Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 70 Ye Lingling's Crash Course: Teaching the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus Technique
"Teacher, is it true that you said you could help me solve the problem of martial soul inheritance?"

"My martial soul, Nine Hearts Begonia, has an inherent flaw—each generation can only have one inheritor. At the same time, there can only be two Nine Hearts Begonia soul masters alive. Only when one dies can another one appear in the next generation."

"Actually, I have no intention of developing and expanding my family like other inheritors of martial spirits. That's something I wouldn't even dare to think about. I just don't want my family and my future descendants to sacrifice themselves because of the birth of a newborn."

As the peach blossoms swayed in the wind, Ye Lingling had the opportunity to speak alone with Teacher Su Ran. She looked at that aloof and independent figure and spoke.

She knew that the teacher had called her in privately most likely because it was related to her cultivation and martial spirit.

As she finished speaking, a hint of sadness flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes.

Because of the rarity of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, in order to ensure that future generations can successfully inherit the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, once a family member becomes pregnant, the older generation of Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul owners will choose to end their own lives.

Ye Lingling was born, and her grandmother buried herself in a yellow earthen grave.

When her granddaughter is born, she will follow the same path, and the cycle will continue.

In ordinary families, a newborn represents vitality and is a joyous occasion.

For those with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, the arrival of a newborn often means the imminent death of an elder.

"It seems, Ling Xiaoqi, you still don't trust your teacher."

Su Ran smiled faintly.

"No...no, I believe you, teacher."

"What I don't believe in is my martial spirit. We have always been this way, and it has never changed."

Ye Lingling's words conveyed a great deal of helplessness and heartache.

"Ugh."

Su Ran also sighed. He understood the cruelty of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, which was even more cruel than the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have extended the only olive branch he could to Ye Lingling at the Soto City Grand Arena.

"God opened a window for the Nine Heart Begonia, but also closed a door."

"The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has extremely strong healing power, and it can also achieve large-scale healing of the group. Perhaps it is because its healing power is too strong that it needs to devour the lives of its clansmen to nourish them and prevent the begonia flowers from withering after blooming."

There are actually two ways to solve this problem.

After Su Ran finished speaking, Ye Lingling was shocked. "Teacher, is there really a way?"

And there are two ways!

"That's right, but both of these methods require a huge price to pay."

Su Ran nodded: "The first method is to fight fire with fire, and cure with cure. The Nine-Heart Begonia is actually a Celestial-grade Martial Soul. As long as it is continuously fed with Celestial-grade flowers and herbs that also have powerful healing abilities, the number of Soul Masters who possess the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul can be increased from two to three, then four..."

"Immortal-grade flowers and herbs? These shouldn't be ordinary things, right?" Ye Lingling had only a vague understanding and had no concept of immortal-grade flowers and herbs.

"A single celestial flower is priceless."

Su Ran used a single sentence to make Ye Lingling understand the preciousness of the immortal flowers and herbs.

"Priceless... that's too precious, and it requires a constant supply of celestial flowers and herbs to feed on. Even emperors couldn't afford that, right? No wonder my ancestors couldn't solve the problem of martial soul inheritance."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's disappointment was obvious. Even if she was lucky enough to find a healing immortal herb to absorb and solve her martial soul problem, what about her descendants? What about her relatives? Could they still afford to support them?

"That's right. Feeding the plants with healing flowers is extremely expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"However, you don't need to be disappointed, there is a second way."

"If the second method succeeds, you will essentially evolve your Martial Soul into its second form, possessing both healing and offensive capabilities. Furthermore, this method can be passed down as a core cultivation technique exclusive to your Martial Soul, ensuring peace and security for future generations. However… while cultivating this method, you will also endure immense suffering. The pain is akin to having your bones ripped out, your tendons pulled out, or being sliced ​​into a thousand pieces. Even offensive Soul Masters cannot endure it, and you are a delicate support-type…"

"Teacher, please tell me. No matter how much pain it is, I am willing to learn. No matter how much physical pain I feel, it is not as painful as losing a loved one."

Ye Lingling nodded and said that compared to constantly feeding her with immortal-grade flowers and herbs that she could not bear, this second method only involved physical pain and could even bring about the evolution of her martial soul. Even if it meant being cut into a thousand pieces, she was willing to try it.

"Think it through. This method is the core cultivation of the Martial Soul. If you give up halfway, not only will you fail to complete the evolution of your Martial Soul, but you may also suffer irreversible damage. Once you start cultivating it, you cannot stop."

Su Ran glanced at Ye Lingling again. Cultivation was not something to be taken lightly.

"I'll train!"

Meeting Su Ran's gaze, Ye Lingling's clear eyes were resolute. She had already missed one opportunity; this time, she chose to trust her teacher.

As long as the teacher dares to teach, she dares to learn!
"Very well, this method is called: Nine-Turn Black Lotus."

"The cultivation of this method is also extremely cruel. It requires you to peel off the petals of your Nine Heart Begonia bit by bit... replicate... transform it. This process is extremely painful until you finally evolve a complete companion Nine-Turn Black Lotus."

"The effects of the Nine-Turn Black Lotus are completely opposite to those of the Nine-Heart Begonia. The Nine-Heart Begonia has a powerful healing ability, while the Nine-Turn Black Lotus has a terrifying life-plundering ability and destructive power. The amount of life force that the Nine-Heart Begonia can heal is the same amount that it can plunder. The plundered life force can be fed back to the Nine-Heart Begonia. It is precisely because of this that it can suppress the heritability of the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul."

A jet-black lotus flower appeared in Su Ran's palm. This was the black lotus he had evolved from the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. Although it had not yet been cultivated to its complete form, it was already filled with a chillingly destructive vitality.

It was precisely because Su Ran had already experienced the pain that she repeatedly asked Ye Lingling if she was willing to learn.

The pain of peeling away the petals and reversing the process is no less than peeling off scales and pulling out tendons; it is something that ordinary people cannot endure.

Just as the black lotus bloomed, a black lotus heart floated into Ye Lingling's palm, unfolding to reveal the cultivation method of the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus.

"Although the Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and you are the weakest in the team, this method requires concentration and gradual progress, so there is no need for you to rush."

"I also have a ninth-grade lotus heart here. After you absorb it, it can be used as the lotus heart of the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus. Although it can't bring you much improvement in soul power for the time being, it can alleviate the pain of re-carving your martial soul attributes and make the process of condensing the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus smoother."

Su Ran said:

"In addition, I have a basic ultimate skill here - Soul Absorption Technique, which I can teach you to help support Soul Masters in self-defense, but you need to strengthen your own mental power before you can use it."

"Once mastered, it can control souls and bewitch people, attracting their spirits and captivating their souls."

"By combining this Silver-Veined Soul-Nourishing Grass with your cultivation, you can achieve rapid progress, allowing you to reach a minor level of mastery within a month."

Su Ran gave Ye Lingling two of his unique martial arts skills along with two second-grade immortal flowers and herbs.

Ye Lingling looked at Su Ran, tears welling in her eyes, and was almost speechless:

"T-Teacher, am I dreaming?"

Is this Taoyuan Academy?
Is this Teacher Su Ran?

She just enrolled... and they're already giving her this kind of thing?

What Teacher Su Ran is teaching her now is probably far more valuable than even the prize money for winning the Soul Master Competition.

This is a technique that can allow their Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul to evolve, freeing them from their destiny, and also granting support-type Soul Masters the ability to protect themselves and attack.

She finally understood why Ning Rongrong, a support-type Soul Master, was so tanky and strong.

Ye Lingling was overwhelmed with emotion, so much so that she even squeezed out some honey from the crabapple syrup...
