[Facing your invitation, Ye Luo responds with courtesy yet distance, saying that as a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with only Innate Spirit Power of rank 3 he has no real future and is unworthy of Your Highness the Crown Prince's regard and grooming.]
[You understand this is a tactful refusal.]
[Naturally, you don't want to give up.]
[But no matter how much sincerity or goodwill you show, Ye Luo is determined not to leave with you.]
[He seems utterly unmoved by your status as Crown Prince or by the benefits of following you; accompanying you looks more like a dreadful burden.]
[And you can't bring yourself to drag him away by force.]
Massive Taiwanese novels await you
[Left with no choice, you finally sigh and depart in frustration.]
Impossible!
Seeing in the simulator that even a personal visit failed to persuade Ye Luo to leave with her, Qian Renxue simply can't understand.
She is the Crown Prince.
If Ye Luo followed her he would receive the finest training and instruction.
Any other young Spirit Master would jump at her offer and happily accompany her.
Why is this Ye Luo so different!
Qian Renxue rubs her forehead in resignation.
She can only conclude that perhaps true Geniuses are simply unconventional.
Still, Qian Renxue believes
there must be some way to recruit Ye Luo.
She just hadn't found it in this simulation.
As long as she keeps simulating
sooner or later she'll discover a method to make Ye Luo accept her invitation and leave with her.
[After returning to Heaven Dou Imperial City, however, you continue to have people watch Ye Luo, trying to learn more about him.]
[Later, you hear that Ye Luo spends his time in the village planting Blue Silver Grass everywhere.]
[Curious, you nevertheless dismiss it.]
What is Ye Luo doing planting Blue Silver Grass in the village?
Qian Renxue is puzzled and intrigued.
Ye Luo's Spirit is Blue Silver Grass.
Could planting it actually help him Cultivate?
Wait!
Suddenly Qian Renxue recalls the principle of Spirit mimicry training grounds.
If Spirit Masters with elemental Spirits can speed their Cultivation in matching environments,
wouldn't a meadow full of Blue Silver Grass serve as an alternative mimicry training ground for a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master?
In an instant Qian Renxue understands.
[A year passes in the blink of an eye.]
[In the second year you volunteer again, taking on the task of touring Heaven Dou Empire's border on behalf of the royal Family. While leading the Royal Knights on patrol you rescue Poison Douluo Dugu Bo from Chrysanthemum Douluo's hands.]
[Poison Douluo, who repays every kindness, declares himself willing to become your Guest Elder and to help whenever needed!]
[Because in the previous simulation you learned that Tang San obtained many herbs called Immortal Grade from Dugu Bo's Medicinal Garden,]
[some of which can even make Spirits evolve,]
[you seize a chance to express curiosity about the famed garden and ask to visit.]
[Since you saved his life, Dugu Bo readily agrees.]
[Under his guidance you reach Sunset Forest, enter its inner region, and arrive at a mist-shrouded mountain peak. After climbing it you enter a small valley filled with white fog.]
[Deep inside, a spectacle of natural wonder—so extraordinary it seems carved by divine hands—appears before your eyes and leaves you stunned.]
[At the valley's center lies a strange pool.]
[About three zhang in diameter, its waters are starkly divided into two colors: ice-blue springs that radiate biting cold and crimson springs that emit scorching heat.]
[The chill and the heat meet in the air, turning into thick white mist that rises skyward.]
[Thus the valley is filled with fog.]
[Around the pool grow all manner of exotic flowers and rare herbs seldom seen outside.]
[One bloom in particular is familiar to you.]
[It is the Spirit of Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan—exquisite treasure pagoda pear!]
[Suddenly you recall that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan is obsessed with flowers; his entire family has been for generations, reputedly expert in all kinds of rare flora.]
[You can't help thinking that if the chance arises you might return to Spirit City and ask Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to teach you about these plants.]
Dugu Bo's Medicinal Garden is actually this extraordinary?
Watching the simulator's description of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Renxue is stunned.
A pool half ice-blue, half crimson, one side exuding biting cold, the other scorching heat, their vapors mingling into dense mist—
she aches to see with her own eyes what such a strange pool looks like!
Her heart brims with anticipation and imagination.
At that moment a line of text appears on the simulator.
[Visual simulation will be available after upgrade.]
[Upgrade requirement: perform 10 simulations.]
[Current progress: 3/10]
"If I simulate seven more times I can upgrade the simulator and see the future in images?"
Qian Renxue's bright eyes widen eagerly.
[Yes.]
the simulator replies.
The simulation continues.
[Later you seize an opportunity while on an outing to return to Spirit City and find Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, asking to borrow his family's books on rare flowers and herbs.]
[Chrysanthemum Douluo dares not refuse and leads you into his family's library.]
[Inside you discover an ancient tome called immortal herb illustrated manual that records many Immortal Grade flowers, several of which grow in Dugu Bo's garden.]
[You are delighted,]
[for many of these Immortal Grade items can make Spirits evolve.]
[Back in Heaven Dou Imperial City you seek out Dugu Bo and ask to pick a few herbs from his garden.]
[You wish to harvest several Immortal Grade plants—one for yourself and the rest to take back to Spirit City for Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Lion, Grandpa Guang Ling, as well as Grandpa Qianjun and Grandpa Jiangmo.]
[Of course, you've also noticed one Immortal Grade herb perfect for Dugu Bo and will tell him to take it.]
Gasp!
Seeing the simulator state that Dugu Bo's garden holds more than one Spirit-evolving Immortal Grade plant, Qian Renxue inhales sharply, thrilled.
Since it says several such herbs grow there
and in the simulation she plans to pick some for Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Lion, Grandpa Guang Ling, Grandpa Qianjun, and Grandpa Jiangmo—
yet Grandpa Qingluan is not mentioned—
there must be enough Immortal Grade herbs for all of them to evolve their Spirits!
