Chapter 136: The Unabsorbable Life Pearl
Lin Yang stayed with the Breaking Clan for ten full days.
During these ten days, Lin Yang went through all the herbal medicine classics the Breaking Clan had collected over the generations.
Although much of the content overlapped with what he already knew, it served as perfect verification, and he gained quite a lot.
What interested him most, naturally, were the records concerning Immortal Herb.
Besides the Immortal Herb like the Delicate Apricot that he already knew, Lin Yang also found introductions to several other Immortal Herb in the classics.
Among them was the one he had obtained from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Glazed Soul-Cleansing Flower.
The name was exquisite, and it was the true name of that glazed seed.
The book recorded in detail: The Glazed Soul-Cleansing Flower is born from glaze and grows in moist soil.
After maturing, the petals become a transparent glazed color, and a glazed bead grows in the center of the flower.
The glazed bead is crystal clear, like crystal, and the fragrance it emits can spread for more than ten li.
Consuming the glazed bead can purify the Impurities in one's Martial Soul and unlock the Martial Soul's maximum potential.
This ability has miraculous effects on any Martial Soul.
For example, if Dugu Yan were to consume the glazed bead, it would very likely trigger that trace of Dragon attribute in her Azure Phosphorus Poison Flood Dragon, evolving it into a true Azure Phosphorus Poison Dragon.
And if it were a Soul Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it could evolve into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
In other words, the treasure capable of breaking the Rank limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had been right under Ning Fengzhi and his people's noses all along.
Yet they hadn't discovered it, and instead, it was given to Lin Yang as an extra.
If Ning Fengzhi knew this, he would likely vomit three liters of blood on the spot.
He might even, without saying a word, have the two Douluo, Sword and Bone, seize it back.
Indeed, one cannot earn money beyond one's own cognition.
This treasure had been in their hands for so many years, yet they never discovered its true value, letting the treasure gather dust in vain.
What a pity!
Lin Yang shook his head feignedly, but he was already overjoyed inside.
The greater the effect of the Glazed Soul-Cleansing Flower, the more he would profit.
Although it was being nourished by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Glazed Soul-Cleansing Flower would still need quite some time to fully mature.
But this time... he could afford to wait.
He could even start making preparations now; once the Glazed Soul-Cleansing Flower matured, he would ensure it exerted its maximum efficacy in his hands.
Besides the huge gains from flipping through the classics, Yang Wudi had come over every day for the past ten days to drag him into discussing pharmacology.
This Old goat could only study by himself on ordinary days, and now that Lin Yang, who was even more skilled than him, had arrived, he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Although the two followed different paths, they ultimately arrived at the same destination.
Through this mutual exchange and verification, both gained quite a bit.
Lin Yang learned a lot from him, especially the ways of "sovereign, minister, assistant, and envoy" among medicinal herbs, as well as the Dao of balancing Yin and Yang.
This already touched upon the core of the Breaking Clan's medicine-refining Legacy.
Lin Yang didn't hide anything either; he passed on the techniques of purification and extraction he had summarized to Yang Wudi.
Both parties were extremely satisfied with this exchange.
Ten days later, Lin Yang bid farewell and left under Yang Wudi's reluctant gaze.
He had been out long enough this time; if he didn't return, the girls at home would soon be unable to sit still.
If he kept dragging it out, A'Da would probably throw in the towel.
Half a month.
It took Lin Yang only half a month, travelling with all haste, to return to Heaven Dou City.
As soon as he appeared at the Butterfly House, he was naturally met with an interrogation from the three girls.
"Speak, did you go out and mess around?"
Lin Yang looked helpless; what could he possibly mess around with?
"Don't tell me you took a fancy to some great beauty."
Cold sweat broke out on Lin Yang's forehead—where was this even coming from?
Even Ye Lengleng stared at him with her beautiful eyes, gazing at him gloomily.
To avoid being saddled with baseless accusations, Lin Yang recounted the entire process of this Martial Soul-hunting journey in detail.
Upon hearing that Lin Yang had actually encountered a Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger over forty thousand years old, Xiao Wu's pupils constricted sharply.
She naturally knew the origin of such a notorious Soul Beast.
But what she hadn't expected even more was that Lin Yang had actually killed that Evil Tiger.
One must know that although that Evil Tiger only had ten thousand years of cultivation, its strength was not inferior to a Titled Douluo at all.
Even if Da Ming and Er Ming were to take action, it would be extremely difficult to stop it.
Fortunately, Lin Yang survived.
This was already the greatest fortune amidst misfortune.
Although Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling didn't know the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, upon hearing that even a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall had been lost to it, they all felt lingering fear.
After confirming that Lin Yang hadn't suffered any injuries, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about you let Grandfather go with you next time?" Dugu Yan said with a worried face.
Lin Yang smiled and patted her hand, "Don't worry, this time was just an accident, and I'm not that unlucky every time."
Immediately, Lin Yang changed the subject.
He conveniently took out a large pile of things from his storage bracelet.
These were all local specialties from the Star Luo Empire, as well as some small gifts he had bought for them.
Although they weren't worth much, what the girls wanted was the sentiment.
After distributing the gifts, the girls turned their attention to Aura.
The next second, this unlucky Soul Beast was taken turns being petted and rubbed all over.
Aura had a look of despair, being kneaded back and forth by them, not even bothering to struggle anymore.
"I also really want a Soul Ring like this."
Dugu Yan looked at Lin Yang eagerly, and Ye Lengleng nodded from the side, her eyes sparkling.
Lin Yang shook his head helplessly; this—he really had no way.
Aura's appearance relied entirely on his fourth Soul skills of the Demon God Body and the characteristics of his blood to be created.
This thing wasn't a magic circle that anyone could learn.
Besides, even if there was a way, he didn't intend to make the method public.
In the Douluo Dalu II era, Huo Yuhao created the Soul Spirit and the Martial Soul Pagoda organization, intending to ease the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts.
But the result was still underestimating the nature of human greed and plunder.
Soul Spirit was essentially a compromise by Soul Beasts to humans, but this compromise instead became the root cause of the near-extinction of Soul Beasts tens of thousands of years later.
Lin Yang was, after all, someone who had received nine years of compulsory education.
Seeking peace through compromise leads to the death of peace; seeking peace through struggle leads to the survival of peace.
He still understood this simple truth.
Soul Spirit?
Pfft, nonsense!
In the evening, Lin Yang sat cross-legged in his room, with Xiao Wu sitting opposite him.
Placed in the space between them was a black bead—the Life Pearl left behind by the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Lin Yang could feel his body instinctively wanting to swallow this bead, as if something was egging him on.
But he suppressed that urge with all his might.
After obtaining the Life Pearl, he had originally intended to use the energy contained within it to condense the fifth Soul Ring for his Demon God Body.
But after struggling for a long time, no matter what method he used, he couldn't absorb the energy inside.
It was simply like a hard stone; he couldn't smash it, and he couldn't absorb it.
It was completely impervious to everything.
And now only one method remained, and that was to swallow it whole.
In the original work, this bead traveled through time and space to the Haomiao Continent and was swallowed by Zhou Weiqing.
This was what started his magnificent life afterwards.
But after swallowing this thing, one would lose their reason, go on a rampage, and it was extremely evil.
He wasn't sure if his Spiritual Power could hold up after swallowing it.
This was also the reason why Lin Yang had been unable to make up his mind.
He had quite a few girls around him, but he didn't want to ruin them for no reason.
That would be too despicable.
But this thing was just sitting in his hand, able to be looked at but not eaten.
This feeling was truly unbearable.
That was why he prepared to ask Xiao Wu to see if she had any ideas?
