Chapter 50: Earth Dragon Golden Melon
A roasted Grass Chicken, with crispy skin and tender meat, emitting a mouth-watering aroma, was quickly devoured by Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan.
Fortunately, this Grass Chicken was a two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Spirit Beast and quite large; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been enough for the three of them to share.
After finishing the chicken and filling their stomachs, the three returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Due to the threat from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it wasn’t convenient for them to go outside, so they had to hide in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the foreseeable future.
The valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well contained extremely violent ice and fire energy. Whether human or Spirit Beast, inhaling this energy for a long time would eventually result in death by body explosion.
Dugu Bo could rely on his profound spirit power to forcibly suppress this violent ice and fire energy.
In the past, he even used this energy to suppress the deadly toxins invading his body.
Lu Chen, having consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the fiery apricot delicate flower, could now bathe or swim in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without sustaining any harm.
Naturally, the ice and fire energy in the air posed even less of a threat to him.
As for Dugu Yan, she had consumed the Dragon Origin Fruit, and her Jade Phosphor Snake had evolved into a Jade Phosphorus Dragon. With a powerful physique and incredible digestion, she could not only refine toxins to increase her spirit power but also refine the ice and fire energy for the same purpose.
In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she was like a fish in water; not only was she safe from harm, but the environment also greatly accelerated her cultivation speed.
For various reasons, Dugu Bo, Lu Chen, and Dugu Yan now all possessed the ability to live long-term within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Over the next half month!
Every three days, Lu Chen would perform his fourth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Purification, to help Dugu Bo purify the toxins in his body.
Because the toxins in Dugu Bo’s body had accumulated over many years, they were deeply rooted, having penetrated his internal organs and even his bone marrow.
Even for Lu Chen, it took half a month and five separate treatments to finally completely eliminate the toxins from Dugu Bo’s body.
On that day!
As the toxins were purged from Dugu Bo’s body, the Bottleneck that had trapped him for years was forcibly broken in an instant.
His spirit power broke through from Rank 91 to Rank 92!
It was quite pitiful; since Dugu Bo absorbed his ninth spirit ring and became a Titled Douluo, his spirit power had stagnated at Rank 91. No matter how hard he cultivated, his spirit power hadn’t grown at all.
There were many reasons for this, but the most significant was that the spirit power Dugu Bo painstakingly cultivated every day was used to suppress the toxins in his body.
That was why his spirit power had remained stagnant for so many years.
Now that he was no longer troubled by the toxins, the spirit power used to suppress them was completely liberated, allowing his spirit power to increase by one rank.
Dugu Bo was overjoyed. Having completely escaped the burden of the toxins, he felt as if his body had aged ten years in reverse. He felt comfortable from the inside out; that cold, piercing pain never appeared again.
At the same time, his appearance changed; his long, dark green hair had turned completely white.
Originally, because his body had suffered from toxic erosion for years, his expression was extremely sinister, and his smile alone was enough to stop a child’s crying at night.
Now he looked much more peaceful. Against the backdrop of his snowy white hair, he looked like an ordinary old man rather than the fearsome Poison Douluo.
Not only that, but the one-rank increase in spirit power made Dugu Bo grin from ear to ear.
Ever since Dugu Bo became a Titled Douluo, his strength hadn’t improved even an inch.
Although Dugu Bo didn’t say it openly, he felt deep regret in his heart.
He didn’t want to stay at Rank 91 forever and be known by others as the weakest Titled Douluo.
He was now at Rank 92, and because the toxins were completely gone, his spirit power would continue to rise as long as he cultivated diligently.
Breaking through to Rank 93, Rank 94, or even Rank 95 was now possible.
Just thinking about it made Dugu Bo feel refreshed.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked at Dugu Bo and said:
"Brother Dugu, actually half a month ago, when I consumed the two Immortal Herbs—the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the fiery apricot delicate flower—my internal spirit power surged, and I broke through from Rank 69 to Rank 70."
"Now that the toxins in your body have been cleared, I would like to invite you to accompany me to hunt a suitable plant-type Spirit Beast to serve as my Seventh Spirit Ring."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was happy for Lu Chen. He truly considered Lu Chen a brother now, so he immediately laughed heartily and said:
"This is a good thing! This old man has no problem with it. I’ll call Yan Yan to come along, and we’ll set off immediately to find a suitable plant Spirit Beast for your Seventh Spirit Ring."
"The Seventh Spirit Ring concerns the Martial Soul Avatar; as a Spirit Master’s most important ring, we absolutely cannot be careless. We must choose carefully."
Seeing Dugu Bo agree, Lu Chen also showed a relaxed smile:
"There’s no rush. Since you are no longer troubled by toxins, Brother Dugu, why not take this time to eat the Earth Dragon Golden Melon?"
"I believe this will surely boost your strength significantly. Not only can it enhance your spirit power, but it might even evolve your Spirit. It’s better to do this sooner rather than later."
"In case we encounter danger outside, the stronger you are, the safer we will be."
Dugu Bo’s heart stirred. He had been so happy about clearing the toxins that he had almost forgotten about this.
His granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had eaten a Dragon Origin Fruit, and her body, Soul, spirit power, and Spirit had all undergone a fundamental transformation.
Even if this Earth Dragon Golden Melon wasn’t as good as the Dragon Origin Fruit, it certainly wouldn’t be far off.
If he ate it, there would definitely be a significant improvement.
Dugu Bo immediately looked at Lu Chen:
"Worthy Brother Lan Chen, then I’ll have to trouble you to find that Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
Lu Chen nodded and said:
"It’s a small matter."
As he spoke, Lu Chen released his Blue Silver Domain. By communicating through the domain, it took only a moment for him to pinpoint the location of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
Lu Chen turned and walked quickly. After about a dozen steps, he stopped at a certain spot, took a shovel out of his storage soul guidance device, and began digging.
At the same time, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan gathered around curiously.
Under the watchful eyes of the grandfather and granddaughter, Lu Chen soon unearthed a golden-yellow sweet potato-like object.
The melon was about the size of two fists. Although it was dug out of the soil, it didn’t have the slightest earthy smell; instead, it emitted a faint, fresh fragrance.
Lu Chen picked up the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and handed it to Dugu Bo:
"Brother Dugu, this is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It can strengthen the consumer’s control over the Earth Element and promote the evolution of snake-type and sub-dragon-type Spirits."
"The only issue now is that your Spirit, the Jade Phosphor Snake, has already evolved into the Jade Phosphor Serpent, which is an extremely high-level Spirit."
"A single Earth Dragon Golden Melon might not be enough to cause a fundamental evolution in your Jade Phosphor Serpent."
"However, it will definitely increase your strength. There are no special instructions for eating it; you can just consume it directly."
Dugu Bo reached out and took the Earth Dragon Golden Melon:
"Then this old man won’t stand on ceremony."
Dugu Bo didn’t mind the mud on the melon. He casually wiped it on his robe, lifted it to his mouth, and began to eat.
In just a few moments, Dugu Bo had finished the entire Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
Instantly, a thick surge of earth-attribute energy swept rapidly through Dugu Bo’s body.
Dugu Bo felt a jolt of energy and sat down cross-legged on the spot, mobilizing his spirit power to begin refining the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
