Chapter 93: Consuming the Nine Dragons Lingzhi
Since the Land Dragon Golden Melon was not ripe and not suitable, Yu Tianlin did not linger. He immediately continued searching for other immortal herbs.
His gaze swept across the ground, and soon he spotted a clump of green grass.
This was the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire. How could ordinary grass possibly grow here?
Yu Tianlin walked closer and took a careful look. He quickly recognized it. This was not ordinary grass at all, but Dragon Ganoderma Leaf.
The leaves of Dragon Ganoderma Leaf were completely green and had no special shape. From a distance, they truly looked no different from normal grass.
Although Dragon Ganoderma Leaf was not an immortal herb, it was far above ordinary herbs. After consuming it, it could strengthen the foundation, improve mental focus, and speed up healing and Spirit Power recovery. It was a very useful herb.
However, no matter how good it was, Yu Tianlin could not focus on that right now. His first goal was an immortal herb. Although he had already found Chrysanthemum, he still wanted to see if there was something even more suitable for him.
With that in mind, Yu Tianlin was about to turn and leave. Yet at that moment, he suddenly saw a flash of golden light within the emerald green clump of Dragon Ganoderma Leaf.
There was something else hidden inside.
Yu Tianlin immediately reacted. He stepped forward, parted the leaves, and revealed what was underneath.
It was a Lingzhi, golden yellow from top to bottom, with a lid like cap covered in golden patterns. Looking closely, those patterns resembled the shape of dragons.
"This is the Nine Dragons Lingzhi."
Yu Tianlin froze for a heartbeat, then his face lit up with uncontrollable joy.
The Nine Dragons Lingzhi contained immense dragon power. It belonged to the same type as the Dragon Origin Fruit he had eaten before, but its effects were more than 100 times stronger.
Because Nine Dragons Lingzhi required an enormous amount of dragon power to grow, legend said it could only appear where a true dragon had fallen. Yet here, at the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where the Ice and Fire Dragon King perished, the conditions were perfectly met. Its existence was not strange at all.
It was called Nine Dragons Lingzhi because the golden dragon patterns on it represented its growth stages. When 9 dragon patterns appeared, it meant it was fully mature.
Thinking of that, Yu Tianlin forced himself to calm down. He quickly examined the dragon patterns on the Lingzhi.
He counted only 8.
And among them, only 7 were complete. The 8th dragon pattern was still blurry.
After all this time, it only had 7 and a half patterns. It was still 1 and a half patterns away from full maturity.
That was pure pain.
He had finally found a divine herb that suited him perfectly, yet it was not even ripe.
"What should I do then, wait for it to mature?" Yu Tianlin calculated quickly. Even if it grew 10 times faster in the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it would still take more than 10 years for this Nine Dragons Lingzhi to fully mature.
In the original story, after Tang San plundered the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he left behind seeds, saying that ordinary herbs could recover in a few decades, but immortal herbs would take hundreds of years. However, this Nine Dragons Lingzhi was already close to the limit. The remaining growth should only take a little over 10 years.
Yu Tianlin even guessed that once it matured, Tang San would already have become a god. By then, Tang San might have given it to Yu Xiaogang so Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul mutation could be completely stabilized, and the Holy Dragon Martial Soul of Light could be passed down.
But Yu Tianlin could not wait that long. By then, it would be too late.
So what now?
Then he would eat this semi finished Nine Dragons Lingzhi.
A semi finished immortal herb was far stronger than something like Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia, but still weaker than a fully mature immortal herb.
Should he consume this semi finished but perfectly compatible Nine Dragons Lingzhi, or keep searching for a fully mature immortal herb?
Yu Tianlin hesitated.
Wait, I think I forgot something very important.
A sudden flash of insight struck him.
Strange. Nine Dragons Lingzhi needs abundant dragon power to grow, so why can't I sense any dragon power around me?
Yu Tianlin carefully sensed his surroundings. Apart from the violent ice and fire elements, there truly was no dragon power. Then how did this Nine Dragons Lingzhi grow?
With a guess forming, Yu Tianlin did not hesitate. He picked the semi finished Nine Dragons Lingzhi, then placed his dragon transformed palm onto the spot where it had been growing.
Before long, he felt a faint, yet extremely pure dragon power flowing into his body through his palm.
As expected.
Dragon power was surging up from underground. That was why Nine Dragons Lingzhi could grow here.
With his suspicion confirmed, Yu Tianlin stopped hesitating. He quickly gathered the surrounding Dragon Ganoderma Leaf, cleared a space, and sat cross legged at the spot where the dragon power was rising.
It's decided.
He would keep Chrysanthemum for now and stop searching for other immortal herbs. He would eat the Nine Dragons Lingzhi.
Although it was not fully mature, it was already very close. More importantly, dragon power kept surging from beneath this location. If he could draw on that underground dragon power while consuming it, the final effect should be the same as eating a fully mature Nine Dragons Lingzhi.
Having made up his mind, Yu Tianlin stuffed the Nine Dragons Lingzhi into his mouth, chewed a few times, swallowed, closed his eyes, and immediately entered meditation.
After only 2 or 3 breaths, the energy belonging to the Nine Dragons Lingzhi erupted inside his body.
Yu Tianlin had anticipated this, so he did not panic. He used his clan's cultivation method to refine the spiritual energy surging within him, while also controlling the absorption of the dragon power continuously overflowing from beneath his body.
Nine Dragons Lingzhi was, in the end, only a plant. It had no intelligence and could only passively receive nourishment from dragon power, so it needed a long time to fully mature.
But Yu Tianlin was different.
He could actively absorb dragon power. Under his deliberate absorption, the speed at which dragon power surged into his body instantly increased.
As the underground dragon power entered him and met the medicinal energy of Nine Dragons Lingzhi, there was no resistance between the 2. They naturally merged together.
This was Yu Tianlin's plan.
Even though the Nine Dragons Lingzhi was not fully mature, he could use this method to strengthen its medicinal power with the help of dragon energy, forcing it to achieve the same effect as a fully mature Nine Dragons Lingzhi.
