Xiao Wu very quickly gnawed away nearly seventy percent of Ah Yin's leaves. Then, seeing how weakened Ah Yin had become, she gradually slowed down.
In the end, although she still couldn't resist sneaking a few more bites, she at least left Ah Yin with a couple of leaves.
Watching Xiao Wu recklessly prepare to yank Ah Yin straight out of the soil, Chen Ming silently raised a hand to stop her.
Only then did Xiao Wu remember that Chen Ming had deliberately brought her here in the first place. Maybe he had already had plans for this special Blue Silver Grass all along.
"Can't you spare her life? She's already so weak right now. Even if you kill her, she definitely won't produce a Spirit Bone. Can't you just let her go?" Having eaten her fill, Xiao Wu softened up. Hugging Chen Ming's arm, she continuously shook it while speaking in a sticky, coquettish voice.
"I didn't come here to kill her. I have other plans. I just couldn't stand watching you prepare to rip her out of the ground like that. She's already weak, and you've already eaten quite a few of her leaves. If you yank her out by force, her condition will only worsen."
"Watch carefully…"
Chen Ming pulled out a flowerpot over half a meter tall from his soul tool, then took out a small shovel. Carefully, he cut away the soil around Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin, transferring her roots together with the surrounding dirt into the flowerpot.
Then, under Xiao Wu's astonished gaze, Chen Ming took out a small green bottle and a large basin of soil.
The soil had been gathered from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and then specially composted and fermented by Chen Ming afterward into premium nutrient-rich earth.
As for the liquid inside the small green bottle, it was a special nutrient solution made from Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well water diluted thousands of times and mixed with refined plant extracts.
Nutrient soil wasn't something Chen Ming had intentionally researched from the beginning. Rather, it was something he casually developed while researching medicine and refining pills, mainly as a method of waste recycling.
The leftover scraps from alchemy mixed with miscellaneous Spirit Beast materials, combined and adjusted slightly, became a supreme tonic capable of making plant-type Spirit Beasts drool with envy.
As for the nutrient solution, it was a failed product from Chen Ming's attempts to dilute the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well water for medicinal refining.
Although it couldn't be directly used in medicine, and humans couldn't absorb it very well either, for plant-type Spirit Beasts, it was an absolute treasure.
Even though Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin only had one or two leaves remaining after Xiao Wu's feast, the moment Chen Ming added the premium soil and concentrated nutrient solution, Ah Yin's leaves immediately straightened upright.
The golden-lined leaves trembled continuously as though filled with human emotion before suddenly flopping onto the ground with a smack, as if entering some kind of enlightened sage state.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, tender new shoots sprouted rapidly from the soil and quickly began growing.
Although she still hadn't recovered to the state she'd been in before Xiao Wu ate her leaves, the entire plant was now overflowing with vitality. It probably wouldn't take long before she recovered to an even better condition than before.
Seeing this, Chen Ming nodded in satisfaction and quietly prepared to put away the little green bottle in his hand.
But suddenly, the two leaves Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin had left abruptly stretched longer and gently wrapped around Chen Ming's hand while swaying nonstop.
It looked as though she was imitating Xiao Wu from earlier, begging Chen Ming to share just a little more life essence with her.
"So amazing. What is this?" Xiao Wu could sense that the liquid inside Chen Ming's small green bottle contained a gentle, pure, and extremely special life force.
Even though she wasn't a plant-type Spirit Beast, Xiao Wu could still tell that the liquid inside that bottle was something extraordinarily valuable.
"Oh, this? It's a nutrient solution I specially developed for plants. This whole set was originally prepared for transplanting some rare herbs. But now it's being used on this Blue Silver Empress."
Feeling the gentle force coming from Ah Yin wrapping around his wrist, Chen Ming added a little more life essence to her.
Then, while Ah Yin trembled happily from the stimulation, he quickly put away the small green bottle and summoned his Martial Soul, holding the flowerpot in his arms.
Looking at Chen Ming's true dragon Martial Soul—which was clearly completely different from before—as well as the one yellow and two purple Spirit Rings around him, Xiao Wu had countless things she wanted to say.
But in the end, her brain overloaded so badly that she could only open her mouth silently without making a sound.
At present, Chen Ming was already a little over ten and a half years old. In another three or four months, he would turn eleven. After transforming, Xiao Wu was roughly the same age as him, also not yet eleven.
Right now, Xiao Wu's cultivation was only at Level 27 Spirit Grandmaster.
Although the influence of the Douluo Heart Method had allowed her to improve quite well recently, because it hadn't been implemented for very long, Xiao Wu's overall performance wasn't actually too different from the original story.
The real reason she cultivated faster than in the original story was because she hadn't been influenced by Tang San. Instead, she had been influenced by Chen Ming.
Xiao Wu had restrained much of her playful and spoiled childish personality and had become far more diligent in cultivation.
After all, Xiao Wu's innate full Spirit Power was genuine innate full Spirit Power, not the fake kind that Tang San later disguised through internal cultivation.
Moreover, because her body contained the slowly releasing origin power of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, and because every Spirit Ring she obtained was perfectly suited to herself, Xiao Wu's true cultivation speed was actually slightly faster than even genuine human full innate Spirit Power users. The difference just wasn't especially obvious.
Even her little brother, the Azure Bull Python Da Ming, although he wasn't a true dragon, still possessed the blood of the Azure Dragon. Whether in strength or status, he far surpassed ordinary dragon races.
It was simply because the Azure Dragon bloodline was too powerful. Legends even claimed that a true Azure Dragon could possibly ascend to godhood. Even after reaching a hundred thousand years of cultivation, Da Ming still had not met the qualifications necessary to transform into a dragon.
Xiao Wu felt that she could be considered someone who had seen powerful dragon races before.
Yet although the dragon aura surrounding Chen Ming wasn't overwhelmingly massive, its purity and nobility were on a level Da Ming simply could not compare to.
This was not just some ordinary true dragon Martial Soul.
Even among true dragons, it should belong to the highest tier of powerful Martial Souls.
There was even a very high possibility that it had reached the level of the Dragon Clan elders.
Xiao Wu was willing to bet on the grass she had just eaten that there was absolutely no way a simple Martial Soul mutation could transform a lesser dragon Martial Soul like the Heavy Armored Earth Dragon into something like this.
Honestly—
Even if someone claimed that Chen Ming had devoured a hundred-thousand-year dragon Spirit Beast to evolve himself into this state, Xiao Wu would completely believe it.
If their attributes weren't different, Xiao Wu would even suspect that her little brother might already have manifested on Chen Ming's body in the form of a Spirit Bone.
