...
Time quietly slipped away in the Sunset Forest.
From a sunny afternoon all the way to a starry midnight.
Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, two completely different energy fluctuations continuously rose.
Dugu Yan's body was wrapped in a layer of dense, dark green poisonous mist.
Within this poisonous mist, a faint, massive phantom of a Green Phosphor Serpent rolled and hissed in agony.
But as time passed, that dark green poisonous mist gradually became clear and transparent, resembling top-quality jade.
The medicinal power of the narcissus jade muscle bone was frantically cleansing her Meridians.
Transforming those lethal toxins into the purest energy, merging them deep into her Bloodline.
On the other side, Ye Lingling's situation appeared much quieter.
Her entire body was shrouded in a layer of soft pink-white halo.
A huge phantom of the Nine Heart Begonia floated above her head.
The mellow medicinal power of the eight-petaled immortal orchid continuously poured into this begonia flower like a gentle, trickling stream.
As the medicinal power poured in, the petals of the Nine Heart Begonia became increasingly vibrant and alluring, and the aura of life it emitted grew more and more immense.
Even the ordinary Blue Silver Grass around them grew frantically under the nourishment of this aura.
Luo Nan and Dugu Bo guarded the sides, left and right, not moving away even a single step.
"My Lord, will they... succeed?"
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter wrapped in the poisonous mist, his palms sweating nervously.
"Rest assured, with the foundation laid by the Whale Glue, absorbing the Immortal Plant won't pose any life-threatening danger; it's merely a matter of time."
Luo Nan appeared calm and composed, but his gaze was locked tightly onto the Nine Heart Begonia above Ye Lingling's head.
He desperately wanted to know whether the power of the Immortal Plant could truly counter the plane rules of the Douluo Continent.
At the break of dawn, the horizon had just begun to turn a faint fish-belly white.
Over at Ye Lingling's side, which had been as quiet as water all along, a sudden anomaly occurred!
"Hum—"
A crisp humming sound emanated from within Ye Lingling's body.
Following closely, the Nine Heart Begonia floating above her head suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling pink light, illuminating half of the valley.
The next moment, the Nine Heart Begonia above Ye Lingling's head began to tremble violently.
That begonia flower, which originally could only emit a single healing halo, now faintly exuded an inviolable, majestic aura of sanctity.
"It worked!" Brilliant light flashed in Luo Nan's eyes as he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.
Within those eyes that were originally as clear as water, there now seemed to be contained a vibrant, living starry sky.
Her temperament underwent a heaven-defying change; her original frailty was completely swept away, replaced by a sanctity full of vitality.
She blankly felt her Spirit within her body, which was now unobstructed and completely free of any sluggishness.
Two lines of clear tears uncontrollably slipped down the corners of her eyes.
"It's gone... That feeling of being bound is gone!"
Ye Lingling suddenly stood up; she could clearly feel the single-heir curse of the Nine Heart Begonia.
That shackle, as if carved into her genes, was completely shattered under the impact of the eight-petaled immortal orchid!
From now on, the Nine Heart Begonia would no longer be restricted in number, and her Family had finally ushered in a true dawn!
Extreme ecstasy made her lose her senses.
This eight-year-old loli, who usually possessed a cold personality.
At this moment, she was like a cheerful fledgling swallow, directly pouncing towards Luo Nan not far away.
"Master!"
Ye Lingling grabbed Luo Nan's neck, hanging her entire body on him, crying and laughing with excitement.
Afterwards, she actually made a move that caught everyone completely off guard.
"Mwah!"
Ye Lingling stood on tiptoe and forcefully kissed Luo Nan on the side of his face, the crisp sound echoing through the valley.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you!"
"Lingling's Spirit problem is solved, the Nine Heart Begonia finally has no restrictions! Wuwuwu..."
The little girl hugged Luo Nan, so excited that she was incoherent.
Luo Nan was slightly dazed by this sudden attack, feeling the lingering warmth on his cheek.
Looking at the little girl in his arms who was crying like a pear blossom drenched in rain yet full of happiness, his gaze instantly turned incomparably soft.
He reached out, gently patted Ye Lingling's back, then rubbed her aquamarine long hair, and said with a smile:
"Alright, alright, it's no big deal."
"You are my disciple; isn't it only natural for your master to help you solve your problems?"
"Hurry down, your Sister Yanyan isn't finished yet."
Luo Nan gently put Ye Lingling down and helped wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Right at this moment, astonishing commotion also came from Dugu Yan's side.
"Hiss-roar—!"
A soaring, piercing long howl that sounded neither quite like a snake nor quite like a dragon abruptly tore apart the silence of early morning.
The dark green poisonous mist wrapping around Dugu Yan instantly contracted, completely withdrawing into her body.
Following closely, an extremely terrifying pressure erupted from her body, shattering the gravel on the surrounding ground into pieces.
Only to see Dugu Yan with her eyes tightly closed, suspended in mid-air.
Behind her, that somewhat ferocious phantom of the Green Phosphor Serpent had completely vanished without a trace.
Replacing it was a terrifying giant snake more than twice its original size, its entire body covered in crystal-clear scales resembling top-quality jade, with even two small bumps bulging atop its head!
"Jade Phosphor Serpent! It really is the Jade Phosphor Serpent!"
Dugu Bo trembled all over with excitement, old tears streaming down his face.
He had been stuck at the Titled Douluo Realm for so many years, and his Spirit had only barely evolved to the level of the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Yet his granddaughter, merely before absorbing her first spirit ring, relied on a single Immortal Plant to directly cross this natural chasm, completing the ultimate evolution of her Spirit!
This not only meant that Dugu Yan had completely rid herself of the torment of toxic backlash,
it further meant that as long as she continued to Cultivate step by step, her future achievements would definitely surpass his, her grandfather's!
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, two rays of solid-looking dark green piercing light exploding outward.
She dropped down from mid-air, feeling the volcanic, formidable power within her body,
along with the natal poison that had completely merged with herself without a shred of stinging pain, she was so excited that she dropped directly to her knees in front of Luo Nan.
"Disciple Dugu Yan, many thanks to Master for the grace of rebirth!"
Dugu Yan's voice was resonant and powerful, filled with endless gratitude and awe.
"Get up. Spirit evolution is only the first step; the road ahead is still long."
Luo Nan virtually raised his right hand, a wave of soft Soul Power lifting Dugu Yan up.
Looking at the two reborn disciples before him, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Since your bodies and Spirits have already reached the most perfect state, then it is also time to go obtain your first spirit rings."
Luo Nan raised his head, looking toward the depths of the Sunset Forest, a confident smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"Today, I will lead you in breaking the common sense of the Douluo Continent!"
