--- Chapter 59 ---
Han Yue played with her newly evolved martial soul and quarreled with Liu Erlong. Well, let's call it spar.
"Xiao Yue, calm down! I don't mean to kiss Xiao Yuan, okay? My body moved on its own!"
"Agh, why are you attacking my boobs!"
Liu Erlong knew it was her fault for overstepping Han Yue's territory. But can you blame her? She was too enthusiastic about the Immortal Pills Han Yuan made.
Of course, Han Yue didn't care about that and launched a barrage of moon blades at Liu Erlong, especially her chest.
Dugu Bo sneakily walked to Han Yuan's side and asked, "Young Master, isn't it dangerous to leave them like that?"
"Oh, do you want to meddle in, Senior?" Han Yuan smiled harmlessly.
"Feel free to do so, but you know the consequences as a man."
"..." Dugu Bo felt like he was talking to a mirror.
"Never mind."
"Yeah, I thought so."
Han Yuan chuckled, "Don't worry. My sister and the dean have bickered a lot for nearly a year. At most, they would get bruised here and there."
"Nothing good talk and ointment can't fix."
"Also, don't forget our dean is Spirit Saint with a powerful dragon martial soul, so her physique can endure some beating."
"Anyway, let's talk about more positive things."
A dark-brown melon with a light shine suddenly appeared on Han Yuan's palm, another Immortal Herb he harvested. Looking at the melon, Dugu Bo couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Yes, something about this melon entices Dugu Bo.
"Is this Immortal Herb?" asked Dugu Bo while suppressing his desire.
Han Yuan nodded, "Yes, it's called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which possesses the essence of Land Dragon and Earth elements. Upon eating it, not only will your martial soul's flaw be solved, but it will also evolve into a land dragon."
"Unfortunately, it wasn't compatible with you, Senior."
"Because it wasn't ice and fire medicine?" Dugu Bo raised a question.
"Yes," Han Yuan admitted. "This Immortal Herb is much more suitable for the dean, making her 'Scarlet Dragon' spirit calmer and evolve into a dual earth-fire dragon."
"Nevertheless, I can still use some of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and other Immortal Herb's essence to raise the Demonic Pill of a dragon-type spirit beast."
"What do you think, Senior? Do you want to continue with the Demonic Pill or consume the Immortal Pills?"
Dugu Bo pondered silently before eventually giving up, "Which is better for me, Young Master?"
"Both." Han Yuan smiled playfully, leaving Dugu Bo speechless.
Then, what's the point of asking me that question?!
Han Yuan stretched his hand, "Can you give me your Neidan, Senior?"
"This, okay..." Dugu Bo was uncomfortable but followed Han Yuan's order, slowly spitting a green pearl with black markings. After cleaning the pearl, he handed it to Han Yuan.
Han Yuan calmly observed the Neidan and commented, "I see..."
"Senior, you're lucky. When your Jade Phosphorus Snake evolved into the Jade Snake Phosphorus Emperor, the chaotic origin in your body purified to a certain degree and condensed into this Neidan."
"Neidan is a preliminary form of living being's evolution, which means your martial soul already showed a sign of evolving into a dragon from within."
"Unfortunately, the Neidan doesn't get enough nourishment and degrades into a mere Snake's Inner Alchemy instead of Dragon's Core."
"So, Young Master saying, I'm too weak to support the Neidan?" Dugu Bo was speechless.
"Pretty much, but it's recoverable." Han Yuan shrugged. "After I refine the Immortal Pill and Demonic Pill, I can fuse them into your Neidan, making a true Dragon's Core."
"..." Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly.
"Okay, let's do that."
"I will leave everything to you, Young Master!"
Han Yuan rolled his eyes, "Not so easy. We still needed your strength as a Title Douluo to hunt a fire-type dragon spirit beast for the dean's 8th spirit ring before turning it into Dragon Demonic Pill."
"Easy~! Tell me what kind of dragon and how old it was, and I will hunt it immediately." Dugu Bo confidently stated.
"100,000 years old." Han Yuan dropped a bomb, which rendered Dugu Bo speechless for the second, no, third time.
"..." Dugu Bo.
"Younger ones are fine, too, but must be from a pure-blooded dragon spirit beast."
"..." Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo wanted to scream and vent his frustration but couldn't.
100,000-YEAR-OLD SPIRIT BEAST, AND PURE-BLOODED DRAGON AT THAT, DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF? ARGH!
Dugu Bo doesn't even know if such spirit beasts exist.
He sighed and said, "Young Master, why don't we aim for something more achievable? Also, the dean might not be able to absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit ring."
"Hmph! Who said I can't!" Liu Erlong and Han Yue returned from their fights.
Despite tanking all the attacks, Liu Erlong only gets a few scratches and slash marks on her white shirt, revealing the enticing curves of her twin mountains.
Han Yuan glanced at Liu Erlong respectfully and said, "Senior, the dean has undergone personalized training from me. Her physique could rival a Title Douluo in terms of durability."
"As for the soul shock, I have a method to weaken it."
"Are you confident, Young Master?" Dugu Bo looked Han Yuan straight in the eyes.
"100%." Han Yuan replied confidently.
Dugu Bo harrumphed, "Fine, let's do this madness. Many people called me the 'weakest' Title Douluo, but my strength is not to be underestimated!"
"That's the spirit."
"Well, we won't hunt for the spirit ring away. I'll make some Immortal Pills, enhancing everyone's talent, and then we can hunt for everyone's spirit ring." Han Yuan laid down a plan.
"Uncle Xin, Sister Yanyan, Auntie Xuelan, Sister Lingling, and my red-grade students must improve in a month."
"Why a month?" Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask.
Han Yuan chuckled, "Because one month was enough to test the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's attitude."
"Uncle Fengzhi should have realized we have connections with Senior Dugu. If Uncle Fengzhi doesn't contact me within a month, we can proceed with our plan."
"Then, what if he contacts you?" Han Yue narrowed her eyes.
Han Yuan smiled, "Then, we can use the intelligence-gathering network of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to find the 100,000-year-old spirit beast for the dean."
"Why bother making it hard for ourselves when you can let others do it for you? Hehehe~!"
Damn, Fox! That's what Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong had in their minds when listening to Han Yuan's plan. Even an experienced fox like Ning Fengzhi would have never thought a seven-year-old kid would lure him into a trap like this, right?
"Anyway." Han Yuan clapped his hands. "From now on, I will stay in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
"Dean, inform the teachers at Dao Academy to send the "goods" our good Uncle Fengzhi and Brother Qinghe gave to me to Dugu Mansion."
"On it." Liu Erlong agreed immediately.
"I will get them for you as soon as they arrive, Young Master," Dugu Bo said with a hint of excitement.
"Should I absorb my 4th spirit ring?" Han Yue suddenly asked.
"No, not now." Han Yuan shook his head.
"Sister, you should focus on consolidating your foundation. While my pill has no side effects, a fast advancement like that is not good for your spirit master's willpower."
"Remember to make the strength yours and not the opposite."
"Okay..." Han Yue nodded slowly, accepting Han Yuan's words.
Han Yuan stared at the azure sky, feeling it was much more pleasant than before, and said, "Now, we are going to take off for real."
'One step closer to my revenge...'
