Jingyang Mountain.
Inside the mountain, Xue Linglong woke first.
The Magnetism Mother Tree's tree heart liquid was a supreme medicinal elixir, nurtured by its immense vitality over a hundred thousand years and tempered by heavenly tribulation. Though heavenly tribulation was supremely fierce and yang, it also stimulated that vast vitality, granting the liquid not only the life force to revive the dead and regrow flesh on bare bones, but also the ability to cleanse meridians and marrow.
Yet the medicinal potency of the Magnetism Mother Tree's tree heart liquid was remarkably gentle, making it perfectly suited for soul masters to absorb.
After only a little over two hours, Xue Linglong opened her sky-blue eyes. Nothing about her appearance had changed, but her ice skin and jade bones seemed a little more vibrant, and a faint fragrance emanated from her marrow.
Before heading to Jingyang Mountain, Xue Linglong had already been a level 51 Soul King. Fusing with the soul bone from the Red Rock Pangolin King had raised her soul power by one level, bringing her to level 52, and after drinking the tree heart liquid, she had reached level 53.
Although the tree heart liquid had only raised Xue Linglong's soul power by one level, its greatest benefit to soul masters had never been increasing soul power, but strengthening vitality and cleansing meridians and marrow. Even if her cultivation stopped progressing now, Xue Linglong could live to three hundred, outlasting many Titled Douluos. And that was the effect of drinking only half of it. After all, the tree heart liquid came from a plant-type soul beast that had survived one heavenly tribulation, so its effects were exceptionally good. If a soul master drank all of it, their lifespan would likely increase to five hundred years.
