Nine Hearted Begonia, Ye Qingxian
Lin Xiao temporarily settled down in the Dugu Estate. Dugu Bo would not be back anytime soon after his departure.
In the days that followed,
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling went to school as usual, while Lin Xiao stayed in the Dugu Estate to cultivate. When Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were done with school, the three of them would gather for a while.
Evening.
A sudden rain had fallen in the morning, and the courtyard was damp.
Lin Xiao practiced his fist techniques under the corridor.
His steps were steady, his movements rhythmic and orderly, with an unspeakable charm in every action. Sometimes he resembled a monkey climbing a tree, sometimes a white crane spreading its wings, or a tiger roaring in the mountains, or a deer drinking by a stream...
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had already returned.
But neither of them made a sound.
Instead, they stood at a distance, quietly watching Lin Xiao practice his fist techniques.
Perhaps it was because Lin Xiao was handsome, or perhaps his movements were standard, capturing the essence of the fist techniques. In any case, to onlookers, his imitation of the Five Animal Frolics was not awkward at all, but rather had an indescribable charm.
"Yan'yan, what kind of fist technique is Lin Xiao practicing?"
"I don't know, but it looks quite powerful."
"By the way, when is Poison Douluo coming back?"
"I don't know, but Grandpa always leaves for several months at a time. Whenever I ask him what he's doing, he never tells me in detail."
Dugu Yan felt a faint sense of worry in her heart.
Because every time Dugu Bo left, although he put on a relaxed expression, Dugu Yan still noticed that her grandfather sometimes frowned, as if he was enduring pain.
Fortunately, this wasn't the first time Dugu Bo had been like this.
He always returned safely.
Ye Lingling was a little curious.
"Lin Xiao said that his Martial Soul also has flaws, but he didn't say what the flaws are. What if he dies one day? Why don't we take him to my house to have a look?"
"My mom might have a solution."
Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Qingxian, was the previous successor of the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul and a Soul Emperor-level expert. She not only possessed powerful Soul Skills that could revive the dead and regrow flesh, but was also proficient in medical skills.
Although Martial Soul flaws involved congenital deficiencies that couldn't be solved by medical skills, it was still possible to help suppress the negative effects brought about by the Martial Soul flaws.
Dugu Yan nodded upon hearing this.
"Alright, Lingling."
"When should we go and take a look?"
Ye Lingling pondered for a moment and smiled:
"There's no time like the present, let's go tonight."
"My house has many rooms, Yan'yan, you should come too, and let my mom see how your body is doing?"
Previously, Ye Lingling didn't know that Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had flaws, and even Dugu Yan herself didn't know, so she hadn't asked Ye Qingxian to help check.
But now that she knew, it was good to go and take a look, whether it was useful or not.
At this moment, Lin Xiao had just finished practicing his fist techniques.
He felt that the meridians all over his body were burning, and there seemed to be a warm current in his body, continuously strengthening his physique. Although the effect was small, it was continuous.
Compared to the time when he had just awakened his Martial Soul.
Lin Xiao's physique had become much stronger.
Lin Xiao clenched his fist and thought to himself, I can't stop practicing fist techniques. I must strengthen my physique. Only in this way can I suppress the more ferocious offensive when the Evil Fire makes a comeback.
Calculating the time, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling should have finished school.
Lin Xiao turned his head and saw the two girls waiting.
"Sister Yan'yan, Sister Lingling."
Lin Xiao walked forward and greeted them.
Ye Lingling said, "Lin Xiao, come to my house today. I'll have my mother check your and Yan'yan's bodies. It would be best if there's a solution, but don't get your hopes up too high."
Lin Xiao nodded.
The Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul is crowned as the "Number One Healing Martial Soul on the Continent" and is even envied by the heavens. At most, only two Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul owners can exist at the same time, so it naturally has its heaven-defying aspects.
"Okay, I'll head over after I take a shower."
Practicing boxing is a physical activity.
After Lin Xiao finished a few sets of Five Animal Frolics and Eight Section Brocade, he was covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked.
After taking a shower, Lin Xiao followed Ye Lingling to the Ye Family.
...
The Ye Family is located in an extremely prosperous area of Heaven Dou City.
It's even close to the Imperial Palace.
However, considering the terrifying nature of the Nine Hearted Begonia, it's not surprising.
Lin Xiao entered the Ye Family estate.
He met Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Qingxian.
She was dressed in palace attire, with a white veil covering her face, giving her an ethereal feeling. Although her face couldn't be seen, he inexplicably felt that she must be a great beauty.
"Mom, these are two of my friends."
"Lin Xiao and Yan'yan, their Martial Souls both have flaws, and they seem to be quite serious. Can you help take a look at their bodies?"
Ye Qingxian looked over.
She already knew Dugu Yan, so her gaze lingered on Lin Xiao for a moment before she nodded.
"Come in with me."
The mother and daughter's voices were exactly the same, completely like a grown-up Ye Lingling, but her voice was colder and more mature than Ye Lingling's.
They entered a simple room.
The group sat down.
Ye Qingxian asked, "Tell me first, what are the flaws in your respective Martial Souls?"
Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan told Ye Qingxian everything in detail.
Ye Qingxian's face remained unchanged, but she sighed in her heart.
Although the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul is the strongest healing Martial Soul, it is helpless against Martial Soul flaws. Otherwise, the Dugu Family would have come knocking long ago.
Now, she could only try.
"Nine Hearted Begonia, emerge."
Lin Xiao smelled a faint fragrance, and then saw a pink begonia flower appear in Ye Qingxian's hands. The petals were composed of pink and white, the flower color was gorgeous, and the flower posture was beautiful.
As Ye Qingxian infused Soul Power, two beams of white light shone on Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan respectively. The white light landed on their bodies and instantly turned into pink and white flowers, entering their bodies.
Lin Xiao felt warmth all over his body.
It was as comfortable as if he had practiced the Five Animal Frolics again. A warm current flowed through his body, seemingly searching for all the injured places and healing them.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao's pupils shrank.
The meridians in his body that were injured by the last Evil Fire eruption had almost recovered under the effects of the Five Animal Frolics, but there were still some subtle areas waiting to be healed.
However, under the healing effect of the Nine Hearted Begonia, they were rapidly healing.
Lin Xiao's mind boomed! He suddenly understood! He seemed to know what to do next!
He has his own way of cultivation! The light of the Nine Hearted Begonia gradually dissipated.
Ye Qingxian sighed with some disappointment, but also felt that it was within expectations, and said softly, "I have no solution to the flaws in your two Martial Souls."
"Martial Soul defects are innate, not injuries. Unless one doesn't cultivate or even awaken their Martial Soul, problems will eventually arise."
Dugu Yan pursed her lips in disappointment.
"It's okay, Aunt Ye, you've already done your best."
