Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there was a ring of poison formations set up by Dugu Bo. Even Soul Saints and soul beasts with thirty to fifty thousand years of cultivation would die from inhaling the poisonous gas.
This was the reason why the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had never been disturbed by outside soul masters or soul beasts.
Now that Wang Li was immune to all poisons, and Dugu Yan, as Dugu Bo's granddaughter, surely carried antidotes with her, neither of them needed to worry.
Once they left the poison formation, however, they would have to face soul beasts of various ages that could appear at any time within Sunset Forest.
Wang Li stopped walking. With a thought, he activated the Blue Silver Domain. His spiritual power spread along with it, establishing connections with every Blue Silver Grass within the domain.
In an instant, it was as if a brand-new world had opened before him. He gained countless eyes and ears, allowing him to grasp everything happening within a radius of several hundred meters.
The feeling was truly wonderful.
He could even sense the simple emotions transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass. They were extremely happy. It had been many years since they had felt the guidance of a higher being.
Wang Li's arrival filled them with joy and inspiration.
At that moment, an idea stirred in Wang Li's heart, and he said to Dugu Yan, "Sister Yan, wait a moment."
Although puzzled, Dugu Yan stopped and waited.
Wang Li then summoned his martial soul and activated his second soul skill. His soul power transformed into life force, which he distributed evenly to all the Blue Silver Grass through the Blue Silver Domain.
The effect was extraordinary. To ordinary Blue Silver Grass, even a tiny amount of life force from a Blue Silver King was enough to bring about tremendous transformation.
All the Blue Silver Grass began to grow vigorously. Though still slow, their growth was visible to the naked eye. They swayed desperately and bowed toward Wang Li, pledging their loyalty.
"King… King…"
They generously offered their own strength in return, channeling it back to Wang Li through the Blue Silver Domain.
Wang Li closed his eyes and then opened them again.
His eyes were filled with astonishment. He could feel that his soul power, spiritual power, and even his life essence had increased slightly.
Not only that, there was also a mysterious force he could not describe. Though he could not put it into words, he clearly felt its existence.
When he looked at the Blue Silver Grass again, his gaze carried deeper meaning. They had pledged loyalty to him; from now on, they were his people.
The Blue Silver Emperor possessed status but lacked power. The Blue Silver King possessed power but lacked status.
In theory, the throne was vacant.
In that case, the one with the strongest army could claim it.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan observed the surroundings. The sight of all the Blue Silver Grass growing vigorously and bowing to Wang Li filled her with astonishment. Curious, she asked, "Xiao Li, what's going on?"
Wang Li smiled and explained, "Sister Yan, I've discovered another way to speed up cultivation. I cover the Blue Silver Grass with my domain and enhance them with my second soul skill. In return, they nourish me, giving me an all-around improvement."
After hearing this, Dugu Yan was happy for him and covered her mouth with a soft laugh. "That's wonderful. And judging by how they submit to you, you must have become their king!"
Wang Li nodded with a smile. "My mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul can indeed be called the Blue Silver King now. Let's go. With my domain, the Blue Silver Grass will help us scout the way. There won't be any danger."
Dugu Yan felt envious. Having a domain was truly convenient. Playing with the Lovesickness Heartbreak Red flower in her hand, she gradually realized she was falling behind Wang Li's pace. While it frustrated her, it also made her look forward even more to three months later.
Her grandfather was now a Rank 93 Titled Douluo. After going to the Star Luo Empire, if the Bai family truly possessed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he would obtain it for her by any means necessary.
For that, she could only offer an apology. If the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng could truly fix the flaw in her martial soul, it would certainly be extremely valuable.
Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li with determination in her eyes. She had to gain enough strength to keep up with him. As for the Bai family, she could only compensate them generously.
Burying these thoughts deep in her heart, she looked at Wang Li and said with a charming smile, "We got five days off from the academy after hunting soul beasts. Come on, today I'll treat you to a feast in Heaven Dou City. We just need to return to the academy before tomorrow."
Wang Li naturally had no objections. Over the past few days, he had been absorbing immortal herbs, helping Dugu Bo dispel poison, and then sleeping endlessly. He had not eaten properly at all, and his stomach was empty.
Hearing about a feast, he immediately nodded. "Sounds great."
Sunset Forest was a well-known wild soul beast forest, home to many soul beasts thousands to tens of thousands of years old.
However, relying on his Blue Silver Domain and the Blue Silver Grass to scout ahead, Wang Li perfectly avoided them without any conflict.
With their speed and no interference from soul beasts, it did not take long for Wang Li and Dugu Yan to leave Sunset Forest.
At that moment, Wang Li looked back. Next time, he would find an opportunity to travel through every corner of Sunset Forest and turn all the Blue Silver Grass into his subjects.
Although immortal herbs greatly improved him, none of them offered as comprehensive an enhancement as the Blue Silver Grass.
Each strand of Blue Silver Grass was extremely weak, but when combined, their collective power was terrifying. He could feel that this shared and common-origin strength provided him with immense and well-rounded growth.
Heaven Dou City.
Walking along the streets of Heaven Dou City, Wang Li scanned his surroundings, choosing a place to eat. At that moment, Dugu Yan suddenly said, "Xiao Li, I see someone selling candied hawthorns again. Wait here, I'll buy you a few skewers!"
With that, she ran off.
Wang Li wanted to call her back, but it was too late. He had wanted to tell her that he was no longer a child, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Soon, Dugu Yan returned, holding two skewers of candied hawthorns. Looking at Wang Li, she said gently, "Just like before, I'll feed you."
As she spoke, her red lips parted slightly, and she bit into a hawthorn coated in syrup. With a gentle pull, the hawthorn came off the skewer.
She did not eat it but looked at Wang Li expectantly.
Wang Li was momentarily stunned. They were on a busy street with many passersby. But seeing the anticipation in Dugu Yan's eyes, he finally stepped forward, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and kissed her red lips, biting off half the hawthorn from her mouth.
Dugu Yan ate the other half before softly asking, "Is it sweet?"
A syrup-coated hawthorn,did it even need to be said? Wang Li replied, "Sweet."
Such intimate behavior naturally attracted attention. Yet at that moment, Wang Li and Dugu Yan had eyes only for each other.
It was a kind of romance that ignored the life and death of others.
