The Blue Silver Emperor picked up the fallen stem of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red and said, "It's not as mysterious as it seems. It's just that the medicinal power of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red is incredibly potent. I didn't expect it to have such an effect after consuming it. I thought it would simply increase my soul power by at least ten levels, but the result was beyond my expectations. After all, this is the first time I've encountered the Lovesick Heartbroken Red."

"I feel like my martial soul has undergone a transformation, and my aura has completely changed. It's as if I've entered the mature stage ahead of time," the Blue Silver Emperor thought to herself, feeling relieved.

This issue had troubled her for a long time. Reaching the mature stage safely was no easy task.

"That's true! But no matter what, we've gained a lot this time, especially you. Not only have you reached level 55 and become a Soul King, but your martial soul has also evolved, and you've obtained a perfect soul ring."

"However, since your martial soul has become a divine-level martial soul, won't it attract too much attention outside and cause unnecessary trouble?" Lin Yongming asked with concern.

"Don't worry. Now that I've awakened my martial soul domain and advanced, I have a small skill called 'Disguise.' I can change the color of my soul rings at will and conceal my aura. I can even disguise my martial soul as an ordinary Blue Silver Grass," the Blue Silver Emperor replied with a confident smile.

"That's good to hear," Lin Yongming nodded in relief.

"Don't worry, I understand the importance of laying low. Although we are considered top-tier geniuses among our peers, we don't have any powerful elders to rely on. So, it's best to keep a low profile when necessary. Xiao Ming, you should do the same. When we go out, just tell people you're twenty years old. After all, with your tall stature, no one would believe you're only ten," the Blue Silver Emperor reminded him calmly.

"That makes sense. When traveling outside, we should consider all possibilities," Lin Yongming agreed.

"Alright, let's sit down and chat. I'm also hungry, and it's already past midnight," the Blue Silver Emperor suggested.

"Sure."

The increase in their soul power had left them in urgent need of energy, so they quickly consumed a day's worth of food.

"I'm so full!" After eating, they lay down on a mat beside the fire, gazing up at the starry sky.

"It's the most I've eaten in one sitting," the Blue Silver Emperor remarked.

"A Yin, there are still many other immortal herbs at the bottom of the valley. Can we eat more?" Lin Yongming asked casually.

"No, we still have the medicinal power of the immortal herbs in our bodies. This power will last until we reach the Soul Sage level. Even if we could eat more, it wouldn't have much effect on us now. It would just be a waste," the Blue Silver Emperor gently shook her head.

"By the way, there's a herb called the Gazing Aqueous Dew at the bottom. It has a significant effect on spiritual power and can greatly enhance eyesight. It's much stronger than the Starry Eyes Grass. You can try eating it to see if it can cure your eyes," the Blue Silver Emperor suggested, recalling the herb she had found earlier.

"Didn't you just say we shouldn't eat any more immortal herbs?" Lin Yongming asked, confused.

"It's fine. This herb is a top-tier auxiliary-type immortal herb. It won't conflict with the Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Sunflower you've already consumed. In fact, it's perfect for you. It might even help you develop the Fiery Golden Eyes ability," the Blue Silver Emperor explained.

"Really? I don't care about the Fiery Golden Eyes ability. I just hope I can open my eyes and see you and my parents clearly," Lin Yongming said with a hint of helplessness.

"Xiao Ming, it must be hard for you. Should I go and pick it for you now?" The Blue Silver Emperor turned to face Lin Yongming, gently brushing his eyebrows with her hand.

"A Yin, there's no need to rush. We can do it tomorrow. It's not urgent," Lin Yongming replied.

"Alright, we'll talk about it tomorrow. It's been a long day, so let's rest for now," the Blue Silver Emperor said softly.

"Okay."

Soon, the two fell asleep in each other's arms. Thanks to the poisonous mist surrounding them, there was no need to keep watch.

At the entrance of Thunder Rain Village, a luxurious carriage arrived, accompanied by four guards on horseback.

The carriage stopped by the roadside, and a stunningly beautiful girl stepped out. She wore an elegant purple dress that accentuated her noble demeanor.

"We're here. You two, come with me into the village. The rest of you, stay here and keep watch," the girl ordered calmly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The girl was none other than Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. After a year of seclusion, she had come to Thunder Rain Village to visit Lin Yongming.

"Nothing has changed here," Bibi Dong murmured as she gazed at the village from the entrance. She then stepped into the village with graceful strides, her high heels clicking softly against the ground.

Before long, Bibi Dong arrived at Lin Yongming's house. Fortunately, Lin Yongming's mother, Yinglan, was home, washing clothes in the courtyard.

"Auntie, hello!" Bibi Dong called out with a smile.

Hearing the voice, Yinglan turned around. "You are... the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall!"

"Hello, hello, Your Highness!" Yinglan quickly recognized Bibi Dong. She stood up, wiped her hands on her clothes, and walked over to greet her.

"Auntie, you're too kind. Just call me Bibi Dong," Bibi Dong replied politely.

"What brings you here? Please, come in and have a seat. You must be thirsty. Let me get you some water," Yinglan said warmly.

"Thank you," Bibi Dong nodded and entered the courtyard.

"Please, sit anywhere," Yinglan gestured to the stone table in the courtyard before heading inside to fetch water.

Soon, she returned with a water jug and three cups.

"Your Highness, is there something the Spirit Hall needs from Ming'er?" Yinglan asked curiously as she poured water.

"Auntie, there's nothing specific. I was just passing by and thought of Lin Yongming, so I decided to visit. Is he training in the mountains?" Bibi Dong asked, slightly embarrassed.

"I'm afraid you've come at the wrong time. Ming'er and A Yin left a few days ago to travel. He said he had reached level 40 and needed to obtain a soul ring," Yinglan explained.

"Oh, he's already reached level 40? That's impressive. Do you know where they went?" Bibi Dong asked, surprised.

"Yes, Ming'er and A Yin mentioned the Sunset Forest. They probably went there," Yinglan replied, though she wasn't sure where the Sunset Forest was located.

"The Sunset Forest? Auntie, thank you for telling me," Bibi Dong said after taking a sip of water.

Soon after, Bibi Dong bid farewell and left Thunder Rain Village.

"He's already level 40? I need to continue my closed-door cultivation. I can't let that woman look down on me," Bibi Dong thought to herself.

The next day, having slept until late into the night, the two woke up to the sunlight streaming onto their faces.

"It's so quiet. A Yin, what time is it?" Lin Yongming asked as he woke up.

"It's almost noon," the Blue Silver Emperor replied, looking up at the sun.

"We slept so late," Lin Yongming said, surprised.

"It's fine. We can lie here a little longer," the Blue Silver Emperor said with a gentle smile.

"True, there's nothing urgent to do," Lin Yongming agreed, lying back down. He then added, "A Yin, do you think there are any herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that can prolong life?"

"Xiao Ming, are you thinking of giving some to your parents?" the Blue Silver Emperor asked, understanding his intentions.

"Yes. Since we have these treasures, it's only right to share them with our family. But my parents are ordinary people. I'm worried that the medicinal power might be too strong for them to handle," Lin Yongming said, concerned.

"Xiao Ming, you're right. Most of the herbs here are highly toxic. Even the water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is too much for a soul master to handle, let alone an ordinary person. They wouldn't last a few minutes here."

"But don't worry. When I go to pick the Gazing Aqueous Dew later, I'll look for herbs with milder effects. Even if the medicinal power is too strong, we can dilute it and have your parents consume a little bit each day," the Blue Silver Emperor suggested.

"Alright, let's do that. A Yin, I'm so glad you're here. If I had encountered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well alone, I might have missed this opportunity," Lin Yongming said sincerely.

"You're also my lucky star. If it weren't for your insistence on coming here yesterday, I wouldn't have discovered this treasure trove," the Blue Silver Emperor replied tenderly.

"Mm, same here."

Overcome with emotion, the two embraced once more, staying like that until the sun was high in the sky.

After lunch, the Blue Silver Emperor descended to the bottom of the valley to search for more herbs.

An hour later, she returned with an immortal herb in hand—the Gazing Aqueous Dew.

"Xiao Ming, here. This is the Gazing Aqueous Dew I mentioned," the Blue Silver Emperor said happily.

"Thank you," Lin Yongming took the herb and asked, "Did you find any herbs suitable for my parents?"

"Yes, I found a decent Snow Lotus Ginseng. It originally grows on snowy mountain peaks, but thanks to the Cold Extreme Ice Spring, one has grown here. Its medicinal power is mild, so your parents can consume a petal each day by brewing it in tea," the Blue Silver Emperor explained.

"That's great. Let's use that. Why didn't you bring it up?" Lin Yongming asked curiously.

"I couldn't. Once plucked, it would lose most of its medicinal power within three days outside this valley. Besides, I think we need to find a soul tool that can store living things. Otherwise, once we leave, we won't be able to take these herbs with us. It's not practical for us to stay here forever, and if no one else comes here in the future, what will happen to these precious herbs?" the Blue Silver Emperor explained.

"A soul tool that can store living things? Those are extremely rare," Lin Yongming said, recalling that Tang San had used a similar tool to preserve fresh herbs.

"Don't worry. Since we're in the Heaven Dou Empire's capital, we can visit the auction house there when we have time. Although rare, they're more common than soul bones," the Blue Silver Emperor reassured him. "For now, focus on absorbing the Gazing Aqueous Dew and see if it can cure your eyes."

"Alright," Lin Yongming agreed. Following the Blue Silver Emperor's instructions, he sat down and consumed the herb.

A gentle, soothing medicinal power flowed through his body, a stark contrast to the intense effects of the Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Sunflower.

As he absorbed the herb's power, Lin Yongming felt the range of his Mind's Eye expand—120 meters, 130 meters... until it stopped at around 230 meters, doubling its previous range.

"The effect of my Killing Intent has also improved," Lin Yongming realized. His Killing Intent could now pose a threat to soul masters a full realm above him.

Previously, it only had a noticeable effect on soul masters below his level, but now its effectiveness had doubled. This was an unexpected gain.

However, despite these improvements, the herb had no effect on his eyes. Lin Yongming's vision remained shrouded in darkness.

"Sigh... I knew it. It seems I'll have to comprehend the Lightning Chapter and the Light Wave to open my Mind's Eye," Lin Yongming thought, not particularly disappointed. He had long known that only by mastering the Lightning Chapter of the Wave Secret Art and comprehending the Light Wave could he unlock his Mind's Eye.

In a way, Lin Yongming understood that this was all part of his journey to better comprehend the Light Wave.

"Xiao Ming, it didn't work?" the Blue Silver Emperor asked, hearing his sigh.

"A Yin, it didn't work," Lin Yongming shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Ming, it's okay. Even if you never regain your sight, I'll always be your eyes," the Blue Silver Emperor said, embracing him to comfort him.

She felt that Lin Yongming must be feeling deeply disappointed and in need of reassurance.

Suddenly, the Blue Silver Emperor remembered the red-line eyes she had seen on Lin Yongming before—eyes that resembled an abyss, sending shivers down her spine.

"Could it be that Xiao Ming's blindness isn't an illness but a seal?" the Blue Silver Emperor wondered, realizing she might have been mistaken all along. She had always assumed his blindness was congenital.

Thinking back to the first time she met Lin Yongming and the strange dream she had about the red-line eyes, the Blue Silver Emperor began to suspect that it wasn't just a dream but a warning.

"Thank you, A Yin," Lin Yongming nodded. "I won't give up on regaining my sight. If it doesn't work now, maybe it will when I reach the Soul Sage level and unlock my Martial Soul True Body. If not, then I'll keep trying until I become a Title Douluo. I refuse to believe my eyes can't be cured."

"Xiao Ming, I believe in you. Let's work hard together!" the Blue Silver Emperor encouraged him, keeping her thoughts to herself for now.
