for Advance Chapter
"It's not over yet." Mo Bai plucked another petal. "Take another one to consolidate the effect."
Zhu Zhuqing took and consumed it. This time the sensation was even stronger—her body felt so light she might float away, and the touch at her fingertips was so sensitive she could distinguish the texture of every single fiber in a fabric. She could even feel the sensitivity of certain parts of her body increasing... those places that had been "tutored" by Mo Bai.
Her face flushed, and she looked away.
Mo Bai paid it no mind and walked toward Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan stood where she was, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes. Her poison dan had been reshaped and her soul rings modified, but facing Mo Bai, she still felt a bit... uneasy. After all, three days ago, they had performed that kind of "cultivation" in the spring.
"Your situation is unique," Mo Bai said. "The Jade Phosphor Serpent poison has just finished its transformation and needs to be stabilized. At the same time, your body has been eroded by toxins for years, damaging your foundation." He walked to a golden plant with leaves like dragon scales. "Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It solidifies the foundation, strengthens the source of the poison, and repairs internal injuries."
He plucked a golden melon the size of a fist and dug out a section of root the size of a finger joint.
"You take the melon to stabilize your poison dan. The root..." Mo Bai paused. "Give it to your grandfather."
Dugu Yan looked up sharply.
"Senior Dugu's poison injuries are deeper than yours, but he is a Titled Douluo with a robust foundation. The root of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is enough to help him stabilize the toxins and stop the backlash." Mo Bai handed her the root. "Find a time to give it to him."
Dugu Yan took the fruit and the root, her hands trembling. She looked at Mo Bai, her dark green eyes filled with complex emotions—gratitude, confusion, and a hint of an indescribable... dependence.
"Why..." she asked in a low voice, "Why help my grandfather?"
"Part of the transaction," Mo Bai said. "I used his precious land and cured his granddaughter. Helping him stabilize his injuries makes us even—no favors owed, no debts remaining."
He spoke nonchalantly, but Dugu Yan knew it wasn't that simple. The value of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was far beyond a few immortal herbs.
But she didn't ask further. She took a bite of the golden melon—the flesh was soft, with a faint sweetness and a hint of spiciness. After entering her stomach, it turned into a warm current surging through her limbs. Inside her dantian, the gold-purple poison dan rotated joyfully, the peach blossom patterns on its surface becoming clearer.
Her soul power also began to grow.
Rank 49, 50...
The outline of a fifth soul ring surfaced above her head—black. A ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Dugu Yan closed her eyes, feeling the birth of the new soul ring. Her soul skill: "Poison Dragon Strangulation," summoning the phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor for a wide-range slaughter, carrying intense poison and... lustful erosion.
She opened her eyes and looked at Mo Bai.
Mo Bai was also looking at her. His gaze was calm, but Dugu Yan felt that beneath that calm hid a desire to control everything.
"Alright." Mo Bai clapped his hands. "The distribution of immortal herbs is complete. Next is the critical phase of absorption."
He walked to the edge of the spring and pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "You need to enter the water to use the Yin and Yang energy to harmonize the medicinal properties. Meanwhile—" He turned to look at the three girls, "I will use my soul power to guide you, forming an energy cycle to maximize the absorption effect."
Xiao Wu was the first to jump up: "I'm going, I'm going!"
She took off her outer clothes, leaving only her close-fitting chemise and short pants, and splashed into the water—she had learned her lesson and chose a spot with a moderate temperature near the intersection of ice and fire. Her perky breasts bounced as she moved, fluffy rabbit ears twitching excitedly.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then also began to undress. Her movements were slow, her fingers trembling. After all, to be naked in front of two other people...
"Is Sister Zhuqing shy?" Xiao Wu giggled in the water.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip and quickened her movements. Soon, she was also naked, stepping carefully into the spring. The ice and fire energy stung her skin, but she adapted quickly. Her sleek athletic body with its noticeably larger and fuller breasts gleamed under the mist, long black tail swaying nervously behind her, cat ears flattened slightly.
Dugu Yan was the last. Her undressing was blunt, as if she had already thrown caution to the wind. But when her naked body was exposed to the air, she couldn't help but curl up slightly—the golden patterns on her arms, thighs, and chest were too conspicuous in the morning light. Her tall, curvaceous figure with full prominent breasts and long shapely legs was fully revealed, the golden snake-scale patterns glowing faintly across her pale, almost translucent skin.
"Sister Yan's tattoos are so pretty!" Xiao Wu said enviously.
Dugu Yan said nothing, silently entering the water and sitting opposite Zhu Zhuqing.
The three girls sat in the pool in a triangular formation. Xiao Wu on the left, Zhu Zhuqing on the right, and Dugu Yan in front. The water reached their chests, leaving only their shoulders and heads exposed. Their full breasts floated buoyantly on the surface, nipples hardened by the contrasting temperatures.
Mo Bai also entered the spring. He didn't take off his clothes, but they turned to ash the moment they touched the water. His lean body was exposed—the muscle lines were smooth, and the red-gold and silver-white patterns on his skin glowed faintly, like some mysterious totem.
He sat at the center of the three girls.
"Close your eyes and circulate your soul power," he said. "I will connect you."
The three girls obeyed and closed their eyes. Soon, they felt a gentle yet overbearing soul power surge from Mo Bai, splitting into three streams that connected to their respective dantians.
The sensation was strange.
It felt like three invisible threads binding them to Mo Bai and to each other.
"Now, absorb the medicinal power," Mo Bai's voice echoed in their minds simultaneously. "Follow my guidance and let the soul power circulate among the four of us."
The power of the Crystalline Blood Dragon Ginseng in Xiao Wu's body was the first to be triggered. Blood-colored energy surged toward Mo Bai through the soul power connection; after being transformed by his body, it became gentler and was then redistributed to Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan.
Zhu Zhuqing's body shuddered. After the blood-colored energy entered her, it merged with the power of the Moonshadow Flowing Light Grass she had just consumed—lightness combining with weight, speed coexisting with strength. Her soul power began to grow again, and a faint silver-red halo surfaced on her skin.
Next was Dugu Yan's Earth Dragon Golden Melon power. The golden energy carried the faint fishiness unique to toxins, surging toward Mo Bai. Instead of transforming it, Mo Bai guided it toward Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
The two girls groaned simultaneously.
The toxins entered their bodies, bringing stinging pain and numbness. But a second later, the powers of the Crystalline Blood Dragon Ginseng and Moonshadow Flowing Light Grass spontaneously surged toward those toxins, enveloping, decomposing, and absorbing them—the pain turned into a tingle, and the numbness turned into warmth.
"Do you feel it?" Mo Bai's voice rose again. "Your medicinal powers are complementing each other. Xiao Wu's vital energy is strengthening Zhuqing's physical toughness; Zhuqing's speed is boosting Xiao Wu's agility; Yan's toxins are stimulating your physical potential, and your soul power is helping Yan stabilize her poison dan."
They certainly felt it.
The soul power of the three girls surged, merged, and sublimated within the cycle formed by the four of them. With every cycle, they became a bit stronger; with every fusion, the connection between them deepened.
