Of course, the automatically operating Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass can also explode if the energy it accumulates exceeds the controllable range.
After all, its structure is composed of pure energy, and it cannot maintain its structure for a long time relying solely on the instinct of life.
However, if the soul skill is planted in a place with a lower ice-attribute energy density, the skill's duration may be maintained for a long time.
Moreover, compared to before, Quan Yi's control method when using this soul skill no longer tends towards self-destruction; he can also use plant control methods, like he did just now, to unleash energy attacks.
Today's test allowed Quan Yi to witness the extreme plasticity of the wood attribute.
This point is even more significant than completing a self-created soul skill.
In a great mood, Quan Yi immediately repaired the injuries of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and left a wisp of Ultimate Wood to enhance its foundation.
After taking care of these two main immortal herbs, Quan Yi walked to an open space in the medicine garden.
This is where Huo Wu picked the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower back then.
Only a leveled open space remained, but Quan Yi could feel a faint vitality.
Through the Red Dragon Eyes' perspective, he could also lock onto the seeds hidden underground.
From the energy characteristics inside the seeds, it could be basically determined that these were likely the seeds left behind by the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Quan Yi lightly touched the ground, and the energy of Ultimate Wood seeped in, communicating with this seed.
Although it lacked spirituality, he could still feel that this seed was silently accumulating energy; given time, its powerful vitality would surely break through the soil and stand tall on the earth.
This seed couldn't withstand the Ultimate Wood yet, so Quan Yi could only transform it into absorbable vitality and inject it into the seed to ensure its healthy growth.
After dealing with the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Quan Yi came to the location of the Wonder茸 Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
The straight branch that Quan Yi had left after eating it back then still remained in the medicine garden.
Its vitality was extremely tenacious; new roots had already begun to sprout from the part where the branch was inserted.
Its life had not completely ended.
"This one looks like it can withstand a small portion of Ultimate Wood."
A large portion of the herbs here had been used by Dugu Bo for testing, more or less.
Basically, anything that could be used for experimentation had already been tested by Dugu Bo; to maintain a certain degree of completeness, the scarcity of experimental materials was also one of the reasons why Dugu Bo started running outside.
If he wanted to continue researching, he would need to wait until these herbs grew back completely.
Quan Yi didn't have the time to repair the entire medicine garden for Dugu Bo; he only touched the herbs that he felt were useful and those that were damaged because of him.
After doing these things, Quan Yi walked to an open space, sat cross-legged, and while using meditation to comprehend the various attributes he had gained, he continuously outputted lightning to temper his left arm bone.
A night passed.
At the break of dawn, a magnificent golden-emerald light suddenly burst forth from within the silent mist.
The center of the light was precisely Quan Yi, who had been sitting cross-legged for the entire night.
The fusion of gold and emerald green softened the color tone; Quan Yi sat within the light that surrounded him and gently opened his eyes.
The light bursting from his left arm awakened Quan Yi from his meditation.
The soul bone tempering was successful.
Quan Yi could feel that his left arm bone had completely fused with his body.
As Quan Yi had expected, the feeling the left arm bone gave Quan Yi was like an external soul bone.
This also meant that, from now on, this soul bone would not fall off Quan Yi's body.
It would only dissipate along with Quan Yi's death.
Moreover, as the soul bone completely integrated with the body, the boundary that restricted normal soul bones from evolving together with the soul master was also completely erased.
Quan Yi's blood and soul power began to pour into the soul bone, nourishing this soul bone and growing with him.
The condensation and dropping of soul bones seemed to be governed by the laws of heaven and earth; its rules should have been unbreakable.
However, the lightning tribulation was also a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth; the collision of the laws of heaven and earth caused them to constantly wear each other down.
In the end, the soul bone, like a rootless tree, had the mark of the laws on its body washed away by the lightning tribulation, completely breaking free from the control of heaven and earth.
In addition, after being tempered by the lightning tribulation, the age of the Golden-Emerald Furnace Flame Left Arm Bone successfully transformed to two hundred thousand years.
At the time of the Golden-Emerald Furnace Flame Turtle King's sacrifice, it was baptized by the Nebula Flame and Ultimate Gold; although it did not achieve evolution, it allowed the age of the left arm bone to infinitely approach two hundred thousand years.
After a night of lightning tribulation refinement, the Golden-Emerald Furnace Flame Left Arm Bone smoothly crossed the boundary of two hundred thousand years, as if it was a natural occurrence.
Although, in terms of age, it had only just crossed two hundred thousand years, this boundary symbolized that its strength had entered another level for soul beasts.
The same was true for soul bones.
The evolved left arm bone had undergone tremendous changes compared to before.
First, there were the two soul bone skills.
The defensive soul bone skill, Golden-Emerald Radiance, had doubled in defensive power and area.
If combined with Little Gold in his left hand, with a two hundred percent increase in the gold attribute, the defensive power of this skill would reach a terrifying level.
The recovery-type soul bone skill, Spirit Turtle Shedding its Shell.
This skill was a complete recovery skill other than soul power, and when combined with the Martial Soul True Body, Dark Gold Yang Dragon, it could unleash unimaginable recovery power.
The only drawback of Spirit Turtle Shedding its Shell was the high soul power consumption of thirty percent and a long cooldown time of twenty-four hours.
However, as the soul bone evolved, the soul power consumption of Spirit Turtle Shedding its Shell decreased by ten percent.
It didn't seem like much, but for a soul bone skill that only looked at percentages and not the total amount, even ten percent was a very large number.
Moreover, as Quan Yi's soul power level increased, the significance of reducing ten percent would continue to deepen.
The soul power consumption had changed, and the cooldown time had not lagged behind.
The cooldown time of twenty-four hours was reduced to sixteen hours after evolution.
For a life-saving trick like Spirit Turtle Shedding its Shell, even shortening it by a minute and a second was extremely important, as it was related to Quan Yi's life safety after all.
Reducing it by eight hours, one-third of a day, Quan Yi had no reason to be dissatisfied.
However, it wasn't over yet.
The moment Quan Yi's Ultimate Wood entered the soul bone, it reacted violently with it.
The rich life aura of the Ultimate Wood alerted the soul bone to automatically absorb it and store it inside, and it began to convert it into the vitality needed to activate Spirit Turtle Shedding its Shell.
The length of the cooldown time was greatly related to this life force with an extremely strong recovery effect.
This 'recovery energy', which was different from soul power, was a manifestation of the Turtle Clan's powerful vitality.
Previously, its accumulation could only be done by the soul bone alone.
But now, there seemed to be a new change.
Quan Yi completely wrapped his left arm with Ultimate Wood, and the conversion speed of recovery energy reached its fastest, ten times faster than before.
This also meant that, under the nourishment of Ultimate Wood, the sixteen-hour cooldown time could be shortened to one point six hours.
