Chapter 171 - 63

Chapter 63: Spirit Evolution!Fu Shiyan calmly accepted Dugu Bo's oath of loyalty and his change in address to "Young Lord."This was originally a transaction; he helped Dugu Bo resolve the hidden dangers of his Spirit and evolve it, while the other party offered loyalty and the medicine garden. It was fair and reasonable.But what Dugu Bo was thinking went far beyond that.When Fu Shiyan broke through to become a Spirit Saint, he hadn't deliberately hidden his aura, and that spirit power fluctuation had been keenly captured by him.An eighteen-year-old Spirit Saint!A peerless talent unheard of in the Douluo Continent!This left Dugu Bo shocked, while also instilling a sense of awe and relief.And his purpose for bringing his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, today was naturally more than just to express gratitude.More importantly, he wanted his granddaughter to show her face before the Young Lord; if she could leave a good impression, it would surely be beneficial for the future.Fu Shiyan didn't notice this, or rather, he didn't care.Furthermore, Dugu Yan herself had no such intentions.She was currently in her prime at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and had just developed mutual feelings for Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so her mind was naturally not elsewhere.Afterward, Fu Shiyan chatted briefly with Dugu Bo and his granddaughter about their experiences at the academy and their insights into cultivation.Dugu Bo hesitated several times, as if wanting to say something but stopping.He actually really wanted to ask for a "soul shaping origin pill" for Dugu Yan, which could evolve a Spirit.His granddaughter's talent was good; if she could take it a step further, her future achievements would surely be even greater.But the words reached the tip of his tongue only to be swallowed back down.He had just pledged his allegiance and hadn't yet performed any service, yet he had already received immense favor from the Young Lord.To ask for such a precious pill at this time would be far too greedy.It wouldn't be too late to mention this matter after he had performed some meritorious service for the Young Lord in the future.He silently made up his mind.After talking for a while longer, Dugu Bo took the initiative to say:"Young Lord, this old man has a residence in Heaven Dou City.""If the Young Lord has any errands in the future, you can send someone to find me at any time."He then provided the detailed address.Fu Shiyan nodded and also informed him of the location of the small courtyard where he lived.As for whether Dugu Bo would discover Xiao Wu's identity, he wasn't worried.For one, even if Dugu Bo discovered it, nothing would go wrong with Fu Ze there.Secondly, he also planned to refine a breath concealing pill here this time, so Xiao Wu wouldn't have to worry about her identity being exposed in the future!"If there are important matters, I will also have someone inform you, Senior.""Good, good!"Dugu Bo responded repeatedly, his heart filled with joy.Being told where the Young Lord was staying meant that trust had been initially established.Then, he took Dugu Yan and bid his farewell, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon... Once the two had left, Fu Shiyan turned and returned to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.He took out a "soul shaping origin pill" and swallowed it without hesitation.Once the pill entered his stomach, its gentle yet vast medicinal power dissolved, surging toward the origin of his Spirit.Fu Shiyan sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to concentrate.Fu Ze, meanwhile, stood not far away to guard and protect Fu Shiyan's cultivation!With a thought from Fu Shiyan, the Blue Silver Tree Spirit automatically emerged, its deep blue sapling swaying in front of him.As the medicinal power saturated it, the sapling began to transform.The deep blue color slowly faded, replaced by a spreading, more profound azure-green.The silver veins also gradually turned into dazzling golden patterns.The aura of the entire sapling became incomparably majestic, ancient, and solemn.It was as if it were an eternal sacred tree that had existed since the creation of the world!A day and a night passed.The spirit power around Fu Shiyan's body resonated with the sapling before him.All the Immortal Herbs and spirit medicines in the valley swayed slightly toward the sapling, as if worshipping their monarch.Finally, as the first light of dawn appeared, the transformation was complete.A miraculous sapling, entirely azure in color with a trunk as straight as a heavenly pillar, branches and leaves spreading like a canopy, and golden patterns flowing like the Heavenly Dao, floated quietly.A boundless life aura and an indescribable ancient majesty spread out.The "Blue Silver Tree" was now a thing of the past.At this moment, it should be named—Azure Creation Tree!The word "Creation" both alluded to its potential to bestow life upon all things and enlighten spirit plants, while also faintly touching upon the mysteries of life's origin, noble yet full of Daoist charm.Fu Shiyan opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction at the miraculous Spirit before him.With a slight thought, the Azure Creation Tree swayed gently, and an azure-gold halo rippled outward.Wherever the halo reached, several spirit herbs sprouted and budded at a visible rate, bursting with vitality."Congratulations, Young Lord, on the completion of your Spirit."Fu Ze, who had been guarding the side the entire time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to offer his congratulations.Even with his cultivation, he could feel the terrifying life origin and the power of creation contained within that Spirit."Mhm."Fu Shiyan put away his Spirit, feeling a closer connection with it."Fu Ze, return to Heaven Dou City and bring Tang San here.""Yes."Fu Ze left upon receiving the order... Half a day later.Fu Ze returned to the valley with Tang San.The moment he stepped into this place, Tang San's pupils shrank, and he gasped!"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?! And... Yearning Heartbroken Red, strange fur heavenly chrysanthemum, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid..."His gaze swept rapidly over those flourishing Immortal Herbs, and he couldn't help but mutter many names, his face full of unbelievable shock!In his past life, the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record," had a "Poison Chapter" that recorded the world's treasures, many of which matched what was before his eyes!This place was actually one of the legendary Three Great Treasure Basins, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!What shocked him even more was that his master actually possessed such a precious place!Fu Shiyan stepped forward, rubbed his head, and smiled gently:"It seems you recognize these.""Indeed, this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a place where the world's spiritual energy gathers.""These Immortal Herbs are all rare treasures that are hard to find in this world."Tang San was just about to explain how he recognized these Immortal Herbs.Fu Shiyan paused and continued:"Your recent training in the basic control of your Spirit is nearing its end, and your foundation has been laid quite solidly.""I plan to refine these Immortal Herbs into pills to cleanse your marrow and meridians, consolidate your foundation, and pave the way for your future."Hearing this, Tang San's whole body shook violently!He abruptly looked up at Fu Shiyan, his eyes instantly turning red.How precious were Immortal Herbs? He knew better than anyone!Even in his past life, Immortal Herbs only existed in legends!And yet his master was willing to use so many Immortal Herbs just to consolidate the foundation of a disciple who had only recently joined?This unreserved love and kindness, as vast as the mountains and seas, weighed heavily on his heart, making it almost hard for him to breathe."Master..."His voice choked and trembled as he fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed three times!Tears could no longer be held back and rolled down."Immortal Herbs are so precious... How could I, your disciple, be worthy... of receiving such... profound kindness from Master..."He sobbed uncontrollably, his forehead pressed against the ground, his heart filled with overwhelming emotion and a resolve to repay this debt even with his life.Fu Shiyan bent down to help him up and wiped away his tears, his tone gentle yet firm:"Since I have taken you as my disciple, I shall naturally give my all to pave the way for you.""Do not act in such a sentimental manner."Tang San nodded vigorously, engraving this immense kindness deep into his soul, knowing he could only repay it with his entire life.Just then, a trace of doubt quietly surfaced.In previous simulations, his master didn't seem to have shown any "Alchemy" skills; the Immortal Herbs were all given to be consumed directly.Why was reality different?
