Qian Renxue: Lin Yuan, it's so good that you're alive!

Hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, Dugu Yan's fair, delicate face instantly flushed a deep red.

Her mind uncontrollably recalled the shameful scene from just moments ago, when she had been stark naked and facing away from him during the detoxification process.

The young girl was exceptionally well-developed, and her form-fitting clothes outlined a waist so slender it could be grasped in one hand, creating a provocative silhouette.

Especially in this environment, thick with swirling mist.

Those long, straight, and flawless legs radiated an astonishing allure.

"Many thanks, Young Master Lin."

Dugu Yan shyly lowered her gaze, her voice as soft as a buzzing mosquito, as she took the Jade Linglong Saliva Fruit with both hands.

After the previous life-saving grace and the shocking scene that had just transpired.

She had already developed a blind, deep-seated trust in this boy who was a few years younger than herself.

Even if this fruit were a deadly poison, she would swallow it on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

After a brief farewell to Dugu Bo and his granddaughter.

Lin Yuan did not linger in the Sunset Forest, setting off immediately to return to the Martial Soul Hall.

The moment he stepped into the side hall of the Pope's Palace.

A youthful, vibrant figure came jogging over from the side of the path.

"Big Brother!"

Hu Liena's fox-like, captivating face was filled with joy as she hurried directly to Lin Yuan's side.

The instant the distance between them closed, Hu Liena's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

She could feel, with absolute clarity, the faint yet palpable sense of oppression radiating from Lin Yuan.

Compared to before he left for the Soul Hunting Forest, this aura was many times more powerful!

"You've only been gone for a few days, how has your cultivation improved so much again?"

Hu Liena's eyes sparkled as she circled him, unable to stop herself from exclaiming in admiration.

Lin Yuan let her inspect him, his tone easygoing.

"I just happened upon a stroke of fortune along the way."

"Go and call Xie Yue and Yan over as well."

"I have something important to give you all."

Hearing that there was something important, Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned to run outside.

In less than half an incense stick of time.

Xie Yue and Yan followed closely behind Hu Liena as they walked into the side hall.

Having experienced their previous crushing defeat and the subsequent shock, these two top geniuses of the Martial Soul Hall had completely submitted.

In front of Lin Yuan, they could no longer muster even a shred of arrogance.

The two walked up close and bowed in perfect unison.

Their eyes revealed absolute respect and adoration from the bottom of their hearts.

"Brother Yuan, you summoned us." Yan spoke first, his tone carrying clear reverence.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the three people before him.

"I called you here because I've prepared some good things for you."

"Immortal herbs."

The moment his words fell, Lin Yuan flicked his wrist.

A strange plant, radiating a charming pink halo, appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.

The entire side hall was instantly filled with a refreshing, intoxicating fragrance.

Lin Yuan handed the plant to Hu Liena, who stood at the front.

"This is called the Illusion Heart Begonia."

"It can greatly strengthen the attributes of your Charm Martial Soul; just consume it directly once you have it."

Hu Liena took the shimmering immortal herb with both hands, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

Immediately after, Lin Yuan reached out his hand once more.

A blade of grass that radiated a silvery-white, clear radiance, as if condensed from moonlight, appeared in his hand.

"Xie Yue, this is the Moonlight Aura Grass."

"It is a perfect match for your Moon Blade Martial Soul."

Xie Yue took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly as he accepted the immortal herb, his eyes filled with unconcealable fanaticism.

Finally, Lin Yuan produced a spirit mushroom that looked as if it were carved from red agate, radiating waves of scorching heat.

He handed it to Yan.

"Fire Jade Lingzhi."

"The most suitable for your Flame Lord."

Yan knelt on one knee immediately, holding his hands high to receive the scalding-hot spirit herb.

He looked up, his voice trembling slightly from excitement.

"For Brother Yuan's reward, even if I were to be smashed to pieces, I could never repay it!"

The three of them did not hesitate after receiving the immortal herbs.

They sat cross-legged directly on the empty floor tiles of the side hall and swallowed the immortal herbs.

In just a short half-hour.

Three extremely vast waves of spirit power erupted one after another within the side hall.

The pink light on Hu Liena's body flickered wildly.

Her Heavenly Fox martial soul, which was already highly bewitching, condensed into an incredibly solid phantom above her head.

A new tail appeared on the fox, and the fluctuations of spiritual power it emitted caused ripples to spread through the air.

Xie Yue's Moon Blade martial soul manifested automatically.

The twin blades, originally silver-white, were baptized by the Moonlight Aura Grass, gaining a striking blood-red line along the edges and revealing a sharp, piercing edge.

A massive phantom of the Flame Lord rose behind Yan.

The flames, originally crimson, were now transforming into a more terrifying dark red, causing the temperature in the side hall to climb sharply.

When the three finished their cultivation one by one and opened their eyes, they were all stunned in shock.

They quickly checked the conditions within their bodies.

A single, simple immortal herb had caused their cultivation levels to rise unreasonably by seven or eight ranks!

Not only that, but the quality of their martial souls had also undergone a complete, transformative evolution!

The three of them stood up in unison.

When they looked at Lin Yuan again, their gazes could no longer be described as mere worship.

They were looking at Lin Yuan as if he were a god descended to earth, worshipping him with fervor!

Just as they were still immersed in their immense surprise.

A series of extremely hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor outside the side hall.

Qian Renxue, dressed in luxurious palace attire, rushed in through the main entrance with a face full of anxiety.

She had been in Heaven Dou City executing a deep-cover mission when she heard through special channels that Lin Yuan had encountered a life-or-death crisis while out hunting for a spirit ring.

Even the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had been in seclusion for many years, had personally stepped in to hunt him down.

This news had terrified her so much that she immediately dropped all the complex matters at hand.

Traveling day and night, she had rushed back to Martial Soul Hall, filled with worry.

Yet, the moment she crossed the threshold, she was met with this highly impactful scene.

The surging cultivation fluctuations on Hu Liena and the others, which had not yet been fully restrained, struck her senses like a heavy hammer.

Qian Renxue stopped abruptly in shock.

Her rosy lips parted slightly, and she looked at the people in the center of the hall with eyes full of astonishment.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Lin Yuan turned his head to look.

Seeing that peerlessly beautiful face, which held such deep concern, he did not hesitate in the slightest and trotted over to her.

Without any superfluous pleasantries or formalities.

Lin Yuan reached out and grabbed Qian Renxue's fair, soft hand.

Then, without a word of explanation, he led her toward a quiet corridor outside the side hall.

Qian Renxue did not resist at all, allowing this boy, who was quite a bit younger than her, to hold her hand.

When she felt the genuine warmth radiating from his palm.

Her heart, which had been hanging in her throat and threatening to jump out, finally settled completely back into her chest.

Seeing that he was perfectly safe and sound, without a single hair out of place.

Qian Renxue finally let out a long sigh of relief.
