Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 56 Evolution

A moment later, Dugu Yan opened her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, "My soul power has increased by 3 levels all at once, and I can feel my martial soul evolving into the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon, and the power of my soul skills has also increased a lot."

Lin Yizhang wasn't surprised to hear that Dugu Yan's soul power had increased by 3 levels. Seeing Dugu Yan's incredulous expression, Lin Yizhang explained, "Yan Yan, you now truly understand the heaven-defying power of the immortal herb."

The increase in soul power by 3 levels is just a side effect. The medicinal power of the Dragon Blood Grass mainly affects your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, causing its bloodline to evolve towards the dragon bloodline.

Now that you've consumed Dragon Blood Grass for the first time, your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has evolved into a Flood Dragon Martial Soul. Perhaps you only need to consume one more Dragon Blood Grass to fully evolve your Martial Soul into a true Dragon Martial Soul.

Dugu Yan said, "I've never heard of such a rare thing as an immortal herb before. Moreover, consuming an immortal herb can evolve one's martial soul. If one is lucky, wouldn't it be easy to cultivate to the title of Title Douluo by eating just a few immortal herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo flicked Dugu Yan on the forehead, speechless, and said, "Do you think this immortal herb is like cabbage, something you can just eat whenever you want?"

Lin Yizhang said, "The growth conditions of this immortal herb are harsh, and the growth cycle is extremely long. Under normal circumstances, it takes thousands of years for an immortal herb to fully mature."

Moreover, such precious items are definitely guarded by extremely powerful spirit beasts. Ordinary people, even if they know where the immortal herbs are, cannot pick them, let alone eat them.

It is only because of the special environment of Grandpa's medicinal herb that so many mature medicinal herbs can grow.

Besides, the medicinal effects of the herb are potent; do you really think you can eat too much of it?

"Huh? Didn't I eat a Dragon Blood Grass too? You just said I could eat a second one, what's going on?" Dugu Yan blinked her beautiful big eyes and said.

Lin Yizhang said, "You're eating the same kind of medicinal herbs, so eating more won't cause any adverse effects. However, the effect might not be as noticeable the first time you take it. This is a drawback that all potent herbs have."

This is actually why the body develops drug resistance. The concept of drug resistance doesn't exist in the Douluo Continent, so Lin Yizhang didn't continue explaining.

Whether a herb is harmful or beneficial to the body, once it has had an effect on the human body, it will develop resistance. After a certain amount of medication has been taken, it will no longer have the desired effect on the body.

However, the deeper reason for the development of drug resistance is the function of memory cells in the body, which takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, as long as Dugu Yan continues to take the second Dragon Blood Grass in the near future, it will be fine.

Even if taking Dragon Blood Grass again doesn't work, it's not a big deal; it would just be a waste of one Dragon Blood Grass. Dugu Yan can continue to evolve her martial soul by absorbing the soul rings of dragon-type soul beasts. When she adds her ninth soul ring, she will most likely be able to evolve her current Azure Flood Dragon martial soul into a dragon-type martial soul.

"Yanyan, for the next three days you just need to focus your energy on cultivation. After three days, absorb another Dragon Blood Grass," Lin Yizhang instructed.

The reason Lin Yizhang didn't let Dugu Yan absorb the two Dragon Blood Grasses all at once was because the medicinal power of the two immortal herbs was too great, and it might be dangerous to absorb them.

Dugu Yan nodded upon hearing this.

Dugu Bo said, "Yanyan, you've spent most of the day absorbing the immortal herbs, and now it's getting dark. Let's go have dinner now."

It was getting late, and Lin Yizhang decided to sleep here for the night and deliver the immortal herb to Lingling tomorrow. The thought of doing something naughty with Dugu Yan, who had become even more voluptuous and alluring after absorbing the herb, filled Lin Yizhang with excitement; he couldn't wait to go to sleep…

After dinner and washing up, Lin Yizhang and Dugu Yan went into their private room.

After entering the room, the two of them...

The next day, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Lin Yizhang. He slowly woke up, opened his eyes, saw Dugu Yan in his arms, and smiled slightly.

Last night was truly wonderful, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until the sun was high in the sky to get up this morning. You see, Lin Yizhang's biological clock wakes him up precisely at dawn, unless he's too tired to get up that early…

Lin Yizhang got up quietly, covered the still-sleeping Dugu Yan with a blanket, and then left the room.

After bidding farewell to Dugu Bo, Lin Yizhang soon arrived at the residence of the Nine Heart Begonia family.

When Lin Yizhang took out the three immortal herbs—the Immortal Begonia, the Green Rock Fruit, and the Star Spirit Flower—Ye Lingling and Ye Xin's eyes widened in surprise. They stood up from their chairs in astonishment and exclaimed in unison, "Three immortal herbs!" Clearly, the two of them recognized these three immortal herbs.

As the current patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia family, Ye Xin had naturally read the family's treasured books on medicinal herbs, so it was not surprising that she knew about immortal herbs.

As for Ye Lingling, she hadn't spent much time reading books on herbs before, but when Lin Yizhang was reading these books at her house, she had read quite a few along with him, so she recognized these three immortal herbs.

Sitting on a chair to the side, Zhong Yun was completely bewildered to see his usually gentle wife, who rarely showed her emotions, and his usually quiet and composed daughter, both looking surprised when Lin Yizhang took out the three herbs.

He looked at Ye Xin and asked, "What is this 'immortal herb'? Is it something to make such a fuss about?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xin glared at Zhong Yun in annoyance, then said, "You ignorant fool, these immortal herbs are even more precious than soul rings and soul bones. Soul rings and soul bones can be bought, but I've only ever seen immortal herbs in ancient books. Tell me, how could I not be excited to suddenly see three legendary immortal herbs in front of me?"

After Ye Xin carefully explained the immortal herbs to Zhong Yun, she came to her senses and looked at Lin Yizhang, asking curiously, "Yizhang, how did you obtain these three immortal herbs?"

Lin Yizhang said, "This was given to me by Senior Dugu Bo."

Ye Xin nodded and said, "As expected of a top expert on the continent, you can even give so many precious items like immortal herbs to me."

Lin Yizhang said, "Senior Dugu has indeed been very kind to me. I plan to give you these three immortal herbs. This Immortal Spirit Begonia is something I carefully prepared for Lingling. It is very suitable for Lingling, and perhaps it can dispel the nightmare of your Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul inheritance. This Star Spirit Flower is also very suitable for you, Aunt, and the Green Rock Fruit is suitable for Uncle."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xin said, "Good child, you and Lingling should keep these three immortal herbs for yourselves. Your uncle and I don't need them. You are still young, and taking them will give you a better chance of breaking through to the Title Douluo level in the future."

Ye Lingling also said, "Yizhang, I can't accept something so precious. You should keep it for yourself and Yanyan."

Lin Yizhang took out another immortal herb from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch, which was none other than the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water. He then said, "The immortal herb I intend to consume is this Dew of Longing for Autumn Water. Senior Dugu and Yan Yan have also consumed suitable immortal herbs. As you all know, immortal herbs cannot be consumed in excess, so please accept these three immortal herbs."

After Lin Yizhang finished speaking, he didn't give them a chance to refuse again. He handed the three immortal herbs to the three of them and said, "Let's find a quiet place to absorb the immortal herbs together now."

Under Lin Yizhang's forceful insistence, Ye Xin and the others had no choice but to accept the immortal herb.

After instructing the servants not to come in and disturb them, Ye Xin led everyone into a quiet and spacious secret room to absorb the immortal herbs.
