Chapter 194: The Visit of the Nine Heart Begonia Family
Leaving Dugu Manor, Lin Yu once again used the external soul bone, Wind and Thunder Wings, to rush back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Then, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, just like with the Snow-Colored Peacock Kiss and Skyblue Jade Serpent Orchid, Lin Yu placed the evolved Eight-Pointed Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot into the Qiankun Cauldron, refining them into two pills.
Afterward, Lin Yu consumed both pills, which had been refined from the Eight-Pointed Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot, and jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to begin his Ice-Fire Body Tempering.
Before long, an entire day had passed.
Relying on his powerful physical constitution, Lin Yu successfully refined the essence of the Eight-Pointed Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot, further improving his physical quality, and gaining the ability to resist both ice and fire.
Then, Lin Yu left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and returned to Dugu Manor.
...
"Dugu Bo, how did you do with the task I gave you?"
After arriving at Dugu Manor, Lin Yu asked directly upon seeing Dugu Bo greet him.
"Young Master, you have the method to make the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolve. I had Yan Yan tell the Nine Heart Begonia family through her classmate, Ye Lingling. She should be back today with the results."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, a confident smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face as he responded, leading Lin Yu inside Dugu Manor.
"To welcome Young Master, I have already prepared a feast in the manor. Please follow me."
After enjoying the midday feast at Dugu Manor, Lin Yu spent the afternoon cultivating in the manor. By evening, Dugu Yan finally returned from the Tiandou Royal Academy.
Upon her return, Dugu Yan informed Lin Yu that the Nine Heart Begonia family was planning to visit Dugu Manor the following day.
She explained that after telling her friend Ye Lingling that Lin Yu knew how to make the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolve, she mentioned that her grandfather, Dugu Bo, knew someone who had such a method. Naturally, the Nine Heart Begonia family would come to Dugu Manor to inquire with Dugu Bo.
They're coming tomorrow?
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Lin Yu couldn't help but stroke his chin, falling into thought.
Soon, the next day arrived.
As a luxurious carriage stopped in front of Dugu Manor, a beautiful, elegant woman in a dark blue palace dress with cascading dark blue hair and deep blue eyes, accompanied by a tall, burly red-haired man and a young woman with long dark blue hair and matching blue eyes, stepped down from the carriage.
"Is this Dugu Manor?"
Looking at the grand manor in front of her, the beautiful woman in a dark blue palace dress took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous.
She had come to inquire with Dugu Bo about who knew how to make their Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolve, unsure whether she would get an answer.
Indeed, she was the head of the Nine Heart Begonia family, Ye Zhixin, and the mother of Ye Lingling.
As for the tall, burly red-haired man, he was Ye Lingling's father, Su Kuang, a soul master with the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Lion Martial Soul, a powerful assault-type Soul Douluo.
As an auxiliary soul master family, just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School trains sword-bone Title Douluos, the Nine Heart Begonia family also trains powerful combat soul masters to be the family's backbone.
Su Kuang was the strongest combat soul master of the Nine Heart Begonia family. Together with Ye Zhixin's support, they were an unstoppable force in the Soul Douluo rank!
After arriving at Dugu Manor, Ye Zhixin, with her husband Su Kuang and daughter Ye Lingling, walked forward. After informing the servant at the gate of her identity,
Soon, Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan.
"Haha! Clan Leader Ye, Su Brother, it's been a long time! And this must be Lingling!"
As they approached, Dugu Bo immediately laughed heartily upon seeing the three, greeting them.
"Come, come, come, come inside! My Young Master has been waiting for you all!"
Your Young Master?!
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, both Ye Zhixin and Su Kuang froze, exchanging a look of surprise.
Although the day before, Lin Yu had single-handedly defeated the Three Great Teaching Committee of Tiandou, Yu Yuan Zhen, and even Sword Douluo with the help of Ning Fengzhi, the news hadn't fully spread yet.
So hearing Dugu Bo refer to someone as his "Young Master," they were both taken aback.
Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo, and even when the Imperial family sought to recruit him, he had only accepted the offer out of gratitude toward Snow Star Prince. He had only reluctantly agreed to be a royal elder.
Who could it be that had the power to subdue Dugu Bo?
Although they were puzzled, they didn't ask, thinking they would soon find out who had subdued Dugu Bo.
Following Dugu Bo, they entered Dugu Manor and made their way to the guest hall.
As they arrived in front of the guest hall, the three saw a young man dressed in black sitting at the highest seat, his appearance no older than sixteen or seventeen, with shoulder-length black hair, a handsome face, and a cold demeanor. Upon their arrival, his gaze shifted to Ye Zhixin.
"Master, this is Ye Zhixin, the Clan Leader of the Nine Heart Begonia family. This is her husband, Su Kuang, the Soul Douluo with the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Lion Martial Soul, and this is Ye Lingling."
After bringing Ye Zhixin into the hall, Dugu Bo immediately walked over to Lin Yu, briefly introducing the three.
Lin Yu's eyes swept over Ye Lingling, Su Kuang, and Ye Zhixin before resting on Ye Zhixin.
"Please, take a seat."
After Ye Zhixin and the others entered the hall, Lin Yu rose, gesturing for them to sit down.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Ye Zhixin and Su Kuang exchanged another look, then sat down at the table, staring at Lin Yu.
A completely unfamiliar young man, but this boy, at most just having reached adulthood, how could he have made Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, submit?
Both Ye Zhixin and Su Kuang could hardly believe it as they observed Lin Yu.
After the three sat down, Lin Yu didn't waste time and directly spoke with a faint smile.
"You've come today because of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolution method, haven't you?"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Ye Zhixin narrowed her beautiful eyes. By now, she had guessed part of the truth.
The Nine Heart Begonia family had been tirelessly searching for the method to evolve their Martial Soul, just as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been searching for a way to evolve their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile to allow cultivation beyond the Soul Saint rank.
But unlike them, the Nine Heart Begonia family hoped to use the evolution of their Martial Soul to break the tragedy where only two Soul Masters of the Nine Heart Begonia could be born each generation.
There had never been any rumors from Dugu Manor regarding a method to evolve the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. However, after Dugu Bo submitted to the young man in front of her, this news spread, and Dugu Yan had told them through her daughter, Ye Lingling.
It seemed most likely that the method didn't come from Dugu Bo but rather from this young man.
But what exactly did this young man want by drawing the Nine Heart Begonia family in, just as he had done with Dugu Bo and the Biphosphorus Family?
