Dugu Bo looked at the enormous Earth Dragon Golden Gourd in front of him, then at the normal-sized bamboo shoots in Wang Li's arms, and hesitated, "So, how do I eat this gourd? Do I just bite into it raw? How long will that take?"
Dugu Yan looked at the immortal herb scroll and said, "Grandpa, you should eat it directly. The immortal herb scroll says that Immortal Herbs are more like energy condensed to the extreme. Once eaten, they will revert into energy, so no matter how big they are, they can be consumed."
Hearing Dugu Yan's explanation, Dugu Bo wiped the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd with his sleeve and then began to bite into it.
Unexpectedly, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was not difficult to eat. With one bite, it had a crisp, sweet taste and would turn into sweet, refreshing liquid without much chewing.
Dugu Bo was greatly invigorated and immediately sped up, biting into the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd mouthful by mouthful. If Immortal Herbs were all condensed energy, then such a large gourd must contain a significant amount of energy.
As for Wang Li, he had no such concerns. He sat on the ground, peeled back the bamboo skin to reveal the shoot, and bit into it. The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo was incredibly tough, but its shoots were not.
Before long, Wang Li had eaten all four bamboo shoots, big and small. As the medicinal power gradually spread, even his meridians were filled with energy.
Wang Li instantly stood up and said to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, "Grandpa, Yan Yan Jie, I'm going into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb the medicinal power. The ice and fire energy inside will help me absorb it."
Dugu Bo hadn't even eaten half of his gourd, so he could only wave his hand to acknowledge it.
Dugu Yan now knew that Wang Li, having consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the lie huo xing jiao su, could freely absorb the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for cultivation. She wasn't worried at all and said gently, "We'll wait for you outside."
Wang Li then nodded, leaped up, and with a splash, jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The extreme heat and extreme cold energies inside were merely warm and cool to him.
Wang Li then began his formal cultivation, circulating his cultivation technique and fully absorbing the energy within his body.
The energy from this Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, unlike the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the lie huo xing jiao su, did not focus on body tempering. As this energy was gradually absorbed,
It began to divide into two parts: one part merged into his Spirit, and the other part transformed into his spirit power.
Not only that, his body was once again enveloped by a light cocoon. Having absorbed enough life essence, Wang Li's Spirit evolved once more.
This time, the light cocoon was tinged with a deep, inky color, not dark or evil, but full of vibrant life.
The entire process was uneventful. Approximately seven or eight hours later, the light cocoon shattered, turning into airflow that returned to Wang Li's body.
Wang Li also woke up shortly after. His physical body showed no obvious improvement, but both his Spirit and spirit power had significantly increased.
Wang Li curiously opened his panel:
Host: Wang Li
Spirit: Blue Silver King Lv6 (Evolving)
spirit power: Level 47 (54%) +
Trait: Vitality Lv6 (Blue Silver Grass, found in every corner of the continent, though incredibly weak, possesses strong vitality. Injuries can slowly recover.)
Passive: Resilience Lv6 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Facing any abnormal status, as long as direct death is avoided, physical constitution will become stronger after recovery.)
Domain: Blue Silver Domain Lv1 (The Blue Silver Emperor's exclusive Domain, a necessary Domain for the Blue Silver King to become the Blue Silver Emperor.)
spirit ring: First spirit ring (Equipped) Second spirit ring (Equipped) Third spirit ring (Equipped) Fourth spirit ring (Equipped)
Spirit Bone: None
Combat Experience: 365790
As expected, Wang Li, after absorbing the medicinal power of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, had his Spirit evolve once again. Now his Blue Silver King Spirit had reached Level 6.
He then eagerly opened the "Evolving" panel, very curious to know what new changes there were:
Lv6 —> Lv7 Life Essence (64 / 320) Emperor's Essence, also known as Blue Silver Affinity (0.07%)
The life essence required for the next evolution had doubled again, which was within Wang Li's expectations, but the addition of Emperor's Essence was something Wang Li hadn't anticipated.
Emperor's Essence, Blue Silver Affinity.
Wang Li frowned, then seemed to realize something:
"To go from Level 6 to Level 7, there's an added Emperor's Essence. It seems that a Level 7 Blue Silver Grass will no longer be the Blue Silver King, but the true Blue Silver Emperor."
"The Blue Silver King is the limit of the Blue Silver Grass. To further improve, this Emperor's Essence is needed. Since it's also called Blue Silver Affinity, does that mean it's related to all Blue Silver Grass?"
"So, before in the Blue Silver Domain, when I gave life force to the Blue Silver Grass, and they knelt and submitted to me, the power they contributed included this Emperor's Essence."
Wang Li finally saw the truth. Now that he understood everything, he suddenly felt enlightened:
"In other words, as long as I can continue to gather more Blue Silver Grass and gain their submission, through the spirit power, mental force, life essence, and Emperor's Essence they give back, I can truly evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor."
At this moment, Wang Li, in a good mood, began to focus on his other gains:
"My spirit power has increased to Level 47. Before absorbing the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, I cultivated to Level 43 on my own over three months, so the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo helped me increase my spirit power by four levels."
"Actually, it's not bad, considering I'm a Spirit Ancestor now. But Yan Yan Jie is already a Level 53 Spirit King. Should I also quickly raise my spirit power?"
"Grandpa's strength will also increase after he finishes eating the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, so he should be able to protect us. Yan Yan Jie, a 19-year-old Spirit King, and me, a 12-year-old Spirit King, seems a bit outrageous!"
"Forget it, the disguise effect of my Blue Silver Domain is becoming more and more perfect. If I'm going to enjoy it, I'll go all the way. First, I'll raise my spirit power to Level 50!"
Thinking this, Wang Li, without further ado, operated on the panel to use experience to increase his spirit power.
The effect was quickly apparent. Wang Li entered an idle cultivation state. The spirit power within his body, propelled by experience, began to circulate along a specific trajectory.
The circulation speed was incredibly fast, almost ridiculously so. Normally, Wang Li's cultivation would consume his stamina and energy, but now with experience propelling it, his spirit power surged like a mountain torrent.
After Wang Li, let's talk about Dugu Bo.
After he finished eating the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, he also entered a cultivation state, his entire body enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow light.
Broad earth-attribute energy flowed through various parts of his body, widening meridians, strengthening his physique, enhancing his Spirit, and boosting his spirit power…
As an Immortal Herb, its effects were very significant!
123, Grass, 456, King, 789, Emperor,
A Level 7 Blue Silver Grass is the Blue Silver Emperor. A Level 9 Blue Silver Grass is a Blue Silver Emperor infinitely close to the divine level. Ah Yin probably didn't reach this realm; she sacrificed herself before cultivating to her peak.
