After swallowing the jerky, Nine-Section Emerald's belly bulged, and the once lively little snake became listless.
Finally, it fell asleep directly in Quan Yi's hand.
After all, it was dragon meat of the 90,000-year level, and the energy contained within was not something Nine-Section Emerald could easily digest.
Quan Yi placed the sleeping Nine-Section Emerald beneath the Fragrant绮罗仙品, which emitted a pink glow.
According to Quan Yi's understanding, this was an immortal herb that could prevent poison. Within the range of its light罩, it could provide immunity to all toxins. At the same time, it had a certain mitigating effect on the scouring of the extremely hot and extremely cold heaven and earth energy around the spring.
After doing all this, Quan Yi glanced at the various rare and exotic plants in the herb garden.
Compared to the first time, Quan Yi had a better understanding of these plants, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he was even more aware of the value of this treasure land.
The medicinal effects of even the most ordinary herbs here could be compared to ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials.
Although Quan Yi was envious, he was helpless because he was not proficient in pharmacology. The books and information he had collected over the years could only help him understand a small portion of the knowledge.
Over the years, Quan Yi had intentionally sought out relevant talents, but he had gained very little.
Most of the famous doctors on the continent were soul masters with healing abilities. There might be people who specialize in pharmacology, but their reputation was not as great as soul masters.
This made his talent search encounter difficulties.
However, now, Quan Yi discovered that Dugu Bo had the potential to become a researcher.
As the saying goes, poison and medicine are of the same family. Medical skills and poison skills share the same origin and require an understanding of various factors such as the human body and medicinal materials.
Even, at certain times, poison skills would be used to treat patients.
The reverse was also true.
It was just that Dugu Bo lacked research methods and experience, which made him guard a treasure mountain without being able to enter.
Quan Yi had made ample preparations for this trip. His ultimate goal was not just this territory; Dugu Bo was also one of his targets.
Recalling the time four years ago when Dugu Bo coerced him into joining his family, the memories of that time would occasionally appear in Quan Yi's mind.
Quan Yi was not petty. He only requested that what he had received be returned in full.
To this end, he had made ample preparations when he came here.
Forcing the poison into the soul bone was just a trigger.
He still had some backup plans and plenty of time to slowly 'communicate' with Dugu Bo.
Quan Yi glanced at the herb garden, then took off all the clothes he was wearing and put them into the Blazing Sun Heart.
The naked Quan Yi only wore the Blazing Sun Gauntlets on his hands.
Without lingering, he quickly stepped forward and leaped into the red spring water.
"Plop!"
Quan Yi drew a graceful arc in the air and plunged deep beneath the surface of the spring with hardly a splash.
Entering the red pool, the extreme fire-attribute heaven and earth energy frantically poured into Quan Yi's body.
The spring water isolated the intrusion of cold air, and a warm current that penetrated the heart and lungs traveled throughout Quan Yi's body.
The majestic and pure energy quickly filled Quan Yi's meridians.
Since Quan Yi's soul was not in the stage of evolution this time, all of this energy filled Quan Yi's meridians.
In order to absorb the energy, Quan Yi immediately circulated his soul power and began to meditate and cultivate.
Therefore, Quan Yi needed less time to adapt and digest than others.
With this spring water, Quan Yi would be able to gain an absolute advantage in the tug-of-war with Dugu Bo.
Now, Quan Yi's cultivation speed was three times faster than when he was cultivating in the Flame Vein.
This speed was still Quan Yi's cultivation speed without opening the Scarlet Dragon Horn.
Then, what would happen if he opened the Scarlet Dragon Horn?
Quan Yi opened his eyes and quickly swam towards the bottom of the spring.
Quan Yi, who had been swimming for many years, shot into the bottom in an extremely effortless posture.
This was to guard against Dugu Bo. With the strength of a Titled Douluo, he could still stay briefly on the surface of the spring.
For safety's sake, he had to go deeper.
After swimming to a depth of about a hundred meters, Quan Yi's body reached its limit.
Quan Yi looked down and only felt that the spring water was unfathomable.
After swimming to about a hundred meters, Quan Yi felt the powerful water pressure squeezing his body in all directions.
However, this level of water pressure could not have too much impact on Quan Yi's body.
Here, the physical limit that Quan Yi felt was actually the meridian limit.
The deeper he went, the more violent and richer the energy of the spring water became.
If he continued to go deeper, Quan Yi's absorption speed would not be able to keep up with the speed at which energy poured in. In the end, his meridians would be burst open.
"Let's cultivate here."
Quan Yi focused his consciousness on his head. The next moment, with the input of Quan Yi's soul power, two red bumps bulged on his forehead.
Then, the two bumps quickly extended and turned into two sharp horns.
The vermilion bumps appeared somewhat transparent in the red spring water.
However, when Quan Yi wanted to feel the cultivation speed brought by the Scarlet Dragon Horn, his Scarlet Dragon Horn actually emitted a dazzling white light.
The next moment, without Quan Yi urging the Scarlet Dragon Horn's suction, it actually consciously activated the maximum suction.
The majestic energy at the bottom of the spring frantically poured into the Scarlet Dragon Horn. Under the terrifying suction of the Scarlet Dragon Horn, Quan Yi's body began to fail to absorb energy.
The sudden action of the Scarlet Dragon Horn made Quan Yi feel puzzled.
Quan Yi focused his attention on the Scarlet Dragon Horn, wanting to find out the reason for the mutation.
The blazing white Scarlet Dragon Horn absorbed a huge amount of extremely hot energy in a very short time.
This caused the temperature of the Scarlet Dragon Horn to rise at an extremely fast rate.
If Quan Yi did not have the fire immunity attribute, the temperature of the Scarlet Dragon Horn would directly incinerate Quan Yi.
Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Horn had the function of storing fire element energy.
In order to deal with Dugu Bo, Quan Yi had stored a huge amount of energy in half a year of hard cultivation.
However, the Scarlet Dragon Horn's storage capacity had a limit.
According to Quan Yi's calculations, the Scarlet Dragon Horn could roughly store enough energy to release Scarlet Dragon Descent twice.
The Scarlet Dragon Descent here refers to the complete body, the Scarlet Dragon Descent that truly reaches the Titled Douluo level.
The complete body of the Scarlet Dragon is as tall as a hundred meters, and its strength is no different from a real Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon.
The Scarlet Dragon Descent that Quan Yi used in the Star Dou Great Forest before was not the true power of this soul skill.
Quan Yi had accumulated enough energy to cast the Scarlet Dragon complete body once in half a year of cultivation.
However, now, the energy absorbed by the Scarlet Dragon Horn in a short time was already close to the limit.
Quan Yi did not know what would happen if he exceeded this limit.
Quan Yi immediately urged his mental power, wanting to retract the Scarlet Dragon Horn into his body, but his attempt failed.
He immediately circulated his soul power, absorbing the energy accumulated by the Scarlet Dragon Horn into his body and quickly digesting it.
While absorbing, Quan Yi quickly swam upwards.
However, the speed at which Quan Yi's body digested energy could not keep up with the suction of the Scarlet Dragon Horn.
By the time he swam halfway, the Scarlet Dragon Horn had reached its limit.
