Going Home!

"Xiao Yu, External Soul Bones are extremely rare and precious, not only because the conditions for their appearance are exceptionally stringent, but also because they can evolve alongside the growth of their Soul Master." Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Lin Yu nodded.

Bibi Dong did not tell Lin Yu that External Soul Bones could be stripped away. As the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall and her disciple, she believed no one would dare lay a hand on Lin Yu.

Moreover, when Lin Yu had displayed his External Soul Bone, Bibi Dong had observed it closely. This soul bone seemed to be autonomously fusing with Lin Yu; it likely wouldn't take long before the fusion was complete, so there was no need for concern.

"Xiao Yu, what do you plan to do next?" Bibi Dong sat back down and asked about Lin Yu's intentions.

"Teacher, I plan to go home and visit my grandfather." Lin Yu retracted the Eight Spider Lances, moved behind Bibi Dong, and began to massage her shoulders.

Although Bibi Dong no longer suffered from headaches after taking the Immortal Herb, Lin Yu still habitually massaged her, and Bibi Dong naturally did not refuse, continuing to enjoy his service.

"Go home? No problem. After all, you've been at Martial Soul Hall for two years now; it's normal to miss home." Bibi Dong closed her eyes and tilted her head, readily agreeing.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"I plan to rest for one night before setting out. I just came back from the Star Dou Forest and want to take a break." Lin Yu answered naturally, without any restraint.

"Mm. When you go, have Yue Guan accompany you. I have some tasks for Ghost." Bibi Dong did not refuse upon hearing Lin Yu's words, but this time she only had Yue Guan protect Lin Yu alone.

After taking the Immortal Herb, the shortcomings of both Yue Guan and Ghost had been remedied. Yue Guan's attacks were now by no means weak; while not the strongest among Titled Douluo, they were not something an ordinary Titled Douluo could withstand.

"Alright, Teacher. Then I'll take my leave." Lin Yu had no objections and prepared to depart.

"What? Do you dislike your teacher so much that you want to leave as soon as you're back?" Bibi Dong's tone turned slightly stern upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

"How could that be, Teacher? Your disciple absolutely has no such thoughts." Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Lin Yu quickly explained.

"Hmph! I'd better believe you wouldn't dare. Go on, then." Bibi Dong herself did not notice that she had revealed a hint of girlish demeanor in front of Lin Yu, nothing like the revered Pope adored by tens of thousands!

However, this change in Bibi Dong was all due to absorbing Lin Yu's Soul Blood.

The Soul Blood acted directly on Bibi Dong's soul. As time passed, Lin Yu's position in Bibi Dong's heart would grow heavier and heavier, becoming irreplaceable.

And because of this drop of Soul Blood, Bibi Dong would become Lin Yu's possession.

"Then I'll take my leave, Teacher." After saying this, Lin Yu left the Pope Hall with a peculiar expression on his face.

The next day, news of the peerless Immortal Herb in the Star Dou Forest spread across the entire Douluo Continent.

In just one night, the matter of the Immortal Herb became the talk of everyone.

"Uncle Sword, do you think this information is true or false?" Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi asked for Sword Douluo Chenxin's opinion.

But before Chenxin could reply, another Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, spoke up first.

"How could it possibly be true? Spreading this information across the entire continent in a single night—only Martial Soul Hall could accomplish such a feat. I don't believe Martial Soul Hall would be so kind-hearted as to share news of an Immortal Herb." Gu Rong's face showed a disdainful expression.

"Fengzhi, I agree with Old Bones this time. This is clearly a scheme by Martial Soul Hall." This time, Chenxin did not refute Gu Rong's words but instead agreed.

"Oh? I never thought you'd actually see that this is a scheme by Martial Soul Hall, Chenxin." Gu Rong laughed as he looked at Chenxin.

But Chenxin had no intention of acknowledging Gu Rong at that moment; he only looked at Ning Fengzhi with a grave expression.

Why was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect called the Seven Treasures? Because its Martial Soul only had seven layers, and its Soul Power could at most reach level seventy-nine, becoming a seven-ring Soul Saint.

This had always been Ning Fengzhi's sore spot, so upon hearing that a Martial Soul could evolve, Ning Fengzhi was certain to be tempted.

This was also Bibi Dong's open scheme. She knew that Ning Fengzhi had always been fixated on only being able to cultivate to level seventy-nine, which was why she spread the news of Martial Soul evolution.

After all, a Martial Soul with only seven layers was already hailed as the strongest auxiliary tool-type Martial Soul on the continent. What kind of abilities would it possess after evolution?

"Uncle Sword, whether this is a scheme or not, I have to take the gamble. If it is a scheme, with the two of you here, nothing should go wrong. If it's true, once my Martial Soul evolves, even Martial Soul Hall will no longer be able to threaten our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At that point, our sect will be the strongest on the continent." Ning Fengzhi's expression was extremely serious, but he still intended to head to the Star Dou Forest to investigate.

"Sigh." Hearing Ning Fengzhi's reply, Chenxin knew he could not change Ning Fengzhi's mind, so he stopped trying to dissuade him.

After all, what Ning Fengzhi said was not wrong. With him and Gu Rong guarding by his side, he believed no one could harm Ning Fengzhi, so he said no more.

Such conversations echoed in every major force, but few could resist the temptation; all planned to head to the Star Dou Forest to investigate. This was Bibi Dong's goal.

Though everyone knew it was a scheme by Martial Soul Hall, so what? No one could resist the allure.

However, none of this had anything to do with Lin Yu. After all, Martial Soul Hall itself possessed real Immortal Herbs, and he had already consumed one.

What he needed to do now was prepare to go home and visit Old Jack in Holy Soul Village.

Lin Yu had considered giving an Immortal Herb to Old Jack, but Old Jack was far too old and had no Soul Power to begin with; he simply could not withstand the energy of an Immortal Herb. In the end, Lin Yu abandoned that idea.

He planned to take Old Jack to the God Realm after he became a god.

"Junior disciple, are you going out again?" An unexpected visitor appeared at Lin Yu's door—Hu Liena.

"Mm? Senior sister, why are you here? I am indeed going out. I plan to go home and visit my grandfather." Lin Yu was a bit surprised to see Hu Liena, but he did not hide anything and told her directly.

"Really? Can you take me along? I want to go out and have some fun too." Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Yu's hand, pleading.

However, upon hearing Hu Liena's request, Lin Yu's expression turned somewhat troubled.

This time, Lin Yu not only planned to visit Old Jack but also intended to search for Tang San's soul beast mother near Holy Soul Village. After all, where the Blue Silver Emperor was located, there was also a hundred-thousand-year soul bone—why not take it if it was there for the taking?
