Chapter 66 Medicine has a spirit, and people have a heart. Heaven and earth nurture treasures, but we must not greedily consume them all!
"I never expected that Yan Yan's martial soul... would actually transform into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor?!" Dugu Bo said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with shock.
His gaze was fixed on the serpentine phantom before him, his eyes gleaming, and a storm raged within him.
The difference between the Azure Phosphorous Serpent and the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor may seem like just one word, but in the world of Soul Masters, it represents a huge leap in bloodline rank.
The Azure Phosphorus Serpent is ultimately just a high-ranking creature among highly venomous soul beasts, known for its poison, but with limited intelligence, making it difficult to control the serpent race.
However, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King is the king among venomous snakes.
It is born with the imperial might to rule over snakes, and its venom is not only more bizarre and domineering, but even the level of its soul skills will undergo a qualitative change.
Most importantly, its bloodline also harbors a dominant evolutionary trend, a potential that only royal-level soul beasts and truly high-level bloodlines possess.
Staring blankly at the illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor that had coalesced behind Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's expression remained unsettled for a long time. What puzzled him most was—
Why do the scales of the Dugu Yan Bilin Snake King have a pale golden glow?
Dugu Bo frowned slightly, turned to look at Tang Chuan, his eyes filled with even deeper doubt, and said:
"That's not right... When my Azure Phosphorus Serpent successfully evolved, its scales were still emerald green, so why does Yan Yan's Azure Phosphorus Serpent King have a pale golden glow?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan's lips curled into a faint smile, and he calmly said:
"Senior Dugu, I specially added a rare and precious herb to the pill I made for Yanzi—called Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."
"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?" Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback. He had obviously heard of this kind of immortal herb before. Wasn't it the martial soul of his old rival, Chrysanthemum Douluo?
Tang Chuan nodded and continued to explain:
"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum can circulate Qi in the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, strengthen the skin, flesh and bones, and transform the body of a Soul Master, enabling them to cultivate an indestructible body."
"I suspect that because Yanzi consumed this pill that incorporated the medicinal properties of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, it also acquired some of the indestructible characteristics while its martial soul evolved. That faint golden light is the outward manifestation of its strengthened physique."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a long time after hearing this, his eyes flashing intensely.
Indestructible?
This is not simply an increase in defense, but a sublimation of the essence of one's physique.
If what Tang Chuan said is true, then his granddaughter's martial soul is now not only more poisonous and of higher quality, but her physical defense has also reached a new level!
With a mastery of poison attack, bloodline, and defense, he already possesses the rudiments of a top-tier martial soul!
"Good lad..." he murmured, turning to look at Tang Chuan with a complex emotion that bordered on awe. He then said with considerable excitement:
"You have brought my granddaughter an incredible blessing."
"Take any of the rare medicinal herbs here that you need."
"Take as much as you want!"
After saying that, Dugu Bo pulled out a small blue bag from somewhere and threw it to Tang Chuan. The bag was only the size of a palm and was somewhat similar to a sachet hanging on a belt.
"What is this?" Tang Chuan was slightly taken aback as he took the sachet, his expression showing a hint of confusion.
Dugu Bo reached out and patted Tang Chuan on the shoulder, explaining casually, "This thing is called the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch, a living soul tool. Since you like the immortal herbs here so much, you can pick some and plant them here."
"Yanyan doesn't like playing with these medicines, so giving them to her would be a waste."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes, his hand gripping the blue Ruyi Treasure Pouch tightened slightly, and an undisguised joy appeared on his face.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't I be able to concoct medicine anytime, anywhere?"
After saying that, he stopped talking and immediately squatted down, searching around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with the seriousness of a true herbalist.
With keen eyesight, Tang Chuan carefully examined each and every precious medicinal herb.
Whether the rhizomes are plump, whether the medicinal properties are mature, which plant is suitable for single-use processing, which plant can be used as an auxiliary agent, and even the angle of harvesting are all meticulously considered.
Instead of choosing the most expensive immortal herbs, he prioritized picking those used for foundation building, body tempering, soul power enhancement, and body purification. He avoided immature plants as much as possible, his movements were clean and efficient, and he did not damage the medicinal properties in the slightest.
Dugu Bo stood to the side, watching Tang Chuan bending down to pick herbs, his brows furrowing slightly.
At first, he thought Tang Chuan would ruthlessly sweep away all the immortal herbs in this Yin-Yang Well, after all, he had already said, "Take as much as you want."
To his surprise, Tang Chuan was extremely restrained. He ignored many herbs that were of decent medicinal value and, although young, were still of immortal grade, without even touching them.
What's even more surprising is that Tang Chuan didn't pull out the roots and stems of even the older, more potent rare herbs.
Instead, they carefully use a specially made small shovel to gently separate the soil around the medicinal roots, taking only the branches, leaves, flowers, or some fruits.
Intentionally leave the main root and vital energy channels intact to prevent them from withering and dying.
Looking at the scene before him, Dugu Bo looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask:
"Kid, why didn't you collect all these smaller, higher-grade medicinal herbs? They might be less potent, but they're still usable, aren't they?"
"Don't be shy with me, I already said, take as much as you want."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan stopped what he was doing, smiled slightly, looked up at Dugu Bo, and said with a hint of respect and calm composure: "Senior Dugu, it's not that I'm being polite, but there's an unwritten rule in our alchemy world."
"Whenever we encounter truly rare and precious materials, we should always leave a way out and not sever the roots. If we take them all away, wouldn't that cut off the opportunities for future generations? Let's leave some behind and nurture them."
"This is the medicinal garden you've cultivated for so many years, and it's also a blessed land in the world of Soul Masters. How could I, for my own selfish gain, do something that would be a waste of such a precious treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, and a complex expression appeared in his eyes.
In his youth, he plundered treasures everywhere, always prioritizing speed over opportunity or destiny. Yet, listening to Tang Chuan recount his story in such detail, he was unexpectedly struck by a jolt.
"Hmph... I was just being petty and judging a gentleman by my own standards."
Although Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his tone softened, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes. He said, "No wonder your pills have such efficacy... Even when you gather herbs, you do so with a touch of sentiment, so naturally the things you refine will not be shallow."
Tang Chuan smiled, his expression calm, and said:
"Medicine has a spirit, and people have a heart. Heaven and earth nurture treasures, but we must not greedily exhaust them."
…………
Two days later, the morning light was just beginning to break in Tiandou City, and the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
Tang Chuan and Dugu Yan slowly stepped into the side gate of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, passed through the familiar tree-lined path, and finally arrived at the square where the Royal Fighting Team trained daily.
The place was as lively as ever, with many students doing their morning exercises.
Dugu Yan wore a relaxed smile. Since her martial soul evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Queen, her entire demeanor had changed, and her eyes held a touch of coldness and composure.
As soon as the two stepped into the square, a tall figure strode up to them.
It was Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team.
"Tang Chuan, Yanzi, you're finally back."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping over Dugu Yan. He seemed to notice the change in her, and paused slightly, but didn't ask further. Instead, he changed the subject, saying:
"Perfect timing, I was just about to introduce a new student to you today."
"Her name is Xiao Ruier, she is only thirteen years old, her martial soul is the Golden Dragon, and her soul power is level forty-one."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan frowned slightly, her face showing disbelief.
At only thirteen years old, his soul power has already reached level forty-one?
This is absolutely a genius in the world of Soul Masters!
"Xiao... Rui'er?"
Upon hearing this name, Tang Chuan felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction Qin Ming was pointing.
Not far away, a girl dressed in a gold outfit was walking slowly towards them.
The girl had cascading golden hair, a striking and heroic face, and a pair of amber eyes that shimmered with golden light. Behind her, a colossal dragon covered in golden scales faintly appeared, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Seeing this, the other students around her unconsciously made way for her, as if she was born to walk in front of everyone and be the center of attention.
But in Tang Chuan's eyes, this figure struck like a thunderbolt, causing his pupils to contract sharply and his breath to catch in his throat.
A long-forgotten memory, almost buried deep in his heart.
It surged in like a tidal wave.
"How...how is this possible?"
Tang Chuan's voice was so low it was almost inaudible, and his eyes showed a hint of shock. The person in front of him looked exactly like a girl he knew in his previous life.
Clearly, after reading his memories, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion created a face that left a deep impression on him, and then transformed into human form to enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
