"Cough... cough... Aunt Yunxi, let's talk about Little Yue'er, Little Bing'er, and me another time."

"Actually, I don't just want to help the old man and Sister Yanzi solve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison problem. If the old man has suitable herbs in his medicinal garden in Sunset Forest, I also plan to make Aunt Yunxi a pill that can raise your Soul Douluo strength."

"Hiss, Little Yun Duo, is this pill that can raise my Soul Douluo strength also part of the knowledge from the Divine Spirit Inheritance you received?"

"Mm. The knowledge I received from the Divine Spirit Inheritance doesn't just contain pills that can raise Aunt Yunxi's Soul Douluo strength. If we're lucky, even your Condensed Water Flying Luan Martial Soul can evolve in a better and stronger direction."

"Likewise, everything I mentioned is naturally suitable for everyone. That includes the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison afflicting the old man and Sister Yanzi."

"Moreover, there are also pills that can improve a Soul Master's physical constitution, allowing them to absorb Soul Rings with higher age limits."

Seeing Shui Yunxi's resolute expression, Yun Duo felt rather awkward.

The reason he had revealed the secret that the Dugu Family's inherited Martial Soul would cause poisoning in front of Shui Yunxi was originally to resolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison and, for his sake, ease the relationship between the two families.

After all, when Dugu Bo learned that Yun Duo's parents and Shui Yunxi had arranged another marriage contract, he had found everything about the Tianshui Shui Family—and Shui Yunxi in particular—unpleasant to look at.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The knowledge from the Divine Spirit Inheritance you received really is an enormous treasure. You even possess the knowledge of pills that can improve a Soul Master's physique and let them absorb Soul Rings beyond their level. Your luck is truly unbelievable."

"Just luck! Honestly, if Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling hadn't already absorbed their second Soul Rings, I would have wanted them to take the pills to improve their physiques and then absorb Thousand Year Soul Rings as their second rings."

"Not only that, I plan to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's merchant guilds spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire to sell all kinds of pills. Naturally, the pills that improve a Soul Master's physique will be among them."

"Although having a purple Thousand Year Soul Ring as one's second ring is indeed excellent, it's a pity that Yanzi and Lingling have already obtained their second Soul Rings. If you truly mean well, then once those two girls can absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, do your best to improve their physiques so they can absorb Soul Rings with even higher age limits."

"That's right, Little Yun Duo. Although Auntie knows you intend to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's merchant guilds to earn a vast fortune, shouldn't pills that can raise a Soul Master's strength be kept for our own family to use? Why do you still intend to sell them?"

"Hehe, Aunt Yunxi, there's no need to worry. The pills sold outside naturally won't be of the same grade as the ones our own family uses. Just as you and the old man said, good things like these should naturally be saved for our own people."

Yun Duo shared Shui Yunxi and Dugu Bo's concerns. Of course, he would not be kind enough to raise the strength of Soul Masters from other factions.

After all, he had no desire to strengthen his future enemies and make things harder for himself later.

Likewise, to keep the colors of the Soul Rings Yun Duo, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Yue'er, and Shui Bing acquired in the future from being too eye-catching, he planned to sell lower-grade pills.

According to the inheritance memories in his mind, even after using them, people from other factions would at most be able to increase their Soul Ring age limits by a few hundred years.

"Fine. Since you have a plan, do as you see fit. If any trouble arises, come directly to this old man. Your family's fief borders Heaven Dou City anyway."

After learning of Yun Duo's plans, Dugu Bo gave his assurance. In his view, even if they were only lower-grade pills, things that could raise a Soul Master's strength might still attract trouble.

At the very least, with Dugu Bo lending his name to the matter, it would be enough to curb the greed of families and factions below the Soul Douluo level, reducing unnecessary trouble for Yun Duo and the Tianshui Shui Family.

As for the Three Upper Sects and Spirit Hall, considering their status and wealth in the Soul Master world, it was not as though they could not afford them. In the end, the pills would only raise Soul Ring age limits by a few hundred years. Neither side would tear all pretenses apart with the Heaven Dou Empire and Dugu Bo over such things.

Furthermore, the Yun Duo Family still had a foundation of one hundred thousand troops. Together with the Tianshui Shui Family and the others, they formed a force that could not be underestimated. If a conflict truly broke out, even powers as strong as the Three Upper Sects and Spirit Hall would have to consider their own losses and the consequences that would follow.

"Tsk, old man, since you keep traveling back and forth between Heaven Dou City and my Skywater City, why not simply move here and live with us?"

"Besides, by my estimate, after Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling use pills that improve their physiques, they should be able to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings for their fourth rings."

Honestly, once Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, staying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy will only become troublesome for them. They might as well transfer to Skywater Academy with me. In any case, I plan to straighten out Godwind City and Blazing Fire City in the future.

When he heard Dugu Bo intended to make him travel between the two places, Yun Duo immediately offered his suggestion.

After all, before he had fully grown, having a Titled Douluo stationed within his family's fief would provide a great sense of security.

The Godwind City and Blazing Fire City he mentioned were naturally the other two cities within his family's fief.

Of course, just from the names Godwind City and Blazing Fire City, one could tell that they were the locations of Godwind Advanced Soul Master Academy, where Feng Xiaotian studied, and Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy, where Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang studied.

Naturally, Godwind City and Blazing Fire City had not originally borne those names.

As for why they were now called Godwind City and Blazing Fire City, one only needed to look at the Skywater Academy where Yun Duo currently lived.

Although Godwind City and Blazing Fire City were jointly managed by members of the Yun Family and the Tianshui Shui Family, unfortunately, their current strength was insufficient to keep the situation under control.
