Was Bibi Dong Jealous?
Just then, a very faint but chilling snort came from the side.
Although the sound was very soft, it was exceptionally clear in the suddenly quiet valley.
Lin Xia and Dugu Yan both felt a chill and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, Pope Bibi Dong, seated amidst the nine-colored glow, continued to refine the Aromatic Silk Beauty with her eyes closed. Her aura remained calm, and her imperial aura showed no sign of disturbance.
It was as if that cold snort from just now was merely an illusion.
But Lin Xia keenly noticed that the tip of the index finger of her master's jade hand, which had been Burn by the barrier but had now recovered, trembled very slightly and almost Frisk.
An invisible aura, carrying a faint sour smell and a chilling cold, spread silently like ripples on water, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop a few degrees.
Dugu Yan instantly felt a chill originating from the depths of her soul. The shyness in her purple eyes was instantly replaced by panic, and her huge snake tail twitched uneasily.
She then realized that her impulsive actions just now seemed to have offended something terrible.
Lin Xia felt a slight chill run down her spine, and inwardly cried out that something was wrong.
Master's reaction... though outwardly calm, the silent pressure and the slight twitching of his fingertips clearly indicated... jealousy?
Or perhaps it's displeasure at the violation of one's exclusive territory?
Lin Xia quickly coughed lightly, immediately changing the subject!
"Sister Yanyan, why don't you cultivate for a while and stabilize your Soul Power and Martial Soul? Such a transformative change needs time to settle."
He pointed to a relatively flat open space not far away.
"I'll go check out the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again."
Upon hearing Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan's purple vertical pupils, capable of slightly solidifying space, turned towards Lin Xia. The confusion in her eyes faded, replaced by absolute trust and a hint of gratitude followed by obedience.
She nodded slightly, without saying a word, and her huge purple snake tail slid gracefully and silently to its designated position, where it coiled up.
She closed her chilling eyes, and pure Soul Power fluctuations and a faint purple poisonous mist began to emanate from her body as she tried to bring the mythical power within her under her control.
Lin Xia turned around, her steps slightly unsteady but her goal clear, and walked once again toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Pool, which was shrouded in red and white mist and contained endless creation.
Lin Xia could feel the ever-present, caring spiritual force behind her, which warmed her heart but also brought a touch of helplessness.
He's absorbing the Immortal Herb, and he still has time to worry about himself...
Lin Xia walked to the spring, her gaze sweeping over the exotic flowers and plants that emitted different kinds of light.
"The Immortal Herb for Xue..."
Lin Xia pondered her goal.
It wasn't because of Dugu Yan's evolution that he favored one over the other, but rather because he had never forgotten the Six-Winged Angel successor who had given him warmth and protection in the Spirit Hall, like a dear older sister.
Qian Renxue's talent is beyond doubt. She possesses the top-tier Martial Soul Six-Winged Angel, and Innate Soul Power at level twenty. She is destined to become a god in the future.
However, the effects of the Immortal Herb are not merely to increase the Soul Power Level; more importantly, it can solidify the foundation, stimulate potential, and even optimize the Martial Soul Origin!
Especially during the long years she spent infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire to undergo the Godly Trial, a powerful ally was crucial.
As for Teacher Qian Daoliu...
Lin Xia's gaze swept over the few most powerful and restrained immortal plants deep within the spring, and she shook her head slightly.
Level 99 Limit Douluo, with a demigod's body, his Soul Power has long been refined to the extreme, faintly resonating with the rules of heaven and earth.
The immense energy contained in ordinary Immortal Herb was like a drop in the ocean to him, unable to shake his vast and boundless cultivation, let alone touch the barrier between the divine and the mortal.
Promote?
Insignificant.
But Lin Xia's thoughts were pure: whether or not to give it was my intention, and whether or not to use it was his choice.
This token of my appreciation must be delivered.
Lin Xia's gaze swept among the many Immortal Herbs. His powerful spiritual strength and the keen perception of the essence of energy he gained after fusing with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's origin were like the most precise scanner.
Finally, his gaze was drawn to the spot by a magnet, Lock-On firmly on a rock shrouded in a rich, reddish-gold halo near the side of the spring closest to the Blazing Yang Spring.
There, a strangely shaped Immortal Herb grows, exuding an aura of utmost yang purity.
It is about a foot tall, and its shape is not complicated, even having a sense of returning to simplicity.
The main body is composed of several broad and Dragonite fiery red grass leaves with soft, wavy edges. The overall appearance resembles a burning flame, yet it possesses a strange "Limber and fluffy" texture, as if woven from the finest flame down.
But what's most eye-catching is the very tip of the blade of grass!
What appeared there was not a flower, but rather a lifelike, upright, cockscomb-shaped structure, as red as the purest pigeon blood gemstone, trembling slightly in the rising steam, like a beating heart, or a phoenix head poised to sing at any moment!
Lin Xia's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, focusing on the leaf through the dazzling red light.
The fiery red leaves appeared to be a single, seamless piece, yet their interiors concealed mysterious veins!
These veins are not the green or pale color of ordinary plants, but rather present a noble and incomparably precious reddish-gold color!
Like molten gold flowing and outlining within the leaf pulp, forming a natural divine pattern.
The veins within the leaf blade are faintly visible, flowing with a scorching and sacred radiance, adding an indescribable divinity to the entire Immortal Herb in addition to its domineering yang energy!
It is none other than the supreme yang treasure among immortal herbs— the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!
"That's it!"
A look of understanding and satisfaction flashed in Lin Xia's eyes.
"The shape of the rooster's comb subtly evokes auspicious omens such as 'phoenix facing the sun' and 'making a name for oneself,' symbolizing breakthrough and sublimation."
The leaves Limber and delicate, yet contain the essence of Yang, like the downy feathers that envelop the divine fire during the phoenix's rebirth. They are mild and gentle in nature, and easily absorbed.
The crimson veins... that's the most crucial part!
Its pure crimson gold color perfectly matches the holy flames and Sun True Fire attributes of the Six-Winged Angel!
Its contained miraculous energy can not only greatly enhance the purity of Qian Renxue's Angel Soul Power and the power of her flames, but also nurture and strengthen her sacred Angel Spirit from the source level. It may even be of immeasurable benefit to her future acceptance of the Angel God Trial!
Lin Xia could almost imagine that after Qian Renxue absorbed this immortal Immortal Herb, her Angel Spirit would ignite an inextinguishable Crimson-Gold Divine Flame beyond the holy golden light, its power reaching a new level!
He cautiously extended his hand, a faint icy blue halo swirling around his fingertips, isolating him from the scorching heat naturally emanating from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Although this Immortal Herb is not as Toxic as the Nether Jade Phosphorous Skull, the extreme yang energy it contains is still extremely domineering. Picking it with bare hands could result in Burn.
But under the protection of the Ice Dragon King's essence, Lin Xia's hand remained as steady as a rock as he gently grasped the seemingly Limber yet incredibly tough Red stem.
