Although Ye Guyi's process of absorbing the Hundred Thousand-year Infernal Delicate Apricot Soul Ring was very smooth, it still took a full three days and three nights.
It was only this morning that she finished her cultivation. Immediately afterward, she began fusing with the left arm soul bone that the Infernal Delicate Apricot had dropped upon its death.
A Hundred Thousand-year soul beast was different from other soul beasts. When killed by a soul master, it was guaranteed to drop a Hundred Thousand-year soul bone. Moreover, the soul bone that appeared would invariably be the one most suitable for the soul master at that moment.
Since Ye Guyi had previously fused with a right arm soul bone, the soul bone produced from the death of this Infernal Delicate Apricot was naturally its counterpart, the left arm soul bone.
This could be considered one of the special rules within the cultivation system of soul masters and soul beasts in the Douluo plane.
Crimson light and airflow swirled above Ye Guyi's left arm. A dazzling radiance seemed to cover the surface of her fair and delicate skin, with flowing halos of light.
Xu Zihuang could clearly sense that Ye Guyi's aura was steadily growing stronger.
The foundation of Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul was already profound. Now, after consecutively fusing with a Hundred Thousand-year soul ring and a Hundred Thousand-year soul bone, her overall strength would undoubtedly experience a massive leap.
While Ye Guyi was fusing with the soul ring and soul bone, Xu Zihuang had long since turned the Qiluo Heart into a necklace-style soul guide device. The unique properties of the Qiluo Heart were isolated by the core array contained within the necklace, and its original effects would only be restored when soul power was infused.
The chain itself was crafted from a rare and precious metal, presenting a brilliant purple-gold color. At the center of the necklace hung the Qiluo Heart as its pendant.
This necklace was now hung on the Medusa's head, soul bone, floating in midair.
While sitting cross-legged, Xu Zihuang used his spiritual power to carefully observe all the plant-type soul beasts within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Many of those plant-type soul beasts possessed cultivation of several tens of thousands of years, and there were even some approaching a hundred thousand years.
Another Yearning Heartbroken Red was among them. Apart from that, Yearning Heartbroken Red, there was also a Land Dragon Golden Melon that likewise possessed cultivation close to a hundred thousand years.
The Land Dragon Golden Melon had the ability of Earth Dragon Overturn, making it most suitable for soul masters with earth-attribute martial souls—especially those with earth-attribute dragon martial souls.
Then there were immortal herbs such as the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemumand the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, whose cultivation was around fifty thousand years.
Immortal herbs of this level naturally still had some use for Xu Zihuang. Although their attributes did not match him particularly well, they were still better than nothing.
The only immortal herb that had a relatively large effect on Xu Zihuang was a single stalk of the Origin Energy Immortal Grass.
The Origin Energy Immortal Grass was a supreme treasure for increasing soul power cultivation. Moreover, it could assist in compressing soul power and condensing a soul core. It had no other special attributes, and its medicinal effect was gentle, allowing it to be absorbed by any soul master.
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Zihuang still decided to take this Origin Energy Immortal Grass. Whether for himself or for Ye Guyi, this herb would have considerable use.
The more singular the effect of an immortal herb, the greater its enhancement within that single effect.
This Origin Energy Immortal Grass possessed a cultivation of sixty thousand years, enough to assist a peak Soul Douluo in smoothly condensing a soul core and breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm. During this process, the possibility of failure in condensing the soul core approached zero. This was because any soul master who could cultivate to the peak of Soul Douluo would have a martial soul of high quality and profound foundation.
This Origin Energy Immortal Grass was equivalent to helping a soul master skip the most critical and difficult steps of soul power compression and soul core condensation, and the soul core formed would be extremely stable. Afterward, one only needed to naturally guide the fusion between the soul core and the body.
This was the efficacy of a top-tier immortal herb.
Xu Zihuang stepped forward and arrived in front of the entirely pure white, jade-like Origin Energy Immortal Grass.
Xu Zihuang's sudden action instantly drew the attention of the Aromatic Silk Beauty Herb, the Qiluo Tulip, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the three great Hundred Thousand-year soul beasts.
After remaining silent for so long, Xu Zihuang had finally made a move on the other immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But they had to admit that Xu Zihuang's eyesight was indeed viciously sharp. What shocked them even more was that Xu Zihuang seemed to understand the properties of many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well like the back of his hand.
Under the watchful gazes of Aromatic Silk Beauty Herb and the others, Xu Zihuang extended his left hand and reached toward the jade-like Origin Energy Immortal Grass.
The Origin Energy Immortal Grass trembled lightly, and a powerful white light surged from it. A thick wave of energy pushed outward. However, this solid, almost tangible white light sphere was completely melted away the moment it touched the destructive flame overflowing from Xu Zihuang's left palm.
After only an instinctive moment of resistance, the Origin Energy Immortal Grass ceased its struggle and allowed Xu Zihuang to pluck it. Of course, the root was left intact.
A faint illusory white silhouette rose from the root of the Origin Energy Immortal Grass, vaguely resembling a chubby young man. With a bitter expression, the youth bowed toward Xu Zihuang, then merged back into the root.
The Origin Energy Immortal Grass knew that it had no power to resist Xu Zihuang. Although losing its main body had destroyed its sixty-thousand-year cultivation in an instant, fortunately, Xu Zihuang had not erased its origin power.
In this way, it could rely on the root to cultivate and recover its cultivation in a short time.
Since Xu Zihuang had not pursued total extermination, naturally it would not fail to appreciate the kindness.
Although the Origin Energy Immortal Grass appeared slender, it felt surprisingly heavy and substantial in hand. Xu Zihuang placed it into a jade box for safekeeping, then raised his head and fixed his gaze on the Qiluo Tulip.
The Qiluo Tulip's heart jolted. With a wry smile, it said, "Given your character, you shouldn't go back on your word, right?"
"I'm not the kind of person who would do that. Since I made a promise earlier, I will naturally keep it."
Xu Zihuang spoke calmly, "I only need some things from you to help a friend of mine complete the evolution of their martial soul. That friend comes from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan; you should understand what I mean."
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?" The Qiluo Tulip immediately understood. In its past life, it had been refined by Ning Rongrong, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, allowing her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and laying the foundation for her to become a god.
Under its control, specks of golden pollen drifted out from the brilliant golden tulip at the top of its main body, gathering in front of Xu Zihuang. When these pollen grains appeared, the rich and magnificent fragrance even surpassed the elegant floral scent of the Aromatic Silk Beauty Herb.
"This is the essence pollen I have cultivated for a hundred thousand years. It should be sufficient to help your friend evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul."
The aura of the Qiluo Tulip became noticeably weaker, but it showed almost no resistance. This outcome was far better than what it had initially expected.
Xu Zihuang took out another jade box and stored away the essence pollen released by the Qiluo Tulip, then nodded.
