The Clue of Lovesick Heartbreak Red

"Brother Chen Yuan, I've been diligently cultivating these past two days."

Upon seeing Chen Yuan, Xiao Xiao immediately unleashed her Soul Power, which was already close to level forty-two. It seemed that Xiao Xiao had been diligently cultivating while Chen Yuan was away.

Xiao Xiao was very proud of her current cultivation level. She was thirteen years old and was already close to level forty-two. According to the information she had gathered, she was one of the students in Shrek Outer Court who had improved their cultivation the fastest in recent years.

It's similar to Chen Yuan's experience; Chen Yuan also broke through to the Soul Ancestor around the age of thirteen.

Unfortunately, Chen Yuan at that time lacked the Heart of Life and resources, so his cultivation speed was affected by resources and limited by his Ultimate Attribute, making his advancement somewhat slow.

It seems that he used a fire-attribute spirit fruit he bought at the Treasure Appreciation Fair to break through to the next level.

It's hard to say exactly who's faster or slower, since only the individual Soul Master know their own cultivation progress.

Xiao Xiao was very lucky. In just over two years, she went from a level 19 Soul Master to a level 41 Soul Ancestor. This progress would astound anyone who came here.

After removing the third level of Soul Power absorbed from the Soul Ring, Xiao Xiao increased her Soul Power by a total of nineteen levels. After removing the Soul Power absorbed from the Soul Bone, what remains is the soul power she cultivated herself, as well as the Soul Power she cultivated with Chen Yuan.

The Martial Soul Fusion Cultivation Accelerator—once you use it, you'll know how fast it is; it's simply incomparable to the speed of solitary hard work.

"By the way, Chen Yuan, what level are you now?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Chen Yuan with great anticipation. Before Chen Yuan, she had never heard of a sixteen-year-old Soul Emperor.

"You're only at level 67, you still have a lot to work on."

"Sixty-seven?! Brother Chen Yuan, I'll accompany you in cultivation every night from now on, so stop having such unrealistic dreams."

Xiao Xiao shook her head helplessly. Recently, the cultivation levels of several people have been constantly approaching Chen Yuan's, so it's normal for Chen Yuan to feel pressured.

Not long ago, he was only level 58. It would have been reasonable for him to absorb the Soul Bone and break through to level 60. But after one Soul Hunting, he was already level 67.

No one would believe this.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's disbelieving expression, Chen Yuan sighed helplessly. These days, no one believes you when you tell the truth. Being far stronger than your peers is a kind of trouble too.

When the blood-red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring appeared, Xiao Xiao's mind went blank for a moment.

Who am I? Where am I? Why is there a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring here? Could it be a Simulation Soul Skill like Huo Yuhao's? But Brother Chen Yuan wouldn't lie to me.

"Brother Chen Yuan, is that really Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?"

"Yeah, I was lucky, how about it?"

If Chen Yuan gets a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring but doesn't act tough, then what's the point of him getting it?

Xiao Xiao's face showed a hint of envy, but she quickly withdrew it.

"I'm not envious. I have Twin Martial Souls, and I'll have a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring someday. Maybe Brother Chen Yuan will need my help with your ninth Soul Ring in the future."

"Then you'd better hurry, I might reach Level 90 anytime soon."

"Hehe, Brother Chen Yuan, I need your help with my cultivation!"

Chen Yuan:???

What terrible lines!

After tapping Xiao Xiao on the head, Chen Yuan took out a pair of Darkgold Terrorclaw from his Storage Soul Tool, which he had previously obtained from the Soul Bone wholesaler in Di Tian.

It wasn't that Chen Yuan didn't want to hand over the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo to Xiao Xiao now; it was just that giving it to her now would be too low in terms of cost-effectiveness.

The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo did not condense any Immortal Herb crystals similar to the Blazing Glue and the Aromatic Silk Heart, and its age was only 100,000 years.

If we were to give the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo to Xiao Xiao now, Xiao Xiao would probably reach at least level 48. Wouldn't that be blatantly telling others that there's something wrong with it?

Let's wait until things calm down before bringing it up again.

However, you don't need to wait for the Darkgold Terrorclaw.

Seeing Chen Yuan take out two dark golden claws from his Soul Tool, Xiao Xiao was full of doubt. After feeling the Soul Power fluctuations on them, Xiao Xiao was somewhat numb.

First, he had Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and now he's produced two External Soul Bone. Chen Yuan is truly a treasure boy! A treasure in the literal sense.

When Xiao Xiao saw Chen Yuan hand her the right paw, her little head was completely blank.

"Brother Chen Yuan, this is a mistake with the External Soul Bone; it's better if you absorb it yourself!"

"Don't worry, I definitely have one myself. Just take it. By the way, this Soul Bone has rather high requirements for physical fitness."

This Darkgold Terrorclaw claw is probably around seven thousand years old. If it weren't for the rarity of External Soul Bone, it would be impossible for Di Tian to collect it.

Looking at the External Soul Bone in her hand, and then at Chen Yuan, who was talking eloquently and constantly reminding her of precautions, Xiao Xiao mustered her courage and hugged Chen Yuan's neck.

The moment her lips touched her cheek, Xiao Xiao clenched her fists tightly, her ear tips turning bright red.

"Thank you, Brother Chen Yuan. Bye-bye, I'm going back to cultivate now. I don't want to be just a pretty face by Brother Chen Yuan's side from now on!"

Without daring to look at Chen Yuan's reaction, she turned and ran, even using her Soul Power. Her back looked flustered, and she didn't seem so fearless after all.

The next day at noon, Chen Yuan arrived at the cafeteria and saw Bei Bei and the others already gathered around.

"Where did you two go last night instead of going back to the dorm?"

"Something happened, and surprisingly, Bei Bei and I weren't the first to know you were back. If Yuhao hadn't told us, neither of us would have known."

"I was just assuming the two of you were in the dorm, but who knew you two wouldn't come back all night."

"Alright, what were you two talking about? You all look so gloomy."

Bei Bei and the others all turned their attention to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao felt there was nothing to hide, so he took the initiative to explain.

"It's like this, Brother Chen, have you ever heard of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red)?"

Upon hearing the words "Lovesick Heartbreak Red," Chen Yuan appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

The timing and preconditions are both wrong; Huo Yuhao shouldn't know the name "Lovesick Heartbreak Red" at this point.

Compared to other Immortal Herb, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red is less well-known. This Immortal Herb is only briefly mentioned in the widely circulated legend of the Sea God.

As for the fact that Xiao Wu's sacrifice was due to being kept alive by the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Chen Yuan has not heard anyone mention it so far.

Therefore, it's highly suspicious that Huo Yuhao suddenly mentioned the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"The Lovesick Heartbreak Red'? What's that? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Brother Chen, as you know, Sister Xiaotao's martial soul is damaged. According to the teacher and Senior Brother Yan's deductions, after Sister Xiaotao obtains her seventh Soul Ring, she will be stuck at the Soul Saint realm for the rest of her life, which may even affect her lifespan."

At this point, Huo Yuhao was extremely frustrated.

"Sister Xiaotao is such a proud person, she definitely can't accept herself like this, so Senior Brother Yan, Teacher Wang, and I consulted many ancient books and found some information about the 'Lovesick Heartbreak Red' Immortal Herb."

"I don't know the specific effects, but this Lovesick Heartbreak Red is known as the king of Immortal Herb, so its effects must be stronger than other Immortal Herb. Immortal Herb can Martial Soul Evolution, so Lovesick Heartbreak Red can definitely restore Sister Xiaotao."

"However, the academy only has a few words about the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Brother Chen, you've read quite a few books, have you seen any description of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in any of them?"

So that's how it is. Yan Shaozhe really would do anything for Ma Xiaotao. It makes sense that he would ask Wang Yan, who knows the most about the information, to help him search through ancient books for clues about the Immortal Herb.

But why does it feel like such a coincidence?

How could so many books contain only a few words about the Lovesick Heartbreak Red) in such a short time?

Seeing Huo Yuhao like this, Bei Bei quickly comforted him. He had seen Huo Yuhao's feelings for Ma Xiaotao over the past few days.

However, Bei Bei was powerless to do anything. The Tang Sect's foundation had long been seized, and all sorts of precious information had long since disappeared. She didn't know if the Iron Blood Sect had preserved any of those things.

I don't think so, do I?

After all, at best, the Iron Blood Sect was just a henchman to eliminate the Tang Sect. If the Tang Sect really left anything behind, it would definitely have been taken by the people behind it.

Bei Bei had also thought of this, but so far, there was no clue as to who was secretly helping the Iron Blood Sect to destroy the Tang Sect.

"I'm certain I haven't seen it before. Perhaps you could ask the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."

Chen Yuan said this.

"Everyone knows the story of the Shrek Seven Devils becoming gods ten thousand years ago, but the powerful forces associated with them might have different accounts."

"If the Tang Sect was destroyed and Shrek Academy is also missing, then the White Tiger Duke Mansion, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect School have a higher probability of having clues. If they don't have any either, then I'm afraid—"

"Of these three forces, it's hard to say how much of the White Tiger Duke Mansion's ten-thousand-year-old heritage remains. The Clear Sky Sect is in seclusion, so you can only try your luck with the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."

"Oh right, thanks, Brother Chen Yuan. I'll go ask Ning Tian right now!"

Chen Yuan had given this answer a lot of thought. The Clear Sky Sect was in seclusion, and Wang Dong'er had not revealed her Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, so no one knew that she was the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.

Huo Yuhao slammed his fist on the table and immediately went to find Ning Tian, but no matter how much Bei Bei called out to him, he couldn't be called back.

Watching Huo Yuhao's departing figure, Chen Yuan felt that so far, there hadn't been many opportunities for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er to get involved.

Chen Yuan didn't believe that God King Tang wasn't involved. Chen Yuan had taken precautions against everything during the competition, but it still happened.

Where do so many coincidences come from in this world?

"Chen Yuan, do you think Junior Brother can find the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"

"Impossible."

"Huh? Then why did you say so much just now?"

"I only said that these three forces, which are directly related to the gods and have a history of tens of thousands of years, have a higher probability of being recorded."

"If finding Immortal Herb were that easy, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's inherited martial soul would have been the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda long ago."

Even if you knew the specific effects of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, what good would it do? It's all for nothing if you don't know where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is.

"Brother Chen Yuan, Tian Tian's been so engrossed in studying the theory of Martial Soul Evolution lately, she's practically going crazy. If she finds out you're trying to shift the blame, you're in big trouble."

"Don't worry, I estimate that few people on the entire continent are more familiar with the historical records related to Immortal Herb than Ning Tian. I believe she can handle it."

If the materials in Shrek Library, along with the ten-thousand-year-old records of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, still couldn't make Ning Tian, who had thoroughly read all this knowledge, Grandmaster in this field, Chen Yuan would have to question the authenticity of those materials.
