Douluo Continent: Breaking Through the Clouds, the Qilin Marches!

This time, refining the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom was far more difficult than before.

Achieving a perfect balance between two antagonistic herbs in the furnace is not only a test of the furnace master's micro-management skills, but also a protracted tug-of-war.

For another forty-nine days, Yang Wudi did not leave his post, using his own powerful soul energy as fuel to painstakingly maintain the illusory Taiji medicine furnace.

However, the valley did not appear deserted during this long period of alchemy.

Ten days after the furnace was opened, Dugu Bo, who had completely stabilized his level 93 cultivation, quietly left the valley and, as quickly as possible, brought a little girl with short, light dark green hair, as delicate as a porcelain doll, to this secret realm.

It was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

The Creation Tempering Pill, preserved in the Cold Jade Bottle, has finally found its owner.

Unlike Dugu Bo's violent transformation that involved surviving near-death experiences, Dugu Yan, who was only seven years old, experienced an unusually smooth process after taking the elixir.

Accompanied by a gentle, dark golden light cleansing her body and marrow, the illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent behind her rapidly lengthened, sprouting four claws and a newly emerging horn on the head of her Martial Soul. It let out a clear dragon roar and transformed into a crystal-clear Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Dragon.

Dugu Bo watched from the sidelines, tears streaming down his face. As a Title Douluo, he could clearly sense that because his granddaughter was young and her potential had not yet been fully utilized, the power of the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Flood Dragon's martial soul bloodline was much stronger than his own.

This not only means that the family's backlash curse has been completely shattered, but also that as long as she hunts dragon-type soul beasts for their soul rings in the future, it is not unfounded for Dugu Yan to transform into a true dragon martial soul.

"Breaked through five levels! Level nineteen now!"

After examining his granddaughter's soul power, Dugu Bo was so excited that his beard trembled. He turned to look at Yang Yuntian, who had just finished meditating, and exclaimed with barely concealed excitement:

"Yan Yan awakened her martial soul last year, with innate soul power at level seven. She obtained her first soul ring only half a year ago, and had just broken through to level fourteen before coming here."

This is even after most of the pill's energy went into reshaping her meridians and promoting her martial soul's evolution! If she were purely absorbing soul power, this girl would probably have broken through the bottleneck of the Great Soul Master directly!

These divine herbs, born of the essence of heaven and earth, are purified using alchemy techniques, making their absorption efficiency several times that of being swallowed raw.

In the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils were able to advance several levels to the Soul Venerable stage by simply chewing on immortal herbs. Now, this batch of Creation Pills not only has a variety of herbs added to assist it, but also has the blessing of Grandmaster Yang Wudi. Dugu Yan's cultivation level of fourteen levels has risen five levels in a row, which is truly a natural outcome.

With the poison completely eradicated, Dugu Yan regained the lively nature that a seven-year-old girl should have.

In this secluded valley, besides the three boring old men, the only source of amusement she could find was the little black jade unicorn that was training every day.

"Little Black! Come here and let your big sister give you a hug!"

Hey, why are you running away? Come back! Hmph, you're so cute!

Beside the blue stone of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Dugu Yan's eyes shone brightly as she opened her arms and pounced on Mo Yu Xiao Lin, who was doing a weighted shuttle run.

As a martial soul possessing the pure bloodline of auspicious beasts, Xiao Hei deeply abhors such kisses and hugs that humiliate the dignity of divine beasts.

Every time Dugu Yan approached, it would immediately transform into a black lightning bolt, skillfully hiding behind Yang Yuntian, peeking out half of its dark head, letting out a protesting growl, refusing to come out no matter what.

Yang Yuntian maintained his disciplined routine, constantly compressing his overflowing soul power into the bottleneck of level ten, remaining humble and composed. The only pity was that Dugu Bo's poison pill slowly dissipated as his poison skills were integrated into his bloodline, and the accelerator for his cultivation was gone.

……

While a peaceful scene unfolded deep within the Sunset Forest, far away in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters in Tiandou City...

Inside the main hall, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, sat in the main seat. Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back.

"Feng Zhi, there have been some changes recently in the herb and low-end healing medicine market in Tian Dou City," Chen Xin said, frowning slightly.

"The Dugu family suddenly opened a pharmacy, almost monopolizing most of the herbal medicine business in the city."

In particular, their premium hemostatic and healing powder was extremely effective, generating a great response among lower-level Soul Masters and mercenaries. Some of the merchant guilds under our sect suffered a significant blow.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy, and its inherited martial soul possesses a keen ability to appraise treasures. As a result, the school has an extremely vast business empire and is highly sensitive to market trends.

Ning Fengzhi picked up the fragrant tea beside him, took a small sip, and a thoughtful look flashed in his deep eyes.

After a moment, he put down his teacup and smiled gently:

"Uncle Jian, ignore it. Tell your men to give up this market share of herbs and low-end healing medicines."

"Oh? Why?" Although Chen Xin disliked worldly affairs, he knew that the medicinal powder, if accumulated over a long period of time, would amount to a huge sum of money.

Ning Fengzhi stood up and slowly analyzed:

"Firstly, although this medicine powder sells in large quantities, in our business landscape, this profit is at most a bonus and not worth making a big fuss about."

Secondly, everyone has their own expertise. Our sect excels in appraising treasures and engaging in commerce, but we are not skilled in the exquisite art of alchemy. Since we cannot offer pills of equal quality to compete, forcibly suppressing them will only make us look inferior.

"The most important point,"

"This pharmacy is under the name of Dugu Bo. The old poison master is eccentric and acts in a way that is both righteous and evil. It's not worth it to make enemies with a titled Douluo who is good at group attacks and poison for such a small gain."

Chen Xin nodded and smiled, "Feng Zhi is absolutely right. Although that old poisoner is not very strong, if he goes berserk and spreads poison throughout the city, he will indeed be a troublesome problem."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, turning his gaze towards the Sunset Forest, but a sense of doubt and vigilance secretly arose in his heart:

Dugu Bo, that old poisoner, has always only known how to kill. When did he learn such a sophisticated art of alchemy to save the world? Could there be some reclusive master guiding him behind this medicine hall?

……

Outside, undercurrents surged, while within the valley, a wondrous harmony prevailed.

The forty-ninth day arrived as scheduled.

hum-

At this moment, the two violent energies of extreme cold and extreme heat converged like rivers flowing into the sea, collapsing madly towards the heart of the furnace!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the valley was instantly drained. Even the usually carefree Dugu Bo immediately stopped smiling, grabbed Dugu Yan behind him, and stared at the sky with a solemn expression.

"Polarity gives rise to polarity, yin and yang return to one! Take this, old man!!"

Yang Wudi's eyes widened, his beard and hair stood on end, and he slammed his hand on the furnace.

There was no dazzling light or deafening spectacle. As the illusory medicine furnace completely dissipated, only a pill the size of a longan remained suspended in mid-air.

This pill is half ice blue and half crimson, the two extreme colors forming a perfect yin-yang symbol on its surface, without emitting even a trace of medicinal fragrance.

"Why is there only one?" Dugu Bo was taken aback.

Yang Wudi carefully put away the only pill in the cold jade bottle, then turned to look at Yang Yuntian, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"The essence of these two immortal herbs is too domineering. If they were divided into multiple pieces, it would inevitably lead to an imbalance of yin and yang, causing conflicting medicinal properties and causing the body to explode. Only by perfectly fusing them and condensing them into this single piece can there be a chance to forge a truly flawless golden body in the future!"

Yang Wudi solemnly handed the Cold Jade Bottle to Yang Yuntian, his gaze intense.

"Yun Tian, ​​the Yin-Yang Unity Pill is complete!"
