Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Aromatic Silk Beauty

"It was very likely!"

Dugu Bo stroked the small tuft of beard on his chin, deep in thought.

He did not think too much about it. Since he had accepted that his grandson had been reborn, everything else seemed normal enough. Something as inconceivable as reincarnation had already happened, so having one more strange Martial Soul seemed perfectly ordinary.

"Lin'er, does this Martial Soul of yours have any use?"

"I don't know yet."

Before his transmigration.

Dugu Lin had been a painting enthusiast and had also been obsessed with dazzling Martial Souls and soul skills.

So, he had commissioned a blank picture album with all sorts of Martial Soul designs on its cover and the words "Spirit Album" written across it, intending to personally draw the Martial Souls he liked.

Then one day, after staying up late drawing the night before, he fell asleep facedown on his office desk at work the next day. When he woke up again, he had transmigrated into Douluo Continent as a fetus.

After awakening his Martial Soul.

The paper Spirit Album that had brought him across worlds had become a metal album forged from bronze, ancient and weighty.

On the album's cover, the various Martial Soul images that had originally been printed on it had become engraved designs. The words "Spirit Album" remained on the cover as well, except they too had become engraved characters.

When he opened the cover of his Second Spirit, the Spirit Album.

What entered his sight was a smooth bronze page, 2.5 millimeters thick, with no information on it whatsoever.

He turned to the first bronze page, then the second, which was the same. The third was also a bronze page with the same 2.5-millimeter thickness.

The album only had three pages!

Dugu Lin could not help linking those "three pages only" to his low Innate Soul Power.

Of course, Innate Soul Power was not important, because he could freely eat the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Any congenital deficiency could be made up for!

In Douluo Continent, this was the bottom rung of fantasy worlds. He did not need many cultivation resources; a single Immortal Herb was enough to let a transmigrator make something of himself!

Especially since he had transmigrated into Dugu Bo's grandson. This was practically the ultimate starting hand!

His protector: Dugu Bo.

His cultivation resources: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

His talents, Twin Martial Souls: the mysterious Spirit Album and the External Spirit Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Dugu Lin was brimming with confidence about the future. He had even planned it all out last night—for example, he had resolved to become a god!

Yesterday, he had just awakened his Past Life Wisdom!

The seeds of godhood and immortality had already taken deep root in his heart!

And he would also: beat up that little bastard and kick the Shura God!

Even before transmigrating, Dugu Lin had disliked the protagonist group. They were a bunch of hypocrites and petty thugs. Now that he had the chance, he had to scheme them all to death.

And he could not let them die too comfortably.

As for the specific uses and functions of his Second Spirit, the Spirit Album, Dugu Lin had some guesses.

First!

This was Douluo Continent, so he had to follow the local customs!

Dugu Lin guessed that his Second Spirit was inseparable from the Soul Rings it acquired! It was very likely that whatever Soul Beast's Soul Ring he obtained, that Soul Beast's image would appear in the album!

Second!

Since his Second Spirit was a picture album, then he should definitely be able to draw in it himself, right?

If he could manually influence the growth of his Second Spirit, then there would be no upper limit to its growth!

Of course, all of this would have to wait until his Second Spirit absorbed its first Soul Ring before he could test its true purpose!

Dugu Bo said with a smile, "It does not matter if we don't know its exact use! We'll definitely find out later. Lin'er, Yan'er, let's head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the herb garden first!"

More than an hour later.

Dugu Bo brought Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan into the herb garden. The entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was enormous, an irregular circular valley over 1.5 kilometers in diameter. The central pool of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had a diameter of less than a hundred meters.

Dugu Lin gazed toward the pool. The aura there was far too terrifying; neither he nor Dugu Yan could withstand it yet, and they did not dare approach it at all.

"Grandpa, are those closest to the pool the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot?"

"Probably."

Dugu Bo was not certain either, since he had only learned the names of those two Immortal Herbs from Dugu Lin.

Dugu Lin's eyes burned with excitement as he said, "Grandpa, I'm still too weak to consume those two Immortal Herbs. I'll wait until I'm stronger! Once I'm stronger, I'll come back and eat them! Oh, and you cannot consume those two Immortal Herbs either, because they would destroy all of your poison cultivation!"

"Mm, Grandpa understands. Lin'er, then which Immortal Herb do you think can help your Martial Soul evolve and raise your Innate Soul Power right now?"

Dugu Lin had already decided which Immortal Herbs to eat last night.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and the Aromatic Silk Beauty!

In the future, those two Immortal Herbs would respectively be consumed by Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid had gentle medicinal properties and strengthened one's foundation while replenishing one's origin. After Oscar consumed it, it could compensate for his slow cultivation as a food-type Soul Master. The Aromatic Silk Beauty could evolve Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so it would surely allow his two tool-type Martial Souls to evolve as well!

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was the most suitable choice for making up for the weak foundation of insufficient Innate Soul Power! Then he would use the Aromatic Silk Beauty to evolve his tool-type Martial Soul, the Spirit Album!

Perfect!

What Dugu Lin wanted was for his cultivation speed to increase further after his Martial Soul evolved.

He did not seek godhood at twenty-five; he only sought to become a god before Tang San did.

For an ordinary person to become a Title Douluo, let alone a god, by the age of twenty-five was simply impossible, unless a god gave them cheats. Wasn't Tang San able to become a Title Douluo at twenty-five and directly break through to Level 100 to attain godhood within the same year because the Sea God had given him cheats?

Dugu Lin was five years older than Tang San, so he set his goal as becoming a god before thirty.

As for the claim in the original work that one person could not eat two Immortal Herbs, Dugu Lin only believed half of it.

If a Soul Master truly could not consume two Immortal Herbs, then in the original work, the medicinal effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot formed a mutually generating and mutually restraining balance within Tang San's body, which could be explained by the mutual generation of yin and yang.

Then the medicinal effect of the third Immortal Herb, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, would inevitably break that balance!

Therefore, although medicinal effects might clash, the consequences definitely were not as exaggerated as imagined.

Dugu Lin planned to first eat an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. After fully refining its medicinal effects and obtaining his first Soul Ring, he would spend some time consolidating his gains before eating the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. While forging an Ice-Fire Golden Body, he could also refine the remaining medicinal effects of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to the greatest extent possible.

Finally, he would consume the Aromatic Silk Beauty to evolve his Martial Soul: the Spirit Album.

In addition, Dugu Lin planned to consume a fifth Immortal Herb.

For the fifth one, Dugu Lin planned to wait a few years until his Soul Power reached level forty, then use the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to enhance his spiritual power, allowing him to withstand the mental impact of a Soul Beast's lingering soul when obtaining a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as his fourth ring.
