She could even pass on the Heart Separation Control method, a secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, to Tang San and the others.
Let alone anything else.
Judging by her personality, if she knew the true effect of whale glue, she would definitely tell Tang San and the others.
Moreover, she is only at the Spirit Master Realm. Once she obtains her second thousand-year spirit ring, that scoundrel Yu Xiaogang will definitely try every possible means to trick the method out of her.
Can she withstand Yu Xiaogang's persuasion?
It's best not to tell the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and it's also best not to tell Qian Renxue.
As for how to decline... I still need to think about it.
Dugu Bo asked, "Do you have any ideas for your second spirit ring? I'm quite familiar with the Sunset Forest; perhaps I can help you save some time in finding a Spirit Beast."
He deeply understood the value of the method for improving Physique.
If he were a stranger, he would naturally have many ways to make him speak.
But he wasn't.
After more than two years of getting along, this kid had become a very good friend with her.
He naturally couldn't force it.
After all, she didn't have many friends; besides Ye Lingling, it was just this kid.
Yu Tianheng, Oslo, and the others were just teammates.
So he didn't know how to bring it up for a while.
He saw his dilemma.
He smiled and said, "There's no rush for the spirit ring. Senior, don't you want to know how my Physique can be comparable to a thirty-level Spirit Master at only level nineteen?"
To gain favor, one must be proactive.
If passive, others might still appreciate it, but they would think you were forced to speak.
"Hmm?"
Dugu Bo was stunned. He didn't expect him to actively bring up this matter.
"Isn't it because of your Spirit?"
She was full of questions. So, the reason for the Spirit was his lie.
"When you're out and about, you know..."
He gave a faint smile, which made her roll her eyes.
This guy...
He spoke so convincingly at the time that she actually believed his nonsense.
"Little fellow, are you really willing to share it?"
Dugu Bo looked at him skeptically. Is this kid really so generous?
He smiled and said, "You are not outsiders."
"Hahaha..."
Dugu Bo burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this.
He said, "Senior, don't be too happy too soon. This kind of improvement is limited and not very useful for you; it's only somewhat useful for Yanzi."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, "No matter. It's enough if it's effective for Yan Yan."
"Thank you!"
She sincerely thanked him. She knew that he was willing to share because of her grandfather.
But that wasn't important.
After all, his relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also good, so he didn't necessarily need to curry favor with her grandfather.
Their relationship definitely played a part as well.
He teased, "Don't just say it; you have to take practical action."
"Are you trying to die?"
She angrily kicked him. How could she not know what the so-called practical action in his mouth meant?
She glanced at her grandfather.
Seeing his face full of confusion, as if he hadn't understood his implied meaning.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Even so, her cheeks were still a little flushed and hot.
This guy was getting more and more presumptuous.
Joking around in private was one thing, but now he dared to tease her in front of her grandfather.
Simply...
Dugu Bo, who hadn't understood initially, saw his granddaughter's blushing face.
Suddenly, he understood everything.
But it wasn't a big problem; in fact, he even wished for the two of them to get together.
After all, his talent was evident.
Leaving aside his background, looking at the entire continent, he absolutely couldn't find a more outstanding grandson-in-law than him.
"Cough, cough..."
Dugu Bo cleared his throat twice, shifting their attention to himself.
As for talking about love...
They could do that in private; it was somewhat inappropriate in front of him.
"Whale glue."
He continued, "The reason my Physique far surpasses Spirit Masters of the same level is because I consumed whale glue, but the method of consumption is different."
"What?"
Dugu Bo was a little confused.
Whale glue?
Ascending?
Isn't that stuff an aphrodisiac? It actually has such a miraculous effect?
She, on the other hand, looked bewildered.
She didn't even know what whale glue was; after all, everyone she interacted with was a Spirit Master.
Most of them didn't need that stuff.
He explained, "Although whale glue has always been used as an aphrodisiac, its true efficacy has never been developed until now."
"Baking it with intense heat and consuming it after it softens can enhance a Spirit Master's Physique."
"However, the effect of low-grade whale glue is barely better than nothing; at least five thousand years or more is needed to achieve the effect of absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring beyond the limit for the second ring."
Dugu Bo frowned slightly.
Spirit Beasts in the sea are already difficult to find and hunt, let alone whale-type Spirit Beasts, which are overlords of the sea.
Moreover, whale glue has always been used as an aphrodisiac.
A few hundred years' worth is completely sufficient, so no one would bother to hunt for those over a thousand years old.
Whale glue over five thousand years old might not even be available for sale.
But it wasn't a big problem; if he really couldn't find it, he could just go there himself.
"Alright, I'll look for it later."
Dugu Bo continued, "If it really doesn't work, I'll just go myself."
"Uh, that..."
He reminded, "Don't get one with too high a cultivation age either. Even a ten-thousand-year-level one needs to be shared, otherwise Yanzi might not be able to bear it."
He had to remind him.
What if he killed a tens of thousands of years old one and brought it back? Wouldn't she burn to death from lust?
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately understood.
"So, that means your second spirit ring is a defensive Spirit Beast just over a thousand years old, right?"
He nodded, "Yes."
Dugu Bo said, "Alright then, I'll go directly and catch one for you to raise. After your Breakthrough, you can just come to Dugu Bo to hunt and absorb it."
He cupped his hands, "Thank you, Senior."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, "You're willing to share such a good thing; what's a little thing like this for me? Don't be so polite."
He said no more.
Currently, it seemed he could confidently bring up the issue of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit's flaw.
But there was no rush.
It wasn't too late to bring it up after she had her Breakthrough and received the benefits.
There was no time to spare.
Dugu Bo stood up, "You two chat. I'll go see how the dinner preparations are coming along."
"I'm very curious..."
She looked at him with a mischievous smile, "How did you discover the other effects of an aphrodisiac?"
After saying that.
She also squinted her eyes and scrutinized him from head to toe, her meaning incredibly obvious.
"Heh heh!"
He sneered, "You'll know how strong I am tonight."
Dugu Yan: "???"
Only then did she remember that they had agreed to go to a hotel after dinner at the academy.
Cowardly?
There was no way he'd be cowardly. Even if he had ten times the guts, would he dare to take her?
Isn't it just talking big?
It's like who can't do it.
"Alright, I'd like to see. Just make sure you're not a three-second man."
The dinner for three people was enough for ten, which was truly a bit extravagant and wasteful.
After eating and drinking their fill.
He stared directly at Dugu Yan, his provocative intent obvious.
Her heart fluttered in panic.
No—it was just a joke, why are you taking it seriously?
She buried her head in her food, pretending not to see him.
At this moment, she no longer had the composure and confidence she displayed when verbally sparring.
Heh heh!
He smiled disdainfully, not intending to tease her further.
After dinner, he prepared to leave.
Just before leaving, he couldn't help but look at Dugu Yan and teased, "Not planning to see me off?"
"Get lost!"
Her small face flushed red as she scolded him softly, then gave him a big eye-roll.
"Haha—"
He chuckled and looked at Dugu Bo: "Senior, I'll head back now."
Dugu Bo nodded.
Stepping out of the Dugu Residence, the sky was already somewhat dim, and the streets seemed a bit deserted.
This was not the commercial district, after all.
Slowly walking through two streets, he returned to his own residence.
"Oh, why are you back?"
In the main courtyard, a youth of indeterminate gender, whose left eye was covered by frost, was lying on a reclining chair, admiring the moon.
Seeing his sudden return, he was slightly surprised.
He had met the youth over a year ago on his way back to Heaven Dou City.
At that time, he looked like a refugee.
However, with his distinct appearance, he immediately knew what was going on.
He played along with him in a little act, and then took him in.
He said exasperatedly, "Why do I feel like you live a more carefree life than me, a Count?"
"Not at all."
Glowing Feather Douluo smiled, showing no trace of guilt.
"How's the task I gave you coming along?"
He liked to pretend, so he naturally didn't treat him as a Titled Douluo.
He couldn't possibly treat him like a revered father he'd picked up, right?
Over this past year, he would occasionally assign him tasks.
He used him however he pleased.
Of course.
Knowing he was from Spirit Hall, he naturally wouldn't assign him any important tasks; they were all things that required effort but weren't difficult.
The main goal was to not let him be too idle.
For example, when he returned last time, he gave him the task of investigating Zhu Zhuqing.
Speaking of Douluo beauties, Zhu Zhuqing definitely ranked high.
Moreover, not only was her appearance good, but her figure was also unique in Douluo.
She was also suppressed.
Dai Mubai chose to give up and enjoy a life of luxury, but she was desperately working hard.
Her Innate spirit power was only Rank seven or eight, making her definitely the least talented among the protagonist group, yet she wasn't left too far behind by Tang San and the others.
This showed just how hard she worked.
She had both looks and figure; although her talent wasn't top-tier, it wasn't a big problem.
As for her deeply loving Dai Mubai.
Don't be ridiculous.
How old was she when Dai Mubai left Star Luo, and she was also put through such misery.
It would be a miracle if she had any love.
It was merely a compromise born of helplessness, perhaps with a hint of ambition.
After all, if it were simply a compromise.
She could have chosen to join a power like Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even the Star Luo Empire wouldn't dare to continue making things difficult for her.
To put it plainly, she still held a glimmer of hope for Dai Mubai, or for the position of Star Luo Empress—a yearning for power and status.
After all, with her background, how could she be content to live an ordinary life?
Such a person is not difficult to win over.
As long as she can see hope, and be convinced that following him will bring her more than following Dai Mubai, she will absolutely abandon Dai Mubai without hesitation.
After all, Dai Mubai was already so rotten, there was nothing worth clinging to.
As for why he was asked to investigate.
Naturally, it was because he truly had no one else to use, and it wasn't a major issue.
Even if it aroused some suspicion, it wouldn't have much impact.
Most importantly, he was about to start planning for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he needed to send this guy away, otherwise, if he hid in the dark, Dugu Bo might not even notice him.
He could send people to investigate intelligence, but he couldn't send people to take Zhu Zhuqing out of Star Luo City, could he?
Would he truly show no regard for the Star Luo Imperial Family at all?
"Here—"
Glowing Feather Douluo flipped his right hand, and a paper document appeared in his grasp.
He had not concealed his Spirit Master identity.
He just never displayed his strength, nor did he ever tell him his specific Rank.
To be honest.
He was a bit confused about the task of investigating Zhu Zhuqing.
Her Innate spirit power was only Rank seven, and she was also someone else's fiancée; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was useless except for her looks, so was there any need to investigate her?
Just because she was pretty and had a good figure?
That shouldn't be the case.
In terms of looks, wasn't Ye Lingling, who was by his side, better than Zhu Zhuqing?
Could it be because Zhu Zhuqing had a fiancé?
You know, while that idea is absurd, it's not impossible.
Some people really do have such peculiar preferences.
However, this kid was far away in the Heaven Dou Empire; he shouldn't know about Zhu Zhuqing, let alone her appearance, even if he had heard of her.
He couldn't understand, truly couldn't understand.
He took the intelligence report and sat on a stool beside him to read it.
Zhu Zhuqing, seven years and six months old, born into the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hell Civet, Innate spirit power Rank seven, Rank thirteen one-ring Beast Spirit Master—
The intelligence was very detailed.
All information and experiences from her birth to the present were recorded on it.
In summary, one word: tragic!
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have chosen to end their own life long ago, unable to bear the humiliation.
For her to have endured until now was truly not easy.
After reading, he looked at Glowing Feather Douluo: "I know you should have some strength, so asking you to bring her out of Star Luo City shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
Glowing Feather Douluo: ".."
For a moment, he truly wanted to reveal his nine spirit rings to see if this kid would still dare to order him around like this.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you."
He didn't give him a chance to refuse, directly making the decision.
Glowing Feather Douluo: ""
Forget it, forget it, don't get angry, don't get angry. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.
Besides, the more he orders me around now, the more bewildered he'll be when I reveal my strength later. He might even be scared into sitting on the ground.
As Glowing Feather Douluo thought of that scene, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards.
Seeing him inexplicably start to smirk, he couldn't help but shiver. Could this old man be thinking about how to deal with him in his mind?
Never mind, I won't worry about him. Future matters will be dealt with in the future.
The Glowing Feather Divine Bow, which he had once greatly desired to replicate, was now right before his eyes, yet he no longer felt much longing, because his mindset had already changed.
Spirit quality doesn't necessarily determine combat power; the person holding the Spirit is the key.
And since he's already here.
He didn't believe he could pretend forever; it was just a matter of time.
While he 'didn't know' his identity, he could order him around as much as he wanted. Once he revealed his true self, he wouldn't be able to use him as he did now.
Three days passed in a flash, and his spirit power Rank finally Broke Through to Rank 20.
However, the Spirit Beast Dugu Bo promised to catch had not yet been brought back.
Because he had spent all his energy these past few days searching for whale glue.
Hard work pays off.
Ultimately, Dugu Bo managed to find a six-thousand-year-old piece of whale glue.
This saved him the time of personally hunting at sea.
After she consumed that piece of whale glue, her Physique was not only enhanced, but her spirit power Rank also Broke Through to Rank 30.
She could now go with him to the Sunset Forest to hunt for a spirit ring.
Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo led him and her, strolling through the jungle as if on a leisurely trip.
He wondered if he should use the Spirit defect issue to bring up the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now.
Although his current Physique was good, he could only absorb a spirit ring just over a thousand years old. If he were to undergo the Ice and Fire Forging Body, his endurance limit would definitely greatly increase.
A ten-thousand-year spirit ring was out of the question, but a five-thousand-year, or even higher-quality spirit ring, might be possible. Higher-quality spirit rings represented more spirit power.
Moreover, the Spirit Ability would be stronger, and the help for potential enhancement would also be greater.
There was another benefit to going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now.
That was, her Spirit mutation and subsequent rapid increase in spirit power could all be attributed to her second spirit ring.
This way, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
Of course, this alone wouldn't be enough; he would still need to offer an Immortal Herb to silence Qian Renxue at that time.
"Yanzi, are your hair and eye colors natural?"
Without much hesitation, he immediately began his plan, choosing to broach the topic by discussing her hair and pupil color.
He wasn't sure if her hair and pupil colors were natural, but Dugu Bo's eyes and hair were both green, while hers were both purple.
There was at least a certain possibility.
He suspected that the hair and pupil colors of their lineage were related to their Spirit and the absorption of spirit rings, but this was merely a guess.
"Ah?"
She looked utterly bewildered and subconsciously said, "No, why do you ask?"
He paused his steps.
"What's wrong?"
Dugu Bo also stopped, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
He hesitated, looking very conflicted.
She said impatiently, "Just say what you want to say. Is there anything we can't talk about between us?"
He tentatively asked, "Does your Spirit have a defect?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent rose in his heart.
However, he suppressed it in an instant.
He was even willing to share secrets like methods for enhancing Physique with them.
He wasn't that malicious.
She, on the other hand, was completely bewildered, because her current spirit power Rank was not high, and the accumulation of toxins had not yet reached the point of causing backlash effects.
And Dugu Bo, to prevent her from being affected, had never sensed the defect in her Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit.
"Grandpa?" She looked at Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo, however, looked at him and said directly, "The Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit indeed has a defect. If you have a solution, just say it directly; there's no need to beat around the bush."
He didn't believe that he truly had a solution for the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit.
After all, how old was he?
However, Dugu Bo now understood the probing in the other party's words.
Coupled with the fact that the other party could discover the true function of whale glue.
Dugu Bo still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, after all, what if?
The Spirit defect had troubled and tormented their family for many years.
If he truly had a solution, Dugu Bo would be laughing in his dreams.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She really hadn't expected that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit actually had a defect.
"Since that's the case, I won't hide anything anymore."
Seeing that Dugu Bo had no intention of getting angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, intending to reveal everything.
"I've known about the defect of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit for a long time, but you also understand the principle of 'speaking too freely with a new acquaintance.' I was also afraid that saying it out loud would provoke Senior's ill intentions."
Dugu Bo asked, "How did you know?"
He explained, "Both the effects of whale glue and the defect of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit were something I learned from an ancient book I found in a cave while chopping firewood on the back mountain."
"According to the ancient book, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit has a defect of toxin backlash."
"It manifests as unbearable itching and numbness in the ribs on rainy days, which gradually intensifies. If the accumulation of toxins is too deep, there will be an even more severe torment every three days."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.
Because his description was almost identical to his own experience.
Only a few details were missing.
Upon hearing this, she felt a chill in her heart, and her eyes, as she looked at Dugu Bo again, became somewhat hazy.
Grandpa must be in the most severe situation.
After all, he had Cultivated to the Titled Douluo Rank, so how could his toxin accumulation not be deep?
It was hard to imagine.
What kind of pain and torment Grandpa had endured all these years.
"Where is that ancient book now?"
In his joy, Dugu Bo didn't notice her gaze.
He shook his head helplessly.
"That ancient book has existed for an unknown number of years and has long since decayed. I only learned this information from some fragmented pages." Dugu Bo's face was full of regret upon hearing this.
He continued, "However, I did memorize all the information on the fragmented pages, including the method to resolve the defect of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up again, and he eagerly asked, "How do you resolve it?"
He said, "There are two solutions. The first can only treat the symptoms, while the second can treat the root cause. However, treating the root cause is very difficult and relies heavily on luck."
Dugu Bo asked, "How so?"
He said, "First, force all the toxins in the body into a Spirit Bone. This is a temporary solution that only alleviates the toxin backlash."
"Second, in some specific environments, some special Heaven And Earth Treasures will grow. Finding and consuming the corresponding Heaven And Earth Treasure can remedy the Spirit defect."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately fell silent.
The temporary solution was easy to talk about; after all, while Spirit Bones were precious, it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain one, it was merely a matter of quality.
However, this root-cause solution—
Special place—
He was able to advance to Titled Douluo by relying on a hot spring that could suppress the toxin backlash.
Indeed, many plants he didn't recognize grew there.
He wondered if that hot spring was the special place he mentioned, and if those plants he didn't recognize were the so-called Heaven And Earth Treasures.
"Then—never mind, I'll take you there."
Dugu Bo originally wanted to ask for a specific description of the special place and Heaven And Earth Treasures, but after thinking it over, wouldn't it be easier to just take him to see it?
"Ah?"
He feigned bewilderment and asked, "Where are we going?"
Dugu Bo said, "I know a place that might be the special place you mentioned. Many plants I don't recognize grow there, and perhaps they are Heaven And Earth Treasures."
His eyes lit up: "Let's go, let's go."
Dugu Bo said no more, immediately leading him and her to sprint towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With Dugu Bo personally leading them, the poisonous mist surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was naturally not an issue.
Passing through the poisonous mist, the three arrived above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Standing on the mountaintop and looking down, they could see an inverted cone-shaped mountain hollow.
Dense water mist emanated from the bottom of the hollow.
Even though it was broad daylight, they couldn't clearly see the situation at the bottom of the hollow.
And a sulfurous smell permeated the air.
Dugu Bo said, "There's a very unique hot spring at the bottom of this mountain hollow."
"The hot spring is red and blue."
"And it contains incredibly terrifying ice and fire power; even I dare not get too close."
"Many strange plants grow around the hot spring."
"Some were transplanted by me, and some originally grew here."
"Because I didn't recognize them, I never dared to touch them."
"Special environment plus special plants, I wonder if these are the Heaven And Earth Treasure you mentioned."
He said, "Whether they are or not, we'll know once we see them."
"Let's go."
Dugu Bo nodded, grabbing his and her shoulders with his left and right hands respectively.
He jumped directly down.
The howling wind messed up their hairstyles, and they didn't even dare to open their eyes.
Upon landing, the two finally opened their eyes.
Although the mist was thick, it was daytime, and the surrounding environment could be vaguely seen.
Various plants came into view.
The most striking was still the Yin and Yang hotpot-like Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the center.
Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Fierce Yang Apricot.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
His gaze swept around, and he quickly found many Immortal Herbs that matched the descriptions in his memory.
His heart was inevitably filled with joy and excitement.
"How is it?"
Dugu Bo looked at him with eager eyes, as it concerned whether his Spirit's defect could be resolved.
He nodded, "Yes, quite a few."
"Really?"
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
"Wait a moment."
He instructed, then walked to a large, leafless pink flower.
That was the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product.
With it, he dared to move freely within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Otherwise, he might not even know how he died.
After picking the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product, he came to a pile of dragon mushrooms.
There were many Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
However, none could promote Spirit evolution, unless their attributes were similar, then there might be a slim chance.
As for the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, that thing only had the word 'Dragon' in its name, but it was actually an earth attribute.
It had nothing to do with Dragons.
The only true Dragon-related items in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Fierce Yang Apricot, and dragon mushrooms of varying grades.
The former two grew under the nurturing of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's ice and fire power.
They did not possess the ability to promote Spirit evolution.
However, if the Spirit itself had ice and fire attributes, there might be some hope.
Dragon mushrooms were different.
They grew by absorbing the Ice and Fire Dragon King's Bloodline Power.
They were genuine Heaven And Earth Treasure containing Dragon Clan Bloodline.
Among them, the nine-rank dragon mushroom was the best of the dragon mushrooms; if a Dragon-type Spirit Master consumed it, the effect might not be much worse than an Immortal Herb.
Although Dugu Bo and his granddaughter did not have Dragon-type Spirits, Dragons were the highest-ranking Spirit Beasts in the Douluo World, and any beast could undergo dragonification by obtaining the Dragon Clan's Bloodline Power.
Spirit evolution and defect compensation should not be a big problem.
Speaking of which.
Even though there were dragon mushrooms most suitable for Dragon-type Spirit Masters, Tang San gave Yu Xiaogang purple dragon mushrooms.
Haha!
It was still that same saying: Tang San was merely inexperienced, not truly foolish.
The dragon mushrooms were blood-red.
There were rings of annual-ring-like patterns on the caps, representing their grade.
Perhaps because the Ice and Fire Dragon King was two.
There were only two nine-rank dragon mushrooms; all others were below nine-rank.
With a flick of his hand, a dagger appeared in his hand.
He squatted down and cut off the two nine-rank dragon mushrooms, leaving some of the root systems.
"Senior, Yanzi."
He came before the two and introduced, "This is the nine-rank dragon mushroom, containing the Bloodline Power of a top-tier Dragon Clan, which can help all Beast Spirits evolve."
"Spirit evolution?"
Dugu Bo and she were both shocked upon hearing this; that was Spirit evolution!
Spirit mutation was divided into benign and malignant.
Malignant was out of the question; only benign could be called evolution.
And it was evolving towards the Dragon-type.
Dragons were the most top-tier Spirit Beasts, their value was self-evident.
Dugu Bo said, "I'll go first."
Although he had a high degree of trust in him, he still didn't want his granddaughter to take this risk.
He would try it first, and if there were no problems, he would let Yan Yan consume it.
Dugu Bo took a nine-rank dragon mushroom, found an empty spot on the cliff edge, and sat down.
He consumed the nine-rank dragon mushroom and entered a state of meditation.
She looked at him with some worry, "There won't be any problems, will there?"
He comforted her, "Don't worry, dragon mushroom-class Heaven And Earth Treasure are pure tonics; there are no risks whatsoever. The only question is whether they can solve the Spirit's defect."
She breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He said, "Spirit evolution isn't that fast. You hold onto this nine-rank dragon mushroom for now."
She nodded and took the nine-rank dragon mushroom.
He then said, "There are so many good things here; you don't mind if I use a little, do you?"
She generously said, "Go ahead, use whatever you want."
If not for him, Grandpa would be purely sitting on a mountain of gold without realizing it.
Who knows which fellow would benefit from it in the future.
If they encountered someone with poor character, their grandfather and granddaughter might not even get a single hair.
"Alright!"
He stopped talking nonsense and immediately turned his gaze to the Fierce Yang Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
He approached within five meters.
The dagger in his hand suddenly shot out, accurately landing at the root of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass fell to the ground.
He then took out a jade dagger and used the same method to pick the Fierce Yang Apricot.
Both were Immortal Herbs, but the method of picking them was different.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had to be picked with an iron tool, otherwise its medicinal properties would be lost.
The Fierce Yang Apricot, however, required a jade tool.
"Li Tian!"
She called out his name with some worry, because she could clearly feel the terrifying energy emanating from those two Immortal Herbs.
Was this perhaps too risky?
He looked sideways, smiling as he comforted her, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Alright, then be careful."
Although she was still worried, she didn't continue to persuade him.
She believed he wasn't a fool.
As he nodded, his Spirit and spirit ring appeared, and with a thought, the Thousand Machine Umbrella dispersed into modules.
In an instant.
Those modules rearranged themselves, transforming into a long iron chain.
He grabbed the iron chain and flicked his wrist.
The iron chain coiled around the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, throwing it next to the Fierce Yang Apricot.
It was at that moment of contact.
A terrifying extreme cold power swept out, and the iron chain gradually froze into ice.
"!"
He flicked his wrist again, the iron chain disintegrated into modules, and the extreme cold power dissipated into nothingness.
Then all the modules also completely dissipated.
"Uh, Yanzi, turn around for a bit. I need to take off my clothes."
He approached and said to her.
When the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fierce Yang Apricot meet, their two extreme powers will be dispersed.
This was the best time to consume them.
This window of opportunity was very short; if missed, both Immortal Herbs would be ruined.
She rolled her eyes at him and turned her back.
He quickly stripped off all his clothes, picked up the two Immortal Herbs that had lost their extreme powers, and directly shoved them into his mouth.
The two Immortal Herbs melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a large amount of medicinal fluid that flowed into his abdomen.
He jumped into the spring eye from the intersection of ice and fire.
"Splash!"
She subconsciously turned her head, but he was nowhere to be seen.
However, from the ripples in the spring water, it was clear.
He must have jumped into that awe-inspiring spring water.
She was deep in thought.
She had known him for two years and naturally understood his personality.
It seemed then.
Those two unique plants must be the key to entering that spring eye.
But was it really feasible?
Despite having great confidence in him, she couldn't help but worry.
After all, what was written in books might not necessarily be correct.
If one step went wrong, his life would be gone.
Time passed.
He in the spring eye remained still, but Dugu Bo's side showed changes first.
Thick blood mist emerged from his body.
The blood mist condensed and did not disperse, only hovering within three feet around him.
In a short while.
He was completely enveloped in the blood mist.
Forming a ball of blood mist.
The bored Dugu Yan was instantly attracted by this change.
After an unknown amount of time.
The blood mist gradually dissipated, and Dugu Bo's figure reappeared.
"What is that?"
Her eyes widened, looking incredulously at the Spirit phantom behind her grandfather.
As everyone knew.
Beast Spirits were manifested through Spirit possession and could not appear independently like Tool Spirits.
Only a very few exceptions could do so.
Yet, at this moment, there was a distinct phantom behind Dugu Bo.
It was not his original Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Spirit.
Instead, it was a Dragon, a green Dragon-shaped Spirit with four legs on its belly and horns on its head.
Before she could get a closer look.
The phantom suddenly drilled into Dugu Bo's body, and then his body began to change.
Two small horns grew from his forehead.
His hands transformed into Dragon claws, and green scales grew on the backs of his hands, his arms, and even his entire unseen body.
Only his face remained untouched.
If he were naked, he would look as if he were wearing a suit of green scale armor.
"It really worked!"
Her joy was indescribable; she was so excited that she jumped up and down.
She could only see the superficial changes.
In addition to his Spirit evolving, Dugu Bo's spirit power also increased.
Reaching level ninety-three.
The improvement was not too significant, as the spirit power required for each level of Titled Douluo was immense.
"Hoo—"
Dugu Bo heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and slowly opened his eyes.
He had not lost consciousness during the evolution process.
The increase in spirit power and the changes in his Spirit were all within his perception. From the smile on his face, it was not hard to tell that he was very satisfied.
He raised his hand and looked at his Dragon claw.
Dugu Bo's smile grew even wider, but then it instantly turned into disappointment.
If only he had met Li Tian earlier.
Now, although his Spirit had evolved and his strength improved to a certain extent, his spirit ring slots were full, so the improvement wouldn't be significant.
"Grandpa!"
Seeing her grandfather wake up, she rushed forward, her face full of excitement.
Seeing her, Dugu Bo felt some comfort.
His spirit ring slots were indeed full, but her cultivation path had just begun.
She could completely switch to the attack system path.
Spirit evolution was not just a simple change in form.
It also granted him the attribute of Strength.
Strength was an attribute that no Dragon-type Spirit Beast lacked, merely a matter of degree.
And the Strength attribute he gained was not weak.
Coupled with the poison attribute as an auxiliary, the attack system path was completely viable.
Moreover.
The Spirit defect that had always plagued him was also resolved.
All the toxins accumulated in his body were extracted.
This extraction was not about being drawn out of the body, but rather integrated into his spirit power.
An integration that would not cause harm to the body.
It was considered an enhancement to the intensity of his spirit power.
Because of this, he might consider enhancing his Strength by creating his own Spirit Abilities.
However, the difficulty was quite high.
"Huh, where's Li Tian?"
Dugu Bo glanced around but did not see him.
She said, "In the spring eye."
"What?"
Dugu Bo was greatly alarmed and stood up abruptly.
She said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Before he went down, he consumed two special plants. He must have had some confidence to do that."
Although she said this, she was equally worried inside.
Because it had been too long.
Submerged in the spring eye for so long, even if he wasn't devoured by that terrifying power.
He should have suffocated to death, right?
Dugu Bo frowned tightly.
No one knew how terrifying that spring eye was better than him; even at the Titled Douluo level, he didn't dare to approach it, let alone jump directly into it.
How many levels was he?
Could such a disparity truly be compensated for by just two plants?
"Grandpa, the Spirit defect?"
To prevent her grandfather from worrying too much, she tried to change the subject.
Dugu Bo said, "Not only is the Spirit defect resolved, but Grandpa also gained the Strength attribute. You can now switch to the attack system."
She was ecstatic.
Dugu Bo said, "Who knows how long that kid will take to come out. You should consume the dragon mushroom and evolve first. By the time you're done, he should be almost ready."
"Okay."
She knew her grandfather was comforting himself, so she didn't say anything more.
She sat down, ate the dragon mushroom, and began to evolve.
He had fallen unconscious the moment he jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With the help of the two Immortal Herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
His body underwent tempering from the inside out, and his Physique Strength greatly improved.
At the same time.
After being tempered by extreme fire and extreme ice, he no longer feared any ice or fire power.
Of course.
The fearlessness here only meant that it couldn't harm him; controlling it was impossible.
Just like Tang San.
Although he possessed the ability to be immune to ice and fire, he could still be frozen by Shui Bing'er.
"Gurgle gurgle—"
He regained consciousness the next day, but as soon as he woke, he choked on water.
He had forgotten he was in the water.
He quickly closed his mouth and swam upwards, greedily breathing fresh air after surfacing.
Dugu Bo: "..."
He had been observing the spring eye, so he naturally noticed him immediately.
This young fellow was truly extraordinary.
The spring eye, which he himself dared not venture into, seemed like ordinary lake water in the other's eyes.
