The wood spirit mushroom was devouring the life source of the Demonic Eye Demon Tree?

Tang San glanced back at the bound nine-jointed jadeite and thought to himself, "The nine-jointed jade is devouring the life force of the wood spirit mushroom, and the wood spirit mushroom, in order to survive, is forced to start devouring the life source of the demonic eye spirit tree, causing the wood spirit mushroom to take on the characteristics of the demonic eye spirit tree."

"In this way, this wood spirit mushroom should have mutated into a wood spirit demon mushroom."

"In terms of soul skills, it should still give my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul the ability to release seeds, but will the effect still be an increase?"

"This plant-type soul beast, the demon eye spirit tree, also has extremely tenacious vitality. However, its most important characteristic is its demon eye, which can cause soul masters and other soul beasts to fall into an illusion. If I inherit this ability, then my second soul skill effect, logically speaking, should be able to reduce the opponent's spiritual power, or even directly reverse the effect of the wood spirit mushroom, a negative buff?"

After pondering for a while, Tang San decided to absorb the soul ring of this wood spirit demon mushroom after all. After all, being able to weaken the opponent was also a good soul skill.

The positive buff could be considered for the third soul ring.

For his Blue Silver Grass, strengthening vitality was the most crucial, and the wood spirit demon mushroom could absorb the life source of the demonic eye spirit tree, which would definitely increase the first soul skill's absorption of the earth's power.

Therefore, Tang San plucked the wood spirit demon mushroom from the trunk of the demonic eye spirit tree.

This kind of soul beast, the wood spirit mushroom, would die once it left the symbiotic plant soul beast. Even if it had mutated into a wood spirit demon mushroom, it could not avoid this fate.

Looking at the purple soul ring, Tang San took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, adjusted his state, and then drew it over, thinking to himself, "Come on, my second soul ring."

When the purple soul ring was put into the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San felt a majestic energy spread from the Blue Silver Grass to his body, as if it was going to burst his entire body.

Tang San immediately activated the Xuantian Gong, controlling the chaotic energy with soul power and slowly refining it.

Xiao Wu saw that Tang San's muscles, which had expanded by a circle, had returned to their original appearance. She heaved a sigh of relief and complained, "Really, do you have to be so risky? You made me worry... Hey, Brother San's hair seems to have grown longer again. There are more blue-silver parts, and the lines of his face seem to be softer."

"Could it be that every time he absorbs a soul ring, he becomes more handsome? If I couldn't sense the soul beast aura on him, this guy would be more like a soul beast than me."

Two hours later, Tang San finally absorbed the soul ring and opened his eyes. His originally black pupils revealed a hint of silver, looking more elegant (hypocritical)?

"Twenty-second level soul power, not bad." Tang San sensed the state of his soul power and was overjoyed. Then, he looked at Xiao Wu, who was in a daze in front of him, and waved his hand in front of her, smiling, "What's wrong? Are you charmed by my handsome face?"

Xiao Wu's face turned red, and she spat, "Narcissistic, I won't be charmed by you."

"Hehe."

Tang San laughed twice and didn't continue to tease Xiao Wu. Instead, he introduced the changes that had happened to the Blue Silver Grass after he had absorbed the second soul ring.

"My Blue Silver Grass has become more luxuriant, The silver patterns on it are more numerous, and its vitality is also more vigorous."

After saying that, Tang San cast the Endless Grass Field. The roots of the Blue Silver Grass dug deeper and covered an area of nearly fifty meters in radius and a depth of fifty meters. Moreover, the efficiency of absorbing the earth's power was higher.

In addition, when using the soul skill Endless Life, being bound by the Blue Silver Grass was no longer a necessary condition. As long as one was within the Endless Grass Field, they could receive recovery at all times.

Moreover, thanks to the evolution brought by the absorption of the second soul ring, Tang San could mark teammates, allowing only teammates to enjoy the recovery effect, while enemies could only be entangled by the Blue Silver Grass in the Endless Grass Field.

Xiao Wu felt the effect of Tang San's first soul skill and felt refreshed all over. After reacting, she asked, "What is your second soul skill?"

"The soul skill effect of my second soul ring is beyond my expectations. It can both buff my side and weaken the enemy's side. I call it: positive and negative buffs." Tang San didn't beat around the bush. "Do you want to try it?"

Xiao Wu nodded. "Come on, but what does buff mean?"

"It means to increase."

After Tang San explained, he first used the positive buff effect.

Xiao Wu carefully observed the Blue Silver Grass Field and found that the Blue Silver Grass, apart from being blown by the wind, didn't have any changes. Just as she was about to ask, she found herself becoming excited, as if she had endless strength. Especially her soul power, she felt that the increase was the most obvious, increasing by more than twenty percent.

Then, at Tang San's request, Xiao Wu ran, and her speed was also twenty percent faster than usual.

Then, she tested her strength, which was to hammer a tree. The damage caused was five times stronger than before, which proved that her attack had also been enhanced, but her pain was reduced by twenty percent.

Xiao Wu's martial soul didn't have any special energy, so she could only judge that Tang San's positive buff could increase soul power, speed, strength, defense, and attack by twenty percent or more.

As for the attribute increase, Tang San personally tested it. The vitality of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul increased by twenty-two percent.

Therefore, one of his positive buffs had achieved all the enhancement skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul's first six soul rings.

What was heaven-defying?

This was it.

However, compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement method, the Blue Silver Grass's positive buff was carried out by the soul master inhaling invisible Blue Silver Grass seeds. If the wind was strong, the effect would be reduced. After all, how the seeds created by the Blue Silver Grass floated in the air was not something his current spiritual power could control.

The only thing he could do was to mark his teammates with soul power, allowing only his teammates to enjoy the enhancement effect.

Then, Tang San used the negative buff again. Xiao Wu immediately felt listless, and all her abilities were reduced by more than twenty percent.

After Tang San put away the Endless Grass Field, Xiao Wu was still in the negative buff state. It wasn't until half an hour later that she returned to normal.

"You just watched me suffer from the negative buff effect?" Xiao Wu looked resentful.

"There's no way. I had to test the duration of the negative buff." Tang San laughed dryly and handed her a water bottle, feeling a little embarrassed. "This negative buff is useless to me, but the positive buff is useful to me."
