On the third day after Dugu Bo left, Yu Yan took some time to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of his third spirit ring.
Sun and Moon Radiance: Eternal Calamity.
The Ice and Fire Twin Fish transformed into the sun and moon, hovering high in the sky. Simultaneously, they radiated brilliance that enveloped his surroundings, forming a special symbiotic auxiliary energy field.
The most basic function of this Fusion skill was that the original Spirit Ability effects of the third spirit ring's Ice and Fire Twin Fish would double when used as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
When allies passed through the Moon Eclipse field, any negative status effects on them would be cleared and frozen. These negative effects would then be copied and stored as [moon eclipse marks]. Subsequently, one could choose to reverse the [moon eclipse marks] through the sun and moon, transforming them into buff effects to be applied to allies within the Sun Manifestation field.
For example, poisoning could be converted into health regeneration, and negative curses into positive buffs. The degree of conversion was determined by Yu Yan's own condition.
The core ability of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was the Sun-Moon Resonance.
With Sun-Moon Resonance, the Moon Eclipse and Sun Manifestation merged into one, allowing a chosen target to receive the Twin Blessings.
While under the Twin Blessings state, one could not only block a full-power attack from a Spirit Master no more than 20 ranks higher than Yu Yan with 100% certainty, but also receive a temporary 200% boost to all attributes.
Both Spirit abilities of the third spirit ring were auxiliary types, so the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was naturally an auxiliary-type Fusion skill based on those two, and its effects were naturally extremely powerful.
Yu Yan was naturally extremely happy with such effects, but there was also something he wasn't quite happy about: this Martial Soul Fusion Skill came with an incantation.
To use the third Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he had to shout a chuunibyou-style incantation that made him feel a bit embarrassed.
The only saving grace was that his incantation wasn't lewd or perverted.
'the frost moon ferries through worldly calamities, the radiant sun shapes a new life; Within this realm, I shall turn the tide of all things.'
'the frost moon ferries through worldly calamities' referred to the ability to clear negative status effects within the Moon Eclipse field.
'the radiant sun shapes a new life' referred to the ability to obtain buff effects within the Sun Manifestation field.
'Within this realm, I shall turn the tide of all things' meant that within the boundary, Yu Yan could reverse the situation.
After confirming the specific effects of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Yu Yan immersed himself in cultivation once again. A four-fold cultivation speed was simply too satisfying.
Time passed, and more than half a month later, Dugu Bo, whose condition had clearly improved significantly, arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo landed and used his spirit power to form a protective shield, shielding his granddaughter from the impact of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After quietly asking if she was alright, he turned to Yu Yan and shouted, "Yu Yan Kid, hurry up and use the crystal dragon blood ginseng to help my granddaughter's Spirit evolve!"
During this trip home, besides collecting Whale Dragons, Dugu Bo had also taken the opportunity to tell Dugu Yan the secret of their family's Spirit and the reason why he was away from home year-round.
Dugu Yan was scared half to death upon hearing about the terrifying Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison for the first time, and she became lost and confused about her future.
However, Dugu Yan soon heard the solution from Dugu Bo—the evolution method using the crystal dragon blood ginseng provided by Yu Yan.
Standing beside Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan curiously sized up this little boy who was three years younger than her. He was clearly younger, yet he knew so much, and his Spirit Power Level was even higher than hers.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll start preparing the Immortal Herb immediately."
Yu Yan hadn't expected Dugu Bo to bring his granddaughter along, but he agreed readily. This was a condition they had agreed upon long ago; since Dugu Bo was asking him to fulfill the requirement, he naturally had no objection.
The supplementary herbs needed to maximize the medicinal power of the crystal dragon blood ginseng were all available in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the method to maximize the potency found in the bamboo slips he had obtained previously wasn't difficult either.
On the third day after Dugu Bo left, Yu Yan took some time to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of his third spirit ring.

"Senior Dugu, I need a sealed Medicine Cauldron."
Having no tools on hand, Yu Yan made his request to Dugu Bo.
As the current top poison expert on the Douluo Continent, how could Dugu Bo not have a Medicine Cauldron? After searching through his storage space for a bit, he successfully found a three-legged Medicine Cauldron.
After cleaning the Medicine Cauldron, Yu Yan threw the main ingredient, the crystal dragon blood ginseng, the supplementary herb, nine-ranked purple ganoderma, and dozens of other herbs into the cauldron and sealed it. Then, he ignited a fire and began boiling the medicine.
The effects of the crystal dragon blood ginseng need no further explanation, as they have been mentioned many times before.
The nine-ranked purple ganoderma was the finest among lingzhi mushrooms, possessing the effects of strengthening the foundation, nurturing the primary energy, and enhancing one's cultivation progress.
By putting these two herbs together, the mild-natured nine-ranked purple ganoderma could maximize the medicinal properties of the crystal dragon blood ginseng. It could also help the consumer cleanse their marrow and refine their bones, allowing for better absorption of the medicinal power.
The other herbs were added to help the medicinal properties of the two main herbs fuse more effectively.
The boiling process was intended to extract all the medicinal essence and dragon blood from the crystal dragon blood ginseng, allowing the two to merge together.
After taking a Medicinal Pill to suppress the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged near the Medicine Cauldron, clearing out the accumulated Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison within his body.
Yu Yan, meanwhile, controlled the flames enveloping the Medicine Cauldron to ensure a steady supply of fire and maintain the high temperature inside.
"Um, Yu Yan, regarding my family's situation... thank you so much."
Looking at her grandfather, who was emitting green gas, Dugu Yan approached Yu Yan as he boiled the medicine and awkwardly expressed her gratitude.
Because she had never expressed gratitude to an outsider before, Dugu Yan's words were intermittent and sounded somewhat lacking in confidence.
"This matter is a transaction between Senior Dugu Bo and me. I have already obtained what I wanted from it. This herb garden is of immense help to me. Um... if I'm being honest, I'm the one who got the better end of the deal."
Yu Yan's attention was entirely on the Medicine Cauldron before him. His spirit power permeated the cauldron, and every single change within was under his control.
"Perhaps from your perspective, you got the better deal, but from mine, it's Grandpa and I who got the better deal. Regardless, I still want to say thank you."
Sitting down beside Yu Yan, Dugu Yan emphasized her reason for wanting to express her thanks and said it once more.
"Fair enough, then I'll accept your thanks."
Yu Yan's single sentence effectively ended the conversation. Dugu Yan, who was already not very talkative, didn't know what to say for a moment after Yu Yan's remark.
Yu Yan's attention remained fully on the Medicine Cauldron. He had to ensure that the changes inside matched what was written in the bamboo slips; he simply didn't have the luxury of talking.
After both fell silent, the only sounds near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, besides their breathing, were the crackling of the rising flames on the fire fish.
Sitting beside Yu Yan, Dugu Yan's mind was in a mess. The main reason for her confusion was that on the way there, her grandfather Dugu Bo had asked if she had any feelings for Yu Yan and if she wanted to be with him.
Having investigated Yu Yan's entire history, Dugu Bo was very satisfied with him—satisfied enough that he wanted his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, to marry this outstanding and extremely fine young man immediately.
Dugu Yan hadn't agreed right away, nor had she immediately refused. She said she needed to think it over, as it was no small matter after all.
Knowing that his granddaughter wasn't resistant to the idea, Dugu Bo had said many good things about Yu Yan.
