In the valley
Yu Yuanzhen's fingers gently stroked the pages of " Record of Heaven and Earth’s Rare Treasures," finally stopping on an exquisitely crafted illustration.
He looked up at the point where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well met, his gaze piercing.
" The Mysterious Nether Dragon Saliva Grass grows in places where extreme cold and extreme heat meet, and its entire body is azure blue like a dragon's whiskers..." he murmured, then suddenly pointed to a moss-covered rock at the edge of the cold spring.
"There!"
Dugu Bo flashed and arrived beside the rock.
There, growing in the crack of the rock, was a crystal-clear blue herb with long, thin leaves like dragon whiskers, its surface covered with fine, scaly patterns.
This Mysterious Nether Dragon Saliva Grass emitted Youyou blue light amidst the mist of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"That's it!"
Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.
"Just pick them directly."
"Good!"
Dugu Bo carefully plucked the Mysterious Nether Dragon Saliva Grass. The moment the grass leaves left the soil, they faintly emitted a soft dragon's roar.
"What a magnificent Mysterious Nether Dragon Saliva Grass! Truly extraordinary!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in delight.
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes lit up as she curiously examined the Immortal Herb.
" Yanyan, after consuming this Mysterious Nether Dragon Saliva Grass, your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul should evolve. I just don't know if it will evolve into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, or... a Dragon Seed!"
Yu Tianming's eyes flickered slightly; he sensed the power of the dragon bloodline in the Mysterious Nether Dragon Saliva Grass.
Normally speaking,
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has evolved, and should have become the higher-level Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
However, if the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul can absorb that dragon bloodline power, there is another possibility—the serpent-python transforms into a dragon!
Can it really evolve?
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan could no longer contain herself and immediately unleashed her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, the emerald green serpent shadow slithering behind her.
"The chances are very high."
Yu Tianming didn't make any absolute statements.
" Yanyan, sit down cross-legged." Dugu Bo walked quickly to Dugu Yan and handed the Dragon Saliva Grass to his granddaughter.
"Just swallow it directly, then circulate your Soul Power to absorb it."
Yu Yuanzhen added.
"Good!"
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and sat cross-legged about three zhang away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
She put the whole Dragon Saliva Grass in her mouth; the leaves melted instantly, turning into a strange-tasting liquid that slid down her throat.
In an instant,
Dugu Yan shuddered, and blue patterns resembling dragon scales appeared on the surface of the panel.
Her aura was constantly growing stronger, and her Soul Power was increasing at a visible rate.
soon,
An hour passed.
Yu Tianming, Dugu Bo, and others stood beside Dugu Yan, protecting her.
As time went by, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul also slowly changed. The originally emerald green serpent scales began to peel off, revealing the new, harder, and thicker scales underneath.
"Ah--"
A cry of pain escaped from Dugu Yan's mouth.
New scales continued to grow, each one gleaming with a metallic sheen, its edges tinged with turquoise.
Two protrusions bulged on the top of the snake's head, its fangs were more than twice their original length, and the dripping venom corroded the ground, producing plumes of white smoke.
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up. " The Jade Phosphorous Serpent is evolving into a Flood Dragon!"
Dugu Bo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with both worry and anticipation.
Another hour passed.
Dugu Yan's breathing had stabilized. She opened her eyes, and her pupils had turned into vertical snake pupils, gleaming with a cold, eerie green light.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has also undergone a complete transformation.
Its originally slender snake body became thick and powerful, four dragon claws appeared on its abdomen, and its whole body was covered with scales of dark green and purple-black, exuding a suffocating pressure.
The snake's head grew even larger and sprouted a pair of dragon horns!
" Jade Phosphorous Poison Flood Dragon..."
Dugu Bo's voice was full of surprise, "No, it should be called Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon!"
Dugu Yan stood up. Her evolved Martial Soul and surging Soul Power brought about a dramatic change in her strength.
With a thought, a dark green vortex formed around his body.
She gently raised her hand, and a highly condensed poisonous mist erupted from her palm, easily corroding a deep pit into a boulder.
"Grandpa, I feel... the toxin is completely under my control."
Dugu Yan looked at her hands with delight, "Moreover, my Soul Power has directly increased to level 30, and I can obtain my third Soul Ring!"
Dugu Bo clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Excellent! No wonder it's Immortal Herb!"
With his Martial Soul Evolution, the problem of the poison backlash was solved, and his Soul Power even increased dramatically. He was extremely satisfied with this result.
"Not only that, Soul Grandmaster absorbing a compatible Immortal Herb wouldn't only increase their Soul Power by six levels. We'll only know the true extent of the increase once they obtain their third Soul Ring," Yu Tianming said with a smile.
" Yanyan, congratulations."
Ye Lingling smiled and offered her congratulations.
Dugu Bo was in a great mood as he looked at his granddaughter's transformed appearance.
He waved his sleeves with a magnanimous air. " Tianming, Old Dragon, we owe you a great debt of gratitude this time. You may choose any of the Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; take as many as you like!"
"Thank Grandpa Dugu."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianming smiled slightly.
Suddenly, he noticed Ye Lingling standing quietly to the side, maintaining a smile, but with a hint of envy in her eyes.
" Grandpa Dugu,"
Yu Tianming cupped his hands and said, "May I ask if I could also choose a Immortal Herb for Lingling?"
"Ah, no need!" Ye Lingling hurriedly waved her hand, a blush rising on her fair cheeks. "Such a precious Immortal Herb, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Dugu Yan had already grabbed her arm and shaken it:
" Lingling, why are you being so polite!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan turned to Dugu Bo, blinked her emerald green eyes, and said in a drawn-out, coquettish tone, "Grandpa~"
Dugu Bo, a devoted granddaughter's slave, naturally couldn't bear to refuse Dugu Yan, shaking his head indulgently. "You little rascal..."
He turned to Ye Lingling, his tone kind. "Ye family girl, Yanyan hasn't had many friends since she was little, it's rare that she gets along so well with you."
"Consider this Immortal Herb a gift from me; please feel free to choose."
Yu Yuanzhen watched this scene with a smile, and added at the right moment, "It's rare for the Old Poison to be so generous."
Ye Lingling's eyes reddened slightly; she was deeply moved.
She was about to bow and express her gratitude when Dugu Yan grabbed her arm. " Lingling, come on, I'll go with you to find the most suitable Immortal Herb!"
Yu Tianming walked to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his gaze wandering among the many Immortal Herb, finally settling on an eight-petaled lotus flower that was pure white and crystal clear.
" Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
Yu Tianming recognized the Immortal Herb at a glance.
In the original work, the Immortal Herb that Oscar consumed had a mild and mellow medicinal property. It could strengthen the body's foundation, remove impurities, and compensate for the slow cultivation speed of Support System Soul Master.
But compared to Oscar, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid seems more suitable for Ye Lingling!
Ye Lingling is not only Support System Soul Master, but the compatibility between her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is also far superior to that of her Sausage Martial Soul.
" Lingling, this Immortal Herb is perfect for you."
Yu Tianming plucked the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, stood up, and walked towards Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling turned her head and saw the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.
That pure white seemed capable of washing away all the filth in the world.
