"!!!"
The series of 'good news' Ye Tian revealed one after another made the already pleasantly surprised Dugu Xin even more overjoyed.
"My Martial Soul can evolve?" Dugu Yan couldn't help but freeze in astonishment.
"Haha... Excellent! Truly excellent!"
"Yan Yan's Martial Soul can evolve so early! Brother Ye Tian, you are simply the savior of our Dugu Family!"
"Please accept this bow from Dugu Xin!"
Overwhelmed with joy, Dugu Xin directly performed a deep ninety-degree bow toward Ye Tian.
"Brother Dugu, there's no need for this." Ye Tian quickly stepped forward and helped Dugu Xin up.
"I merely provided a few solutions. The actual work that needs to be done isn't really that much. When Senior Dugu's Martial Soul evolves, the 'Inner Core' within can serve as a reference for self-created Soul Skills. This path might also be put on the agenda. Both Soul Skills and self-created Soul Skills are the safest paths for the Dugu Family."
"Young friend Ye Tian speaks wisely!"
As soon as Ye Tian helped Dugu Xin up, Dugu Bo bowed beside him, performing an extremely respectful salute.
"Senior Dugu, what is the meaning of this? This junior doesn't deserve such great courtesy."
Leaving Dugu Xin behind, Ye Tian walked helplessly toward Dugu Bo.
"Young friend Ye Tian, please hear me out!" Dugu Bo explained while still bowing:
"Without your guidance and assistance, even if I were fortunate enough to break through to the Titled Douluo realm and my Martial Soul evolved, it would all be in vain! My family would still be waiting for death's arrival... Therefore, please accept this bow from the Dugu Family!"
"That's right, Brother Ye Tian, please accept this bow from the Dugu Family!"
"P-please accept Yan Yan's bow, Benefactor!"
Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan stood on either side of Dugu Bo and bowed to Ye Tian one after another, leaving Ye Tian somewhat amused and exasperated.
Truth be told, in the solutions he provided to Dugu Bo, he also had his own motives of gaining without effort.
If Dugu Bo could truly develop a self-created Soul Skill that materializes energy like Soul Power, it would be highly significant for the entire Soul Master Realm.
Ye Tian certainly wouldn't pass up such a self-created Soul Skill.
"Senior Dugu, that's enough. Please don't overwhelm me with such honor."
No time for further contemplation. Ye Tian hurried forward and helped each of the three Dugu family members up one by one.
Qian Renxue watched Ye Tian's back, a curve forming at the corner of her mouth, her infatuation completely unconcealed.
In the entire Soul Master Realm, who else at this age and level could make a Soul Douluo bring his entire family to willingly submit with sincere admiration?
Only her Ye Tian possessed such capability!
Jin Yue'er's eyes were filled with worship...
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but sigh at Ye Tian's methods and wisdom.
He suddenly felt somewhat concerned about whether the decision his elder brother made to have the Hall of Worship accept Yan and Xie Yue was correct or not.
If Ye Tian had ambitions... the Spirit Hall might truly be sidelined by this Support-type Soul Master!
But after seeing the looks in Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er's eyes, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt he was overthinking things. As long as Ye Tian didn't get involved with that woman, everything would be fine. Otherwise, the world might truly become unsettled.
Considering age and status... that kid Ye Tian shouldn't have any connection with that woman, right?
Thinking this, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally felt at ease.
But how could he know just how twisted Bi Bi Dong was?
Even on the battlefield, she was lusting after her disciple.
Soon, Dugu Yan and the others had all straightened up again.
"Senior Dugu, if you have no other questions, I should begin refining the Pills for Yue'er and this little sister," Ye Tian said, standing before Dugu Yan as he smiled and ruffled her emerald-green hair.
Breathing in that Pill Fragrance, Dugu Yan couldn't help but recall her and Jin Yue'er's 'lewd' expressions earlier, causing her cheeks to flush red.
But this big brother really smelled wonderful!
Dugu Yan couldn't resist taking a few more sniffs.
Dugu Bo thought for a moment before saying, "Young friend Ye Tian, this old man has one more concern. After obtaining the 'Poison Sac,' storing all toxins within it might not be a problem for Yan Yan. But for this old man and Xin'er, who already have poison deep in our bones, how should we extract the toxins and channel them into the 'Poison Sac'?"
Ye Tian chuckled teasingly, "Senior Dugu, haven't you already tasted the solution to this problem?"
"Tasted it?"
Dugu Bo was momentarily stunned.
Then he quickly remembered the small crimson Pill Ye Tian had given him to counteract the backlash from the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Dugu Bo suddenly understood, "So young friend Ye Tian had already considered this point. It seems this old man worried unnecessarily."
Ye Tian shook his head, "Matters concerning life and death require careful consideration. If there are no other questions, I'll take my leave for now."
"Young friend Ye Tian, please proceed!"
After Dugu Bo spoke, he remained standing where he was, watching as Ye Tian slowly walked away with Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er.
"Grandpa, if our Martial Souls can evolve, what about Father?" Dugu Yan suddenly tugged at Dugu Bo's sleeve.
"Haha... Yan Yan, don't worry. Your father's bones are tough enough～" Dugu Xin said with amusement.
Among the three of them, having two temporarily freed from suffering was already enough to satisfy him.
"Hmph! If your bones are so tough, then stop screaming!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
Dugu Xin's face immediately broke into an embarrassed smile, "I was just cheering myself on."
"All that's left is your stubborn mouth," Dugu Bo's words were somewhat harsh.
But having obtained the method, how could he bear to let Dugu Xin suffer alone?
He gently stroked Dugu Yan's beautiful hair and said softly, "Xue Xing mentioned a long time ago that he wanted to give this old man a ten-thousand-year soul bone and invite me to be an Honorary Guest at his prince's residence."
"..."
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Jin Yue'er clung to Ye Tian's arm, bouncing excitedly as she asked, "Ye Tian, what kind of Pill are you going to refine for me? Does it have a name?"
"A name? I haven't really thought about that yet," Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "How about Sky-Reaching Dragon Transformation Pill?"
"Dragon transformation?" Jin Yue'er's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Does that mean I can shed my crocodile skin and ascend to become a dragon!"
"Uh... maybe!" Ye Tian casually evaded, not daring to make any promises.
Ascending to dragonhood might not be possible, but evolving to king level was something to look forward to.
"Haha..." Jin Yue'er seemed not to understand Ye Tian's hesitation, already lost in her own world as she danced around triumphantly.
"Then wouldn't my future Martial Soul be the Golden Dragon?"
"Yue'er, you're getting ahead of yourself! Do you know what level the Golden Dragon Martial Soul is? Although Martial Souls can evolve, they can't just change species randomly!"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes in exasperation.
After speaking, she released Ye Tian's arm and pulled Jin Yue'er aside. "Alright, Yue'er, Xiao Tian needs to start pill refining now. Let's go somewhere cooler."
"Mhm."
Jin Yue'er obediently allowed herself to be led away by Qian Renxue.
Turning back, she cheered for Ye Tian.
"Go, Ye Tian! My dragon hide depends on you!"
