The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill: Ten Levels in One Leap, a Level Sixty-Five Soul Emperor!

Having made up his mind, Ji Yang glanced at Dugu Yan, then turned to Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, have your Life Sunflower King Soul Spirit detoxify Dugu Yan and get her body into good condition first. That will also help with her upcoming Martial Soul Evolution."

"As for me, I'll use the immortal herbs to improve my martial soul first, so I can refine more powerful pills."

Ji Yang said.

"Okay!"

Ye Lingling naturally had no objections.

Dugu Yan had even less reason to object.

On the contrary, she was rather excited.

After my grandfather, is it finally my turn?

"Lingling, I'm putting my body in your hands, then. Your Life Sunflower King doesn't need to breathe fire to heal me, does he?"

Brimming with delight, Dugu Yan suddenly began teasing Ye Lingling.

"Of course not! My Life Sunflower King isn't fire-attributed!"

Ye Lingling was both amused and exasperated.

"Hehe, that's good!"

Dugu Yan giggled.

Still, after hearing Ye Lingling say that, she suddenly felt much more reassured.

Even though those healing flames did no damage, the Phoenix Sacred Fire of the Radiant Sun Sacred Phoenix Soul Spirit had made such a vivid impression earlier that she was still a little scared.

"Yan Yan, just relax!"

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Dugu Yan.

With that, she pulled Dugu Yan aside, ready to have her Life Sunflower King Soul Spirit purify her and remove her poison.

Which immortal herb should I start with?

While Ye Lingling prepared to detoxify Dugu Yan, Ji Yang had already walked toward the immortal herbs growing all around.

When it came to immortal herbs that improved cultivation talent, the best-known were probably these few.

They were the eight-petal immortal orchid, singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, and narcissus jade muscle bone.

All of them had effects akin to widening the meridians and strengthening one's foundations and vitality, thereby increasing a Soul Master's cultivation speed.

In addition, performing Ice and Fire Body Tempering with the two immortal herbs, octagonal mysterious ice grass and infernal delicate apricot, could also provide some improvement in cultivation.

I'll choose the eight-petal immortal orchid. It has the best effect on cultivation speed and can greatly improve my cultivation talent.

After that, I'll choose either infernal delicate apricot or cockscomb phoenix sunflower, which share my attribute, and see whether they can enhance the fire attribute of my Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul or bring about a corresponding change.

Ji Yang quickly made his decision.

The eight-petal immortal orchid and one fire-attributed immortal herb would essentially be enough for him. Using more would only be wasteful.

It was just that pills like the Mystic Water Pill, which could improve innate soul power, probably did not exist yet during the Douluo I era. Otherwise, he could have obtained a few Mystic Water Pills and directly raised his innate soul power to its maximum without going to all this trouble.

As for Ice and Fire Body Tempering, Ji Yang did not think he particularly needed it.

With his ultimate fire attribute, he already had no fear of being countered by ice or fire attributes. Moreover, he had his own purification Soul Skill and feared none of the hundred poisons.

Ye Lingling, on the other hand, could undergo it if she needed to.

But strictly speaking, Ye Lingling's martial soul was neither a control-type nor a power-attack-type martial soul, so Ice and Fire Body Tempering would not actually do much for her either.

Having made his decision, Ji Yang immediately released the flames within the Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace, sweeping the eight-petal immortal orchid into it first.

With the Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul, neither the harvesting methods nor the consumption methods of immortal herbs posed any restrictions for him. He could harvest and use them however he pleased.

Otherwise, he would at least have needed to obtain a book introducing immortal herbs from Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan of Spirit Hall first.

Buzzz-

The Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul quickly finished refining the eight-petal immortal orchid.

A crystalline, snow-white pill then emerged from the Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul and landed in Ji Yang's hand.

"Is that a pill refined from an immortal herb?"

Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming, who had watched the entire process from the side, were curious.

Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion widened her large eyes.

"Yes. This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill can improve cultivation talent. After I take it, my cultivation speed will increase considerably, bringing me much closer to your innate full soul power talent."

Ji Yang nodded and gave a brief explanation.

"I'll absorb it first, then refine other immortal herb pills to help you all improve!"

After hurriedly leaving them with those words, Ji Yang swallowed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill in his hand and began absorbing it.

As the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill entered his stomach and he rapidly absorbed it, Ji Yang could feel an incomparably pure medicinal power surge from the pill and flow toward the meridians throughout his body.

Under the miraculous effects of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill, Ji Yang could clearly sense the impurities in his body being steadily expelled, while his meridians widened and his foundations grew firmer.

Of course, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill was also continually raising his soul power cultivation.

After roughly two hours, the medicinal power of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill was completely exhausted.

Perhaps because it had been refined into a pill that was easier to absorb, Ji Yang had taken only half the time he would have needed to absorb the eight-petal immortal orchid itself.

Ji Yang opened his eyes, his expression filled with satisfaction and joy.

It could be said that the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill had brought him a transformation almost like shedding his old body and being reborn.

From now on, cultivation talent would no longer be a problem troubling him.

If he had possessed his current cultivation talent before, then with the same resources, his soul power level would probably have reached at least that of a level sixty-five Soul Emperor by now.

Fortunately, it was not too late to mend the pen after losing a sheep.

Under the enhancement of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill, his soul power level had leaped five levels in succession, reaching the level sixty Quasi-Soul Emperor stage.

When the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon Soul Spirit supplied the third Soul Ring it could provide him, he gained his Sixth Soul Ring and smoothly broke through to level sixty-five.

Of course, those last five levels of soul power had resulted from the combined effects of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid Pill's remaining potency, the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon Soul Spirit, and the Soul Power Pills he had previously absorbed.

Otherwise, he would have reached only around level sixty-two or sixty-three at most.

From a level fifty-five Soul King to a level sixty-five Soul Emperor, Ji Yang had leaped ten levels in one go.

That was simply enough progress to scare someone to death.

"Xiao Yang, it looks like you've improved a lot!"

Xiao Wu sniffed lightly, happy for Ji Yang.

Although she could not clearly discern the exact changes that had occurred within Ji Yang's body, she could still vaguely sense them.

Ji Yang now seemed to smell much better than before, too.

"Yes, the improvement was enormous. I'm already a level sixty-five Soul Emperor! Even my Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul has received an incredibly significant enhancement!"

Ji Yang said with a soft laugh.

The latter was a change he had only just sensed.

Specifically, it had improved the potency of the pills.

It had also increased their quantity.

If he used his current Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul to refine immortal herbs or Soul Beasts into pills, their medicinal potency would increase by at least thirty to fifty percent, while the quantity produced could even double.

That meant that, with the same amount of materials, the pills he refined now would provide roughly three to four times the improvement they had before.
