Dugu Bo had not even reacted before a halo enveloped him.

In an instant, every trace of poison in his body was refined away. On top of that, all his other negative conditions were cleansed as well.

At last, refreshed and renewed, Dugu Bo broke through his bottleneck and reached level 92.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye." Dugu Bo looked at Bai Ye with overwhelming excitement, utterly convinced. "Not only did you cure my poison, you also helped me rise to another level and break through to level 92."

For a Titled Douluo, every level gained meant a tremendous increase in strength.

Only at this moment did he truly become willing, from the bottom of his heart, to serve Bai Ye as his master.

"Congratulations, Uncle Poison." Bai Ye grinned, thoroughly satisfied.

The stronger Dugu Bo became, the more confident they would be when facing Tang Hao later.

"Congratulations, Old Poison." Yue Guan and Gui Mei spoke in unison. They had not expected him to gain such enormous benefits, and they could also see that his loyalty to Bai Ye was now completely genuine.

There was no longer any chance of him harboring thoughts of betraying or murdering his master.

"Uncle Poison, there's no rush to cure your granddaughter's poison. I still need to travel and train, so if you can't wait, you can bring her over," Bai Ye said, having changed his mind.

Because barring surprises, Tang San would join Shrek and, under Yu Xiaogang's arrangements, fight Dugu Yan and the others in spirit battles. Since he intended to go to Shrek, there was no need to make a special trip to cure her poison so urgently.

"No rush, no rush." Dugu Bo smiled. He knew his granddaughter's condition well, so there was no hurry at all. Now that he had received such great benefits, he ought to serve Bai Ye with all his strength.

Bai Ye nodded slightly, then took out two immortal herbs and handed them to Yue Guan.

"These are?" Yue Guan was stunned.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum," Bai Ye said with a smile. Earlier, they had each been responsible for a different area, and Bai Ye had happened to collect these two.

Of course, there were other immortal herbs as well.

The three Titled Douluo had also handed over everything they collected. None of them had kept anything for themselves.

They were not fools. It was not that immortal herbs were useless, but that Bai Ye was more valuable.

Compared to improving their own strength, helping Bai Ye level up was the highest priority.

"These are for me?"

"Yes."

Bai Ye nodded. Yue Guan was deeply moved; he understood the value of immortal herbs all too well.

Both the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Lovesick Heartbreak Red could enhance Bai Ye.

Moreover, Lovesick Heartbreak Red was the finest among immortal herbs, something he had pursued all his life.

In that instant, he felt that all his efforts during this time had been worthwhile.

"Xiao Ye, then I..." Yue Guan was overwhelmed with emotion. Even Gui Mei had never seen Chrysanthemum Douluo like this before.

The flower was no ordinary plant and would choose its own master. To pick it, one had to constantly think of the lover in one's heart and spit blood onto its petals. If one was half-hearted, one could cough blood to death without being able to pluck it.

Yue Guan naturally knew that he did not meet those conditions, but he still wanted to try.

The result was that he nearly coughed up half his life in blood, yet failed to pluck it.

Am I destined never to become your master? Yue Guan felt desolate. The chance to rise to another level was right before him, yet he could not seize it.

Bai Ye was surprised by this as well.

He remembered that in the original story, Yue Guan had been thrilled upon seeing Lovesick Heartbreak Red and had wanted to become its master. But Xiao Wu had already been its master then, and even Titled Douluo could not destroy Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"I have no affinity with it." After a long while, Yue Guan finally calmed himself and explained the matter to Dugu Bo and Gui Mei.

The two immediately burst into laughter.

Yue Guan was angry, but there was nothing he could do. Reality was simply that cruel.

As for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, he did not use it and returned it to Bai Ye.

"Old Poison, Old Ghost, what are you laughing at? If you have the guts, make it acknowledge you as its master."

"Hehehe, I know my own limits. Besides, there's no beloved lover for me in this world," Gui Mei said with a laugh.

Dugu Bo restrained his smile and wanted to give it a try. After all, he even had a granddaughter.

"Fine, let me give it a try." Though he said that, he first looked to Bai Ye for permission.

"You can." Bai Ye knew he could do nothing about it himself. It would be best if someone could subdue it. If not, he could keep it to give to someone destined for it in the future, or try again after he found a beloved lover of his own.

After receiving Bai Ye's approval, Dugu Bo began his attempt. Yet, like Yue Guan, he failed.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Old Poison, you can't do it either." Yue Guan was the first to mock him.

Dugu Bo was not angered. He had only been trying it out. His beloved had long passed away, and he devoted all his energy to his granddaughter and poison.

"What a pity." Bai Ye sighed, put it away, then brought out all the medicinal herbs from this area.

Yue Guan identified them one by one and ultimately selected three immortal herbs for Bai Ye.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Orchid, and Aromatic Silk Beauty.

After adding Purification to himself, Bai Ye began absorbing the immortal herbs one by one.

The three Titled Douluo took on the duty of guarding him.

Five hours later, Bai Ye opened his eyes, looking utterly invigorated.

His gains were immense. His Soul Power had soared directly to level 40!

And that was only because he lacked a fourth Soul Ring. Otherwise, his improvement would not have stopped there.

What delighted him even more was that the enhancement from his first Soul Skill had increased from 160 percent to 180 percent for all attributes!

A massive improvement!

"Xiao Ye, how was it?" Yue Guan asked immediately.

"Amazing." Bai Ye spoke, then explained his gains. When they heard that his first Soul Skill could enhance all attributes by 180 percent for half an hour, even the three Titled Douluo, who had seen all manner of great events, froze in place.

Furthermore, Bai Ye said that once he absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and reached level 41 Soul Ancestor, the enhancement would become even stronger.

At that point, he could cast his Soul Skill on Titled Douluo twice.

"Hiss!" The Titled Douluo drew sharp breaths.

Before this Apocalypse Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was nothing but crap!

Dugu Bo was immensely thankful that he had not persisted in opposing him before. Having such a genius support Soul Master as his master was an honor.

The next moment, the three Titled Douluo exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

Everything was understood without words.

"Xiao Ye, shall we help you hunt a Soul Beast now?" Yue Guan asked.

"No rush." Bai Ye shook his head and had Yue Guan select several more immortal herbs and powerful supplements beneficial even to Titled Douluo.

Bai Ye had everyone absorb them.

The three Titled Douluo did not stand on ceremony. However, they did not do so together, but one at a time, in order to prevent any accidents.

Time passed, and by noon the next day, the three Titled Douluo had advanced further in strength.

Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo had even broken through to level 96!

Afterward, they helped Bai Ye hunt a Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Bai Ye absorbed it successfully, breaking through to Soul Ancestor in one stroke and obtaining his fourth Soul Skill.

The immortal herbs began displaying their effects, pushing his Soul Power to level 44!

"My fourth Soul Skill is called Rapid Healing."

"Its effect is to heal injuries and restore Soul Power."

At first glance, it seemed utterly ordinary. Yet the three Titled Douluo all knew things could not be so simple.

Sure enough, Bai Ye's next words were shocking.

"As long as the target still has a breath left, my fourth Soul Skill can restore them to full health."

"For example, if I cast my fourth Soul Skill on that Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast you just beat until it lost the ability to resist, its injuries would instantly recover, and its Soul Power would be fully restored as well."

"What?!" The Titled Douluo were stunned. They knew all too well what this meant.

As long as Bai Ye was present, so long as they were not killed instantly, they could recover to full health. That was even more absurd than being impossible to kill.

Yet something even more absurd came in the next sentence.

"Also, like my first three Soul Skills, my fourth Soul Skill is a group Soul Skill."
