Chapter 19 Spirit EvolutionDugu Yan took the jade bottle doubtfully. She still found it hard to believe; could such a serious matter as a Spirit defect be resolved just by drinking a bottle of juice?On Douluo Continent, there was still no method capable of curing Spirit defects. For example, Ma Hongjun had to spend a lot of time indulging in romantic affairs every month to deal with his overflowing evil fire.However, this method could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.Only after eating the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and having his Spirit evolve into a Fire Phoenix was the evil fire completely eliminated.The defects of the Jade Phosphorus Snake from her Dugu family were considered relatively minor.Severe Spirit defects, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, would prevent one from breaking through rank 79 for life.Even some special Spirit defects would cause a Spirit Master to directly degenerate into an evil Spirit Master, and there was no solution until the third installment of Douluo.In the World of Spirits, repairing a Spirit defect was equivalent to defying the heavens and changing one's fate. One could thus see how difficult it was.With a trepidatious mood, Dugu Yan raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. Afterwards, she sat cross-legged on the nearby sofa and circulated her meditation technique.Ye Feng and Dugu Bo both looked at Dugu Yan with anticipation. It was Ye Feng's first time seeing someone consume an Immortal Herb, and he wanted to witness the evolution of a Spirit with his own eyes.Meanwhile, Dugu Bo stood up and walked to Dugu Yan's side, condensing spirit power in his palms and concentrating fully, ready to make a move at any moment if anything went wrong.Fortunately, this process did not last long before Dugu Yan's body suddenly began to turn red, and faint dragon roars could be heard coming from within her body.Behind Dugu Yan, her Spirit suddenly materialized, and the phantom of a small emerald-green snake with crystal scales and sharp vertical pupils appeared.As soon as the Jade Phosphorus Snake appeared, it began to grow rapidly. The rate of enlargement was extremely fast, and in no time at all, it covered the entire sofa.Afterwards, the Jade Phosphorus Snake began to tremble violently, causing even Dugu Yan's brows to knit tightly together.This made Dugu Bo anxious to the point of burning with impatience, and he was almost about to make a move when he was stopped by Ye Feng.After waiting for half a moment, two small bumps suddenly swelled up on top of the Jade Phosphorus Snake's head. The small bumps ruptured, revealing two crystal-clear white jade horns.After another half a moment, four bumps appeared on the torso of the Jade Phosphorus Snake.After yet another half a moment, the bumps ruptured, revealing sharp dragon claws.Afterwards, the Jade Phosphorus Snake transformed into a streak of green light and entered Dugu Yan's body.Until the very last second before the absorption ended, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief."If Yanyan meets with any mishap, I will make this kid be buried with her.""Fortunately Dugu Yan didn't run into any accidents, otherwise I would be the one running into an accident."Ye Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and right at that moment, Dugu Yan woke up.At this moment, Dugu Yan had undergone tremendous changes. Her temperament had shifted from enchanting to aloof and cold, her figure had improved considerably, and her skin had become smoother and more delicate. Most noticeably, her hair had turned cyan, changing from short to long, while her eyes had reverted to their original purple.(Reference Douluo comic version Dugu Yan)Dugu Yan admired her transformed beauty and felt the changes in her body, jumping for joy.However, Dugu Bo cared more about the condition of the Spirit and tremblingly asked Dugu Yan."Grandpa, I feel like my whole body has become much lighter, as if the giant mountain pressing down on my heart has vanished in an instant, and my spirit power has even broken through by two ranks. The poison of my Spirit should be resolved."Ye Feng chimed in from the side."The medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year Dragon Transforming Vine cannot be completely absorbed all at once. Over the next month, it will be gradually absorbed by your body, and your spirit power will break through again."Dugu Bo ignored Ye Feng. Hearing Dugu Yan's reply, he breathed a sigh of relief and rarely revealed a smile.The stone hanging at the bottom of his heart finally fell to the ground.Dugu Yan was still excitedly telling her grandfather about her joy, like a child showing off a new toy."Grandpa, my Spirit has evolved, and it's a powerful dragon-type Spirit. The name Jade Phosphorus Snake definitely cannot be used anymore. What do you think I should call it?"As she spoke, she summoned her Spirit, and a huge emerald-green dragon appeared, directly filling half of the living room."Let's call it the Jade Phosphorus Dragon."There was a tremor in his voice. Dragon-type Spirits were universally acknowledged to be powerful. Dugu Bo had just walked out of the haze of Spirit defects only to see the hope of his family's rise, so it was inevitable that he would be excited.Looking at the excited grandfather and granddaughter, Ye Feng knew it was time for him to leave.He said a word and walked towards the door outside.Dugu Bo waved his hand, which counted as a farewell....Leaving the Dugu Mansion, the setting sun was already hanging on the horizon.Ye Feng returned to the small courtyard where he lived. It was getting late, and Ye Feng quickly fell asleep.Nothing happened through the night.Ye Feng got up very early, simply washed up, and walked directly towards the Crown Prince Residence.He planned to meet with Qian Renxue to say goodbye. Heaven Dou City could no longer give him much improvement, and he was preparing to leave Heaven Dou City.Come to think of it, after arriving on Douluo Continent, he hadn't strolled around properly yet.Cultivation should combine work and rest; he couldn't only think about cultivation.Just taking advantage of this opportunity to travel everywhere, uphold justice, satisfy his childhood chivalrous dream, and see the World along the way.As he was thinking, unconsciously, Ye Feng walked to the Crown Prince Residence.Ye Feng walked right in without the guards at the door even taking a glance. Over the past two years, Ye Feng had come many times, so they naturally recognized him.Ye Feng came to the study. Generally at this time, Qian Renxue would be handling state affairs.Excluding the princes who were assassinated and killed, the only ones remaining were Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) and Xue Beng.Xue Beng was simply a prodigal son and a good-for-nothing wine sack and rice bag. Even if it was an act, it had already become real.Having lived in Heaven Dou City for two years, Ye Feng had often seen him bringing harm to good women.In contrast, Xue Qinghe treated others gently, handled matters maturely, and remained calm when encountering troubles. The two of them were Worlds apart.Under such a stark disparity, the court ministers successively supported the Crown Prince, and Emperor Xue Ye also determined that he was the heir to the throne, beginning to gradually relinquish power.This led to Qian Renxue having to handle more and more state affairs, leaving her with less and less free time.As expected, Ye Feng pushed open the door and saw Qian Renxue buried in handling state affairs.He sighed, stepped forward, handed her a handkerchief to signal her to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and moved the state affairs to a side guest table to start working.As for Qian Renxue, she knew Ye Feng had come. The moment he walked into the Crown Prince Residence, Snake Lance Douluo had already informed her.Originally, she wondered what he would say to her—confess, question, or pretend that nothing had happened.But she never expected that Ye Feng would share her duties for her.Qian Renxue's lips curved upward, and for some reason her mood became much better.The two of them worked very quickly, and finished handling everything in no time.Qian Renxue looked at Ye Feng, walked over to his side, and apologized."Xiaofeng, you've already discovered Uncle Snake Lance. I arranged for him to be by your side to protect you without authorization. Without asking for your opinion in advance, Big Brother Xue apologizes to you."Qian Renxue bowed in apology, and Ye Feng waved his hands repeatedly, saying:"Big Brother Xue doesn't need to be like this. You were also worried about me, and I'm not angry with you."Hearing this, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. She understood Ye Feng's temperament; his personality was very independent, and he resented others making arbitrary decisions for him, even if it was beneficial to him.This unexpected incident showed that Ye Feng wasn't angry, but instead proved that Ye Feng already regarded him as a friend, at least willing to tolerate her "arbitrary decisions".This comforted her; at least two years of effort had not been in vain.
