Drawing upon his own Blue Silver Emperor as the foundation, Tang San discovered that he could only exert control over Blue Silver Grass. While other plants might "submit" to him, it was merely a form of "respect" towards the Plant Emperor. Essentially, Blue Silver Emperor and other plants were different races and couldn't be effectively "ruled."
Of course, after Tang San controlled the Golden Tree, his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was indeed influenced by its corresponding aura, showing a tendency to become the Emperor of all plants. But could the Blue Silver Emperor of a Blue Silver Grass achieve this?
Why could it condense the soul ring of the Demoneye Tree?
Or perhaps it wasn't condensing; it was hunting the Demoneye Tree to obtain its soul ring?
That's a possibility...
Although Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts can condense the first seven soul rings, there's no rule stating they must condense them; they can obtain them by hunting other spirit beasts.
Usually, Spirit Beasts in human form don't choose to hunt other spirit beasts. Apart from the fact that they're sympathetic towards other spirit beasts due to their own nature, their cultivation base of hundred thousand years is sufficient to condense soul skills suitable for them after their transformation.
However, why did Tang San choose to hunt Spirit Beasts?
Could it be that he guessed wrong, and the other party wasn't a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in human form?
"According to your thoughts, it's indeed possible." Tang San wasn't clear about the specifics of the Blue Silver Emperor's situation, so he didn't intend to delve too deeply.
Regardless of whether she was transformed into a Blue Silver Emperor or another traveler, at least for now, she didn't harbor any ill will towards him.
That's enough.
"Um, Captain, have you ever eaten Immortal Grass yourself?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.
"No, but I have summarized the various energy circulation patterns on Immortal Grass and created a complete method for cultivating soul power and blood qi. After I confirm it through experimentation, I'll have the opportunity to pass it on to you all."
Tang San only passed on the Divine Jade Bone and Gold Muscle Divine Law to Xiao Wu and Guangling. As for the others, he didn't plan to teach them at the moment.
However, in the future, when he becomes stronger, there's no harm in spreading this technique.
After all, thinking and creating alone are limited, far inferior to the collision of thoughts among many people.
Hiding and hoarding knowledge will only lead to stagnation.
To continue progressing, one must draw wisdom from all beings and learn from all sources of knowledge.
Of course, it's not possible right now. He needs to become stronger first, at least to the point where he can effortlessly crush ninety-nine percent of the soul masters on the Douluo Continent.
Tang San never denies this selfishness...

As the New Year approaches, the academy is on break.
Noble students from the Tian Dou Royal Academy have also returned home, and members of the Heaven Dou Team bid farewell to each other.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guangling also returned to Nuoding City to celebrate the New Year in the mansion they bought from Ma Xiu Nuo.
Old Jack and his family were living there, enjoying themselves.
After the New Year, the three of them also visited Holy Soul Village with Old Jack. It was still the same, except for the addition of seven or eight households.
According to Old Jack, it's because Holy Soul Village has produced a soul master like him, making it feel safer, so they moved here.
After staying for half a month, Tang San left a thousand gold soul coins and some herbs for Old Jack before visiting Su yuntao, Sisi, and Wang Sheng. Then, they set off again with Xiao Wu and Guangling, returning to Tian Dou City.

After Spring.
Tian Dou City becomes lively.
In the streets and alleys, you can see noble ladies wearing thicker qipaos, walking gracefully.
"I guess I've changed Douluo Continent a bit," Tang San said with a smile.
"Indeed, you have. You've made those beautiful women show off their long legs," Xiao Wu said with a smirk. "I wonder if you're doing it to make money or to feast your eyes."
"Cough, I'm definitely doing it to make money. Besides, I just happen to have an eye for beauty," Tang San coughed twice, looking serious. "Moreover, the love for beauty is universal among people."
"Tch~" Xiao Wu looked disdainful.
"The dance troupe of Tian Shui Academy is going to hold a concert!"
"Ticket booth: Outside the main gate of Tian Shui Academy!"
"Reminder: There's also a chance to take photos with female students from Tian Shui Academy!"
At this moment, on a newly erected three-sided billboard by the roadside, the image of the Tian Shui Academy's female singing group appeared, introducing the news that Tian Shui Academy would hold a concert at the Great Spirit Arena in Tian Dou City.
The appearance of Soul Guide Cameras has made information dissemination easier.
Tian Shui Academy has obviously seized the opportunity and put up advertisements to hold concerts.
Such events happened last year in various academies. It's estimated that they found it profitable and plan to do it again this year.
"By the way, are outstanding talents from various academies considered celebrities? If they have countless fans, is it a way to gather believers?" Tang San looked at the image of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er on the advertisement banner, rubbing his chin, silently pondering the possibilities. "It shouldn't be that simple. The admiration of fans for celebrities is just a kind of fanaticism, not a genuine belief. Besides, how to gather the power of belief is also a problem... Moreover, it's best not to touch belief. And besides, celebrities also have their downsides."
"San Ge, what are you thinking? You're not attracted to those girls from Tian Shui Academy, are you?" Xiao Wu became alert. "Huo Wu said that the girls from Tian Shui Academy are all flirtatious."
"Cough, when Huo Wu says such things, it's definitely an exaggeration. But their affairs in terms of relationships between men and women shouldn't be too complicated."
According to Tang San's observation, the attitude towards relationships between men and women on the Douluo Continent is quite open, especially in the Star Luo Empire.
However, for the most part, once both parties establish a genuine relationship, they treat each other sincerely and won't betray each other during this time, unless they break up.
"Do you know about those affairs between men and women?" Xiao Wu's eyes became crafty.
"Cough, self-taught." Tang San quickly changed the subject. "Let's go to the Tian Dou Royal Academy. For the Elite Soul Masters Academy Tournament of the whole continent next year, we must practice harder, and our side business can't be neglected."
"I focus on researching Martial Souls, supplemented by studies in Soul Tools and medicine. Xiao Wu, you focus on medical research, supplemented by memorizing theoretical knowledge of Martial Souls and testing Soul Tools. Guangling, you're responsible for researching Soul Tools, supplemented by studying Martial Souls and recognizing medicinal herbs."
Each of the three had their strengths.
However, Tang San was proficient in all three areas of side business. He was strongest in Martial
Soul theory, Xiao Wu was proficient in medicine, and Oscar, being the youngest, had limited energy. Even if he received Tang San's full inheritance, he couldn't thoroughly research all three areas. To avoid spreading his energy too thin, it was enough for him to be able to identify most medicinal herbs and their effects.
As expected, Xiao Wu's attention was diverted, and she said, "That's not a problem. I didn't expect that ordinary plants, when used together, could have so many different effects."
Human wisdom is incomparable to Spirit Beasts, even Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts fall short.
If Tang San knew Xiao Wu's thoughts, he would certainly say that the wisdom of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts is no different from humans, they just lack the opportunity to experiment.
Humans reproduce quickly, and there are countless people summarizing the experiences of their predecessors.
On the other hand, Spirit Beasts, in general, only reach the level of Hundred Thousand Years of cultivation, and it takes many years to accumulate wisdom. This wisdom is precious, and the scarcity of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts makes them cherish their lives even more and dare not take risks.
