Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

He did have a good relationship with Ye Lingling's family, or more accurately, he had a good relationship with Ye Lingling's maternal grandfather.

Perhaps because both of their martial souls have flaws, they are both looking for a solution. Dugu Bo had previously sought help from the Ye family, but unfortunately, although the Nine Heart Begonia is a powerful healing martial soul, it doesn't have a good solution for martial soul poison.

But it must be said that he did indeed owe the Ye family a favor.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo turned to Lin Chuan and said, "Little monster, I would also like to ask if you can fix the flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia?"

"Well... I don't know either."

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Chuan gently shook his head.

The Nine-Heart Begonia is a support-type martial soul. Unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which can provide comprehensive amplification, the Nine-Heart Begonia can only provide healing.

Even so, this martial soul is still very powerful. Even Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, praised the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul as a miracle, which is enough to show just how terrifying this martial soul's support capabilities are.

Of course, the defects of the nine-hearted begonia are also very obvious.

First, there is no antidote; second, severed fingers cannot regenerate, but limb replantation is possible.

Simply put, if a limb is severed by a sharp weapon, as long as the limb is not damaged, the Nine-Heart Begonia can reattach it.

However, the most serious drawback is that each generation of this martial soul can only have one inheritor.

Only two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters can be alive at the same time. When a new Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul appears, the older one will die.

This can be considered a limitation of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, or perhaps a curse!

"Even Xiao Chuan, you can't do it?"

Dugu Yan's expression changed; she clearly hadn't expected this.

Lin Chuan smiled helplessly, "Yanzi, you overestimate me. You and Senior Dugu were poisoned, which is not difficult to resolve. But the Nine Heart Begonia has a problem with its martial soul itself, which is something I can't help with."

There are only two fixed Soul Masters for the Nine-Hearted Begonia, which doesn't seem quite normal.

This reminded Lin Chuan of the Eastern Spirit Clan from a certain world.

Similarly possessing bloodline power, a mother can pass on all her power to her offspring, losing all her own power but not dying.

Furthermore, the descendants of Nuwa in the world of Chinese Paladin are normally immortal, but they lose this ability after giving birth to offspring and eventually die of old age.

The three cases are similar; they all seem to stem from problems within the bloodline.

Lin Chuan can use pills to evolve some special martial souls, but he cannot change their essence for the time being.

"Young Lin, how about we evolve the Nine-Heart Begonia?"

Dugu Bo, reflecting on his own situation, proposed another solution.

"I'm not sure either. After all, Ye Lingling is different from you and Yanzi. The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd contains dragon blood, which can catalyze the evolution of snakes, but the Nine Heart Begonia doesn't have that condition."

"I may need to do some research before I can give an answer."

Lin Chuan didn't give a definitive answer, after all, martial spirits involve bloodlines and are more complicated than imagined.

Of course, this is the official explanation. In private, it is probably not a problem to refine pills with various medicinal herbs to evolve the Nine Heart Begonia. The only problem is that Lin Chuan cannot solve the defects of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul while preserving it.

Having said all that, Dugu Bo finally understood the implication.

“Young Lin, I’m not forcing you to do anything. It’s just that the old man from the Ye family who married into the family has some connections with me, and he’s a man of great loyalty and righteousness.”

"If you can really solve the problem of the Nine Heart Begonia, you can use it as a bargaining chip to win over the Ye family. Although the Nine Heart Begonia has no offensive power, it is quite powerful in healing."

Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, chimed in.

"Yes, Xiao Chuan, Lingling's martial spirit is incredibly powerful. With her around, even if you wanted to die, you couldn't. If you can, please help her!"

That statement makes perfect sense.

The Nine-Heart Begonia has many flaws, but its strengths outweigh its weaknesses. Its powerful healing effects are enough to cover up its shortcomings of not being able to detoxify and lacking other auxiliary abilities.

"In addition, Lingling said that she is also willing to transfer to Tianshui College."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan's expression immediately became very strange.

Good grief, so you're just trying to fleece one college, huh?

The first team of Tiandou Royal Academy was already in a bad situation. Their instructor ran away with Shrek Academy, their control-type soul master went to Tianshui Academy, and now their support-type soul master is also leaving.

A feeling of pity immediately arose in Lin Chuan's heart.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, what a miserable situation!

If it weren't for the backing of the Heavenly Dou Empire, which would guarantee one of the two teams a spot in the finals, the departure of their two key players would likely have made it difficult to even pass the preliminaries.

It must be admitted that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's words made a lot of sense.

The healing ability of the Nine-Heart Begonia is indeed very powerful. Even though Lin Chuan has a lot of healing pills, he cannot compare with it in terms of recovery speed. Having a Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master by his side would undoubtedly be a great guarantee.

After a quick thought, Lin Chuan smiled and nodded.

"Alright, for the sake of Senior Dugu and Yanzi, I can give it a try. But let me make it clear beforehand, it's not guaranteed to solve the problem. It's best to let Ye Lingling be mentally prepared."

Sometimes, even if you can do something, you can't act too casually, otherwise others will think it's not a big deal and won't take it seriously.

Whether or not one needs favors is another matter, but they are essential.

“Great, I’ll have Lingling come over in a couple of days.”

Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy, happy for her good friend, but of course, she also had her own little thoughts.

However, this is something that cannot be told to others for the time being.

Lin Chuan did not refuse, but tacitly agreed.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest early tonight!"

After finishing their business, Dugu Bo and Lin Chuan got up one after the other. After saying goodnight to Dugu Yan, they left the girl's room together.

"Young Lin, then this old man will also go back to rest."

Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, about to speak, when he suddenly realized something, his expression darkened, and he turned to look to his left. Dugu Bo next to him did the same.

"How dare a rat come here to touch this old man's place!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and prepared to rush out.

"Senior, calm down. It might be a diversionary tactic." Lin Chuan quickly pulled Dugu Bo back to prevent the latter from rushing out in a moment of impulsiveness.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo instantly calmed down.

My own granddaughter is here too. I don't know what those guys in the shadows are up to, but it's best to be cautious.

"Humph!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure immediately spread out.

Seemingly realizing they had been discovered, the uninvited guests outside did not linger and disappeared without hesitation.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo withdrew his soul power fluctuations, but his expression was very solemn.

"There are actually Title Douluos in Heaven Dou City, and they're here specifically for me. Could they be from the Spirit Hall?"

Lin Chuan was also surprised that Dugu Bo guessed the truth so easily.

This aura was the same one he had sensed at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy during the day. He just hadn't expected the other party to sneak here under the cover of darkness. Wasn't he afraid of being exposed?

"Lin boy, you and Yan Yan should not leave Tiandou City these few days. After we meet the Ye family, we will return to Tianshui Academy."

The appearance of an unfamiliar Title Douluo in Heaven Dou City is clearly abnormal.

Since you can't figure out the other party's intentions, it's best to stay away.

"Okay!" Lin Chuan nodded, naturally not refusing.

At this stage, he does not intend to have too much contact with Qian Renxue. He neither wants to expose Qian Renxue's identity nor will he take the initiative to help the Spirit Hall. As long as she does not provoke him, that would be the best outcome.

However, this is often just wishful thinking; it's not so easy to remain unaffected.

……

Prince's Mansion.

After learning how to handle state affairs from Emperor Xueye, Xue Qinghe returned to his room, entered the secret chamber, and reverted to his original appearance.

She had to pretend to be someone else every day, and only at night could she find a moment of peace. This kind of life was very uncomfortable, but for the sake of the Spirit Hall's grand plan, Qian Renxue was willing to do it!

"Uncle Cixue, is Uncle She back?"

After resting for a while, Qian Renxue suddenly spoke.

"Not yet, but it should be soon." Ci Xue's figure appeared behind Qian Renxue, responding with a buzzing sound.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another figure entered the secret room.

"Little Lord!"

Qian Renxue immediately perked up, "Uncle She, how is it?"

"I have followed your orders, young master, and have already sent people to Tianshui Academy. I also went to the old poison master's mansion in Tiandou City just now, but I was discovered before I even entered."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression instantly changed.

"Uncle She, has your identity been exposed?"

Serpent Spear Douluo shook his head, "Not yet. The old poison master is very cautious and hasn't chased after us. However, we can confirm that besides Dugu Yan, there is another young man with him."
