Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 125 Surrender
Ye Wenxin already had a good impression of Lin Rong because of Lin Rong's mother.

At this moment, after sensing the divine aura emanating from Lin Rong, the martial soul Nine-Hearted Begonia in his body was released uncontrollably, swaying its petals in worship towards the front.

This made Ye Wenxin understand that the so-called divinity that Lin Rong mentioned might be true.

So, under the urging of the voice in his heart, he quickly made a choice.

"You are Yuyin's son, so of course I, your uncle, stand on your side."

Yuyin, whose full name is Du Yuyin, is Lin Rong's mother.

Ye Wenxin's words were a disguised expression of submission.

As soon as these words were spoken, the divinity emanating from Lin Rong instantly dissipated.

The human nature was revealed while the divine nature was hidden, and the whole person returned to his gentle appearance in an instant.

If Ye Wenxin hadn't been holding the Nine-Hearted Begonia in his hand, he would have almost thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Phew, that was close!" Although Lin Rong had a gentle and calm expression, his inner emotions were fluctuating.

"The divinity in my body is still too weak. It can no longer be maintained after only showing it for a short while."

"If Ye Wenxin had made her choice a few more seconds later, my half-baked divinity would have been exposed."

"But there is no other way. I don't have anything that the Ye family cares about. If I want to subdue them, I can only take risky measures."

The Ye family has few members because of their martial spirit, the Nine-Hearted Begonia. So what they care about most is of course something that can break the curse of the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

In this kind of situation, Lin Rong estimated that apart from the gods of this world, only the Acacia Heartbreak Red could break the curse of the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

However, Acacia Heartbreak Red is one of the two essential items for his martial soul avatar, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give it out to break the curse for the Ye family.

Originally, Lin Rong just wanted to give it a try, and did not choose to use the method just now.

The reason why he used the method just now was because he learned from the old housekeeper about Ye Wenxin's feelings for his mother.

This incident not only greatly increased Lin Rong's confidence in conquering the Ye family, but also gave him the confidence to take a risky move.

"Lin... Your Excellency the Duke." Ye Wenxin spoke with some discomfort. Although he expressed his submission, he still had some concerns in his heart, so he asked:
"Replacing the Xue family and becoming the new royal family is not an easy task."

"Do you have a well-thought-out and detailed plan?"

In this regard, Lin Rong said:
"You don't need to worry too much. I won't attack the royal family openly. The downfall of the royal family will be borne by others."

"I will only ascend to the Tiandou throne openly and honestly after the fall of the royal family and through the competition among the ten great families with my absolute strength."

"So you can rest assured."

"Besides, as a healing spirit master, you are not needed in the current situation."

"Your real stage will be on the battlefield in the future. Now, your most important task is to cultivate your soul power with all your strength and break through to the Soul Douluo realm as much as possible before the war comes."

As he spoke, Lin Rong took out a booklet containing Xuan Tian Gong and Zi Ji Demon Pupil and handed it to Ye Wenxin, explaining:

"There are two exercises in this booklet, one for cultivating soul power and one for cultivating mental power. You will know the specific effects after you practice."

"You can teach this method to your daughter, but you must remember it and remind her again and again not to reveal these two skills to others."

Ye Wenxin is 42 years old this year and a level 73 Soul Saint.

A Soul Saint in his early forties is already quite young in the world of Soul Masters.

The cultivation speed of auxiliary martial spirits is the slowest among all types of martial spirits.

As a healing martial soul in the auxiliary branch, the Nine-Hearted Begonia's cultivation speed is extremely slow.

Ye Wenxin was able to break through to level 70 at the age of 40, not only because he had an innate soul power of up to level 8.5.

After his father's death, the two family soul bones he inherited were also crucial to improving his qualifications.

According to his training speed, it would take at least ten years to break through to level 80.

Seeing that Lin Rong was so cautious about this so-called martial arts method, Ye Wenxin took the booklet and opened it to take a look. The tongue-twisting sentences in it made him feel a little dizzy as it was his first time reading the secret formula of the martial arts method.

Although he couldn't understand some of it, the profound mantra made him look forward to this so-called martial art more.

"By the way, I have something I want to ask you."

Lin Rong suddenly remembered that in the original novel, Tang Hao once mentioned that a Titled Douluo of the Healing Department had treated him but was unable to cure his injuries.

Logically speaking, a Titled Douluo, especially a Titled Douluo of the Healing Department, should be famous throughout the continent, but why is it that he has lived in this world for more than ten years, but no news about him has been heard at all?

So he asked:
"Legend has it that there is a Titled Douluo of the Healing Department in the world today."

"As a family with healing spirits, you should know something about this person."

This made Ye Wenxin frown. After thinking hard for a long time, he still had no idea and replied:

"Is there such a legend? Why have I never heard of it?"

"However, regardless of whether there is such a legend, there has never been a record of a Titled Douluo of the Auxiliary Department in the history of the continent, let alone a Titled Douluo of the Healing Department." "In terms of healing ability, the martial soul inherited by my family, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, is unique in healing, and no one can match its effect."

"It is no exaggeration to say that my Ye family is the strongest healing spirit master family on the continent. If it weren't for the martial spirit curse that has made the population sparse, the title of the world's number one auxiliary martial spirit would definitely belong to the Nine-Hearted Begonia."

"If there really has been a Titled Douluo of the Healing Department in this world, it can only be an ancestor of my Ye family."

“But I remember very clearly that among all the ancestors of my Ye family, the one with the highest cultivation level was only level 89 soul power, and was stuck at the soul power bottleneck of level 90 and could not break through the last step.”

After hearing this explanation, Lin Rong had an idea in mind and said casually:

"Is that so? Perhaps I heard it from some passer-by who was talking nonsense while I was driving through the streets."

"Come to think of it, there are only a few Titled Douluo in this world, how could there be an unknown Titled Douluo of the Healing Department?"

But in my heart I complained:
If such a simple method as cutting off one's own limbs and draining away the blood can cure Tang Hao's injuries, it is estimated that Ye Wenxin, who is at the Soul Sage level, can cure Tang Hao. How could a Titled Douluo of the Healing Department not be able to cure him?

In the original novel, the one Tang Hao met was probably a fake healing Titled Douluo, or maybe Tang Hao himself made up this imaginary existence.

Lin Rong shook his head speechlessly, dissipated his innate field, returned to his seat, and continued to enjoy the delicious food that was still warm on the table.

……

After finishing the meal, Lin Rong did not stay here for long. He left the manor with the old housekeeper and returned to the house they rented in Diandu City.

Top floor, third floor.

On the bed, Lin Rong sat cross-legged, practicing the Xisui Sutra to cultivate his soul power.

At this moment, two months had passed since he broke through level 60.

The soul power that was at the peak of level 64 two months ago has now been cultivated to the peak of level 65, and is almost able to break through to level 66.

"The breakthrough should happen in the next few days. The journey between Dian Capital and Yufeng City will take at least three days by carriage."

"Three days. This period of time is enough for me to break through my soul power to level 66."

"I remember that in the original novel, when Tang San faced Yang Wudi, his spirit power cultivation was also at level 66. What a coincidence."

"However, Tang San will already be twenty years old by then, and I still have nearly a month to go before I turn eleven."

"The Washing Marrow Sutra played an important role in creating such a huge gap with this big hanging wall."

"Moreover, after listening to Grandpa Yu's story about his relatives' past in this life last night, the bottleneck of the third realm of the Xisui Sutra, 'Hidden and Revealed to Save All Living Beings', actually shook a little."

"The text of the Xisui Sutra states that the prerequisite for reaching the state of 'hiding and revealing to save all living beings' is to cultivate one's own state to the point of freedom and unhinderedness."

“I couldn’t get to this point before, and I didn’t understand what I was missing.”

"Now it seems that because of my identity as a time traveler, I have always avoided knowing the affairs of my relatives in this life. How can I be truly free and unhindered?"

"Now, the reason why I cannot reach the bottleneck of the realm of 'Hidden and Revealed to Save All Living Beings' has been found. Breaking through this realm is only a matter of time."

……

The afternoon passed quickly.

Soon, in the evening.

As the sun set in the west, Yueguan and Guimei walked back, dragging two long shadows under their feet.

Because Lin Rong will leave Diandu City tomorrow, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei will return to the Spirit Hall to work undercover.

After that they would not be able to see each other for a long time.

Therefore, under Lin Rong's kind "persuasion", Yue Guan directly obtained the recognition of Dugu Bo and obtained the qualification to practice the unique skills.

As the standard three-piece set of the Tang Sect's six unique skills, Xuantian Gong, Ziji Demon Eye, and Ghost Shadow Mizong were naturally all taught to Yueguan Guimei.

Among them, the unique body movement skill "Ghost Shadow Mystery" has a very high degree of compatibility with ghosts and spirits. After obtaining the unique skill, you just need to briefly review it and you will be able to perform it in a similar manner.

Looking at the ghosts showing off their skills in front of Yue Guan, Lin Rong warned:

"Remember, before Tian Dou changes its master, try not to let Tang San see you know these things."

After hearing this, the ghost thought quickly and answered:

"Sir, is it because these unique skills come from the Tang Sect?"

Hearing this, Lin Rong nodded in affirmation.

Given Tang San's character, if he knew that the Tang Sect's unique skills had been leaked, he would definitely spend a lot of time to find out the truth.

This will greatly slow down this guy's training speed, and by then his soul power level will not be enough, and Tang San will not be qualified to compete with Qian Renxue.

Therefore, Lin Rong felt it was necessary to remind him of this matter, even though the probability of Yueguan and Guimei appearing in front of Tang San was very small.
