Lin Xiao walked to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, avoiding the confluence of extreme cold and heat at the center of the spring and choosing a relatively mild location.
He carefully dug the soil and gently planted the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor.
The unique aura of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was undoubtedly the best growing environment for plant-type spirit beasts.
"Let it grow well here for now,"
Lin Xiao muttered to himself, observing the swaying Blue Silver Emperor.
He hadn't yet fully decided what to do with it.
Should he cultivate it as a future aid? Or...
Lin Xiao shook his head, temporarily putting these thoughts aside.
Right now, the most important thing was to retreat, create his own cultivation method, and improve his own strength.
Time flew by, and three months passed in a flash.
A emerald green figure appeared beside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, like a ghost. It was Dugu Bo, who had returned.
Compared to when he last left, he seemed dusty and exhausted, but his spirits were unusually high.
Behind him, he dragged a massive creature, now sprawled on the ground, barely breathing.
It was an earth dragon soul beast, over six meters long, a khaki-colored beast with three pointed horns.
Its massive body was covered in a rock-like, scaly armor, giving it an air of indestructibility.
Particularly striking was the strange golden stripes that covered the khaki armor.
"Little monster, I'm back." "
I didn't find you the ten-thousand-year soul beast, but this six-thousand-year-old golden-veined rockhorn dragon is considered one of the rarest species among earth-attributed dragon soul beasts."
Dugu Bo's signature loud voice rang out, and the tightly closed door of the wooden house swung open.
Lin Xiao appeared at the doorway. Three months of seclusion hadn't made him look haggard; instead, his eyes had become deeper and brighter.
His gaze was immediately drawn to the peculiar soul beast sprawled on the ground.
A golden-veined rockhorn dragon.
Almost instantly, information about this soul beast surfaced in Lin Xiao's mind.
Legend has it that this powerful soul beast contained a trace of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline.
It was renowned for its unparalleled defensive capabilities, and it could even control gravity and the pure power of the earth.
A flicker of unconcealed surprise flashed across his eyes.
This soul beast seemed tailor-made for him.
But he quickly collected his thoughts and turned his attention to the dusty Dugu Bo.
Although the soul beast was powerless, it wouldn't die anytime soon, so there was no need to rush.
"Thank you, Senior Dugu, for your concern. This soul beast is perfectly suited to me."
"I have fulfilled your mission. I have already deduced the cultivation method you require."
With that, he pulled a thick sheaf of paper from his "Space Soul Guidance Ring."
Dugu Bo's movements were so swift that they were almost invisible, snatching it from Lin Xiao's hands in an instant.
He eagerly glanced down, his gaze first landing on the bold, flamboyantly written characters on the cover.
"The Jade Scales and Hundred Poisons Scripture?"
Dugu Bo recited it subconsciously, then chuckled.
"Hey, what a domineering name! I like it!"
He quickly flipped to the first page and continued reading. The opening few general sentences made his heart suddenly tremble.
"The Jade Scales surge, the source of poison arises..."
"The hundred meridians infect the soul-refining essence..."
"Using poison as the foundation, the Yuan Ding is forged..."
"All poisons unite to suppress the evil court..."
Dugu Bo's breathing gradually became heavier, his eyes shifting from initial anticipation and curiosity to astonishment, and finally to disbelief and shock.
He quickly flipped through the pages.
The detailed maps of meridian points, the complex yet clearly organized routes for the flow of soul power, and even the ingenious concept of condensing a so-called "Green Scale Poison Pill" in the dantian...
everything seemed to open the door to a brand new world for him.
It opened his eyes to a cultivation path he had never imagined, yet one that seemed perfectly suited to the Green Phosphorus Snake spirit.
This... this was a truly revolutionary creation!
He suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Lin Xiao, his emerald eyes filled with excitement and disbelief.
"This... this 'Green Scale Hundred Poisons Manual', can it really cure the poison in us, both grandfather and grandson?"
Lin Xiao met his eager and hopeful gaze and nodded calmly.
"Senior Dugu, rest assured. This technique is more than just about detoxification."
"It's based on your own Green Scale Snake venom, incorporating more and stronger poisons to continuously refine the 'Green Scale Poison Pill.'
" "Simply put, the more poison you carry, the stronger you will become."
"However... numerous meridians and acupoints are involved, and the slightest mistake could lead to insanity."
"For you and Senior Dugu's first practice, it would be best if you had the help of Master Ye. In case of injury, you can quickly heal."
"Once you become proficient in the technique and consume the immortal herbs, your strength will surely increase significantly. I'll be relying on you from now on."
Dugu Bo, calming himself after listening to Lin Xiao's introduction, said.
"Great, great! I didn't expect to owe Old Man Ye another favor, hahaha."
"Don't worry, little monster! I, Dugu Bo, mean what I say. When Yanyan and I are no longer troubled by snake venom, I will follow your lead." "
You absorb this soul ring first! Then we will set off to return to Tiandou City as soon as possible."
Lin Xiao nodded and did not delay any longer.
He took a deep breath, walked to the dying golden-veined rock horn dragon, and gave it the final blow directly.
A circle of deep purple soul ring slowly rose from the body of the golden-veined rock horn dragon.
Lin Xiao sat down cross-legged, without any hesitation, and immediately circulated his soul power to guide the soul ring slowly towards himself.
The process of the soul ring integrating into the body was extremely smooth.
Lin Xiao's current physical strength, after being tempered by the fairy grass and nourished by the soul bones, has already reached the level of a soul king.
Not to mention that he had taken the [Wangchuanqiushuilu] some time ago, and his mental strength had made a qualitative leap, enough to withstand the impact of higher-year soul rings.
Absorbing a six thousand year old soul ring was not too stressful for him.
However, this dragon soul beast is indeed hard to find. , especially the one that matches one's own attributes.
Dugu Bo was extremely lucky to find this golden-veined rock-horned dragon, and he could only make do with its age for the time being.
Time passed slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, the deep purple soul ring's light was completely restrained and completely integrated into Lin Xiao's body.
Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
However, his brows knitted slightly, almost imperceptibly, and a strange look appeared in his expression.
Although the third soul ring was successfully condensed
, the attributes began to become unbalanced and repelled.
The first soul ring came from the ancient dragon blood tree and was of the wood element.
The second soul ring came from the red flame dragon and was of the fire element.
And this third soul ring came from the golden-veined rock-horned dragon and was of the earth element.
Wood, fire, and earth. Three soul rings, three attributes.
Especially the age of this third soul ring, which far exceeded the previous two soul rings.
