Seeking Nine Hearts in Heaven Dou City

Ye Shengxin was now the head of the Ye Family in Heaven Dou City, with Soul Power at the Soul Sage level.

He had once treated Dugu Bo as well, but unfortunately, the results had not been very good.

He was somewhat surprised that the Hall Master had brought it up. Besides, the Hall Master always seemed rather mysterious, as if he knew all sorts of strange things.

"The Ye Family is a medical family. What I need is their medical knowledge."

"The Immortal Herb illustrated guide ultimately contains too little. With the Ye Family's medical knowledge as support—"

"I think the Mysterious Water Pill can be produced very soon."

"Second Elder, surely you do not want your grandson to be weaker than others in the future, do you?"

Xu Xin spoke slowly. The Mysterious Water Pill required dozens of ingredients. Without sufficient knowledge and theory to support it, producing it would be extremely difficult. The things he had obtained from Yang Wudi alone were nowhere near enough.

"That is true. Then I will have to trouble the Hall Master to make the trip!"

Dugu Bo chuckled. The Mysterious Water Pill... his grandson would definitely receive one in the future. Naturally, he had to take it seriously.

"It is nothing. I can take Sister A Yin out for a little fun while I am at it. But how is Second Elder's poison?"

Xu Xin asked slowly.

"With the medicine prescribed by the First Elder, it is mostly under control. With my poison pill, it can be restrained quite effectively."

"For now, the poison will no longer affect me. But to remove it completely, it will still take time."

Dugu Bo spoke slowly. Joining Shadow Hall had truly been the right choice. His poison was nearly cured, his son's martial soul had evolved, and his future grandson would have a bright future as well.

It was the best decision he had ever made.

"Second Elder, in that case, take the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma. It strengthens the foundation and replenishes vitality, and it can help you enter the Titled rank sooner."

"Once you enter the Titled rank, it will be time for Shadow Hall to emerge!"

"I will be counting on you."

Xu Xin spoke slowly. Although he knew the three great powers might not have eighty Soul Douluo, they had Titled Douluo, and quite a few Soul Douluo as well.

If Shadow Hall emerged rashly, it would only upset the balance. Then they would have to face the united Upper Three Sects. It would be better to wait a little longer.

"Thank you for the Hall Master's gift. With an Immortal Herb, at most one year of full-time cultivation will be enough for me to advance to the Titled rank!"

Dugu Bo spoke excitedly. He had also read the Immortal Herb illustrated guide. The one most suitable for him was the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma. The others might be better, but leaving them for future generations was not a bad choice either.

"It is nothing. In that case, Sister A Yin and I will go to Heaven Dou City and meet the head of the Ye Family."

"Second Elder, after we leave, do not remove your mask until we return."

Xu Xin spoke indifferently. Soon. Very soon.

Dugu Bo nodded. He knew what to do. For the coming period, he would focus on cultivation and leave everything to the Ninja Soldiers. They could handle it anyway.

Dugu Bo slowly walked over to the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma, plucked the herb, and swallowed it.

Xu Xin left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with A Yin. Liu Erlong? She was still being lectured by Lu Xing'er...

Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. At this time, the emperor of Heaven Dou was still Xue Ye!

Xue Qinghe and his brothers were all still around...

On the road, A Yin and Xu Xin walked slowly together.

"Xu Xin, what is that white vertical mark on your forehead?" A Yin stared curiously at the mark between his brows.

A Yin had wanted to ask for a long time, but she had never found a suitable opportunity.

"The Heavenly Eye!"

"My third Soul Ring dropped a soul bone—an External Soul Bone. I embedded it in my brow, and it became the Heavenly Eye."

Xu Xin explained slowly. The two of them no longer looked like siblings now; they were nearly the same height.

"You really are quite lucky." A Yin could not help but feel envious.

"Hehe, meeting Sister A Yin was my real good fortune." Xu Xin waved his hand and smiled.

"Speaking of that, did you recognize me from the very beginning?" A Yin rubbed his head, and her tone changed slightly.

She was not stupid. After spending so much time together, she was certain that this fellow had known her before. As for how he knew her, A Yin had no idea.

"Hehe, how could that be? I am not a prophet, am I..."

"And you say you were not? You brat, you definitely had ulterior motives back then!"

"I did not back then..."

"You did not back then, but you do now, right!"

"..."

The two teased each other as they hurried toward Heaven Dou City.

"Sister A Yin, this should be the place, right?"

Inside Heaven Dou City, Xu Xin and A Yin stood before a medical clinic. The clinic was not large, but there was an endless stream of pedestrians outside its entrance!

Clearly, they had all come because of Ye Shengxin's exceptional healing abilities.

"It should be. Ye Family Clinic, and with so many people here, this must be it."

A Yin looked around and spoke.

"Let us go. We can come back later. First, let us look around. Sister A Yin, we have not explored Heaven Dou City yet."

Xu Xin took A Yin's hand and smiled faintly.

"Let us go!" A Yin smiled brilliantly, as gentle as a spring breeze.

On the streets, the two looked like a perfect match, strolling about like a couple. The bustling pedestrians could not help stopping to look at them.

A Yin's peerless grace, Xu Xin's spirited bearing...

Standing together, it was difficult to tell that they were siblings...

The two wandered around for an entire afternoon. Only when Ye Family Clinic was about to close did they arrive with gifts to pay a visit.

"Senior Ye, forgive us for disturbing you so abruptly."

Xu Xin set the gifts aside and quietly looked at the old man before him.

"You two need not bring gifts when seeking treatment."

Ye Shengxin spoke slowly, looking at the gifts Xu Xin had placed on the ground. His expression was gentle, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Patients these days were truly simple and honest. They even knew to bring gifts...

Xu Xin smiled faintly. "Senior Ye, we are not here for treatment. We have come to ask for your help with something."

A Yin nodded from the side as well.

Ye Shengxin froze for a moment, then said, "In that case, please wait a moment."

With that, Ye Shengxin rose. After closing the clinic's doors, he led Xu Xin and A Yin into the rear courtyard.

The rear courtyard was where they lived, and ordinarily, few people came there.

"Please, have a seat."

A woman slowly emerged from the courtyard and poured Xu Xin and A Yin each a cup of tea.

Xu Xin looked the woman over. She was likely Ye Lingling's aunt, Ye Qingxian.

Ye Lingling was Ye Shengxin's granddaughter, which meant he had a son as well.

He just did not know where that son was. Ye Lingling had not even been born yet...

"Thank you, Sister," Xu Xin said politely.

Ye Qingxian merely nodded and said nothing else.

Very soon, Ye Shengxin came over.

"Young friends, may I ask what brings you here?" Ye Shengxin did not exchange too many pleasantries and asked directly. He was merely a small Soul Sage with little combat ability.

Other than treating illnesses, he could not think of anything else people might seek him out for.
