In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 138 This is why Lao Rong wasn't born on Douluo Continent (laughs)
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yin Lan, I am twelve years old, a level 72 Attack-type Weapon Soul Saint, and the daughter of 'Blue Silver Douluo' Blue Silver Emperor Yin Luo," Yin Lan's voice slowly rang out, striking their hearts. "Twelve years ago, Tang Hao provoked the Spirit Hall and only managed to save his life by abandoning his wife and daughter, which is me and my mother."

Soul Soul Soul... Soul Saint?! Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing's minds went blank. No wonder when the troupe was attacked before, the attackers were all killed in the blink of an eye while Zhu Zhuqing was talking to that Zhu family Soul King. Even that Soul King was killed by Sister Lan with a single finger!

But then, a few doubts arose in the two women's hearts. If they remembered correctly, they seemed to have seen Yinlan use a martial soul similar to Yinluo's that night...

Immediately afterwards, Yinlan raised her left hand again, and a Blue Silver Emperor with golden patterns, which was as black as jade crystal, was released at the same time. On the left side of her body, a red soul ring with four golden patterns also rose up, complementing the seven soul rings on the right side of Yinlan's body.

"I possess twin martial souls; I also have my mother's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul," Yin Lan stated succinctly.

...And she's a Soul Saint with twin martial souls! They're clearly the same age, but Sister Lan already has one foot in the ranks of the strong!
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she had seen this scene before, as if she had a sense of déjà vu. However, Bai Chenxiang, who came from the Min clan, reacted quickly. Her pupils shrank sharply, and almost as soon as Yin Lan finished speaking, she understood the cause and effect of everything.

"..." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yin Lan, then at Yin Luo, and finally at Qian Renxue, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Just say what you have to say,” Yinlan frowned when she saw her cautious look. “I genuinely consider you all as family. After knowing you for so long, don’t you understand my personality? You can throw away all that rubbish you learned at the Zhu family. Don’t try to play games with me.”

...That's true, Sister Lan isn't the kind of person I've met before. Seeing Yin Lan's expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt relieved, but still spoke cautiously, "I don't really understand, since you're that guy's daughter, Sister Lan, why did he suddenly attack us the day before yesterday?"

Moreover, what she couldn't understand the most was that, according to rumors in the Soul Master world, Tang Hao killed the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall twelve years ago, which led to him being wanted by the Spirit Hall. So how did Yin Luo and Yin Lan, mother and daughter, develop such a close relationship with the Spirit Hall? Is the Spirit Hall really so kind as to take care of the mother and daughter who killed their Pope?
"What you really want to ask is about my relationship with Lanlan, isn't it? You do know your limits and haven't said anything nonsense," Qian Renxue Alter sneered, seeing through her thoughts at a glance, and shook her head, "This is a long story, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. You'll find out later."

...That's why I didn't dare to ask, for fear of saying the wrong thing... Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"It's because of that Tang San, he also has twin martial souls," Bai Chenxiang answered Zhu Zhuqing's question for Yin Lan, her gaze shifting back and forth between Yin Lan's two martial souls, "That little black hammer he took out that day, it's the Clear Sky Hammer, Sister Lan, is he...?"

Of all those present, only Zhu Zhuqing was confused. Twin martial souls were extremely rare, and she genuinely didn't recognize Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul that day.

"Yes, Tang San is my blood brother, and you're also related to them. Otherwise, given my personality, I would have given them a good dressing down that day!" Yin Lan felt a bit aggrieved when she talked about this.

Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing's lips twitched. No wonder they didn't hear Sister Lan swearing that day; they thought she had toned down her temper.

Qianrenxue Alter frowned, then relaxed. Yinlan had mentioned Tang San to her before, but hadn't said much. She only knew that Yinlan called him a "typical member of the Tang family" and intended to deal with him personally. She always respected Yinlan's wishes, so she didn't interfere or do anything superfluous.

"As for the attack, I was just a baby twelve years ago. Do you think that bastard could recognize me?" Yin Lan activated her Blue Silver Domain in annoyance, and then released her mental power to create an image of a beautiful blue-haired woman. "As for my mother, twelve years ago she was just a quasi-Soul Saint who had not yet obtained her seventh Soul Ring. Look, this is what she looked like back then."

...Huh? Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing first looked at the gentle, elegant, blue-haired beauty, then at the cute silver-haired loli next to her, who seemed to be crying for a long time if she punched someone. They suddenly began to doubt their lives.

...Are these two really the same person?!
...Who could recognize this?!
"...Hmph," Yin Luo wrinkled her little nose and made a disdainful sound, which can be regarded as acknowledging Yin Lan's statement, "That guy probably thinks that my daughter and I died in the Spirit Hall's pursuit back then."

“My father also died because of his scheming back then.” “Qian Renxue Alter”’s eyes darkened. Although she had discovered through her secret investigations over the years that her father might not have been as “glorious and great” as he appeared to her, he was still her father and had contributed to some of the few happy times of her childhood.

Now, she only has a few guesses about what happened back then, and she still needs people who know the truth to admit to her that Qian Xunji did something despicable back then... But guesses are just guesses after all, and she doesn't want her guesses to come true before the truth comes out.

Regardless of the circumstances, Tang Hao's scheming did indeed become the cause of Qian Xunji's death.

...So, grandfathers, when will you be willing to tell me about what happened back then? "Qianrenxue·alter" silently looked at the courtyard built on the hillside next to her.

Over the years, as Qian Renxue grew older and matured, the worshippers became more aware that she seemed to have noticed something amiss. However, they remained tight-lipped and never mentioned the events of that year. No matter how Qian Renxue tried to subtly probe, they would pretend not to hear, as if they had deliberately failed to understand the implications of her words, hoping to delay as long as possible.

“So according to seniority, Bai He is indeed my great-uncle, and you are indeed my cousin,” Yin Lan glanced at Bai Chenxiang, “but in the past you colluded with the Haotian Sect, so I really can’t trust you. If it weren’t for a coincidence, you would have no connection with me, and I wouldn’t care whether you live or die.”

"Sister Lan, we..." Bai Chenxiang's face turned pale, and she wanted to explain that the loyalty of the four major clans with single attributes to the Haotian Sect back then was ultimately rewarded with betrayal and treachery. In any case, they had no second chance to make the same mistake.

"Don't say too much, prove it to me with your actions," Yinlan shook her head, interrupting her. "Since I've taken you in, I will definitely train you seriously. I hope your three clans know what's good for you and don't do anything that would embarrass both sides, or don't blame me for turning you all into pancakes with one hammer."

“…Yes!” Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing responded simultaneously.

"That's more like it. Without further ado, let's proceed with your cultivation arrangements." Yin Lan was satisfied with their reaction. She activated her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to generate two futons, gesturing for them to sit down. Then, she took out two Profound Water Pills and used her soul power to lift them up and float them towards the two. "First, let me briefly introduce this place. This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. It is the place where two powerful figures from my mother's clan fell. The powerful elemental forces within their remains interacted and countered each other, transforming this place into such a treasure land where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges," Yin Lan explained. "The cultivation speed here is at least twice as fast as outside!"

She pointed to the Frigid Yin Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring not far away and continued, "Be careful not to get close to those springs. Although the souls of those two powerful figures are still there, the elemental power in that place is too terrifying. Even ordinary Title Douluos cannot survive in it. If you accidentally fall into the water, you will probably be completely wiped out before those two can even react and rescue you."

Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing glanced over there with lingering fear, then nodded obediently.

They never expected this place to belong to Sister Lan. They thought it was the territory of the Spirit Hall. Could it be that Sister Lan's confidence in cooperating with the Spirit Hall stemmed from that mysterious "mother clan"? They glanced at Yinluo with a hint of curiosity.

It must be said that children from large families are quick-witted and almost guessed the truth.

"And then there are the plants here, most of which are highly poisonous. Don't touch them carelessly. The Blue Silver Grass will remind you to be careful, and you'll get used to it eventually." Yin Lan then pointed to the Blue Silver Grass swarm surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The two women glanced over again, and the next second they felt the same mental fluctuations they had experienced when they first arrived.

"Ciallo~(∠ω＜)⌒☆"

The two women nodded blankly.

"Finally, there's a courtyard on the mountainside next to us. That's where we usually live, and other people also live there, mostly titled Douluo. They're usually in seclusion. If you see them, just tell them your situation truthfully," Yin Lan said solemnly. Then she added, "There are still empty rooms there, which will be your living quarters in the future. But before that, you'll have to cultivate here with me for a few days."

"Now, take your Xuan Shui Pills, and then follow my guidance, remembering how my soul power flows through your meridians," Yin Lan also sat cross-legged beside the two, placing one hand on each of their backs. "From now on, use the cultivation method I taught you to cultivate your soul power, which will further improve your cultivation speed and add the characteristic of endless vitality to your soul power, strengthening your soul power endurance."

"Yes!" The two women obediently did as Yinlan said, and soon they entered a meditative state.

After a while, having guided the two and finished teaching the Xuan Tian Gong, Yin Lan got up from the ground and pondered for a moment.

As Zhu Zhuqing's situation was as she had expected, although she could sense that the other party was working very hard, her innate soul power of only level seven in the past still limited her too much. Now that she had consumed two Xuan Shui Pills, her talent had been raised to level nine of the innate realm, which made things look a bit better.

If this were the era of Douluo Continent II, the original Xuan Shui Dan would no longer have the effect of increasing innate soul power after the third pill, and would only have the effect of tempering the body. But unfortunately this is not the case. This thing is a product created by Yin Lan using the power of creation, combining the herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It is just called Xuan Shui Dan because its effect looks like Xuan Shui Dan. Yin Lan has not yet tested how many pills can be consumed before it becomes ineffective.

Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem for Zhu Zhuqing to transform herself into a person with innate full soul power by consuming the third "Mysterious Water Pill".

Compared to Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang is obviously more talented and doesn't need to take the third Xuan Shui Pill. She already has innate soul power close to level nine. It's just that Yin Lan's "perfectionist" mentality makes her want to give her the second pill to make up for her shortcomings.

The last thing is...

She looked to the side, where Qian Renxue, who had been silently protecting her, had reverted to her "classic skin," reverting to her blonde hair and blue eyes.

“Sister Xue’er, I said I would prepare a celestial herb for you back then, but it was postponed until today,” Yin Lan took out a jade box from the teardrop-shaped pendant around her neck. “This is an eighth-grade crystal blood dragon ginseng that I bought from the Min clan. As long as you nurture it in this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a period of time, you can break through to the ninth grade. When you take it, it may be possible to create a demigod body for you.”

This is what the original narration says, but Yinlan wasn't sure if it would actually work, because the narration said that what could forge a demigod's body was "Acacia Heartbreak Red," and the medicinal power and effects of "Grade 8 Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng" were exactly the same as Acacia Heartbreak Red, so they could complement each other.

Although the narrator said so, Yinlan didn't feel that the so-called "demigod body" in the original work had any real value. In the era of Douluo Continent I, Xiao Wu was still a weakling after her resurrection, still just Tang San's accessory. In the era of Douluo Continent II, Lao Huo picked one and fed it to Wang Dong'er, while he himself had another one picked by a mythical beast and used it to keep himself alive, but he still didn't see anything special about it. In the era of Douluo Continent III, it was even more comical. This thing couldn't heal her cheap nephew Tang Wulin, whose heart had been pierced by the Abyss Saint King. It was Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline that finally worked its magic and saved him.

In addition, this flower is truly somewhat bewitching... all those who have had a relationship with this flower have experienced a "life-and-death tragic love affair," and none of them have had a good ending, which makes Yinlan really unwilling to come into contact with this immortal herb.

Moreover, she is an emotional person, and it is highly unlikely that she will gain the approval of this thing. This thing is formed from the power of the God of Love in that ditch. What kind of heavyweight is the God of Love? Please watch the Qiankun Asking Love Valley VCR (laughs). It is a place of inheritance that requires the sacrifice of an innocent couple in love to open (laughs).

This is why Rong Nianbing wasn't born in Douluo Continent. Yin Lan dares to say that if Lao Rong, who hadn't yet become a god, had entered Qiankun Wenqing Valley, he would have been in big trouble (laughs). His fate wouldn't have been much better than Lao Huo's (laughs).
