"This is…"
As Ye Yu saw the blue-silver glow that enveloped his body, spreading out in a ten-meter radius, a deep sense of astonishment filled his heart.
Wasn't this the Blue Silver Domain that Tang San obtained in the original story after awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, when his Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolved into the Blue Silver Empress?
But right now, although Ye Yu's Blue Silver Grass had undergone two evolutions, at most, it had only reached the level of the Blue Silver King.
Moreover, his current soul power was only at rank 10—barely a Soul Master!
Suddenly, a thought struck Ye Yu—Tang San's aunt, Tang Yuehua.
Her martial soul was the mutated Ruyi Ring, derived from the Clear Sky Hammer.
And she possessed a talent domain—Noble Circle.
This showed that awakening a talent domain wasn't necessarily restricted by soul power level.
As for his current martial soul, Blue Silver Glazed Vine—although it might not have reached the level of the Blue Silver Emperor, it had definitely achieved the level of the Blue Silver King.
Furthermore, he had already fused the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone.
Perhaps that had some influence.
For instance, it might have allowed his Blue Silver Glazed Vine to prematurely acquire part of the Blue Silver Emperor's essence—thus granting him the Blue Silver Domain.
And while the appearance was similar, who's to say it had to be the exact Blue Silver Emperor's domain?
Couldn't it simply be a slightly inferior version—a domain suitable for the Blue Silver King?
Realizing that his martial soul had awakened a Talent Domain: Blue Silver Domain after evolving into the Blue Silver Glazed Vine, Ye Yu was overjoyed.
After all, he still planned to consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to temper his body with ice and fire.
Then he would take the Delicate Immortal Chrysanthemum and Jade Phosphor Crystal Bone to further refine his physique.
Although taking multiple immortal herbs consecutively might lead to medicinal resistance and reduce their effects—making it somewhat wasteful—his innate talent in this life was far too lacking.
Even with the cheat-like power of the inner core method, Ye Yu still felt inadequate.
If he wanted to achieve something great—or even aspire to divinity—this was the only path he could take!
Besides, having consumed large amounts of whale rubber since childhood…
With the upcoming dual-element tempering and further refinement from the Chrysanthemum and the Jade Bone…
Plus, the second soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone:
"Where Wildfire Burns Endlessly, Spring Winds Bring Life Again"—a life-saving ability—
Ye Yu intended to absorb a millennium soul ring as his very first ring!
Of course, absorbing a thousand-year ring right away was undeniably powerful…
But it would also be far too conspicuous.
Once exposed, it could draw unwanted attention—and even bring mortal danger.
However, with the Blue Silver Domain, which possessed camouflage capabilities—allowing the disguise of soul ring colors and the concealment of soul fluctuations—
It was perfect!
It completely resolved his concerns!
"This is… a talent domain?!"
After Ye Yu released the Blue Silver Domain, Dugu Bo observed closely, and then exclaimed in shock.
Talent domains…
Only martial souls of extremely high quality possessed such capabilities.
This brat Ye Yu—after his martial soul evolved again—its quality must have risen dramatically.
His current martial soul likely already reached the level of a top-tier plant martial soul!
"Grandfather, what's a talent domain?"
Standing to the side, Dugu Yan was still unfamiliar with the term. Her beautiful emerald eyes, beneath her short purple hair, were filled with confusion as she asked.
Dugu Bo patiently explained the concept of talent domains to her.
"Grandfather! Are you saying that Ye Yu's martial soul has now become extremely high in quality?"
After hearing the explanation, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. Her beautiful and heroic face, with its refined features, was now filled with excitement.
"Then… can I be with Ye Yu now?"
Dugu Bo: "…"
He hadn't expected that once Dugu Yan learned Ye Yu's martial soul had likely reached top-tier quality, she would immediately blurt out such a question.
Dugu Bo's emotions were complicated—five parts displeasure, three parts heartache, two parts helplessness.
In the end, he could only sigh deeply and say, holding back his pain:
"…Fine! Grandfather agrees to let you be with this brat!"
"What a bargain for you, you little punk!"
He gritted his teeth and shot Ye Yu a glare, full of bitterness.
"Ye Yu! Grandfather agrees to let us be together!"
Tears welled up in Dugu Yan's eyes. Overcome with emotion and joy, she threw herself into Ye Yu's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Teacher! I promise I'll take good care of Yan Yan! I'll never let her be bullied!"
"As long as I'm here, I'll make sure she's always happy and smiling!"
Ye Yu embraced Dugu Yan tightly, his face brimming with happiness as he solemnly vowed to Dugu Bo.
"Hmph! Still calling me 'Teacher'?"
Dugu Bo crossed his arms and snorted with a frown.
"Grandfather!"
Ye Yu immediately corrected himself with respectful enthusiasm.
"From now on, you'd better take care of Yan Yan! Keep your word!"
"If not… this old man won't go easy on you!"
After warning Ye Yu…
Because the Black Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot had successfully triggered Ye Yu's martial soul evolution, it proved that the effects of the immortal herbs were real.
Now eager to test it further, Dugu Bo couldn't wait.
He urged Ye Yu to harvest the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and give it to his granddaughter Dugu Yan.
Then he asked if there were any herbs suitable for him.
Ye Yu had planned to use the Jade Phosphor Crystal Bone for himself.
So instead, he recommended the Nine-Petal Purple Ganoderma to Dugu Bo.
After requesting a jade knife and two jade boxes from Dugu Bo…
Ye Yu made his way toward the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and the Nine-Petal Purple Ganoderma, carefully harvesting both and placing them into the jade boxes.
He handed them to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, respectively.
"Yan Yan, for the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid—only eat the petals, then suck the nectar to absorb the essence."
"As for Grandfather's Nine-Petal Ganoderma—just eat it directly."
Ye Yu smiled as he explained the consumption methods.
Following Ye Yu's instructions, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground.
After consuming the orchid and the ganoderma, they closed their eyes and began meditating.
In an instant, dazzling snow-white and violet light erupted from their bodies.
Under the powerful effects of the immortal herbs—
Dugu Yan's soul power surged rapidly—from newly advanced Soul Grandmaster at rank 21, she rocketed straight to rank 30!
As for Dugu Bo, his rank increased from 91 to 92!
When Dugu Yan finished refining the medicine's effects…
It was already evening.
Ye Yu took out a Soulforce Testing Crystal used to check the power of Soul Grandmasters and tested Dugu Yan's strength.
Finding that she had truly reached rank 30, Dugu Bo was overjoyed—his mouth nearly split from smiling.
"These immortal herbs truly are extraordinary!"
"Yan Yan's soul power… actually jumped straight to rank 30!"
"Good! Excellent!"
Now that Dugu Yan had reached the Soul Elder realm…
Naturally, Dugu Bo began preparing to help her hunt for her third soul ring.
