Sacrifice was a special ability in which a soul beast fully merged its life and soul into a soul ring.
For this very reason, sacrifice was not limited by the soul master's level and forcibly increased the success rate of soul ring fusion.
Even a plant-type soul beast like the Blue Silver Emperor, which possessed immense life force, could only leave behind a seed after sacrificing itself. Its soul would still suffer a severe blow, leaving only superficial instinctive reactions.
Logically speaking, once she recovered to the ten-thousand-year level, her soul should have nearly fully recovered. At that time, Ah Yin's memories would naturally return. Even if her cultivation level was lost, she could cultivate again.
However, who could have imagined that this "dark horse" Lin Yang would suddenly appear?
When the Blue Silver Emperor was still extremely weak, he had used Demon blood containing the essence of a martial soul to nurture Ah Yin.
He had directly made Ah Yin his subordinate.
After being catalyzed by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the origin of the Demon God Body martial soul and the origin of the Blue Silver Emperor had completely fused and become inseparable.
More importantly, that Demon blood contained fragments of Lin Yang's will.
These will fragments had merged with Ah Yin's soul, ultimately giving birth to this entirely new Ah Yin.
She had inherited all the memories and knew everything that had happened in the past.
However, she could not truly empathize with them.
It was like watching a movie from a third-person perspective.
Because, in essence, she was still Lin Yang's Demon servant.
In her world, Lin Yang was the only master.
Having understood the cause and effect, Lin Yang was not disappointed at all. On the contrary, he felt like laughing.
This was truly an unexpected blessing.
The new Ah Yin was the best!
Not only were they very close, but most importantly, there was no need to worry about Ah Yin betraying him.
Otherwise, as his Demon servant, she would still be thinking about other men while her body was in Cao's camp but her heart remained in Han's camp? Just imagining that scene was disgusting.
Afterward, Lin Yang chatted with Ah Yin for a while. The more they talked, the more he found this new Ah Yin interesting.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he spoke up.
"The name 'Ah Yin' no longer suits you. Shall I give you a new name?"
The scarecrow stopped, thought for a moment, and nodded repeatedly.
She had still been in a daze earlier and hadn't minded being called "Ah Yin" much. Now that she had regained consciousness, the name "Ah Yin" only reminded her of that period of failure in her life. She really didn't like it.
"What does Master want to call me?"
Lin Yang stroked his chin and looked at the Blue Silver Emperor. After thinking for a bit, he said…
"Since you are the Blue Silver Emperor, how about taking the surname Lan and the given name Qin?"
"Lan Qin—what do you think of this name?"
"Lan Qin?"
The straw figure quietly repeated it, and a slow smile appeared on the face woven from grass stems.
"Lan Qin… I like this name."
Suddenly, she approached Lin Yang and gently kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Master. Meeting Master is the greatest fortune of my life."
Lin Yang smiled and gently touched the nearest leaf.
"Cultivate well here. I'm going to gather some medicinal herbs."
"Understood, Master!"
Lan Qin collapsed onto the ground. The grass-stem figures scattered and transformed back into a group of blue-silver emperors.
Lin Yang went to the herb garden and began selecting herbs with practiced hands.
Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Bodhi Root, Bloodburn Fruit…
These were the main ingredients for the Soul Return Pill and the Soul Incineration Pill.
They were not miraculous immortal herbs, but they were still rare and valuable plants that were hard to find elsewhere.
They did not possess miraculous healing powers like "reviving the dead" or "growing flesh on bones." Rather, these herbs required extremely harsh growing conditions, were unsuitable for ordinary cultivation, and were extremely difficult to obtain.
Rarity increased value!
Therefore, these "rare" herbs would easily cost hundreds of gold soul coins outside.
But here at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there was nothing to worry about. Sow the seeds, and they would sprout and grow ten times faster.
Moreover, Lan Qin's Blue Silver Domain could also promote the growth of plants within the area.
With the double buff, these rare herbs grew like weeds.
Even with ordinary herbs added in, the cost of one bottle of Soul Incineration Potion was only one gold soul coin.
The Revival Potion was even cheaper—less than ten silver soul coins.
If resold, the profit could be hundreds of times over.
They had built an enormous fortune!
The Ye family had already sent the first batch of profits, and he had received 400,000 gold soul coins.
How many days had it been? It was practically robbery.
Lin Yang once again gained a new understanding of the wealth possessed by soul masters.
Thanks to this income, Lin Yang could focus on the next stage of research and development.
This time, he would not develop the "Soul Return" or "Blood Incineration" potions that were of little use to him.
Instead, he would create medicines that could truly assist his own cultivation.
He already had some progress, but he had been short on funds.
Now… he had money.
The next step was to turn theory into reality.
Of course, this would never delay his own cultivation.
Neglecting cultivation for the sake of researching medicine would be putting the cart before the horse.
While Lin Yang was lost in various thoughts, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire valley suddenly trembled violently.
He raised an eyebrow, straightened his back, and looked up in a certain direction within the valley.
From that direction came a chilling, eerie aura, as if a venomous snake that had been dormant for a long time had suddenly opened its vertical pupils.
A shiver ran down his spine.
Lan Qin's leaves trembled slightly. "Master, this is…"
"Exactly," Lin Yang said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. "That old poison user who has been living in seclusion for so long has finally shown himself."
The moment he finished speaking, the oppressive atmosphere vanished.
Immediately afterward, a hearty laugh echoed from the depths of the valley, resounding throughout the entire valley.
"Hahaha!"
Dugu Bo's voice was filled with the joy of a breakthrough and the satisfaction of finally fulfilling a long-suppressed wish.
Since obtaining his Titled Douluo title, it had been many years since he had laughed so heartily.
The laughter quickly subsided!
A deep green figure shot out from the bottom of the valley and landed in front of Lin Yang in the blink of an eye.
"Congratulations, Poison Douluo!"
Lin Yang cupped his hands in congratulations.
"Haha, little friend Lin," Dugu Bo's voice was very cheerful. "This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't helped me resolve the backlash from my poison, I would still be stuck at level 91."
"This is the natural result of the accumulation of many years by our predecessors."
"You really know how to talk," Dugu Bo said with a smile. "By the way, how has Yanzi been doing lately?"
Lin Yang smiled lightly. "Yanzi is growing well. She should break through soon."
"Good. Then I'll head back. Will you return alone, or come with me?"
Lin Yang cupped his hands and said, "This junior plans to stay a little longer."
"Then I'll take my leave first. I'll come for dinner later."
With that, Dugu Bo's figure suddenly disappeared, turning into a streak of light that vanished toward the horizon.
Lin Yang shrugged and continued selecting the appropriate herbs in the garden.
