Selfless Dedication

Standing up refreshed, Ling Yi looked around at the "Blue Silver Grass" plants that had already surpassed the thousand-year limit.

Original "Blue Silver Grass", "Iron Birch Blue Silver Grass", "Female Ivy Blue Silver Grass", "Agarwood Blue Silver Grass"...

Since unexpectedly winning the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" at the auction, Ling Yi no longer has to worry about what to do with the "Blue Silver Grass" he has painstakingly cultivated.

Sensing that each thousand-year-old "Blue Silver Grass" was silently absorbing the Soul Power that Ling Yi had just injected, as well as the vitality power absorbed from the "Blue Silver Grass" scattered all over the outside world, Ling Yi put these thousand-year-old Soul Beast, which would definitely cause a sensation if released, back into his "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse".

Having just finished collecting the last plant, Ling Yi leisurely turned his gaze toward the entrance of the camp.

Although the curtain was tightly closed, the "Blue Silver Grass" covering the ground allowed Ling Yi to "see" that someone was walking towards him. Judging from the direction they were going, they were probably looking for him.

Sure enough, the next second, we heard:

"Brother Yi — Brother Yi —are you there? Brother Yi—?"

Before the sounds outside could continue, Ling Yi smiled faintly, lifted the tent flap, and replied, "I'm here—"

"What's wrong? A Yan, why are you in such a hurry?" Ling Yi walked towards the person and continued to ask, "Even if someone is injured, I remember those others should all be here right now, they wouldn't need to come here to find me—?"

As they spoke, their eyes, filled with a serene and peaceful light, gazed at each other quietly.

This was a burly man who was over two meters tall, with muscles bulging all over his body, each muscle as hard as Boulder.

The burly man's name was Xiao Yan, Martial Soul "Boulder". He looked to be in his early thirties, but he was actually only twenty-one years old and was a level twenty-nine Defense System Grand Soul Master.

Under Ling Yi's gaze, the burly and robust Xiao Yan scratched his head shyly, like a child, and said embarrassedly, "No... it's not that someone is injured—"

"Oh?" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing slightly. He tilted his head as if pondering something and asked, "Is it... that matter I asked you to keep an eye on for me last time? Is there any progress?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Yan nodded vigorously, grinning and saying in a simple and honest way, "A few days ago, Tang Chuan and I were escorting a batch of supplies to the camp at ' Golden Eagle Gorge,' where we met a captain whose Martial Soul was ' Single-Horned Flood Dragon Serpent '..."

"Good--!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi exclaimed "Good!" with obvious joy on his face. This greatly encouraged and inspired Xiao Yan opposite him, who grinned and laughed, his uvula trembling.

Ling Yi patted Xiao Yan's strong arm, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go! We'll go find Ai'er Timosi and ask him for permission to go to ' Golden Eagle Gorge ' for a while—"

"Alright—!"

Xiao Yan nodded hurriedly, following closely behind Ling Yi like a bodyguard to a rich young master.

Since Ling Yi pulled him back from the brink of death three months ago, Xiao Yan had secretly vowed to follow Ling Yi for the rest of his life.

As Defense System Soul Master, he has always been at the forefront of the battlefield.

Despite his powerful defense, making him an absolute standout among Soul Master of the same level, the battlefield is not a one-on-one Soul Fighting among Soul Masters of the same level, and injuries are commonplace.

But what happened three months ago was definitely the biggest crisis Xiao Yan had ever faced in his life!

A Soul King unleashed Fourth Soul Skill of a thousand-year age, an attack as sharp as an arrow, piercing Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's heart in a single exchange, along with the bodies of the three comrades lined up behind him.

Perhaps it was the powerful Life of a Soul Master, or perhaps it was Xiao Yan's strong will and desire to survive. A full hour later, the battle ended, and the people cleaning up the battlefield found Xiao Yan, whose body had begun to cool and whose breathing had stopped, but whose aura had not yet disappeared.

Even though that breath was already as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

But it was Ling Yi who discovered him, and Ling Yi's perception was far superior to that of his peers. In an environment full of "Blue Silver Grass", Ling Yi was able to sense the presence of snakes and rats hiding in underground burrows.

More than half a year ago, over 80% of the land along the border between the two empires was sown with the seeds of "Blue Silver Grass".

At that time, Ling Yi was still a level 29 Grand Soul Master. With his Second Soul Skill, Severed Finger Regrowth, he restored Xiao Yan's pierced heart to its original state, pulling him back from the brink of death. Then, with First Soul Skill after another, Abundant Vitality, he reactivated Xiao Yan's body, which had lost most of its vitality and was almost indistinguishable from a corpse.

During the six months that Xiao Yan stayed on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, there were quite a few people like him who were pulled back from the brink of death by Ling Yi.

Although not everyone is like Xiao Yan, they all remember the kindness of Ling Yi, their savior. In addition, Ling Yi also treated other injured or poisoned people, which is also a great kindness.

In just over five months, Ling Yi had already established himself in the lower ranks of the border army of the Heaven Dou Empire, and his network of connections covered the entire border.

It was worth it; starting from the second month, Ling Yi applied to join the team clearing the battlefield and participate in the first search and rescue operation.

Another point is their attitude when interacting with ordinary people and low-level Soul Master. Although people like Ai'er Timosi and Lian Lai'en do not show any arrogance, their pride as Soul Master and strong individuals is a personality trait cultivated over many years and a concept recognized by the Douluo Continent for thousands of years.

Unlike Ai'er Timosi and others, Ling Yi possesses an innate affability when interacting with people, and his words and attitude are like a gentle breeze, making him incredibly adept at making friends!

Ai'er Timosi's application was easily granted.

Although Ling Yi was retained by the higher-ups of the border army, it wasn't out of any sense of treasuring or valuing him. It was simply because they saw an interesting talent and felt he had some value, so they recruited him to serve under their command.

In the eyes of the high-ranking official who spoke, he was giving Ling Yi a chance, an opportunity to serve him and the border army. This was an honor for Ling Yi!

Similarly, in Ai'er Timosi's eyes, Ling Yi was indeed a talented person, the kind of clever person who had ingenious ideas and was able to turn them into practical operations.

However, limited by his strength being only at level twenty-something, no matter how superb Ling Yi's surgical skills were, he could not obtain the same status as Soul Master Healing System the Soul Ancestor level.

After all, the most important aspect of surgical procedures is the understanding and mindset involved. Once Ling Yi Ling Yi laid bare his knowledge before them, the surgical techniques were no longer exclusive to him alone.

To their surprise, before they could even secretly study the intricacies of surgery, Ling Yi proactively taught them some of the tricks of the trade.

Among these people, there were those like Ai'er Timosi Lian Lai'en who appreciated Ling Yi even more and whose favorability towards him increased, while others secretly mocked Ling Yi being foolish and naive.

Regardless of the circumstances, the entire border army of the Heaven Dou Empire suffered a genuine decrease in casualties due to Ling Yi's selfless dedication.
