The best inn in Qingshan Town.

After repaying Myriad Medicine Hall's money, Su Luo and Su Muyue moved here. Su Muyue was recuperating, while Su Luo waited for the Blood War Mercenary Group to bring the medicinal ingredients he needed.

"Mother, how are you feeling?" Su Luo asked worriedly as he sat beside Su Muyue.

Su Luo trusted Xiao Yi Xian's medical skills, but considering the possible special properties of Martial Soul Soul Skills on the Douluo Continent, as well as Xiao Yi Xian's current age, he was still worried about Su Muyue's condition.

"Mother is fine." Su Muyue rubbed Su Luo's head. Just as she tried to force herself up, Su Luo pressed her back down.

"Mother, rest for now. Leave anything else to me."

"How could I? Mm!"

Su Muyue tried to force herself up, but the sudden pain coursing through her body made her lie back down.

Just as Su Muyue was about to support herself and force herself to rise, Su Luo hurriedly spoke. "Mother, it's safe here for now. Also, don't worry about money. I've already solved that problem."

"How could that be?!" When Su Luo finished speaking, Su Muyue became even more anxious. As a mother, how could she lie here and rely on her eight-year-old son to earn money and care for her? No normal mother could do such a thing.

"Mother, listen to me first. This isn't the Douluo Continent. Even if you wanted to earn money by helping others hunt Soul Rings, that would be impossible."

"This isn't the Douluo Continent?" Su Muyue was startled by Su Luo's words.

"That's right. I asked around. This is the Dou Qi Continent, not the Douluo Continent, where people hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings. There are no Soul Masters here. It's impossible to earn money based on a Soul Master's status. We can't even reveal that we're Soul Masters, because Soul Masters seem not to exist on this continent. At least, there aren't any around us."

"We can still summon Soul Rings, and I feel that Soul Skills can still be used, but if this peculiarity is exposed before others, it will likely bring disaster rather than good fortune."

"So our Su Family's Mutated Martial Soul summoned special Soul Beasts from this continent?" Su Muyue nodded in understanding.

Generally speaking, with a Martial Soul like the Summoning Gate, one would summon whichever Soul Beast had been killed to obtain its Soul Ring. However, the Su Family's Otherworld Gate Martial Soul had Mutated several hundred years ago.

While one of the Su Family's ancestors had been hunting a Soul Ring, his Martial Soul Mutated. For some reason, the creature it summoned was no longer the Soul Beast that had originally been hunted, but some unknown creature from an unknown place.

Under such circumstances, the Su Family received one piece of bad news and one piece of good news.

The bad news was that the summoned beasts of the Su Family's Otherworld Gate Martial Soul were not controllable like those summoned by other Summoning Gates.

The good news was that the creatures summoned by the Su Family's Otherworld Gate Martial Soul were quite powerful. Generally, they possessed the strength of lion-type or even tiger-type Soul Beasts of the same age. The strength of the summoned creatures depended solely on the age of the Soul Ring, ignoring the Soul Beast's bloodline.

This meant that the Su Family could kill a ten-thousand-year wolf-type Soul Beast, yet after activating the Soul Skill granted by that wolf-type Soul Beast, they could summon a ten-thousand-year lion instead. From then on, the Su Family only needed to care about the age of the Soul Beast. It could be said to be a mutation whose benefits outweighed its drawbacks.

It was precisely because the benefits outweighed the drawbacks that the Su Family had passed down this Mutated Martial Soul generation after generation.

"It was fortunate that you thought of using the Su Family's Summoning Gate in reverse back then. Otherwise..."

Speaking of the Su Family's Otherworld Gate Martial Soul, Su Muyue could not help recalling how she and Su Luo had once been hunted by the Qin Family. She gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with sorrow over the choice she had made.

Su Luo: "..."

Su Luo remained silent. He did not know about anything else, but his Summoning Gate Martial Soul was certainly somewhat different from the Su Family's normal Summoning Gate Martial Soul.

"Let's not talk about that. Since I'm still alive, I can't let you earn money. Even if I can't use a Soul Master's abilities, my physical condition is still enough for me to do other work. I'll find some work later."

"There's no need. After learning about this world, I've already found a way to make money. It involves alchemy, and it happens to suit me quite well."

"Alchemy?"

"That's right. From what I've learned, Alchemists are a highly respected profession in this world. I happen to have studied alchemy as well."

This was thanks to his origins in the Dou Ling Empire. The Dou Ling Empire had the Xuanming Sect, a sect skilled in alchemy. When Su Luo wanted to learn a little about it, the Xuanming Sect naturally could not teach him advanced pills with the Su Family's influence, but if it was merely the rudiments of Alchemy Skill, then for the sake of the Su Family's Soul Douluo, and after Su Muyue paid them, they would more or less teach him a little.

Although the Xuanming Sect had only taught him the basics, and Su Luo had only learned the basics, he had already gained the ability to refine medicinal liquids. If he wanted to, Su Luo could even refine some simple pills.

That was precisely why Su Luo had confidently declared that he could refine Blood Coagulating Powder.

Su Muyue gently stroked Su Luo's head. "Whether a profession is respected or not, as a mother, I still can't let my eight-year-old son work and earn money. Leave the money to me. At your age, you should be carefree."

Su Luo: "..."

Eight was the age to be carefree. Some unlucky fellow in Douluo Continent Season 1 had started earning money when he was six.

"Mother, you don't need to worry about money. What matters most right now is recovering your health. After all, there are still some scores to settle with certain people."

A trace of killing intent flashed through Su Luo's eyes. He was not Tang San, blindly filial enough to treat someone as his own father even after being raised like a dog. Su Luo could not do such a thing.

Especially since Qin Hao had tried to kill both Su Muyue and Su Luo in order to seize Su Muyue's dowry and use it to cultivate Qin Teng, Su Luo could be said to have formed an irreconcilable blood feud with Qin Hao and the Qin Family. There was not the slightest possibility of reconciliation.

At the mention of settling scores, Su Muyue's eyes filled with anger. However, when she looked at Su Luo, she quickly composed herself.

"You don't need to worry about the Qin Family. I'll deal with them later. Before, I didn't want to embarrass Qin Hao and wanted to preserve his dignity, which was why he managed to catch up to my Soul Power. Since he has already tried to kill me, I'll let him see the difference between Innate Full Soul Power and Innate Soul Power Rank Five."

"Ah? Innate Full Soul Power?" Su Luo looked at his mother in astonishment. He knew Qin Hao had innate Rank Five Soul Power, but he had never known that his mother, Su Muyue, possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Su Muyue first gave a bitter smile, then her gaze became firm. "I never said anything because I didn't want Qin Hao to feel inferior. But since Qin Hao can't protect my son, then I will protect my son myself."

Su Luo: "..."
