Chapter 100 A Person's Name Matches Their Character
Huo Yutong then explained in detail the characteristics of the Lan sisters' martial souls, their current cultivation levels, and the effects of their fusion technique.
Poison Immortal listened intently, and after a moment's thought, gave detailed instructions: "Hair Martial Souls emphasize control and extension, and can be both hard and soft... If you have the opportunity, you can have them come to the Snow Demon Sect during your second year vacation at Shrek Academy."
At that time, I can send a Soul Douluo whose martial soul also has hair to personally guide their cultivation. Xiao Tong, if you have time to come to the Snow Demon Sect, I will also go there to guide you.”
"Thank you so much, teacher!" Huo Yutong said happily.
Meanwhile, the "tea" that Du Bu Si had ordered was finally brewed by Lang Ya himself. Du Bu Si practiced poison arts, so he naturally needed to take various poisons, which severely damaged his sense of taste. At this moment, Lang Ya held the "tea" with a solemn expression.
The disciples of the Body Sect all know that their sect leader is "as his name suggests"—the one who can't die from poison.
Poison Undying added, "This tea is called 'Chaos Tea of a Hundred Flavors of Heaven and Earth,' and it was created by me."
The tea base is made with the rich and mellow flavor of aged Pu'er tea, supplemented with old wolfberry leaves that have been sun-dried for three days, and three mace of bitter melon slices, aiming to achieve its extremely bitter yet sweet aftertaste.
Then sprinkle a pinch of deep-sea salt to set the flavor, pour half a spoonful of light soy sauce to enhance the freshness, and add three star anise and a small piece of cinnamon to increase the rich and unique aroma.
Add a little chicken bouillon to make the soup thick; add a drop of aged vinegar to cut through the greasiness; and grind in a little Sichuan peppercorn powder to give your lips and teeth a slightly numbing sensation, like an electric current.
Finally, a freshly preserved plum (prepared nine times) must be added to enhance the sweet and sour flavors, and a spicy strip (like a "chuanyun" brand) should be hung diagonally on the side of the cup to draw out the aroma.
All the above ingredients should not be boiled in water, but rather steeped in a rich broth simmered over a low flame. After steeping, do not drink immediately; seal and refrigerate overnight in an ice cellar to allow the flavors to meld and blend, thus creating this tea.
This tea, with just one sip, allows one to savor all the flavors of life—salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, numbing, umami, fragrant, astringent… a myriad of tastes, striking directly at the soul, possessing miraculous effects on tempering one's will and comprehending the all-encompassing nature of one's 'true self'! Elder Huo, Xiao Tong, would you be interested in trying it?"
These words left Bi Ji, Huo Yutong, and several other guests within Yutong's spiritual sea speechless. They all declined Poison Undying's offer.
Electrox: This tea would knock out any undead creature that takes a sip.
Considering that Zi Ji and Huo Yutong both needed rest, they stayed overnight at the Snow Demon Sect.
After leaving the Snow Demon Sect, they met up with Di Tian and Di Qiu, who were waiting for them in the valley. Bi Ji and Zi Ji briefly reported the results.
When Biji and her two companions visited the Snow Demon Sect again, Di Qiu grew impatient once more. Di Tian decided to tell Di Qiu another story, but upon hearing this, Di Qiu quickly said, "Daddy, I'm free now, I want to sleep." He then lay down and fell asleep.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian said, "Supervision... is merely a temporary measure. I will one day personally uncover the secrets behind the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
One day, Di Tian will be beaten to death by poison.
Then Di Tian led everyone back to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, retracted his dragon wings, and landed smoothly.
Huo Yutong immediately activated the Undead Demiplane, and Xie Lin and Xie Ying floated out.
Di Tian briefly explained the alliance with the Demon Forest to the Demon King and other beasts who came to greet him, and informed them that the Demon Forest and Demon Shadow would be permanently stationed in Xingdou from now on.
Immediately afterwards, Xiong Jun led several power-type soul beasts into the undead demiplane to begin moving the massive amount of resources within.
According to the plan, some resources were categorized and preserved for future trade with human forces; at the same time, the abundant minerals and rare medicinal herbs accumulated over the years in the Star Dou Great Forest were also moved into the demiplane to replenish and enrich the reserves.
……
During their holiday in Shrek City, Bei Bei and Tang Ya stayed together in the Tang Clan.
Because the Spirit Pagoda was right across the street, Tang Ya often went to visit. Over time, she became acquainted with Old Man Wan Shu, who often sat in a rattan chair guarding the gate under the largest ancient tree outside the pagoda.
That day, Tang Ya brought a bag of fine Qingxin tea to the tree.
The dense shade casts a cool glow, and the trees seem to be leisurely reclining on rocking chairs, breathing in harmony with the surrounding plants.
"Greetings, Grandpa Wan Shu!" Tang Ya bowed respectfully, offering tea with both hands. "I've heard you are a plant-type Soul Saint, and my own martial soul is also plant-type. I have some questions about cultivation; could you please offer some guidance?"
Wan Shu slowly opened his eyes on the rattan chair. He chuckled and took the tea leaves: "Little girl, you're very thoughtful. Sit down and let's talk."
Tang Ya obediently sat down on the stone bench next to the tree roots.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment she opened her mouth, a wisp of the Demon King, far away in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, had already sent down to this place.
Although he connected the trees of the Tang Clan mainly for monitoring purposes, this little girl really needs to change her habit of talking to the plants when she is alone—after all, he can really "hear" them.
"Release your martial spirit and let this old man experience it," Wan Shu said slowly.
Tang Ya did as instructed, and the Blue Silver Grass spread out from her palm, its leaves unfurling and exuding a gentle life force.
A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in Wan Shu's eyes.
This is no ordinary Blue Silver Grass; it contains an extremely pure, almost kingly, primordial aura, but it seems to be sealed or restricted by some power and has not been fully awakened.
"Your martial spirit is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass," Wan Shu said. "It possesses the potential to become a 'King,' but it has been dormant for a long time."
"King?" Tang Ya's eyes widened; it was the first time she had ever heard such a term.
"Not bad." Wan Shu stretched out his withered finger, pointed it in the air, and a faint green light merged into Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass.
Instantly, the blue silver grass seemed to be injected with vitality, and the veins on its leaves seemed to become clearer.
"Plant-type martial souls, especially vine-type ones, are powerful not because of their sharpness, but because of their ability to 'entwine,' 'absorb,' and 'regenerate.' You are too focused on the intensity of your control, but you have neglected to 'communicate' with them."
"communicate?"
"Close your eyes," Wan Shu instructed, "feel your martial spirit with your heart. It is not a tool, but an extension of your life, the tendrils that root you in this world."
Feel its breath, its longing, the world it perceives.
Tang Ya closed her eyes as instructed. Guided by the strange energy of the myriad trees, she seemed to truly "hear" the subtle, vibrant pulse emanating from the blue silver grass in her hand, and could even vaguely sense the flow of water and nutrients in the soil beneath her feet.
This is an unprecedented experience.
"The cultivation of plant-type soul masters focuses on comprehending life itself."
Your path lies not in imitating power-attack type Soul Masters, but in how to unleash the full potential of this 'life' power—the ultimate restraint, the ultimate recovery, and even… the ultimate absorption.
"Devour?" Tang Ya's heart skipped a beat. This word made her feel uneasy, yet she also vaguely felt a strange connection with her own martial soul.
"Follow the nature of your martial spirit in your cultivation. When you can truly communicate with your 'King,' the seal will break and the path ahead will appear."
After saying that, Wan Shu leaned back in his chair, reverting to his lazy, sunbathing old man demeanor, as if everything he had just said was merely casual advice.
Tang Ya stood there, stunned, savoring the wondrous sensation she had just experienced and Wan Shu's words. She solemnly bowed to Wan Shu again, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandpa Wan Shu!"
Watching Tang Ya's departing figure, seemingly enlightened, a smile curved the corners of Wan Shu's lips as he sat in the rocking chair.
