In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Chapter 104 The Mystery of Time Travel (Part 1)

"What is it?" Ye Lingling's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Never mind, you'll know after you refine it, but I guarantee the benefits you gain will be no less than Zhu Qing's. Remember, when consuming it, this flower must not be swallowed. You must gently inhale the stamen, slowly absorbing its essence into your body, and then cultivate your soul power slowly, allowing the medicinal effects to spread throughout your limbs and bones." Lan Si sighed softly, ultimately not saying anything more. In the original story, Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after consuming the Qiluo Tulip, breaking the family's lifelong restriction that martial souls could not break through level eighty.

While the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul does not enhance the soul power imprisonment, it has an even greater drawback.

That is, a single line of succession.

The Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul is extremely rare, with only one inheritor per generation.

Only two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters can be alive at the same time. Only if one dies can a successor emerge in the next generation.

While they acquire powerful healing-type martial souls, they are often accompanied by immense pain from losing loved ones.

Ye Lingling's grandmother, who was also Lan Si's maternal grandmother and the previous owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, chose to end her own life so that Ye Lingling could awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

Similarly, Ye Lingling's great-grandfather did the same thing, ending his own life so that Ye Renxin's generation could awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul and pass it on.

Someday in the future, perhaps when Ye Lingling grows up, becomes capable of standing on her own, has her own child, and that child is about to awaken her martial soul.

In order to pass on the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, Ye Renxin might also choose to do so.

Because the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is the foundation of their family's heritage. For this, every generation of the Nine Heart Begonia family has paid a huge price.

That's why Ye Lingling was so lonely and aloof before she met Lan Si. She had no friends, didn't like to talk, and was always alone. This was because she had witnessed the death of her loved ones when she was young, and she didn't want to experience or feel that helplessness of life and death again. She was afraid that she would be unable to change her situation again, just like last time.

She chose to close herself off emotionally, believing that if she had never possessed something, she wouldn't have to worry about losing it.

It wasn't until she met Lan Si, a gifted relative by blood, that she gradually opened up her long-sealed heart.

"Thank you, A-Si." Seeing Lan Si's hesitant expression, Ye Lingling seemed to sense something, and her beautiful eyes glistened with tears.

She took the Qiluo Tulip, staring intently at Lan Si. To Lan Si's astonishment, she tiptoed and kissed his lips. Then, blushing, she turned away and sat down in another corner of the room without looking back. With her back to Lan Si, she sat cross-legged and began refining the immortal herb.

Looking at Ye Lingling's beautiful figure with her back to him, Lan Si was slightly stunned. He touched his slightly moist lips and showed a look of astonishment on his face. Had Ye Lingling kissed him? And it was a forced kiss without any warning.

Most importantly, the kiss was on the lips.

This is... this is so exciting! I can't believe such a good thing exists!

However, it's best to play dumb this time, otherwise Ye Lingling will be in danger if Qian Renxue finds out.

Lan Si looked at Ye Lingling again, then at Zhu Zhuqing, sighed softly, and then took out the Longing Dew from his Qiankun bag. He sat cross-legged on the spot and began to refine it.

............

He didn't know how much time had passed when Lan Si slowly opened his eyes. He found himself back in the dark space he had entered when refining the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot. The surroundings were pitch black, and what appeared to be a green lotus, several meters tall, growing on a bronze-green plate, was lying beneath him.

"What is happening to me?" Lan Si subconsciously tried to get up, but found herself extremely weak, making it very difficult to even stand up.

Just then, a familiar, ethereal voice suddenly echoed in the void, "Your soul is still very weak. I advise you not to move rashly."

"Who are you? Where am I? Why did you bring me here?" Lan Si was startled and hurriedly shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless light screens rose up below the green lotus, rotating around Lan Si like a carousel.

"This is..." Lan Si looked at it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was shocked to find that the light screen directly in front of him was the scene when he was being chased by the Bad Commander in his previous life.

He was then forced to jump off a cliff. Just as he was about to die, a lotus flower with roots on a bronze-green plate emerged from his body, carrying his soul into the void.

The scene shifts to a young couple's wedding night. At the moment the newlyweds complete their great fetus creation, the blue lotus sends Lan Si's soul into the bride's womb, where it merges with the embryo to form a brand new life that thrives within the bride until birth.

The blue lotus, however, was immersed in the dark space inside the baby's body, losing its original light.

The scene shifts again to a magnificent, cloud-shrouded palace. A towering figure clad in blood-red armor stands before a screen of light. Within the screen, a naked young man leaps off a cliff. With a wave of his hand, the towering figure pulls the young man's soul out of the screen, just like Lan Si's, before he dies, and it vanishes into the void.

When they reappeared, they were on a battlefield. There, a man with bloodshot eyes was holding an infant in his right hand and wielding a large hammer in his left. Nine dazzling halos of yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red shimmered around him. He was engaged in a fierce battle with three black figures whose bodies were also surrounded by nine soul rings of yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black.

They fought from day to night, and from night to dawn, repeating this cycle for three days and nights before finally ending.

In the end, the man who wielded the sledgehammer won. He knelt before a blue silver grass with golden patterns on its surface, holding the baby who had not eaten or drunk for three days and three nights and was on the verge of death. He wept bitterly.

"Third Sister." The moment the man wielding the sledgehammer cried out those two words in a heart-wrenching voice, the soul of the young man, under the control of the towering figure, transformed into a stream of light and entered the baby's brow. The baby's face showed pain, wanting to cry out, but because he was too weak, he could not make a sound. After a moment, the pain on the baby's face gradually disappeared, and his body recovered in an instant. He opened his eyes, which were completely different from before, and curiously looked at the man who was holding him and crying bitterly, and then slowly fell asleep.

The scene froze. Then it switched to another scene.

It was the same familiar newlywed couple, but now there was also a refined middle-aged man in the picture, who was none other than Lan Si's uncle, Ye Renxin.

Chapter 105 The Mystery of Time Travel (Part 2)

The husband first went to Ye Renxin to discuss the matter, but then his wife, who was eavesdropping outside the door while holding their child, heard this and ran over to Ye Renxin and had a big argument with her. In the end, the two had a falling out, and the couple left with their newborn child to live a life of wandering.

Despite their somewhat turbulent life, Lan could tell that the couple were very happy. They also loved their child dearly, giving him a wonderful childhood. The family of three enjoyed a long and warm period together.

Seeing this heartwarming scene on the screen, Lan Si, who had lived two lives and never truly experienced the meaning of paternal and maternal love, couldn't help but shed tears.

The couple last appeared in the footage when their child was two years old. They stayed at a blacksmith shop for a month, and after the child became familiar and close to the blacksmith shop owner, they said goodbye and never returned.

The scene shifts, and four years later, the child has grown up and happily walks out of the blacksmith's shop, stopping in a small alley.

Just then, within the pitch-black space inside his body, the previously dull and lifeless blue lotus suddenly lit up...

"A-Si, A-Si..." Just as Lan Si was about to watch other scenes, two melodious and familiar voices, like silver bells, suddenly rang in her ears.

Countless light screens simultaneously erupted with a blinding burst of light. Lan Si subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the light screens had disappeared, and he was no longer in that dark space. Instead, he was lying on a hotel bed, where two beautiful naked girls came into view.

At the same time, almost the instant Lan Si opened his eyes, the entire room seemed to light up and be enveloped in blue light. The two beauties who were very close to Lan Si could see clearly that Lan Si's eyes had now turned into a crystal-clear ice-blue, just like his long ice-blue hair that emitted a faint golden light like crystal. Within his pupils, there were faint blue flames dancing, which complemented the ice-blue color and gave the two women a feeling of being seen through.

"Ah Si, your eyes... and why are you sleeping on the floor...?" Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed slightly, her heart raced, and her gaze darted away as she stammered as she asked Lan Si.

"Yes, Ah Si, and you even cried..." The kitten, her pretty face also flushed, asked with some concern.

"No...nothing...I just refined a magical herb called 'Looking Through Autumn Water Dew,' which can enhance spiritual power." Lan Si's gaze swept over the two beauties. When the icy blue light in his eyes fell on them, he saw their perfectly beautiful bodies, each with its own unique features, and a line of bloody liquid involuntarily flowed down their philtrum.

He discovered that his azure fiery eyes, which were granted by the fusion of the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique and the Azure Lotus Martial Soul, had evolved. On the basis of the original enhanced dynamic vision, they seemed to have evolved a kind of X-ray vision, which could see through illusions.

Under Lan Si's fiery blue eyes, it was almost impossible to tell whether Ye Lingling or Zhu Zhuqing were dressed or not.

Leaving aside the kitten, he had already seen it all.

Ye Lingling was quite unexpected. Her figure was even better than he had imagined, and she was flawless all over. There wasn't even a trace of mosquito bites or a small red mole. She was a true beauty.

"Ah Si, why is your nose bleeding?" Just then, the kitten's exclamation interrupted Lan Si's thoughts.

"A person can only refine one type of immortal herb at most. Perhaps you refined two types and overdid it," Lan Si hurriedly closed his azure fiery eyes, wiped the blood from his nose, and replied perfunctorily.

The azure fiery eyes closed, the blue light vanished, and the feeling of being seen through faded from the two beauties' hearts. Ye Lingling then raised her pretty face and asked Lan Si earnestly, "A Si, after Zhu Qing and I finished refining the immortal herb, we found you collapsed on the ground. We put you on the bed, and then we noticed you were crying the whole time. Did... something happen...?"

Lan Si nodded slowly, the previous frivolity in his eyes vanishing instantly, replaced by loneliness and endless sorrow. He recalled the scene of parting with his parents.

Lan Si's sudden change startled the two women, and the scene fell silent. Ye Lingling vaguely sensed something, lay down, and hugged Lan Si into her arms. Like coaxing a child, she gently stroked his back and said softly, "It's okay, A Si. You still have me and Zhu Qing. No matter what happens in the future, we will always be your family."

As she spoke, Ye Lingling winked at Zhu Zhuqing. As Lan Si's girlfriend, Zhu Zhuqing naturally knew everything about his background. She knew that this was the time when Lan Si needed his family's company the most. She then disregarded her shyness and lay down gracefully, embracing Lan Si from the other side.

Lan Si embraced two women, and the three of them remained in that position, no one speaking. At that moment, the world was so peaceful. There was no strife, no need for cultivation, no need for intrigue...

A long while passed before Lan Si's grief gradually subsided. He suddenly asked, "Zhu Qing, what time is it now? How long has it been since I lost consciousness?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not get up, but simply leaned quietly against Lan Si's chest and softly replied, "It's already the second night. You've been unconscious for a day and a night."

Lan Si continued, "So, how did you feel after refining the immortal herb?"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and replied, "Just as you expected, my soul power has broken through level 30, and I can feel that my soul power is extremely abundant at the moment. I believe that after obtaining the third soul ring, my soul power will be able to increase significantly."

"That's good?" Lan Si smiled, then tilted her head and softly asked Ye Lingling, "Where's Lingling?"

“Like Zhu Qing, my soul power has also increased, from level 36 to level 40. After obtaining the fourth soul ring, it should be able to increase by one or two levels. And it seems…” Ye Lingling pondered for a moment, then got up and nestled in Lan Si’s arms, saying excitedly, “My martial soul seems to have evolved just like yours. I don’t know the specifics yet, I have to go back and ask my father! I’ll summon it for you to see first.”

As she spoke, Ye Lingling raised her right hand, about to summon her martial spirit.

Lan Si grasped her slender hand, stopping her, "Let's skip it today, tomorrow. I'll take you to get the soul rings tomorrow too."

"Mmm." Hearing this, Ye Lingling nodded slightly in response, nestled back into Lan Si's arms, and the three of them fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Lan Si transformed back into her pre-evolutionary form, paid the room fee, and led Ye Lingling out of the hotel amidst the admiring and envious gazes of the receptionist.

Watching Lan Si and his two companions leave looking radiant, the waiter couldn't help but sigh, "Are young people these days so bold? I've worked as a hotel receptionist for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a man take two beautiful women to a hotel room and stay there for two nights straight."

Chapter 106 Tang San's Worries

Three days later, in Sunset Forest, at Dugu Bo's residence.

"Hahaha...Good lad, I didn't expect you to actually think of this method of forcing the poison into the soul bone and then preparing a medicinal guide to detoxify me. Little monster, you're really something." Dugu Bo patted Tang San's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Thanks to you, not only has the poison in my body been greatly reduced, but my soul power, which has been unable to advance for many years, is also showing signs of breaking through. I believe that I will definitely be able to break through to level ninety-two in less than half a year."

Tang San was already used to Dugu Bo's unpredictable and capricious nature. If it weren't for his tireless efforts over three days and three nights to find and concoct a suitable antidote from the destroyed herbs, he would probably have already become a victim of Dugu Bo's blade.

However, he did not come away empty-handed. In the process of searching for medicinal herbs and separating the dregs from the soil, he found several thousand-year-old blood ginseng and several immortal herbs that had lost most of their medicinal effects due to destruction.

Although those immortal herbs were not classified as immortal herbs and had lost seven or eight tenths of their medicinal power, Tang San still managed to raise his soul power from level thirty-three to level thirty-five after consuming the best-preserved one that was most suitable for him. This was quite a significant achievement.

As for the Blood Ginseng, because it remained hidden deep in the soil before growing into a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king and becoming a celestial herb, it was relatively well-preserved. However, its medicinal effects were somewhat disappointing. Although it could still increase soul power, it lacked the effect of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vital energy, and it also had certain hidden dangers. These effects might not be immediately apparent, but they would gradually become apparent in the future. It was like a chicken rib—tasteless to consume and a pity to discard.

He said to Dugu Bo with an indifferent expression, "Now you can release my teacher and Dean Flander, right?"

"Of course." Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Considering that you cured me of the poison, I won't blame them for destroying my herb garden."

"How did you determine that my teacher and the others destroyed your herb garden?" Tang San frowned. If we were to say who would be the angrier after Dugu Bo's herb garden was destroyed, Tang San would probably be second to none, not even Dugu Bo himself.

You should know that those are all immortal herbs that can strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy, have no side effects, and can greatly enhance the talent and potential of a Soul Master, and even give the Martial Soul a new life.

If he obtains it, he will have a very high chance of surpassing Lan Si before he can cultivate his second martial soul.

If it were just completely destroyed, it would make him feel better, since he had already consumed a damaged immortal herb.

However, he searched every inch of the medicinal garden for the main immortal herbs recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, such as the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone, etc., but he couldn't find a single remnant. Even the roots and seeds had been dug up.

This means the other party came prepared. Although they didn't take the few immortal herbs that were left behind, but destroyed them like the other herbs, the ones that were taken were most likely recognized by the other party, especially the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, which were very likely refined on the spot.

The same applies to the other immortal herbs. If they are refined by the right people, they will create a group of geniuses who are no less than, or even surpass, the Shrek Seven Devils.
