A Tulip
The next morning.
Dugu Bo stood in front of the golden tulips.
He was holding three items in his hands.
A white jade bowl.
A jade knife with no Soul Power attribute whatsoever.
And a small bottle of spring dew taken from the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Let's make this clear first."
Dugu Bo said:
"I don't recognize this herb."
All that is known is that the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi) is extremely pure.
You've made a mistake.
"At most, I can only guarantee my own survival."
"Unable to preserve the Martial Soul."
Li Man nodded.
"Don't pick them yet."
"Only test the dissipated medicinal effects."
She released the Green Jade Bamboo.
Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, slowly rose up.
The golden tulip turned towards her again.
The petals opened gently.
Pale golden mist emanated from the center of the flower.
It did not spread to everyone.
It drifted towards the Green Jade Bamboo.
Li Man did not allow her Martial Soul to make contact immediately.
The first key to the formation appeared between the two.
A pale golden mist entered the array's core.
The bamboo shadows did not wither.
It did not become thicker or stronger.
Instead, it starts from the very bottom.
Layer by layer, it became translucent.
The golden dragon pattern that originally existed on the surface of the bamboo.
It looks like it's been washed with clean water.
It has become clearer.
"The core of the formation is not out of control."
Ye Lingling said.
"The medicine is not aggressive."
Dugu Bo looked at Li Man.
How do you feel?
"The transfer of Soul Power has slowed down."
"Slowed down?"
"It's not obstructed."
Li Man closed her eyes and felt it.
The messy parts were separated.
The Soul Power of the Green Jade Bamboo is not completely pure.
This includes the vitality of plants.
It also possesses the resilience afforded by its Second Soul Ring.
The Third Soul Ring Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye, allows Soul Power to adhere more strongly and be more easily transmitted.
Different attributes can usually be used simultaneously.
However, they did not completely merge.
After the golden mist entered.
These forces were analyzed layer by layer.
Like several thin threads tangled together.
It is being rearranged.
"Retract the core of the formation."
Dugu Bo said.
Li Man voluntarily terminated the contract.
The effects of the pale gold medicine have not disappeared.
Instead, it returned to its Martial Soul form along with the array's core.
The Green Jade Bamboo trembled slightly.
The bamboo leaves unfurled simultaneously.
Li Man's Soul Power did not show any significant improvement.
However, their mental perception became clearer.
"It's just a little bit of the medicinal power dissipating naturally."
Qin Ming said:
"It can already affect the structure of Martial Soul."
This indicates a high degree of compatibility.
Dugu Bo did not immediately agree to pick them.
He then grabbed a common century-old green-veined bamboo.
It's not Soul Beast.
These are plants that possess a small amount of spirituality, influenced only by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
A wisp of golden mist was drawn toward the green-patterned bamboo.
The surface of the green-veined bamboo quickly became smooth.
The messy patterns gradually disappeared.
But it did not produce dragon patterns.
There has been no evolution either.
It's just that the vitality has been purified.
It doesn't conjure up new attributes out of thin air.
Li Man said:
It will only enhance the plant's original essence.
In other words...
Dong Jian looked at Green Jade Bamboo.
"The dragon pattern was originally within your Martial Soul."
Li Man nodded.
This was exactly the answer she needed.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty will not transform the Green Jade Bamboo into a completely unfamiliar Martial Soul.
It merely brings out the parts that were not yet fully awakened.
But new problems arose.
"Directions for use."
Dugu Bo said.
"Are you going to eat it with your mouth?"
Li Man looked at the golden flowers.
"No."
"Why?"
Its first response was its Martial Soul.
Li Man said:
"Not the body."
She released a bamboo tendril.
Stop about a foot away from the flower.
The golden mist immediately gathered towards the bamboo whiskers.
If swallowed directly.
The medicinal effects must first penetrate the body.
Then enter the Martial Soul.
A portion of that is likely to be wasted on improving Soul Power and physical strength.
What Li Man truly needs.
It allows the medicinal properties to directly drive the evolution of the Green Jade Bamboo.
"Absorb it using your Martial Soul."
She said.
Dugu Bo frowned.
"Plant-based Martial Soul come into contact with real plants."
"Once the other party's level of existence is higher."
It's not certain who will absorb whom.
This is not an exaggeration.
Some high-level plants can, in turn, devour the life force of plant-type Soul Master.
Li Man naturally understood.
Therefore, you can't directly insert the roots of the Green Jade Bamboo.
She created six miniature array points around the tulips.
Not a single flower touched it.
A gradually contracting ring forms between the key points of the formation.
"First, draw out the medicinal effects."
"Confirmed that the Green Jade Bamboo can complete one cycle."
"Pick more."
Dugu Bo said:
"Too little medicinal potency dissipates naturally."
"Unable to Simulation a complete Immortal Herb."
"It can be increased gradually."
Li Man answered.
Test begins.
Round 1.
Only the aura emanating naturally from a single petal entered the core of the formation.
The Green Jade Bamboo was successfully absorbed.
Round two.
Dugu Bo gently touched the heart of the flower with his spiritual power.
This drew out an even denser golden mist.
The Green Jade Bamboo dragon pattern is clearly lit up.
Li Man's six array nodes simultaneously became more stable.
The third round.
The potency of the medicine increased fivefold compared to the first round.
Change finally occurred.
The roots of the Green Jade Bamboo began to actively move closer to the golden flowers.
It wasn't under Li Man's control.
It is not a matter of Martial Soul instinct.
"Stop!"
She immediately deactivated the two frontmost array points.
The roots of the Green Jade Bamboo were forced to retract.
Li Man's face turned slightly pale.
"The Martial Soul wants to directly absorb the medicinal power."
Dugu Bo said:
"It's not a bad thing."
"Losing control is a bad thing."
Li Man answered.
She wouldn't let her desire for Martial Soul lead her to rely solely on instinct for judgment.
If the Green Jade Bamboo were to lose control under the influence of the Immortal Herb...
Even if evolution succeeds.
It can't be considered a power that truly belongs to her.
The fourth round of testing was not conducted immediately.
Li Man sat down cross-legged.
Reorganize the Soul Power path.
In the past, when setting up formations...
She was used to letting the Green Jade Bamboo itself bear the brunt of all the array's source.
Regardless of where the key point of the formation is.
Ultimately, everyone must maintain a connection with their Martial Soul.
Facing the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
This, in turn, will directly attract the original body.
"Move the main formation out."
Dong Jian said.
Li Man opened her eyes.
"What's the meaning?"
"You're not only capable of acting as the core of a formation through your Martial Soul."
Dong Jian pointed to six miniature bamboo shadows.
"Use a single Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye to absorb the medicinal power upon ingestion."
"The Green Jade Bamboo itself is only responsible for receiving the combed portion."
Li Man pondered for a moment.
The Third Soul Ring lit up.
The Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye was not attached to any teammates.
Instead, it adheres to the surface of a jade knife.
The jade knife was placed between golden tulips and Green Jade Bamboo.
The medicinal effects first entered the core of the jade knife array.
After the first round of screening.
Then the other five array eyes transmit the energy to the main body in turn.
This time.
The Green Jade Bamboo did not extend its roots directly towards the Immortal Herb.
The medicinal power is divided into six layers.
Each time it passes through a key point in the formation.
They all merged with the original Soul Power of the Martial Soul.
Until you enter the main body.
It is no longer a completely unfamiliar external force.
"Feasible."
Li Man said.
Dugu Bo asked:
"During formal absorption."
What if the core of the formation can't withstand the pressure?
It will break.
"After it breaks?"
"Give up that one."
Li Man replied:
"Let the next one take its place."
"All the key points of the formation are shattered?"
"Stop absorption."
Dugu Bo nodded.
At least she left herself a way out in case of failure.
Unlike when Dong Jian took the Ice and Fire Herbs.
From the entrance, you can only move forward.
Qin Ming asked:
"After formal absorption."
"Can it be stopped?"
Dugu Bo looked at the golden flowers.
"After picking."
"The medicine will be released quickly."
"Stopped midway."
"We might lose most of our divine essence."
"That's still better than having your Martial Soul go out of control."
Li Man said.
The preparation will last all day.
The six array nodes were expanded to nine.
Three are responsible for the introduction.
Three are used for buffering.
Three of them are responsible for delivering the medicinal power into the Green Jade Bamboo.
Dong Jian stood outside the formation.
His task was not to stabilize the Soul Power within Li Man's body.
Instead, we observe the flow of the external medicinal properties.
If a certain route is too fast.
They then used Black and White Gang Qi to alter the airflow and pressure.
Direct the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb towards the backup array core.
Ye Lingling was in charge of the physical examination.
Qin Ming was responsible for forcibly ending the incident when Li Man was in a state of confusion.
Dugu Bo was responsible for harvesting and preserving the remaining medicinal properties.
evening.
Everything is ready.
Dugu Bo supported the flower stem with pure spiritual power.
The jade knife fell from above its base.
Golden tulips are removed from the soil.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi throughout the entire valley trembled simultaneously.
The petals did not wither.
Instead, it opened completely.
A rich golden light spread outwards.
Li Man's nine array eyes lit up simultaneously.
"Guide the medicine!"
The first Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye actively caught the flower.
The Martial Soul itself was not allowed to directly touch it.
The golden medicinal power entered along the jade knife.
Cracks appeared instantly at the core of the formation.
Li Man did not hesitate.
"Change!"
The second key point takes over.
The first one shattered.
Not a single golden dot was wasted.
It was pulled back onto the route by the third backup array eye.
Green Jade Bamboo appeared behind Li Man.
The golden dragon pattern grew brighter and brighter.
However, the Martial Soul itself did not show any sign of submission.
The bamboo stalks, on the contrary, stand straight and upright.
All the bamboo leaves spread outwards.
It's as if it's resisting a higher level of plant life.
Aromatic Silk Beauty wants to trace its origins.
The Green Jade Bamboo, however, was unwilling to let external forces determine its form.
"It's resisting the medicine's effects."
Ye Lingling said.
"It's not rejection."
Li Man's forehead was covered in sweat.
"It's a struggle for dominance."
The Green Jade Bamboo was unwilling to bow its head.
Li Man also did not command it to obey completely.
She only kept adjusting the key points of the formation.
Let every wisp of golden medicinal power enter.
First, it goes through her own Soul Power.
It's not Immortal Herb used to modify Martial Soul.
Instead, it was her and her Martial Soul together.
Actively choose to absorb the parts that suit you.
The third key to the formation shattered.
The fourth one takes over.
Golden dragon patterns extend upwards along the bamboo.
This is the first time that all the bamboo nodes have been pierced through.
The tulip petals gradually transformed into specks of light.
In Li Man's consciousness.
Numerous plant roots appeared.
Some plunged downwards into the earth.
Some Entanglement and climbed.
Some cling to giant trees.
Some stood alone in the wind.
The golden medicinal power seemed to be asking a question.
What kind of plant will the Green Jade Bamboo eventually become?
Li Man did not choose the robust type.
The option was not to cover the entire mountain forest.
It did not choose to bloom with dazzling flowers.
She only kept one direction in mind.
Bamboo can be bent.
But it cannot be severed.
The root system can be moved.
But they always knew where the center of the formation was.
The power can pass through countless key points in the formation.
But it is up to her to decide where to go.
"It's not about turning you into it."
Li Man said in her mind.
It's about making you who you were meant to be.
The Green Jade Bamboo suddenly trembled.
The golden dragon pattern detached from the bamboo joint.
It transformed into a slender dragon shadow.
It circled around the Martial Soul once.
Then he drilled back into the bamboo.
The fifth and sixth array eyes shattered simultaneously.
Li Man swayed.
Dong Jian took half a step forward.
However, they did not enter the formation.
He cannot control her Martial Soul for her.
Only the ability to Force Observation can be activated.
Observe the flow of the remaining medicinal potency.
"Too fast on the left."
He said.
The black Soul Power landed outside the left-side array eye.
Increase air and Soul Power pressure.
The golden medicinal power was forced to shift to the backup passage on the right.
Li Man immediately took over.
The seventh array point has stabilized.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty had only three petals left.
Dugu Bo asked:
"Stop or not?"
"Continue."
Li Man said.
The main force is still intact.
The last three petals simultaneously turned into light.
The golden medicinal power passed through all external nodes.
All of them entered the body of the Green Jade Bamboo.
The bamboo stalk bent violently.
But it didn't break.
Then.
A deep dragon roar emanated from within the Martial Soul.
That wasn't the true roar of Beast Martial Soul.
It's more like the wind passing through thousands of bamboo joints.
A long, resounding cry that converges.
The golden light completely engulfed Li Man.
Her figure disappeared into the bamboo-forest-like shadows.
There are only nine positions for the array's key points.
It remained alternating between light and darkness.
This proves that she has not lost control of her consciousness.
Dong Jian looked at the golden light.
They didn't rush in.
There was no urging.
He simply stood outside the formation.
It is the closest.
It won't interfere with her position.
Waiting for Green Jade Bamboo to make her choice.
