Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

The next day, after Chen Jieqi finished his meditation and prayer, and had breakfast,

Looking at Dugu Yan, who was helping Dugu Bo organize medicinal herbs not far away, her eyes were full of tender consideration.

"If Sister Yan Yan's 'Azure Serpent' martial soul continues down the path of poison control, its maximum potential is at most that of Dugu Bo."

Even if his martial soul cannot evolve into the 'Azure Serpent Emperor', he would still be far from reaching Dugu Bo's level.

Even if it were to evolve into the 'Azure Serpent King' by sheer luck and follow Dugu Bo's path of 'poison sacs',

"It's unbearable to think about having to endure decades of backlash before the capsule is fully formed..."

Chen Jieqi murmured to himself, gazing at the cluster of immortal herbs not far away.

"No, I can't let her go down this path, even if Dugu Yan herself can endure it."

Chen Jieqi didn't want her to suffer like that, so he had no choice but to change course and take the path of a snake transforming into a dragon.

So, the choice is yours—'Earth Dragon Golden Melon'.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a divine item belonging to the Earth-attribute plant category. It is a fist-sized, golden, round melon with fine dragon scale patterns on its skin.

It contains pure earth elemental power and the bloodline of the dragon race, making it a top-tier plant nurtured by the unique spiritual veins of heaven and earth.

It has excellent compatibility with Earth and Dragon type martial souls, enhancing the control over the power of the earth. It is especially suitable for Earth type martial souls, Earth Dragons, and Sub-Dragons, significantly increasing the power of Earth type skills.

Furthermore, and most importantly, it purifies the martial soul bloodline, helping non-dragon martial souls (such as the Jade Phosphorous Serpent) evolve into earth-attribute dragon martial souls. It can also remove toxins and impurities from the body.

This is also the reason why Chen Jieqi was confident in choosing to let Dugu Yan follow the path of transforming from a snake into a dragon.

Having made up his mind, Chen Jieqi stood up, walked to Dugu Yan's side, and took her hand:

"Sister Yan Yan, your brother has come up with a new way for you."

Let's not take the path of drug control, but rather the path of transformation from a snake to a dragon, okay?

Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback:

"A snake transforming into a dragon? What's that?"

Chen Jieqi squatted down in the herb garden, gently stroking the dragon scales of the earthworm golden gourd, and turned to Dugu Yan beside him, saying:

"Sister Yan Yan, look at this melon. It can not only infuse you with the blood of the earth dragon, but also..."

It can also completely cleanse your body of toxins, so you'll never have to suffer the pain of a backlash again.

Dugu Yan squatted down, looking at the round melon that gleamed with golden light, her voice trembling slightly:

"Is it really possible to... completely get rid of it?"

"Um."

Chen Jieqi nodded emphatically.

"Your Jade Phosphorous Serpent will absorb its earth element and slowly transform into an earth dragon. From now on, your martial soul will be an earth-type dragon."

After transforming into a dragon, not only will one's physique be greatly enhanced, but the hidden danger of the "poison" attribute will also be eliminated, and replaced with the neutral or heavy "earth" attribute.

Besides the common offensive or defensive options, the Earth element can also be used for control through versatility and adaptability to different terrains.

You can continue down the control route without any problem. If you have the chance to evolve into "Earth Power" again later,

Then its potential and foundation are no less than those of an ultimate attribute, but that's a story for another time.

Dugu Yan looked at Chen Jieqi's earnest eyes, then at the immortal herb with its dragon-scale-like luster.

The unease in his eyes gradually turned into anticipation:

"Okay, I'll do as you say, sister!"

"Sister Yan Yan, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is inherently more suited to earth-attribute or dragon-type martial souls, thereby drawing out the 'Power of Earth Veins' or 'Power of the Earth'."

Therefore, the method of consumption is to drip blood and then guide the soul power to slowly integrate the golden melon into the body to achieve bloodline resonance;

As for your situation, Sister Yan Yan, it involves purifying your bloodline, evolving it, and removing toxins, so oral administration is fine.

This will likely last for a few days. During this time, you'll need to endure it, neutralize the violent earth energy of the golden gourd, and avoid a backlash.

Chen Jieqi spoke solemnly to Dugu Yan.

"Thank you, little Qi."

Dugu Yan took the earth dragon golden melon and said with a smile, then sat cross-legged and began to eat.

Chen Jieqi stood guard beside Dugu Yan, watching her take small bites of the earth dragon golden melon. The golden flesh melted between her lips and teeth, carrying a rich earth elemental aroma.

"Bear with it, Sister Yan Yan, this energy is a bit strong."

He gave them a soft, gentle instruction.

Not long after, Dugu Yan's brows furrowed sharply, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"It's so heavy..."

It felt like being crushed by a stone...

Dugu Yan felt her meridians swell slightly under the onslaught of the violent earth energy; the intense pain made her clench her fists involuntarily.

But then, a tingling sensation spread from deep within the bones, a sign that the blood was being purified and the bones were being strengthened.

Seeing the scene before him, Chen Jieqi immediately reminded him:

"Don't resist, let the energy flow along your meridians; it's helping you detoxify and rejuvenate your blood!"

Gradually, a yellowish-brown halo emerged from Dugu Yan's body, enveloping her in a cocoon of light.

On his bare forearms, fine dragon patterns began to emerge, and a yellowish-brown mist billowed from his pores.

A small vortex of energy swirled around her, causing even the ground beneath her feet to tremble slightly.

"It's a success..."

Chen Jieqi looked at the thick and profound earth-elemental energy and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The curse of the Dugu family was finally beginning to be completely rewritten at this moment.

......

The mountain stream returned to its former tranquility, with only the chirping of flowers, birds, and insects, and a faint smell of sulfur lingering in the air.

Chen Jieqi sat cross-legged on the spot, feeling the energy between heaven and earth slowly flowing into his body.

He knew all too well that no matter how talented one was, without diligent practice, it was all just empty talk.

Without strong backing, the so-called sense of security is nothing but a castle in the air.

Therefore, even as he watched Dugu Yan transform, Chen Jieqi dared not relax in the slightest. He maintained his meditative state and silently consolidated his soul power, which had just reached level 18.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jieqi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Dugu Yan. The earthy yellow energy aura surrounding her had completely disappeared.

The raging energy, like magma, was finally completely digested. The brows that had been furrowed in agony now relaxed smoothly and gently.

What surprised him most was that Dugu Yan's signature short purple hair, under the influence of earth element and the thorough purification of toxins,

Her hair had quietly turned a deep, dark orange, falling over her shoulders, giving her a more mature and composed air compared to her previous aloofness.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.

The emerald green eyes that originally belonged to the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had now quietly changed into a deep earthy yellow.

Those eyes were as deep as the earth, appearing profound and unfathomable.

"It's a success."

Chen Jieqi was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, his voice full of relief.

"Sister Yan Yan, how are you feeling?"

Dugu Yan moved her fingers and felt the powerful energy flowing through her meridians. Without the toxins that used to plague her, she felt completely refreshed.

She raised a hand to run her hand through her short hair, looking at her dark orange hair and earthy yellow eyes in the mirror, a confident smile playing on her lips:

"Very stable. The curse of the Dugu family has finally ended in my generation!"

Dugu Yan suddenly stood up, pulled Chen Jieqi into her arms, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy:

"I've absorbed it all! It's exactly as you said!"

Her pretty face lit up as she chattered on about the changes.

"The toxins have all been cleared out, my body is several times stronger than before, and I'm much stronger too!"

The Azure Serpent Martial Soul has evolved into a sub-dragon, summoning the Golden Dragon with a One-Horned Blade. Not only is it thick-skinned and tough, but it can also control earth elements…

Chen Jieqi was held tighter and tighter by her, his cheek pressed against the soft fabric of her clothes, his breath filled with the scent of a young girl.

He could feel Dugu Yan's excitement, even though it made him feel a little suffocated by her chest.

He simply patted her back gently, a tender smile curving his lips, and patiently listened to her finish speaking.

Gradually, Dugu Yan's voice grew softer and softer; belatedly, she realized her lapse in composure.

She looked down at the little Chen Jieqi in her arms, who was holding her close and smiling at her with his little face upturned, his eyes curving into crescents.

"what……"

Dugu Yan abruptly released her grip, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, and then she took a step back.

Chen Jieqi was also powerless to do anything; the girl's blush spoke louder than any words, so he could only pretend to ask casually:

"Sister Yan Yan, have your soul skills changed?"
