Chapter 112: Refining Medicinal Pills, Atavistic Evolution (Please Keep Reading)
And looking at the situation, it was as if the little cabbage had grown legs and walked into the "pig's" mouth of its own accord!
"Forget it, forget it."
"This kid has a background that reaches the heavens and possesses such means; he is indeed worthy of Yan Yan."
Old Poison comforted himself for a bit and simply decided that what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over... In the following days.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well returned to tranquility once more.
Lin Yuan was in no hurry to leave.
Since he was here and had the nine dragons departing fire furnace and the "Complete Guide to Alchemy," he had to squeeze every bit of value out of this place.
He began to busily shuttle through the herb garden.
The rose treant—that was prepared for Ning Rongrong, the key to evolving the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
As for the Nine Heart Begonia, what Ye Lengleng needed was an Immortal Herb capable of breaking the Spirit's curse.
There were also Immortal Herbs prepared for Xiao Wu and himself.
As for the legendary king of flowers, the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Lin Yuan stood beside the pitch-black boulder, looking at the strange flower swaying in the wind, blood-red all over and shaped like a palm.
"So this is the Yearning Heartbroken Red..."
Lin Yuan did not attempt to refine it; this Immortal Herb was currently in a Sealed state. Forcing the refinement would only result in its destruction and the loss of its medicinal power.
"Only the blood of supreme love and affection can make it recognize a master."
"So be it."
"Anyway, Xiao Wu is by my side. This thing will be hers sooner or later, or..."
Lin Yuan stored it, along with the Wujue Stone beneath it, into his spirit tool to be sealed away for the time being... One month later.
The flames of the nine dragons departing fire furnace finally extinguished.
Looking at the bottles of radiant Medicinal Pills in his hands, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yuan's Face.
"It's finished!"
First, he took out the portion belonging to the Dugu grandfather and granddaughter.
"Senior Dugu Bo, this is the Jade Phosphorus Nine Transformations Pill refined for you."
Lin Yuan handed Dugu Bo a dark green jade bottle:
"The main ingredient is a Medusa Snake Gall Grass, refined using the spring water of this Ice and Fire well."
"Not only can it significantly increase spirit power, but more importantly, it can cause your Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit to undergo a qualitative transformation!"
Dugu Bo accepted it with trembling hands and swallowed it directly without a word, lacking even a hint of suspicion.
The commotion this time was even greater than during the detoxification!
Above the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the clouds and winds shifted color.
A massive phantom of a green giant snake soared into the sky, circling and roaring in the air.
As the medicinal power dissolved, layers of fine, ink-colored scales began to appear on the giant snake's body. The originally cold and gloomy poisonous gas actually transformed into a majestic pressure!
That was... the aura of a Domain!
"Break!"
Dugu Bo let out a furious roar.
The spirit power barrier within his body was shattered. Rank ninety-three Peak, broken!
Rank ninety-four Peak!
Dugu Bo opened his eyes, two tangible beams of green light shooting forth: "This is the Jade Phosphorus Domain! To think that in this life, I could actually comprehend a Domain!"
This was simply an unexpected pleasant surprise!
A Titled Douluo with a Domain and one without are two completely different concepts!
Now, even if he faced the rank ninety-five Chrysanthemum Douluo, he had the confidence to pin him to the ground and rub him in the dirt!
Regardless of the one-rank difference between them, compared to before, he had not only gained a massive boost in strength and could now use his full power without reservation, but he also possessed a Domain. How could that Juhua Guan fight him?
This time, once he returned, he would go find Juhua Guan to reclaim his Face!
...On the other side.
Dugu Yan also swallowed the "Dragon Blood Purple Ganoderma Pill" that Lin Yuan had specifically refined for her.
She sat cross-legged by the Ice and Fire spring water, surrounded by purple mist.
"Hiss, hiss—"
Her Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit possessed her, but at this moment, that illusory giant snake was undergoing a startling change.
The originally flat snake head began to become sharply defined.
On both sides of the top of its head, two slightly bulging bumps were constantly wriggling, as if something was about to break through.
Those were... Dragon horns?!
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a hiss-like roar that was neither entirely snake nor entirely Dragon.
Dugu Yan snapped her eyes open, and within her originally green pupils, a faint hint of gold had actually appeared.
That was the majesty unique to the Dragon Clan!
"Rank thirty-eight!"
Feeling the surging power within her body, Dugu Yan jumped up in excitement:
"Brother Lin Yuan!"
"I've risen three ranks in a row! I'm directly at rank thirty-eight!"
"And..."
Her Spirit was evolving toward the legendary "Jade Phosphorus Dragon Emperor"!
"A snake turning into a Dragon..."
Watching the changes in his granddaughter, Dugu Bo was so excited his beard was trembling.
"This is a phenomenon of atavistic evolution!"
One must know that the Jade Phosphor Serpent was originally of the True Dragon species; a trace of True Dragon Bloodline flowed within them.
However, for a snake to turn into a Dragon, the difficulty was immense!
"If Yan Yan can completely evolve into a Dragon Emperor, her achievements will definitely far surpass mine!"
"She might even have the possibility of reaching the level of a Super Douluo!"
Dugu Bo turned around, looked at the youth who was smiling while putting away his Pill Furnace, walked forward, and gave Lin Yuan's shoulder a heavy pat.
His eyes were full of approval and determination:
"Kid, I won't say any unnecessary words."
"From today on, you are the closest person to Yan Yan and me."
"If anyone dares to bully you, even if the King of Heaven himself shows up, it won't fly!"
Lin Yuan smiled, feeling the sincerity of this Titled Douluo.
He knew that Dugu Bo was now completely won over.
Zhao Yun's identity was special; unless a very critical situation arose, he should not appear. Keeping him as a deterrent would be most effective.
On ordinary days, having Dugu Bo or even the Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School guarding him in the open would be enough.
One in the light, one in the dark.
"Alright, Senior."
Lin Yuan stretched, looking at the still-vibrant herbs (he had left the roots, not wiping them out): "Since everything is done, it's time for us to head back."
...Lin Yuan was in no hurry to leave immediately. He walked slowly to the very center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where an extremely special plant grew.
It was translucent azure blue all over, with golden patterns flowing on its leaves, emitting a noble and gentle imperial aura.
It was exactly what Lin Yuan had specifically brought with him on this trip—the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
Before coming here, Lin Yuan had been watering her with the nutrient solution rewarded by the System.
That kind of spiritual liquid could accelerate growth by a hundredfold.
And over this past month, combined with the nourishment from the auspicious land of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ah Yin's changes were earth-shattering.
What was originally just a Blue Silver Grass with a bit of Spiritual Qi had now grown to be half a person tall.
The thick vines and lush leaves all proclaimed her current cultivation level, which had recovered to at least the five-thousand-year level!
In the original work, Tang San planted Ah Yin here, and even with the later enhancement of the Seagod's Light, it took five whole years for her to recover to the hundred-thousand-year cultivation stage.
But now, although there was no Seagod's Light.
The hundredfold acceleration of the System's spiritual liquid, combined with the unique plant growth speed of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. (Because of the nutrient solution, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could only add icing to the cake and could not achieve a tenfold acceleration).
