Chapter 112: Refining Pills, Ancestral Evolution
And judging from this situation, it wasn't even the pig forcing its way in; it was the cabbage growing legs and walking straight into the pig's mouth!
"Forget it, forget it."
"This brat has a heaven-defying background and such extraordinary methods. He's worthy of Yanyan."
The old poison monster comforted himself and simply chose to look away, out of sight, out of mind.
…
In the following days, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gradually returned to peace.
Lin Yuan did not rush to leave.
Since he had come and now possessed the Nine Dragon Flaming Furnace and the Complete Compendium of Alchemy, he had to squeeze every last drop of value from this place.
He began moving tirelessly through the medicinal garden.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip was prepared for Ning Rongrong, the key to evolving her martial soul.
The Nine Heart Begonia was meant for Ye Lingling, an immortal herb capable of breaking the curse upon her martial soul.
There were also immortal herbs set aside for Xiao Wu and for himself.
As for the legendary King of Flowers, the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Lin Yuan stood beside the pitch-black boulder, gazing at the blood-red, palm-shaped exotic flower swaying in the wind.
"So this is the Yearning Heartbroken Red…"
He did not attempt to refine it. The immortal herb was currently in a sealed state. Forcing refinement would only result in mutual destruction and a complete loss of its medicinal power.
"Only the blood of true love can make it acknowledge a master."
"So be it."
"Xiao Wu is by my side anyway. This will belong to her sooner or later… or…"
Lin Yuan stored it, along with the Black Absolute Stone, into his soul tool for temporary preservation.
…
One month later.
The flames of the Nine Dragon Flaming Furnace were finally extinguished.
Looking at the bottles of radiant, flowing elixirs in his hands, Lin Yuan revealed a satisfied smile.
"Success!"
He first took out the portion belonging to the Dugu grandfather and granddaughter.
"Senior Dugu Bo, this is the Jade Phosphor Nine Transformations Pill I refined for you."
Lin Yuan handed Dugu Bo a dark green jade bottle.
"The main ingredient is a Medusa Snake Gall Grass, refined together with the Ice and Fire spring water."
"It will not only greatly enhance your soul power, but more importantly, bring about a qualitative transformation to your Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul!"
Dugu Bo trembled as he accepted it. Without hesitation or doubt, he swallowed it whole.
This time, the commotion was even greater than when his poison had been cured.
The sky above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shifted violently.
A massive jade-green serpent phantom shot into the sky, coiling and roaring in midair.
As the medicinal power spread, layers of dark ink-colored scales began appearing upon the serpent's body. The originally cold and sinister poison aura transformed into majestic and oppressive might.
That was… the aura of a domain!
"Break!"
Dugu Bo roared.
The soul power barrier within his body shattered.
Peak Rank 93 broken!
Peak Rank 94!
Dugu Bo opened his eyes, two beams of solid green light shooting outward.
"This is… the Jade Phosphor Domain! I never imagined that in this lifetime, I would comprehend a domain!"
This was an unexpected delight!
A Titled Douluo with a domain and one without were two entirely different existences.
Now, even if he faced a Rank 95 Super Douluo like Chrysanthemum Douluo, he was confident he could grind him into the dirt!
Though they differed by only one rank, his strength had surged tremendously. He could now unleash his full power without reservation, and with a domain on top of that. How could that Yue Guan fellow possibly compete?
After returning, he would absolutely settle accounts with Chrysanthemum Douluo and reclaim his dignity!
…
On the other side.
Dugu Yan had also consumed the "Dragon Blood Purple Ganoderma Pill" specially refined for her.
She sat cross-legged beside the Ice and Fire spring, violet mist swirling around her.
"Hiss—"
Her Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul manifested. But this time, the phantom serpent was undergoing astonishing changes.
It's originally flat head gradually became angular and defined.
On both sides of its crown, two small bulges wriggled continuously, as if something were about to break through.
Dragon horns?!
"Roar!"
With a cry that was neither fully serpent nor fully dragon—
Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes.
Within her emerald pupils, a faint trace of golden brilliance appeared.
The unique majesty of the dragon race.
"Rank 38!"
Feeling the surging power within her body, Dugu Yan leapt up excitedly.
"Lin Yuan!"
"I advanced three ranks in one go! I'm at Rank 38 now!"
"And…"
Her martial soul was evolving toward the legendary Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor.
"Serpent transforming into dragon…"
Dugu Bo watched his granddaughter's transformation, his beard trembling with excitement.
"This is ancestral evolution!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor originally belonged to the True Dragon lineage. A trace of true dragon blood flowed within their veins.
But for a serpent to transform into a dragon—that difficulty was immense!
'If Yanyan fully evolves into a Dragon Emperor, her achievements will absolutely surpass mine!'
'She may even have the potential to impact the realm of Ultimate Douluo!'
Dugu Bo turned toward the young man who was calmly putting away the alchemy furnace.
He stepped forward and heavily patted Lin Yuan's shoulder.
His gaze was filled with recognition and firm resolve.
"Brat, I won't say unnecessary words."
"From today onward, you are the closest person to me and Yanyan."
"If anyone dares bully you, even if the King of Heaven himself descends, it won't matter!"
Lin Yuan smiled faintly, sensing the sincerity of this Titled Douluo.
He knew Dugu Bo was completely won over.
Zhao Yun's identity was special. Unless faced with extreme danger, he should not appear. Keeping him hidden as a deterrent would produce the greatest effect.
In ordinary times, having Dugu Bo or even the Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protecting him openly was more than sufficient.
One in the light, one in the dark.
"Alright, Senior."
Lin Yuan stretched lazily and glanced at the still-thriving medicinal herbs (roots preserved no total annihilation).
"Since everything's settled, it's time we head back."
…
Lin Yuan did not leave immediately.
Instead, he slowly walked to the very center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
There, a particularly special plant was growing.
Its entire body was a crystalline azure blue, with golden patterns flowing across its leaves. It emitted a noble yet gentle aura of an emperor.
It was precisely what Lin Yuan had deliberately brought with him—
The Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
Before coming here, Lin Yuan had been watering her with a cultivation solution rewarded by the system.
That spiritual liquid could accelerate growth by a hundredfold.
Over this month, combined with the extraordinary nourishment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ah Yin's transformation was nothing short of earth-shattering.
Originally, she had merely been a Blue Silver Grass with a faint trace of spirituality.
Now, she has grown to half a person's height.
Her thick vines and lush leaves clearly indicated that her cultivation had recovered to a 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.
Now, although there was no Sea God's Light—
The system's spiritual liquid provided a hundredfold acceleration.
Combined with the unique growth conditions of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—
…
