Wang Li's mind once again flashed back to the description of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng: the Crystal Blood Dragon, born at the eighth grade, capable of evolving over ten thousand years. 

This ginseng already possessed eighty thousand years of medicinal power, and with another ten thousand years of nurturing, it could become a ninth-grade Ginseng King. As a medicinal herb, this could be considered the pinnacle of its kind. 

If it continued to grow, it would no longer be just a medicinal herb but a one-hundred-thousand-year-old beast, harboring immense and terrifying vitality and possessing unfathomable power. 

The Bai family of the Min Clan had a specimen that was only five thousand years old, which was still lacking in some aspects. 

However, according to the original text, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Acacia Heartbroken Red shared complementary medicinal effects. Though it was somewhat strange that a single ginseng and a flower could enhance each other, their combined effects were truly astonishing. 

The Acacia Heartbroken Red resurrected Xiao Wu's sacrificed body and granted it ten thousand years of cultivation. The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng then restored Xiao Wu's body to human form, washing away the past and transforming her into a true human. 

Since the two herbs could complement each other, Wang Li began searching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a white flower growing on a rock. Before long, he spotted it: a palm-sized flower shaped like a peony. 

"I've found it! This is it!" 

Wang Li's spirits lifted as he carefully plucked the flower along with the stone it grew on and returned to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. 

Curious, Dugu Bo asked, 

"What have you brought back this time?" 

Smiling, Wang Li explained, 

"This is a flower nourished by the blood of true feelings, a flower of life and death. Its medicinal power can regenerate flesh and bones, a creation of nature's miracles that can reshape a person's very being. It told me this itself." 

"I want Sister Yan Yan to try plucking it. If she can pick it, it won't wither. Humans care for the flower, and in turn, the flower nurtures them." 

"Sister Yan Yan, channel your soul power and release a drop of heart's blood onto the flower…" 

Dugu Bo's expression turned peculiar. He had occupied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for so long without realizing the terrifying medicinal power of the herbs within. 

Although Wang Li did not recognize the herbs either, his domain allowed him to establish a bridge of communication with these immortal grasses, enabling him to understand their abilities and medicinal properties. 

At this moment, Dugu Yan looked at Wang Li, then at the flower. Without hesitation, she activated her soul power and opened her red lips to release a thread of fresh blood. 

The blood fell onto the flower. In an instant, a hazy red glow emanated from it. Bathed in the red light, Dugu Yan fell into a brief daze as memories of her time with Wang Li replayed in her mind, from the day they met until now. 

As the memories passed, Dugu Yan smiled softly, her beauty surpassing even the flower's. At that moment, the white flower turned completely red, and the radiant glow vanished. 

The now crimson flower detached itself from the stone and fell gently into Dugu Yan's hands. 

Wang Li smiled faintly, as though everything had gone just as he expected. He then said, 

"Sister Yan Yan, try sensing it now. See if the extreme heat and cold soul power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still affect you, or if it still makes your blood and energy surge uncontrollably." 

"Additionally, I believe that even Grandfather's uncontrollable and ferocious aura after his breakthrough will no longer harm you. This flower will protect you." 

As he finished speaking, Dugu Yan returned to her senses, holding the flower and carefully sensing its effects. Indeed, the extreme heat and cold energies that had previously tried to invade her body were now completely blocked. They could no longer approach her. 

The overwhelming external forces, the scorching and freezing soul power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even the oppressive presence of Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, were all obstructed by the Acacia Heartbroken Red. This was truly the treasure of the immortal realm. 

Not only did it protect against external forces, but even Dugu Yan's martial soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, which constantly emanated a cold and sinister aura within her dantian, now seemed purified. It felt cleaner and purer, as though it had been transformed. 

A warm sensation spread through her abdomen as Dugu Yan gazed at the flower in her hands and said in surprise, 

"It's true! This flower is protecting me!" 

After Dugu Yan confirmed this, Dugu Bo finally felt relieved. Looking around at his secluded cultivation ground, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, 

"This place really is a treasure trove! I had been using it merely to suppress my poison, what a waste! I truly squandered it." 

Wang Li nodded in agreement and added, 

"Yes, many of these herbs can even be considered immortal grasses. Their abilities and medicinal properties can completely transform a person's innate talent." 

"Unfortunately, we don't recognize most of them. I can only rely on the Blue Silver Domain to determine their abilities and properties. I have no idea how to combine them to maximize their effects." 

"Grandfather, we must keep this medicinal garden a secret. We also need to quietly investigate anyone with knowledge of rare flowers and grasses. We must learn how to utilize this garden to its full potential." 

Dugu Bo was someone who had lived for decades, and he knew very clearly what an earth-shattering opportunity it was to have one's innate talent altered. 

If the outside world discovered this, it wouldn't just be the seven major sects of the Soul Master world. Even the two great empires and the Spirit Hall—the holy land of soul masters—would likely be unable to resist coming to seize it. 

The mere thought of this made Dugu Bo's scalp tingle. However, as long as they kept this secret well-guarded, not only would they remain safe, but they could also reap tremendous benefits from it. 

In the Soul Master world, who had expertise in rare flowers and herbs? Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, and the image of a peculiar, androgynous person came to mind. 

Although that pervert was indeed eccentric, when it came to the study of rare plants and herbs, there were few on the entire continent who could match him. 

Still, their relationship was far from amicable. Thinking about this, Dugu Bo felt a headache coming on. 

"That's right. Keeping this secret is of the utmost importance. Xiao Li, Yan Yan, we must remain tight-lipped. As for how to best utilize this treasure trove, we'll figure it out later. If word gets out that we can alter innate talent, it would be enough to make us enemies of every Soul Master on the continent!" 

Wang Li and Dugu Yan both nodded firmly. Such a secret was something they absolutely couldn't afford to reveal. 

Wang Li then smiled and said, 

"Grandfather, stay here and stabilize your Rank 93 soul power. Over the next three months, Sister Yan Yan and I will return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. When it's time to head to the Star Luo Empire, you can come pick us up." 

Hearing this, Dugu Bo replied, 

"That works. I'll send you two out." 

But Wang Li shook his head, saying, 

"Grandfather, my current strength isn't weak. I can lead Sister Yan Yan out of the Sunset Forest myself. With your current aura, if you step into the forest, you might cause the soul beasts to go on a rampage." 

Dugu Bo's aura right now was, without exaggeration, overwhelmingly fierce. After being stuck at Rank 91 for ten years, his sudden breakthrough to Rank 93 meant an increase of two levels of soul power—a monumental leap at the Titled Douluo level. For him, this was akin to doubling his overall strength. 

However, he still hadn't mastered control over his soul power or managed to fully restrain his aura. Left with no choice, Dugu Bo said, 

"Very well, then. Be careful, you two."
