Half a month later, at the Dugu Manor.
Lin Mo sat in the pavilion in the backyard, glancing at the gate from time to time. Soon, footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
Lin Mo looked up and saw Ye Linyuan's figure come into view.
Ye Linyuan walked briskly, a clear smile on his face.
He walked into the pavilion and nodded amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.
It's done.
Ye Linyuan's voice wasn't loud, but it invigorated everyone present.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
Ye Linyuan waved his hand and sat down on the stone bench.
Ye Lingling handed him a cup of tea, which he took and drank a sip before slowly speaking.
"However, before we officially begin, I still need to tell you some basic information."
He put down his teacup and his gaze fell on Lin Mo:
"The purpose I've figured out for this piece of Gold of Life is enhancement. Simply put, it's about using it as a consumable, rare and precious material."
"Through specific methods, the Life contained within is guided out and infused into the Soul Master Martial Soul or body, thereby strengthening the body and improving the quality of the Martial Soul."
"Instead of Swallow whole like that Golden Hawksbill Turtle, that beast didn't know how to use it and was just wasting it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded slightly, but seemed to be deep in thought.
If that's the case, it's quite different from the way Electrolux used the Gold of Life ten thousand years later in his memory.
Electrolux's method of using the Gold of Life: While using the Life of the Gold of Life to cleanse Huo Yuhao's body, he also used the power of the Gold of Life to help Huo Yuhao open his third eye; the Eye of Life.
Furthermore, the Gold of Life did not disappear after helping Huo Yuhao open the Eye of Life; it could still be transformed into a carving knife for Huo Yuhao's use.
However, judging from the teacher's words, he was using the Gold of Life as a consumable, which is a completely new approach.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and it's difficult to say which one is better.
However, Ye Linyuan's ability to figure out how to use the Gold of Life in such a short time, although somewhat crude, was already beyond Lin Mo's expectations.
If I were to rely solely on myself, I don't know when I would find the correct way to use it.
Thinking of this, a fiery glint appeared in Lin Mo's eyes.
Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Ye Linyuan smiled and continued, "Don't rush, there's something more important."
He cleared his throat, and with a slight thought, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul appeared before him, its pure white flowers blooming quietly, emitting a soft pinkish-white light.
"I used myself as a test subject and successfully used the Gold of Life to help my Martial Soul complete its enhancement."
"Simply put, compared to before, my Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul can achieve a significantly improved healing effect with the same amount of Soul Power."
Ye Linyuan's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
"However, even for an old man like myself, a Titled Douluo, the amount of Gold of Life consumed in strengthening my Martial Soul is extremely small, less than ten drops."
"Furthermore, under the influence of this Gold of Life, my cultivation level jumped directly from the peak of level 93 to more than half of Level 95, increasing my Soul Power by nearly two levels."
"And I won't encounter any bottlenecks for a long time to come."
Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow.
His cultivation level is currently at the peak of level 96, but recently he has been faintly on the verge of a breakthrough. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Old Ye Ye's luck was truly exceptional.
When he was Titled Douluo, he was only a Soul Douluo at level 80-something, and it was unknown when he would ever break through to the Titled Douluo level.
But now, with many fortunate opportunities, his cultivation level has even reached Level 95, and he's about to break through to level 96 and catch up with me.
Dugu Bo stroked his beard and looked at Ye Linyuan with somewhat complicated emotions in his eyes. There was envy and emotion, but mostly he was relieved.
However, I'm not bad off either; I've long since escaped that embarrassing situation I was in back then.
Moreover, after absorbing the inner core of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent that Lin Mo had given him, his Martial Soul Origin was greatly enhanced.
Moreover, he has touched the edge of Martial Soul Evolution. According to his own perception, when his cultivation level breaks through to level 98 or 99, he may have the possibility of completing Martial Soul Evolution!
Once Soul Master's cultivation reaches Level 95 or higher, their Martial Soul will evolve once for each level gained.
In the past, this would have been absolutely impossible.
Moreover, Dugu Bo is now quite confident that he can raise his cultivation level to Level 98, and as for Level 99, he might as well take a gamble.
Ye Linyuan thoroughly enjoyed the attention he received and continued, "However, it's a slight pity that, like the old Old Poison before me, this Gold of Life didn't bring about a qualitative change in my Martial Soul; it only improved Martial Soul quality."
He opened his hand, Nine Heart Begonia swayed gently in his palm. "The quality of your Martial Soul has indeed improved, but there hasn't been a qualitative leap. Compared to the improvement Lingling experienced after consuming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, it's still quite a bit inferior."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately understood.
Like Dugu Bo, Ye Linyuan also suffered from the fact that his cultivation level was too high.
Even if they encounter a spiritual treasure suitable for their Martial Soul, it is difficult for them, as Titled Douluo, to achieve a qualitative leap in their Martial Soul by relying on the power of the spiritual treasure.
Unlike Dugu Yan, who, after consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon Earth Dragon Golden Melon, used its power to evolve her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul into Jade Phosphorous Dragon.
Dugu Bo and the others have much higher cultivation levels, and their Martial Soul are almost fully formed. The difficulty for their Martial Soul to undergo a qualitative change is much, much higher than that of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Lin Mo wasn't surprised that Ye Linyuan had received such a great benefit from less than ten drops of Gold of Life.
This is Gold of Life.
The Life contained in a single drop of the Gold of Life surpasses the Life accumulated by the Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
That would be perfectly normal.
Lin Mo looked up at Ye Linyuan, a hopeful glimmer in her voice. "Teacher, shall I go first, or shall Sister Lingling go first?"
Ye Lingling stood to the side, her purple eyes looking at Lin Mo, and said softly, " A-Mo, you go first. I'm not in a hurry."
Ye Linyuan smiled and nodded. "It's all the same. Since Lingling said so, you can go first."
He stood up. "Let's go to the secret room. This thing requires an absolutely quiet environment to use; it cannot be disturbed."
Also, your absorption process this time might take quite a while, so be prepared.
Lin Mo nodded and stood up.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also stood up, both women's eyes filled with concern.
Ye Lingling said softly, " A-Mo, keep going. Don't rush, take your time."
Dugu Yan was more direct. She stepped forward and reached out to straighten Lin Mo's collar. "Be careful, don't push yourself. If you feel something's wrong, stop. We won't miss this chance."
Lin Mo smiled at them, indicating that they didn't need to worry.
He shook Dugu Yan's hand, then looked at Ye Lingling and nodded.
Led by Ye Linyuan, Lin Mo then entered a secret chamber in the Dugu Manor.
The others did not follow, so as not to disturb Ye Linyuan's work.
The secret room was small, about ten square meters, with several faintly glowing mineral stones embedded in the walls to provide illumination.
There was only a prayer mat in the center, and nothing else.
A faint fluctuation of Soul Power could be felt on the wall. This was Soul Power protective barrier set up by Dugu Bo, which could isolate external interference and prevent the internal situation from leaking out.
Lin Mo took off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique.
Years of training and practice have given him a well-defined physique with firm yet not exaggerated muscles.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and gradually calmed his mind.
Before long, he entered a state of cultivation.
Ye Linyuan walked up to him and took out the emerald green Gold of Life from his pocket.
Although he had already used this piece of Gold of Life to strengthen his Martial Soul, it was difficult to tell the difference between it and the previous one with the naked eye.
It remains the size of a fist, showing no significant Minimize, and the Life it passively exudes is still abundant.
Ye Linyuan knelt down and placed the Gold of Life onto Lin Mo's heart.
The moment Ye Linyuan's palm touched Lin Mo's chest, he could feel Lin Mo's strong heartbeat.
Thump, thump, thump--
Each heartbeat is like the beating of a war drum, pumping blood to every part of the body.
Feeling Lin Mo's exaggerated physical strength, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but admire him inwardly.
Xiao Mo possesses a unique talent in physical abilities that is hard to match.
Judging from Xiao Mo's current situation, once he reaches the Titled Douluo realm, his physical abilities will likely be unparalleled among Titled Douluo.
By then, Xiao Mo will likely be able to deal with some Titled Douluo using only his physical body without using his Martial Soul or Soul Power.
Despite his inner turmoil, Ye Linyuan did not neglect his martial arts skills.
Pinkish-white Soul Power surged from his palm, slowly covering the Gold of Life, becoming a bridge for communication between Lin Mo's body and the Gold of Life.
The next moment, stimulated by Ye Linyuan's Soul Power, the Gold of Life suddenly shone brightly with azure light.
The light was so intense that it almost turned the entire secret chamber blue.
An intensely rich and vibrant Life instantly surged from the metal and was infused into Lin Mo's heart.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo's body trembled slightly.
The Life was so rich and pure that as soon as Lin Mo came into contact with it, he felt as if he were enveloped in warmth.
With each heartbeat, this Life was transported throughout Lin Mo's body via the bloodstream.
Starting from the heart, it flows along the blood vessels to the limbs and bones, permeating every inch of flesh and every bone.
Under the baptism of this massive Life, Lin Mo's body was dyed blue at this moment, exuding unparalleled Life.
Having been in a meditative state for some time, Lin Mo suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of comfort spreading throughout his body.
He now felt that every cell in his body was greedily absorbing the Life transmitted by the Gold of Life.
Moreover, he is now able to see everything inside his body.
Under the baptism of Life, everything within him has now turned into a Life blue.
The meridians have been widened considerably and become more elastic.
The meridians, which were already wider than those of ordinary people, became even more resilient at this moment, able to accommodate more Soul Power.
The Five Viscera and Six Bowels become more resilient, the bones stronger, and the flesh more solidified...
My whole being has undergone a qualitative change.
Unseen by Lin Mo, Ye Linyuan had already begun to use the Gold of Life to strengthen Lin Mo's body through his heart, Synchronize enhancing his Body Martial Soul.
Ye Linyuan continuously channeled his Soul Power into the Gold of Life, guiding its Life into Lin Mo's body.
He could clearly sense that Lin Mo's body was transforming at an astonishing speed.
What Ye Linyuan never expected was that Lin Mo's body, or rather his Body Martial Soul, was extremely thirsty.
The consumption of the Gold of Life far exceeded his initial expectations.
Soon, the amount of Gold of Life consumed by Lin Mo had exceeded the amount he, as Titled Douluo, had consumed when strengthening his Martial Soul.
And it hasn't stopped yet.
Ye Linyuan's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of shock flashed across his face.
Just how big is this child's appetite?
He subconsciously glanced at the Gold of Life in his hand, which had Minimize by a size, and then at Lin Mo, whose body was glowing with a bluish light. A sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
This Titled Douluo himself completed the enhancement using less than ten drops.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, was still absorbing even though the amount consumed was several times greater than his own.
But soon, after recalling Lin Mo's amazing performance along the way, a sense of relief flashed through his mind.
Compared to Lin Mo's previous achievements, this was just a minor skirmish.
I'm used to it; I should have gotten used to it a long time ago.
Ye Linyuan comforted himself in this way.
Even though Ye Linyuan had prepared himself mentally, the amount of Gold of Life Lin Mo ultimately consumed still greatly surprised Ye Linyuan.
Lin Mo's body was like a sponge that had been dry for a long time, greedily devouring the Life of the Gold of Life.
After consuming nearly two-thirds of the Gold of Life, Lin Mo's Life reached saturation and he could no longer absorb any more.
Ye Linyuan looked at the Gold of Life in his hand, which was only a third of its original size, and then at Lin Mo, whose body was glowing with a blue light and whose breathing was steady. He couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Compared to this little guy, I'm quite different.
He stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.
Continuously outputting Soul Power to guide Life is also a considerable drain on him.
After glancing at Lin Mo one last time to confirm that he was in stable condition, Ye Linyuan turned and pushed open the door, leaving the secret room.
He left the secret room to Lin Mo, whose body was glowing with a bluish light.
For Lin Mo, this will be the most important transformation of his Body Martial Soul since he began cultivating.
After leaving the secret room, Ye Linyuan went to the backyard.
Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward to greet them.
"Grandpa, how is A-Mo?" Ye Lingling asked softly, her purple eyes filled with concern.
Ye Linyuan waved his hand, "It's alright, everything went smoothly. It's just that his absorption time might be a bit longer this time, so you don't need to worry too much."
Dugu Yan bit her lip. "About how long will it take?"
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say. He absorbed more than I imagined; it might take several days, or even longer."
However, his condition is stable, and his breathing is steadily improving, which is a good thing.
Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
Ye Linyuan looked at Ye Lingling, " Lingling, it's your turn next."
Ye Lingling nodded and followed Ye Linyuan toward another secret room.
Helping Ye Lingling complete her Martial Soul enhancement was not as difficult as Lin Mo's task.
He and Ye Lingling shared the same Martial Soul origin, and having already accumulated enough experience, he naturally completed the task with great ease.
Pinkish-white light flowed through the secret room, and the Nine Heart Begonia bloomed quietly in front of Ye Lingling.
Infused with the Life of the Gold of Life, the pure white flower became even more translucent, with a faint shimmering light on its petals.
The entire process took less than a day.
However, while Ye Lingling had already emerged from seclusion, Lin Mo was still not out of seclusion.
Everyone stood outside the secret chamber where Lin Mo was in seclusion, a look of worry on their faces.
Dugu Yan bit her lip and looked at Dugu Bo: "Grandpa, will A-Mo be alright?"
Dugu Bo did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and carefully sensed the atmosphere in the secret room.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, his expression somewhat relaxed. "He's fine. His condition remains stable, and his breathing is steadily improving."
Ye Linyuan nodded in agreement. "That's true. He absorbed too much Gold of Life this time, so it will naturally take him longer than Lingling."
Hearing this, the two women felt less worried.
Time passed slowly like this.
One day, two days, three days...
Until the morning of a week later.
In the backyard of the Dugu Manor, everyone gathered in the pavilion as usual.
Just then, a beam of blood-red light suddenly burst forth from the secret chamber where Lin Mo was in seclusion.
However, there was a Soul Power barrier set up by Dugu Bo in advance in the secret room. This barrier, in a precaution, limited the strange phenomenon to a certain range and did not attract the attention of others.
The sheer intensity of that blood energy caused both Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan, two Titled Douluo, to slightly change their expressions.
Immediately afterwards, another beam of Life blue light shot into the sky, intertwining with the blood-red light to create a spectacular scene.
The crimson light and the azure light intertwined and merged in the sky, eventually transforming into a pillar of light that was both red and azure.
Everyone stood up at the same time, their eyes turning towards the secret chamber.
Inside the secret room.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. Faint traces of blood and blue light still lingered on his body, but his eyes had regained their clarity.
He exhaled a long breath, feeling the changes in his body, and his face revealed an uncontainable joy.
Just as he had initially predicted, with the help of the power of the Gold of Life, his Second Martial Soul Body Martial Soul has now completed the most crucial step of its transformation.
It directly completed the most crucial transformation step from a scattered combination of various parts, including the Five Viscera and Six Bowels, blood, eyes, brain, bones, meridians, and flesh.
It has transformed into a complete Body Martial Soul!
That feeling is hard to describe.
Just like jigsaw puzzle pieces that were originally scattered all over the place, they have now been pieced together into a complete picture.
His Martial Soul is no longer a series of independent parts, but a complete whole.
Every part of his body is Martial Soul, and every inch of his flesh and blood contains extremely powerful strength.
With that in mind, Lin Mo subconsciously focused his attention and opened the panel that only he could see.
However, when he saw what was displayed on the panel, a look of surprise crossed his mind.
It was indeed Full-Body Body Martial Soul Full-Body Body Martial Soul, but it differed somewhat from what he had expected.
One more item has been added.
Lin Mo subconsciously rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
On the panel, the line related to Martial Soul clearly displayed two words: Wings.
[ Martial Soul: Full Body (Wings)]
Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.
He does have wings, that's true, but his wings are External Soul Bone; they come from the Scarlet Phoenix Wings, not from his Martial Soul.
Could it be that after my Body Martial Soul transformed this time, my wings also underwent a transformation and were assimilated into my Body Martial Soul?
With a slight thought, a pair of magnificent wings suddenly unfurled from Lin Mo's back.
Scarlet Phoenix Wings.
The moment the wings unfolded, he sensed the change.
As he had expected, along with his own significant improvement, his External Soul Bone, the Scarlet Phoenix Wings, which was already capable of evolving along with its host, also reached the level of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Furthermore, the Scarlet Phoenix Wings, which had not been able to fully fuse before, have now achieved perfect fusion, just like the Scarlet Blood Heart before.
It became an integral part of his body.
That feeling was...
Although the Scarlet Phoenix Wings were also his Soul Bone in the past, there was always a vague sense of distance when using them.
It's hard to describe the feeling; it's like wearing someone else's clothes. They fit well, but they're not truly your own.
Now, that sense of distance has completely disappeared.
The Scarlet Phoenix Wings were like an extension of his body, as natural as his arms and legs.
Thinking about this, a question arose in Lin Mo's mind:
Could it be that this is why the wings manifested by the Scarlet Phoenix Wings were judged to be part of the Martial Soul?
But the next moment, as Lin Mo continued to examine the panel in front of him, the section about Soul Bone brought him another surprise.
[ External Soul Bone; Heart of Life:]
Soul Skill 1: Blood and Qi Control
Soul Skill 2: Indestructible Body
The original Scarlet Blood Heart has disappeared, replaced by a completely new name: Heart of Life.
Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly.
The Heart of Life?
He continued looking down.
The number of Soul Skill possessed below the Heart of Life has also increased from one to the two that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone should have.
In addition to the original Blood and Qi Control, a brand new Soul Skill has been added: Indestructible Body.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Compared to these two surprises, the increase in Soul Power from level 78 to level 79 was secondary.
