Chapter 51: looking-through-autumn-water dew
Dugu Bo is a dignified Titled Douluo, and the spirit power within his body is extremely vast.
As a Heaven And Earth Treasure, although the Earth Dragon Golden Melon can be considered a top-tier Immortal Herb, it is only comparable to a Spirit Beast of several tens of thousands of years.
That sweeping earth-attribute energy was easily suppressed by Dugu Bo.
Then Dugu Bo began to methodically refine this earth-attribute energy.
The refined energy merged into his internal organs and limbs, making Dugu Bo’s aging body feel as if it had regained its youthful vitality.
Every cell in his body was cheering at this moment, greedily absorbing the energy of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, bursting with vigorous vitality.
Dugu Bo was also very pleasantly surprised; originally, he was old, and his potential had been getting lower and lower.
But after absorbing the energy of this Immortal Herb, a new surge of vitality bloomed within his body once again. This was equivalent to a rejuvenation, as his body restored itself toward its Peak state.
Not just his body, but even his spirit power began to grow at a slow but steady pace after absorbing this energy.
How could Dugu Bo not be happy!
Everything was going well, but just at this moment.
Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit suddenly became restless, showing an almost greedy craving for the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
Without receiving Dugu Bo’s command, the Jade Phosphor Serpent opened its bloody maw and gulped down the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
After Dugu Bo discovered this, he didn’t stop it. Instead, he thought to himself with some anticipation:
’I wonder if my Jade Phosphor Serpent still has a chance to evolve into a Jade Phosphorus Dragon Emperor!’
After a while, Dugu Bo keenly perceived that his Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit began to show signs of evolution after absorbing the energy of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
Dugu Bo’s Spirits were immediately lifted, and he focused even more on observing his Spirit.
But after only a moment, Dugu Bo frowned because he found that his Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit showed no sign at all of transforming into a dragon.
Although it was evolving, it continued to evolve in the direction of a serpent.
After some deep thought, Dugu Bo quickly reached a conclusion.
’On the day I achieved a Breakthrough to Titled Douluo, my Jade Phosphor Snake Spirit’s Origin and growth path were completely fixed.’
’This Earth Dragon Golden Melon indeed contains amazing medicinal power, but unfortunately, it is not enough to force my already fixed Spirit Origin and growth path in another direction.’
’After my Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit devoured the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, although signs of evolution appeared, it was evolving toward the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Ancestor.’
’It seems it can only be this way; I have completely taken shape in this life and can only continue on this path of Jade Phosphor Snake, Jade Phosphor Serpent, and Jade Phosphorus Serpent Ancestor.’
’Although I cannot transform into a dragon, if my Spirit continues to evolve, it will be enough to make me a standout among the Titled Douluo.’
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo no longer hoped for dragon transformation and began to wholeheartedly absorb the energy of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to accelerate his Spirit’s evolution and the growth of his spirit power.
Dugu Bo’s mind was quite broad-minded; after discovering that his Spirit could not transform into a dragon, he didn’t take long to accept the reality.
Meanwhile, in the outside world!
Dugu Bo’s eyes were closed, his brow furrowing and relaxing from time to time, all of which were seen by Dugu Yan and Lu Chen.
Dugu Yan asked with some concern:
"Grandpa Lan Chen, what’s going on with my grandpa? Is it difficult to absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon? Why is he still frowning?"
Lu Chen sensed Dugu Bo’s aura:
"It’s fine, don’t worry. Big Brother Dugu’s aura is steadily rising, which indicates that the absorption of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is going very smoothly."
"As for the frowning, it might be because absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon didn’t meet Big Brother Dugu’s expectations."
"After all, Big Brother Dugu is already a Titled Douluo. An Earth Dragon Golden Melon, even if it is an Immortal Herb, is not enough to make Big Brother Dugu undergo a complete transformation from the inside out like when you ate the Dragon Origin Fruit."
"You are only a Spirit Elder. After absorbing the Dragon Origin Fruit, you can increase your spirit power by ten levels. As for Big Brother Dugu, being able to increase his spirit power by one level after absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is already very impressive."
Dugu Yan nodded as if she suddenly understood.
After confirming that there was no problem with Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan focused her attention on Lu Chen and said with a sly smile:
"Grandpa Lan Chen, I heard from Grandpa that your current appearance is fake, a disguise you made to avoid enemies."
"There are no outsiders here now, so isn’t it too tiring to keep yourself disguised? Why not take it off?"
Last time Lu Chen was soaking naked in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Yan had taken a quick glance. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, well-proportioned muscles, and skin as delicate as jade had made her heart race a little.
Later, Dugu Yan had some suspicions that Lu Chen’s body was definitely not that of a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Perhaps the real Lu Chen was even younger than he appeared now.
This piqued Dugu Yan’s interest, and she really wanted to know Lu Chen’s true face under the disguise.
At this time, Lu Chen had no intention of removing his disguise, so he laughed it off and quickly changed the subject:
"Yan Yan, my appearance is old and ugly. To avoid scaring you, it’s better to maintain the status quo."
"Keep an eye on things here. Big Brother Dugu’s absorption of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is now on the right track; there’s no need for both of us to stay by his side."
"Before we set out to find a Spirit Beast, I will also try to absorb another Immortal Herb to strengthen my foundation and strive to absorb a spirit ring of an even higher age for my Seventh Spirit Ring."
After saying this, Lu Chen left without looking back.
Dugu Yan watched Lu Chen’s departing back, her eyes full of curiosity.
The more Lu Chen wanted to hide, the more curious Dugu Yan became.
Dugu Yan bit her lip and thought to herself:
’The more you don’t let me see, the more I want to see! Lan Chen said he is old and ugly, but I don’t believe it. One day, I will see your true face under the disguise!’
On the other side, Lu Chen quickly found his target: a small green grass with a few drops of crystal-clear dew hanging from it.
looking-through-autumn-water dew!
This was an Immortal Herb that could increase mental force!
It had been half a month since Lu Chen ate the two Immortal Herbs, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and fiery apricot delicate flower, and his body had adapted well enough by now.
He would soon go to hunt the Blue Silver King to serve as his Seventh Spirit Ring.
It was also time to consume this looking-through-autumn-water dew, which could enhance mental force.
Lu Chen nimbly picked the looking-through-autumn-water dew, held it above his head, and brought it to his mouth.
Tilting the grass slightly, the few drops of dew on it trickled into his mouth.
Having lost those few drops of dew, the small grass in Lu Chen’s hand quickly withered, losing all its vitality.
The essence of the looking-through-autumn-water dew was these few drops of dew.
Lu Chen’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. After swallowing those few drops of dew, he immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began to refine the energy of the dew.
In an instant, a refreshing, cool aura rose from his abdominal cavity all the way up and poured into his brain.
This gave Lu Chen a mental boost. Feeling the cool sensation in his brain, his mental force began to grow rapidly.
