Chapter 57 Nine-Headed Dragon-Snake Beast
Chapter 57 Nine-Headed Dragon-Snake Beast
However, as time went by, Dugu Yan, like a glutton, greedily absorbed massive amounts of soul energy. His cultivation level rose rapidly like a rocket, but his body was like a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of collapse.
His body, from every cell to every inch of skin, was covered in dense cracks, as if a fine porcelain piece was about to shatter. It could be said that when he absorbed these two immortal herbs, he was almost at the cost of overdrawing his own life force.
With just a glance from Wu Heyi, Ye Lingling understood and knew it was time to act. A beam of life energy as dazzling as stars, like a bolt of lightning, instantly enveloped Dugu Yan.
Those once teetering cells of life seemed to have received divine favor, regaining their vitality. They each performed their functions, and the cracks on her body gradually disappeared like melting snow.
He repaired her wounds with lightning speed, and seeing that her injuries were almost completely healed, Wu Heyi finally smiled with relief.
Next came the final step. Dugu Bo extended his hand, formed from soul power, and carefully lifted Dugu Yan, as if she were a rare treasure, before gently placing her into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
"thump!"
The crisp sound of Dugu Yan hitting the water, like heavenly music, rang in everyone's ears. Even though Dugu Yan had already fallen into the water, the two healers dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest. As long as their mental energy remained connected to Dugu Yan, the treatment would not stop.
After Dugu Yan fell into the pond, she did not feel the pain of her body being dissolved or frozen. Instead, she felt as if she were bathing in a spring breeze, enjoying a tingling and cool sensation.
She found herself cultivating in the water, where extreme cold met extreme heat, the two forces interacting in harmony, like yin and yang in balance. After consuming the miraculous Jade Linglong, her cultivation speed increased dramatically, like a whirlwind.
Just two hours later, Dugu Yan emerged from the center of the lake, her hair disheveled, like a lotus rising from the water.
For others, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well might be a dead end, and falling into the pool would mean certain death. However, Dugu Yan felt extremely comfortable at this moment.
Her already curvaceous figure became even more sculpted under the pool water, resembling a finely crafted work of art.
But perhaps because he had been soaking in the water for too long, Dugu Yan felt dizzy and lightheaded. At this moment, his soul power had reached level 30.
With just one more soul ring, Dugu Yan will become a Soul Master with no disguise.
Half an hour later, Dugu Yan had changed her clothes and led Ye Lingling into her old man's herb garden cave.
At this moment, the three grown men were fiercely fighting over the tea, which was Dugu Bo's century-old spiritual tea, a rare treasure.
If an elderly person drinks this century-old spiritual tea, it's like a withered tree coming back to life. With just one sip, the elderly person's fighting strength can briefly return to its peak.
Therefore, everyone was scrambling for it enthusiastically and having a great time.
However, the three soon noticed the two people who entered the cave. Dugu Yan's skin, which was originally as smooth as silk and delicate as a feather, had vanished like a crane in the wind.
Now, she possesses both fire and ice immunity, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, and at the same time, her cultivation level has soared to level 30 like a rocket.
However, the energy of the two immortal-grade herbs is like a surging torrent, far beyond simply raising one's level by four or five.
However, Dugu Yan's current physical condition is like being imprisoned in a cage, only able to withstand and unleash level 30 soul skills.
Once Dugu Yan's cultivation level improves, it will be like a dam bursting; her soul power will surge and increase dramatically without any deliberate cultivation.
Just then, Wu Heyi magically produced a book with a tattered cover, inside which was a small map.
Wu Heyi checked the directions of east, west, south, and north, and determined that the island he was looking for was in the northeast, just like finding a lighthouse in a vast sea.
His target was a sea beast, or more precisely, a marine spirit beast.
Although it occasionally ventures into the streets, it leaves behind a trail of peculiar toxicity wherever it goes, like a black venomous snake winding its way through the city streets.
On a small island very close to our mainland, there has always lived a special kind of soul beast called the "Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent Beast," which is as mysterious and powerful as a legendary divine beast.
This type of spirit beast undergoes a molting evolution every 20 years, and this happens to be its molting season.
This undoubtedly provided Wu Heyi with an opportunity. Most importantly, on the island where the nine-headed dragon and snake were located, there must be nine kinds of immortal herbs that represent nine different attributes.
These spiritual herbs are actually closely connected to the nine-headed dragon-serpent beast.
"As you all know, after being bitten by a venomous snake, there are usually herbs nearby that can help detoxify the snake!"
However, on that island where there was only one nine-headed dragon-snake beast, those nine immortal herbs were the antidote for that soul beast.
"What we need to do now is to take advantage of the fact that the soul beast is still in the weakened state of molting and kill it with lightning speed. Only in this way can Dugu Yan obtain its third soul ring."
At this moment, Ye Lingling suddenly spoke up.
"Why have I never heard of such a soul beast? Besides, doesn't such a soul beast have an opportunity to greatly increase its strength after each molt?"
"If we go there, wouldn't we be going to our deaths!"
Wu Heyi was already racking his brains about how to explain this soul beast to everyone. He was extremely grateful for Ye Lingling's question, which allowed him to naturally focus his thoughts on the soul beast.
"The Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent Beast is a soul beast with extremely powerful dragon bloodline; however, this soul beast has a very awkward flaw!"
"Although it is called the Dragon-Snake Beast, it is actually just a nine-headed dragon."
It is born with nine heads, and every 5 years or so of cultivation, it enters a molting period.
When it sheds its skin, it is at its weakest, losing less than one-tenth of its fighting power.
However, after he undergoes nine skin-shedding processes, his cultivation level will directly reach a terrifying level.
"At the same time, this soul beast has an extremely powerful characteristic, which is its nine heads, and the soul skills released by each head are all different in attributes!"
Moreover, all nine heads must be severed within an extremely short time; otherwise, if he rests for even a short while and his head is cut off, it will grow back, making him practically immortal!
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Such a soul beast was unheard of and unseen, but Wu Heyi's description sounded very plausible and didn't seem like a joke.
At this moment, Dugu Yan felt the medicinal power within her body. To be honest, she already felt very strong. However, the medicinal power contained fire poison and cold poison, reminding her that evolving her martial soul was the only way out.
