Healing Dugu Yan, Qian Renxue and Prince Xue Xing Pay a Visit!

"Girl, the Body Sect will be your home from now on. With us old folks around, no one will dare bully you."

Golden Body Douluo rubbed Ye Lingling's head.

As an elder of Ye Chen, she extended her affection for him to Ye Lingling, treating the girl as one of her own younger generation.

Although their bloodlines had been separated by ten thousand years, some marks could never be erased.

"That's right. Our Body Sect is the most protective of its own."

"Sister Lingling, come back to the Body Sect with us!"

Ye Chen reached out and wiped away Ye Lingling's tears.

Though she was already twelve, she was not much taller than Ye Chen.

He wanted to recruit Ye Lingling into the Body Sect not merely because of their bloodline.

Ye Lingling herself was a member of the Undying Family and would be of great help to the Body Sect. They could not possibly rely on Ye Chen for support in the future!

After all, Ye Chen's Nine-Hearted Begonia had a time attribute; it was not purely a healing martial soul.

"Girl Lingling, once you join the Body Sect, you'll be able to swagger through Heaven Dou City."

"The Body Sect's sect master is a Rank 98 Super Douluo with three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and the sect is filled with powerful experts."

Dugu Bo sighed.

It was a pity the Body Sect did not accept other soul masters. Otherwise, he would have wanted to attach his name to the sect as well.

Only people like Ye Lingling, who had familial ties to disciples of the Body Sect, could be considered true members of the Body Sect.

"Three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings?"

"A Rank 98 Super Douluo?"

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were both stunned.

Had Dugu Bo not said it himself, they would have taken him for a swindler.

"Enough. Once you reach the Body Sect, you'll understand just how powerful it is."

Golden Body Douluo did not continue.

At present, the only strength the Body Sect had revealed was Du Busi, himself, and Ye Chen.

The other dozen or so Titled Douluo were all the sect's hidden foundation. There was no need to speak of them everywhere.

After all, the Body Sect was unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed Titled Douluo to deter outside enemies, while the Body Sect simply did not care.

"Come, I'll clear the poison from your body first."

Ye Chen had made this trip specifically to fulfill his earlier promise.

Meeting Ye Lingling here had been an unexpected delight. They had originally planned to find her at Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy.

"Hey, can you really clear Yan Yan's poison? I tried using Nine-Hearted Begonia, but it had no effect at all."

Ye Lingling had already tried.

Nine-Hearted Begonia was a healing martial soul capable of treating most injuries, but it could not treat poison inherent to a martial soul.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's problem was that every Martial Soul Possession left toxins behind in the body.

"My Nine-Hearted Begonia is a mutated martial soul. It isn't the same as yours."

"Also, my name is Ye Chen. Don't call me 'hey.'"

The Nine-Hearted Begonia in Ye Chen's hand slowly drifted toward Dugu Yan.

Then, petals shrouded in hazy mist floated out and surrounded Dugu Yan.

As the time attribute took effect, Dugu Yan's deep-purple hair visibly transformed back to black.

Even her green-glowing eyes returned to normal.

"Didn't you just awaken your martial soul? How could you heal Yan Yan so easily?"

"Wait, how are you already at Rank 24 Soul Power?"

The more Dugu Bo watched, the more alarmed he became.

He had not examined Ye Chen closely before, but upon carefully sensing the fluctuations of his Soul Power now, he found that it had actually reached Rank 24.

Ye Chen was only four ranks below Dugu Yan, yet Dugu Yan was a full seven years older than him.

"What's so surprising? It's only Rank 24 Soul Power."

"Poison Douluo, find her a Soul Bone in the future. Force the toxins into the Soul Bone afterward, and you'll be able to prevent further poisoning."

"However, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. When the toxins in the Soul Bone are nearly full, remember to come to me to cleanse them. Otherwise, once they erupt completely, even an Ultimate Douluo of the healing type may not be able to save her."

Ye Chen explained the situation clearly.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, only the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot that he had consumed had a certain chance of resolving the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's problem.

Even then, it required using poison against poison. Failure meant death.

Compared to that, having Ye Chen cleanse the toxins from a Soul Bone was the safest and simplest method.

"Fine. This old man will keep an eye out."

Dugu Bo himself only had one Soul Bone.

If he joined a sect or the empire, he could exchange for Soul Bones, but he would lose his freedom as a result.

It seemed that he would have to keep watch for Soul Bones in the future and find a way to buy them.

"Poison Douluo, your condition is far more severe than Dugu Yan's. I'll try detoxifying you once I reach Soul King."

"But don't worry. Once I become a Soul Saint, I'll definitely be able to cure you."

Ye Chen believed that day was not far away.

Not to mention that the Body Sect's resources would be directed toward him, the boost from his time attribute alone could increase his cultivation speed.

His Nine-Hearted Begonia was equivalent to a cultivation aid, allowing him to raise his Soul Power rapidly.

"Though you may have no need for this old man, this old man's promise will always stand."

Dugu Bo had always valued his word.

With the Body Sect behind Ye Chen, he likely would not think much of Dugu Bo's modest strength, but Dugu Bo's promises were worth their weight in gold.

"Fine. I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Ye Chen's gaze gradually shifted toward the outside of the manor.

Before he had even taken the initiative to contact them, certain people had already come knocking.

"Sir Dugu, I heard distinguished guests had arrived here. Xue Xing came uninvited; please forgive the intrusion."

The first person to enter Dugu Manor was Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Back then, he had saved Dugu Bo's life and had fortunately gained the support of a Titled Douluo, making him a prominent figure in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Your Excellency Dugu, Qinghe has also come uninvited. I wish to meet your guests."

Xue Qinghe appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

She had a straight nose and square mouth, and her clean blue-cloth robe gave her a refreshing air.

Her long black hair was tied with a blue cloth ribbon and fell neatly behind her back.

Though her clothing was quite ordinary, she possessed a special temperament that made her seem exceptionally extraordinary.

Whoosh!

A flash of silver passed through Ye Chen's eyes.

In an instant, the disguise cloaking Xue Qinghe vanished from his sight.

If he only possessed a spiritual-type martial soul, he might not have been able to see through Xue Qinghe's disguise. However, he possessed the space attribute and could pierce through to the source.

Qian Renxue's entire body stiffened, as though she had been seen through.

She abruptly met Ye Chen's eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

They were exceptionally beautiful, like the sun and moon, dazzlingly radiant.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Xue Xing, these two are the Young Sect Master and a venerable one from the Body Sect."

"This old man advises you both to put away any thoughts you should not have. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you."

Dugu Bo had known Prince Xue Xing for a long time.

Prince Xue Xing often acted using Dugu Bo's name, yet he had used up his three promises very slowly.

For Dugu Yan's sake, since she attended Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo had not made an issue of it.

"The Body Sect?"

"The Young Sect Master and a venerable one?"

Prince Xue Xing was inwardly shocked.

Though he had never heard of the Body Sect, "Your Excellency" was an honorific used for Titled Douluo.

Moreover, Dugu Bo had said it himself, so their strength should have surpassed Poison Douluo's.

"Qinghe greets the Young Sect Master and this venerable one."

Qian Renxue cupped her hands and bowed.

As a junior, it was only natural for her to salute a Titled Douluo.

However, Prince Xue Xing was already quite old and had close ties with Poison Douluo. He normally addressed Dugu Bo as an equal, so he would most likely be unable to lower himself and do the same.
