Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor, Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flower

Dugu Yan's process of refining the Earth Dragon Golden Melon was very slow. It was not until noon on the third day that she finally finished.

Dugu Bo impatiently asked, "Yan'er, have you undergone any other changes?"

Dugu Yan revealed a sweet smile and called out, "Come out, Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor!"

Hisss~~

The next instant, the phantom of an enormous Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor appeared behind Dugu Yan! It had two horns on its head, and its color was no longer a pure jade green. Strands of earthy yellow golden light surfaced across its body, while it radiated a heavy dragon's might.

A fluctuation of earth-attributed dragon's might!

"Those are dragon horns?"

Seeing this extraordinary Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor, Dugu Bo was startled, his face filled with delight.

"Hahaha~~ Grandpa, the horns on my Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor aren't real dragon horns. They're just... um... like mutated scales that have taken on the shape of horns! Also, even when I use Martial Soul Possession now, there won't be any lingering toxins. Grandpa, the flaw in my Martial Soul has been completely resolved!"

Dugu Yan, who had only just turned eight, wore a smug expression.

"That's good, that's good!" Dugu Bo was greatly gratified and praised her, "I can sense that your Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor is even stronger than mine. Perhaps one day, it might even transform into a flood dragon!"

Dugu Bo did not dare imagine it transforming into a true dragon. The limit of his imagination was a flood dragon.

"Really? Hehe~~ My Martial Soul is actually stronger than Grandpa's! Oh, right, Little Lin, did you feel anything?" Dugu Yan continued smiling smugly.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Little Lin, flicked its tongue and shook its head.

Seeing this, Dugu Lin smiled. "All right, Sis. Let Little Lin go back and rest."

"Mm, goodbye, Little Lin."

Dugu Bo stroked his beard and said, "Lin'er, take your sister inside to rest for two days. Grandpa is going to consume that Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flower too. This Immortal Herb is a poisonous plant, so stay farther away."

"Mm, Grandpa, be careful."

"Don't worry."

After his two grandchildren left, Dugu Bo entered the patch of Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flowers alone. Before long, he spotted the immortal-grade herb at its very center!

"Eh? There are actually another six Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flowers that have reached the quality of premium spiritual medicines. These can be refined into pills for Yan'er and Lin'er."

At that moment, Dugu Bo had already decided that once the pills were refined, he would turn those six premium spiritual medicine-grade Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flowers into pills for his two precious grandchildren.

After harvesting the Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flower with a sharp jade tool, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the spot.

Once Dugu Bo absorbed the pistil of the Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flower, the entire immortal-grade herb was corroded by poison at a visible rate and turned into dust! Dugu Bo waved away the nonexistent powder in his hand, closed his eyes, and began merging the toxins within his body.

In the blink of an eye, two full days passed.

Boom~

Suddenly, a terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power erupted from within the Jade Phosphor Seven-Extinction Flower patch. Beside the thatched cottage, Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan both looked toward the source of the fluctuation.

"Sis, it seems Grandpa succeeded. His Soul Power fluctuation has become stronger!"

"You're right, little brother. That's what I think too," Dugu Yan said proudly.

Whoosh!

The next instant, Dugu Bo suddenly appeared before them and said with a cheerful smile, "Lin'er, Yan'er, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Grandpa, what level is your Soul Power now?"

"Level 93!"

"Only level 93?"

Dugu Lin frowned. "According to my estimate, you should have reached at least level 94! Grandpa, the ailments that plagued you for years have disappeared, and you also consumed an immortal-grade herb that suited the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor especially well. You should be at level 94 no matter what!"

"Hahaha~~ After all, Grandpa only broke through to Titled Douluo a little over half a year ago. I'm already very satisfied with level 93 Soul Power. As for level 94... I feel that I'll break through within half a year!"

Dugu Lin nodded. "All right, then next we'll wait for Sis to refine some more Whale Rubber, then we'll go hunt Soul Rings together."

As Dugu Lin spoke, he secretly considered whether Dugu Bo's future combat strength could stand up to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed, Sword Douluo broke through to level 97 after losing an arm. With Ning Fengzhi's support, his combat strength nearly reached level 98. Once Dugu Bo reached level 94 Soul Power, he would have a high chance of breaking through to level 95 after accumulating experience for a few years! Afterward, if he consumed a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to rebuild his body, his Soul Power would definitely break through to level 96, perhaps even level 97. Then, with a Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss to enhance his poison, he would have nothing to fear from a level 97 Sword Douluo!

Three days later.

Dugu Bo returned to Heaven Dou City and paid another visit to Prince Xue Xing's residence, where he finalized the engagement ceremony and date for Dugu Yan and Xue Qinghe.

A few more days passed.

Dugu Yan had consumed a piece of forty-thousand-year Whale Rubber in portions. Together with the dozens of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Whale Rubbers she had previously consumed, her physical strength could fully withstand a Soul Ring of around 6,000 years. Factoring in the enhancement to her body from that 30,000-year Human-Faced Demon Spider Right Arm Bone, even absorbing a Soul Ring over 6,500 years old would not be impossible.

The more Whale Rubber one consumed, the more sharply its effects dropped off. The effects of the ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber she consumed later had already plummeted off a cliff. If she wanted to continue improving her physical strength with Whale Rubber, she could only use Whale Rubber of a higher age. With an unlimited supply of Whale Rubber, Dugu Yan's physical strength had increased by just over 5,000 years in total. Unless she had top-grade Whale Rubber like a hundred-thousand-year one, ordinary Whale Rubber would no longer have any effect on her.

"Grandpa, have you decided what kind of Soul Rings to find for us?"

"The same place where we found the Red-tailed Triangle Snakes last time. There's a mutated Red-tailed Triangle Snake there. We'll first go check its exact age!"

With that, Dugu Bo took his grandson and granddaughter into the air. An hour later, the three arrived at that marshland.

After the previous accident, Dugu Bo carefully checked the surrounding area for safety this time and set up a poison formation around them before instructing, "Stay here and wait for Grandpa to return."

"Mm."

The two nodded obediently.

Boom~

Before long, a powerful Soul Power fluctuation erupted in the distance. Soon afterward, they saw streams of green mist drifting through the distant sky. That was Dugu Bo's poisonous mist.

Half an hour later.

Dugu Bo returned with a mutated Red-tailed Triangle Snake over eight meters long, its entire body crimson red.

"Lin'er, kill it quickly. I don't know this mutated Snake King's exact age either, but it should be below ten thousand years."

"Okay!"

Dugu Lin was both excited and uneasy. He desperately wanted to gain an attribute-enhancing Soul Skill, but such matters depended entirely on luck!

He was willing to gamble on a mutated Red-tailed Triangle Snake!

Even if he lost the gamble, he would still gain a powerful poison-attributed Soul Skill, enough to give him some combat strength before he fully matured.

In short, whether he got a poison-attributed Soul Skill or an enhancement-type Soul Skill, he would not lose out!
