Heaven Dou City.
On the first day of her arrival, Shui Bing'er went to visit Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Lin Xiao felt inexplicably uneasy, wondering what the three girls had discussed when they were together.
Fortunately, their relationship seemed as harmonious as ever.
It seemed the "fire in the backyard" situation hadn't happened?
However, when the four of them gathered, there was still some awkwardness. They would blush inexplicably and behave much more properly, refraining from any overly intimate actions.
It would take time to adapt...
It's worth mentioning that Shui Bing'er actually became the instructor for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's practice of the Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Frolics, dedicating significant effort for a full month to teach them the intricacies.
This left Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in awe.
Shui Bing'er was indeed faster at learning than them, and also more diligent.
The days passed in warmth.
...
Inside a pavilion, Ye Qingxian and Lin Xiao sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
Ye Qingxian glanced at Lin Xiao, took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully:
"Lin Xiao, you've been quite pleased with yourself lately. I see you grinning foolishly from time to time. What's made you so happy?"
"Huh?!"
Lin Xiao touched his face. "Am I that obvious?"
Ye Qingxian rolled her eyes, thinking that this kid was a bit too dense in some aspects. He seemed completely unaware that his childhood sweethearts had talked privately many times.
For any normal person, there would have been a huge uproar at home.
Yet, he hadn't intervened at all, and instead, everyone got along harmoniously.
Ye Qingxian skipped over the topic and said:
"Poison Douluo gained significant inspiration from the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core that you brought back. He's now holed up in the deep mountains and old forests to improve his Poison Burst Technique. Before he left, he asked me to tell you that if you encounter any trouble, you can find him in the mountain valley within Sunset Forest. He goes there every so often."
Lin Xiao nodded, indicating he understood.
Ye Qingxian then added:
"Also, I've been racking my brain, intending to research suitable medicinal cuisine or medicinal baths for you. But your strength has been improving too quickly, and in the end, plans couldn't keep up with the changes."
"So, I thought of another way."
Lin Xiao was very curious upon hearing this.
"What way?"
Ye Qingxian smiled slightly.
"Your cultivation speed is too fast, and your physical strength has long surpassed the scope of normal Soul Masters. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're a ferocious beast with a human skin. Trying to find ways to further improve you has become less effective than improving your team."
"Yan Yan and Ling Ling's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is extremely special. Under specific circumstances, it can be considered an uncounterable Divine Skill. Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul evolving into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda makes it the undisputed top support-type Martial Soul. Similarly, Ling Ling's Nine Hearted Begonia is also like that."
"As for Bing'er, her combat talent is the strongest, and her cultivation talent is second only to yours. Once her strength improves, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill you perform with her will be significantly stronger."
Ye Qingxian said gently:
"I plan to establish a training camp, gather these girls together, tailor training plans for them, provide medicinal cuisine and medicinal baths, and help them build a solid foundation and improve their strength without regard for cost."
"The location... will be the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well."
In the past, it was a case of "innocent people are guilty because of their possessions." Therefore, the fewer people who knew about the secret of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, the better. But now that they had the strength to protect themselves, there was no need to be so restrained.
Lin Xiao stared blankly at Ye Qingxian, somewhat astonished.
Ye Qingxian frowned:
"What is it? Don't you trust your Aunt Ye? Do you think I'm just a healing-type Soul Master, and as a doctor, I don't understand Martial Soul theories?"
Hearing a hint of annoyance in Aunt Ye's voice, Lin Xiao quickly said:
"Of course not. I'm just surprised that Aunt Ye has been thinking about me... about our matters. It must be difficult for you to not have a moment's rest every day."
"As for Martial Soul theory, even though Aunt Ye isn't widely known, I believe that based on your rigorous thinking alone, you are many times better than some people who consider themselves theory masters."
Anyone who can achieve something in medicine can learn anything else, right?
Ye Qingxian blushed slightly at Lin Xiao's words and chided him:
"You sly fox, save that flattering talk for Ling Ling. That silly girl falls for it! It won't work on me!"
Seeing that Ye Qingxian said that, but her fair skin had a faint blush, Lin Xiao secretly thought that Aunt Ye was just being contrary. In reality, like Sister Ling Ling, she fell for such words.
Of course, the most important thing wasn't the words themselves.
It was the person saying them.
Lin Xiao had no objections and immediately finalized the plan.
Following that.
Ye Qingxian went to inquire about the opinions of the several girls.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Shui Bing'er all agreed. When Ning Rongrong heard the news, she was so delighted she couldn't sleep, wishing she could bring her quilt and come to the Ye family that very day.
She had thought she was going to leave the stage for good…
It seemed there might be hope for a comeback?
...
Late at night, Lin Xiao was talking with Feng Yu.
Feng Yu said, "With things calm lately, Lin Xiao, you still need to focus on your cultivation. Don't get lost in the company of women."
A gentle haven can be a hero's grave…
"Isn't there the Asura God's divine examination right now? If I don't take advantage of this, it's a waste. I need to develop quickly and finish the easy divine examination tasks first, and skip the troublesome ones." Lin Xiao: "..." He suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for the Asura God. This God King, whom he had never met but already had a bad first impression of, would his spirit be broken knowing that his generosity to his successor was being treated like a "take all you can" gift pack?
Whether the Asura God's spirit would be broken was unknown.
However, someone at the Lake of Life was truly furious.
Gu Yuena briefly awoke from her slumber. She suddenly sensed something was wrong. How did that big worm disappear? Although the surroundings were filled with the worm's aura, and its slightly undulating, plump body could be seen in the distance, Gu Yuena could clearly sense the disappearance of its massive spirit. All that remained was a silkworm cocoon, and a simulated false spirit! Seeing the ferocious beasts still devouring the natural energy emanating from the cocoon, Gu Yuena completely lost it!
"Di Tian!"
Her voice, filled with indignation, left Di Tian completely bewildered. It wasn't until Gu Yuena angrily questioned him that he suddenly realized something was amiss. His heart trembled, and he extended a black dragon claw, easily peeling open the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's cocoon, only to find it empty inside! Di Tian broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the other ferocious beasts also sensed the anomaly. They all opened their eyes. Seeing the vanished Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they collectively fell silent. Gu Yuena suppressed her anger and began to recall what had happened before she fell asleep. Finally, her gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, fixing firmly on that enhanced healing sacred item – the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus! She realized belatedly that the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus had extremely harsh growth requirements. How could it have appeared in the center of the Lake of Life? Moreover, it had been tampered with!
This is bad! Someone's messing with this dragon!
