Chapter 196: Subjugating the Nine Heart Begonia Family, Good News About the Four Major Clans!
After refining the Heavenly Fragrance Qiluo Elixir into a pink, crystal-clear pill the size of a longan using the Qiankun Cauldron Martial Soul, Lin Yu lifted it with his Qi and brought it before Ye Lingling.
Then, under Ye Zhixin's guidance, Ye Lingling took the elixir refined from the Heavenly Fragrance Qiluo Elixir, swallowed it in one gulp, and sat cross-legged in the hall, closing her eyes to begin the process of absorbing and refining it.
In an instant, dazzling pink light surrounded her, and countless streaks of pink light flowed over Ye Lingling's body.
At the same time, a beautiful flower-shaped Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, with petals composed of white and pink, appeared behind Ye Lingling.
As the Martial Soul and Soul Master have a special connection, countless streaks of pink light also surged over the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, transforming it.
Time quickly passed.
The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul behind Ye Lingling had completely transformed, much like the Heavenly Fragrance Qiluo Elixir.
Although the appearance didn't change much, the petals had turned into what looked like pink crystal, radiating soft pink light.
Suddenly, Ye Lingling opened her eyes wide.
"How is it, Lingling?"
Seeing Ye Lingling waking up, Ye Zhixin, who had been waiting by her side, couldn't help but eagerly ask.
Su Kuang, standing beside them, also looked over.
"My cultivation has directly broken through to level thirty, and the evolved Martial Soul no longer feels like the old Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. It seems that we've finally gotten rid of the problem where only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters could exist per generation."
After a moment's thought, Ye Lingling spoke, her voice half thoughtful.
"That's good! That's great!"
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's answer, Ye Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief, gently patting her full chest while her face showed an expression of complete relaxation.
The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul could only produce two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters per generation.
This wasn't the typical defect of a Martial Soul but rather something that felt more like a curse. Every Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master could sense a strange and oppressive feeling deep within the Martial Soul.
But according to her daughter Ye Lingling, this feeling seemed to have disappeared with the evolution of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
It seemed that the evolved Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had truly gotten rid of the problem of only having two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters per generation.
"Thank you, Young Master, for the elixir. As per our earlier agreement, since you've successfully evolved Lingling's Martial Soul, our Nine Heart Begonia family will now submit to you."
"From now on, you are the master of our Nine Heart Begonia family. If you need anything in the future, just let us know. The Nine Heart Begonia family will do everything in its power to serve you!"
After seeing Ye Lingling's successful Martial Soul evolution, Ye Zhixin immediately turned to Lin Yu, half kneeling in front of him with a respectful bow.
Su Kuang and Ye Lingling, standing beside her, also immediately stood up, half kneeling, and with a bow, they said in unison,
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"Hehe, no need for such formalities. In the future, there may indeed be many things I will need from the Nine Heart Begonia family. I hope we can achieve mutual success and growth!"
Seeing Ye Zhixin kneeling in submission, Lin Yu immediately smiled, stood up, and helped Ye Zhixin, Su Kuang, and Ye Lingling back onto their feet.
In the following days, Lin Yu did not stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye but instead made his primary residence at Dugu Manor and the Nine Heart Begonia family.
With his strength displayed, he had already chased away the Tiandou Imperial Family, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect, and now, he had subdued the Nine Heart Begonia family.
Next, Lin Yu focused on studying the mysterious Pill Manual, which he had received as the first-place reward during the livestream Q&A.
The Mysterious Pill Manual was a thick, unnamed book filled with ancient energy. Inside, it contained many different pill formulas and detailed refining methods.
Since Lin Yu planned to establish a Soul Master faction, personnel issues were largely settled after subjugating the Nine Heart Begonia and Biphosphorus families. Establishing a sect could be done relatively quickly.
However, establishing a sect was one thing.
Ensuring it could operate and grow was another.
And the key to that was money!
After all, whether it was building sect buildings, constructing Martial Soul cultivation fields, recruiting Soul Masters, or training disciples, all of it required large amounts of Soul Coins.
Without money, nothing could be done!
Lin Yu had thought about various ways to make money, and opening a tavern was too slow. Selling pills seemed like a much better and faster option.
This was a monopoly industry, with complete control over pricing, and even if the prices were high, as long as they were within the purchasing power of the major forces, buyers would flock to them.
The richest class on the continent was the Soul Master class. The purchasing power of the major Soul Master factions was formidable!
After deciding to study the pill refining techniques in the Mysterious Pill Manual, Lin Yu immediately had Dugu Bo's Biphosphorus family and the Nine Heart Begonia family help collect various medicinal materials and seeds.
The former was for pill refining, while the latter was to plant near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. In that environment, the seeds would grow into century-old medicinal materials in just a few years.
Additionally, Lin Yu also asked the Nine Heart Begonia family to gather information about the Yu Clan and Po Clan.
Regarding the four major clans of Haotian Sect, Lin Yu was eager to recruit them.
It was known that the four major clans under the former Haotian Sect each had their own specialties. The Li Clan was skilled in forging, the Po Clan in alchemy and poison-making, the Min Clan in information gathering, and the Yu Clan in constructing buildings.
However, Lin Yu had no intention of recruiting the Min Clan due to their ties to Haotian Sect.
As for the Li Clan, since Titan still remained loyal to Haotian Sect, Lin Yu had no good way of recruiting them for now.
However, the Yu Clan and Po Clan were perfect targets for Lin Yu, especially since they both harbored deep hatred for Haotian Sect and Tang Hao. Lin Yu had a good opportunity to recruit them.
The only problem was that Lin Yu didn't know where these two clans were, otherwise, he would have definitely visited them to subdue them.
The four major clans had been severely wounded by the Spirit Hall and had been forced to hide in various parts of the continent.
Except for the Li Clan, who remained in Tiandou Imperial City, the other three clans had managed to escape and hide, and even the Nine Heart Begonia family had not been able to find any trace of them despite using their connections.
However, after more than half a month of investigation, the Nine Heart Begonia family finally told Lin Yu some news.
That is, the Four Major Clans' gathering time was fast approaching, and this year's gathering would take place at the Li Clan's location, so Lin Yu no longer had to rush.
