In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 141 A wave of wealth, a wave of wealth

Setting aside Elder Yi's somewhat distant conjectures and the necromancy spells that were temporarily useless, Wang Zhao focused on digesting the permanent mental enhancement brought about by the Dew of Longing. He opened his eyes again after about an incense stick's time.

Swish!

A flash of white light appeared, shooting out from Wang Zhao's eyes with a power as if a stone were shattering the heavens.

He casually glanced at a mountain wall, his gaze instantly penetrating it to see the crisscrossing cracks inside, and even more detailed features.

"Is this... X-ray vision?"

Wang Zhao couldn't help but open her mouth, never expecting that she would realize the dream of countless men in her previous life.

In response, he stated...

I've been waiting with bated breath for so long!

He now unilaterally declares that the "Heartbreak Red" is utter garbage, while the "Longing for Autumn Dew" is the supreme, divine product!

Judging from this, the Tang Buddha in the original work, who was said to be "pure and immaculate," was quite something. Wang Zhaocai was already like this after only taking the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," while Tang Buddha still had several years of cultivation in the Purple Extreme Demon Eye.

Tsk~

Then, Wang Zhao looked around at other places, and then looked back at himself.

Through the clothing, I could see... cough, what I finally saw was a slightly transparent body with various colored lights flashing within it, such as the white light on the feet and the red light under the crotch.

What do these dots of light mean?

Wang Zhao's mind stirred slightly, and after some deliberation, he quickly understood.

These seem to symbolize weaknesses, strengths, fatal flaws, and sensitive points...

That's interesting.

He didn't immediately associate it with "battle" or even a serious battle. Instead, as if he had thought of something, a knowing smile involuntarily crept onto his lips before he quickly composed himself into a serious expression.

As for whether his thoughts are proper or not, that's not something outsiders can know.

However, in any case, the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" herb brought him a significant boost to his mental strength, completely eliminating a major weakness. In addition, it also brought him a powerful clairvoyant ability that was undoubtedly very practical.

Wang Zhao: Wuhu Takeoff!

Wang Zhao benefited, and so did Jin Lin; for Jin Lin, it also improved itself.

Jinlin: Wuhu ~ Take off ~

(σ′▽‵)′▽‵)σ

Afterwards, Wang Zhao adjusted to his body, which had been transformed by three immortal herbs, and calmed his mind before taking the semi-finished artificial inner core out of his storage ring again.

This place is full of rare and exotic herbs, and even some divine ones. Wang Zhao is confident that even if he has to use all these rare and precious medicines, he can still create a finished artificial inner core.

Of course, this is just talk; he does have real skills and wouldn't waste such a strategic resource.

After searching, Wang Zhao quickly found many herbs with suitable medicinal properties, but many of them inevitably had overlapping functions. More importantly, he thought of his goal for his fifth soul ring, which required a unique and crucial auxiliary material.

However, since it was the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Wang Zhao finally found a suitable herb after his relentless search—the Thunderclap Grass.

Then, as he carefully dug the Thundergrass out of the soil, he suddenly noticed a flash of lightning beneath it.

So Wang Zhao couldn't resist digging into the soil out of curiosity, and found a seed with a strange shape, neither too big nor too small, covered with purple veins.

"This is actually... the seed of the Thunderous Hell Vine?!"

Wang Zhao, who had searched through ancient books many times in search of his fifth spirit ring, quickly recognized it and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Heaven is on my side! Now, my path to obtaining my fifth spirit ring is complete in one step."

Without hesitation, he calmly adjusted his breathing for a while before heading towards the furnace with the herbs and the half-finished elixir in his hand...

Time flew by and it was noon.

Because of the unique environment of Sunset Forest, and the fact that this area is surrounded by a poison array set up by Dugu Bo, Wang Zhao could not clearly perceive the changes in the weather.

The alchemy furnace was opened, and a pill bead quickly flew out under the guidance of soul power. Wang Zhao examined it for a while and saw that the pill bead was faintly flashing with purple light, which was captivating. He quickly put it away and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"I imagine Lao Yue and Lao Yang will be incredibly excited when they see the artificial inner core take shape."

"Plus the things we've already prepared for them, it might drive them crazy."

Then, Wang Zhao quickly stood up and dug up three more immortal herbs.

One is a pure white, jade-like spiritual herb called the Primordial Immortal Herb, a treasure that can directly enhance a Soul Master's Soul Power. In the original story and later generations, it can also assist Soul Masters in compressing Soul Power and condensing Soul Cores.

One is a very beautiful spiritual plant with branches that are a rare black color among plants. At the top grows a golden fruit the size of a palm. This golden fruit is as bright as a huge pearl, but if you look closely, you will find that the gold is actually made up of thousands of golden light spots. It is very peculiar and is called the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. Its effects in later generations are also related to the soul core.

The last one is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It is said to have the ability to turn the earth upside down. It is of the earth element. Fusing with it will enhance the fusion user's control over the earth's energy.

Among them, the Primordial Immortal Herb and the Star Luo Spirit Pearl were what Wang Zhao planned to give to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo. After all, he wanted to help the martial souls of this grandfather and grandson truly transform into the unprecedented Azure Scale Golden Dragon, which required a medicinal guide of the Immortal Herb level. The unique poison pill method that the Dugu family gradually condensed with the improvement of their cultivation was similar to the soul core of later generations. The former was suitable for laying the foundation for the young girl Dugu Yan, while the latter was suitable for an old powerhouse like Dugu Bo, who had already made little progress, to repair his foundation and have the possibility of further advancement.

Furthermore, both of these medicines are relatively neutral in nature and will not conflict with Wang Zhao's process of promoting the mutation of the Dugu family's martial soul.

As for whether they will feel reluctant to part with it, or feel that they have suffered a loss or even wasted their money?

Wang Zhao stated that, firstly, he is not a capitalist; secondly, even from a purely profit-driven perspective, investing in the Dugu family would definitely not be a loss; and thirdly, and most importantly, he is neither "pure and innocent" nor "selfless."

...A warning: This is a path to certain death!

Finally, there's the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Wang Zhao intends to use it to obtain his sixth spirit ring, or rather, an artificial inner core capable of condensing a sixth spirit ring, but that's not urgent.

After carefully preparing the three portions of celestial ingredients, Wang Zhao was about to refine some initial detoxification and transformation pills for Grandpa Dugu and his grandson when he suddenly remembered something and came to a small area near the deep red spring that emitted a strange and soft light.

He hadn't been in a hurry to explore before, but now he had time to take a look. Two platinum dragon claws suddenly appeared out of thin air beneath him, and then...

Digging in the soil.

Golden Scale:o(╥﹏╥)o
