Seeing that Tang San was still digesting his Immortal Herb, and considering that the medicinal efficacy of such herbs wouldn't be wasted due to rank limitations, Xiao Lin made a decision.
Given that his "Second Dantian" was highly unique and he possessed a physique tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he was even less afraid of the medicinal strength of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum diminishing.
Xiao Lin sat cross-legged and decisively consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
The moment he swallowed it, the herb's power transformed into a golden light that surged directly into his abdomen. Feeling the changes in his body, Xiao Lin immediately circulated his soul power, guiding the medicinal energy to flow through his limbs and bones.
Before long, Xiao Lin's body began to emit a faint golden glow.
The compatibility between the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Xiao Lin's "Vajra Imperishable" soul power was exceptional. In less than fifteen minutes, he successfully circulated the energy through every corner of his body and all his meridians.
Not only that, but sensing the effects of the herb, his Horned Dragon Staff manifested without him even noticing to claim a share of the spoils. Strictly speaking, the Horned Dragon Staff was mostly absorbing the excess medicinal power that Xiao Lin might have otherwise wasted.
At this moment, the Horned Dragon Staff stood before Xiao Lin, radiating a silvery-white light as it drank in the surplus energy. Within Xiao Lin's body, a portion of the golden light branched off and flew toward the two tips of the staff, coating them in a layer of brilliant gold.
The current Horned Dragon Staff no longer looked like the weapon in Xiao Lin's memory; instead, it increasingly resembled the Ruyi Jingu Bang—the Golden Cudgel, the "Sky-Propping White Jade Pillar"
Inside his consciousness space, Xiao Lin watched the transformation of the Horned Dragon Staff as it stood above the ocean of ice and fire. He couldn't describe the joy and excitement in his heart.
The Golden Cudgel? Who wouldn't love the Golden Cudgel!
Within the ocean of ice and fire, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings felt the restrictions placed upon them by the Horned Dragon Staff loosen slightly.
This wasn't because the staff had weakened; on the contrary, it had become so much stronger that it could now suppress the two Dragon Kings with ease, allowing it to relax its direct hold.
Suddenly, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings shouted in unison: "Brat Xiao Lin! Hurry up and sense the connection between the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and your Martial Soul! Commune with the nature of Heaven and Earth!"
Following their roar, Xiao Lin experienced a sudden moment of enlightenment.
That's right, he thought. In cultivation novels, doesn't absorbing Immortal Herbs always increase one's comprehension of the world?
It was possible that the methods Tang San had taught him previously weren't entirely accurate for this level of existence.
After all, Tang San came from a world of martial arts—at most, a "High Wuxia" world. In the consciousness space, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, quietly immersing himself in meditation.
Time passed second by second, and Xiao Lin gradually felt his body changing.
His physique, refined by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, allowed his "Vajra Imperishable" soul power to merge into a single, cohesive whole. His flesh became incredibly hard and resilient, as if he had practiced external martial arts for decades.
Furthermore, the effects of the herb allowed his "Qi to move the limbs and Blood to penetrate the eight veins." His meridians were completely opened, including the Ren and Du vessels.
At this stage, it could be said that even without the special soul power of the Horned Dragon Staff, Xiao Lin could successfully master the "Vajra Imperishable Divine Skill." With the staff's unique soul power, his body became even harder—virtually indistinguishable from Ultimate Gold.
In fact, Xiao Lin might even be slightly stronger. Now, Xiao Lin's body contained three distinct Ultimate attributes. Finally, Xiao Lin discovered that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was continuously improving his Bloodline Power.
He felt as though it was trying to grant him a "Pure Yang Physique."
Slowly, as the medicinal power began to wane, Xiao Lin—currently restricted by his lack of a new soul ring—could no longer perceive much more. Only in the final moments did he gain some insight into the "Power of Blood and Qi."
First, he realized that whether he was meditating, breathing, or circulating the Vajra Imperishable Divine Skill, he could mobilize the flow of Blood and Qi within his body. This powerful Bloodline Power provided him with near-limitless energy and stamina.
Secondly, as the Bloodline Power circulated, Xiao Lin noticed his body was slowly growing stronger, with the energy expelling impurities from his system. In this process, the Bloodline Power itself was constantly refined, becoming purer.
Furthermore, he found that this Bloodline Power could fuse with the Vajra Imperishable soul power in his body. Once released, it could trigger an instantaneous burst of immense strength, attack power, and defense.
Finally, he felt his recovery speed significantly enhanced.
The relationship between Bloodline Power and vitality, as well as its synergy with the Vajra Imperishable soul power... these forces left Xiao Lin in shock.
It felt as though even if he never became a God, he might achieve a form of eternal life simply by pushing his Bloodline Power to its absolute peak.
What terrifying power!
What terrifying Bloodline Power!
Perhaps, choosing a Martial Soul related to Blood and Qi for my Second Martial Soul would be even better, Xiao Lin mused.
But unless he developed a Body Martial Soul himself, which other Beast Martial Souls were related to Blood and Qi? Xiao Lin didn't really know.
Inside the consciousness space, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and looked at the two Dragon Kings who were already by his side. It seemed that aside from Martial Souls like the Dragon Kings, it would be difficult for any other soul to reach the level of Bloodline Power he desired.
Xiao Lin thought secretly to himself.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had no idea that Xiao Lin was already setting his sights on the other Dragon Kings.
"Great Dragon Kings, do you know of any other Dragon Kings? Are there any suitable to become my Second Martial Soul?"
Although Xiao Lin didn't know the stories of the later Soul Land novels, he did know of a title called The Legend of the Dragon King. Since it was called the Legend of the Dragon King, it must be related to some specific Dragon King, right?
The Golden Eyed Black Dragon King? Or perhaps the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?
"Brat, don't overthink it. To be considered a Dragon King, one must at least have the cultivation we had in our prime—that is a God King level powerhouse," the Ice Dragon King said, shaking his head with disdain.
If a God King level powerhouse truly became Xiao Lin's Martial Soul, it would be a God-class Martial Soul from the start, and it would definitely be far more powerful than Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel.
With such a Martial Soul, it would actually be Xiao Lin's Horned Dragon Staff that would temporarily fail to measure up.
"Not necessarily," the Fire Dragon King immediately countered.
"In fact, after the Dragon Kings of our generation died, new Dragon Kings would appear. Even if the younger generation isn't as good as us, they are still Dragon Kings—more than enough for Xiao Lin."
"Also, I remember that because the Mountain Dragon King race is unique and carries a heavy mission, every adult Mountain Dragon is an uncrowned king, worthy of the title of Dragon King."
The Fire Dragon King's words made the Ice Dragon King quite uncomfortable. After an instinctive rebuttal, he continued, "Xiao Lin, don't listen to him. What he's saying is practically useless."
"What? Like you're any better!"
After a while, the two Great Dragon Kings finished their bickering and turned back to discuss other matters with Xiao Lin.
"Xiao Lin, I saw that you taught yourself how to use Bloodline Power. It's truly incredible. A tiny herb, grown from our Ice and Fire spiritual energy, could actually grant you a power that even we couldn't give you."
"That's right. It seems our Ultimate Ice and Fire are not just about ultimate destruction, but also contain powerful life energy. This is perfect. Next, we will teach you how to mobilize your Ice and Fire soul power to make your Bloodline Power grow."
"This way, your body can grow passively in the future. Of course, the disadvantage is that the demand for soul power will become enormous. You might need several years' worth of time compared to others just to raise your soul power by one rank. Do you want it?"
The two Dragon Kings spoke one after another, finally asking Xiao Lin directly to make a choice.
"Is that even a question? Of course I'll do it."
Xiao Lin smiled, but quickly asked another question: "Great Dragon Kings, can I teach this Bloodline technique to Tang San and the others?"
"You can, but I don't think he's suitable for Ice and Fire spiritual energy. He should use vitality to stimulate Bloodline Power instead. I'll give you the circulation method when the time comes."
"Great Dragon Kings, can a Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast in human form practice it? And what about an Auspicious Beast in human form—specifically someone whose Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon?"
Knowing that Tang San could practice a "mid-tier" version made Xiao Lin quite excited. He had to give one to his sworn sister, Xiao Wu, and he couldn't leave Tang Ni out either.
I'll just give them a low-tier version, he thought.
"The Soft Bone Rabbit won't work; her body is too weak."
"The one with the Golden Dragon is fine. I'll give you a technique that uses Ultimate Strength to drive Bloodline Power later," the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings concluded.
