Wind Chime Grass, a Master and Disciple with No Tacit Understanding
"Hmm, not bad. In terms of strength and defense alone, compared to other Soul Master of the same type with ordinary Martial Soul, you have a certain advantage, even when fighting ten levels higher. However, if you had been a little faster, you could have dodged that third attack. You still need to practice more."
Broad Hill nodded in satisfaction, but also pointed out Xiu'er's mistake in the battle.
"Yes, Master." Xiu'er's little face turned serious again.
"Alright, someone come and treat them both."
Broad Hill called out again to the sidelines, and two Soul Master came out.
One Food System, and the other Healing System. After checking Xiu'er's injuries, the two also gave her some instructions on what to pay attention to during her Medicinal Bath that evening.
"Now you know why we're not worried about Sister Xiu'er's willpower."
Han Li looked at Dugu Yan, who still seemed somewhat dazed.
"Yes, Xiu'er, no, Xiu'er has always trained like this."
Dugu Yan looked at Xiu'er, who was receiving treatment in the arena and had regained her sweet smile and her gentle and weak appearance, and her expression was somewhat complicated.
"Well, there's nothing we can do. That's just how Xiu'er Xiu'er's Martial Soul is. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It'll get better in the future. Maybe when she gets stronger, Soul Master of the same or higher level won't be able to break through her defenses. After her Martial Soul Evolution, the injuries she suffered have actually lessened a lot."
Han Li's voice softened unconsciously as he reached out and waved to Xiu'er was looking over from the center of the arena.
"I want to train like this from now on, and my Grandfather will pay for it."
Dugu Yan first said through gritted teeth, then added shyly, blushing slightly.
Han Li was taken aback at first, then said with a wry smile, "You're mainly focusing on ranged attacks right now, so why are you trying to emulate Xiu'er? Your training method should be similar to mine. You don't need to worry about that. Your master and sparring team will test your abilities and provide you with appropriate training methods later."
"Well, we also need to add aerial combat, which I need to learn as well. We can do it together then. As for the money, forget about it. You and Grandfather are my followers, so I can afford it. Don't be shy. After all, I need people."
As he finished speaking, he winked at Dugu Yan, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"That won't do. There are three people in our family. We can't let you bear the burden all of it. Anyway, I'm Grandfather's only granddaughter. If he doesn't spend money on me, who will he spend money on? I'll write to him later."
Dugu Yan is also stubborn, but when it comes to tricking her Grandfather, she doesn't hold back at all.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Han Li gave up the idea. He decided to just have them take a card with them when he delivered the carriage to the old man.
Dugu Bo was prepared to donate his family fortune at the time, Han Li had naturally learned about it. Most of the old man's assets were fixed assets, and he didn't have much cash on hand.
Don't squander that little bit of wealth in Heaven Dou City. It's real estate in one of the three most prosperous cities on the continent. It's not worth it to sell it rashly.
After the treatment was completed, the group of five headed towards the living room.
The two little girls voluntarily fell to the back, talking about something.
Han Li then looked at Azure Luan. He hadn't seen his senior uncle for a long time. He had only exchanged a brief greeting in the Worship Hall before, and he had just been an observer throughout the process without asking any questions.
"Uncle-Master, you didn't take the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, did you?"
"No, your Master Lion has tried it, and the effect is not bad, but as your master said, its effect on us is limited. Well, it should be quite effective for your Golden Crocodile Martial Uncle, since it is in line with his path. I hope he can break through smoothly."
"What? Xiao Li, have you changed your mind? Or is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon useful to you? Then you can take this one; it won't be of much use to me."
As Azure Luan spoke, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon appeared in her hand and was handed to Han Li.
"Senior Uncle, you misunderstand. How could I possibly take back something I've given away? You keep it; I don't need it. Here, this is for you. I specially saved it for you. Although it's not exactly Immortal Herb, it's still a near- Immortal Herb, especially since it's quite compatible with your attributes."
Han Li amused and exasperated, pushed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon back and took out a flower with a bell-shaped corolla from his wristband, white at the bottom and pale purple at the edges, and handed it over.
"Uncle-Master, it's called Wind Chime Grass. It's wind-attribute, and it also has some sonic and mental attacks, like this."
As Han Li spoke, he gently touched the petal with his Soul Power, and a bell rang out, causing faint ripples to appear in the air in front of him.
"It's perfect for you. You can study it for a while first. Don't rush to eat it. I've done some processing to ensure that its spiritual essence and medicinal properties remain intact for a month and a half. Once you've finished studying it, just wash it clean and swallow it whole. Oh, and don't chew it."
Han Li pointed to the roots that were wrapped in soil from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and explained the specific method of ingestion before stopping.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Azure Luan didn't say anything, just took it and put it into his storage space. He also had a device that could store living things, but it wasn't very big, which was why Broad Hill didn't ask him for it directly at the time.
Han Li didn't say anything else. Although he called him "Uncle-Master," their relationship was not much different from that of a master and disciple.
When he gets back, he'll use the recipes from Chrysanthemum Douluo's Plant Encyclopedia to get some good stuff, and then send some to his master. Even if he can't break through in one go, he can still get Azure Luan past the level Level 97 threshold by relying on the rare herbs.
Broad Hill, who was standing to the side, also smiled. He was so happy that the two people closest to him had such a harmonious relationship.
"When you go into seclusion later, remember to tell me that I'll give you a surprise when you come out."
Broad Hill suddenly thought of something and said to Azure Luan.
"A surprise? What surprise?" Azure Luan asked curiously.
"Hey, don't ask anymore. If I told you in advance, would it still be a surprise? I just thought you were too quiet, so I wanted to give you something to do. I'll talk to Xiao Li about it later. Don't worry, I guarantee you won't refuse this time."
Broad Hill wore a mysterious expression and winked at Han Li.
Han Li looked at his master with a blank expression. What was he talking about? Why was he asking him for advice? He didn't know anything about it.
However, seeing Broad Hill constantly giving him meaningful glances, he nodded.
Never mind, I'll ask Master after my senior uncle leaves.
I hope Master won't cause any big commotion. No, I have to keep an eye on him. If things get bad, I'll go complain to my Grand Uncle-Master! Azure Luan glanced at the master and disciple who had absolutely no chemistry, smiled, but didn't ask any more questions.
