The next day after returning to Exotic Beast Academy, Yu Yan brought the prepared Immortal Herbs, void clarity jade core and moon cleansing lotus, to find Ye Lingling and help her evolve her Spirit.
Looking at the two Immortal Herbs placed before her, Ye Lingling, who knew exactly how precious Immortal Herbs were, took the lead in swearing to the unknown gods that she would follow Yu Yan forever, always listen to him, and never harbor any ill intentions toward him.
After swearing the oath, under Yu Yan's guidance, Ye Lingling consumed the two Immortal Herbs one by one and began to evolve her Spirit.
Under the combined effect of the two Immortal Herbs, a brilliant radiance erupted from Ye Lingling's body, and her Nine Heart Begonia Spirit began to undergo a change.
Wisps of visible black-red threads appeared in the stamens of the Nine Heart Begonia. These black-red threads connected to Ye Lingling and also extended through the Void Realm to others. Based on the direction and state of the threads, it was clear that they were the primary reason why only two Nine Heart Begonias could exist at the same time.
Sensing a threat, these black-red threads began to tighten, exerting pressure on Ye Lingling.
Before the black-red threads could wreak havoc, the two complementary Immortal Herbs began to take effect. Part of their medicinal power protected Ye Lingling, while the other part methodically cut away the black-red threads on the Nine Heart Begonia, lifting the curse on the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit.
An hour later, the black-red threads vanished completely. The remaining medicinal power merged into the Nine Heart Begonia, making the vitality it radiated even more apparent. A visible surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi swirled around the Nine Heart Begonia, making it look like something that didn't belong in the mortal World.
Because the effect of the two Immortal Herbs was not to raise the Spirit Power Level, Ye Lingling's spirit power only increased by 5 ranks, successfully reaching Rank 30. As long as she absorbed one more spirit ring, she could become a support system Spirit Elder.
Considering that support system Spirit Masters generally Cultivate slowly, the fact that Ye Lingling could reach Rank 30 at this age definitely earned her the title of Genius.
"Lingling, how do you feel?"
When Ye Lingling opened her eyes, Dugu Yan, who was most concerned about her, was the first to ask about her state.
"I feel very comfortable, more comfortable than ever before, super, super comfortable."
Ye Lingling, who was not good with words, didn't know how to answer Dugu Yan's inquiry in detail, so she emphasized her most direct feeling three times in a row.
Knowing Ye Lingling's personality, Dugu Yan chose to ask her questions one by one. Through Dugu Yan's questioning, Yu Yan also learned about the abilities of the evolved Nine Heart Begonia.
The basic ability of the Nine Heart Begonia hadn't changed; its sole ability was still healing. However, its healing power had significantly improved compared to before; the healing power of a Rank 30 Nine Heart Begonia was not at all inferior to that of a Rank 50 one.
This was determined because the Nine Heart Begonia clan possessed very complete ancestral notes. Ye Lingling had read them when she was bored and had a clear understanding of the Nine Heart Begonia's healing abilities at different ranks.
Besides healing injuries, the Nine Heart Begonia could also slightly recover spirit power, though compared to its healing ability, the spirit power recovery was hardly worth mentioning.
