Looking at the massive sweet potato in front of him and then glancing at the normal-sized bamboo shoot in Wang Li's arms, Dugu Bo hesitated and asked: 

"So, how exactly do you eat this sweet potato? Do I just bite into it raw? How long would that even take?" 

Dugu Yan, observing the celestial herb scroll, explained: 

"Grandfather, it should be eaten directly. According to the scroll, celestial herbs are essentially pure energy condensed to the extreme. Once consumed, they revert to energy, so no matter how large they are, you can finish them." 

Hearing her explanation, Dugu Bo wiped the surface of the Earth/Land Dragon Golden Melon with his sleeve and took a direct bite. 

Surprisingly, the Earth/Land Dragon Golden Melon wasn't difficult to eat. With each bite, it delivered a crisp and sweet sensation. It dissolved into sweet nectar in his mouth without requiring much chewing. 

Dugu Bo felt invigorated and began eating faster, bite after bite. If celestial herbs were condensed energy, then the immense size of this sweet potato must mean it contained an extraordinary amount of energy. 

As for Wang Li, he wasn't as concerned. Sitting on the ground, he peeled the bamboo shoots to reveal the tender flesh inside and started eating. Although the Black Jade Divine Bamboo was incredibly tough, its shoots were not nearly as sturdy. 

In no time, Wang Li finished all four bamboo shoots of varying sizes. As the medicinal energy began to disperse, it filled even his meridians to capacity. 

Standing up immediately, Wang Li turned to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, saying, 

"Grandfather, Sister Yan, I'll head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb the medicinal energy. The ice and fire energies inside will help me refine it." 

Dugu Bo, still less than halfway through his melon, could only wave his hand in acknowledgment. 

Dugu Yan, aware that Wang Li had already consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot and could freely absorb the energies of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, spoke calmly: 

"We'll wait for you outside." 

Wang Li nodded, leapt into the air, and with a splash, dove into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. To him, the extreme heat and cold within felt merely warm and cool. 

He began cultivating immediately, circulating his technique to absorb the energy within his body fully. 

The energy of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo was unlike that of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass or the Infernal Delicate Apricot, which focused on tempering the body. As he gradually absorbed this energy, it split into two parts: one portion fused into his martial spirit, while the other transformed into his soul power. 

Moreover, his body was once again enveloped in a cocoon of light. After absorbing sufficient life essence, Wang Li's martial spirit underwent yet another evolution. 

This time, the cocoon radiated a deep, ink-like color—not dark or malevolent, but brimming with vitality. 

The process went smoothly, and after seven to eight hours, the cocoon shattered into streams of energy that flowed back into Wang Li's body. 

When Wang Li awoke, there were no apparent physical changes, but his martial spirit and soul power had undergone a significant transformation. 

Curious, Wang Li opened his status panel: 

*[Host: Wang Li]* 

*[Martial Spirit: Blue Silver King Lv6 (Evolving)]* 

*[Soul Power: Level 47 (54%)+]* 

*[Trait: Vitality Lv6 (The Blue Silver Grass, scattered across every corner of the continent, is weak yet possesses remarkable vitality. Injuries recover slowly over time.)]* 

*[Passive: Resilience Lv6 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. After recovering from any abnormal state, the body becomes more robust.)]* 

*[Domain: Blue Silver Domain Lv1 (The exclusive domain of the Blue Silver Emperor, essential for the Blue Silver King's evolution into the Blue Silver Emperor.)]* 

*[Soul Rings: First Ring (Equipped), Second Ring (Equipped), Third Ring (Equipped), Fourth Ring (Equipped)]* 

*[Soul Bones: None]* 

*[Combat Experience: 365,790]* 

As expected, after absorbing the medicinal energy of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, Wang Li's martial spirit evolved once more. His Blue Silver King martial spirit had now reached Level 6. 

Unable to contain his excitement, he eagerly opened the "Evolving" panel to see what new changes awaited: 

*[Lv6 -> Lv7 Life Essence (64/320)]* 

*[Sovereign Essence, also known as Blue Silver Affinity (0.07%)]* 

The life essence required for the next evolution had doubled again, as Wang Li anticipated. However, the appearance of Sovereign Essence, or Blue Silver Affinity, was something he hadn't expected. 

Sovereign Essence—Blue Silver Affinity. 

Wang Li furrowed his brow, then seemed to have a sudden realization: 

"To advance from Level 6 to Level 7, the addition of the Sovereign Essence is required. It seems that at Level 7, the Blue Silver Grass will no longer be just the Blue Silver King—it will truly become the Blue Silver Emperor." 

"The Blue Silver King represents the pinnacle of the Blue Silver Grass. To go further, this Sovereign Essence is necessary. Since it is also called Blue Silver Affinity, does that mean it's directly tied to all Blue Silver Grass?" 

"So, in the past, when I bestowed life energy upon the Blue Silver Grass in my Blue Silver Domain, they bowed and submitted to me. Among the energy they contributed, there must have been Sovereign Essence." 

At last, Wang Li glimpsed the truth. Now that everything made sense, he felt an overwhelming sense of clarity: 

"In other words, as long as I can continue gathering more Blue Silver Grass and gaining their submission, I'll receive feedback in the form of soul power, spiritual power, life essence, and Sovereign Essence. Through this process, I'll truly evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor." 

Feeling pleased with his realization, Wang Li finally turned his attention to other gains: 

"My soul power has now reached Level 47. Before absorbing the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, I cultivated for three months and managed to reach Level 43 on my own. So, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo helped me increase my soul power by four levels." 

"That's pretty decent, considering I'm a Soul Elder now. But Sister Yan is already a Level 53 Soul King. Should I focus on quickly raising my soul power too?" 

"Once Grandfather finishes eating the Earth/Land Dragon Golden Melon, his strength will improve as well. He should be able to protect us. Sister Yan is a 19-year-old Soul King, and I'm a 12-year-old Soul King… that does seem a bit absurd!" 

"Whatever. The concealment effects of my Blue Silver Domain are becoming more and more refined. If I'm going to enjoy this power boost, I might as well go all the way and raise my soul power to Level 50 first!" 

With that thought, Wang Li made up his mind and began operating the panel, using experience points to enhance his soul power. 

The results were immediate. Wang Li entered a state of passive cultivation, and under the influence of his experience points, the soul power within his body started circulating according to a specific trajectory. 

The circulation speed wasn't just fast—it was ridiculously fast. Under normal circumstances, cultivating soul power would drain his physical and mental energy. But with the push from experience points, his soul power surged as though a floodgate had been opened, skyrocketing in strength. 

After discussing Wang Li, let's turn to Dugu Bo. 

Having finished eating the Earth/Land Dragon Golden Melon, he also entered a cultivation state, his entire body enveloped in a layer of earthy-yellow light. 

Thick, earth-elemental energy coursed through his body, expanding his meridians, strengthening his physique, enhancing his martial spirit, and amplifying his soul power... 

As a celestial herb, its effects were undeniably remarkable! 

*123, Grass, 456, King, 789, Emperor* 

A Level 7 Blue Silver Grass is a Blue Silver Emperor. A Level 9 Blue Silver Grass is one that approaches godhood. Even Ah Yin likely never reached this realm; she sacrificed herself before reaching her peak.
