Swish—!
Jin Yue'er leaped high into the air, finally managing to catch the Pill Ye Tian had tossed her.
"Haha... a new Pill!"
Amid her playful laughter, Jin Yue'er's feet landed firmly back on the ground.
Turning to look at Ye Tian, who was still pulling up his pants within the Pill mist, she asked, "Ye Tian, can I try this Pill? Just remember to tell me its effects."
Ye Tian replied casually, as it was merely something he had casually created to test his newly acquired ability.
"No problem!"
Jin Yue'er cheerfully responded.
Under Qian Renxue's watchful gaze, Jin Yue'er tilted her head back, raised her hand, and in one smooth motion, tossed the Pill she held into her mouth.
Crunch!
Jin Yue'er furrowed her delicate brows as she bit down on it.
"This Pill has a bit more chewiness than the previous ones..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Pill she had crushed into fine pieces transformed into a clear medicinal liquid, flowing down her throat and into her stomach.
"So, Yue'er, any remarkable effects?" Qian Renxue inquired curiously.
"..."
Jin Yue'er frowned tightly, smacked her lips, and shook her head repeatedly.
"I just feel like the Soul Power I used for my First Soul Skill has been replenished. Also, my stomach feels bloated—it's really uncomfortable!"
Pouting, Jin Yue'er gave a negative review.
"Is that all?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but express surprise.
"This Pill is somewhat special. You need to circulate your Soul Power to speed up its digestion," Ye Tian reminded her.
The milky-white mist enveloping him began to recede.
"Alright! I'll give it a try then." Jin Yue'er nodded upon hearing this, and as she circulated her Soul Power, the bloated feeling in her stomach quickly vanished. Yet, she remained unsatisfied.
"Still nothing remarkable. It just feels warm, and I have a bit more Soul Power."
"It's just a Pill refined from the essence of a century-old danshen and a bit of your Soul Power. What kind of effect were you expecting?" Ye Tian retorted impatiently.
"So that's how it is~" Qian Renxue suddenly understood.
It wasn't that Ye Tian had failed, but rather that the ingredients for this Pill were inadequate.
Feeling somewhat disappointed, Jin Yue'er lifted her hands, tugged at the Sky-Piercing Braid drooping over her head, and pursed her lips. "I thought it would be even better than the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Bright Soul Nourishing Pill~ What a letdown."
As she spoke, Ye Tian finally reappeared, dressed in a white Taoist Robe, and slowly walked over to Qian Renxue and the others, his gaze evasive.
He was somewhat more composed around Jin Yue'er, but the moment he made eye contact with Qian Renxue, an embarrassed blush crept across his face.
"Ye Tian~" Qian Renxue called out to him, her cheeks flushed.
Suppressing a smile, she was about to comfort his wounded pride when she heard a series of dry coughs.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Ye Tian clearly had no intention of revisiting what had just happened.
Bending over as he coughed violently, he waved his hands repeatedly at Qian Renxue.
"Um, Little Xue... I should probably introduce my Talent Domain to you first."
Ye Tian spoke awkwardly as he slowly straightened up.
"Pfft!"
Qian Renxue couldn't hold back a chuckle.
How could she not see through his little scheme?
Without pressing him further, Qian Renxue was genuinely curious about Ye Tian's new ability.
She nodded understandingly.
"Alright! I'll listen carefully."
"Quick, tell us!" Jin Yue'er urged excitedly.
She had just remembered that since Ye Tian could use danshen and their Soul Power to refine Pills, there was no reason other herbs wouldn't work too.
"Heh~" Ye Tian chuckled softly, giving Qian Renxue a grateful look before immediately explaining.
"I've named my Talent Domain the Nascent Pill Domain. Within this domain, all attributes of my companions and myself receive a ten percent boost, while enemies are completely suppressed by ten percent, including mental power!"
"This seems quite similar to Sister Xue's domain effect?" Hearing Jin Yue'er's words, Qian Renxue couldn't help but correct her: "That's just the most basic ability of every domain. Different domains have other unique effects."
"Exactly." Ye Tian nodded with a smile. "Besides that, probably due to the stimulation from those two Immortal Herbs and the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire, my domain has gained additional ice and fire attributes. It can transform into an invisible Heaven and Earth Furnace, refining the essence of all things and combining those essences into Pills."
"I've named this ability 'Dual Aspects Refining Void'!"
"Theoretically, this ability works on any plant or animal. It can be used for Pill refining or to suppress enemies within the domain."
"However, according to previous experiments, the more powerful the Soul Master, the harder they are to affect. By this logic, the more energy-rich something is, the more difficult it would be to completely refine."
Then Ye Tian looked at Jin Yue'er again.
"That means theoretically, I could refine Pills even more amazing than the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Bright Soul Nourishing Pill. But it would require time to research formulas and such - it would be quite troublesome and take a while."
"So you can't do it now?" Jin Yue'er sighed disappointedly.
"..." Ye Tian's face twitched slightly. When had he ever said he couldn't do it? Jin Yue'er should have already witnessed his capabilities! How could she say such nonsense with her eyes wide open!
Though annoyed, Ye Tian knew Jin Yue'er's words didn't carry that particular implication. It's just that as a man, he couldn't stand hearing those two words.
"Ye Tian, don't mind Yue'er. She only thinks about pleasure, her brain's going numb from it." Qian Renxue remained relatively clear-headed, her eyes brightening as she saw the tremendous potential of this ability.
Staring directly at Ye Tian, she praised: "Setting pleasure aside, based on what you said before about being able to refine Pills for endurance, power bursts, healing, and breakthroughs, you'd definitely be highly sought after in the Soul Master Realm."
"Little Xue is absolutely right!" Ye Tian nodded emphatically, having thought the same thing.
Pills for healing and cultivation improvement would be relatively simple to develop - especially those that restore Soul Power.
For Ye Tian, refining them would be as easy as eating and drinking!
"Hmph~ My brain is perfectly sharp," Jin Yue'er muttered.
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Jin Yue'er, then clasped her hands behind her back and bounced in front of Ye Tian, looking at him eagerly.
"Is there more, Ye Tian?"
"Any other gains like your breakthrough to level twenty-nine...?"
Ye Tian looked into Qian Renxue's eyes, which had become gentler than before, openly showing no sense of distance, and couldn't help but pause for a moment before nodding oddly.
"Yes! Both I and my Martial Soul have gained Ice and Fire Immunity."
"What?!"
Qian Renxue exclaimed in shock.
"Ice and Fire Immunity?!"
Jin Yue'er repeated, her eyes widening abruptly.
Jin E and Dugu Bo, who had been eavesdropping all along, also changed their expressions dramatically, staring in astonishment at Ye Tian's slender arms and legs.
What did Ice and Fire Immunity mean?
No one understood it better than these two old-timers!
If a battle-type Soul Master obtained this ability, when facing enemies with these two attributes, as long as the cultivation gap wasn't too large, they could practically be considered invincible!
And if a Support-type Soul Master gained this ability,
it would undoubtedly enhance their self-preservation capability when confronting enemies with ice and fire attributes.
At this moment,
they finally understood why Ye Tian could move freely within the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire!
"What a pity about this kid!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head regretfully. If only Ye Tian were a battle-type Soul Master?
"Ye Tian, you're just too abnormal!"
"Does this mean you won't even be afraid of having your butt burned by fire from now on? And in winter, can we just randomly put our hands inside your clothes?"
Jin Yue'er quickly grabbed his arm, her face full of amazement and envy.
Qian Renxue stood dumbfounded nearby.
Faced with the successive surprises Ye Tian had given, she no longer knew what to say.
"Haha... what kind of nonsense are you talking about!"
Ye Tian helplessly pushed Jin Yue'er away.
"Alright, I just had better luck, that's all. Did you all properly collect and store those Immortal Herbs?"
