Yin-Yang Twinborn Grass

"As for Qian Daoliu, why did he want you to find me...?"

"That old fellow merely wanted me to guide and protect you."

"After all, I don't have many years left to live."

"Of course, that was my intention as well."

Lin Haosheng's golden eyes fixed seriously on Lin Mo.

"Qian Daoliu told me everything about you, Mo'er. You truly are a genius."

"Back then, neither I nor Qian Daoliu, not even that boy named Tang Chen, could compare to you."

"In the end, Qian Daoliu does not understand the severe consequences brought about by conflicting attributes. That Angel Cultivation Method can only solve the problem temporarily."

"Once your soul power rises further, you will understand that martial souls and their wielders are fundamentally one. The intensity of their fusion will only continue to increase."

"Hehe, if you continue blindly like this, there will only be one outcome in the future."

"Your second martial soul will be crippled outright."

"You may even suffer a martial soul backlash and lose your life."

Lin Mo's expression abruptly darkened. Lingering fear and dread flooded his heart. In truth, over the past few days, whenever he possessed his martial soul, Lin Mo had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But he had not given it much thought.

Yet Lin Haosheng's reminder made him instantly realize where the problem lay.

"What attribute conflict? Lin Mo, why didn't you tell me?"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and looked at Lin Mo in confusion.

Lin Mo gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head. A fleeting trace of awkwardness crossed his face, and he seemed to want to avoid the subject.

But Qian Renxue was no naive sweetheart. She instantly realized that Lin Mo was hiding something from her.

Pufferfish mode activated.

Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks, her bell-like eyes staring unblinkingly at Lin Mo. Without a doubt, Qian Renxue was angry.

But now was not the time for Lin Mo to comfort her. His life was at stake, so he was naturally more anxious to find a solution.

He abruptly pulled Qian Renxue into his arms, held her head in the crook of his arm, then repeatedly stroked her back as though soothing ruffled fur.

This move was extremely effective. Qian Renxue soon stopped fussing and shyly hid in Lin Mo's arms without saying a word.

The sight delighted Lin Haosheng. He burst into laughter and teased them.

"In this regard, you really are nothing like your father."

Lin Mo did not respond. Instead, he stared steadily at Lin Haosheng and spoke with a grave expression.

"Second Grandpa, I don't want to cripple my second martial soul. Do you have a solution?"

Lin Haosheng also put away his smile. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"During my travels across the continent in my younger days, I was fortunate enough to hear some legends. Opposing twin martial souls are like yin and yang."

"When yin flourishes, yang weakens. When yang flourishes, yin weakens. The cycle repeats endlessly. That is all."

This slight hint made Lin Mo think of something—the Taiji Diagram!

"Yang exists within yin, and yin exists within yang. When yin and yang are harmonized, life continues without end!"

Lin Mo suddenly understood. He had also thought of a solution for his twin martial souls: as long as he established a cycle of opposing attributes within his body, yin and yang could be brought into harmony.

The first thing Lin Mo thought of was the soul core method. Complementary yin-yang dual soul cores were practically tailor-made for him.

But Lin Mo immediately dismissed the idea. Setting aside how he would condense a soul core, merely forming one would directly break the balance within his body.

His second martial soul would probably be crippled even faster.

Then what should I do?

"It is precisely about balancing yin and yang. Your Light Phoenix martial soul possesses the attributes of holiness, light, and fire. Your Heart of Darkness martial soul possesses the attributes of evil, darkness, and ice."

"Their attributes are perfectly opposed. You can completely construct soul power vortices for the two martial souls within your body and have them revolve in a normal internal cycle."

Lin Mo's gaze sharpened. The term soul power vortex—had it already appeared in this era?

"What is a soul power vortex?"

"To be honest, I don't know. I heard the term from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

At the mention of this, a trace of reminiscence flashed through Lin Haosheng's eyes. Clearly, it had happened long ago.

"However, that may require you to condense two soul power vortices at the same time. With your current abilities, you simply cannot do it."

"Moreover, we have not mastered this method. Perhaps once you are strong enough, you can venture deep into the Far North or the Star Dou Great Forest and ask them about it."

Lin Mo's brow furrowed deeply. After all, this meant his problem could not be resolved anytime soon.

"Lin Mo, don't be afraid. Once I become the Angel God, I'll definitely be able to solve this."

Qian Renxue raised her head from within Lin Mo's arms and comforted him in a soft, sticky voice.

Lin Mo smiled and rubbed Qian Renxue's head. He did not say anything, remaining lost in thought.

"Since the Soul Core method can only possibly be obtained after I become a Title Douluo..."

"The best way to solve my problem now is to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Getting some immortal herbs should more or less do the trick."

"Fiery Apricot Delicate and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—ice and fire temper the golden body, perfectly one yin and one yang."

"Mm, I'll also need to ask Chrysanthemum Douluo for some diagrams of these rare immortal herbs, along with their effects and such."

"Let's see what else might suit me."

As Lin Mo pondered this, he suddenly heard Lin Haosheng speak.

"I have an immortal herb here that I obtained years ago. It can solve your current problem."

These words immediately drew the attention of both Lin Mo and Qian Renxue. Although Qian Renxue did not know what an immortal herb was, she could tell from the name alone that it had to be something valuable.

Under their gazes, Lin Haosheng snapped his fingers, and a twin-flowered plant sharing the same root appeared before them. Its stems intertwined and grew side by side, one black as ink and the other white as jade. The veins formed Taiji patterns, while the flower buds resembled the eyes of yin-yang fish.

The yang flower was lustrous, carrying a golden sheen, its leaf edges slightly curled.

The yin flower had a muted luster with a faint dark-purple glow, its leaf tips serrated.

When mature, the dewdrops at the tips of the two plants touched. The black droplet condensed cold, while the white one radiated warmth.

The moment Lin Mo saw the grass, an indescribable feeling surged through his heart. Every cell in his body seemed to convey the same two words.

"Desire!"

Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Lin Haosheng chuckled softly.

"This plant is called Yin-Yang Twinborn Grass. I obtained it years ago from the Great Ominous Land in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"It should be able to resolve your current crisis."

"After consuming it, the two attributes within your body will no longer oppose one another. Instead, they will be able to transform into each other and coexist harmoniously."

Lin Mo's gaze upon the plant grew increasingly heated. His throat became dry, and he could not help swallowing.

Damn, with something like this, why would I even need the Soul Core method? If they can transform into each other, there's no need for it at all.

As he thought this, delight naturally appeared on Lin Mo's face.

"However, this plant also has a fatal flaw. Its effects can establish balance for you while your strength is still weak in the early stages. But once your strength exceeds the range it can control, that balance will naturally be broken."

"And when that time comes, you will need a new way to deal with it."
