In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 60 This crazy woman!

"Holy crap, refined iron ore!" Zhu Wu was secretly surprised when he saw the metallic texture at the edge of the claw mark.

There is a naturally formed vein of fine iron ore at the bottom of this rocky mountain!

A quick glance revealed that the bear's claws stretched horizontally, less than a hundred meters high, their length obscured by the dense forest, with a visible range of only a few hundred meters. A further look at the dense, deep claw marks on the stone wall gave him a new understanding of the hardness and sharpness of the bear's claws.

Indeed, he's quite fierce; tearing him apart by hand shouldn't be a problem.

The claws gleamed with golden light, clearly indicating that their strength had been further enhanced after consuming the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

"Zhu Wu?" Looking up, Xiong Jun's eyes showed surprise, clearly it was the first time he had seen Zhu Wu display such an attitude.

It was a true dragon-type soul beast, not a manifestation of soul power; Zhu Wu did not conceal his aura.

"Yes." Zhu Wu nodded. "I'm here to invite you to my place for a meal, and also to drop by for future visits."

"Okay, I'll go in a bit." Xiong Jun said simply and clearly.

"However, since you're treating, you'd better prepare plenty of food, otherwise I won't have enough to eat."

"You can rest assured about that." Zhu Wu smiled and continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll go call the Crimson King and Zi Ji."

"No need to see me out!" Xiong Jun said casually.

Zhu Wu nodded, and without further delay, turned and flew away.

Before long, they arrived above a canyon. Looking down, the ground at the bottom and the stone walls on both sides were embedded with crimson crystals. These were fire phosphorus stones; the Crimson King had told him that their function was to absorb sunlight and store heat. Unlike the Crimson King's former territory, the Misty Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest did not have volcanoes here, so he had specially ordered Di Tian to bring all the fire phosphorus stones from his territory to create this special environment.

They were old acquaintances, so Zhu Wu simply greeted the Crimson King and flew away.

After some time, they arrived above a darker, denser forest. The ground was entirely swampy, and the thick fog obscured the horizon.

As expected of Murasaki, she has a cold and aloof personality, and even chooses to live so far away.

"Roar!" As they flew, a dragon's roar reached their ears. Zhu Wu could hear the suppressed emotion contained within it, clearly indicating that the dragon was enduring some kind of unbearable pain.

"Is it absorbing a cold-attribute immortal herb?" Zhu Wu wondered, and immediately increased his flight speed.

"It's Murasaki!"

They gave advance notice while flying.

"What is it?" Zi Ji's voice was even more subdued, her tone as cold and aloof as ever.

Zhu Wu did not reply, but continued to approach rapidly.

A moment later, Murasaki's voice suddenly echoed, "Don't come any closer!"

"Are you absorbing the immortal herbs?" Zhu Wu, who was familiar with Zi Ji's stubborn and proud personality, finally replied, "Zi Ji, too much of a good thing is bad. Pushing yourself too hard is not a good thing."

"Once the body is overloaded and its foundation is damaged, it is by no means easy to make up for it."

"With the help of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, my physical body has been modified by the bloodline of the Dragon God and has awakened the dual attributes of ice and fire. It can simulate the aura of the Yin-Yang Well to a certain extent. This aura has a certain suppressive effect on any poison and may be able to alleviate your pain."

"It can even help you absorb the medicine more quickly."

As they flew, their gaze quickly swept over the towering trees, and a relatively open area of ​​water suddenly appeared before them. In the center stood a cypress tree, not very tall, much shorter than the surrounding towering trees, but extremely wide, casting a dark shadow over the surroundings. Its roots were extensive, layer upon layer, forming a large flat area.

Because it is not high above the water, only about one meter away, it looks very damp and is covered with moss.

A giant blue-purple dragon, hundreds of meters long, was coiled on it, its body covered in white frost.

Thick, cold fog rose and spread from Zi Ji's center, turning the surrounding ground white.

"I don't need it!" Zi Ji glanced at the true dragon that Zhu Wu had transformed into, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her tone was firm.

Zhu Wu frowned, his gaze sweeping over Zi Ji's current state. He was almost certain that Zi Ji had forcibly consumed the next immortal herb before her body had fully adapted and before she was certain she could absorb it.

This crazy woman is overflowing with energy! Does she really think her body is made of iron?

Honestly, I don't quite understand why Murasaki would be so unwise, since she doesn't usually seem stupid.

Could it be that he was upset because he saw how easily Brigitte could gain the approval of Acacia Heartbreak Red?

Thinking of this possibility, his hands involuntarily clenched slightly.

The Acacia Heartbreak Red has comprehensive medicinal properties and nourishes the blood and qi. He naturally saw this through his Eye of Living Beings and was genuinely willing to give it to Biji.

But I must admit that there were indeed selfish motives involved.

He, being single, has no chance of gaining recognition, but Bi Ji has a chance. And given Di Tian's personality and loyalty to the soul beast race, he will most likely give it to him.

I really am a complete scoundrel. Thinking of the help Di Tian has given me during this time, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Then I looked at Zi Ji and my gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Zi Ji, this is not a discussion, but an order!" she said as she flew down. "Until the King arrives, I will temporarily take charge of all future plans for the Soul Beast race. You are an important part of my future plans and also an important fighting force for the Soul Beast race today."

"I will not allow you to suffer any losses."

"I want a fully-fledged dragon warrior, not a mere reptile in name only. Your body, from the moment you were born into this world as a dragon, was destined not to belong to you alone."

"Purple Princess, never forget your mission."

After being scolded, Zi Ji calmed down and gritted her teeth, remaining still.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu didn't say anything more. He quickly landed in front of Zi Ji's huge body, slammed his claws together, and poured out the ice and fire power stored in his body space, which quickly flowed down his arms to his palms.

The two polar energies converged, instantly creating a thick white fog.

Immediately, Zhu Wu pressed forward with both claws, and the white mist spread instantly until it touched Zi Ji's body, gradually spreading to other parts.

Before long, the white frost on Zi Ji's body began to fade at a visible speed, revealing the smooth scales underneath.

It is dark purple all over, with a faint blue sheen, and appears bluish-purple from a distance.

This blue hue was a color that hadn't appeared before; clearly, it was a change that had occurred after continuously consuming the cold-attribute immortal herbs.

"Zi Ji, once you've adjusted yourself these past two days, set off for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well," Zhu Wu continued. "With the Demon King overseeing you, and given the unique environment there, I believe you'll be able to quickly absorb the remaining immortal herbs. Afterward, you can venture deep into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and have the Water Dragon King teach you for a while. Just say it's my instruction. The bigger picture is important; I believe she won't refuse."

"With her guidance, given your talent, your strength should improve rapidly."

"Just consider this my personal reason. With my current strength, I am not yet able to delve into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. In that case, you will go down and receive instruction from the Water Dragon King in my place. When you have mastered your skills and return here, you can pass them on to me, so that I may also benefit from them."

"Even, if possible, I hope you can ask the Fire Dragon King to teach you some tips on using fire attributes."

"When we return, both I, the Crimson King, and Little Lion will benefit from this. Perhaps, Emperor Tian and Lord Xiong can also learn something from it."

"The so-called 'all methods are based on the same principle'; although they have different attributes, one can still gain some insights from them."

"..." Zi Ji remained silent for a long while before finally uttering through gritted teeth, "Thank you."

The protagonist felt guilty for scheming against the honest Emperor Tian, ​​and from then on, the Dragon Clan gained a true Emperor Yingtian.
