บท 91: Chapter 91: Almost Awakened
Gu Yi's resolute attitude left the Blue Silver King somewhat helpless. If their strength were comparable, it would have forcibly reclaimed the spirit bone.
"I only promised to help you find the Blue Silver Empress the rest is not for you to covet."
Had Lin Qing been able to absorb the Blue Silver King's spirit ring, Gu Yi would have dealt with it straightforwardly, without the hassle, by eliminating it outright.
"Take the Blue Silver Empress inside; I'll lead you to a place where your cultivation can accelerate."
Gu Yi once again opened the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, allowing the Blue Silver King to enter. They then spent a few more days returning to the Sunset Forest, arriving outside a poisonous barrier.
Gu Yi took out one of Dugu Bo's snake scales, a necessary gesture to notify the owner when entering his medicinal garden.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the trio, a green figure emerged from within.
"Why are you here again, boy? Have you run out of herbs already?"
Dugu Bo was pleased to see Gu Yi, though the presence of the two girls by his side dampened his mood.
"Old Poison, this time I want to plant something here."
Dugu Bo, hearing it was business, set aside his displeasure. He had always wanted Gu Yi and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, to be together, although he knew that someone as outstanding as Gu Yi wouldn't have just one woman. He simply hoped Dugu Yan could get what she wanted.
"Follow me inside." Dugu Bo led them into the toxic barrier.
"There are so many rare and exotic plants here."
As a spirit master with a plant martial spirit, Lin Qing was highly attuned to the aura of plants. The abundance of such rich flora was a rare sight. If she could cultivate here, her cultivation would advance rapidly.
"What exactly do you want to plant here? Let me remind you, ordinary plants would struggle to survive in this environment." Dugu Bo gave a word of caution.
"Don't worry; in terms of vitality, even you can't compare to it."
Gu Yi took out the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, releasing the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Empress.
"A spirit beast!"
Dugu Bo immediately became wary, sensing the formidable aura of the beast. If it had been before meeting Gu Yi, he might not have been able to defeat it. Even now, he had to be cautious.
"Relax, I only brought it here to find a safe place."
Gu Yi smiled at Dugu Bo and then addressed the Blue Silver King, "Find a place to root but remember not to harm any of the plants here. Otherwise, both you and your empress will pay the price."
Gu Yi's warning was merely a formality; the Blue Silver King didn't possess the capability to harm the environment.
"Th... thank you, sir!"
The Blue Silver King instinctively extended its roots. It had never encountered a place like this, where external energy naturally flowed into its body, rapidly advancing its cultivation. It also planted the Blue Silver Empress.
The Blue Silver Empress swayed its branches in excitement, finding the environment very comfortable.
"Qing'er, you'll cultivate here from now on."
Gu Yi had already planned this for Lin Qing; cultivating near the Blue Silver Emperor would greatly benefit her Blue Silver Grass.
Lin Qing understood this was her master's way of caring for her, finding a holy place for her cultivation.
"Teacher, I also want to cultivate here."
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated before speaking. The energy in this place was incredibly rich, and greatly beneficial for improving her cultivation. Naturally, she wanted to stay here.
"This place isn't suitable for you. Don't worry, I have other plans for you."
Gu Yi did not agree to Zhu Zhuqing's request. Not everyone was suited for this environment; Zhu Zhuqing required a different kind of setting.
"I need to stay here for a few days, sorry for the intrusion." Gu Yi also wanted to take this time to absorb the Blue Silver Empress's spirit bone, which would greatly enhance his strength.
"Next time you come, if you don't bring Yan Yan along, don't bother coming." Dugu Bo, throwing a childish tantrum, did not give him a warm welcome.
Gu Yi found this endearing and didn't mind it. Dugu Bo returned to his small house to continue his cultivation, striving to recover the time lost to his snake venom. He didn't want to remain the weakest of the Titled Douluos.
Gu Yi took out the Blue Silver Empress's right leg bone, ready to absorb it.
Nearby, the Blue Silver King, having taken root, sensed the Blue Silver Empress's aura and saw Gu Yi preparing to absorb the leg bone. A trace of malicious intent arose in its heart. If it could attack Gu Yi by surprise while he was absorbing the spirit bone, it might reclaim its empress's spirit bone, hastening the Blue Silver Empress's return.
But at that moment, Gu Yi suddenly looked up at it. That single glance eradicated any ill intent, and it quickly turned away. Those eyes seemed to pierce through everything, harboring the world's deepest malice.
What had this human experienced to have such profound eyes? Even it, having lived for countless years, couldn't compare.
Satisfied that the Blue Silver King did not act on its thoughts, Gu Yi lowered his head and began absorbing the Blue Silver Empress's right leg bone. The surrounding energy, attracted by the spirit bone, flowed into Gu Yi's right leg. As a spirit beast known for its immense vitality, the Blue Silver Empress's spirit bone was both rich and gentle in its life force.
The blue-golden energy permeated his meridians. Over the years, Gu Yi's meridians had become far stronger and more robust than those of any other Titled Douluos. Yet even his sturdy meridians were enhanced by the blue-golden energy, becoming even more wider and tougher, increasing his connection with the world.
Gu Yi even felt a stirring of another awakening within his martial spirit. If it could awaken again, it might reach the level of a divine martial spirit. Despite its strength, his martial spirit had yet to develop its own domain.
Just when Gu Yi thought his martial spirit would awaken, the blue-golden energy waned. It seems that the spirit bone alone couldn't trigger another awakening. However, he continued to bask in the life force's serenity, feeling the oppressive force of the Evil God Bead dissipate, leaving him as pure and serene as an unborn child.
This tranquil state didn't last long before Gu Yi awoke, feeling refreshed and revitalized. He glanced at the silently cultivating Blue Silver King, pleased with its restraint. After he had fused with the Evil God Bead, no one could hide their malicious thoughts from him.
