At Xiao Wu's age, how could she possibly know what a beloved was?
She only remembered what Di Tian had once said—that she was to serve by Lord Dragon God's side forever—so that was what she thought.
Then, when she spat a mouthful of blood onto the petals, the flower fell from the stone.
"That works too?"
Sea Maiden Douluo's mouth twitched slightly.
If she had known it was that simple, she would have given it a try too!
Huang Long smiled. "Since this Lovesick Heartbreak Red has acknowledged you as its master, eat it now."
"After eating it, you won't have to worry about your aura being detected by Soul Douluos or Titled Douluos."
"Okay, Lord Dragon God."
Xiao Wu nodded with a smile. Suddenly, she rose onto her tiptoes and swiftly pecked Huang Long on the cheek.
Then, like a kitten that had stolen a bite of food, she giggled and ran off to the side, finding a clean spot to sit down.
Huang Long raised a hand to touch the spot she had just kissed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Sea Maiden Douluo immediately felt sour inside, her cheeks puffing up with anger.
"That Xiao Wu is too much! I haven't even kissed the Holy Son once, yet she beat me to it!"
Sea Dragon Douluo turned to glance at her, then shook his head with both amusement and helplessness.
After giving the two of them a few instructions, Huang Long sat cross-legged and laid all the immortal herbs he had obtained before him.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Primordial Unity Immortal Herb, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
After considering it, he first picked up the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and carefully absorbed the dew from its leaves. The next second, he circulated his Soul Power and directly refined it!
The instant the dew entered his mouth, a cool energy spread through his body.
Immediately afterward, that stream of cool energy flowed upward through his throat in reverse, reaching the center of his brow.
With a buzz.
Huang Long felt his mind shudder violently as a burst of chill exploded within his head.
At that moment, he could clearly feel his spiritual power continuously strengthening.
He did not even need to open his eyes now to perceive the changes in the outside world.
The movement of the surrounding air, the sound of the spring water flowing in the distant Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the rustling of grass behind him.
These scenes played before him frame by frame like a film, with every tiny change falling within his perception.
His spiritual power had materialized, leaving his body and reaching the stage of external release.
It was as though he had gained another pair of eyes, and these "eyes" saw far more clearly than his actual ones.
As time passed, three hours went by in the blink of an eye.
Huang Long was the first to open his eyes. Feeling the changes in his spiritual power, a delighted smile appeared on his face.
He had never felt his spiritual power so abundant before. It could even leave his body, allowing him to see his surroundings without using his eyes.
The effect was simply incredible!
The moment Sea Dragon Douluo saw him open his eyes, he hurried over and asked with concern, "Holy Son, do you feel all right?"
"Very well. Better than ever!"
Huang Long smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the changes in the others.
After consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and Jade Dragon Snake Orchid, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both radiating dazzling green light.
Behind them stood the phantom shadows of two enormous jade-green serpents. However, the serpent behind Dugu Bo was larger, and the green light around it was even more brilliant.
Yet within that green light, the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation, the outline of the giant serpent faintly shifting within the radiance.
Dugu Yan's changes were far more obvious.
Her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had completely curled into a ball, wrapped in green light like an eggshell that entirely enclosed it.
When that eggshell shattered, it would be the moment her Martial Soul evolved.
After Xiao Wu consumed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, her entire body was enveloped in a layer of pure white treasure light.
Washed by that surging medicinal power, her aura continuously erupted like a volcano.
In Huang Long's perception, Xiao Wu's level had already reached at least level thirty-five!
She had advanced by at least six levels!
As long as she condensed a Soul Ring, she would become a true Soul Elder.
Sea Maiden Douluo was beside Xiao Wu at this moment, and the medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Bone was beginning to show on her body.
Her skin had become even smoother and more supple than before, as though she had suddenly returned to her teenage years.
Moreover, the medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Bone was stimulating her Soul Power, causing it to rise little by little.
Seeing that everyone was doing well, with either their Martial Souls or Soul Power undergoing transformation, Huang Long finally relaxed.
Then he lowered his head to look at the remaining four immortal herbs before him, picked up the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and swiftly refined it.
The effects of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum differed from those of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew had given him a cool, refreshing sensation.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, however, was like a ball of flame. Once its medicinal power entered his body, it swiftly transformed into a violent force that surged through his limbs and bones.
Every bone in his body crackled sharply, as though he were undergoing a complete rebirth.
Sea Dragon Douluo continued to stand silently at the side, carefully watching everyone's changes.
In the blink of an eye, another three hours passed.
As the sun slanted westward, a ray of fading sunlight poured down from above the valley, falling over everyone as if draping them in a layer of golden gauze.
Sea Maiden Douluo was the first to finish absorbing the medicinal power and awaken.
Feeling the surging Soul Power within her, she was immediately overjoyed. "Level ninety-five! I actually reached level ninety-five!"
Her excited cry also woke Xiao Wu beside her.
Xiao Wu clenched her fists and cried out excitedly, "I broke through too! I should be level thirty-nine now!"
After her words fell, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan beside her slowly opened their eyes as well.
Dugu Yan was just about to tell her grandfather that her Martial Soul had evolved, but the instant she opened her eyes, she saw Dugu Bo's head full of white hair. Her heart immediately skipped a beat.
"Grandpa... how did you become like this?"
Dugu Bo touched himself in confusion and asked, "What have I become?"
"Your hair..." Dugu Yan said in astonishment.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo raised a hand to touch his hair, then burst into laughter. "Did it turn white? White is good! White is wonderful!"
His former head of dark green hair had been caused by poisoning, which was why it had taken on that color.
Now that the Jade Dragon Snake Orchid had made up for his Martial Soul's flaw and the toxins in his body had been brought under control, his hair naturally turned white.
"Really, Grandpa? Is your illness really cured?"
"Of course!" Dugu Bo rolled his neck, feeling lighter than he had ever felt before.
It felt as if shackles he had worn for countless years had finally been cast aside today.
Huang Long also slowly opened his eyes at this moment. Hearing Dugu Bo's hearty laugh, he smiled as well.
"It seems Your Excellency's poison has been completely cured."
Dugu Bo nodded excitedly and stood up. "Kid, the herb you recommended really works! Not only can this old man control the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom in my body now, my cultivation has even improved somewhat."
As he spoke, he threw back his head and laughed heartily, then turned to look at Dugu Yan. "Yan Yan, how do you feel?"
"Me?"
Dugu Yan blinked, then released her Martial Soul.
"Roar—!"
In the next instant, a dragon's roar echoed through the space.
