Chapter 199: Transplanting the Blue Silver Emperor, Everyone's Doubts
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both protected by the spirit power Dugu Bo released around them, shielding their bodies from the surrounding ice and fire auras.
Even so, after seeing the scenery before them with their own eyes, the two could not help marveling at how this place truly deserved to be called a paradise on earth.
Looking into the distance, a faint mist filled the valley.
Half of it was vermilion, while the other half was milky white.
Two completely different energies intertwined here, maintaining a strange yet delicate balance.
All kinds of plants grew throughout the valley.
The vast majority were rare medicinal herbs that could hardly be found in the outside world, and not a single one could be considered ordinary.
However, what truly made Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyelids twitch was Charizard.
The moment it arrived, Charizard acted as though it were completely familiar with the place.
With a single leap, it plunged directly into the Blazing Yang Spring and began soaking inside.
Splash!
Its enormous body crashed into the crimson spring water, sending waves splashing in every direction.
Wherever those droplets landed, scorching marks immediately appeared on the surrounding ground.
From that alone, the terrifying temperature of the spring water was obvious.
Yet Charizard behaved as though nothing was wrong.
It spread its wings lazily while soaking most of its body beneath the spring, the flame on its tail still burning quietly.
It even let out a low roar of obvious comfort.
Seeing this, even Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly.
The temperature of the Blazing Yang Spring was something that even he did not dare casually touch.
Yet this dragon beast was bathing in it as though it were ordinary warm water.
Lin Mo, however, had long since grown accustomed to such a sight.
Charizard's fire attribute had already reached the level of Ultimate Fire.
To the current Charizard, the temperature of the Blazing Yang Spring was practically no different from lukewarm water.
Lin Mo did not waste any time.
He slowly walked along the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, carefully examining every piece of suitable ground.
Unlike medicinal herbs such as the Blazing Apricot Tender Branch and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, whose attributes were clearly inclined toward extreme heat and cold, the Blue Silver Emperor was a purely neutral plant.
Therefore, the best place to plant it would naturally be near the boundary between the two sides of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the extreme ice and fire auras were at their most balanced.
Dugu Bo followed behind Lin Mo with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
They maintained a certain distance and remained silent so as not to disturb him.
The two girls' gazes also followed Lin Mo's movements, their hearts filled with curiosity.
Before long, Lin Mo found a suitable location and stopped.
He crouched down and pressed one hand against the soil.
Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the conditions for a moment.
Soon, Lin Mo opened his eyes again, satisfaction flashing within them.
This was the place.
With a thought, he took out a white flowerpot from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
Inside it, the juvenile Blue Silver Emperor gently swayed.
Lin Mo first dug a small hole in the soil.
Then he carefully removed the Blue Silver Emperor from the flowerpot together with the soil around its roots and transplanted it into the hole.
Throughout the entire process, his movements were extremely careful.
Only after everything was finished did Lin Mo withdraw his hands and carefully examine the newly transplanted Blue Silver Emperor.
Its leaves gently swayed.
A faint, joyful fluctuation emanated from it.
Judging from its reaction, it clearly liked the environment here.
Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling closer.
However, the moment Dugu Bo clearly saw the "extremely special plant" Lin Mo had mentioned earlier, he froze.
Whether judging by appearance or aura, this looked almost exactly like ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
The only obvious difference was the faint golden patterns running across its leaves.
But Blue Silver Grass?
What could possibly be special about that?
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had similar reactions.
Dugu Yan blinked and looked at Lin Mo in confusion.
"Lin Mo, the special plant you mentioned is... this Blue Silver Grass?"
Her confusion was obvious.
Ye Lingling remained silent, but the question in her eyes was exactly the same.
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and stood up.
"Yes, and no."
"This is indeed Blue Silver Grass, but it isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
He glanced at the plant beside him.
"Haven't you noticed? This is an extremely rare Blue Silver Grass that has already become a plant type Spirit Beast."
"Otherwise, why would I go through so much trouble to transplant it here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo looked greatly surprised.
"A Blue Silver Grass that became a plant type Spirit Beast?"
"Kid, are you sure you're not mistaken? Can something as low level as Blue Silver Grass really cultivate into a Spirit Beast?"
With Dugu Bo's many years of experience, he had encountered countless Spirit Beasts.
Yet he had never heard of Blue Silver Grass cultivating into a Spirit Beast.
Even among the numerous immortal grade medicinal herbs within his medicinal garden, he had never seen a single one truly become a plant type Spirit Beast.
Those immortal grade herbs were already treasures born from the essence of heaven and earth.
Even so, they merely possessed spirituality.
There was still an enormous distance between possessing spirituality and truly becoming a plant type Spirit Beast.
Compared with ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the difference between those immortal herbs was practically like heaven and earth.
Yet even they had not become Spirit Beasts.
How could Blue Silver Grass possibly accomplish it?
Lin Mo shook his head.
"Senior, the world is vast. All kinds of strange things can exist."
"Blue Silver Grass may normally be weak, but that doesn't necessarily mean there can't be exceptional individuals among them."
At that moment, Ye Lingling suddenly frowned slightly.
She had sensed something.
The aura coming from this Blue Silver Grass felt extremely familiar.
It seemed to share the same origin as the Right Leg Bone she had absorbed earlier.
The realization made her heart tremble.
An absurd possibility suddenly appeared in her mind.
Ye Lingling remained silent for a moment before looking at Lin Mo.
"A-Mo, could the Spirit Bone I absorbed earlier... have come from this Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast?"
The moment the question left her mouth, even Ye Lingling herself felt somewhat doubtful.
The Right Leg Bone she had absorbed was unquestionably a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone.
That could also be confirmed by the fact that it had granted her two Spirit Abilities.
Yet judging from the aura of this Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast before them, its current cultivation appeared to be less than a hundred years.
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone.
A Spirit Beast with less than a hundred years of cultivation.
How could the two possibly match?
However, to Ye Lingling's surprise, Lin Mo actually nodded.
"Sister Lingling's guess is very likely correct."
"The Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone and this Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast were both discovered by me inside the same cave."
"Furthermore, judging from the auras they emitted at the time, they clearly came from the same origin."
Ye Lingling froze.
The same origin?
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone and a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast with less than a hundred years of cultivation?
Everyone looked at Lin Mo with disbelief.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Mo continued explaining.
"As for why this Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast's cultivation is currently so weak..."
"My guess is that, for some reason, it already died once."
"The Spirit Bone it left behind is the clearest proof of that."
"However, perhaps because of some special ability or fortunate circumstance, it managed to survive and begin cultivating all over again."
"That's why its current cultivation appears so weak."
After hearing this, everyone fell into thought.
After considering it carefully, they reluctantly accepted Lin Mo's explanation.
Spirit Bones normally only appeared after a Spirit Beast died.
If this Blue Silver Grass had truly been an extraordinarily rare Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in its previous life, then naturally, the Spirit Bone it left behind would also possess Hundred Thousand Year quality.
Under such circumstances, if it possessed some unique ability or encountered a special opportunity that allowed it to survive even after producing a Spirit Bone and begin cultivating again...
Although such a situation would be incredibly rare, it was not necessarily impossible.
After all, the Spirit Master world had very little understanding of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts.
Once a Spirit Beast reached the Hundred Thousand Year level, exactly what kinds of special abilities it might possess was something almost no one could say for certain.
The same was true for the unique abilities possessed by different Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts.
