"What on earth did that Stinky Kid find down there?"
"Why hasn't he come up yet?"
"This old man is worried to death."
By the shore.
Jin E was eating a roasted Soft Bones Rabbit leg and sipping some wine.
He didn't look worried at all.
At that moment, ripples appeared on the previously calm surface of the water.
"Finally coming up."
As he spoke.
Golden Crown had already swum up from the bottom.
"Hiss~ even though I've forged an Indestructible Vajra Body, it's still hard to resist the extreme cold and heat of this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"However, thankfully, this trip was quite fruitful."
"It was worth it."
"Speaking of which, since I've been down for so long, Grandpa must be very worried."
After putting on his clothes.
He turned his head.
Only to find the old man lying on a large rock with roasted meat in one hand and wine in the other, waving at him leisurely.
This made him very angry.
He had been working hard searching for treasures below.
Yet this old fogey was actually drinking wine and eating roasted meat.
And he was even eating roasted Soft Bones Rabbit.
Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat rabbits?
So, he walked over aggressively.
The next second.
"So delicious!"
Golden Crown, eating a roasted rabbit leg, uttered those words of ultimate truth.
Jin E took a sip of wine and asked with concern, "How was it? What did you gain?"
"Gains? They're massive."
Golden Crown described what had just happened while eating.
When he heard that two dragon corpses were buried underground and that Golden Crown had absorbed two million-year spirit bones.
Jin E completely lost his composure.
Having lived for over a hundred years, he had only seen a few 100,000-year spirit bones.
Let alone a million-year spirit bone.
But as it turned out, his grandson had actually absorbed two million-year spirit bones at once.
This simply couldn't be described as unprecedented anymore.
"Absorbed two million-year spirit bones!"
"Are you crazy?"
Seeing the old man about to start scolding, Golden Crown quickly interrupted him: "Don't worry, Grandpa. You don't know, but the absorption of these million-year spirit bones went exceptionally smoothly. See, aren't I perfectly fine?"
Jin E gave him an annoyed glare: "You kid are really too reckless."
Although he said that, he was happy for his grandson in his heart.
After all, those were million-year spirit bones.
And there were fucking two of them.
As long as no accidents happened in the future, Golden Crown would surely grow to be the strongest Soul Master on the continent.
Bar none.
Once he had mostly recovered his physical strength, Golden Crown took out the encyclopedia of immortal herbs atlas and flipped through it.
He was looking for information on the two medicinal ingredients he had just picked below.
Soon, he found them in the content recorded on the last line of the Immortal Herbs section.
Ninth Grade Dragon Ganoderma - Ice, one of the top-tier Immortal Herbs. It grows by absorbing the aura of the Ice Dragon King and contains the power of the Ice Dragon King's bloodline. It can help the Martial Soul evolution of ice-attribute beast Soul Masters. If the Martial Soul contains dragon bloodline, there is a chance to awaken the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul. It has the same effect if consumed by a Spirit Beast.
Ninth Grade Dragon Ganoderma - Fire, one of the top-tier Immortal Herbs. It grows by absorbing the aura of the Fire Dragon King and contains the power of the Fire Dragon King's bloodline. It can help the Martial Soul evolution of fire-attribute beast Soul Masters. If the Martial Soul contains dragon bloodline, there is a chance to awaken the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul. It has the same effect if consumed by a Spirit Beast.
"So that's how it is."
"These two Immortal Herbs were actually nurtured by the bloodlines of the two great Dragon Kings."
"Pity my two Martial Souls don't match these two Immortal Herbs."
"I can only put them aside for now."
After saying that with secret regret in his heart.
Golden Crown took the book and began wandering around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Next, he needed to properly plan how to distribute these Immortal Herbs.
First, naturally, was Jin E.
He was his own grandfather, so putting him first wasn't asking too much, right?
Furthermore, because of bloodline, talent, and other factors, the old man had been stuck at Rank 98 for a long time.
After a short while.
He focused his attention on an Immortal Herb.
Dragon Blood Bone-Forging Ganoderma.
It was formed by absorbing the essence of dragon blood and dragon souls over a thousand years.
The dragon blood and dragon soul it contained could further purify the bloodline of a beast Soul Master, with a chance to evolve their Martial Soul.
In addition, this Immortal Herb had effects like increasing potential and cultivation speed, and extending life by fifty years.
It could be said to be very suitable for Jin E.
With a swift movement of his knife, he picked the Dragon Blood Bone-Forging Ganoderma, quickly stored it in a jade vessel, and handed it to Jin E.
"Grandpa, this Immortal Herb will be of great help to your cultivation breakthrough."
"Remember, this Immortal Herb cannot leave the jade storage, otherwise its medicinal effects will dissipate."
"After returning to the Hall of Worship, take it along with several mild herbs."
Taking the jade vessel, Jin E nodded.
He placed the medicinal herb into his spirit tool.
Then Golden Crown selected several Immortal Herbs for Qian Renxue and the other worshipers.
Then he thought about what Immortal Herb he should give Ye Lingling.
Although the core effect of the qiluo begonia was to break limits and evolve the Martial Soul.
It would still be difficult to cure the defect of the Nine Star Begonia with the medicinal power of just one Immortal Herb.
It might only work if paired with another Immortal Herb.
Which Immortal Herb would be good?
"I remember the qiluo begonia seems to pair very well with one particular Immortal Herb."
Thinking of this.
He quickly began searching in the encyclopedia of immortal herbs atlas.
"This is it, the eight petal immortal orchid."
The eight petal immortal orchid.
It belonged to the rank of Immortal Herbs.
It had the effects of strengthening the foundation, nurturing the essence, and expelling impurities.
It was known as the 'Mandarin Duck Immortal Herb' combination with the qiluo begonia; the two complemented each other.
If taken together, they would produce a miraculous effect where 1+1>2.
Following the manual, Golden Crown quickly found these two Immortal Herbs.
He took out a small knife made of gold and picked the qiluo begonia and the eight petal immortal orchid.
He placed them into jade containers.
Through continuous harvesting, all the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were taken by Golden Crown.
Of course, for those medicinal herbs that hadn't fully grown yet.
He naturally didn't touch them.
Looking at the fresh ninth grade purple ganoderma he had just picked.
Golden Crown frowned.
This herb was not among the Immortal Herbs.
But its attributes were neutral, and it had the effects of strengthening the foundation, restoring blood and qi, and increasing cultivation power.
In the original story, it was eaten by that scum and loser Yu Xiaogang.
Thereby breaking the shackles of his Martial Soul, allowing the Spirit Grandmaster who had been stuck for twenty years to finally advance.
Of course, since he had now secured this Immortal Herb first.
It was naturally impossible for Yu Xiaogang to get it.
But there didn't seem to be anyone around him suitable to take this herb.
Wait... suddenly, a person came to Golden Crown's mind.
Ye Susu!
The current Sect Master of the Nine Star Begonia Sect and Ye Lingling's mother.
A Rank 79 Support-type Soul Master.
As Ye Lingling awakened her Martial Soul, this beautiful woman's life was coming to an end due to the defect of the Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul.
If she took the ninth grade purple ganoderma, Ye Susu would surely be able to recover.
When the time came, he could appeal to her emotions and reason.
Perhaps he could even get the Nine Star Begonia Sect to join Spirit Hall.
Then they would have an additional top-tier Spirit Douluo-level healing-type Soul Master on their side.
This was much more valuable than giving the ninth grade purple ganoderma to a loser like Yu Xiaogang.
"Good, let's do it that way."
