A few days later, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 

Dugu Yan held the scroll of immortal herbs in her hand, carefully identifying each one. With astonishment, she exclaimed: 

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Water Immortal Jade Bone, Beautiful Silk Tulip, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Aromatic Tulip Immortal Herb, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower..." 

"Grandfather, Xiao Li, it turns out that many of the plants growing in our Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are immortal-grade herbs, incredibly rare and nearly impossible to find!" 

As she spoke, Dugu Yan suddenly shot a glare at Wang Li. With lingering fear, she blurted: 

"Back then, what Xiao Li ate might very well have been the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Delicate Infernal Apricot, which together can temper one's body to a golden physique. But if eaten separately, they're deadly—one is an intense ice poison, and the other is a fire poison that can kill someone!" 

Wang Li, knowing this all along, gave an awkward chuckle and replied: 

"There was no other choice at the time, but the result turned out well. My martial soul mutated again, evolving into the Blue Silver King. I even awakened a domain and successfully helped Grandfather suppress his poison." 

Dugu Yan snorted in response to his excuse, ignoring him. However, she made up her mind: she would never let Wang Li recklessly eat immortal herbs again. He could only eat herbs they were familiar with. Anything else? Who knows if it would kill him? 

At this moment, Dugu Bo crouched in front of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, scrutinizing it carefully. Finally, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed: 

"No wonder that damn Chrysanthemum Douluo suppresses me so much. His martial soul isn't an ordinary chrysanthemum—it's an immortal herb!" 

Only now did Dugu Bo fully realize why he had been oppressed so miserably all these years. 

A little while later, Dugu Yan spoke again: 

"Grandfather, I've found the big 'earth melon' that Xiao Li mentioned earlier. It's the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-attribute immortal herb that holds the power of the Earth Dragon. Its broad earth attribute can strengthen the body, but Grandfather, you're not a power-attack soul master who relies on physical strength. It doesn't seem to suit you very well." 

Hearing this, Wang Li shared his idea: 

"Previously, I used my Blue Silver Domain to sense a small flower over there that can amplify toxicity tenfold, even a hundredfold. If Grandfather first eats the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to enhance and modify his body, then consumes that flower to boost toxicity and increase strength, the plan should work." 

Dugu Yan searched for the flower Wang Li mentioned. When she found it, her eyes widened, and she shook her head repeatedly: 

"No way, absolutely not! This flower is called Snow Swan Kiss. It's an immortal herb, but also a poisonous one. Its property is to amplify toxins and pathogens tenfold or even a hundredfold until its medicinal power is fully exhausted. The stronger the inherent toxin or pathogen, the more terrifying its effect. With Grandfather's severe poison, it might be life-threatening." 

Their conversation didn't escape Dugu Bo's ears. The Earth Dragon Golden Melon and Snow Swan Kiss—one could enhance physical strength, and the other could amplify poison. He was tempted. After all, no soul master could resist the desire to grow stronger. 

However, Dugu Bo was also cautious and wouldn't gamble with his life so easily. Smiling, he said: 

"No need to argue. Right now, the most important thing isn't me, but Yan Yan. If you're ready, start absorbing the Yearning Heartbroken Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Xiao Li and I will protect you. Yan Yan, whether we can improve the deficiencies of our Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul depends on these two immortal treasures." 

Dugu Yan's expression grew firm. She carefully put away the herb scroll, took out the Yearning Heartbroken Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and solemnly declared: 

"I'm ready!" 

She then sat cross-legged, taking a deep look at Wang Li before starting the absorption process. 

First came the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Dugu Yan bit through its outer skin and sucked the blood-red liquid inside before consuming its body entirely. 

At this moment, Dugu Yan's skin turned blood-red, steam rose from her head, and sweat dripped from her face. It was clear how immensely nourishing the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was. 

Next was the Yearning Heartbroken Red. She cherished this flower, but she loved Wang Li even more. To stand by his side better, she didn't hesitate to consume the flower. 

She started by eating its stamen, then its petals, one by one. As the King of Flowers and an immortal treasure, the Yearning Heartbroken Red recognizes only one master in its lifetime. Even when consumed, it willingly released its medicinal power, protecting Dugu Yan's body from harm. 

After consuming both immortal herbs, Dugu Yan's body emitted a golden-red glow. The two herbs complemented each other, triggering a complete transformation. 

The medicinal energy spread throughout her limbs, bones, organs, meridians, and dantian, as well as her martial soul... 

Bit by bit, her body was tempered and refined! 

Meanwhile, outside... 

Dugu Bo and Wang Li remained silent, careful not to disturb Dugu Yan. Each found a spot to sit and waited for the final result. 

One hour passed, then two, then three... 

Finally, after twelve hours had passed! 

A green snake silhouette appeared above Dugu Yan's head. It was cold and eerie, devoid of any warmth or emotion. This was Dugu Yan's martial soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent. 

Soon, the snake's form began to change. The scales intertwined, becoming tighter and more transparent, resembling green crystal. Dragon-like horns grew from its head, forming a crown. The serpent's eyes became cold and regal, gazing down upon all life with indifference. 

It didn't grow dragon claws and was not in the form of a true dragon, but the aura, the presence it emanated, was undeniably that of a top-tier beast martial soul. 

Suddenly, the snake silhouette descended, merging back into Dugu Yan's body. She involuntarily completed the martial soul possession, retaining her human body and snake tail, but her skin now had crystal-like scales that appeared to be an armor. The diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead extended outward like dragon horns, resembling a crown. 

The yellow, yellow, purple, and purple soul rings appeared one after another, spinning rapidly in a smooth motion. 

This indicated her strength as a four-ring Soul King, but then, another soul ring emerged from her body. 

It started as white, then quickly turned yellow, before shifting to purple. As time passed, the purple deepened, and eventually, within the purple, a deep black hue appeared. 

Both Dugu Bo and Wang Li were stunned. Dugu Bo was sure that his granddaughter's martial soul had undergone a transformation, but the appearance of a soul ring was unexpected. 

This didn't make sense—before, Dugu Yan was only a level 41 Soul Master, far from being able to obtain a new soul ring. 

Wang Li furrowed his brow at times, then relaxed. 

The Yearning Heartbroken Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng—these two immortal herbs had been powerful enough to restore Xiao Wu to her human form after her sacrifice. 

Now, if they were only enhancing Dugu Yan's martial soul and raising her soul power by ten levels, it seemed a bit insufficient. But the addition of the most suitable soul ring made this transformation seem entirely reasonable.
