Chapter 16: Clone Devours Light Bloodline to Evolve? Spreading Information to Fish: Dugu Xin Takes the Bait!
"At least until I have the strength to rival a Titled Douluo, I absolutely cannot let Yu Yuanzhen get close to me."
Yu Jingcheng drained the tea in his cup, stood up, and cast his gaze toward the Sunset Forest.
"It's still safer to deal with Dugu Bo first."
"A wild Soul Douluo who needs something from me is much safer than a Titled Douluo Family that knows my background inside out."
Having made up his mind, Yu Jingcheng no longer hesitated.
Target—Sunset Forest!
On this return trip, Yu Jingcheng specifically purchased a batch of top-tier medicinal herb seeds.
Taking them back to plant in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would yield rewards very quickly.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Yu Jingcheng took out the seeds.
Although these seeds couldn't compare to Immortal Herbs, they were the best among common varieties. In the outside world, they would take at least decades or even centuries to mature.
But here...
Yu Jingcheng crouched down and buried a completely crimson seed into the scorching soil near the Blazing Yang Spring.
A miraculous scene occurred.
As soon as the seed entered the soil, it seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power. In just a few breaths, a tender green sprout broke through the earth.
Immediately after, the stem and leaves unfurled, growing taller and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a medicinal herb that originally required three years to grow had already taken shape, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
"While 'ten thousand years in a day' is an exaggeration, this ten-fold or hundred-fold growth speed is the real deal."
Yu Jingcheng nodded with satisfaction and briskly sorted the remaining seeds, planting them on both sides of the Frigid Yin Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring.
After finishing all this, Yu Jingcheng brushed the dirt off his hands and looked at the Little Golden Earth Dragon King.
The Little Golden Earth Dragon King's cultivation level had risen from six thousand years last time to seven thousand five hundred years.
Its strength had increased significantly, and its body size had also expanded dramatically.
It had transformed from a small beast into a massive creature with a wingspan of four or five meters.
"Hmm? This aura..."
Yu Jingcheng was suddenly taken aback, his expression shifting slightly.
"I haven't paid attention for just a few days, and it's already become like this?"
Yu Jingcheng discovered with surprise.
The Little Golden Earth Dragon King's aura had undergone an earth-shaking change.
The originally somewhat muddled earth-attribute aura was rapidly fading.
In its place was an increasingly pure and holy light-attribute aura.
The golden scales on its body were no longer that heavy earthy-gold.
Instead, they began to transform into a crystal-clear white gold, faintly exuding a majestic dragon pressure.
What shocked Yu Jingcheng even more was this.
Through the connection deep within his Soul, he actually sensed a newly born instinct from the information fed back by this Clone—
Devour!
It wasn't devouring flesh like ordinary Soul Beasts, but rather a predation targeted at the'same source'.
The Little Golden Earth Dragon King had actually awakened the domineering ability to devour other light-attribute Soul Beasts, directly plundering their Bloodline Origin to supplement itself!
"Is this... the hidden talent brought about by the mutation?"
Yu Jingcheng's eyes lit up.
Under the forced reshaping of the Light Holy Dragon Bloodline, the Little Golden Earth Dragon King desperately craved completeness and evolution.
It was like an insatiable black hole, instinctively wanting to devour all light power to complete itself and leap toward a higher level of life.
Yu Jingcheng carefully sensed the Bloodline rhythm within the Clone, his eyes flashing with sharp light as he quickly deduced in his mind:
"Right now, although it is named the Golden Earth Dragon King, it has essentially moved beyond the scope of an earth dragon and is in an awkward transition period toward becoming a true dragon."
"But if I use this 'Devour' ability to continuously hunt high-quality light-type Soul Beasts for it to consume..."
"Its Bloodline purity will rise exponentially!"
Yu Jingcheng looked at the small beast acting spoiled like a puppy at his feet, his gaze becoming incredibly fervent.
Calculated according to this current evolution speed.
There was no need to wait for a hundred thousand years.
Perhaps once this Clone's cultivation reached the level of tens of thousands of years, it could completely shed its 'earth dragon' mortal coil and complete its ultimate evolution.
When that time came, it would no longer be the 'Little Golden Earth Dragon King'.
Instead, just like his original Martial Soul, it would become a true, living Light Holy Dragon!
"Two Light Holy Dragons..."
Yu Jingcheng took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"One will fight by my side, and the other can serve as a second life, which I can release back into the Star Dou Great Forest later."
Before coming to the Sunset Forest to set his plans and possess Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Jingcheng was still the Clan Chief of the Golden Earth Dragon Clan in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even in the worst-case scenario.
If Yu Jingcheng died.
He could reincarnate into the Little Golden Earth Dragon King and evolve into a true Light Holy Dragon through devouring.
At that time, he would be one of only three true dragons.
Di Tian could not possibly sit idly by; he would certainly protect him.
Returning to Heaven Dou City, Yu Jingcheng rented a pharmacy and found someone to spread information, saying someone claimed to be able to cure all the world's exotic poisons.
He wanted to see if he could use this method to attract Dugu Bo or his son, Dugu Xin, to come of their own accord.
Then, he could naturally use the detoxification method to bring Dugu Bo under his command.
In the west of Heaven Dou City, a small pharmacy named 'Rejuvenation Hall' quietly opened for business.
The storefront was small and the location was remote, but in the past few days, it had become a hot topic in the local Soul Master circles.
The reason was simple: a couplet with an incredibly arrogant tone was hanging at the shop's entrance.
The first line: All difficult and complicated diseases can be cured.
The second line: No exotic poison in the world cannot be resolved.
The horizontal scroll: Miraculous Hands Bringing Back Spring.
Such arrogant words naturally drew a lot of ridicule and doubt, but Yu Jingcheng sat firmly, like a fisherman on his platform, not panicking at all.
He was waiting—waiting for the person who truly needed this couplet.
On the afternoon of the third day, as the sun moved toward the west.
The pharmacy was quiet and deserted. Yu Jingcheng was boredly flipping through a medical book when the light at the door suddenly dimmed.
"Boss, did you hang the couplet at the door?"
A slightly weak voice, yet carrying a hint of cold arrogance, rang out.
Yu Jingcheng put down the medical book and looked up.
He saw a young man standing at the door, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a slender build and handsome features.
However, the young man's face had an unnatural paleness, his eye sockets were sunken, and even on the back of his hand exposed outside his sleeve, several dark green veins were faintly visible.
Most striking was his long, dark green hair and his eyes, which also shimmered with an eerie green luster.
"The fish has taken the bait."
Yu Jingcheng laughed inwardly, but his face remained impassive. He just gave the other party a casual glance and said nonchalantly:
"Since it's hanging there, I naturally hung it.
So, is this customer here for treatment, or to cause trouble?"
Hearing this, the young man frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Yu Jingcheng's nonchalant attitude.
But he still suppressed his temper and walked into the shop.
The newcomer was none other than Dugu Bo's only son, Dugu Xin.
He suffered greatly from the Family's hereditary toxin. Although his father, Dugu Bo, had been trying to suppress it,
As his age and Soul Power increased, that bone-deep pain grew day by day.
Passing by this place today and seeing that arrogant couplet, although he felt it was likely a Jianghu swindler, that faint sliver of survival instinct in his heart still drove him to walk inside.
