Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 38: Xingluo Lingzhu
"Longing through the autumn dew, narcissus jade bones, gorgeous tulips, lovesickness heartbreaking red" the magical herbs originally obtained by the Shrek Seven Devils were collected by Ling Qianyao one by one, and the roots and stems were left.

Seeing him picking the flowers one after another as if nothing had happened, Dugu Bo's eyes widened. "You better be careful, little brat. If you die, who will I ask to remove the poison? Watch carefully!"

"Teacher, don't worry."

Ling Qianyao smiled slightly, stopped in front of a green leaf, pushed aside the green leaves, and took out the object hidden underneath.

It was a small golden melon, with a strong earthy smell surrounding it, which was thick and simple.

In addition to the one in his hand, there were two smaller golden melons clustered together on the ground.

After squatting down and putting the remaining two into the jade box, Ling Qianyao walked to a very beautiful spiritual plant.

Starry Spirit Pearl.

The branches are black, a very rare color among plants, and a palm-sized golden fruit grows on the top, like a huge pearl made up of thousands of golden light spots.

As the most gentle among the immortal herbs, the Xingluo Lingzhu does not reject humans but it is difficult to awaken its own spiritual intelligence. It does not enhance soul power as much as other immortal herbs. Its function is very similar to that of the ice and fire immortal herbs, which is to enhance the foundation for the future.

But it has two special effects:
First, after being absorbed by the soul master, it can turn into a soul core in the future.

Secondly, every night, the Xingluo Spirit Pearl will absorb the essence of the stars and the moon to improve itself, so it can greatly enhance the absorber's control over starlight and affinity with the power of the stars.

In addition, it itself is "immortal". Even if someone picks its fruit, a new golden fruit will immediately condense on the branch. There are even rumors that it has the ability to bring the dead back to life.

However, Ling Qianyao felt that its "resurrection" effect should be similar to that of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill in Doupo and the Shengsheng Creation Pill in the later generations of Douluo.

To be broken and then stand up again when seriously injured and on the verge of death, this is one of Ling Qianyao's goals on this trip.

For him who holds the Star-Breaking Sword, this is the most suitable magical herb for him.

"Teacher, I found the herbs I needed."

"Oh?" Dugu Bo instantly came to Ling Qianyao's side and looked at the Xingluo Spirit Pearl. "Is this the thing? The dense dots of light, tsk, it makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at it."

Do you have trypophobia?

Ling Qianyao took out the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd he had picked earlier and said to Dugu Bo, "This thing is called the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. It contains a strong earth-attributed energy and the dragon energy of the earth dragon. It has the power of an earth dragon turning over. If I'm right, it can help you evolve your martial soul and eliminate toxins from your body at the same time."

"Martial spirit evolves?!"

Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with brilliance. He grabbed three earth dragon golden pumpkins and examined them carefully in his palms. The fragrance after being unearthed made Dugu Bo swallow his saliva.

He suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Qian Yao, why do I feel like you are hiding something from me? I don't recognize the herbs in this place, but you know them roughly.

Moreover, you can tell the names and effects of these herbs."

Ling Qianyao looked at Dugu Bo seriously: "Teacher, everyone has secrets, right? I know the herbs here because of some chance.

But I swear to heaven that I will never harm you. This Earth Dragon Golden Gourd can definitely help you resolve the hidden dangers of your martial spirit."

"Stinky boy, you..." Dugu Bo opened his mouth, his mind racing, "This stinky boy came from the Xingluo Empire and is so knowledgeable, could it be that he actually has an extraordinary background?
Didn't Meng Shenji mention that his martial soul has similarities with the Xingguan Martial Soul of the Xingguan Sect?

From what I heard while traveling around the continent, it seems that most of the astrological martial spirits on the continent gather in the Xingguan Sect. It seems that Qianyao's background is also somewhat unusual."

He pondered for a moment and was about to say something when he saw Ling Qianyao leap up and arrive in front of the Xingluo Spirit Pearl.

"Teacher, if you're worried that what I know is wrong or that it's poisonous, then let me try it first."

"Hey? Wait..." Before Dugu Bo could stop him, when Ling Qianyao just stepped near the Xingluo Lingzhu and had not yet touched it, the energy contained in the golden fruit on the Xingluo Lingzhu burst out on its own, as if it was a sign.

Thousands of star-like points of light rose from the fruit, like a golden ocean, instantly covering the place.

Dugu Bo was shocked and was about to take action, but he found that the starlight did not cause any harm. He hesitated for a moment and stopped, looking at Ling Qianyao with some concern.

The Star-Breaking Sword appeared out of thin air, and the sky above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire turned into darkness, with stars hanging in the sky.

The countless rising starlights stopped after reaching the star curtain. Then, as the Star Luo Lingzhu itself began to flash with a golden halo, the starlight began to converge towards the Star Luo Lingzhu and Ling Qianyao below at the same time.

Ling Qianyao understood in his heart that this was a test from the Xingluo Spirit Pearl. It was testing his affinity and control over the power of the stars.

Unfortunately, the result is obvious.

The Star-Breaking Sword, which possesses the skill of star quenching, has the ultimate power of attracting and controlling star energy itself.

The moment the gathered starlight touched the Star-Breaking Sword, it seemed as if it had found a home. It gently wrapped around it and resonated with the star power in Ling Qianyao's body. Ninety-eight percent of the starlight was absorbed into his body.

The Xingluo Lingzhu, which was originally shaking its head and tail, suddenly lost its temper. The shining golden light on its body dimmed, and the golden fruit rolled down and landed in Ling Qianyao's hand. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a golden light and escaped into his body.

In an instant, starlight flashed on Ling Qianyao's body.

And on that branch, a small golden fruit grew again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the abnormalities in the sky disappeared without a trace.

"This"

Dugu Bo looked at the "little golden man" sitting cross-legged in front of him and was a little at a loss for a moment. He frowned and chose to protect Ling Qianyao not far away.

"This brat." Although he didn't intend to pursue the things that Ling Qianyao had concealed, he was still a little annoyed in his heart.

"Do you feel that your personality is a little weird, so you don't want to talk much?" Dugu Bo thought secretly in his heart, but his eyes never left Ling Qianyao's figure wrapped in starlight.

"However, since he is willing to confess some secrets, I should still hold some status in his heart. As expected, the relationship between us as registered disciples is still too distant. I need to find an opportunity to improve our intimacy.

Humph, you are plotting against me. I will give you a chance someday. Once I have done some ideological work on Yanyan, I will force myself on you and make you call me grandpa willingly.

Besides, what if this guy really has an extraordinary background? If he is really a member of the Xingguan Sect, I will make a fortune. He thought to himself.

The starlight on Ling Qianyao's body gradually faded, and the Xingluo Spirit Pearl completely merged into his body, bringing him unprecedented nourishment of star power.

He lit up all the star points represented by the 120 stars in the Ziwei Constellation, and the effect of the astrology skill was enhanced. He had three opportunities every day to predict good or bad luck, and he could also designate a target for in-depth fortune analysis.

Although the effect of the Xingluo Spirit Pearl on improving soul power is not as great as other magical herbs, it still raised his soul power level to level 30.

And in Ling Qianyao's dantian, there was a ball of golden light and shadow slowly rotating, like a star vortex.

Ling Qianyao slowly opened his eyes, with stars in his pupils. His mental strength had been greatly enhanced, and his eyes could observe things more carefully and discover details that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

"I'm afraid ordinary illusions will hardly affect me." He thought to himself and closed his eyes. The stars in his pupils disappeared.

Dugu Bo saw that the strange phenomenon on Ling Qianyao's body disappeared, so he walked straight to his side, put his hand on his shoulder, and checked the condition inside Ling Qianyao's body.

"What the hell?!"
