Douluo II: The nanny is killing people indiscriminately!

Chapter 56 Heart knot
Besides, Jing Hongchen treated her very well, took care of her in everything, and devoted top-notch resources to her. She didn't want to change to a better teacher.

"Good boy, the teacher won't let you make the wrong choice."

Lian Chen responded softly, "Yes, by the way, teacher, Uncle Xu gave Qingfeng Douluo to me as a bodyguard. Can he enter and leave Mingde Hall at will?"

"Okay." Jing Hongchen agreed readily. As both of them worked for His Majesty, he and Feng Xun had some friendship.

This person knows when to act and when to retreat, knows what to do and what not to do, and has decent strength, so he is perfect for being Xiao Chen's bodyguard.

The door of the study was slightly ajar. The Hongchen brothers and sisters leaned on both sides of the door, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

Lian Chen left the study, Meng Hongchen took her arm and walked towards the practice room, Xiao Hongchen followed behind.

"Ah Chen, don't be fooled by Grandpa's generosity. He can't bear to part with such a good disciple like you." Meng Hongchen said with a smile, and then her tone suddenly changed. She frowned and said, "My brother and I were so worried yesterday, fearing that you would be snatched away by Master Kong."

Lian Chen ruffled her hair: "Don't you trust me?"

Xiao Hongchen interrupted at this time: "Meng, you worry about your own things, but don't take me with you."

His eyes looked away uncomfortably, and when Meng Hongchen turned his head, he saw the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Meng Hongchen said "Oh" meaningfully: "Well, I thought brother liked Ah Chen as much as I did. It turns out that I misunderstood. Brother doesn't like Ah Chen."

"I didn't..." Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth to explain, but Meng Hongchen didn't give him a chance and jogged forward with Lian Chen.

"Come on, Ah Chen, let's stop getting in our brother's way and go back to practice."

Looking at the backs of the two, Xiao Hongchen stood there and muttered, "Where did I say I don't like her?"

He has a very subtle attitude towards Lian Chen. They will have the martial soul fusion technique in the future. Apart from his grandfather and sister, Lian Chen will be the person closest to him.

Friend? Comrade? Or...

Xiao Hongchen's world is very clean, with only cultivation and soul guides. The sudden appearance of a strange character of the opposite sex makes him feel at a loss for a moment, and he subconsciously avoids him.

He needs time to adapt.

In the afternoon, the large quantity of medicinal materials purchased by Lian Chen was delivered to Mingde Hall. The servants moved them into her pharmaceutical laboratory and arranged them neatly.

After dinner in the evening, Lian Chen went up to the laboratory on the third floor. He smelled the herbs to identify their types, memorized their positions, and weighed and dispensed the medicines.

The silver-haired boy leaned against the door frame, looked at Lian Chen for a while, and then walked in.

As he heard footsteps approaching, Lian Chen stopped smelling the herbs and asked politely, "What can I do for you?"

Xiao Hongchen was silent for a few seconds, then spoke awkwardly: "I came here to say... I don't dislike you."

Lian Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I know, Xiao Meng was just joking."

"Oh." Xiao Hongchen of course knew that Meng Hongchen was joking. He was worried that Lian Chen would misunderstand.

"Are you preparing medicine? Do you need help?"

"Thank you very much. Please help me get the medicine and weigh it." Lian Chen said, making way and handing him the prescription and the small scale.

Xiao Hongchen read the contents of the prescription and asked, "What is this prescription?"

Lian Chen was familiar with the positions of various medicinal materials, and replied: "This is a prescription that is beneficial for cleansing the tendons and marrow, and tempering the physique. It can be used for soaking in a medicinal bath. You and Xiao Meng can also soak in it every day. It will help you absorb soul rings beyond your limit in the future." Xiao Hongchen didn't care: "The Seven Ding Alchemy Association has a kind of elixir that can also help soul masters absorb soul rings beyond their limit."

The Qiding Alchemy Association is the most powerful alchemy association in the Sun-Moon Empire, and is jointly protected and supported by the royal family and Mingde Hall. The Soul-Replenishing Pill comes from their hands.

Although the age of the Hongchen brothers and sisters' soul rings is not as exaggerated as Lian Chen's, who absorbed two levels more, they also absorbed beyond the limit by taking the elixirs from the Seven Ding Alchemy Association.

"It's different. The number of years a soul master can bear the soul rings depends on the strength of the body. Taking elixirs to achieve super-limit soul ring absorption is only a one-time effect, while insisting on taking medicinal baths and combining it with daily combat training can improve the physical fitness and strengthen the soul master himself. Most importantly, it has no side effects."

Xiao Hongchen straightened his expression and asked, "Are there any side effects?"

"Yes."

"Then by taking this medicinal bath, can I absorb soul rings of higher levels like you did?" Xiao Hongchen looked at Lian Chen expectantly.

Lian Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It's difficult to do it in a short period of time, but if you persist for many years, it won't be a problem."

A cluster of enthusiasm ignited in his blue-green eyes, and Xiao Hongchen was inspired: "Then I will try it later!"

A month's vacation passed in a flash, and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy started a new semester.

Last semester, Xuan Ziwen made a freeze dryer, and Lian Chen started researching a drug formula that could help Titled Douluo increase their soul power.

When a soul master reaches the strength of a Titled Douluo, his realm has entered another watershed, and each subsequent level of strength will require more and more soul power.

The talent of a soul master is also one of the factors that determine the speed of cultivation. When the soul power level approaches the limit of talent, it will be more difficult to improve the soul power.

The medicinal use of Fire Coral is to burn soul power, causing it to boil and speed up its operation, thus breaking through the limitations of talent. The medicinal effect is violent and fierce, and the damage caused to the body is also difficult to reverse.

The existing cultivation medicines containing fire coral ingredients on the market are only effective for soul masters below the Soul Emperor level. For those above the Soul Emperor level, it is difficult to "ignite" the soul power with the medicinal power of ordinary fire coral.

The medicinal power of the Ten Thousand Year Fire Coral, let alone "igniting" the soul power of a Titled Douluo, is probably enough to burn a person to ashes.

Lian Chen continued to improve the prescription during the experiment. Based on the principle of neutralizing warmth and cold, she added many cold-natured natural treasures, but still failed to achieve a state of mutual balance with the Ten Thousand Years Fire Coral.

In the past six months, countless attempts at soul fusion have ended in failure. Xiao Hongchen asked her a question very seriously: "What should I do to make you trust me?"

Lian Chen pursed her lips and said nothing. She didn't know the answer to this question.

Since that day, the relationship between the two people became obviously much more distant. Jing Hongchen saw it and asked Xiao Hongchen privately what had happened.

Xiao Hongchen talked about the problem of martial soul fusion, looking irritable and depressed.

Jing Hongchen sighed and patted his shoulder: "Xiao, I don't know much about Xiaochen's past, but her reluctance to trust you may be related to her blindness. How can a knot that can cause blindness be untied in just half a year?"

"Heart knot?" In Xiao Hongchen's eyes, Lian Chen was a girl who was so gentle that she almost had no temper. She had never mentioned her past. Although she was blind, it did not affect their battles and daily actions, so he often ignored this matter.

Lian Chen hid it too deeply, and Xiao Hongchen could not see what kind of knot was hidden in her heart.

His irritability and depression slowly dissipated, and he said calmly: "I understand, Grandpa."

　Thank you for the reward from Dong'an Xiaobao~
