Douluo Continent: Newcomer Yuhao, thank you Lan Xuanyu

Chapter 187 Ma Xiaotao's Advancement

"I can make the decision. You don't need to test us anymore. You can take away the seven immortal items directly, or the essence we have cultivated. I only ask that you show mercy."

Huo Yuhao sneered, "Fools! If I kill you all, wouldn't all the immortal treasures of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well be mine?"

A man dressed in purple appeared on the other side. He quickly stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Huo Yuhao.

Long Qiu'er subtly tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve.

Huo Yuhao understood what Long Qiu'er meant. This guy was extraordinary; his ability to temporarily transform into human form proved that his strength had already surpassed the level of 100,000 years.

The man in purple was quite handsome and acted with a sense of composure. He smiled wryly and said, "Sir, my name is Qiluo Tulip. I have been entrusted by the Sea God Tang San to manage the immortal items of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well together with Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item."

"May I say a few words?"

Huo Yuhao kicked the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, "This is one that can talk. You should learn from it."

The petals of the fragrant and exquisite fairy plant shrank, as if they were extremely aggrieved.

"—That's my opinion. What do you think?"

The meaning of the Qiluo Tulip can be summarized simply: after all, there is only one Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in the whole world, and destroying it completely would not benefit Huo Yuhao and the others.

It was their fault for not assessing the situation properly, so they were willing to make any compensation. Huo Yuhao could take as many immortal items as he wanted from here, as long as he didn't kill them.

Huo Yuhao tapped his chin, scanning the surrounding immortal items. In his perception, there were at least seven more auras equivalent to the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

The reason for the fierce attack on Xing Jiaoshu was to make an example of someone, and now that the chicken is dead, the goal of establishing authority has been achieved.

Moreover, these divine items might be useful in restoring the vitality of the entire Sunset Forest.

"Okay. Here's what you'd like to do: first, tell me what kind of spirit beasts you are and what your effects are. Remember, no tricks."

The purple-clad man, who was actually a tulip, nodded hurriedly. "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will tell you everything I know. However, please stop using your supernatural powers."

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand casually. All the souls except the golden tortoiseshell turned into streams of light and returned to their own sea of ​​consciousness.

He reached out and patted the golden tortoise's head. "I don't trust you, just as you don't trust me. I'm leaving only the old tortoise's soul behind, so don't even think about playing any tricks."

The man in purple seemed deflated, raising his hand to bow slightly to Huo Yuhao, "—Understood, thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency."

Allow."

For the immortals of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, this crisis has finally been resolved.

Then, to the astonishment of Long Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, and Huo Yuhao, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin approached Qiluo Tulip and began to sob like a spoiled girlfriend, "Waaaaahh ...

The purple-clad man, who was actually a tulip, lovingly touched the petals of the fragrant tulip and whispered a few words of comfort.

[The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb in Dragon King Legend has been changed to Qiluo Tulip. I don't know if this is a retcon or some other issue. I can only assume that the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb and Qiluo Tulip are a pair. In Douluo Continent III, the two were merged into one, which should be more reasonable.]

Huo Yuhao shook his head, no longer looking at the two affectionate immortal herbs, and instead walked towards the 100,000-year soul ring that the Fiery Apricot had burst forth from.

A golden light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to touch the 100,000-year-old soul ring.

Only then did Huo Yuhao notice that next to the soul bone was a piece of golden-red gelatinous substance.

It seems to have burst out from Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's body. Let's take it first; Xiaotaojie might still be able to use it.

"Sister Xiaotao, why don't you go and absorb that spirit ring and spirit bone first?"

"Me?" Ma Xiaotao pointed at herself in alarm. "No, no! That's a 100,000-year soul ring! I—I can't! Besides, you killed it, I can't absorb it, can I?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged, a mischievous smile on his face, and transmitted his voice to Ma Xiaotao: "My attack just now destroyed the soul of that Flame Cabbage, and it has already erased its soul. It can now be absorbed by outsiders, so don't worry."

Ma Xiaotao hesitated for a moment before walking toward Huo Yuhao. She had always been extremely convinced of Huo Yuhao's abilities, and the allure of a 100,000-year soul ring was indeed considerable.

After Ma Xiaotao sat down cross-legged, Huo Yuhao whispered, "First absorb the soul bone to enhance your physique and mental strength, then absorb the soul ring. Remember, next to that red spring, I can sense that the spring water there is very beneficial to you."

Without further hesitation, Ma Xiaotao picked up the skull that had burst out of the Fiery Apricot and placed it against her forehead. Instantly, the soul bone transformed into a red stream of light and entered Ma Xiaotao's head.

"The Kira Tulip, is it? You may begin."

Kira Tulip hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask one more question? What form does this golden hawksbill turtle beside you take? It doesn't seem to be a living being, yet it's somewhat different—"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. Sure enough, these intelligent immortal herbs were interested in souls.

"This is a spirit, a form different from spirit rings and spirit bones for spirit beasts. It coexists with the spirit master, and the spirit contract can be broken after the spirit master dies."

Then, seizing the opportunity, he told the immortal herbs about the soul contract.

If possible, Huo Yuhao didn't want to exterminate these guys, since soul spirits provide a greater boost to soul masters.

For example, among these immortal herbs and spirit beasts, Huo Yuhao discovered a golden dragon spirit that was very suitable for Long Qiu'er.

After Huo Yuhao finished explaining the Soul Contract, the immortals of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes all fell into deep thought.

The fact that a Soul Master can break their contract after death, and even have the possibility of a second spring, is indeed very attractive to the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Just then, a clear phoenix cry rang out.

Ma Xiaotao's delicate body slowly rose into the air beside the scorching Yangquan Spring. With her eyes closed, she stretched out her proud body, while the six soul rings around her—two yellow, two purple, and two black—pulsated rapidly at the same frequency.

Another deep, blood-red soul ring slowly rose, finally settling at the top.

At the same time, golden-red flames enveloped her delicate body, and the blazing phoenix flames spread outwards with the intense heat.

As the flames subsided, shimmering golden-red feathers covered Ma Xiaotao's entire body, and seven long phoenix feathers sprouted from her back. She soared into the sky, transforming into a magnificent fire phoenix about seven meters long, flapping her wings and soaring through the air.

Ma Xiaotao has officially advanced to the Soul Saint realm, and her Phoenix Flame has truly evolved to the ultimate flame!
