Outside the valley, Dugu Yan waited anxiously, sometimes sitting, sometimes standing, restless. She constantly tiptoed, peering into the valley.
Suddenly, a tall figure shot out like lightning and directly pulled Dugu Yan into his arms. A clear voice rang out:
"Sister Yanyan, I did it! I absorbed the Ice and Fire herbs. From now on, I can freely absorb the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Also, my mutated martial soul has evolved again, producing the Blue Silver Domain."
"The chance to suppress the deadly poison for Grandpa has increased. From now on, he won't be harmed by the poisonous Jade Phosphor Serpent, and his strength will continue to grow in the future."
The strong and solid embrace, combined with his intense masculine aura, made Dugu Yan's heart race like a startled deer. Her eyes grew dreamy, her expression enchanting:
"Good… good…"
Seeing Dugu Yan like this, Wang Li's heart stirred. With Dugu Bo not around, he quickly leaned down and pecked her red lips, then immediately released her and ran back into the valley, leaving a word behind:
"Sister Yanyan, wait for my good news!"
Even then, Dugu Yan had not fully recovered. She pressed her lips together, still feeling the warmth of Wang Li, her eyes curved, the corners of her mouth lifting. She said gently:
"Xiao Li has grown up and become bolder. But your strength has increased so much that I can't even see your shadow. This can't continue!"
With that thought, Dugu Yan found a stone platform, sat down, composed herself, and began to cultivate.
Though outside the valley, she was still within Dugu Bo's poison formation, so there was no worry about outside soul masters or soul beasts causing trouble.
Now that Wang Li's safety was confirmed, she could cultivate without concern, attempting to break through to level thirty-nine soul power. Without the interference of toxins, her cultivation progress over the past three years had been steady. She had been at level thirty-eight for a while and it was time to push for level thirty-nine.
Back at the center of the valley, Wang Li said to Dugu Bo:
"Grandpa, wait a little longer. This time it won't take long!"
After speaking, Wang Li went to the location of the Gaze-Piercing Dew, plucked the small herb, lifted his head, and let a few drops of dew fall into his mouth. At the same time, the herb completely withered and eventually disappeared.
Then Wang Li activated his cultivation method, beginning to absorb the Gaze-Piercing Dew. It was a mild medicinal immortal herb, not difficult to absorb, though it made his scalp tingle as if a brain were sprouting.
Dugu Bo frowned, not out of disdain for Wang Li taking the herb, but from worry that consuming herbs recklessly might harm him. He could only shake his head and guard nearby, ready to control any unexpected situation.
This time, the absorption did not take long. In about an hour, Wang Li opened his eyes, a divine light radiating as if he could see through all extraordinary things.
In his perception, the entire world seemed much clearer. Concentrating, he could even see the tiniest veins on the smallest leaves.
This was the materialization of spiritual power, enhancing his perception tenfold. Crucially, he could now truly sense the Blue Silver Domain within his Blue Silver King martial soul,a force full of vigorous life.
At this moment, Dugu Bo spoke solemnly:
"Wang Li, are you alright? I can't even recognize all these herbs, and your courage is too great. You dare to consume them recklessly based only on perception and deduction."
Wang Li jumped up and smiled:
"Grandpa, I'm fine. My perception and deductions are correct. Look…"
He summoned his martial soul. The Blue Silver King now looked much more majestic than the previous Blue Silver Grass martial soul, sturdy and crystal-clear.
Softly, Wang Li spoke:
"Blue Silver Domain!"
The Blue Silver Domain expanded again. His spiritual power could not cover too much yet, but it encompassed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and their surroundings.
Within the Blue Silver Domain, all the immortal herbs swayed slowly. The Blue Silver King, as a martial soul of equal level, earned their slight respect.
Thanks to the Blue Silver Domain, Wang Li could identify their abilities and medicinal properties, though not their names.
Next, Wang Li approached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and released his first soul skill. The Blue Silver King surged, extending vines into the Yang Spring and Cold Spring.
Now, neither the Yang Spring nor the Cold Spring could harm the Blue Silver King. It could even absorb the fire and ice poison within, increasing its own toxicity. At this level, combined fire and ice poison could overwhelm even Soul Kings; only Soul Emperors or higher might resist, relying on the true form of their martial soul.
With his eyes burning brightly, Wang Li helped Dugu Bo suppress the deadly poison, increasing his own strength and solidifying his backing. He said:
"Grandpa, sit here. I'll use my fourth soul skill to draw energy from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and my second soul skill to help suppress the poison."
"The poison in your body is at least a hundred times stronger than Sister Yanyan's, but your strength is also over a hundred times stronger. Together, we can definitely suppress the poison."
Dugu Bo felt extremely excited. He had suffered under the Jade Phosphor Serpent's poison all his life. The thought of finally being able to suppress it brought tears to his eyes.
He looked at Wang Li deeply, walked in front of him, and sat cross-legged:
"Xiao Li, I'll trouble you."
Wang Li shook his head, then activated his fourth soul skill. The Blue Silver vines penetrated the Yang and Cold Springs, drawing the extreme heat and extreme cold poison into the Blue Silver King, enhancing its own toxicity.
The filtered soul power entered Wang Li's body, swirled once, and he activated his second soul skill. The soul power transformed into life force, which was then delivered to Dugu Bo's body.
In an instant, Dugu Bo's eyes widened. His body seemed alive,no, it had always been alive,but over the years, the poison had hardened and chilled many parts of his body, almost as if they had died.
Nourished by this life force, his internal organs, limbs, meridians, and dantian all began to revitalize. He could not have imagined that Wang Li's second soul skill could be so powerful.
He was a Titled Douluo, yet his body was healed to this extent by a Soul Lord's second soul skill.
Even the immortal herbs around them seemed to stretch upward, eager to absorb the scattered life force,a valuable nourishment from the Blue Silver King for all plants.
Wang Li's expression was calm. Dugu Bo's body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing every drop of life force he released.
Thus, Wang Li had to frantically extract energy from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, convert it to life force, and deliver it to Dugu Bo's body…
