Whoosh!
A gentle breeze carried pill fragrance along with misty vapors as they swirled.
When Ye Tian retracted his Nascent Pill Domain, the rich medicinal aroma nearly permeated the entire valley, refreshing the mind and invigorating the spirit!
"!!!"
Jin E and Dugu Bo were the first to open their eyes, followed immediately by Dugu Xin, and Qian Renxue who had become a Soul Grandmaster!
Swish—
Qian Renxue's reaction was the most direct and swift. She eagerly spread her wings, stepping on three purple and one black spirit rings as she skimmed along the ground, rushing straight toward Ye Tian.
"So fragrant! Sister Xue, wait for me!"
Jin Yue'er's reaction was equally quick. For her, that intense medicinal aroma was the best stimulant!
"Little Tian!"
Soon, Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er stood before the milky-white mist.
Dugu Bo and Jin E remained seated in meditation, while Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan, who were already close to Ye Tian, could clearly see the mist and hear the conversation from there.
The milky-white pill fragrance churned...
Ninety-nine percent of it had returned to the Flawless Nascent Pill, which wrapped around the Martial Soul and returned to its master's body.
Ye Tian's figure emerged from the thinning mist, his Talent Domain withdrawn, with five glowing pills floating above his head.
Three pale golden ones, one milky-white, and one golden!
Under Jin Yue'er's greedy gaze, they slowly descended into Ye Tian's hands.
Only after a long while did the extraordinary radiance finally fade away.
Clenching the pills in his hands, Ye Tian raised his eyes to look at Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er before him, asking with a smile, "Xue Er, how are you doing?"
"Extremely well!" Qian Renxue beamed with joy and quickly shared the good news. "After consuming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, my physical constitution is comparable to that of a Soul Emperor, and I possess extraordinary self-healing abilities. After absorbing the approximately thirteen-thousand-year Sun Flower Spirit Ring, my cultivation directly soared to level forty-seven!"
"Level forty-seven?!" Even though Ye Tian already knew that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red would grant Qian Renxue an improvement of over ten levels, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
Such a leap was truly terrifying! No one would believe it if told.
After all... although Qian Renxue possessed Innate Level 20 Soul Power, her cultivation speed was actually not much different from someone with Innate Full Spirit Power—she merely had a ten-level head start.
After nearly two years and nine months of cultivation... even with the assistance of two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, she had only reached level thirty-four.
That level of cultivation alone was shocking enough! Achieving level thirty-four as a Soul Venerable in less than three years since awakening! And now, she had directly become a level forty-seven Soul Grandmaster!
The Lovesick Heartbreak Red was simply fearsome to such an extent!
Ye Tian had essentially discounted the contribution of that ten-thousand-year spirit ring, since Tang San only reached level forty-two after absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Compared to the effect of the Immortal Herb, the boost from a ten-thousand-year spirit ring was negligible.
"Pretty shocking, right? I was startled myself. I owe all of this to you!" Qian Renxue smiled brightly, clasping her hands behind her back as she hopped and crouched in front of Ye Tian, extending her slender index finger to poke his cheek.
Her rosy cheeks carried a sense of attachment, and her smile was overwhelmingly sweet.
"Indeed, even more shocking than I imagined." Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, not minding Qian Renxue's playful gesture, and continued to ask,
"What about the Soul Skill?"
"Sister Xue's fourth Soul Skill is called Angel's Blessing!"
Jin Yue'er imitated Qian Renxue's posture, squatting on the ground and bouncing over to squat in front of Ye Tian. With her hands propped on the ground, she giggled:
"There's a golden light barrier with no blind spots in all directions. It has healing effects, clears negative statuses, and within half an hour, it can also reduce the Soul Power consumed by using the first three Soul Skills by fifty percent! Sister Xue has already tested it on that green Soul King over there, and even he's no match for Sister Xue. Haha."
"Oh?"
Ye Tian couldn't help but glance at Dugu Xin.
"Ahem..."
Dugu Xin immediately coughed dryly twice, turned his back, and looked up at the sky.
Too embarrassed to make eye contact with anyone.
Especially his daughter and his own father!
"Hmph!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
To be over thirty years old, as a level fifty-two Soul King, yet unable to defeat even a child - how utterly shameful!
"Heh..."
A strange smile appeared on Ye Tian's face.
He understood perfectly well that Dugu Xin's defeat as a low-level Soul King was inevitable.
When facing Qian Renxue, he only had two advantages: his cultivation level and the number of his Spirit Rings. In contrast, Qian Renxue not only surpassed him by miles in Martial Soul quality, but even her Spirit Ring quality was far superior, not to mention she also possessed an Angel Domain.
After all, when Qian Renxue reached the Soul Saint level, she would be able to rival ordinary Titled Douluos!
Dugu Xin's loss wasn't unjustified.
"So? Ye Tian, isn't Sister Xue amazing?"
Jin Yue'er wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and asked proudly, as if she were the one who had defeated Dugu Xin.
Qian Renxue also looked at Ye Tian with eager eyes.
"Quite impressive, but it's just Xue Er performing up to her usual standards."
Pfft!
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Dugu Xin felt as if a knife had been stabbed into his chest.
No one had told him...
That Ye Tian's words could be even more venomous than his father's!
As for Qian Renxue, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Tian's lukewarm praise. Feeling disappointed, she complained resentfully:
"Xiao Tian, your standards for me are really high."
"Haha... You have a God-level Soul after all～"
Ye Tian explained with a laugh.
In his view, such achievements were only to be expected and nothing to make a fuss about.
"..."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes in exasperation, wanting to say something but thinking better of it, abandoning any attempt to get Ye Tian to say something nice.
"Ye Tian is right, Sister Xue should be this kind of genius... hehe!"
Jin Yue'er clenched her fists in affirmation.
In her heart, both Qian Renxue and Ye Tian were the strongest geniuses in the Soul Master Realm.
Ignoring Qian Renxue's eye-rolling,
Jin Yue'er drooled as she poked at the Pill in Ye Tian's hand and asked: "Ye Tian, this Pill smells so good and looks delicious. Are they all for me?"
"Haha... In your dreams!"
Ye Tian laughed heartily and said without hesitation.
"Even if I were giving you one, it would only be one. A Pill like the Fairy Tulip Pill in my hand - taking just one is enough to benefit you immensely! Besides, this is something I refined for myself."
"Ah? So they're not for me to eat after all..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yue'er's eyes filled with disappointment, though she still drooled with longing.
"Don't even think about it. This thing is just like Spirit Rings - what suits you is what's best. If they conflict with each other, wasting them would be the least of your worries; I'm more concerned they might do more harm than good."
Ye Tian explained softly while nimbly rising to his feet.
No one would doubt Ye Tian's words.
The miracle that had occurred with Qian Renxue had already shown Jin E and all the others the heaven-defying power of Immortal Herbs!
A pill refined from Immortal Herbs,
even just one, would be enough to make Jin Yue'er soar to new heights.
Not far away,
Dugu Yan's eyes held both longing and dim disappointment.
Dugu Bo, however, wasn't particularly troubled.
Perhaps Young Friend Ye Tian would share some benefits with their Dugu Family? After all, in his view, Ye Tian wasn't a stingy person - this was his intuition!
Unlike the foodie,
Qian Renxue had noticed the yield of Ye Tian's pill refining.
"Xiao Tian, did you refine three types of pills this time? This pale golden one is called the Fairy Tulip Pill, so what about this golden one and the white one?"
"These other two contain the remaining essence of the Qiluo Tulip and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. I plan to keep them for now, as they might be useful later," Ye Tian explained with a smile.
With the Dual Aspects Refining Void, storing Immortal Herbs was no longer a problem.
Actually, Ye Tian could control the quantity of Fairy Tulip Pills, but if he divided them further, the medicinal efficacy of each pill wouldn't exceed that of a single Immortal Herb.
In other words, the three Fairy Tulip Pills in Ye Tian's hands were all more potent than a single Qiluo Tulip or Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid! They were already more than enough to benefit a Soul Master immensely - any more would be somewhat wasteful.
The remaining essence might still be enough to refine another Fairy Tulip Pill. There might even be some Qiluo Tulip essence left over.
But Immortal Herbs were rare and hard to come by,
so Ye Tian didn't plan to use everything up. Perhaps later he could refine other pills by combining them with different Immortal Herbs?
During the refining process,
he had actually thought of the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma - while not an Immortal Herb, it still possessed considerable medicinal power!
Perhaps he could use it with other Immortal Herbs to refine pills that could break through Martial Soul limitations, or even cause Martial Souls to evolve to some extent!
"I see."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
She had long witnessed Ye Tian's hamster-like tendency to hoard things.
She smiled gently and urged:
"Then hurry up and take the pill, Xiao Tian. Yue'er and I will protect you while you absorb it."
"Not in a hurry."
Ye Tian couldn't help but smile wryly,
never expecting that he would one day be urged to take medicine.
After speaking, Ye Tian slowly stood up - he still had something to arrange.
"Alright, Yue'er, wipe your drool."
"After I take the Fairy Tulip Pill and obtain my third Spirit Ring, I'll start refining pills for you, and for your Yanzi sister from the Dugu Family too."
Ye Tian smiled as he turned his gaze toward Dugu Yan.
"Huh? Yanzi sister gets some too?"
Jin Yue'er was momentarily stunned, then immediately overjoyed, nodding her head vigorously.
"Great! Then you should hurry up!"
"No problem!"
Ye Tian agreed readily,
then walked toward Golden Crocodile Douluo under Qian Renxue's puzzled gaze.
The three members of the Dugu Family were also stunned.
After a long while,
Dugu Xin couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Good! Excellent... Brother Ye Tian is truly magnanimous!"
"..."
Dugu Yan was naturally overjoyed, watching Ye Tian's retreating figure with her heart full of gratitude.
If Ye Tian knew, he would surely find it both amusing and exasperating -
this was like being sold out while happily counting money for the seller, wasn't it?
Unaware of Dugu Yan's thoughts, Ye Tian approached Jin E with the two girls following behind him, and respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
"Let's skip the pleasantries. Tell me your requirements for the third Spirit Ring."
Jin E stood up as if he had anticipated this.
Qian Renxue suddenly understood—Ye Tian intended to have Grandpa Golden Crocodile first incapacitate the required Spirit Beast and bring it back directly!
