The effects of the Divine Grade treasure, king of Immortal Herbs, Yearning Heartbroken Red, gradually became apparent. Xiao Wu's Spirit Power Level soared at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaping from Rank 34 to 40 in the blink of an eye.
The speed of her Breakthrough left Yu Yan green with envy.
Yet raising her Spirit Power Level was only one of Yearning Heartbroken Red's many functions.
Under the herb's power, Xiao Wu's Spirit and spirit ring emerged together. The Moonlight Energy stored in her second spirit ring's ability Moonlight Possession was completely drawn out. The moonlight fused with the herb's medicinal strength, forming a miniature moon behind her.
Sensing the change, Yu Yan took three crescent-shaped herbs from his Hundred-Grass Pouch and tossed them beside Xiao Wu.
Called Crescent Grass, they were not true Immortal Herbs but still rare and precious, rich in Moonlight Energy.
If Xiao Wu needed more moonlight, these three would serve as excellent Materials.
The moment they landed, their Moonlight Energy was pulled by the moon behind her and merged into its glow.
The moon's radiance enveloped her; moonlight and Yearning Heartbroken Red's power poured into her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, causing it to transform.
In an instant, the rabbit in her arms gained an air of distinction. Yu Yan couldn't name it, yet it felt oddly familiar.
After long thought he realized why.
He had sensed a similar difference between Jade Phosphor Serpent and Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
So, should her Spirit now be called Soft Bone Rabbit Empress? he judged silently.
The evolution didn't stop. Under moonlight and herb, the Soft Bone Rabbit Empress continued to change.
Three hours later, it naturally exuded pure lunar radiance, ancient and regal.
Though still petite, its proportions were now perfect, carved from flawless white jade, its fur replaced by a restrained moon-white sheen. Its ears were long, lined with silver runes; its pupils swirled with mysterious silver-violet light.
When the evolution finished, the leftover Yearning Heartbroken Red, carrying moonlight, flowed into her second spirit ring, turning it a lustrous moon color in moments.
The remaining power then fused into her body, completing a thorough transformation.
???
Watching the ring shift from purple to moon-white, invisible question marks popped above Yu Yan's head.
As a Divine Grade treasure, Yearning Heartbroken Red had never shown its true might; in the original timeline it served mainly as a one-time resurrection token.
Now, consumed by Xiao Wu at full health, its other effects finally surfaced.
While Yu Yan was befuddled, Xiao Wu, eyes closed, examined her gains—and froze.
The rewards were immense.
First, the herb solved her greatest fear: she had matured from childhood to adulthood. Even a Titled Douluo could no longer see her as a Spirit Beast.
A herb that could mask a beast's aura while merely carried naturally erased that problem when eaten.
Second came spirit power. She now stood at Rank 40, and the remaining medicine would boost her again once she absorbed her fourth spirit ring.
A Divine Grade king of herbs promised at least ten Ranks—and it would deliver every single one.
Most important, her Soft Bone Rabbit had first evolved into her mother's Soft Bone Rabbit Empress, then undergone an ancestral Bloodline regression, becoming the more ancient, noble, and mighty Supreme Moon Black Rabbit.
If other Immortal Herbs could evolve Spirits, how could Yearning Heartbroken Red lack that power?
The Supreme Moon Black Rabbit Martial Soul carried its own Domain: Supreme Moon Majesty.
Supreme Moon Majesty unfolded a moonlit Domain centered on herself, expanding as she grew; currently it reached twenty meters.
Within it, all foes she targeted had every attribute slowly reduced—initially by thirty percent, up to seventy percent over time.
Any Spirit Master inside gained Lunar Protection: greatly increased mental resistance and spirit power regeneration.
Beyond buffs and debuffs, she could spend all her spirit power to create space-freeze points inside the Domain.
Enemies caught in them were temporarily deprived of movement.
The Spirit change thrilled her, yet one more surprise awaited: her second spirit ring, now moon-white, granted a new Spirit Ability—Moon God Possession.
Moon God Possession retained and vastly enhanced her base control of Moonlight Energy, allowing more light and easier manipulation.
The ring's stored moonlight could convert into spirit power and vice versa.
Gentle moonlight also granted healing: lunar dew would mend every wound.
A hundred thousand year spirit ring grants two abilities; her unique moon ring held three—moonlight control, energy conversion, and Lunar Dew.
After confirming her state, Xiao Wu opened her eyes and smiled. "Yu Yan, the gains are enormous."
"Enormous?"
He could already see as much, but eager for details he pressed, "Tell me everything—what did you get?"
She obliged, beginning to list every benefit.
