Trust of the Immortal Herbs, Reaching Level Fifty!

"Trade for Battle Armor..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled faintly. He did not respond to Yan Shaozhe, and it was precisely this attitude that left Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi uncertain. As the central figure, Mu Yunye did not state his position either.

There was simply no need. Although he did not intend to keep Battle Armor technology completely secret in this era, handing it over in some casual transaction would be utterly ridiculous.

"Farewell."

As they watched Mu Yunye and the others leave, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe remained just as grave. Yan Shaozhe looked toward Xuan Zi beside him. "Elder Xuan..."

"The Battle Armor Wuhun City possesses has surpassed our current understanding of soul tools. It is absolutely no ordinary soul tool. If we could obtain this technology..."

How could Xuan Zi not understand what Yan Shaozhe meant? Yet even with Shrek's foundations, they did not dare casually test Wuhun City's limits. After all, its strength... was truly unfathomable.

"Let's go. We'll return to the Sea God Pavilion first and tell Elder Mu and the others about the Battle Armor before making further plans. Wuhun City's existence is a fact we have no choice but to acknowledge."

Xuan Zi sighed.

Outside Xingluo City.

"I say those Xingluo City bastards are nothing but a bunch of cowards. If Bibi Dong or the Grand Worshipper had made a move, wouldn't they have scared them pissless?"

Demon Subduing Douluo sneered disdainfully. Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Thousand Jun Douluo all wore mocking smiles, while Golden Crocodile Douluo seemed to be pondering something.

"Holy Son."

He looked toward Mu Yunye and said solemnly, "Although the Star Luo Empire has suffered this loss, what should we do if Wuhun City wants to expand its territory later on?"

"Isn't everything Wuhun City has done now, including aiding nearby small cities and impoverished villages, for precisely this purpose? The common people see clearly enough. Naturally, they know whom they should follow."

Mu Yunye chuckled. How could he not have considered that? There was no need to worry too much about it. In this era, Wuhun City would ultimately become the most powerful force.

And establish the strongest... Douluo Dynasty!

Wuhun City.

After returning to Wuhun City, Mu Yunye did not go with Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others to report to Qian Daoliu. Instead, he chatted and laughed with Skydream Ice Silkworm as they returned to the Spirit Field. From far away, he sensed the aura of Autumn-Water Dew.

"Judging by its aura... it probably won't be long before it reaches one hundred and twenty thousand years of cultivation, right?"

Skydream Ice Silkworm spoke with great envy.

"If I weren't an animal soul beast, I'd cultivate here too..."

"..."

Mu Yunye was speechless.

After seeing Mu Yunye return, Autumn-Water Dew took the initiative to speak. "Mu Yunye, let's return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Senior, are you willing to help me now?"

Joy surged through Mu Yunye's heart, plain for all to see. He did not hide anything; from the very beginning, he had told Autumn-Water Dew of his purpose, so it showed no emotional reaction.

"I have seen your sincerity, and I have clearly realized that this place is indeed better suited to their growth than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I am willing to help you, but how many Immortal Herbs are willing to come will depend on them."

Autumn-Water Dew spoke solemnly.

"Of course."

Mu Yunye immediately nodded in agreement. Then, he called Yue Guan and Porcupine Douluo over, bringing Autumn-Water Dew back to Sunset Forest. Under Autumn-Water Dew's persuasion...

Some of the Immortal Herbs were quite willing to trust Autumn-Water Dew. Among them, Youyou also wanted to go, but it still bore the duty of testing others, so it decided to remain temporarily at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After all, not every Immortal Herb was willing to leave.

If someone managed to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well during this time, Youyou still wished to fulfill its duty and grant them an Immortal Herb as a reward...

"So this is... the Spirit Field you spoke of?!"

When Blazing Apricot Delicate, Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, and the other Immortal Herbs arrived at the Spirit Field in Wuhun City, they immediately sensed the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The explosive rise in their cultivation left every one of them exhilarated.

"That is... Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"

Mu Yunye noticed an exceptionally special Immortal Herb. It was Black Jade Divine Bamboo, which currently had only sixty thousand years of cultivation. Without saying a word, it rooted itself at the edge of the Spirit Field and frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"It seems the Spirit Field suits Black Jade Divine Bamboo's growing conditions as well, not just the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Mu Yunye let out a breath of relief.

"Mu Yunye, can you truly let us cultivate here in peace?"

Blazing Apricot Delicate asked.

"Of course. Without my permission, no one will come here to disturb you. However, you must also cultivate some new Immortal Herbs of your own kind for me. That can be considered our cooperation."

Mu Yunye nodded in response. This condition was not excessive, so the many Immortal Herbs had no objections.

Then, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[The host has brought Immortal Herbs growing at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well back to Wuhun City for cultivation. Task complete. Reward: increased rare metal resources, one Elite Soul Engineer Corps, Icefire Dragon King Bloodline body tempering!]

"Finally completed..."

Mu Yunye breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had not brought back every Immortal Herb, the number he had brought clearly met the system's task requirements. That was enough.

Afterward, Mu Yunye bid farewell to the Immortal Herbs and went to his secluded cultivation chamber. He took out the three Immortal Herbs he intended to absorb: one to increase spiritual power, one to strengthen the body, and one to enhance elemental affinity.

They could be said to be the three Immortal Herbs best suited for him!

"Although none of them directly increase soul power, improving my foundation is just as important!"

"Once I absorb them, I should be able to enter the Soul King realm."

Mu Yunye took a deep breath. At that moment, he began circulating his soul power and absorbed the three Immortal Herbs before him one by one. There were no setbacks in the process; his physique seemed exceptionally compatible with all three Immortal Herbs.

Boom—!

The Elemental Sword erupted with blazing elemental fluctuations. Looking closely, Mu Yunye's pupils were also continuously evolving, revealing the Double Pupil's unique runes for analyzing heaven and earth.

His soul power surged to level fifty at that moment. With only one more soul ring, he would be able to enter the Soul King realm. He spent a full week adapting to this newfound strength.

During the week Mu Yunye spent in seclusion.

Qian Renxue also came to his secluded cultivation chamber. She seemed worried about Mu Yunye's condition, and just as she was furrowing her brow in concern, she saw him slowly walk out from the cultivation chamber.

"Yunye! You... broke through?"

Qian Renxue immediately sensed the surging soul power within Mu Yunye. He had actually entered the Soul King realm directly?!
