Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 109 On the Importance of Blue Silver Emperor Breeding

"And I don't know what kind of soul beast to get. I should probably choose a soul beast with healing or life attributes."

Upon hearing this, although the effects of the Acacia Longevity Flower's soul skill were already within Ji Wuming's expectations, he still somewhat underestimated the flower's specific effects.

The Nine-Heart Begonia's skill is healing, specifically an area-of-effect heal. As its soul power level increases and more soul rings are added, its healing ability becomes stronger. The Acacia Longevity Flower, on the other hand, doubles the healing power of the Nine-Heart Begonia.

This is practically an enhanced version of a healer/support character.

Moreover, Ji Wuming firmly believed that the Love-Longevity Flower must have other effects. Perhaps when Ye Lingling reaches level 90, she will be able to revive the dead.

With this in mind, Ji Wuming once again took out a blue Silver Emperor plant with light gold veins from his treasure bag.

"This is just a slightly unique Blue Silver Grass. Why are you treating it like a treasure and putting it in the magic bag Grandpa gave you?"

Dugu Yan was very puzzled by this. Brother Ji regarded this blue silver grass with some golden patterns as a treasure.

At this moment, Ji Wuming stared in astonishment at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand.

"No way, when I put it in my magic bag before, it was just a four-leaf clover that was twice as tall as a regular blue silver grass. Now, not only have it grown four more leaves, but it has also grown to a meter tall and has even grown a few light golden lines."

Ji Wuming immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly checked the thirty or forty medicinal herbs stored in the Azure Treasure Bag.

"Fortunately, these herbs are in exactly the same condition as when they were picked, and they have not been damaged by the rapid growth of the Blue Silver Emperor."

His great anxiety finally subsided. Ji Wuming was also puzzled by the Blue Silver Emperor's excessively rapid growth.

Could it be that because it is surrounded by so many precious herbs, it is also absorbing some of the escaping aura of the immortal herbs, thus accelerating its growth?

"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, how old is this Blue Silver Grass?"

Ye Lingling called Ji Wuming's name twice before he snapped out of his daze and quickly replied.

"This is no ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but Blue Silver Emperor. Judging from its current length, it is less than 200 years old."

"Wu Ming, you're not going to let Lingling absorb this rubbish Blue Silver Emperor that's less than 200 years old, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming glared at Dugu Yan.

"You think I'm stupid for absorbing a hundred-year-old spirit ring as my fourth spirit ring?"

After calming himself down, Ji Wuming continued, "What I want to say is that this anomaly among Blue Silver Grass—the Blue Silver Emperor—is extremely suitable as Lingling's spirit ring, but not at this time."

If the Blue Silver Emperor is carefully nurtured in a precious land, it will become a ten-thousand-year-old plant soul beast in as little as three years. If it is supplemented with other precious herbs, the Blue Silver Emperor will grow into a 10-year-old soul beast, at which time…”

"You mean you're saying that if you place it in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to nurture it, it can become a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in just three years?"

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What kind of place is that?"

Ji Wuming looked at the puzzled Dugu Yan, then at the even more bewildered Ye Lingling beside her.

As for Ye Lingling, unaware of the difference between ice and fire, Dugu Yan would explain everything to her, he continued.

"Yes, whether it's plants or soul beasts, the cultivation speed inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is nothing short of miraculous. One day there is equivalent to ten days outside on Earth. If the plants inside wanted to cultivate for 10 years..."

At ten times the normal speed, it would take at least 30 years, but with the addition of other nourishing tonics, the speed to reach 10-year-old soul beasts would be even faster.

"My idea is to have Lingling absorb the 10-year-old Blue Silver Emperor when she absorbs her eighth or ninth soul ring. The healing amplification effect she will receive will be enormous. In addition, she will also obtain an invaluable 10-year-old soul bone."

The two women were stunned by Ji Wuming's idea, especially Dugu Yan. She never imagined that her grandfather's herb garden could have such a great use besides immortal herbs.

Cultivating a 10-year-old plant spirit beast? Is that even a possibility?

"But is Blue Silver Grass really suitable as Lingling's eighth or ninth spirit ring?"

Dugu Yan had never even heard of the Blue Silver Emperor, a spirit beast. Furthermore, the prevailing stereotype across the continent held that Blue Silver Grass was no different from ordinary weeds.

A Soul Master who awakens the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can be described as utterly useless.

Ji Wuming said with great interest, "Little sister, Lingling, you've already witnessed the power of Tang San's martial soul, haven't you? Tell me, how powerful is his Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"

"Amazing, incredibly amazing."

The two women said in unison that although they both found Tang San disgusting, it was undeniable that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul was very powerful, and his skills in using soul skills and his control over the situation were very precise.

Suddenly, Dugu Yan's mind raced, and she instantly thought of something.

"Could it be that Tang San's martial soul has the potential to become the Blue Silver Emperor?"

"Good, do you still think Blue Silver Grass is weak now?"

The two women shook their heads repeatedly. Ji Wuming continued, "Actually, most Blue Silver Grass is quite weak, but on this continent, every creature has its reason for existence."

Blue Silver Grass is found all over the continent, and its vitality is the most tenacious, especially this Blue Silver Emperor juvenile in my hand. It is not only powerful in attack, but also has the strongest vitality.

The very next second, Ye Lingling, who heard it very clearly, said...

"Brother Ji, suitable spirit beasts for my spirit rings are extremely rare on the continent, especially from the fourth spirit ring onwards. Spirit beasts with life or healing attributes are even more rare and hard to come by. Based on your understanding of Blue Silver Grass, can I choose Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts of suitable age for all my future spirit rings?"

"The Blue Silver Grass spirit beast is suitable for you. It's definitely not a problem for all your spirit rings to come from Blue Silver Grass. After all, no matter what spirit rings you add to your spirit, you will only have one healing spirit skill. But if you want to break through the limit of a spirit master, you will need to try more."

Ji Wuming was delighted by Ye Lingling's question. Was this woman actually quite thoughtful?

However, if all subsequent spirit rings come from spirit beasts of the same race, it's like a child who could have developed in many areas and explored in depth, but ultimately only has one narrow path left to follow.

Although there are very few soul beasts on the mainland suitable to become Ye Lingling, there are some, and Blue Silver Grass can only be considered as a last resort.

"Brother Ji, do you have any suggestions for my fourth spirit ring?"

Ye Lingling looked at Ji Wuming with great joy, after all, he had already planned to arrange a 10-year soul ring for her in advance.

At this moment, Ye Lingling was even more curious about what kind of fourth soul ring beast her Brother Ji would choose for her.
