Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 60 A Promise from the Jiuxin Haitang Family

Zhu Zhuqing and Ling Qianyao exchanged a glance and said, "Of course, we are classmates. If there is anything you need help with, just let us know and we will do our best."

"Forehead"

Dugu Yan coughed lightly and continued, "The thing is, my martial soul evolved because of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.

Before this, I actually didn’t know that my Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul had a hereditary toxin problem. I thought that my emerald green eyes and nails were due to the same physical changes that other soul masters experienced after awakening their martial souls.

Grandpa told me the whole story, so I wonder if Qianyao knows the properties and uses of many magical herbs.

Although Lingling's martial soul does not have the same body erosion as our Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul, it has a curse-like situation in its inheritance.

Although the Nine-Hearted Begonia is known as a miracle among martial spirits, it is a single-line inheritance. There can only be two Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit masters alive at the same time, and only when one dies can another appear in the offspring.

We want to know the situation of Lingling's martial spirit inheritance and whether there is a magical herb that can solve it."

Ling Qianyao was silent for a moment after hearing this.

It's not that he hasn't considered this matter. It's just that as the top healing spirit in Douluo Continent, the Nine-Hearted Begonia's extreme healing ability is likely the reason why the spirit itself contains a blood curse.

Just like the owner of a martial soul with ultimate attributes, before becoming a Soul Saint, because the ultimate attributes have extremely high requirements for the human body, the martial soul will consume a lot of soul power gained from cultivation in the process of subtly improving the soul master's physique, causing the cultivation speed to slow down significantly.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia's absolute healing ability comes at the cost of bloodline withering, which is similar to the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth.

On the other hand, it is possible that the martial soul has not yet completely broken through the shackles of life attributes, similar to Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao's incomplete mutation and Jiuxin Begonia's incomplete evolution.

Ling Qianyao's considerations for the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul are based on these two aspects.

The curse problem of the Nine-Hearted Begonia and the martial soul defect problem of the Green Phosphorus Snake are not the same.

The only way to solve the problem is to purify the curse and guide the martial soul to evolve to rewrite the bloodline rules, immortal grass, or do the same as Zhu Qing.
The Qiluo Tulip, which commands the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, and the next-level Eight-petaled Immortal Orchid, which strengthens the body but may not be of much use. These are the magical herbs that Ling Qianyao speculated might be of some use to Ye Lingling.

There is another one, which is located far in the extreme north. Ten thousand years later, the Snow Empress had a premonition that she would not be able to break through the next heavenly tribulation, so she used it as a guide to seal her own origin, a hundred thousand year old snow lotus.

That snow lotus, as a spiritual creature between heaven and earth, contains the pure essence of heaven and earth. It can help soul masters purify impurities in their blood and improve the purity of their blood.

At the same time, as an existence that can carry the origin of the Snow Emperor who has cultivated for 700,000 years, this snow lotus undoubtedly has special effects on soul power and martial soul origin.

These two effects coincide with the situation faced by the Nine-Hearted Begonia. Considering this aspect, the help this snow lotus can provide to Ye Lingling is likely to be the greatest among all the existing immortal herbs, and it is the one that has the greatest hope of helping her martial soul transform.

Moreover, for ordinary people, only one plant of magical herb can be taken.

Ling Qianyao glanced at Ye Lingling.

The other person was no different from before, dressed in black, with a slim figure, and a black veil on her face, revealing only her clear eyes.

But now, in those cold eyes, there is an emotion called "expectation" flickering.

Ling Qianyao pondered for a long time before shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Lingling. Currently, I haven't found any magical herbs that can completely solve your martial spirit problem. However, I will always keep an eye out for other magical herbs or methods that may help you."

He felt that there was no need to rush into this curse; it wouldn't be too late to resolve it later, once he had some control over the future. Ye Lingling's eyes dimmed slightly, and she nodded gently, "Hmm." There was no trace of complaint or frustration in her tone.

Dugu Yan became a little anxious upon hearing this and asked anxiously, "Qian Yao, is that true? My grandfather said that there are many herbs in the medicine garden left for me as a dowry that he doesn't recognize. Maybe you didn't remember them all? Do you want me to take you to take another look?"

Ling Qianyao shook his head.

"This..." Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with anxiety and helplessness. She looked at Ye Lingling, then turned to look at Ling Qianyao, as if she wanted to say something else.

At this time, Ye Lingling gently pulled Dugu Yan's sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more.

She said softly, "Yanyan, don't be like this. Qianyao said he would always keep an eye on it, and I believe him. Besides, the problem with my martial soul didn't just appear in my generation, and solving it won't be achieved overnight. Just take it slow."

Ye Lingling's voice was pleasant to the ear, but it also sounded a bit hollow.

"Okay." Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling helplessly.

Ye Lingling nodded slightly towards Ling Qianyao, and then, in front of everyone's surprised gaze, she took off the veil on her face.

"Lingling, you?" Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling in surprise, her eyes full of confusion.

Beneath the veil lies a delicate and beautiful face, with a cool and noble look between her eyebrows. Although not stunningly beautiful, her eyes, combined with her beauty, elevate Ye Lingling's appearance and temperament to a higher level.

"I wear a veil simply because that's my personality. When I wear a veil, I try to hide my presence.

But now, I have something to ask of Qianyao-san, so I should face everyone with the most sincere face."

At this point, Ye Lingling said to Ling Qianyao, "Yanyan said that you know a lot of knowledge. Since you ask for something from others, you should give something in return.

Although we are classmates, the affection between us is not yet to the point where we would help each other for free."

"Student Ling Qianyao, if you can help our Nine Heart Begonia family solve the problem of martial spirits in the future, then the Nine Heart Begonia family is willing to serve you for the rest of your life.

This is not just my personal promise, it is also what the elders in the clan asked me to convey."

"W-what?" Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling in disbelief. "Lingling, are you family serious about this? This is too..."

A lifetime of service. As long as Ling Qianyao is alive, the Jiuxin Haitang family will always stand behind him.

For the soul master world, it is very clear what this world's number one healing spirit represents. Because of the healing ability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, her family is almost unanimously protected by the soul master world.

Everyone present knew very well what it meant to have such a family standing behind them.

Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing were also somewhat shocked by Ye Lingling's words.

Ye Lingling's lips curled up for a moment, "Don't be surprised, for our family, nothing is more important than resolving the issue of martial spirit inheritance.

Moreover, I can also see the intention of my family. This is also an 'investment' from the elders of the clan."
