"Level 36 now,spirit power up by 4 levels, not bad." Yang Yunhai clenched his fists, satisfied.
The elixir could greatly enhance the toughness of a martial spirit. From the description alone, it was clear that the Black Jade Divine Bamboo mainly worked on strengthening the martial spirit itself. Naturally, the improvement to spirit power would be less. For him to gain this much immediately after consuming it was already quite good.
"With my current physical strength, the next time it rains and I cultivate by drawing in lightning, my spirit power level will definitely rise even more. Who knows,if I undergo a thunder baptism, it might further stimulate the absorption of the medicine. That would be wonderful."
He smiled in delight and quickly stood up.
"Yun, can I come out?" Suddenly, Silverleaf's timid voice sounded in his ear, with a trace of anticipation.
"Mm, you can." Yang Yunhai replied, still in high spirits.
"Thank you, Yun!" Silverleaf was overjoyed,then she realized she couldn't call on his spirit power.
"Yun, I... I can't come out!" She sounded anxious.
"Oh? Silverleaf, try again!" Yang Yunhai relaxed a little and released his control over his spirit power.
This time, Silverleaf emerged, appearing at his side. She naturally hugged his arm, her smile sweet.
Why does it feel like the current Blue Silver Emperor is more like a special soul bone skill, and a summoning type at that? Yang Yunhai thought, glancing at her from the corner of his eye.
He voiced his question, "Silverleaf, why did you want to come out so badly?"
"I'm not used to being inside," she shrank her neck slightly, speaking timidly.
The space inside the soul bone… Yang Yunhai nodded slightly. "Silverleaf, did you just wake up?"
"Mm-hmm." She nodded quickly. "Before, I was always groggy, often sleepy. Even when I woke up occasionally, I could only hear some sounds from outside, and I couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried. Then, somehow, I suddenly felt stronger and stronger, and then I woke up. But all around me was blue, nothing else,thankfully, I could see the outside world."
"Silverleaf feels the outside world is much more interesting."
So that's how it is. Yang Yunhai seemed to understand.
Still… this feels a bit like reincarnation. The thought popped into his mind.
He himself had reincarnated into this world, so the feeling was familiar.
Confusion, drowsiness, wanting to open his eyes but unable to,it was exactly like when he had just been reborn into this world and was still in the womb. Even after being born, for a while he was often sleepy and could barely open his eyes.
In any case, it seemed that when he had consumed a certain immortal herb before, it had affected Silverleaf's soul, leading to her early awakening.
Because she was unfamiliar with the world inside the soul bone, she wanted to come out,and was very attached to him, seeing him as her reliance. Since she could speak human language and call him "Yun," she must have picked up those sounds when she was still half-conscious.
Wasn't that exactly how he himself had learned the language of the Douluo World so quickly? Like prenatal education, he mused.
Lost memories, reincarnation…? Could it be that back then, the Blue Silver Emperor's soul had been struck down to only its origin? Having read countless fantasy novels in his previous life, Yang Yunhai couldn't help considering the possibility, and his thoughts wandered.
If the soul were like a fruit that could keep growing, then the soul origin would be the pit,the seed,while memories would be the flesh that develops over time. The martial techniques and spirit abilities used for attack or defense would be like the skin.
So, if the Blue Silver Emperor was struck by lightning, the flesh and skin would both be stripped away,wiping away a lifetime of memories, resetting everything to factory settings.
The regenerated soul image would naturally differ from before.
Still, the soul origin must have retained some innate abilities,otherwise, she wouldn't be able to recognize medicinal herbs.
Uh… so, such a youthful appearance, such a striking figure, and every feature matching my tastes,could this be because of my influence? No, impossible. Absolutely impossible.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul couldn't possibly be influenced by a rookie like me. It must be a coincidence!
"Yun, what's wrong?" Sensing his mood shift, Silverleaf turned her head.
"It's nothing." Yang Yunhai kept a calm face, then grew serious. "Silverleaf, your existence must not be revealed to the world right now,it would be dangerous. From now on, if you want to come out, you must get my permission. And even if you are out, the moment you sense someone approaching, you must return immediately. Understand?"
"Oh." She didn't understand why, but still nodded obediently.
Yang Yunhai's expression softened. He gently patted her white, delicate hand and withdrew his arm. Then he opened his palm.
Mist-like light gathered, and the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit appeared in his palm. Its dark blue color had shifted to deep indigo,almost black,making the golden veins stand out even more brightly. When he touched it, it was hard,truly hard,like metal, yet extremely flexible. The barbs curved like scimitars, their tips sharp enough to pierce anything.
This level of toughness should be comparable to top-tier sword-type martial spirits of the same rank, Yang Yunhai thought.
Lightning hardening, spirit ring reinforcement, ice-fire body tempering, and now the Black Jade Divine Bamboo,the strength had skyrocketed.
For a plant-type martial spirit to have this kind of durability was remarkable.
As expected of an immortal herb. Thinking this, he happily retracted his martial spirit and checked his body for changes.
He noticed that his hair color had shifted further toward a dark greenish-blue.
That's fine,if Tang Hao saw him, he'd be even less likely to connect him to the Blue Silver Emperor. As he thought about it, he touched his face. After a moment, under Silverleaf's puzzled gaze, he sighed: "Pity… it doesn't look like I got any more handsome. Is this already my peak?"
"Silverleaf, come with me." He turned and walked forward.
He led her around the medicine garden, asking which herbs she could eat, and dug up every immortal herb that could give soul masters great power,such as Yearning Heartbroken Red, Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Gorgeous Tulip, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Mixed Yuan Herb, and Cockcomb Phoenix Sunflower,placing them with their soil into jade basins, then storing them in an emerald jade bottle that could preserve living things.
He also took the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss,not edible, but useful for self-defense.
Especially against Dugu Bo,if one day Dugu Bo decided to help Yu Tianheng and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan against him, this would be a valuable safeguard.
Of course, it could also be used to target others,Tang Hao, or Tang San, for example.
Tang San's martial spirit had a poison attribute, and his external spirit bone, Eight Spider Lances, also contained poison. That left room for manipulation.
By his estimation, at this point Tang San's spirit power should have already broken through level 30 and he should have hunted the Human-Faced Demon Spider in Star Dou Forest.
Barring any accidents, he must have obtained the Eight Spider Lances by now.
