From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 526 Ice and Fire Immortal Valley, Nine-Colored Immortal Gourd!

On the Douluo Continent side, Chen Hong and Ye Lingling did not return directly to Soto City-State, but instead made a stop at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Huh, when did such a big tree grow here?" At this moment, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is basically no different from a fairyland. Hundreds of immortal herbs and soul beasts have directly changed the environment here. Chen Hong felt like he had stepped into a paradise.

Currently, in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, Poison Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo are resident Douluos, while other Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall take turns cultivating here. Yes, they come to cultivate. Due to the abundance of immortal herbs and spirit beasts, the spiritual energy automatically gathered in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is purified by these herbs and beasts, with some being absorbed and some being expelled. This has greatly improved the extremely cold and hot elemental environment inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which was originally unsuitable for cultivation. Now, the energy purity inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is at least ten times that of the outside world.

In other words, even a Soul Master can achieve a cultivation speed ten times faster than outside when cultivating inside!

However, the director of the research institute of the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley strictly limits the number of Title Douluos who can cultivate inside. The main task of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is to help the immortal herbs and soul beasts grow. Each immortal herb and soul beast is a natural aggregator of heaven and earth soul power. The stronger the immortal herb and soul beast, the more terrifying the speed at which the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well gathers heaven and earth soul power will be!

"Didn't you plant a withered and flourishing vine here back then? That thing grew very well here, and it has now reached the Black Realm." Near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, there grows a giant flourishing tree that is twenty or thirty meters tall. Its trunk is extremely thick, and Chen Hong cannot wrap his arms around it when he stands next to it.

In a valley filled with ethereal mist, a woman in white carrying a gourd of wine rode a giant boar two meters tall, emerging drunkenly from the white fog.

Ning Lu, head of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Valley Technology Chamber of Commerce Research Institute.

"You little rascal, you're always playing around and disappearing. Your dad's a little rascal too, he went off to fight the Deep Sea Overlord without a word, without even telling me. Now he's stuck over there at Sun and Moon, too scared to come back." Ning Lu lay half-reclined on the giant boar's back, gulping down a few mouthfuls of wine from her gourd in front of Chen Hong and Ye Lingling below. Chen Hong noticed that the color of the gourd in his mother's hand seemed different from before.

"Luckily, you know how to assign tasks. You left me a pig and a tree at home. Your tree is growing pretty fast. I don't think there's ever been a vine that lasts for ten thousand years. The nutrients here are good, so it's grown into a vine that has withered and flourished for ten thousand years."

"You pig eats very well, wandering around this valley all day looking for food, and you've already reached the Purple Realm. If you keep raising it for a few more years, it might even reach the Black Realm."

When Ning Lu was bored at home with nothing to do, she would do one thing: take care of the pets that Chen Hong had left with her.

Putting everything else aside, Ning Lu takes her pets very seriously. Bajie is well-fed and plump, and the withered tree has been given a prime spot with no other plants vying for it. It's safe to say that the other immortal herbs and spirit beasts within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well wouldn't dare to be jealous of such favoritism from their mother.

"Has Ning Rongrong been found?" Ning Lu's information was delayed by a few days, so she didn't know that Ning Rongrong had already returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and was eagerly preparing to show off her 'Nine Treasures Demon Sealing Tower'.

"I've definitely found it. If I hadn't, how could I have dared to come back?" Chen Hong stepped forward, smiling as he patted Bajie's large nose. As a wild boar, Bajie was clearly quite overweight; with its size, it could easily be mistaken for a legendary wild boar king. All I can say is that its mother's pig-raising skills are absolutely top-notch.

As for the growth rate of the Withered and Flourishing Tree, it was obviously beyond Chen Hong's imagination. Chen Hong had just checked the condition of the Withered and Flourishing Tree and found that this greedy fellow's roots had almost spread from the ground into the Ice and Fire Spring. It was estimated that it would reach the 100,000-year level in a few years and then usher in the splendor of life.

The characteristics of the withered and flourishing tree are rapid growth and rapid death. It has virtually no fighting power, but its growth rate is extremely fast.

Normally, the Withered Flour Vine would reach its ultimate sublimation at the thousand-year mark, leaving behind seeds and burning its life force. However, Chen Hong's vine might have sublimated prematurely, thus managing to reach the Black Realm in the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. But once it reaches the Red Realm, the Withered Flour Vine will likely be unable to hold on any longer, and its lifespan will begin its countdown. Just like bamboo, it grows for sixty years, only to bloom in the end.

Of course, the life forms of the Withered and Flourishing Tree after the Red Realm have probably evolved into other species. After reaching the ultimate sublimation, the upper limit of its seeds may be stronger, and it may be able to grow to a higher limit. As long as Chen Hong finds the seeds and continues to plant them, he will still be able to grow the second generation of the Withered and Flourishing Tree.

"Mom's new wine gourd looks even better!" Chen Hong said, admiring Ning Lu's wine gourd while petting the pig.

"I've been consuming the petals of the Purple Realm Purple Tulip. My seventh spirit ring was directly engraved from that Purple Realm Purple Tulip. Look." Seeing Chen Hong's interest in her wine gourd, Ning Lu stood up, rubbed her neck, and then revealed her spirit ring.

Yellow, purple, black, black, seven layers of spirit rings bloomed behind Ning Lu, with the outermost purple spirit ring looking somewhat out of place.

"The petals of the Qiluo Tulip are subtly changing and optimizing my bloodline, but to evolve my martial soul, it must be done from multiple aspects. Rongrong consumed an entire Qiluo Tulip, hence the strong effect. However, that kind of behavior is somewhat like draining the pond to catch all the fish, which does not conform to the research principles of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, so I tried to supplement it from other directions."

Ning Lu slowly exhaled a few breaths, finally sobering up, and then spread her hands to summon her evolved martial soul:

"The Nine-Colored Immortal Gourd, the petals of the Qiluo Tulip optimized the bloodline, and the Qiluo Tulip's Martial Soul True Body Soul Ring gave the Seven-Colored Gourd a little stimulation. In the end, the quantitative change led to the qualitative change. While your father was still out there fighting the Deep Sea Overlord, I unknowingly completed the Martial Soul evolution not long after breaking through to Soul Saint."

"Once the Qiluo Tulip reaches the Dark Realm, I'll try using its petals to brew wine. If I use my Martial Soul True Body to brew the wine, it should theoretically have some effect on the Ning family disciples. I'll supply them for a few years, and whether it will have any effect depends on their fate."

The number of Qiluo Tulips is limited and cannot enable everyone to evolve. Therefore, Ning Lu can only try to compensate with her own martial soul ability, hoping that quantity will lead to quality. However, the extent of the effect depends on each person's fate. In any case, most people cannot cultivate to the Soul Douluo level, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is sufficient.

Chen Hong blinked his big eyes at his mother on the back of the Wild Boar King. He wondered why his mother's transformation was so different from his own.
