A few days later, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Dugu Yan, comparing her notes with the immortal herb scroll in her hand, began to identify all the Immortal Herbs, exclaiming:
"Assembled Heavenly Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Bone, Qiluo Golden Fragrance, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Serene Fragrance Qiluo Immortal Product, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower…"
"Grandpa, Xiao Li, it turns out that many of the plants growing in our Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are Immortal Herbs, extremely rare, and difficult to obtain even one."
At this point, Dugu Yan suddenly glared at Wang Li, and said with lingering fear:
"What Xiao Li ate back then was very likely the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the lie huo xing jiao su. Together, they can temper the body, but separately, they are potent Ice Poison and Fire Poison that can be fatal!"
Wang Li found it hard to explain. He had known from the start that eating these two together wouldn't kill anyone, so he chuckled twice and said:
"There was no other way back then, but the outcome was good. My Spirit mutated again, evolving into the Blue Silver King, and I even awakened a Domain, and successfully helped Grandpa suppress the severe poison."
Dugu Yan snorted lightly upon hearing Wang Li's sophistry and ignored him, but she made up her mind that she couldn't let Wang Li eat Immortal Herbs randomly anymore. If he was to eat them, he could only eat the ones he recognized. Who knew if unfamiliar ones would be poisonous?
At this moment, Dugu Bo squatted in front of the Assembled Heavenly Chrysanthemum, looking at it repeatedly, and finally slapped his thigh, saying:
"No wonder that dead eunuch Chrysanthemum Pass restrains me so severely. It turns out his Spirit is not an ordinary chrysanthemum, but an Immortal Herb."
The slow-witted Dugu Bo only now realized why he had been bullied so badly for so many years.
Not long after, Dugu Yan said again:
"Grandpa, I found the large gourd Xiao Li mentioned earlier. The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd is indeed an earth-attribute Immortal Herb with the power of the Earth Dragon. Its abundant earth attribute can strengthen the body, but Grandpa is not an attack system Spirit Master who relies on physical strength, so it doesn't seem to be a good match."
Wang Li, hearing this, also expressed his thoughts:
"Previously, using my Blue Silver Domain, I sensed a small flower over there that can increase toxicity tenfold or even a hundredfold. If Grandpa first eats the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd to enhance his body and transform it, and then eats that small flower to boost his toxicity and improve his strength, this plan should work."
Dugu Yan went over to look for the small flower Wang Li mentioned. After finding it, her eyes widened, and she shook her head repeatedly:
"No, absolutely not. This plant is called the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss. It's an Immortal Herb, but also a poisonous herb. Its medicinal property is that before its potency is exhausted, it can increase the inherent toxins and bacteria tenfold or a hundredfold. The stronger the inherent toxins and bacteria, the more terrifying its effect. With the severe poison on Grandpa's body, his life would probably be in danger."
Both of their conversations were overheard by Dugu Bo. The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd and the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, one to enhance the body, the other to increase toxicity – he was somewhat tempted. No Spirit Master doesn't long to become stronger.
However, he was also someone who cherished his life and would not easily risk it. He said with a smile:
"No need to argue back and forth. What's most important now is not me, but Yan Yan. If you are ready, then begin absorbing the Yearning Heartbroken Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Xiao Li and I will guard you. Yan Yan, whether we can improve the flaws of our Bi Lin Snake Spirit depends on these two supreme Immortal Herbs."
A look of determination appeared on Dugu Yan's face. She put away the immortal herb scroll, took out the Yearning Heartbroken Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and said solemnly:
"I'm ready!"
Then she sat down on the spot, gave Wang Li a deep look, and began to absorb them.
First was the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Dugu Yan bit through its outer skin, sucked its blood-red juice, and finally ate its entire trunk.
At this time, Dugu Yan's skin also turned a blood-red color, smoke rose from her head, and sweat poured down her face, showing how incredibly nourishing the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was.
Next was the Yearning Heartbroken Red. She loved this flower, but she loved Wang Li even more. To be able to stand better by Wang Li's side, she ate this flower without hesitation.
She first ate its pistil, then its petals, one by one. As the king of flowers and a supreme Immortal Herb, the Yearning Heartbroken Red only recognizes one master in its lifetime.
Even when being eaten, it was willing and began to release its medicinal power, protecting Dugu Yan's body from harm.
After consuming both Immortal Herbs, Dugu Yan's body emitted a golden-red light. The two Immortal Herbs complemented each other. At this moment, Dugu Yan's body, inside and out, began a complete transformation.
The medicinal power diffused, melting into her limbs, internal organs, bones, meridians, Dantian, Spirit…
A little bit of tempering, a little bit of correction!
Meanwhile, outside!
Dugu Bo and Wang Li remained silent, avoiding disturbing Dugu Yan. They each found a spot to sit down, awaiting the final result.
One hour, two hours, three hours…
Until twelve hours had passed!
Above Dugu Yan's head, a green snake shadow appeared, cold and eerie, devoid of any emotion. This was Dugu Yan's Bi Lin Snake Spirit.
Soon, changes appeared on the snake shadow. Its scales intertwined, becoming denser and more transparent, like green crystal. Dragon horns grew on its head, resembling a crown, and its snake eyes became cold and majestic, looking down on all beings with indifference.
It did not grow dragon claws, nor was it a true dragon form, but its aura and presence were definitely those of a top-tier Beast Spirit.
Suddenly, the snake shadow descended, merging back into Dugu Yan's body. She instinctively completed her Spirit possession, still retaining her human body and snake tail, but the crystal-like scales on her body were like a close-fitting armor, and the rhomboid crystals on her forehead extended to both sides, as if they were dragon horns and a crown.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple. Four spirit rings appeared in succession, pulsating rapidly, circling up and down.
This represented her strength as a four-ring Spirit Ancestor, but immediately after, another spirit ring emerged from her body.
It was white at first, but not long after, it turned yellow. This time, after a long while, it turned purple, and as time passed, the purple became deeper and deeper, until finally, a deep black appeared within the purple.
Dugu Bo and Wang Li were both stunned. Dugu Bo was certain that his granddaughter's Spirit had undergone a transformation, but how did it even transform into a spirit ring?
This was also incorrect. Previously, Dugu Yan was only a forty-first-level spirit power Spirit Ancestor; it was still too early for her to obtain her next spirit ring.
Wang Li sometimes frowned, sometimes relaxed.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, these two Immortal Herbs, had even transformed Xiao Wu back into human form after her sacrifice.
Now, if they only helped Dugu Yan improve her Spirit quality and increase her spirit power by ten levels, it seemed a bit unreasonable. Giving her the most suitable spirit ring as well, that indeed seemed quite logical.
