A powerful suction erupted from the old butler, greedily devouring the surrounding heaven and earth origin energy like a black hole.
His own Soul Power cultivation also steadily improved with the rapid operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
The entire process lasted for more than half an hour before concluding.
"Grandpa Yu, how do you feel?"
On the ground, the old butler had just finished his cultivation when the young master's voice reached his ears. After briefly experiencing the changes in his body after all eight meridians were unblocked, he smiled and replied:
"I feel great. I didn't expect that just by unblocking the last meridian, my entire body would feel as if it had been reborn."
"My Soul Power cultivation also increased by a little over half a level. I'm now less than half a level away from level ninety-eight Soul Power, saving me several years of arduous cultivation."
This reply was within Lin Rong's expectations.
Although he himself had unblocked all eight extraordinary meridians in his mother's womb, and the pure body under innate fetal breathing meant Lin Rong didn't experience the feeling of being reborn after all eight meridians were unblocked.
However, in his post-natal life, the breakthroughs in the first two realms of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture had given Lin Rong a deep understanding of this.
Looking at the layer of light gray impurities on the old butler's body, Lin Rong pointed to a bucket of hot water he had prepared earlier and said:
"Grandpa Yu, I've already prepared the hot water. You should go and bathe quickly. This sticky feeling on your body is quite uncomfortable."
After the old butler bathed and changed, the master and servant left the quiet room.
The arrival of early spring caused the snow in the courtyard to begin melting.
The moist air, carrying the mixed fragrance of earth and grass, was refreshing.
The master and servant strolled leisurely in the courtyard, enjoying a moment of peace.
It wasn't until half an hour later that they arrived at the main hall of the residence.
Dugu Bo, who had been waiting on the sofa for a long time, saw them enter and immediately said impatiently:
"My lord, you're finally here. When are we setting off to find that 'Invincible Yang' you mentioned?"
Yesterday, when Lin Rong confirmed that the old butler was on the verge of a breakthrough.
He had summoned Dugu Bo and told him that Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan had a way to resolve the backlash poison in his body.
Upon hearing this news, Dugu Bo had immediately moved into the estate and kept asking when they would depart.
Listening to him, Lin Rong calmly said:
"Why are you in such a hurry? You've been poisoned for a lifetime, what's the difference of a day or two?"
"My lord, I am not in a hurry." Dugu Bo paced around Lin Rong, saying:
"It's just that if we can confirm the feasibility of detoxification as soon as possible, my Yan Yan can also be freed from the influence of the severe poison backlash sooner."
Although Dugu Yan had taken three Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pills, and her Martial Soul, the Azure Phosphorus Snake, showed signs of dragonization.
This had only slowed down the speed of the poison backlash; it couldn't completely eliminate the influence of the Martial Soul backlash poison.
Before Lin Rong told Dugu Bo about this matter, Dugu Bo had intended to maintain the status quo. At the very least, Dugu Yan already had the ability to cultivate her Soul Power to level seventy Soul Saint before the Martial Soul backlash poison erupted.
This would allow her to enter the valley where the Ice and Fire Twin Springs were located, using the environment there to suppress the poison in her body and survive precariously.
And when Dugu Bo learned that Yang Wudi could cure the poison in his body, hope rekindled in his heart.
Who would want to be a monster, neither human nor ghost, when they could live in the sunlight like a normal person?
If Yang Wudi could truly cure his poison, he would also be able to cure his granddaughter, whose symptoms were much milder than his.
Walking to the main seat and sitting down, Lin Rong saw Dugu Bo mention Dugu Yan and casually asked:
"I recall your granddaughter is in a passionate relationship with the grandson of the old Dragon family, Yu Tianheng."
"They say a woman in love has an IQ of zero. So, she shouldn't have told her lover about those profound techniques, right?"
Listening to the careless tone, Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly replied:
"Please rest assured, my lord. I have repeatedly instructed my Yan Yan not to reveal this matter to that brat. Yan Yan is not an insensible child; she knows what she should do."
She knows what she should do?
Hearing this, Lin Rong couldn't help but shake his head.
If it were any other world, he would believe it, but this was the Douluo Continent, so forget it.
Seeing Dugu Bo's anxious gaze still fixed on him, Lin Rong said dismissively:
"It's fine, it's not a big deal."
"You just need to know that without my permission, only the dead can know of the existence of these profound techniques."
"If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan finds out about this, we'll just destroy them."
"Also, tell your granddaughter that if Yu Tianheng finds out about the profound techniques, and the news leaks, then Yu Tianheng will be dealt with by your granddaughter herself."
After speaking, seeing Dugu Bo standing there in fear, Lin Rong added:
"Alright, we'll depart tomorrow morning. Go back, pack your things, and say goodbye to your granddaughter."
Dugu Bo, standing by, nodded in agreement and turned to leave the hall.
On the way back to the manor, Dugu Bo secretly counted his blessings.
"Thankfully, because she had just gotten the cultivation technique, Yan Yan has been staying at home diligently cultivating for the past twenty-plus days and hasn't been dating that brat.
"Otherwise, I couldn't guarantee just now that Yan Yan didn't leak information about the ultimate skill to that brat.
"After I get back, I'll honestly relay the adult's words to Yan Yan. With that brat's life as the price, the more Yan Yan loves him, the less likely she is to tell him about the ultimate skill."
Previously, Dugu Bo thought Yu Tianheng's talent was passable. With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach the high-level Soul Douluo stage.
He was merely annoyed that Yu Tianheng had stolen his Yan Yan. He still somewhat approved of this prospective grandson-in-law.
But now, after witnessing true geniuses, Yu Tianheng's only passable talent instantly became a demerit.
He wasn't asking Yu Tianheng to compare with that adult, nor was he asking Yu Tianheng to compare with Tang Hao's son, Tang San.
It was just that after he obtained Dai Mubai's information through the intelligence network of his secret guards, he discovered that this third prince of the Star Luo Empire had a cultivation talent far superior to that of the young sect master of the esteemed Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Instantly, Dugu Bo couldn't find a single good quality in Yu Tianheng. He found him increasingly displeasing to the eye.
He had no talent, no good looks, and was even clueless in romance, not understanding what romance was at all.
Therefore, Dugu Bo truly didn't understand what his Yan Yan saw in that brat.
However, his Yan Yan just liked him. To even take care of the man's self-esteem, she never revealed her current true Soul Power level in front of Yu Tianheng.
While contemplating, Dugu Bo thought of the couple Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang, and a guess formed in his mind:
"Could it be due to the attraction between dragons and snakes?"
"The male dragon's attraction to the female snake made Yan Yan fall in love with that brat at first sight?"
"That's right, it must be like this."
