Chapter 31: Double Metamorphosis

Yu Tianyun, having successfully harvested the immortal herbs he needed and some top-grade medicinal herbs second only to immortal herbs, carefully plucked the Gazing-Autumn-Water Dew and slowly raised it before him.

He tilted it slightly, and several drops of crystal-clear dew flowed into his mouth.

At the moment those few drops of dew completely left the leaf, the entire Gazing-Autumn-Water Dew plant instantly lost vitality and withered rapidly in Yu Tianyun's hand.

A gentle breeze swept by, and in the blink of an eye it turned into fine dust, drifting away from between his fingers.

Yu Tianyun without the slightest hesitation walked straight to the Ice and Fire Two Hundred Million Eye, removed his clothing and the Storage Soul Conduit, and with a Plop jumped into the spring; under the unique ice-fire energy stimulation of the Fire Yin-Yang Eye, he began to cultivate quietly.

Not long after, Yu Tianyun clearly felt a refreshing coolness surge in his mind, as if in the scorching summer he had suddenly jumped into a cool, refreshing spring, with chilled beer and cola beside him, making his body and mind feel relaxed.

However, in the next instant, a strange change occurred silently.

Ice-fire energy began to quietly gather toward his eyes, while the residual medicinal potency of the Eight-Corner Mystic Ice Grass and Blazing Fire Apricot Herb within his body, as if drawn, continuously flowed toward his eyes, jointly tempering them.

That power alternated between blazing hot like fire and icy cold like frost, constantly striking and merging, making his eyes seem to undergo a rebirth baptism.

Under this power's effect, Yu Tianyun's tightly closed eyes gradually emitted a strange light through his eyelids, as if containing endless mysteries and power.

Originally his consciousness should have been in darkness, but now he seemed to have opened the mind's eye psychic ability; even with his eyes closed, he could clearly see everything around him—this was the manifestation of his spirit power rapidly increasing.

As time passed, what he saw became increasingly clear, until he could see through objects' surfaces to perceive their inner essence; only then did this improvement slow—this is precisely the ability of Gazing-Autumn-Water Dew to see through all things and pierce all falsehoods.

Yu Tianyun felt his eyes were like the fiery golden eyes of the Monkey King from myth! Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye it was three hours; the first to awaken was Duguyan, who had absorbed the Lovesickness Red.

She opened her eyes, showed a hint of excitement, then glanced around, wanting to find Yu Tianyun to share her joy.

Soon she discovered that Yu Tianyun, just emerged from the Ice and Fire Two Hundred Million Eye, was putting on his clothes.

Yu Tianyun had been awake all along; seeing Duguyan wake up and search for him everywhere, he came out of the spring.

At this moment, Yu Tianyun, with his eyes open, did not realize he still had the "Fiery Golden Eyes" effect activated; one eye turned ice-blue, as cold as icy soul, while the other turned vermilion, as hot as flames.

He dressed, turned his head to look at Duguyan, and this look directly left him stunned.

First, through his clothing he saw her flawless, well-proportioned jade-like body; then her jade-white skin gradually grew pale, revealing her bones and muscles, and even her meridian patterns slowly appeared in his vision.

Yu Tianyun hurriedly circulated his soul power to restrain this ice-fire double-pupil ability, and his eyes gradually returned to their original appearance, a subdued dark brown.

"Tianyun, just now your eyes turned one blue and one red; I feel as if my whole body has been seen through by you." Duguyan asked doubtfully with a hint of curiosity. "Yanyan, I have refined another immortal herb; this herb only boosts spirit power and will not conflict with the two body-refining immortal herbs I previously absorbed." Yu Tianyun gently explained to Duguyan, paused, then smiled: "Yanyan, you can sense my spirit fluctuations, showing your spirit power has also greatly increased; it seems your harvest this time is not small!"

"Yes! The Lovesickness Red gave my body an all-around improvement; my soul power has broken through to level forty, and I feel there is still a large amount of residual energy within me." Duguyan smiled, looking at Yu Tianyun, her voice full of joy.

"Yanyan, summon your martial soul to take a look; perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise!" Yu Tianyun suggested, feeling that as the king of immortal herbs, the Lovesickness Red should not be this simple.

"Mm!" Duguyan nodded slightly, her soul power surging as she prepared to release her martial soul.

"Roar!" A sonorous dragon cry issued from Duguyan's mouth; she froze for a moment, then was filled with intense joy.

Continuing to release her martial soul, emerald-like green light burst forth from within her body, and her delicate frame suddenly grew a segment.

Her already graceful figure became even more alluring, curves exquisite; her slender waist could be grasped in one hand yet contained astonishing power, her long straight legs were round and strong, her full, proud chest strained her clothing, seeming about to burst forth, full of infinite temptation, making Yu Tianyun hardly able to suppress his lustful fire.

The bare skin on her body was covered with fine scales, each dragon scale flashing with a cold luster, like a meticulously carved artwork.

Her hands turned into dragon claws, extremely sharp; her back bulged, actually growing a pair of huge dragon wings, lightly flapping to stir up gusts of wind; from her round, perky buttocks protruded a slender, agile tail.

Her face also changed: a pair of curved dragon horns grew on her forehead, her pupils became vertical slits, icy yet enchanting; her whole person exuded a bewitching, otherworldly aura.

At some point, Dugubo, who had been crouched in the corner, was also drawn by Duguyan's change; shocked, he was speechless for a moment, then his face broke into a wild grin.

He was happier than when his own martial soul evolved.

After regaining his senses, Dugubo immediately exclaimed in delight: "Yanyan, is this your martial soul evolving into a dragon?"

At the same time, Yu Tianyun also exclaimed in amazement: "Yanyan, your martial soul has evolved incredibly!" He had guessed Duguyan's martial soul might evolve, but never expected it to become a dragon, and even directly undergo complete dragon transformation.

Meanwhile, he had absorbed two immortal herbs and endured inhuman torment before achieving complete dragon transformation; this comparison made Yu Tianyun somewhat doubtful whether the two Dragon Kings were dissatisfied with his philandering behavior.

Duguyan ignored Dugubo, gazing affectionately at Yu Tianyun, and said: "My martial soul has evolved into an Azure Phosphorus Poison Dragon; I feel my abilities in all aspects have increased several-fold! By the way, here's this!"

At this moment, Duguyan opened her small mouth and spat out a cyan-green elixir pellet floating on her palm: "This is the elixir pellet condensed after my martial soul recently evolved into the Azure Phosphorus Poison Dragon; it gathers all the toxins in my body, so I should now have no toxins left! I will no longer be affected by deadly poison! Its presence can also enhance my control over the poison attribute."
