Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there was a poisonous array set up by Dugu Bo, which could kill even ordinary Spirit Saint-level Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts of thirty to fifty thousand years if they inhaled the poison.
This was the reason why the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had never been disturbed by outside Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts.
Now, Wang Li was immune to all poisons, and Dugu Yan, as Dugu Bo's granddaughter, surely carried antidotes, so they did not need to worry.
After leaving this poisonous array, they would have to face various Spirit Beasts of different ages that could appear at any time in the Sunset Forest.
Wang Li stopped, and with a thought, activated his Blue Silver Domain; his mental force spread with the Blue Silver Domain, establishing a connection with every Blue Silver Grass within the Blue Silver Domain.
In an instant, Wang Li felt as if he had opened a new World; he gained countless eyes and ears, which allowed him to know everything within several hundred meters around him.
That feeling was truly marvelous.
He could even perceive simple emotions from these Blue Silver Grasses; they were very happy, having not felt the guidance of a superior for many years.
Wang Li's appearance made them rejoice and greatly inspired them.
At this moment, Wang Li had a thought and then said to Dugu Yan:
"Yan Yan Jie, wait a moment!"
Dugu Yan was a bit confused but still stopped and waited.
Immediately, Wang Li summoned his Spirit and used his Second Soul Skill; his spirit power was converted into life force and distributed evenly to all the Blue Silver Grasses through the Blue Silver Domain.
This was incredible; even a tiny bit of the Blue Silver King's life force was enough to cause a tremendous transformation in ordinary Blue Silver Grasses.
All the Blue Silver Grasses began to grow vigorously, albeit slowly, but visibly; they swayed desperately, bowing in submission towards Wang Li's location, swearing allegiance:
"King…King…"
They selflessly offered their power, which, through the Blue Silver Domain, returned to Wang Li.
Wang Li closed his eyes, then opened them.
His eyes were filled with surprise; he felt that his spirit power, his mental force, and his life essence had all increased slightly.
Not only that, there was also an ineffable marvelous power; Wang Li could not name this thing, but he felt that it truly existed.
Moreover, Wang Li looked at all the Blue Silver Grasses again, his eyes filled with deep meaning; these Blue Silver Grasses had all pledged allegiance to him, and from now on, they would all be considered his, Wang Li's, subjects.
The Blue Silver Emperor had status but no power, and the Blue Silver King had power but no status.
Theoretically, the throne was vacant!
So, for the Son of Heaven, whoever had strong troops could claim it!
At this moment, Dugu Yan looked around, seeing all the Blue Silver Grasses growing vigorously and kneeling in submission to Wang Li; this marvelous sight greatly astonished her, and she asked curiously:
"Xiao Li, what's going on?"
Wang Li smiled and then explained:
"Yan Yan Jie, I've discovered another way to speed up my cultivation; I cover the Blue Silver Grasses with my Blue Silver Domain, then use my Second Soul Skill to enhance them, and they, in turn, will feed back to me, giving me a comprehensive improvement."
After listening, Dugu Yan was also happy for Wang Li and simultaneously covered her mouth, chuckling, saying:
"This is a good thing! And from the way these Blue Silver Grasses are submitting to you, you must have become their King!"
Wang Li nodded, smiling, and said:
"My Mutated Blue Silver Grass Spirit can truly be called the Blue Silver King now. Yan Yan Jie, let's go. With my Blue Silver Domain, all the Blue Silver Grasses will help us scout the way, so there won't be any danger."
Dugu Yan was very envious; having a Domain was so convenient. Playing with the Yearning Heartbroken Red in her hand, she was gradually falling behind Wang Li's pace, which gave her a sense of frustration but also made her look forward to three months later.
Her grandfather was currently a ninety-third-level Titled Douluo; after going to the Star Luo Empire, if that Bai family truly had the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he would definitely help her obtain it, whether by force or by acquisition.
For this, she could only apologize; if the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng could truly change her Spirit's flaws, then its value would undoubtedly be immense.
Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li, her eyes firm; she must have enough power to keep up with Wang Li's pace. As for the Bai family, she could only offer more compensation.
Then, burying these thoughts deep in her heart, Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li and said with a soft laugh:
"We have five days off from the academy after hunting Spirit Beasts. Come on, big sister will treat you to a big meal in Heaven Dou City today. We can return to the academy before tomorrow."
Wang Li, of course, didn't mind. In the past few days, he had either been absorbing Immortal Herbs or helping Dugu Bo expel poison, then sleeping soundly, without having eaten properly, his stomach empty.
Upon hearing about a big meal, he immediately nodded in agreement:
"Alright."
In the Sunset Forest, this rather well-known wild Spirit Beast forest, there were quite a few Spirit Beasts ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of years old.
However, Wang Li relied on his Blue Silver Domain and the Blue Silver Grasses to scout the way, perfectly passing by them without any conflicts.
At Wang Li and Dugu Yan's speed, rushing at full power without considering encountering Spirit Beasts, it didn't take long for them to leave the Sunset Forest area.
At this time, Wang Li looked back; he would find an opportunity next time to traverse every corner of the Sunset Forest and turn all the Blue Silver Grasses into his subjects.
Although Immortal Herbs gave him a tremendous boost, no Immortal Herb could provide him with as comprehensive an improvement as these Blue Silver Grasses.
Although each Blue Silver Grass was very weak, together, they were somewhat terrifying; he could feel that this power, both of the same race and origin, greatly and comprehensively improved him.
Heaven Dou City!
Walking on the streets of Heaven Dou City, Wang Li's gaze swept across various places, choosing a dining spot, but just then, Dugu Yan suddenly said:
"Xiao Li, I saw someone selling candied haws again! Wait a moment, I'll buy you a few skewers!"
After speaking, Dugu Yan jogged away.
Wang Li wanted to call out to her, but it was already too late; he wanted to tell Dugu Yan that he was no longer a child, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Soon, Dugu Yan returned, holding two skewers of candied haws, and looking at Wang Li, she said softly:
"Still the same, I'll feed you!"
As her words fell, she slightly parted her red lips and bit into a hawthorn covered in syrup; with a gentle pull of her hand, the hawthorn came off.
Then, without eating it, she looked at Wang Li with expectant eyes.
Wang Li was stunned for a moment; after all, they were on a busy street with many passersby, but he looked at Dugu Yan, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.
Finally, he stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Dugu Yan's slender waist, kissed her red lips, and bit off half a hawthorn from her mouth.
Dugu Yan ate the other half of the hawthorn, then gently asked:
"Is it sweet?"
A hawthorn covered in syrup, did the taste even need to be mentioned? Wang Li replied:
"Sweet!"
Such intimate actions naturally attracted attention, but Wang Li and Dugu Yan, at this moment, only had each other, with a kind of… romantic disregard for others.
