No More Nine Heart Begonias in This World

In the blink of an eye, four months passed.

Over those four months, Xu Hanfeng drew two Permanent Soul Bone Cards.

He gave them to Ya Li and Ling Luochen, raising them to 1-star.

Xu Hanfeng felt that the stronger he became, the higher the chances of drawing Permanent Cards.

"Grandpa Dugu, I plan to visit your Medicine Garden and see if there are any good Spirit Herbs and Elixirs."

"Of course." Dugu Bo nodded.

Ever since he had transferred the poison into his soul bones, Dugu Bo had begun cultivating again.

Back then, in order to live longer, Dugu Bo had stopped cultivating entirely after becoming a Title Douluo, since there was too much poison in his body.

"Sister Lingling, Sister Yan, let's go together."

"Okay."

"If you're going, have Patriarch Ye accompany you. Once I take you there, I plan to make a trip out to sea and retrieve that girl Xiaotao's Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly."

Ma Xiaotao had pestered Dugu Bo for an entire month before he finally agreed.

Otherwise, Dugu Bo would never have gone. A trip out to sea took a very long time.

"Mhm, mhm." Ma Xiaotao looked deeply gratified.

Dugu Bo was full of question marks.

Xu Hanfeng hurriedly recalled them into their cards.

Only Ye Liuli and Dugu Bo remained beside him.

"Alright, Aunt Ye, Grandpa Dugu, let's go."

"Alright."

A few days later.

The group arrived at Sunset Forest.

"There's actually an Herb Garden in Sunset Forest?" Ye Liuli asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course. I found it by accident back then."

Dugu Bo nodded. If he had not sensed the poison within his body being suppressed, he would have had a hard time finding this Herb Garden as well.

With a wave of his right hand, Dugu Bo dispersed his poison.

The three entered a valley.

Before him, Xu Hanfeng saw a hot spring. Its waters were milky white and crimson, an exceptionally strange sight.

Warm heat continuously rose from it.

The sight of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well made Xu Hanfeng much more excited.

"Grandpa Dugu, you've truly wasted this place. There are many Immortal Herbs here. They might even let Sister Yan's Martial Soul evolve."

Dugu Bo and Ye Liuli were both stunned upon hearing that.

"Really?!"

Dugu Bo asked in astonishment.

"Of course. Many of these are Immortal Herbs—at least a dozen or so."

As he spoke, Xu Hanfeng took out the Douluo Compendium and scanned a huge chrysanthemum.

Immortal Herb: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum

Effect: Consuming it would nourish the limbs and unblock the eight meridians, allowing one to cultivate an Indestructible Body.

"Gasp... It really is."

Dugu Bo was immediately dumbfounded. His Herb Garden was no longer his, but fortunately, it belonged to his granddaughter's husband.

"Then... should we let Yan Yan and the others out to consume the Immortal Herbs?"

Xu Hanfeng shook his head. "If Sister Yan and Sister Lingling hadn't become cards, they could have. But now, consuming them would be of little use."

"It won't raise their Soul Power, and as for the problems with their Martial Souls, my compendium might be able to resolve them later."

Xu Hanfeng had gained a rough understanding of the Douluo Compendium.

It was a compendium for nurturing Goddesses.

It cultivated them in every aspect.

Soul bones, weapons, and so on.

"When I reached two rings, I obtained a new Trap Card. There may be new cards later on as well."

"That's true."

Dugu Bo nodded.

"Aunt Ye, Grandpa Dugu, I'll choose an Immortal Herb for each of you."

"Alright."

Xu Hanfeng used the Douluo Compendium to inspect them one by one.

He found nearly twenty Immortal Herbs.

Now Xu Hanfeng understood why Dugu Bo was a true tool.

Tang San was truly ruthless. With so many Immortal Herbs, he had not left behind a single one.

Afterward, Xu Hanfeng found the Sacred Healing Begonia and the Nether Poison Dragon Kui.

The Sacred Healing Begonia was as clear and flawless as jade, with pale golden liquid flowing within it.

It had nine layers of petals, nine petals per layer, for a total of eighty-one petals. A soft halo radiated from its pistil.

It emitted a sweet fragrance like honey.

"Aunt Ye, this is the Sacred Healing Begonia. Consuming it can enhance your Healing Ability. It may even be able to evolve your Nine Heart Begonia."

As he spoke, Xu Hanfeng also summoned Ma Xiaotao and the others.

"Wow! What a beautiful place."

"Yes, there are so many spirit herbs here."

After learning the effects of the Sacred Healing Begonia, delight appeared on Ye Lingling's face.

This was the first time Ye Lingling's expression had changed so dramatically.

"Alright." Ye Liuli gently rubbed Ye Lingling's head.

"Aunt Ye, use Soul Power to envelop the entire Immortal Herb, turning it into liquid before slowly absorbing it."

"Alright."

Ye Liuli raised the Sacred Healing Begonia in her right hand, and threads of Soul Power wrapped around it.

The moment the Sacred Healing Begonia encountered Soul Power, it seemed to have met its natural enemy and instantly liquefied.

The instant Ye Liuli consumed the Immortal Herb, a sacred radiance suddenly bloomed from her body.

Everyone around her involuntarily closed their eyes. They only felt themselves enveloped by the light, gripped by an unusually comfortable sensation.

At this moment, Ye Liuli seemed to radiate maternal love, making even Xu Hanfeng feel the urge to throw himself into her embrace.

He shook his head and cast aside that forbidden feeling.

The next second, the Nine Heart Begonia appeared before Ye Liuli, enveloped by the same light.

Everyone held their breath at the sight.

Xu Hanfeng was slightly excited.

It seemed highly likely that the Nine Heart Begonia could evolve.

Once the Nine Heart Begonia evolved, it would no longer have its limitations, and other members of the Ye Family would also be able to awaken the Nine Heart Begonia.

This would be an enormous improvement for the Ye Family.

In the future, the Ye Family would surely become the strongest Healing Type family on the Douluo Continent, though they already were.

But aside from Ye Liuli and Ye Lingling, everyone else possessed mutated Begonia Martial Souls, most of which lacked Healing Ability.

Thus, the entire family relied on Ye Liuli alone.

Time passed second by second.

The sacred, maternal aura around Ye Liuli grew increasingly rich.

Suddenly, the Nine Heart Begonia rose above Ye Liuli's head.

The light faded, and the Nine Heart Begonia's complete new form slowly emerged.

It somewhat resembled a fusion Martial Soul of the Nine Heart Begonia and the Sacred Healing Begonia.

It possessed eighty-one crystal-clear petals, with pale golden liquid flowing inside.

Flower leaves and vines also trailed down from both sides, pinkish-white in color.

Ye Liuli slowly opened her eyes as well.

"Mother."

"Aunt Ye."

Ye Liuli raised her hands, and the new Nine Heart Begonia descended into them.

Even Ye Liuli, who was usually as gentle as water, could not stop her hands from trembling. Her eyes glistened with tears.

"Xiao Feng... thank you. My Martial Soul is now the Nine Heart Sacred Healing Begonia, and it no longer has its former shackles.

"With Lingling becoming your card as well, there will no longer be any Nine Heart Begonias in the Ye Family.

"There will only be Sacred Healing Begonias."

As she spoke, Ye Liuli stepped forward and directly embraced Xu Hanfeng.

Xu Hanfeng's expression froze.

Aunt Ye's body pressed against his. The warmth and softness transmitted through their clothes made his heart race.

A faint, life-filled fragrance washed over him, rich and sweet.

The others did not think much of the scene, only feeling deeply moved.

Tears welled up in Ye Lingling's eyes.

Ma Xiaotao pulled her into her embrace.

Dugu Bo looked up at the sky and sighed.

"There will be no more Nine Heart Begonias in this world."
