Deep in the Sunset Forest, on the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Ye Lingling, who had arrived following Lin Mo, surveyed the surrounding poison array with great interest, and couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration.
" Grandpa Dugu's expertise in poison and formations is truly deepening. Just this outer poison formation alone would be difficult for anyone without the cultivation of Titled Douluo to force their way through."
"You know how important this place is to the old man."
Even when Elder Yang wanted some rare medicinal herbs to refine medicine, it was Grandpa who personally fetched them for him. He was never allowed to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, not even once. Lin Mo sighed.
Ever since he learned the true function of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the preciousness of the herbs inside, Dugu Bo has valued Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well highly.
This means Lin Mo can come and go from here at will.
If it were anyone else, let alone getting inside, Dugu Bo would have knocked their head off even if they just tried to approach.
Ye Lingling nodded. "That's true. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting anyone else in either. Any single herb in here could feed an ordinary person for a lifetime."
"Stay close to me, don't go the wrong way," Lin Mo said, stepping into the poisonous array.
Ye Lingling followed closely behind him, the two of them walking one after the other into the depths.
Soon, thanks to the array-crossing techniques taught by Dugu Bo, Lin Mo and Ye Lingling easily entered the array without damaging it and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The red and blue spring waters remain distinctly separate, with hot and cold air intertwining on the surface, creating a thin layer of mist.
Two completely opposite auras intertwined above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, forming a Barrier that isolated this small valley from the outside world.
Those rare and precious Immortal Herb appeared and disappeared in the mist, radiating their own unique light.
Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Lin Mo couldn't help but take a breath.
"Wow, it's gotten so big!"
Ye Lingling's exclamation interrupted Lin Mo's thoughts.
Lin Mo looked in the direction Ye Lingling was pointing and saw the Blood Red Blue Silver Emperor plant Ingrain at the confluence of the Ice and Fire Springs.
The Blue Silver Emperor plant had grown considerably larger than when I last visited, with broad, thick leaves and a surface interwoven with pale gold and dark red veins.
The aura emanating from this Blue Silver Emperor is much stronger than when I last visited.
Ye Lingling tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve, her eyes filled with surprise. "The last time I saw it, it was just a small Blue Silver Grass?"
"It's only been a few years, and it's grown like this?"
Lin Mo smiled and led her forward.
The two moved closer, Lin Mo gently stroked the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor. One leaf curled up around Lin Mo's finger, carrying a hint of longing.
Lin Mo withdrew his finger and said, "It seems that this place is indeed very suitable for the growth of this Blue Silver Emperor."
In just a few short years, it has leaped from the level of Thousand-Year Soul Beast to the level of a nearly Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Ye Lingling nodded as well. "Moreover, I can sense that this Blue Silver Emperor's attribute is indeed Life, and its Life aura is quite pure."
At this point, Ye Lingling turned to Lin Mo: " A-Mo, your previous idea actually has a considerable chance of coming true."
"By harnessing the Life contained within the Gold of Life, and infusing it with that Life, it might truly be possible to restore its cultivation to its former level in a very short time."
This is also why Lin Mo brought Ye Lingling here.
He plans to go into seclusion here for a period of time, and because it involves the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, he does not intend to let others know too much.
Ye Lingling and the others didn't care, but Ah Yin didn't.
So it's a good opportunity to have Ye Lingling come over and see if she can help it reach the 100,000-year Maturity Stage, and then transplant it away.
However, at this point, Ye Lingling looked at Lin Mo, her tone filled with worry. "If this guy really recovers his cultivation, will he listen to you A-Mo?"
Her gaze fell on the blood-red Blue Silver Emperor, with a scrutinizing air.
None of the Soul Beast that have developed intelligence are easy to deal with. If this guy really regains his strength, will he turn around and bite us?
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo placed his hand on the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves again, gently stroking them, his fingers slowly sliding across the leaves, feeling the touch, and his heart stirred.
"It's best if they listen, but it doesn't matter if they don't."
"If it really doesn't obey, we can just kill it and take its Soul Bone."
Anyway, Sister Lingling, you're still lacking Soul Bone. The Soul Bone produced by the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor is quite a good match for your Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
He withdrew his hand and patted away non-existent dust from his palm.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Ye Lingling said no more.
Yes, with Lin Mo around, there's absolutely no need to worry about these issues.
Let alone a Soul Beast that has just recovered to 100,000 years of cultivation, even those Soul Beast with 400,000 to 500,000 years of cultivation would probably be nothing in front of Lin Mo and the Charizard now.
Soon, Ye Lingling took the blue crystal-like piece of Gold of Life from her Storage Soul Tool and floated it in front of her chest.
The crystal was entirely emerald green, emitting a faint glow. The moment it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become fresher.
The next moment, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul suddenly appeared in Ye Lingling's hand.
Pure white flowers bloomed in her palm, and nine Soul Ring— six black and three red—surrounded the Nine Heart Begonia, radiating a dazzling light.
Ye Lingling took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused her attention on the Gold of Life.
Soon, under Ye Lingling's control, some mist peeled off from the Gold of Life, and under her control, this extracted Life was infused into the Blue Silver Emperor.
The mist is as fine as a hair, yet it contains an extremely rich Life.
With this infusion of Life, the cultivation level of this Blue Silver Emperor plant expanded rapidly, like an inflating Air Balloon.
The aura that was originally still some time away from reaching the ten-thousand-year Dash suddenly crossed that boundary and reached the level of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor have become wider and thicker, the stems have become more robust, and the blood-red patterns on the surface have become clearer.
The entire plant is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
After crossing the boundary, the Blue Silver Emperor did not stop, but began to race forward, continuing to improve.
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years, forty thousand years...
Until the final 100,000 years.
The aura emanating from the entire Blue Silver Emperor had changed from its initial gentleness to a more violent one.
An intense pressure emanated from the Blue Silver Emperor, causing all the surrounding Immortal Herb to bow their heads.
The entire process lasted for several hours.
Only Ye Lingling, whose cultivation has now broken through to the Titled Douluo stage, can support such a massive consumption.
If it were her in the past, even if she could perform such delicate operations on the Gold of Life, she would probably have needed to rest several times in a row to complete the entire process.
During this process, under Ye Lingling's guidance, Lin Mo released a significant amount of blood to nourish Ah Yin.
To be precise, this was extra blood released by Lin Mo to prevent the Blue Ye Lingling Blue Silver Emperor from escaping Lin Mo's control in the future.
This extra step was simply to deepen Lin Mo's control over it.
Soon, Ah Yin, whose cultivation had returned to 100,000 years ago, transformed once again into a large cocoon with a diameter of over ten meters, interwoven with blood red and deep blue.
The giant cocoon floated above the confluence of the ice and fire springs, slowly rotating, its surface shimmering with red and blue light.
Ye Lingling wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a breath, and after retrieving the Gold of Life, looked down at Lin Mo and said, "I have fulfilled my mission."
Her face was a little pale, and her purple eyes were filled with exhaustion, but even more so with a sense of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work Sister Lingling." Lin Mo looked at the large cocoon and said, "What stage is her cultivation at now? Has she returned to the level of 100,000 years ago?"
"Hmm, it should be more than that." Ye Lingling pondered for a moment and said, "Blood is originally part of your Martial Soul, A-Mo, and your Body Martial Soul has been cultivated to an extremely profound level."
"It was already nourished by your blood, and now it has absorbed some of your blood again. In addition, the Life released by the Gold of Life Gold of Life it the most suitable natural treasure for it."
"I suspect her true cultivation level after emerging from her cocoon won't be weaker than two hundred thousand years ago," Ye Lingling said with certainty.
She paused, then added, "And because she used your blood for both of her breakthroughs, the connection between you and it will only become stronger."
Lin Mo stared with great interest at the large cocoon in the distance, a rare sight on the Douluo Continent.
Soul Beast that has transformed into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and most likely chooses to re-cultivate into a human.
If he weren't Tang San, I couldn't help but shout, "Resurrect, my..."
The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
He shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Several more hours passed under the watchful eyes of Lin Mo and Ye Lingling.
As dusk settled, the mist above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well glowed faintly in the twilight.
The aura within the red and blue intertwined cocoon suddenly surged to its peak, then shattered, transforming into a sky full of starlight.
The sound of the large cocoon cracking was crisp and melodious, and red and blue light spread in all directions, illuminating the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Starlight drifted down slowly through the air.
As the cocoon broke, a beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty years old suddenly appeared in the spot where the Blue Silver Emperor had been.
She had long, deep blue hair and wore a blue and gold dress with gold ribbons curling up around the hem.
Her long hair reached her waist and swayed gently in the breeze.
Her skin was as white as snow, her features were delicate, and she exuded the charm of a mature wife.
But at this moment, those deep eyes were filled with confusion and unease.
She stood on the water, barefoot, her toes lightly touching the surface, creating ripples.
"It's female?" Ye Lingling's tone was quite surprised, her purple eyes filled with astonishment.
She circled around Ah Yin, looking her up and down.
"Probably." Lin Mo nodded, then stared with interest at Ah Yin, who had been given a new lease on life.
Ah Yin now looks almost identical to Lin Mo in his memory, with only one difference.
Eye.
Ah Yin's eyes were not the light blue Lin Mo remembered; they seemed to have turned a deep blood red due to the influence of his blood.
Lin Mo's image was now reflected in those blood-red eyes.
"And another thing..." Ye Lingling grabbed Lin Mo's clothes and shook them, "Isn't it Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Why did it transform into a human? Did she also choose to transform?"
Many questions arose in Ye Lingling's mind.
She had met Xiao Wu and knew about the existence of shapeshifting Soul Beast, but she thought it was just an exception.
Xiao Wu is a unique being who chooses to transform into a human; among all the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, there might not be even one in a hundred.
Unexpectedly, this Blue Silver Emperor plant also chose the same path.
The Charizard had already been released by Lin Mo and was waiting for a long time. It was now fully charged up and staring at the middle-aged woman not far away with its fierce eyes.
Its tail swayed gently, the flames at its tip dancing in the air, its snout slightly parted, revealing gleaming white teeth, and a low warning growl emanated from its throat.
He adopted a posture that suggested he would immediately kill Ah Yin if things went wrong.
"Master, Mistress."
Ah Yin greeted the two in turn, her eyes showing no fear. "When our Soul Beast break through 100,000 years of cultivation, we can make a choice."
"I can either continue cultivating as Soul Beast or transform into human form, and this is the second time I've chosen to transform into a human..." His tone was full of caution.
As she spoke, her gaze kept shifting back and forth between Lin Mo and the Charizard, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
She could sense the deadly threat emanating from Charizard, and she could also feel the aura emanating from Lin Mo that made her instinctively submit.
"Thank goodness, the plan didn't go wrong." Hearing Ah Yin's address, Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, patting her full breasts with her small hands, causing them to tremble.
Although it is Soul Beast, if it has already transformed into a human, then in Ye Lingling's eyes, it is a human, just like Xiao Wu, Lin Mo's classmate whom she had met in the Star Dou Great Forest.
They are, in a sense, part of humanity.
If they were in beast form, Ye Lingling would kill them to obtain Soul Ring and Soul Bone without any psychological burden.
However, if they have already taken human form, then in Ye Lingling's view, these people can be regarded as part of humanity.
She felt a pang of reluctance to kill them again to obtain their Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Soon, Lin Mo raised his right hand, palm down.
Ah Yin's body seemed to suddenly go out of control, and she instantly knelt down on the ground.
Her knees slammed heavily onto the ground, her hands braced on the floor, her body trembling slightly. A profound fear welled up in her blood-red eyes, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She dared not look up, dared not speak, and dared not even breathe too loudly.
She could feel an invisible force emanating from Lin Mo, pressing down on her and making her unable to move.
"Alright, get up. From now on, you'll be by Sister Lingling's side." Lin Mo withdrew her hand and said.
Perhaps it was because Ah Yin received a large amount of his blood during her infancy, and this breakthrough to 100,000 years of cultivation further strengthened this relationship with his blood.
In essence, Ah Yin can be regarded as his subordinate, and her life and death are entirely in Lin Mo's hands.
He could clearly sense that Ah Yin's life and death were completely in his control.
With just a single thought from him, Ah Yin would die instantly.
"Yes, Master."
Ah Yin timidly stood up, then respectfully went to Ye Lingling's side and followed behind her closely.
The fear hadn't completely dissipated in those blood-red eyes, but a sense of relief had crept in.
"How is your cultivation level now?" Lin Mo asked.
"Master, you can just call me Ah Yin. As for my cultivation level, it seems to be that of a ninth-ring Titled Douluo..."
A Blue Silver Emperor with blood-red patterns emerged from Ah Yin's palm, accompanied by two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul Blue Silver Emperor —a perfectly standard Soul Ring Configuration.
A faint crimson light flowed along the vines of the Blue Silver Emperor, and nine Soul Ring encircled the vines, each radiating its own light.
"Under normal circumstances, my cultivation level after the reconstruction should be at the Maturity Stage stage of level seventy."
However, with the help of you, Master and Mistress, my cultivation level skipped the next twenty levels and reached the level Level 90 Titled Douluo.
"As for the three subsequent Soul Ring, the Ninth Soul Ring was formed from my original essence, while the seventh and Eighth Soul Ring were formed by drawing upon the Life that had previously dissipated."
Ah Yin's voice carried a sense of relief, but also a hint of lingering fear that she herself was Frisk of.
She looked down at the Blue Silver Emperor in her palm, then at Lin Mo, her eyes filled with even deeper awe.
Ye Lingling was staring at the Blue Silver Emperor in Ah Yin's hand when a thought suddenly occurred to her.
If she remembered correctly, although there were quite a few people who possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, very few of them possessed Soul Power.
In her memory, the most recent person with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and decent cultivation seemed to be Tang San.
Furthermore, according to Grandpa Dugu's theory, the quality of the two Martial Soul of Twin Martial Souls owner should be equivalent, just like A-Mo's Charizard and his Body Martial Soul.
According to this theory, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which can coexist with the Clear Sky Hammer, is most likely not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Was it the Blue Silver King they had seen before, or perhaps the Blue Silver Emperor like the woman before them?
If Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul's true form is indeed the Blue Silver Emperor, then could he possibly be related to the woman in front of him, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?
The thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
Upon hearing the name "Ah Yin," Lin Mo's smile turned playful, and his heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
After he finishes this period of seclusion, he will definitely make a trip to the Star Luo Empire.
He was really looking forward to seeing what expressions Tang Hao and Tang San would have when they saw Ah Yin after she had recovered.
It'll probably be a lot of fun.
A slight smile played on his lips, and a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes; the mere thought of those scenes was intriguing.
"Alright, Sister Lingling, take her away from here first. She's now at the level of a Titled Douluo, so let her stay by your side."
"The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone you absorbed should have come from her, so you two do have some common topics."
Lin Mo snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling nodded, about to speak, but Ah Yin Me First.
After hesitating for a moment, Ah Yin spoke up, "I can help the mistress nurture this Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. Given enough time, it should be able to further improve its quality..."
Her voice carried a hint of probing, yet also a touch of ingratiation.
After she finished speaking, she looked nervously at Ye Lingling, waiting for her response.
"You have this ability?" Ye Lingling was quite surprised, a look of astonishment flashing in her purple eyes.
She looked down at her right leg, then at Ah Yin.
The healing abilities enhanced by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone are very useful to her, but the accompanying flight ability is practically useless to her now.
If the quality could be further improved, that would be even better.
"Alright then, you'll stay by my side from now on. I'm about to begin my secluded cultivation, so you'll assist me and protect me."
She'll be going into seclusion soon after she gets back.
Unlike Lin Mo and Dugu Yan, who went into seclusion to Dash the Titled Douluo, her purpose in going into seclusion was to condense her First Soul Core.
Her cultivation level has reached Level 94; it's time to put the Soul Core on the agenda.
"Yes, Madam." Ah Yin nodded in agreement.
Only then did the immense unease in her heart begin to subside, and her gaze toward Lin Mo and Ye Lingling became increasingly respectful.
Her senses were naturally keen.
She was quite certain that if she had dared to show any disrespect or disobey Lin Mo's wishes when she was first resurrected, her master would have truly intended to kill her and destroy her Soul Bone.
There is absolutely no mistake about this.
This is also why Ah Yin expressed her loyalty to Lin Mo without hesitation and quickly demonstrated her own value.
Soon after Ye Lingling left with Ah Yin, the Charizard suddenly let out a roar, extremely excited.
"Roar..."
The dragon's roar echoed through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding Alto Mare.
After hovering in the air for a long time, the Charizard finally descended from the sky and plunged into the Blazing Hot Yang Spring, swimming downwards from the spring's source.
Water splashed everywhere, the Blazing Hot Yang Spring water was broken apart by its massive body, stirring up waves several meters high.
Nowadays, the temperature of the Blazing Hot Yang Spring can no longer contain it.
Its silhouette sank rapidly into the spring water, quickly disappearing into the red and blue water, leaving only a few ripples slowly spreading across the surface.
Lin Mo gazed in the direction where the Charizard had disappeared, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He turned around and stepped to another spring, near the surface of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring.
The water of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring is a deep blue color, and the air is filled with a bone-chilling cold.
After taking a deep breath, he jumped into the spring and let his body slowly sink into the depths of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring.
The spring water was icy cold, but Lin Mo felt no discomfort whatsoever.
The chill of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring was surging in from all directions, seeping into his skin and spreading throughout his body along his meridians.
However, the chill was easily dispelled by the Bloodline Power Lin Mo's internal energy.
He closed his eyes, letting the chill envelop him.
The entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell into its usual silence once again.
