"But this is not the most important thing."
There was a gleam of wisdom that was almost fanatical in Wei Feng's eyes.
"My grandson is thinking, if we can transplant this 40,000-year-old Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, and other qualified immortal herbs here, into the special environment of the Dragon Tomb...
Perhaps there's a chance I can help them develop intelligence and transform from a herb into a true plant-based soul beast!"
"Once you succeed."
Wei Feng's voice was full of temptation.
"When we 'hunt' it and refine it, we will gain more than just the medicinal effects of the immortal herb itself.
That's enough to take your cultivation to the next level!
What's more, you can also obtain a complete, top-level spirit ring that is up to 40,000 years old!"
"This kind of top-level spirit ring can be absorbed and refined by suitable spirit masters of the same clan, and fully utilized!"
This extremely bold idea exploded in Wei Zhenshan's mind like thunder!
Turn the immortal grass into a soul beast and then absorb it?
This is simply an unheard of idea!
But if you think about it carefully, if you can really succeed, the rewards will be...
It will go far beyond simply swallowing the herbal remedy!
Wei Zhenshan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but the doubts between his brows grew more and more intense.
But he still couldn't understand Wei Feng's wild idea:
"Feng'er, your idea is indeed amazing, but... Grandpa still doesn't understand one thing.
If what you said is true, these magical herbs have grown here for countless years, absorbing the essence of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but they have not been able to develop spiritual intelligence.
Why is there hope of success if it is transplanted into the Dragon Tomb space?"
Wei Feng had long anticipated his grandfather's question, and with a slightly "shy" smile on his face, he explained as if a little embarrassed:
"Grandpa, this is quite a coincidence.
When my grandson was young, he bought some extremely old fragments of notes on the street and saw some scattered records about the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
The book described a bizarre and fantastical place, saying that this place was formed by the fall of a dragon, and that there was a magical herb growing beside the spring that could help soul masters to be reborn...
At that time, the grandson just thought it was a strange story compiled by the predecessors and laughed it off.
Only after seeing it with my own eyes today did I know that everything described in the book was actually true!"
This excuse was indeed a bit far-fetched, but when Wei Zhenshan looked at his grandson's "sincere" eyes, the doubts in his heart instantly disappeared.
After all, he is his most beloved grandson who has repeatedly created miracles. If he said so, there must be a reason. It is always for the sake of his family and himself.
Seeing that his grandfather accepted his statement, Wei Feng was certain and continued to explain:
"As for why it was transplanted to the Dragon Tomb… it's because my grandson learned from those ancient books that although the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire can nourish all things, deep within its core, there may be the remnant soul of the giant dragon that fell here that year.
It invisibly suppresses the possibility of the living beings here to awaken their spiritual intelligence.
But our Dragon Tomb is different!"
Wei Feng's tone became firm:
"Inside the Dragon Tomb, countless ancient true dragons have fallen. Although the dragon souls contained within have become dormant, the soul energy they emit is still majestic and pure, permeating the entire space.
This ownerless, high-quality soul energy is the most fundamental and nourishing nutrient for any life that has not yet awakened its spiritual intelligence!"
"We transplanted these tens of thousands of years old immortal herbs with extremely profound heritage into the cave, allowing them to be constantly bathed in such rich dragon soul energy...
In the long run, it is very likely that this will accelerate, or even directly catalyze, their development of their own spiritual intelligence, thus transforming them into true plant-type soul beasts!"
Wei Feng's description paints a stunning picture of Wei Zhenshan:
In the silent dragon tomb, magical herbs absorb the power of the ancient dragon soul, eventually awakening consciousness and transforming into powerful soul beasts!
The logic behind this seems to be self-consistent!
Wei Zhenshan took a deep breath, and the doubt in his eyes finally turned into shock and expectation.
If this is true, the value of the Dragon Tomb space will far exceed his imagination!
After listening to Wei Feng's grand idea about catalyzing the magical grass, Wei Zhenshan's eyes flashed with a hint of passion, but it was immediately replaced by a deep solemnity.
He sighed slowly, and his tone became extremely serious:
"Feng'er, your idea is indeed very tempting. If it succeeds, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for our Wei family to change its destiny. But..."
Wei Zhenshan changed the subject, frowning:
"You know, the last time I went deep into the Dragon Tomb, in addition to collecting the soul bones left behind by the dissipated dragon souls on the periphery, I also noticed some unusual movements."
He seemed to be recalling the scene at that time, and his voice became low:
"In the outer area of the Dragon Tomb, as you said, dragon souls are constantly dissipating and transforming into pure energy.
But just as I was about to explore further, I faintly heard...
From the deepest part of the dragon tomb, came a roar so dull yet so soul-shaking that it seemed to tremble!
Wei Zhenshan's eyes became sharper, as if they could penetrate space and see the scene deep in the dragon tomb:
"That wasn't the sound of an ordinary dragon soul dissipating. It was more like the sound of some extremely powerful being...
Woke up for a moment, or turned over!
It might even be just a subtle aura emanating unconsciously!"
He looked at Wei Feng, his tone extremely serious:
"I suspect that within the core of the Dragon Tomb, there may be some terrifying existences sleeping that we cannot even imagine.
Perhaps some dragon souls are so powerful that even after eons, they still retain some of their former fighting power and will;
Or...even worse, there might be remnants of ancient true dragons that haven't been completely extinct yet!"
This speculation instantly made the atmosphere in the cave depressing.
If it is true as Wei Zhenshan said, then the Dragon Tomb is not only a treasure land full of opportunities, but also a restricted area containing huge unknown risks!
If you rashly transplant the magic grass in there and accidentally alarm the terrifying existence in the depths, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Upon hearing this, the excitement on Wei Feng's face gradually faded and he fell into deep thought.
Grandpa's worries were not unfounded. The mystery and danger of the Dragon Tomb might be far beyond his initial expectations.
But Wei Zhenshan immediately said:
"But I can still guarantee that I can transplant these herbs outside without going too deep and alerting the being deep within the dragon tomb."
Wei Zhenshan smiled and said with a chuckle:
"Although these herbs grow slowly due to the area, squeezing out other equally good herbs, if we transplant these tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years old herbs into the Dragon Tomb, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire will be empty."
"In a few years, or even a dozen years, these herbs that are only a few decades or a few hundred years old should be able to be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years old."
"With this precious land, why should our Burning Heaven Sect worry about not prospering?"
