Chapter 29: Collective Enhancement!
Dugu Bo stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed. "Ahem, I was indeed blind."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but tease, "Grandpa, you're not just blind to what's good for you, you're sitting on a mountain of gold and begging for food."
"Yanyan!" Dugu Bo's face flushed red. "How can you talk about your own grandfather like that?"
Ye Lingling chuckled softly from the side, "Grandpa Dugu, Yanzi is right."
After carefully inspecting all the medicinal herbs, Ye Xingyue solemnly addressed Ye Xuanming.
"Xuanming, these immortal herbs can aid in cultivation. I will prepare them into pills for you later. However, it is best to consume them directly."
She paused, then continued.
"The immortal herb and method of consumption that Xuanming just gave are exactly the same as those recorded in the medical books. You can absorb them now and then cultivate to feel the degree of improvement."
Ye Xuanming nodded and took out another special immortal herb from his treasure pouch.
It is a deep green leaf, with glistening dewdrops clinging to the three snow-white leaves in the center.
"This plant enhances mental strength; I plan to take it."
Dugu Yan curiously leaned closer.
"Xuanming, do you want to increase your mental strength further? It's already abnormal enough."
"You can never have too much mental energy," Ye Xuanming said with a smile.
Ye Xingyue nodded. "Indeed, mental strength is one of the most important foundations for a Soul Master."
Everyone began to find suitable spots to absorb the immortal herbs.
Dugu Bo found a flat rock, sat cross-legged, and placed the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma in front of him.
"This old man needs to take good care of his bones."
Dugu Yan chose a location near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where the energy was most concentrated. "Earth Dragon Golden Melon, don't disappoint me."
Ye Lingling found a quiet corner and gently stroked the eight-petaled orchid. "I need to become stronger so I can help everyone."
Ye Xingyue also sat down to the side, gazing thoughtfully at the Narcissus Jade Skin in her hand.
Ye Xuanming then walked to a special spot where a dark green bamboo was growing.
The Black Jade Bamboo is a bamboo stalk that resembles a piece of black jade, radiating a mysterious luster.
However, he did not rush to absorb the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. Instead, he first dripped the dewdrops from the Longing Dew onto his eyes.
Instantly, a cool sensation rushed to his brain, and the whole world became clearer in his eyes.
He then chewed and swallowed the leaves of the Dewdrop.
As the medicine spread throughout his body, Ye Xuanming felt his mental strength steadily increasing.
Then, he released the Dark Blue Silver Grass, whose purple-gold vines slowly extended towards the Black Jade Divine Bamboo.
As soon as the vines touched the sacred bamboo, the entire bamboo began to glow.
The dark green light and the purple-gold blue silver grass complemented each other, creating a strange and wonderful sight.
Ye Xuanming sensed that the Dark Blue Silver Grass was frantically absorbing the energy of the Divine Bamboo.
The bamboo joints of the Divine Bamboo became transparent one by one, and all the essence within was absorbed by the Dark Blue Silver Grass.
Suddenly, Ye Xuanming sensed a strange change in his martial soul.
On the vines of the Dark Blue Silver Grass, black jade-like patterns began to appear, and the overall aura of the martial soul became even more profound.
After the energy of the Jade Bamboo was absorbed by the Dark Blue Silver Grass, not only did the Dark Blue Silver Grass undergo a qualitative change, but the Life Blue Silver Grass also began to resonate.
Fine black jade patterns also appeared on the golden life-giving blue silver grass vines.
These patterns are not the deep black of the dark blue silver grass, but rather a dark green tinged with gold, interwoven with the gold, making them even more noble.
Ye Xuanming closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in the Life Blue Silver Grass.
He felt his life energy becoming purer, and each flow of soul power carried a strong and resilient force.
"Xuanming, your life-giving Blue Silver Grass has also changed."
Ah Yin's voice carried a hint of surprise, "Its vitality has become more solidified, and its resistance to negative states will be greatly enhanced."
Ye Xuanming opened his eyes, and the golden blue silver grass intertwined with the dark green patterns, emitting a faint light.
He raised his hand, and a life-giving blue silver grass vine pulsed in his palm.
Ye Xuanming could sense that this vine could now not only heal, but also withstand stronger impacts.
"This is..." Ye Xuanming was surprised as he sensed the changes in his martial soul.
"Xuanming, your martial soul..." Ah Yin's voice was also full of shock, "The quality of both Blue Silver Grasses has improved by a level, even compared to the Blue Silver Emperor!"
On the other side, after Dugu Bo consumed the ninth-grade purple fungus, his soul power began to fluctuate violently.
Purple light emanated from his body, and his body, which had been damaged by the toxins, was rapidly repairing itself.
"Haha!" Dugu Bo laughed loudly.
"I feel ten years younger! The bottleneck in my soul power has also loosened considerably."
An exclamation came from Dugu Yan's side, "My Jade Phosphorous Serpent... it's changing!"
A strange change was seen occurring in the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul behind Dugu Yan, with faint golden scales beginning to appear on its body.
"This is a sign of dragon transformation!" Dugu Bo stood up excitedly. "Yanyan, your martial soul is truly evolving!"
Ye Lingling was relatively calm, as the medicinal power of the eight-petaled fairy orchid flowed gently through her body.
Her soul power is steadily increasing, and her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is becoming more solid.
After Ye Xingyue took the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, her entire demeanor underwent a subtle change.
Her skin became smoother, and her soul power flowed more smoothly.
Time passed slowly, and everyone was immersed in the wonderful sensations brought about by the immortal herb.
On Ye Xuanming's side, the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo had been completely absorbed by the Dark Blue Silver Grass.
His martial soul underwent a fundamental change; the Dark Blue Silver Grass was no longer a simple purple-gold color, but instead possessed a mysterious luster like black jade.
More importantly, he felt a significant increase in his control over the Dark Blue Silver Grass.
"Ah Yin, I feel like the Dark Blue Silver Grass has gained new abilities."
Ah Yin's affirmative voice came:
"Indeed, the power of the Jade Bamboo has given your Dark Blue Silver Grass the powerful resilience of the Jade Bamboo."
"Your Blue Silver Grass is now almost impossible to cut unless the opponent's strength far surpasses yours."
Ye Xuanming was overjoyed; this feature was incredibly useful.
Just then, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes and shouted excitedly.
"Grandpa! I've broken through!"
Dugu Bo sensed his granddaughter's soul power fluctuations and was pleasantly surprised to find that she had reached level thirty-six.
"Alright! Yan Yan, how is your martial soul's evolution progressing?"
Dugu Yan released the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, and everyone was shocked by the sight before them.
Golden scales appeared on the original Azure Phosphorus Serpent's body, and its head became even more majestic.
"This is no longer an ordinary Azure Phosphorous Serpent," Ye Xingyue exclaimed. "This is a sign of its evolution into a Flood Dragon."
Ye Lingling also opened her eyes. Her soul power had increased from level 27 to level 30. To achieve the specific increase, she needed to absorb a soul ring.
"Mom, I feel like my wedding has been upgraded a lot."
Ye Xingyue nodded with satisfaction. She herself had also improved from level 58 to level 60, and Ye Xingyue clearly noticed that her soul power had increased by more than that.
After absorbing the sixth spirit ring, there will be a significant improvement.
Dugu Bo even went directly from level 92 to level 93.
"Haha!" Dugu Bo laughed loudly, "My strength has improved once again!"
Ye Xuanming sensed his soul power and found it had increased from level 25 to level 28.
Although his soul power only increased by three levels, his martial soul was greatly enhanced. Ye Xuanming's Blue Silver Grass martial soul has now truly reached the top level, even surpassing the Blue Silver Emperor.
If, in the future, a level 50 martial soul awakens and becomes the Blue Silver Emperor, the improvement will likely be even more terrifying.
More importantly, Ye Xuanming's mental strength has greatly improved, and his control over his martial soul has become more precise.
Blue Silver Grass can easily weave, entangle, and attack.
Moreover, only those with high mental strength can absorb ten-thousand-year soul rings beyond their level. They are still somewhat uncertain about the third ten-thousand-year soul ring, after all, they are still young and growing. However, the fourth ten-thousand-year soul ring is a sure thing.
At this moment, Ye Xingyue observed Ye Xuanming's two Blue Silver Grass plants and slowly said:
"Xuanming, your martial soul has changed a lot. This feeling is that it has reached the level of a top-tier plant martial soul."
"This feeling is no longer like that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
Dugu Bo stared at the two Blue Silver Grasses in Ye Xuanming's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his dark green pupils.
"When I first met you, young man Ye, I sensed that your martial spirit was extraordinary, not just ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
Dugu Bo slowly shook his head, his voice filled with admiration.
"Now, I feel that your Blue Silver Grass is comparable to Chrysanthemum Pass, and even stronger than Chrysanthemum Pass's martial soul."
Ye Xingyue was taken aback. "Chrysanthemum Pass? Is that Chrysanthemum Douluo from the Spirit Hall?"
Although she could sense the extraordinary nature of Ye Xuanming's Blue Silver Grass, she didn't expect Dugu Bo's evaluation to be so high.
Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, is a level 95 Super Douluo, and his spirit, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, is a top-tier plant spirit.
Dugu Bo nodded.
"It's that sissy. I have a grudge against him. His Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is indeed powerful. But those two Blue Silver Grasses of that kid Ye..."
He paused, his tone becoming serious.
"The quality may have already surpassed his."
Dugu Yan's eyes widened. "Grandpa, you're saying Xuanming's martial soul is stronger than a Title Douluo's?"
"In terms of the quality of the martial soul, that is indeed the case."
Ye Xuanming put away his martial spirit and said modestly, "Senior, you flatter me. I am still far from being good enough."
"Xuanming, you're too modest." Ye Lingling walked over, her beautiful eyes full of admiration. "Your martial soul has really changed a lot."
Dugu Yan jumped directly to Ye Xuanming's side and excitedly tugged at his sleeve.
"Xuanming, Xuanming, how did your martial spirit become so powerful? What's the background of that Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"
Ye Xuanming was a little dizzy from being shaken by Dugu Yan. "The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo can enhance the resilience of a martial soul, making the Blue Silver Grass almost impossible to cut."
"Wow! That would be incredibly difficult to deal with!" Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. "If anyone dares to bully us in the future, just use Blue Silver Grass to tie them up like dumplings!"
Ye Lingling couldn't help but chuckle, "Yanzi, your idea is dangerous."
"What danger is there?" Dugu Yan said confidently. "Xuanming is so powerful, he will definitely protect me and Lingling."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, "Yan Yan is right. If you have strength, you should be feared."
Ye Xingyue shook her head helplessly, "You two, don't corrupt Xuanming."
As they were talking, Ye Xuanming suddenly remembered something important.
