Life Blessing!

Tang Tianlin noticed something off in his gaze and turned to glare at him. "Little San, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Tang San hurriedly waved his hands. "I was just thinking how wise and mighty you are, Big Brother. You've already recruited a top-tier Support System Soul Master for the sect."

The corner of Tang Tianlin's mouth twitched slightly, but he could not be bothered to expose him.

This kid looked perfectly serious on the outside, but cut him open, and he would be black inside.

Just then, the system's light screen suddenly lit up.

[Detected that the host has recruited a powerful healing support for the sect. Reward: Life Blessing!]

Tang Tianlin raised his brows slightly.

Life Blessing was also known as God King’s Blessing.

It was an ability the Life God King bestowed by expending one-tenth of her divine power.

Although its abilities were somewhat similar to those of Child of Nature, Life Blessing could merge into the divine soul, Martial Soul, and bloodline, gradually growing stronger as one's strength increased.

It was true divine power!

After merging with him, it would not only grant him extremely powerful recovery abilities and improve his endurance in battle, but also work with Child of Nature to reduce the strain that using the Golden Dragon King's power placed on his body.

More importantly, with Life Blessing and Child of Nature working together, he could break the Golden Dragon King's next seal without any strain!

Another two birds with one stone!

"Big Brother, what should we do next?" Tang San suddenly asked seriously.

Tang Tianlin looked up at the sky.

Dusk had deepened, and a few low growls from unknown Soul Beasts drifted faintly through the forest.

"Follow me. Let's get out of here first."

Relying on Child of Nature's ability, Tang Tianlin led the group through turn after turn, finally leaving Sunset Forest before the sky went completely dark.

Since night had fallen, Tang Tianlin found the inn they had stayed at on the way there, strode inside, and held up three fingers to the owner behind the counter.

"Three rooms."

Seeing that it was the Lord Soul Master who had spent lavishly earlier that day, the owner hurriedly put on a broad smile.

"Certainly, three rooms! This way, my lord."

After a simple dinner, the four returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Ye Cixin and Ye Lingling stayed next door to Tang Tianlin, while Tang San stayed alone in a room in the corner.

After all, that fellow liked tinkering with Hidden Weapons at night. Staying farther away would keep him from disturbing everyone else's rest.

Tang Tianlin entered his room, closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and opened the system panel.

[Claim reward?]

"Yes."

With a slight stir of Tang Tianlin's thoughts, an exceptionally pure life force began flowing through his body, gently enveloping his divine soul and meridians.

Like a layer of invisible armor, it protected him against all potential harm.

At the same time, a soft golden light lit up between his brows.

It was the Seed of Life, a mark that appeared only after receiving Life Blessing.

True divine power.

After a long while, Tang Tianlin opened his eyes and looked down at his palm.

An extremely faint golden light showed through the surface of the panel, vanishing in an instant.

He could feel that his body's resistance to the Golden Dragon King's power had weakened somewhat, and even that savage dragon power seemed much more docile.

"As expected of the Life God King's power."

Tang Tianlin rolled his shoulders in satisfaction, a smile curling his lips.

With this power protecting his divine soul and flesh, he had at least a ninety-percent chance of breaking the Golden Dragon King's next seal!

Meanwhile, in the room next door.

Ye Cixin sat cross-legged on the bed, just about to meditate and cultivate.

Suddenly, her eyes flew open.

"What a pure Life Aura..."

As the wielder of Nine-Star Begonia, the continent's foremost healing Martial Soul.

She had thought her own power of life had already reached the continent's limit.

Yet the Life Aura just now had stood unmistakably above Nine-Star Begonia.

A trace of longing rose in Ye Cixin's heart.

If she could receive nourishment from that life force, perhaps she could break Nine-Star Begonia's thousand-year curse...

Wait, wasn't Young Lord Tianlin staying next door?

Early the next morning, Tang Tianlin finished a night of meditation, straightened up, and walked to the window to stretch, his muscles and bones giving off a series of crisp cracks.

"Tsk, I'm a little hungry. Time to replenish."

At this stage, he had to keep his blood energy stable to prepare for breaking through the subsequent seals.

Yet when he opened the door, he saw a graceful figure standing outside.

It was Ye Cixin.

Today, she had changed into a simple, elegant blue-green dress, her hair pinned up, with a few loose strands hanging beside her ears, lending her gentle face an added softness.

Tang Tianlin's gaze lingered on her features for a moment, puzzlement showing on his face. "Sister Cixin, did you... not sleep well last night?"

At his question, Ye Cixin looked a little awkward. "It-it was all right."

In truth, she had not slept all night, constantly pondering the source of that Life Aura.

She had thought it had come from the Young Lord, but seeing him today, she could not sense the slightest Life Aura.

Could my senses have been mistaken last night?

Just then, Tang Tianlin took out a token that was dark gold all over and handed it to her. "After breakfast, Sister Cixin, you can take this token to Heaven Dou City, find the Moonlight Pavilion, and show it to the pavilion's mistress."

"Once you tell them what you need, they'll arrange for someone to help you resolve it."

Ye Cixin paused slightly at his words. "Young Lord, aren't you planning to take us back to the Clear Sky Sect?"

She was quite curious about this former foremost sect on the continent.

Tang Tianlin shook his head. "I came down from the mountain to gain experience for a while. I don't intend to return to the sect just yet."

He still had many things to do, and taking the two of them along would be rather inconvenient.

Besides, he was now at a critical stage of condensing his blood energy, and the blood energy throughout his body was boiling at every moment.

With such a beautiful woman beside him, it would be trouble if he lost control one day.

"In that case, Lingling and I will wait for you in Heaven Dou City, Young Lord." Ye Cixin chuckled softly and reached out to accept the token.

If the Ye family had not also had some matters to handle in Heaven Dou City, she would have wanted to remain by Tang Tianlin's side.

Breakfast ended in a hurry.

Outside the inn, the carriage was already prepared.

Holding Ye Lingling's hand, Ye Cixin turned toward Tang Tianlin and bowed. "Young Lord, words cannot express our gratitude for your great kindness. My daughter and I will await your return in Heaven Dou City."

Tang Tianlin smiled. "No need to stand on ceremony, Sister Cixin. Once you reach the Moonlight Pavilion, they'll arrange everything. If you need anything, just give them my name."

Just then, Ye Lingling, who had been hiding behind Ye Cixin all this time, suddenly peeked out and said softly:

"Brother Tianlin, I'll wait for you in Heaven Dou City."

Tang Tianlin paused, then stepped forward and reached out to ruffle Ye Lingling's hair.

"Don't worry. I'll come find you."

After seeing Ye Cixin and her daughter off, Tang Tianlin and Tang San also boarded a carriage back to Nuoding Academy.

This Soul Hunting trip had certainly yielded a rich harvest.

Not only had he helped Tang San obtain a suitable Soul Ring, but he had also unexpectedly won over the Ye mother and daughter. The trip had certainly not been in vain.

On the way back, Tang San sat inside the carriage in high spirits, occasionally lowering his head to look at the Blue Silver Grass coiled around his wrist.

Its blades were emerald green, faintly glowing with a pale golden sheen, and were more than a full size thicker than when they had arrived.
