole mind has become a lot clearer. My perception of the light elements around me—or rather, my affinity with them—has also strengthened a lot."

That was an unexpected delight. This spiritual herb actually had the effect of enhancing spiritual power too.

He clearly noticed that the humanlike quality in Xiao Huang's eyes had become even more pronounced.

Clearly, the increase in spiritual power was also beneficial to Xiao Huang!
