Half an hour later.
At this moment, Lin Chen was covered in sweat, and even his back was completely drenched.
But he still persisted in circulating his spirit power, maintaining control over the proper heat intensity.
Currently, his Spirit Power Level was still too low, only at level fifteen; if his level were ten or twenty levels higher, refining medicinal pills wouldn't be so exhausting.
The next moment.
A mellow medicinal fragrance slowly wafted out from the lid of the alchemy furnace. Seeing this, a joyful smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
This pill was finally almost finished; hard work truly paid off.
The impending formation of the pill gave Lin Chen more motivation. He channeled more spirit power into the alchemy furnace and increased the heat, wanting to complete the pill as soon as possible.
As Lin Chen increased the input of spirit power, the medicinal fragrance became even richer, carrying a crisp, herbal scent.
Lin Chen focused his mind and held his breath, observing the state of the alchemy furnace while steadily inputting spirit power, not daring to make even the slightest error.
Suddenly, the alchemy furnace emitted a slight hum, and the body of the furnace began to vibrate slightly.
With a thought, Lin Chen quickly withdrew his spirit power, and the heat weakened just at the right moment until the flames gradually died out.
"It's finally done."
Lin Chen murmured to himself, his heart filled with joy.
Immediately after.
Lin Chen opened the alchemy furnace and took out a round and plump medicinal pill.
The body of the pill shimmered with a faint purple fluorescence, and its fragrance filled the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Seeing the pill formed, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan quickly moved to Lin Chen's side, their eyes fixed on the round and plump pill in his hand.
"Sister Yanzi, this is a pill suitable for you."
"After taking it and refining its medicinal power, not only will the problem of the toxin backlash in your body be resolved, but your Spirit will also evolve because of it."
Lin Chen handed the purple-shimmering pill to Dugu Yan and said to her.
Taking the pill from Lin Chen, Dugu Yan's heart was full of joy, and her beautiful eyes were filled with delight as she looked at him.
"Little Brat, thank you."
Dugu Yan expressed her gratitude sincerely, with a trace of imperceptible admiration hidden deep in her eyes.
This boy full of secrets—Dugu Yan admitted that her heart had been moved.
"No need, we each get what we need. Since your problem is solved, it's time for Senior Dugu to fulfill his promise."
Lin Chen glanced at Dugu Yan, then turned his gaze toward Dugu Bo.
"Kid Lin Chen, rest assured. Although my reputation outside is poor, I repay my debts of gratitude."
"Once Yan Yan's toxin backlash problem is resolved later, I will naturally keep my word regarding the three things I promised you."
Seeing Lin Chen's gaze, Dugu Bo patted his chest and made a promise to him.
Hearing this, Lin Chen felt completely at ease. Once Dugu Yan had fully resolved the toxin backlash and her Spirit had evolved...
He, Lin Chen, should also start using the Immortal Herbs to refine his own pills and allow his Spirit to completely transform.
Lin Chen knew Dugu Bo's character; since he promised in front of Dugu Yan, it meant the Immortal Herbs Lin Chen needed wouldn't go anywhere.
Holding the myriad poison dragon transformation bone shedding pill in her hand, Dugu Yan found a spot to sit cross-legged and slowly consumed the pill.
Dugu Bo stood guard nearby, worried that problems might arise during Dugu Yan's refining process.
As soon as the pill entered her mouth, Dugu Yan felt a warm current surge directly into her body, flowing through her internal organs and all her limbs and bones.
As the medicinal power of the pill was refined by Dugu Yan, the meridians in her body began to widen and be reshaped.
Her meridians became several times tougher than before, and the spirit power flowing through them was incredibly smooth.
All sorts of incredible things were happening inside Dugu Yan's body, and her Spirit Power Level was also constantly rising as her Spirit gradually changed.
A few hours later.
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with joy.
During these few hours, she had completely refined the pill and undergone a total transformation.
Not only had her Spirit Power Level broken through to level thirty, requiring only one spirit ring to become a Spirit Elder...
But after reaching Spirit Elder, she might even have a chance to jump straight to Spirit Ancestor; after all, the medicinal power of this pill was truly terrifying.
What delighted Dugu Yan the most wasn't the increase in Spirit Power Level, but the evolution of her Spirit.
With this thought, Dugu Yan began to summon her Spirit.
A phantom of a purple poisonous dragon appeared above Dugu Yan, radiating a terrifying dragon pressure.
The moment Dugu Yan's Spirit appeared, Dugu Bo, who was nearby, felt this aura and actually experienced a suppression of his own Spirit.
This caused his eyes to widen instantly, filled with shock and ecstatic joy at the same time.
His Spirit was the Jade Phosphor Serpent, which was already considered a top-tier Spirit; the fact that Dugu Yan's Spirit could suppress his meant it was a superior version of his own.
With a Spirit superior to the Jade Phosphor Serpent, Dugu Yan would surely become a Titled Douluo in the future, and might even have a chance to aim for super Douluo among Titled Douluos.
Now, Dugu Bo no longer had any worries, as long as he continued to protect Dugu Yan for a few more decades.
By then, even if he passed away, his granddaughter wouldn't have to fear being bullied by others.
"Grandpa, my Spirit has evolved! It's no longer the Jade Phosphor Serpent; it should now be called the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor!"
"Furthermore, my Spirit Power Level has broken through to level thirty, and the residual spirit power in my body can even help me reach Spirit Ancestor."
Dugu Yan trotted over to Dugu Bo to share her joy with him.
After listening, Dugu Bo gave a gratified smile and patted Dugu Yan's head, looking proud.
"As expected of my granddaughter, truly impressive."
After finishing her talk with Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan looked at Lin Chen again, trotted over, and gave him a big hug.
Being tightly hugged by Dugu Yan, Lin Chen's face was squashed by her slightly developed snow-white curves, leaving him feeling both helpless and excited.
"Little Brat, thank you so much."
"By the way, Little Brat, why don't you help my grandpa solve his toxin backlash problem too?"
"If you can solve it, I won't have any objection even if you pluck all the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
After the hug, Dugu Yan pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well behind her and spoke to Lin Chen.
Now her problem was solved, but her grandfather Dugu Bo's toxin backlash problem remained unresolved.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen glanced at Dugu Yan and voiced his doubt.
"Haha, kid Lin Chen, what Yan Yan says is naturally what I say."
"If you can help me resolve my Spirit's flaw, you may take any of the Immortal Herbs in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as you please."
Dugu Bo came over to the two of them, laughing heartily and speaking loudly.
If Lin Chen were just a stranger, Dugu Bo naturally wouldn't be so generous.
But his granddaughter clearly had feelings for the boy, and Dugu Bo also had the intention of playing matchmaker.
Although Lin Chen was young, it didn't matter; at worst, he could let Yan Yan raise him, and he was sure his granddaughter would be quite happy to do so.
Once they both reached a certain age, they could just get married and enter the bridal chamber."
