Stimulated by the aura of the true dragon, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul also appeared behind Dugu Yan, roaring to the sky with a pained and ferocious expression.
The triangular snake head begins to elongate, while bulges gradually enlarge from both sides, turning into keratin.
The tiny fangs became thicker, longer, and harder, losing their toxicity while becoming more intimidating.
The eerie green snake scales began to break apart layer by layer, and then obsidian-like rhomboid dragon scales emerged from beneath the skin.
Four limbs sprouted from its legless belly, thick and powerful, and sharp dragon claws began to gleam with a chilling light.
As time went by, the degree of dragonification increased until it no longer resembled the Azure Phosphorous Serpent at all.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh of relief.
The Azure Phosphorus Black Dragon has replaced the previously highly venomous areas with dragon transformation, so there's no longer any need to worry about the backlash from snake venom.
This can also be verified by Dugu Yan's appearance.
"Young friend Mu Ci, thank you very much this time. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to tell me."
Dugu Bo turned to look at Mu Ci beside him and patted his chest.
Mu Ci shook his head and said, "You can't say that. This place was discovered by Senior Dugu. You provided the medicinal herbs from this treasure land, and I refined pills and received payment. It's a win-win situation, and there's no question of who thanks whom."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo waved his hand in dissatisfaction and said:
"How can that be the same? Yan Yan's life is far more important than this place. As for the reward, take whatever you like here."
"If you can be with Yanyan, I'll give you this place as part of your dowry."
But before Mu Ci could speak, Mu Changsheng interrupted their conversation.
"Stop talking, little girl, you'll be better soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan opened her eyes. Her original emerald green snake eyes had now transformed into brilliant golden dragon eyes, radiating a strong dragon aura.
As the body rose from the cross-legged position, a series of cracking sounds emanated from the bones.
Dugu Yan felt the transformative changes within her body; her purple hair turned into smooth black hair, her abnormal nails were now filled with a healthy rosy hue, and her beautiful eyes instantly reddened.
Then he ran towards the crowd.
Dugu Bo looked at his beloved granddaughter running towards him, feeling immensely gratified, and was about to open his arms to hug her.
next moment.
Dugu Yan swept past Dugu Bo like the wind, hugged Mu Ci's chest, and choked up a little.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do in the future."
When Dugu Yan was first diagnosed with poisoning by Dugu Bo, she really didn't know what to do.
His parents died from poisoning, and his grandfather often went out to suppress the backlash, which took longer and longer.
Once Dugu Bo is gone, Dugu Yan will truly be homeless, and may even die from snake venom without anyone knowing where.
Dugu Bo looked at the scene before him, but he wasn't upset at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
Now that Dugu Yan's safety is no longer an issue, it's time to consider marriage, since the Dugu family has almost exclusively had one son per generation for the past one or two hundred years.
Now that the issue of the Martial Soul has been resolved, the issue of the Dugu family's expansion and growth must also be addressed as soon as possible.
Looking at the wooden cub that Dugu Yan was holding, Dugu Bo thought to himself: This kid has good luck with women. When the time comes, it shouldn't be a problem to have Yan Yan give birth to two children, one of whom will have the surname Dugu.
Then, looking at Mu Changsheng, who had a big smile on his face, he transmitted his voice and said, "Brother Mu, it seems we'll be in-laws sooner or later."
"I don't care about the children's affairs."
Mu Changsheng's expression remained unchanged as he replied calmly.
He didn't care how many girls Mu Ci would attract in the future, as long as he didn't become a scumbag, he would support him.
After all, the Dugu family is a single-lineage family, but isn't the Mu family the same?
“Miss Dugu, please tell Senior Dugu about your current condition first, otherwise he will worry.”
Dugu Yan listened to Mu Ci's soft whispers in her ear, gave a low "hmm," blushed slightly, and released her hand. Before leaving, she whispered:
"Don't call me Miss Dugu anymore, it's too formal. Just call me Yanyan."
After saying that, she walked lightly to Dugu Bo.
"Yanyan, how are you now?"
Dugu Yan composed herself and, instead of answering immediately, released her martial spirit.
"Possessed by a martial spirit!"
With a delicate shout from Dugu Yan, her entire body was enveloped in a layer of black mist, her figure appearing and disappearing within it.
A resounding dragon roar shattered the mist, revealing the dragon maiden Dugu Yan, clad in black dragon scales, before everyone's eyes.
The black dragon scales, like black crystals, are cut into many facets, refracting shimmering light, and extend from the legs to the sides of the face, outlining a proud figure.
Behind it is a dragon tail of moderate thickness, which whistles through the wind when it swings, exuding a powerful aura.
Her jet-black hair was loose and flowing, and her golden dragon eyes shone like the blazing sun, making her look like a female warrior.
"Grandpa, my current martial spirit is called Abyss Ancient Dragon, a true dragon martial spirit with dark attributes."
"The soul skills have also changed considerably due to the change in the martial soul. The first soul skill, Azure Phosphorous Poison, has been transformed into Dark Dragon Breath with corrosive power."
"The second soul skill, Azure Phosphorous Poison, has been transformed into Dragon's Fury. It has also changed from a group buff to an individual buff, increasing all attributes by 30% and slightly enhancing the power of the dragon's breath."
Dugu Yan paused for a moment, then excitedly said, "My soul power, which was originally level 28, has now broken through to level 30. I feel that I can break through again after absorbing the soul ring."
As Dugu Bo listened to Dugu Yan's story, his somewhat gaunt old face broke into laughter. However, he then looked at Mu Ci with some questions and asked:
"The Earth Dragon Golden Melon doesn't seem to fit the dark attribute at all, does it?"
Mu Ci wasn't surprised to hear this question, and explained:
"The attributes of immortal herbs are predetermined and may not be 100% compatible with soul masters. As for Miss Yan Yan's Dragon Transformation Pill, I only retained the purest true dragon bloodline and left no superfluous attributes."
"Only by stimulating the inherent attributes of the martial spirit and combining them with the dragon blood can it be more compatible with oneself."
Upon hearing Mu Ci's explanation, Dugu Bo nodded in understanding. He didn't necessarily need to know; he just had a question and asked it.
“Okay, Yan Yan, wait a moment, we’ll go hunt for your third spirit ring right away. There’s a cave nearby with a nest of sub-dragon spirit beasts inside, which is perfect.”
Dugu Bo looked at Mu Changsheng and the other person and said with a smile, "I'll take Yanyan for a walk in the forest. Mu Ci, feel free to pick and use whatever you like, don't be shy."
After saying that, he was about to take Dugu Yan and fly away.
Seeing this, Mu Ci quickly interrupted Dugu Bo's actions and said, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Interrupted, the two looked at Mu Ci with some curiosity.
"For this soul hunt, Senior Dugu should choose a soul beast that is older, because Yan Yan has undergone the baptism of the elixir to transform into a dragon, and her physical qualities are no longer those of an ordinary Soul Venerable."
“Soul rings less than five thousand years old can be obtained, so that the effect of immortal herbs can be maximized.”
Mu Ci thought for a moment and then added, "Finally, when you return after obtaining the soul ring, it would be best to catch a venomous snake-type soul beast that is about ten thousand years old, and the closer its bloodline is to that of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, the better."
"This concerns your treatment, Senior Dugu."
After listening quietly, Dugu Bo nodded.
I understood the reasoning clearly and grasped it immediately; I really hadn't thought of this before.
However, the capture of the soul beasts later on puzzled him, as he couldn't understand why it was related to his healing.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. If we're going to use it, we'll just catch it.
Seeing that Mu Ci remained silent, Dugu Bo unleashed his soul power and flew into the forest with Dugu Yan.
Chapter 46 Primordial Immortal Herb, Longing for the Dew-like Autumn Water
After Dugu Bo left, Mu Ci glanced around at the surrounding immortal herbs and picked out a small white flower from the flower bushes.
Then he looked at Mu Changsheng and said, "Grandpa, our family's longevity tree has no weaknesses and doesn't really need other attributes or bloodlines to enhance it, so I'm giving you this Primordial Immortal Herb to consume."
"Its effect is singular: it can greatly enhance and solidify soul power, so it doesn't really need to be refined into pills. You just need to hold the petals in your mouth one by one to refine and absorb them."
Mu Changsheng nodded, took the Primordial Immortal Grass, and said with a smile:
"Good, Grandpa is really fortunate to have you. Not only did he become a Title Douluo, but he also obtained such a divine herb."
Hearing this, Mu Ci shook his head and smiled, "Grandpa, you can absorb it in a bit. I'll go and select a few more immortal herbs to refine some pills for Grandma and the others. You can take them back with you when you go home later."
"Grandma has just reached level 89 over the years, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo in our family."
Mu Changsheng was also smiling. The thought that his wife was about to break through to the Title Douluo level and that the two of them could be together for another hundred years made him overjoyed.
Just as Mu Ci had retrieved all the necessary immortal herbs, she suddenly remembered a point of attention regarding the Primordial Immortal Herb and said to Mu Changsheng:
"Grandpa, there's something I forgot to mention. When you're absorbing the immortal herb, pay attention: its massive soul power will naturally condense into a soul core within your body. Don't be too surprised; just follow your instincts."
Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Mu Changsheng asked with some confusion:
"Xiao Ci, what is this soul core you're talking about? I've never heard of it before."
The concept of a soul core doesn't exist at this point in time. Mu Ci thought for a moment and then explained:
"I learned about this soul core from the knowledge imparted by the gods. Nowadays, soul masters break through to the Title Douluo realm by forcibly breaking through the bottleneck with a large amount of accumulated soul power."
Mu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this. That was exactly what he did. He had wasted more than a decade at level 88, and once he was liberated, the accumulated soul power was like a flood bursting its banks, unstoppable.
Even for a level 90 Title Douluo, reaching the bottleneck is just a matter of trying a few more times, and the same is likely true for others.
"But the soul core I'm talking about can reduce the difficulty of a Title Douluo breaking through. As long as it is successfully condensed, then level 90 will no longer be a bottleneck. If you have enough soul power, you can break through directly."
“Those with exceptional talent can even condense their energy at the fifth or sixth ring, making the road ahead almost smooth.”
"And the benefits of a soul core don't stop there. It can also increase the speed of soul power recovery, and so on. In short, the effects of condensing a soul core are quite good."
Mu Changsheng nodded repeatedly, and asked Mu Ci with some hope, "Xiao Ci, do you have a specific method for using this soul core? Can it be used by your grandmother?"
Mu Ci shook his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "No, the knowledge of the gods only has an introduction to this aspect, but no specific cultivation methods. However, Grandpa, you can experience it in advance this time."
"Perhaps we can figure out a method. Besides, Grandma doesn't need this. With the pills I refine, she doesn't need to worry about the level 90 bottleneck at all."
Actually, he only remembered the Soul Core after seeing the Primordial Immortal Grass; he had never paid attention to it before.
His proposed methods—the Small Heavenly Cycle Medicine King Secret Method, the Great Heavenly Cycle Medicine King Secret Transmission, and the Internal Martial Golden Elixir Medicine King Secret Manual—all have clear objectives.
The Lesser Heavenly Circuit corresponds to the cultivation stages below the Soul Saint level, the Greater Heavenly Circuit corresponds to the stages above the Soul Saint level up to level ninety-nine, and the Inner Golden Core corresponds to the divine core within the body of a deity in this world.
