Prospects for Treatment

There had originally been no hatred between Han Tao and Tang San.

But when interests were involved, right and wrong no longer mattered.

If he wanted to scheme for the Immortal Herbs, obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and hunt the Blue Silver King, there was no need for any grand-sounding excuse.

Pure, simple interest guided his actions.

After finishing his thoughts, Han Tao faced Ye Lingling again.

"The depth of treatment lies in the microscopic. It is a kind of repair for the Meridians and hidden injuries."

"But the development of treatment is not limited to this. Its effects should not be restricted to the Physique."

For no other reason than that Han Tao was very satisfied with Ye Lingling's theory of "Martial Soul Evolution."

"Treatment isn't limited to the Physique?"

Ye Lingling's short blue hair fluttered slightly, her eyes flickering with curiosity.

Han Tao smiled faintly and replied:

"This is only a hypothesis. You can try to verify it. Can a Soul Master's Soul Power and spirit be treated by the Nine Heart Begonia?"

Yes, that was exactly what Han Tao believed.

If a Healing Type Soul Master could only restore the Physique, then what kind of Healing Type Soul Master was that? Leaving aside high-rank techniques like genetic repair, Martial Soul completion, and reversing life and death, at the very least, the three basic attributes—Physique, Soul Power, and spirit—had to have methods of restoration.

"Restoring Soul Power and spirit." Ye Lingling covered her lips, unable to believe it.

Han Tao's words seemed to broaden her mind, and her field of vision suddenly opened up.

"That's possible too?"

"I'm not a Soul Master who specializes in healing, and these dimensions haven't been verified either, so this is only a suggestion for you. You can try using your own Martial Soul to explore in this direction."

Han Tao had merely mentioned a research direction in passing.

Han Tao had his own selfish motives. He hoped that Ye Lingling could explore a method to heal the spirit.

The gold-edged "Distraction Control Method—Cluster Convergence" in his hands had been gathering dust under his backside for a long time. If there was a Soul Skill that could restore the spirit, then the difficulty of developing this Secret Method would be greatly reduced.

Once Spirit Healing was developed, the difficulty of absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would be greatly lowered.

In that case, the status of Healing Type Soul Masters—especially those who had mastered Spirit Healing—would become even harder to shake.

Han Tao was about to leave, while Ye Lingling's expression looked somewhat conflicted.

Just as Han Tao was about to go, she suddenly gritted her teeth and called out, "Wait!"

Han Tao turned his head and looked at Ye Lingling in some confusion.

"I went too far last time. I apologize to you."

Ye Lingling stammered, her fingers constantly knotting together in front of her chest.

"You should have seen it—the Secret Method of the Nine Heart Begonia."

"When a Martial Soul Rank breaks through, it needs the energy provided by 'Fallen Red.'"

She did not tell Han Tao how Fallen Red was performed, but what she said confirmed Han Tao's guess.

Being able to give him this crucial clue already represented her sincerity.

The reason she had hesitated was perhaps because Ye Junlan did not allow her to say these things.

"Thank you for telling me."

After hearing her reminder, Han Tao did not stop. He left with a satisfied smile.

As soon as Han Tao returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was stopped by the Guard at the gate.

"Han Tao, come with me."

After the Guard led the way, Han Tao arrived inside the Little Black Room.

Bang! The door shut.

The charge was that Han Tao had damaged the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Yes, that incident from last year had damaged the Sect's reputation, and only now were they starting to hold him accountable.

It seemed absurd, but these were only the surface reasons.

The most fundamental reason was that Han Tao had made Ning Rongrong cry, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were very angry.

As everyone knows, Titled Douluo do not reason with people.

After Han Tao and Ning Tian returned, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo hurried over to comfort Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong kept crying, so the two Douluo grew angrier the more they thought about it, and the angrier they got, the more they thought about it, until they could not endure it anymore.

"Damn it, we have to lock him up for half a month!"

"How is half a month enough? At the very least, lock him up for two months and let them learn their lesson."

At this moment, Sect Leader Ning walked over.

He did not plead for his disciple, because Han Tao had sold "Deep Treatment."

He knew that nothing within the Sect could be hidden from his eyes.

"How about this, then? Sword Douluo, you lock him up for half a month. Bone Douluo, you lock him up for two months. Two and a half months in total. How does that sound?"

"Fine!" "No!"

The two Douluo shouted at the same time.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo in confusion.

"Correction. Bone Douluo locks him up for half a month, and I lock him up for two months. Get the priorities straight."

"Old Bone, last time Ning Rongrong's expressions were all made at me. You'll have to step back a little."

"You got the advantage last time. Can't you let me have it this time?"

Ning Fengzhi ignored the two bizarre Douluo's squabbling and instead issued the Sect Master's order, having Han Tao and Ning Tian seized and imprisoned.

"You're here!"

A voice came from the pitch-black room.

The light was far too dim, and Han Tao truly could not make out his face.

"You're... Ning Tian?"

Han Tao could guess his identity.

"I don't even know what I did wrong, and I got locked up here."

"If Xiao Hong finds out, she'll definitely be heartbroken. And Xiao Lan, A Yun, Ying Er..."

He did not answer Han Tao, but in truth, he already had.

"Ning Tian, I once read your great work."

"I heard you have quite a bit of expertise in matters of romance?"

Ning Tian replied, "Of course."

"In Heaven Dou City, there are seven clubs in total, and I, Young Master Ning, am a member of all of them."

Han Tao nodded, acknowledging that Ning Tian had some ability in this field.

"When we get out this time, can you help me get some Whale Rubber?"

Ning Tian was somewhat surprised.

"Whale Rubber? A relatively niche type among aphrodisiacs. In terms of effect, it's far inferior to..."

When it came to his area of expertise, Ning Tian began speaking at length.

But Han Tao's meaning was very clear. He wanted Whale Rubber, and nothing else.

Whale Rubber was a special substance found in a whale's brain. It could strengthen a Soul Master's meridians, muscles, and bones, making it the ideal choice for absorbing a Soul Ring above one's level.

A dark environment was the easiest place to make a person think.

Han Tao had just obtained the method for Martial Soul Evolution, and within it was one extremely important item.

"Understanding the Martial Soul Essence" was the first step of Martial Soul Evolution, and also the most important and most core step.

If one could not understand the Martial Soul Essence, one could not even find the direction of evolution.

If one could not understand the Martial Soul Essence, how could one properly control the power one possessed?

Then, what was the essence of Blue Silver Grass? At first, Han Tao had thought it was healing, because the Soul Skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was just that, and his first Soul Ring had likewise been chosen in that direction.

But this was not the answer. This was only part of the Blue Silver King's puzzle.

In terms of Vitality, Blue Silver Grass was inferior to Fluorescent Grass.

In terms of healing, Blue Silver Grass was inferior to Nine Heart Begonia.

In terms of growth, Blue Silver Grass was inferior to Solitary Bamboo.

What was the true core of Blue Silver Grass? What kind of ability required healing and enhancement as support?

Powerful perception was an innate talent of Blue Silver Grass.

What kind of core ability would require perception? Perception, healing, and enhancement were all supports for Blue Silver Grass.

After countless thoughts, Han Tao seemed—seemed to be drawing close to the truth.

In the long, endless night, the answer was like a ray of light shining into Han Tao's heart.
