Ye Lingling gently bit her lower lip, her eyes reddening as she said, "Teacher... although my Fourth Soul Skill can instantly restore a Soul Master to their peak condition, it can't increase my companions' strength..."

Lin Yuan smiled. "Ling Ling, you must remember that the reason the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is called the strongest support-type martial soul on the entire continent is that your martial soul can heal everyone over a wide area."

"Moreover, the higher your Soul Power, the stronger your healing ability becomes. If you break through to level one hundred in the future and become a God-level Expert, you could instantly heal even gods back to their optimal condition."

Sitting in his chair, Lin Yuan looked at Ye Lingling, whose eyes were damp at the corners, and said gently, "You want to ask about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, don't you?"

"Mm." Ye Lingling nodded firmly. "As the strongest support-type sect on Douluo Continent, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's members can never break through level seventy-nine in their lives, the boosts they provide are enough to shock even Title Douluo."

"If my martial soul could provide an attack boost, even just one kind, I wouldn't have to fear Soul Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Likewise, Soul Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda think the same way."

Resting his chin on one hand, Lin Yuan said with a smile, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is considered the strongest support-type martial soul because its enhancement effects can be used even by Title Douluo. But what you don't know, Ling Ling, is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has its own drawback: its members cannot break through to Soul Douluo, much less become gods."

Ye Lingling nodded as if she understood. For someone like her, who had only just entered the Soul Ancestor rank, breaking through to Title Douluo was already incredibly difficult, let alone reaching level one hundred and becoming a God-level Expert unseen in ten thousand years.

Just then, Lin Yuan spread open his right hand, and a rich, fragrant scent rushed forth, making the energy throughout the courtyard turn gentle.

It was a very strange immortal herb. Its roots and leaves below resembled trailing vines and fine, combed curtains, yet at its peak bloomed a dazzling golden tulip. Its rich fragrance gave off an air of splendor and magnificence.

Ye Lingling blinked her lively eyes and looked at the golden Immortal Grade Herb before her, asking in confusion, "Teacher, what kind of herb is this?"

Lin Yuan answered, "This is called the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It is an Immortal Grade Herb, and one I personally selected for you."

The Aromatic Silk Beauty was the king of Immortal Herbs. It could discern the properties of all spiritual objects between heaven and earth and command them. It possessed every ability related to scent, and its fragrance could even alter a person's aura.

Before it, the combat power of all plant-type soul beasts would be halved.

"You must not swallow the flower. Gently inhale its pistil and slowly draw its essence into your body. Then cultivate your Soul Power and let the medicinal effects gradually spread through all four limbs and every bone."

Ye Lingling accepted the Aromatic Silk Beauty her teacher handed over. Though she did not know what it truly was, she could sense the vast energy fluctuations within it.

"Go absorb it. I'll stand guard for you here. No one will disturb you."

Lin Yuan lightly tapped the ground with his right foot, and a special stream of Soul Power spread through the courtyard, forming a barrier. Not even a mosquito could fly inside.

Ye Lingling turned and sat on the ground. Following Teacher Lin Yuan's instructions, she began continuously absorbing the energy within the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Lin Yuan stood quietly where he was, waiting for Ye Lingling to finish absorbing it. He just wondered what other changes Ling Ling would undergo afterward.

Taking advantage of the spare time, Lin Yuan went to another corner of the courtyard and poured the previously extracted spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into a water pit he had prepared beforehand.

The instant the two differently colored spring waters poured into the pit, their incompatible energies began twisting around each other, eventually and slowly forming a separate hot spring.

Cultivating here would yield twice the result with half the effort, and it could also greatly increase one's cultivation. As long as one could endure for long enough, the benefits would be unimaginable.

Lin Yuan returned to the front courtyard. At this moment, Ye Lingling's transformation was especially magnificent. Her Nine Heart Begonia, shining with a nine-colored halo, floated quietly before her. Amid the flickering of four rings, it was set off by a dense layer of golden light.

The golden light was released from Ye Lingling herself, carrying the rich fragrance of tulips. As the golden hue flowed around her, she seemed like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Each time the golden light intensified, Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia became even more dazzling and radiant.

No one knew how much time had passed before the light around Ye Lingling finally dimmed. At the same time, an immense wave of energy erupted, causing all the buildings in the courtyard to shake violently.

After a moment, the golden light around Ye Lingling had completely withdrawn. Her right hand supported her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, beneath which a faint golden glow resembling tulip petals could be seen.

When Ye Lingling sensed the changes in her Soul Power, she said excitedly, "Teacher, my Soul Power has increased by six levels. I'm now a level forty-seven Soul Ancestor!"

Lin Yuan asked, "Do you feel that your martial soul has changed?"

Ye Lingling sensed it carefully, but she did not find any changes in the Nine Heart Begonia. She only felt that its healing effects could now easily heal even a Soul Emperor.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the Nine Heart Begonia in Ye Lingling's palm. Based on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the original work, the Aromatic Silk Beauty should be able to evolve a martial soul while also increasing Soul Power.

If Ye Lingling's Soul Power had only increased, then something was clearly not right.

Just then, Ye Lingling suddenly raised her head. "Teacher, I understand... my Soul Skill has changed."

One had to know that the Nine Heart Begonia possessed only one specialty.

No matter how many soul rings it had, it possessed only one Soul Skill. That was precisely what made it terrifying: its effect was wide-range group healing.

The degree of healing could be controlled according to the Soul Master's will. The higher the level and the more soul rings one possessed, the more Soul Power could be used for healing.

Ye Lingling had never imagined that one day, her Soul Skill would undergo a change. Moreover, her originally group-healing Soul Skill could now provide a Soul Power boost as well.

In other words, while healing Soul Masters, she could also restore the Soul Power within their bodies. Just like the Nine Heart Begonia's healing ability, it depended entirely on her will. As long as Ye Lingling wished it, she could instantly restore a Soul Master's Soul Power to its peak state.

This was equivalent to Oscar's Ninth Soul Skill. Such a terrifying support-type Soul Master—if she broke through to level one hundred in the future, then those by her side would practically reach a state of immortality.
