Si Yuan Ye had originally wanted to take Lu Lin on as a nominal disciple, but after some thought, he decided against it.
Although the Body Sect's cultivation techniques had never been passed on to outsiders, this was ultimately not one of their core arts.
Moreover, in Si Yuan Ye's view, this little fellow named Lu Lin was truly somewhat special. Giving him the technique to form a good connection was not a problem.
"However, little friend Lu, remember this well: you must never pass this method on to anyone else."
"Lu Lin will remember."
Lu Lin looked at Si Yuan Ye and answered seriously, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief.
This would cover up the fact that his Body Martial Soul cultivated the Flawless Body Casting Art.
As long as he did not use Soul Power, even someone as powerful as Si Yuan Ye would be unable to see through his origins.
Still, it was a hidden danger, neither big nor small, and it could easily blow up in his face.
Si Yuan Ye nodded slightly and swept his gaze around.
A flicker of amazement passed through his eyes. Wherever he looked, there were Qiluo Tulips, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass...
Without exception, they were all Plant System Soul Beasts with Ninety Thousand Years of cultivation.
Such a miracle was nearly impossible to find in the outside world.
Fortunately, these Immortal Herb Soul Beasts were only at Ninety Thousand Years.
The strength of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was truly terrifying.
For Soul Beasts, reaching a Hundred Thousand Years was a genuine dividing line, a chasm that was nearly impossible to cross in an entire lifetime.
If all these Immortal Herb Soul Beasts had possessed Hundred Thousand Years of cultivation, even Si Yuan Ye would have found them extremely troublesome.
But now, they were still just short of that threshold.
These Immortal Herb Soul Beasts could not even speak yet.
Of course, with the intelligence they currently possessed, communicating mentally with Soul Masters was no issue.
Si Yuan Ye simply could not be bothered with them.
As one of the world's few foremost powerhouses, Si Yuan Ye had naturally heard the legends of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
One of the world's three great treasure basins.
A paradise on earth, where Plant System Soul Beasts were said to cultivate for one day with the equivalent of ten days in the outside world.
It was said that the Tang Sect Master from nine thousand years ago, along with those members of the Shrek Seven Devils, had been able to ascend to the Divine Realm because they had consumed Immortal Herbs.
Before today, Si Yuan Ye had believed it was nothing more than a rumor.
But judging by the ages of these Immortal Herbs, their Ninety Thousand Years of cultivation should all have been left behind by that Tang Sect Master.
Yet in Si Yuan Ye's eyes, these Immortal Herbs were secondary. What truly mattered was the central area.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes formed by the Scorching Sun Spring and Extreme Cold Yin Spring.
If he could take some spring water and use the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot as the foundation to recreate a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes within the sect—
Then, combined with the Body Sect's secret techniques, it would absolutely elevate the effects of a Body Martial Soul Master's second awakening to another level.
As for the true Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes here, Si Yuan Ye would naturally keep them firmly under his control.
There was no way he would let everyone in the sect know about this Secret Realm.
Heh, Mo Yin's decision to bring Ji Ming back had truly been an incomparably correct one.
Si Yuan Ye was in an excellent mood.
He discreetly glanced at Ji Ming, who stood nearby, only to find that Ji Ming remained expressionless, like his face had gone stiff.
Si Yuan Ye shook his head, then looked back at Lu Lin.
"What kind of Immortal Herb do you need, little friend Lu?"
Lu Lin had long since decided on his target.
Upon hearing that, he looked toward the enormous Aromatic Silk Beauty, which resembled an ordinary tulip but was entirely golden and radiated elegance and nobility.
"Senior, it is this Aromatic Silk Beauty.
"This Immortal Herb can alter a Soul Master's innate aptitude at its root, making it the most compatible choice for this junior.
"I must trouble Senior to help me extract its Origin Core."
His reason for choosing the Aromatic Silk Beauty was simple.
This Immortal Herb could fundamentally transform a Soul Master's innate aptitude. In the Douluo Plane, it was unquestionably the finest Immortal Grade treasure for Muscle-Tendon Cleansing Marrow-Washing.
There was no equal to it.
There was another reason as well. Back then, Ning Rongrong had relied on the Aromatic Silk Beauty to evolve her martial soul from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
If his deduction was correct—
After absorbing the Origin Core of a Ninety-Thousand-Year Aromatic Silk Beauty, his martial soul should undergo a similar change.
Afterward, he might even have a chance to learn the secret art of Heart Separation Control from Ning Shuang.
Aromatic Silk Beauty?
Si Yuan Ye nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.
This young friend Lu Lin seemed remarkably familiar with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
The Body Sect's secret arts were related to medicinal principles, natural treasures, and the like.
When it came to medicinal principles, he did not dare claim mastery.
Still, he could more or less discern the effects of the Immortal Grade herb Lu Lin had indicated.
As for the other types of Immortal Grade herbs, he would have to return and study them further.
Si Yuan Ye thought this to himself but said nothing.
Instead, he slowly walked over to the Aromatic Silk Beauty Lu Lin had pointed out, its body glazed gold, noble and magnificent.
At that moment, Si Yuan Ye heard intermittent thoughts entering his mind.
"Hu... man..."
"This... is not... a place... for you..."
Si Yuan Ye remained expressionless and said simply, "Two choices."
"Two Tulip Cores, or become a soul ring."
Si Yuan Ye did not waste any more words. He believed the Immortal Herbs had heard their earlier conversation clearly.
Besides Lu Lin, his own disciple Nan Yunheng also lacked sufficient Innate Soul Power.
As her master, Si Yuan Ye naturally had not forgotten.
The moment Si Yuan Ye finished speaking, the other Immortal Herbs in the valley turned toward him.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass emitted an extreme chill, while Infernal Delicate Apricot surged with scorching heat.
At the very center, the pink Fragrant Silk Immortal gave off a faint mist, seemingly deeply dissatisfied with Si Yuan Ye's attitude.
But in Lu Lin's eyes, it was all merely the Immortal Herbs' Powerless Rage.
Tang Shenwang was currently being watched by Destruction and could not descend to the Mortal Realm at all.
Si Yuan Ye was in no hurry. He simply waited quietly for Aromatic Silk Beauty's answer.
A moment later, Aromatic Silk Beauty's glazed-gold, magnificent body trembled.
Golden radiance flowed at its tip, as though something were being stripped from it.
An instant later.
A golden speck, roughly the size of a fingertip, solid as substance and incomparably dazzling, slowly separated from Aromatic Silk Beauty's Immortal Grade body.
Then it split into two.
At the same time, the golden glow around Aromatic Silk Beauty dimmed somewhat.
It no longer possessed its previous noble grandeur and regal aura.
Si Yuan Ye nodded in satisfaction.
He then raised his right hand, and the two golden specks seemed drawn by an invisible force as they slowly drifted into his palm.
Teacher was absolutely Overbearing Leaking!
Lu Lin silently gave his teacher a thumbs-up, his mood soaring.
Naturally, Si Yuan Ye had no idea that this young friend named Lu Lin was actually his own disciple.
After obtaining Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core, Si Yuan Ye calmly walked to Lu Lin's side and smiled lightly. "Young Friend Lu, it's ready."
"Thank you, Senior."
"Yunheng, come over as well."
Nan Yunheng gently nodded at his words. With graceful steps, she walked over and stood beside Lu Lin.
A delicate fragrance instantly filled Lu Lin's nose.
Lu Lin did not mind. After all, Nan Yunheng was his senior sister.
Si Yuan Ye gave a slight nod. The Golden Light Origin Cores in his hand moved without wind, descending before the two of them and floating silently in the air.
Lu Lin immediately sat down cross-legged.
Nan Yunheng glanced at Lu Lin with her beautiful eyes, her expression calm and unchanged. Then she, too, sat cross-legged and entered meditation.
Ji Ming's incarnation also stepped forward at this time, serving as their protector.
Though there was not really any need for one.
He naturally had no use for Aromatic Silk Beauty. What he needed was Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
This Immortal Herb would greatly benefit his Necromancer's Heavy Eyes martial soul, but there was no need to rush.
As Lu Lin and Nan Yunheng entered meditation.
The two Golden Origin Cores seemed to be drawn by something and instantly flew into Lu Lin and Nan Yunheng's mouths.
Lu Lin immersed his consciousness.
The moment Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core entered his mouth, Lu Lin felt a vast yet gentle force flow through every limb and bone in his body.
At the same time, layers of brilliant golden radiance slowly emerged across the surface of his body, flowing and circulating over his skin like water.
From the outside in, it cleansed his muscles and tendons and washed his marrow at the very root, transforming his innate talent.
Nan Yunheng naturally experienced the same.
However, her appearance had already been otherworldly.
As she absorbed Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core, the dazzling golden light flowing across her body lent her an added air of noble grace and majesty.
She was like a fairy stepped out of a painting.
