Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 157 Fiery Apricot Blossoms and Delicate Sacrifice

"Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal, Blazing Fire Pearl".

Dugu Han murmured something, then looked at the fragrant and beautiful herbs and said with a smile, "Eight-starch and Fiery Apricot have such treasures, you should have them too!"

"We really don't!"

The group of immortal herbs gave a wry smile.

Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin explained with a wry smile, "Only Bajiao and Ajiao can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spring water; we can't do that."

"For us, that spring water is highly poisonous; only Star Anise and Ajiao can tolerate it," Qiluo Tulip added, feeling aggrieved.

"Yeah yeah!"

The eight-petaled fairy orchid whispered, "We already gave you the essence that we've accumulated over ten thousand years last time!"

"..."

After listening to the explanations from the group of immortal herbs, Dugu Han thought about it for a moment and it seemed to make sense.

Over ten thousand years, they were able to cultivate to a level of one hundred thousand years by utilizing the terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and each of them condensed their own essence. This was already the limit!
Moreover, unlike the octagonal and fiery apricot blossoms, they cannot directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the spring water, so they rarely have the time to condense treasures similar to the octagonal mystic ice crystal.

"Fine!"

Dugu Han nodded, deciding not to make things difficult for them any further, and quietly waited for Liehuo Xingjiaoshu to come up.

Before long, Liehuo Xingjiao emerged from the Blazing Yangquan with an extremely hot bead that was burning with flames all over its body.

There is also a large dragon scale underneath.

Liehuo Xingjiao said regretfully, "It's a pity I can't take it!"

"Dragon scales?"

Dugu Han paused, then asked in confirmation, "You mean dragon scales?"

"Yes, dragon scales!"

Liehuo Xingjiao said regretfully, "It must be a treasure, but I can't get close to it, otherwise I would have taken it out too!"

"You're lucky you didn't take it!"

Dugu Han breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it couldn't get close to the dragon scale. As long as Liehuo Xingjiao didn't touch the dragon scale, it was fine.

The dragon scales at the bottom of the Blazing Sun Spring must be the scales of the Fire Dragon King.

Although they are just scales, no one knows whether taking them will awaken the souls of the two dragon kings.

"Why? I feel like it's a treasure."

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was somewhat puzzled. It felt that the fire attribute on the dragon scale was even purer than its own ultimate fire, so it must be a treasure.

"It is indeed a treasure, but you can only use it if you are alive."

Dugu Han rolled his eyes, then condensed a layer of ice beyond the limit in his palm and used his soul power to take the Blazing Fire Pearl.

The Blazing Inferno Bead was engulfed in raging flames, flames of the highest caliber.

The moment it landed on Dugu Han's palm, it instantly melted the solid ice on his hand, making a hissing sound and emitting a puff of white smoke.

Dugu Han glanced at his palm; the ice in his palm had melted a little, but that was all.

He then carefully observed the Blazing Fire Bead.

Thick emulsion flowed between the beads.

"This is the essence of the Blazing Inferno Bead."

Liehuo Xingjiao explained, "You can embed the Blazing Fire Bead into a weapon to give it the effect of extreme fire, provided that the weapon can withstand the burning of extreme fire."

"Can it be used to increase the lifespan of a soul bone?"

Dugu Han said, "The octagonal octagonal Xuanbing Crystal can increase the lifespan of a soul bone."

"Of course we can, but wouldn't that be too wasteful?" Liehuo Xing argued softly.

"Let's see what Wu Ming chooses later!"

Dugu Han pondered for a moment, then put away the Blazing Fire Pearl and looked at Wu Ming.

Wu Ming was still meditating to recover her soul power.

However, because the fire element was very concentrated near the Blazing Sun Spring, her soul power recovered very quickly, and in just a short while, it had recovered a lot.

Liehuo Xingjiao also looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Should I offer myself as a sacrifice to her now?"

"We'll perform the sacrifice once her soul power has recovered."

Dugu Han glanced at it and said.

It would be safer for Wu Ming to accept the sacrifice after his soul power has recovered. Even if Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu tries to do something, Wu Ming's physique, strengthened by a 50,000-year soul bone and two 100,000-year soul bones, can withstand it.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is not only a paradise for plant-type soul beasts, but also a paradise for ice and fire attribute soul masters.

The ice and fire elements here are exceptionally concentrated, especially closer to the spring.

Wu Ming sat cross-legged beside the blazing Yang Spring and meditated. In just one hour, he restored his soul power to its peak.

She opened her eyes, looked at the waiting Dugu Han, and smiled, "Alright, my body is still a little weak from using the Martial Soul True Body and the Burning Body Soul Skill, but it's enough to absorb its soul rings and soul bones!"

"Row!"

Dugu Han smiled, then said to Lie Huoxing, who was standing beside him, "Let's begin!"

"it is good!"

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu took a deep breath and began to bid farewell to the immortal herbs that had accompanied it for ten thousand years, including Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin, Qiluo Tulip, and Baban Xianlan.

The fragrant and exquisite herbs, along with other immortal herbs, were also very reluctant to part with them, after all, they had been family members who had accompanied each other for thousands of years!

But there was nothing they could do, they couldn't defeat Dugu Han, and Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was even dragged out of the Blazing Yang Spring by Wu Ming.

Currently, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu either has to sacrifice herself to wait for resurrection, or be killed directly, and then Dugu Han and the other two will take her soul ring and soul bone. There is no other way.

"Take care!"

After bidding farewell to the group of immortal herbs with a wry smile, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu flew to a meter in front of Wu Ming and landed.

It looked at Wu Ming and pleaded, "You must become that Sun God, you must resurrect me! I haven't lived enough yet!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming glanced at Dugu Han.

Dugu Han nodded in support of her.

Upon seeing this, Wu Ming solemnly promised Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu, "I will definitely strive to become a god. As long as I can become a god, I will definitely resurrect you."

"Thank you!"

After receiving the most basic guarantee, Liehuo Xingjiao nodded gratefully, and then blazing flames ignited behind her.

The flames wrapped around it like layers of crimson silk, and its body began to become transparent in the scorching heat.

"Ah Jiao!"

Seeing this, the other immortal herbs couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow. "It's alright, I can still revive!"

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu looked at the group of immortal herbs and forced a smile. Her transparent body slowly dissipated into specks of golden light, which gently merged into Wu Ming's body.

At the same time, a piece of left arm bone containing the soul of Liehuo Xingjiao slowly adhered to Wu Ming's left arm and merged into it.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black and black!
Seven spirit rings automatically appeared on Wu Ming's body.

Immediately afterwards, a transparent eighth spirit ring slowly condensed and took shape.

Then a splash of white filled in the color of the spirit ring, turning it into a ten-year white spirit ring. Not long after, the ten-year white spirit ring turned into a hundred-year yellow spirit ring, and an hour later it turned into a thousand-year purple spirit ring again...

Until one day later!

The deep, jet-black spirit ring completely transformed into a blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring.

The moment the 100,000-year soul ring entered her body, Wu Ming suddenly opened her eyes, and a golden flame flashed across them.

"How about it?"

Dugu Han stayed by her side the whole time and immediately asked, "Has the Golden Crow Sacred Flame evolved into its ultimate form?"

"It has evolved into the ultimate fire!"

Wu Ming stood up excitedly, and extended her right hand, where a pure golden flame ignited in her palm.

The moment this pure golden flame appeared, the surrounding air was instantly distorted by its intense heat.

"Great!"

Dugu Han was also happy for Wu Ming.

Although her Golden Crow Sacred Flame has not yet surpassed its ultimate form and is not yet qualified to inherit the Sun God's power, it has already taken the first successful step towards becoming a truly ultimate flame.

"My soul power also broke through to level 85."

Wu Ming continued, "Ah Jiao's soul ring and soul bone, combined with the soul power from the 100,000-year-old right leg bone I absorbed earlier, directly pushed my soul power level to level 85."

"Moreover, Ah Jiao's soul ring and soul bone provided me with two powerful soul skills."

"The soul skill provided by Ajiao's soul ring is the Blazing God Chain, a soul skill that can control both a wide area and a single target, and an amplification-type soul skill called Ultimate Fire Amplification, which is the same as your Ultimate Ice Amplification."

"The Soul Bone skills are a defensive skill called Fire Lotus Guardian and a domain skill called Golden Crow Sacred Domain."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, she walked up to Dugu Han and looked at him with undisguised love in her eyes.

Leaving aside the ethereal divine inheritance, there is the 50,000-year-old right arm bone, two leg bones of about 100,000 years old, the sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old Fiery Apricot, and the Golden Crow Sacred Fire that evolved to its ultimate form.

All of this was brought to her by Dugu Han, things she never dared to dream of before.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Dugu Han asked with a smile.

"nice!"

"I love watching it!"

As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking boldly, her cheeks flushed red, and even the roots of her ears turned red.

But she still didn't avoid Dugu Han's gaze. Instead, she slightly raised her head and then silently closed her eyes.

Dugu Han looked at her strangely, then walked towards the Fragrant Silk Fairy Shop.

"We have nothing left to give you!"

When Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin saw Dugu Han approaching, she spoke in a dejected tone.

Perhaps it was because of the sacrifice of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu that it felt a sense of shared sorrow, and it is no longer so afraid of Dugu Han!

"And there's also the Acacia Heart-Breaking Red!"

Dugu Han walked up to it and said, "It has not developed intelligence and is of no use to you. Give me the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red as payment. After I become a god, I can help you gain your freedom."

"over there!"

When the fragrant fairy heard that he wanted the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red, it stretched out its branches and pointed in a certain direction.

Dugu Han looked in the direction it pointed and saw a dark stone.

A delicate, pure white flower grows on the rock, its stamens tinged with a faint crimson, instantly evoking a sense of sadness in anyone who looks at it.

Its shape is somewhat like a peony, but it is not a peony. It has no fragrance and no other branches or leaves. There is only a lonely little flower growing stubbornly alone on the stone.

Neither the ice explosion from Dugu Hanxuan Ice Dragon Soar nor the splash from Blazing Yang Spring could cause it any damage.

Wu Ming, who had been waiting for Dugu Han to kiss her, suddenly heard his conversation with Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin and opened her eyes in annoyance.

"Hey, are you kidding me? I'm waiting for you to kiss me!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han shifted his gaze from the Acacia Heartbreak Red and placed it on Wu Ming: "Don't get me into trouble. If I kiss you, Le Xuan will definitely kill me."

"Le Xuan didn't say anything about Ning Tian's matter, so what are you afraid of?"

As Wu Ming spoke, she walked up to Dugu Han, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

Dugu Han felt the moist softness on his lips and immediately widened his eyes, staring blankly at Wu Ming's face pressed against his.

He never expected Wu Ming to be so bold.

But even more daringly, Wu Ming took the initiative to grab his hand and hug herself.

Why did they suddenly start hugging?

Are they mating?

"I don't know. I've never seen humans mating, so I don't know if it's true."

Fragrant and elegant herbs, including tulips, eight-petaled orchids, and many other celestial plants, all watched the kissing couple with curiosity.

This was the first time they had ever witnessed such an explosive scene.

As Wu Ming listened to the discussion about those magical herbs, she couldn't help but feel shy.

But she didn't let go of Dugu Han because of this; instead, she became even more proactive.

Dugu Han was handsome and exceptionally talented. Moreover, he gave her his 100,000-year-old soul bone without batting an eye, showing her unconditional kindness. She didn't want to miss out.

She only released Dugu Han when she was breathless from the kiss, and looked into his eyes, her cheeks flushed, and said, "I won't compete with Le Xuan. I'll be your concubine, and I can even give you Ruoruo as part of your dowry."

"Aren't you afraid Ruoruo will beat you to death for saying that?!"

Dugu Han smiled and stroked her hair.

"Anyway, Ruoruo envies Lexuan so much, isn't that perfect? ​​Besides, this way we can never be apart."

After Wu Ming finished speaking with a smile, she put her arm around his neck and said seriously, "I won't make things difficult for you. I'll talk to Le Xuan when we get back."

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's take care of business first."

Dugu Han smiled, then turned his gaze to the distant Acacia Heartbreak Red.
