After arranging Xiao Wu's food, clothing, and accommodation, Ning Bei planned to visit Dugu Yan, mainly to check if the Immortal Herb that the Ten Thousand Demon King mentioned existed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Familiar with the road, Ning Bei set off from Seven Treasure City and arrived at the small town on the edge of Sunset Forest, heading straight for Dugu Bo's courtyard.
"Yanzi, I've come to see you."
The 14-year-old Dugu Yan had already grown into a graceful young woman. Her chest was no longer as flat as it had been in previous years, showing some development. She skillfully jumped onto Ning Bei, who caught her, and offered her fragrant kiss.
"A Bei, didn't you say you were going to get your sixth Spirit Ring? Have you succeeded?"
Putting down Dugu Yan, Ning Bei looked at the woman in front of him. He had to admit that the teenagers of Douluo Continent grew up really fast. According to Oscar's theory, Oscar would have already been born at his father's age.
"That's right, I have successfully obtained my sixth Spirit Ring. You can call me Emperor Ning."
The woman rolled her beautiful eyes. Over the years, she had become accustomed to Ning Bei's occasional antics.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Emperor Ning, can this little girl see your sixth Spirit Ring?"
Last year, Ning Bei had already told Dugu Yan about the true wonders of his Spirit. At that time, she had blamed him for deceiving her for a long time, so there was no need to hide it now.
"It is a 40,000-year Pure Water Mystic Turtle Spirit Ring, which can now produce a kind of pill called Spirit Battle Pill, which can increase a Soul King's Soul Power by one level. Aren't you about to break through to Soul King soon? You can take it then."
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up as she listened to Ning Bei's introduction. The feeling of leveling up without cultivating was simply too good. She took the jade bottle Ning Bei handed over, gave him a look that said 'you know what's good for you', and then pulled Ning Bei into the house.
Dugu Bo was concocting poison in the house when he saw the two walking in hand in hand and shifted his gaze over.
"You brat is here? How is it? Have you become a Soul Emperor?"
"Grandpa Dugu, hello, that's right, I am already a Soul Emperor."
The Dugu Yan beside him teased:
"Grandpa, you have to pay attention to your wording, he said, you have to call him Emperor Ning now."
Dugu Bo almost couldn't hold back his smile.
"Oh? Is that so? Then this old man will change his address?"
Ning Bei glanced at Dugu Yan, do you have to tear down your own man's stage like this? He then looked at Dugu Bo with an awkward smile.
"There's no need, it's still the same as before, 'kid' sounds very nice."
After the three of them chatted for a while, Dugu Bo also learned about the wonders of Ning Bei's sixth Spirit Ring, lamenting why he hadn't met a cheat like Ning Bei on his life's path to help him take off on the spot.
Then he also looked forward to Ning Bei's level getting higher and higher. Maybe there would be pills suitable for Titled Douluo in the future. At that time, he would be considered to have attained the Dao, and even his chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven.
"Grandpa Dugu, take me to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again, I need to find a medicinal herb inside."
Dugu Bo's heart suddenly sounded an alarm when he heard Ning Bei's words. Do you want to cut my leeks again?
"Boy, what fart are you holding back this time?"
Ning Bei obviously knew what Dugu Bo was thinking and honestly said:
"I need to find a herb with blue-purple stamens. It can help my Soul Beast evolve its bloodline, but it is ineffective for humans, and it may also be highly poisonous."
Dugu Bo nodded after hearing his explanation. If Ning Bei's Soul Beast became stronger, Yanzi would be safer following him in the future, and he also put away that stinginess in his heart.
"Okay, let's take a trip."
Saying that, he took Ning Bei and Dugu Yan and flew directly towards the depths of the forest.
Skillfully passing through the poisonous fog, the Yin Yang Well once again came into view.
"Find it yourself, I won't disturb you."
Ning Bei nodded and came to the pile of herbs, beginning to scan.
Before long, he really did find an herb in a corner that matched the Ten Thousand Demon King's description, with a purplish-blue pistil, somewhat like a poppy.
Ning Bei excitedly came to the herb and summoned the Pill Tower, placing it inside.
The name "Carved Leaf Purple Immortal Violet" flashed into Ning Bei's mind. A highly poisonous substance, it had a chance to sublimate the life level of plants, but would kill humans who consumed it.
Dugu Yan, seeing Ning Bei's exceptionally excited expression after storing the herb, also came to his side, and Dugu Bo also turned his gaze over.
"A Bei, how is it? Is it the herb you're looking for?"
Ning Bei turned back and nodded.
"It's this. This way, my Demon Eye Magic Tree might be able to complete its transformation."
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up!"
Under the curious gazes of the grandfather and granddaughter, Ning Bei summoned the Demon Eye Magic Tree from the Pill Tower.
A tree nearly ten meters tall, with purple branches, appeared before the three.
After Yao Yao came out, it scanned its surroundings, its tree eyes looking at Ning Bei in confusion, as if saying, Why are you disturbing my cultivation? It doesn't seem like there's a battle going on.
Ning Bei sighed inwardly. As expected of a plant-type Soul Beast, it really has patience. If you don't call it, it could stay in the Pill Tower forever.
Without explaining, Ning Bei directly took out the Carved Leaf Purple Immortal Violet and placed it in front of Yao Yao.
Yao Yao's tree pupils never left Ning Bei's hand again. This herb had a fatal attraction for it.
Immediately, its branches danced wildly, seemingly asking Ning Bei if this herb was for it.
Ning Bei nodded and directly handed the Carved Leaf Purple Immortal Violet to it.
Yao Yao didn't decline in the slightest and swallowed the herb in one gulp.
Then, it rooted itself in the ground and began to absorb the medicinal power.
Next was just waiting.
Dugu Bo looked at the Demon Eye Magic Tree, which had entered a state of cultivation, and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Where did you learn that this herb could evolve plant-type Soul Beasts?"
Ning Bei gave Dugu Bo a mysterious look, deciding to scare him.
"A Demon Eye Magic Tree senior with 500,000 years of cultivation told me. Yao Yao is its descendant, and it entrusted me to nurture it."
Dugu Bo's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"You're spouting nonsense, kid! How could there be a 500,000-year-old Soul Beast?"
Thinking about it, it wasn't strange. Dugu Bo would have to run if he saw a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, let alone dare to act recklessly in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"It's true, and the Emerald Swan was also given to me by a senior with over 500,000 years of cultivation."
Ning Bei's meaning was, be more careful with me in the future, I have more than just two Titled Douluos behind me.
Dugu Bo clicked his tongue as he looked at Ning Bei.
"You little monster, you only run into old monsters."
You're the monster, your whole family are monsters! Uh, never mind, I should be considered part of his family now, right?
Yao Yao took longer to absorb the medicinal herbs than Ning Bei had imagined. Seven days passed just like that, and it was still rooted there, unmoving. This even made Sword Douluo come over for a visit, afraid that Ning Bei had encountered some danger. Seeing that he was just helping a Soul Beast advance, he returned to the sect reassured.
On the eighth day, Yao Yao finally showed some movement while the others were waiting.
