In Wang Li's mind, the description of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng surfaced once again. The Crystal Blood Dragon is born at the eighth rank and evolves after ten thousand years.
This ginseng is born with eighty thousand years' worth of medicinal power. After another ten thousand years of nurturing, it can become a ninth-rank Ginseng King. As a medicinal herb, that would already be considered its peak.
Because if it continues to grow, it would no longer be merely a medicinal herb, but a one-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast, possessing terrifying vitality and unfathomable power.
The Bai family of the Min Clan possessed one that was only five thousand years old, which was actually somewhat lacking.
However, according to the original story, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Yearning Heartbreak Red complement each other in medicinal effect. Although it seems strange that a single ginseng and a single flower could enhance one another, their combined effects are indeed terrifying.
The Yearning Heartbreak Red restored Xiao Wu's body after she sacrificed herself and even granted her body ten thousand years of cultivation. The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng then transformed Xiao Wu's body, which already possessed ten thousand years of cultivation, back into human form and cleansed her past, turning her into a true human.
Since the two herbs could complement each other, Wang Li began searching the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well again. Soon, he found a white flower growing on a rock. It was about the size of a palm and resembled a peony.
"Found it. This is the one!"
Wang Li's spirits lifted. He picked up the flower along with the stone beneath it and returned to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo asked curiously, "What have you brought back this time?"
Wang Li smiled and explained, "This is a flower of true affection nourished by the blood of true feeling. It has the power to revive the dead and regrow bones. It seizes the creation of heaven and earth and can completely transform a person. That's what it told me."
"I want Sister Yan to try plucking it. As long as she can remove it, it won't wither. A person nourishes the flower, and the flower nourishes the person."
"Sister Yan, circulate your soul power and release a drop of your heart's blood onto the flower…"
Dugu Bo looked rather strange. He had occupied the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for so long, yet he had never known that the herbs within it possessed such terrifying medicinal properties.
Although Wang Li did not recognize them either, after obtaining his domain, he was able to establish a bridge of communication with these immortal herbs, allowing him to understand their abilities and medicinal properties.
At this moment, Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li and then at the flower. Without hesitation, she circulated her soul power, parted her red lips, and expelled a wisp of fresh blood.
As the blood dripped onto the flower, a hazy red glow blossomed instantly. Bathed in the red light, Dugu Yan felt somewhat dazed. Memories of her time with Wang Li, from their first meeting until now, flashed through her mind.
All those memories replayed once more. Dugu Yan smiled gently, more delicate than the flower itself. At that moment, the white flower was completely dyed red, and all the red light withdrew.
Then the reddened flower detached itself from the stone beneath it and, without deviation, fell into Dugu Yan's arms.
Wang Li smiled faintly. Just as expected. Just as expected.
"Sister Yan, try sensing it. Can the extreme heat and extreme cold soul power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well still harm you? Does it still cause your blood and energy to surge?"
"Also, after Grandpa's breakthrough, the fierce aura he can't yet control should no longer affect you. This flower will protect you."
As his words fell, Dugu Yan came back to her senses. Holding the flower, she carefully felt its effects. Sure enough, the extreme heat and cold soul power that had previously tried to erode her now seemed blocked outside, unable to approach her body.
All external auras,the extreme heat and cold of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and even the terrifying pressure of Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo,were completely blocked by the Yearning Heartbreak Red. No wonder it was considered a supreme treasure among immortal herbs.
Not only did it block external forces, but even within Dugu Yan's dantian, her Jade Phosphor Snake martial soul, which had always emitted a cold and sinister aura, seemed purified and more refined.
A warmth spread through her lower abdomen. Looking at the flower in her hand, Dugu Yan said in astonishment, "It's true. This flower is protecting me!"
After Dugu Yan confirmed it, Dugu Bo finally relaxed. Looking around at his place of seclusion, he could not help but exclaim in shock, "My place of seclusion is truly a land of treasures. I only used it to suppress my own poison before. What a waste."
Wang Li nodded and added, "Yes. Many of these herbs can even be called immortal herbs. Their abilities and medicinal properties can change a person's innate talent."
"Unfortunately, we don't recognize them. I can only rely on my Blue Silver Domain to identify their abilities and properties. I have no idea how to combine them properly to fully unleash their effects."
"Grandpa, this medicinal garden of ours must be kept secret. Also, we should quietly inquire about who has studied rare flowers and exotic herbs. We need to make good use of this place."
Dugu Bo had lived for decades and clearly understood how extraordinary it was to be able to change someone's innate talent.
If this were discovered by the outside world, not only the seven great sects of the soul master world, but even the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, the holy land of soul masters, would likely come to seize it.
At the thought, Dugu Bo felt a chill down his spine. But as long as they kept the secret, not only would they be safe, they could also benefit from it.
As for who had studied rare flowers and exotic herbs, Dugu Bo thought for a moment. In his mind appeared the image of an androgynous figure.
Although that person was indeed eccentric, when it came to research on rare flowers and herbs, few on the entire continent could surpass him.
However, their relationship was far from harmonious. Thinking of this, Dugu Bo felt troubled.
"You're right. Secrecy is paramount. Xiao Li, Yan Yan, we must all keep our mouths shut. As for how to use this treasure land, we'll think of another way. If word gets out that innate talent can be changed after birth, we might become enemies of all soul masters on the continent."
Wang Li and Dugu Yan nodded firmly. Such a secret could never be casually revealed.
Then Wang Li smiled and said, "Grandpa, you should stay here and stabilize your ninety-third level soul power. During these three months, Sister Yan and I will return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. When it's time to head to the Star Luo Empire, you can come pick us up."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo replied, "Very well. I'll escort you out."
But Wang Li shook his head.
"Grandpa, my strength is not weak now. I can take Sister Yan out of the Sunset Forest. With your current aura, if you appear in the forest, it might cause a disturbance among the soul beasts."
Dugu Bo's aura was indeed overwhelmingly fierce. After ten years without a breakthrough, he had advanced two levels at once. For a Titled Douluo, two levels of soul power meant his overall strength had at least doubled.
However, he still could not fully control his soul power or completely restrain his aura. So he said, "Very well. Be careful."
