Chapter 6 Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid and Silky Tulip
"That's very likely the case!"
Dugu Bo stroked his small tuft of beard, lost in thought.
He didn't think too much about it. Since he accepted that his grandson had been reborn, everything else was normal. If something as unbelievable as rebirth had happened, then having an extra strange martial soul seemed quite normal.
"Lin'er, what is the purpose of your martial soul?"
"I'm not quite sure yet."
Before reincarnation.
Dugu Lin is a painting enthusiast, and also obsessed with dazzling martial souls and spirit skills.
So he commissioned a blank sketchbook with various martial soul patterns on the cover and the words "Martial Soul Pictorial" written on it, wanting to personally draw the martial souls he liked.
Then one day, because he had been drawing late the night before, he fell asleep at his desk at work the next day. When he woke up again, he had been reborn into the Douluo Continent.
After awakening his martial soul.
The paper 'Martial Soul Pictorial' that brought him here has transformed into a metal picture book made of bronze, which is ancient and heavy.
On the cover of the album, the various martial soul patterns that were originally printed have been replaced with engraved patterns. In addition, the words "Martial Soul Pictorial" are still written on the cover, but they have also been engraved.
Open the cover of the second martial soul, the 'Martial Soul Pictorial'.
What comes into view is a smooth page cast in bronze, 2.5 millimeters thick, with no information on it.
Turn to the first page of the bronze book, the second page is the same, and then the third page, which is also a bronze book with a thickness of 2.5 mm.
The picture book only has three pages!
Dugu Lin had no choice but to connect the fact that he only had three pages with his low innate talent.
Of course, innate talent doesn't matter, because you can eat any Immortal Herbs from the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes!
Any congenital deficiency can be made up for!
In the Douluo Continent, a fantasy world, cultivation resources are not needed. Just a single Immortal Herb is enough for a reincarnated person to make something of themselves!
Especially since he reincarnated into the body of Dugu Bo's grandson, it was an absolutely perfect start!
One of the protectors of the Way is Dugu Bo.
Cultivation resources include: the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes!
He possesses two innate martial souls: the mysterious Martial Soul Pictorial and the detached martial soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Dugu Lin was full of confidence in the future, and had even planned his future last night, such as: aspiring to become a god!
He just awakened his past life wisdom yesterday!
The seeds of becoming a god and achieving immortality have already taken deep root in his heart!
And also: punch the little bastards and kick the Asura God!
Even before he reincarnated, Dugu Lin was already very unhappy with the protagonist group. They were a bunch of hypocrites and hooligans. Now that he had the chance, he had to kill them.
And we can't let these people die too easily.
As for the specific usage and function of the second martial soul, 'Martial Soul Pictorial', Dugu Lin had some guesses.
First!
This is the Douluo Continent, so we must respect local customs!
Dugu Lin speculated that the second spirit is probably closely related to the spirit rings acquired! It's very likely that whatever spirit beast spirit ring you acquire, that spirit beast image will appear in the picture book!
Secondly!
Since the Second Martial Soul is a picture book, it must be possible to draw on it manually, right?
Since the growth of the second martial soul can be artificially intervened, there is no upper limit to the growth of the second martial soul!
Of course, all of this can only be tested after the second spirit absorbs the first spirit ring!
...
Dugu Bo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we don't know its specific use! We'll find out in time. Lin'er, Yan'er, let's go to the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes in the herb garden first!"
More than an hour later.
Dugu Bo led Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan to the medicine garden. The entire Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes was very large, an irregular circular valley with a diameter of over 1.5 kilometers, while the diameter of the central Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes pool was less than 100 meters.
Dugu Lin gazed towards the pool; the aura there was too terrifying for either him or Dugu Yan to bear, and they dared not approach it.
"Grandpa, are the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom the ones closest to the pool over there?"
"I think so."
Dugu Bo wasn't sure either, because he had only heard the names of these two Immortal Herbs from Dugu Lin.
Dugu Lin's eyes burned with excitement as he said, "Grandpa, I'm too weak right now to consume these two Immortal Herbs. Let me grow stronger first! I'll eat them when I'm stronger! By the way, you can't consume these two Immortal Herbs either, because they will destroy all your poison skills!"
"Yes, Grandpa understands. Lin'er, which Immortal Herb do you think can help your martial soul evolve and increase your innate soul power right now?"
As early as last night, Dugu Lin had already decided which Immortal Herb he should eat.
Eight-petaled fairy orchid and Beautiful Silk Tulip!
In the future, Oscar and Ning Rongrong will consume these two magical herbs respectively.
The Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid has a mild medicinal property and can strengthen the body's foundation. After Oscar takes it, it can make up for the fact that he is a food-type Soul Master and his cultivation is slow. The Beautiful Silk Tulip can evolve Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so it can certainly evolve his two martial souls in the same way!
The Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid is the most suitable for making up for insufficient innate soul power! Then the Beautiful Silk Tulip can be used to evolve the martial soul 'Martial Soul Pictorial'!
Perfect!
Dugu Lin wanted his martial soul to evolve so that his cultivation speed could be even faster.
He doesn't aspire to become a god by age 25; he only wishes to become a god before Tang San.
For an ordinary person to become a Title Douluo or even a god by the age of 25 is simply impossible, unless a god grants them a cheat code. Tang San's ability to become a Title Douluo at 25 and then break through to level 100 and become a god within the same year—wasn't that because the Sea God gave him a cheat code?
Dugu Lin was five years older than Tang San, so Dugu Lin set his goal as to become a god before the age of 30.
As for the original story that a person cannot eat two Immortal Herbs, Dugu Lin only believed half of it.
If a Soul Master truly cannot consume two Immortal Herbs, then in the original work, the two medicinal effects of the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom formed a balance of mutual generation and restraint within Tang San's body, which can be explained by the mutual generation of Yin and Yang.
Therefore, the medicinal effects of the third Immortal Herb, the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, will inevitably disrupt this balance!
Therefore, although the effects of the drugs may be incompatible, it is certainly not as exaggerated as imagined.
Dugu Lin planned to first consume an Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, and then, after fully refining its medicinal effects and obtaining his first Soul Ring, he would allow himself some time to settle down before consuming the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom. This would allow him to refine the remaining medicinal effects of the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid to the greatest extent possible while simultaneously building his Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body.
Finally, he ate the Beautiful Silk Tulip to evolve his martial soul: Martial Soul Pictorial.
In addition, Dugu Lin also planned to consume the fifth Immortal Herb.
For the fifth plant, Dugu Lin planned to wait a few years until his soul power reached level 40 before using the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" to enhance his spiritual power, so that he could withstand the mental impact of the remnant soul of the soul beast when obtaining the ten-thousand-year soul ring in the fourth stage.
