--- Chapter 58 ---
After thinking about the pros and cons, Han Yuan decided to give up on the remains of Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
For now, that is.
It's not like Han Yuan doesn't want them, but he can't.
He used his spiritual power to check how deep the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was. And his spiritual power couldn't even get to the bottom of it.
He doesn't want to die stupid, okay?
So, Han Yuan's current goal is to get stronger, at least strong enough to handle the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang like a walk in a park or a swim in a kid's pool.
Great analogy, right?
Anyway, Han Yuan harvested all the Immortal Herbs he could get. He also discovered several Immortal Herbs that weren't in the original story, such as Golden Thunder Rose, Dragon Tooth Rice, Heavenly Cannabis, Moon-Praying Grass, Nether Serpent Vines, Holy Berry, etc.
Of course, with the Sky Poison Pearl, Han Yuan harvested them perfectly and even left an intact stem and roots for the Immortal Herbs to regrow back in no time.
Han Yuan was about to walk away when he realized he hadn't taken any of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's water, which has a polarized effect on many things. Adding a little into his pill-making will increase the quality.
So, Han Yuan quickly filled up a few litters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's water, or what he named Yin-Yang Polarizing Liquid, into the Sky Poison Pearl.
Thankfully, Sky Poison Pearl has infinite storage space, and Han Yuan can split the objects stored with a "gentle and lasting" aura the pearl made that keeps them from touching each other and durable as if time froze inside.
Ten minutes later, Han Yuan returned with a big smile. On the way back, he also harvested some rare herbs that rivaled Immortal Herbs in some ways.
Even though these herbs don't have a 'miracle-like' effect, they still have immense medicinal properties, like 10,000-year-old Snow Lotuses with the rich essence of Heaven and Earth.
Not to mention, herbs like Snow Lotus are neutral, and everyone can use them to improve their cultivation. So, they are even better than Immortal Herbs in this aspect.
"I'm back!" Han Yuan has come back from his journey.
Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, and Han Yue stared at him blankly.
"What's with that look?" Han Yuan pouted at them.
Liu Erlong harrumphed, "Nothing. It seemed you were really fine despite entering that dangerous place."
"As expected of Xiao Yuan, you're a genius."
Han Yuan glanced at Han Yue and saw her smiling, "Sister, tell me what happened when I'm gone."
"We made a bet." Han Yue replied immediately. "We made a bet on how long you can stay in the garden."
"Xiao Yue, you snitch!" Liu Erlong couldn't believe this girl.
Dugu Bo looked away, pretending he wasn't part of this group.
Han Yuan's mouth twitched, "You really know how to play, huh? So, who wins?"
"It's Senior Dugu." Han Yue replied again. "He won 30,000 gold coins from us."
"..." Dugu Bo broke into cold sweats.
"A-Ahem, Young Master, this was just a joke. I will return the money to the Dean and Young Lady."
"I never planned to keep them in the first place."
"You have to believe me..."
Han Yuan rolled his eyes at them and said, "Keep them. Those 30,000 gold coins mostly come from the dean anyway."
"H-How did you know??" Liu Erlong's eyes widened in disbelief. She bet 25,000 gold coins and lost them all.
"I didn't, but now I know." Han Yuan giggled wickedly at her.
"You little..." Liu Erlong doesn't feel good. This evil brat is tricking her left and right. Uugh, my money!
Although the Dao Academy paid Liu Erlong better than the Blue Tyrant Academy did, it wasn't to the point where she threw gold coins around like they were sunflower seeds. Even with discounts, Han Yuan's tailor-made techniques and medicines are expensive, you know?
Han Yuan ignored Liu Erlong's wronged, pitiful look and pulled the Moon Praying Grass he got earlier, "This is Immortal Herb."
The Immortal Herb looked similar to a mimosa (sensitive plant) with two sets of white leaves shaped like praying hands and a bright silver-golden flower instead of the usual purple. There is a faint radiance of the moon from the flower.
"Hmph! What's so special about this herb?" Liu Erlong, still angry because she lost her money, asked with a sour face.
Han Yuan smiled, "Moon Praying Grass is said to be the incarnation of an evil princess before getting turned into grass. The princess prayed to the moon every day. This Immortal Herb has a rich yin property and can open one's spiritual sea, connecting mind and heart, thus creating sixth sense and refining one's appearance into that of a noble princess."
"The Moon Praying Grass is suitable for my sister. Her "Glorious Moon" martial soul has the ultimate yin attribute, after all."
"However, sister, you can't take this herb directly. Let me refine it into a pill with some other herbs first."
"Give me five minutes." Han Yuan confidently said as he sat down and let his mind operate the Sky Poison Pearl. He quickly extracted the Moon Praying Grass's essence alongside 10,000-year-old Snow Lotus and a few drops of Yin-Yang Polarizing Liquid and mixed them thoroughly.
Several milky-white pills condensed inside the Sky Poison Pearl, looking ordinary but having immense medicinal properties sealed inside. Taking one pill could allow spirit masters with a yin-attributed martial soul to increase their spirit ranks by a minimum of five levels or more.
On top of that, their martial souls will also gain 'moon-like' characteristics and evolve into extreme, if not ultimate, yin attributes.
All these are without a single flaw or drawback because Sky Poison Pearl is a cheat code that allowed Han Yuan to make perfect pills.
Anyway, the Moon Purifying Pills were born!
Han Yuan sighed and took three pills, "Here, since your "Glorious Moon" martial soul is already the ultimate yin, you need more pills to strengthen it even further."
Everyone looked at the three milky-white pills but found no special aura from them. Aside from looking pretty like pearls, the pills are like cheap products.
Han Yue, however, trusted Han Yuan with all her beings, ate the pills, and meditated immediately. She doesn't need to question her brother.
Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong watched Han Yue silently, feeling a burst of spirit energy from her body. Then, a white flame-like aura appeared from her abdomen and slowly covered her whole body, making her look like a bonfire.
"Xiao Yuan..." Liu Erlong looked to Han Yuan for an answer.
Han Yuan waved casually, "Just wait and look."
Han Yue's spirit rank started rising as the deep and thorough cleansing effect kicked in her body, causing her body, spirit, and mind to undergo qualitative changes.
The transformation lasted nearly fifteen minutes, and the impurities were 'gradually' washed away by moonlight particles despite having the sun in the sky.
Han Yue's martial soul suddenly manifested above her. A lone, silver moon with a soft golden glow hovered gently, illuminating the garden's area with its radiance.
However, what caught their attention wasn't the beautiful moon but Han Yue herself.
Under the moonlight, a silver-haired beauty sat charmingly with her soft facial features, pink-blue eyes, pink lips, slightly longer ears, and button nose.
Although dressed in a modest white-blue dress, she looked like the most noble princess. It's not just about appearance, but the atmosphere she gave off!

Han Yuan was stunned. He already expected a massive improvement from Han Yue after consuming the pills, but this exceeded his expectations!
He sighed in relief, "Everything went well..."
Han Yue blinked her eyes and smiled at Han Yuan beautifully, "Xiao Yuan, Sister has broken through to level 40!"
"What?!" Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo were shocked.
They are sure Han Yue was only level 34 earlier.
How could she raise her spirit ranks by six levels instantly?
Are Immortal Herbs that effective?
Han Yuan chuckled, "Now, you know the terrifying effect of pills made from Immortal Herbs."
"In fact, my sister's spirit rank is probably around level 43 or 44, meaning she gained ten levels upon consuming those pills. The bottleneck doesn't allow her to reach it."
"Unbelievable..." Liu Erlong couldn't believe her ears. "I-If ate one of the pills made with Immortal Pills, won't I become Title Douluo instantly?"
Han Yuan sneered, "What a nice dream you have... When did I say I'd give you one?"
Liu Erlong pouted her mouth and acted coyly, hugging Han Yuan's left arm like a needy woman. "Come on, Xiao Yuan~! I was joking earlier. My mood gets in the way, you know? Women are so emotional sometimes."
"So, please, please give me pills?" She gave the best puppy-eyed look she could.
"Your skin is thicker than the Great Wall of China." Han Yuan's mouth twitched.
"Yes, yes, I know." Liu Erlong blinked. "So, give me a pill, please~?"
Han Yuan pushed Liu Erlong's face away, "Fine, fine, I'll make one for you later."
"YEEEY~!" Liu Erlong celebrated, hugging and kissing Han Yuan's cheek occasionally.
Crack!
Han Yue watched this coldly and clenched her hand tight to the point of making creaking sounds, 'Liu Erlong, you shameless woman! I knew it! You old cow wants to eat young grass, after all!'
'GEt awAy from MY XIAO YUAN!'
Dugu Bo saw Han Yue's death glare for Liu Erlong and wiped his forehead full of beads of sweat nervously, 'Damn, so scary! I should tell Yanyan to befriend the young lady later!'
'Yes, they cannot be enemies if Yanyan wants to be with the young master! Harmonious harem is a good harem!'
