Dugu Bo understood as well; he knew who he should obey in Spirit Hall from now on.
Before long, Dugu Bo absorbed the two-thousand-year right leg bone.
Dugu Yan absorbed the four-thousand-year left leg bone given by Qian Jun Douluo, after which they forced the toxins into the spirit bones.
A moment later.
The grandfather and granddaughter were both overjoyed. Not only had the Poison Backlash been temporarily resolved, but they also felt that their poison arts had improved considerably and that their cultivation had become faster.
After clearing out the toxins, Dugu Yan's Soul Power even rose directly from level 25 to level 26.
Dugu Bo also had a feeling that he would break through to level 92 before long!
After resolving Dugu Bo's matter, Lin Yu turned his attention to Qian Jun and Jiang Mo Douluo.
Every one of Spirit Hall's Seven Great Worships treated Lin Yu as their own child and cared for him wholeheartedly.
Lin Yu was also someone who knew how to repay kindness.
How others treated him was how he treated them in return.
Naturally, the Enshrined Elders would not be left out when it came to Immortal Herb resources. Moreover, helping them increase their strength would make it easier to unify the continent in the future.
For powerhouses like them, whose cultivation had been stuck for a long time without any breakthrough, taking another step forward sometimes only required a spark—an opportunity.
And an Immortal Herb was precisely such an opportunity.
Take Chrysanthemum Douluo, for instance. He had spent his entire life searching for the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. If he were allowed to absorb that Immortal Herb, Lin Yu did not dare imagine just how great Chrysanthemum Douluo's potential would be in the future.
Finding an Immortal Herb suited to the Enshrined Elders could not guarantee a breakthrough, but at least it gave them a chance.
Thus, Lin Yu decisively selected two Immortal Herbs and plucked them, handing one to each of the two Enshrined Elders. "Grandpa Qian Jun, Grandpa Jiang Mo, these two Immortal Herbs are the most suitable for you. Try consuming them—they might help you break through to level 97 in one go!"
"Xiao Yu, is that really possible?" The two brothers' eyes burned with excitement.
They had been stuck at the peak of level 96 for who knew how many years, unable to break through. Though they had long stopped hoping for much, their desire to advance another realm had never changed.
"You'll know once you try!"
"Alright!"
The two accepted the Immortal Herbs, each found an open patch of ground, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing them.
A long while later, powerful Soul Power fluctuations erupted from both Qian Jun and Jiang Mo at the same time.
ROAR!!
A dragon's roar thundered through the air.
A blue dragon and a red dragon shot skyward from Qian Jun and Jiang Mo respectively, radiating boundless might.
The next second, they simultaneously shattered the bottleneck that had trapped them for years and stepped into level 97!
"Hehehe! Hahahaha!"
"Level 97, little brother! I broke through to level 97!"
"Big brother! I broke through to level 97 too!"
"Big brother!"
"Little brother!"
The two brothers were beside themselves with joy and excitedly embraced each other.
"Who would have thought that we brothers would one day break through to level 97? When we get back, we have to show off in front of Fifth Brother and the others! Show off!"
"That's right! But we only managed to break through thanks to Xiao Yu!"
"Xiao Yu!"
The twin brothers, still tightly hugging each other, suddenly turned their heads and stared at Lin Yu with blazing eyes.
"Quick! Let your grandpas give you a kiss!"
Lin Yu's body instantly stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Wait! Wait!"
"Mwah~ Mwah! Mwah~!"
Why do these old men always want to kiss people the moment they get excited? Lin Yu stood there with a look of utter despair as Qian Jun and Jiang Mo each planted a flurry of kisses on one side of his face.
"Mmph... mmph!"
Lin Yu could only cover his mouth with his hands to keep them from getting too carried away. If they accidentally stole his first kiss, that would be ridiculous.
If Golden Crocodile Douluo can also break through after absorbing an Immortal Herb, then the Worship Hall will have two level 99 powerhouses. At that point, they'll be even more capable of suppressing that crazy woman Bibi Dong. Lin Yu pondered.
He knew Bibi Dong's ultimate goal: after unifying Douluo Continent, she intended to destroy the foundation of the Six-Winged Angel Clan.
In other words, there would likely be a battle between Bibi Dong and the Worship Hall in the future.
Lin Yu needed to prepare for that in advance as well.
He put those thoughts aside and said to Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, "Grandpas, the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herbs in my body have not yet been fully absorbed. I need to cultivate here for the next few months."
"I also hope Grandpa Jiang Mo can make a trip to Heaven Dou City and tell Sister Xue'er that I'm in Sunset Forest."
"Alright, I'll head over right away." Jiang Mo Douluo did not ask why and readily agreed.
"Qian Renxue, I'll wait here until you cultivate to Level 20. If I break through to Level 20 and you still haven't appeared, then I can only return first."
Lin Yu could not guarantee whether Qian Renxue would truly fake her death to escape and abandon her infiltration plan. After all, a year had passed; it was not impossible that she had changed her mind.
Although he had clearly told Qian Renxue back then that she could become a god, those had ultimately been empty words without proof.
If Qian Renxue chose to continue lurking undercover, Lin Yu would have nothing to say and would respect her decision.
"Let's get acquainted properly, Senior Dugu Bo." Lin Yu took the initiative to extend his hand and introduced himself casually. "I am a member of the Angel Clan, a direct disciple of Spirit Hall's Great Worship Elder, Lin Yu."
"So this child is a disciple of Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu. No wonder, no wonder." Dugu Bo knew very well that anyone who could become the Great Worship Elder's disciple possessed exceptionally high status, standing, and talent within Spirit Hall.
After quickly showing goodwill, Dugu Bo pulled Dugu Yan beside him forward. "Yanyan, hurry. Get to know Young Master Lin Yu."
"Hello, Young Master Lin Yu. My name is Dugu Yan." Dugu Yan brought her legs together, slightly dipped her hips, and performed an elegant curtsy.
"Ah, haha, hello."
Lin Yu shook Dugu Yan's delicate jade-like hand. It was soft and smooth, but he did not linger and immediately withdrew his hand.
Dugu Yan was very curious what kind of genius could become Qian Daoliu's disciple.
She asked curiously, "Young Master Lin Yu, how old are you? What is your Soul Power Level now?"
"Seven. If nothing unexpected happens, I should break through to Level 19 in a few days."
"What?! Your Soul Power has already reached Level 19 at seven years old?!"
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both shocked upon hearing this.
"S-so amazing. Is this what a disciple of Qian Daoliu is like? Truly a favored child of heaven. I think I was only Level 11 when I was seven?"
"His talent is even more outstanding than Yu Tianheng, the number one genius of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" A hint of admiration appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yu eagerly threw himself into cultivation.
There was less than a year left before the Elemental God's First Trial.
Although he was already highly confident that he could complete the First Trial, he could not afford to slack off in cultivation. Lin Yu knew that what came later would be even more difficult.
For now, he needed to break through to Level 20 as soon as possible and absorb his second soul ring.
Over the next period of time, Lin Yu immersed himself in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every day, continuing to digest the residual medicinal effects of the Immortal Herb within his body while meditating to cultivate and raise his Soul Power Level.
In less than seven days, Lin Yu's Soul Power surged into Level 19 in one go!
