Faced with Dugu Bo's questioning, Lin Mo's face remained calm. He simply raised his right hand slowly, this time extending two fingers.
" Martial Soul Evolution, or what you understand as Benign Mutation," Lin Mo's voice was calm, as if stating a fact, "I have already completed it, twice."
"Twice?!"
Upon hearing this, not only were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan stunned, but even Ye Lingling and Ye Linyuan, grandfather and grandson, subconsciously exchanged glances, their faces showing obvious astonishment.
Ye Lingleng purple eyes flickered slightly as she immediately recalled the information recorded in Lin Mo's Soul Master's Notes that she had once read.
She looked at Lin Mo, her tone tinged with uncertainty. " Xiao Mo, the one time you mentioned—could it be referring to your egg-shaped Martial Soul hatching into Charmander?"
Lin Mo nodded. "That's right, the process of turning from an egg into Charmander is itself an evolution."
Ye Lingling immediately seized on the key point in his words and pressed, "But you said twice—could it be that your Second Martial Soul also—also mutated?"
Very few things can change after birth, and those changes are usually referred to as " Martial Soul Mutation ".
Benign Mutation are something all Soul Master dream of, but they are extremely rare.
Lin Mo nodded again, confirming Ye Lingling's guess. "Yes, my Second Martial Soul did indeed evolve once. Or rather, it underwent a beneficial mutation."
He paused, then added, "You and Sister Lengleng actually know the specific time."
"That was when you accompanied me to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain my Second Soul Ring."
" Second Soul Ring?"
Ye Lingling frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the details of that time.
Ye Linyuan paused slightly as he stroked his beard, as if he had thought of something.
Lin Mo didn't keep anyone in suspense, "When I absorbed that Soul Ring, I was lucky enough to obtain an External Soul Bone External Soul Bone, one that I call the ' Scarlet Blood Heart '."
He raised his hand and gently pressed his chest. "It was because I absorbed this Scarlet Blood Heart, which is extremely compatible with my Martial Soul, that my Second Martial Soul underwent a positive mutation."
"From its original heart, it has evolved into the Five Viscera and Six Bowels —that is, all the internal organs in my body, plus the flowing blood."
"What?!"
Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted. He stared intently at Lin Mo, his voice filled with horror, "You—your hidden Second Martial Soul is part of your own body?!"
This news shocked him even more than Lin Mo possessing Twin Martial Souls. A part of the body as Martial Soul? This was simply unheard of!
"That's right," Lin Mo readily admitted, "That's why I also call my Second Martial Soul my Body Martial Soul."
" Body Martial Soul ---- Body Martial Soul ----" Dugu Bo murmured, repeating this unfamiliar term.
Ye Linyuan to the side, wore a look of sudden realization and murmured, "So that's how it is—no wonder, no wonder!"
He looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression, "When you absorbed your Second Soul Ring, I was worried and specially examined your body carefully."
At that time, I noticed that your blood and qi were so abundant, Five Viscera and Six Bowels were so strong, that they far surpassed those of Soul Master of the same level. You were simply unbelievably healthy.
I thought it was just your unique constitution—I never imagined the root cause was here!
He shook his head, and his tone was a little emotional, but also a little relieved. "You kid, you really hide it well enough."
At this point, even if Dugu Bo found it unbelievable, the living example before him left him no choice but to believe it.
Moreover, even if the most ideal method of " Martial Soul Evolution " cannot be achieved in the end, the first two solutions that Lin Mo proposed earlier are by no means worthless to him.
Especially for Dugu Yan, whose cultivation level is still shallow, both the " Soul Bone Method" and the "Slow Cultivation Method" are quite feasible.
This trip was definitely not a wasted one.
Taking a deep breath and Sheer Force suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Dugu Bo looked at Lin Mo with an extremely solemn expression.
Out of caution, he still asked the most crucial question, "Okay, even if the Martial Soul Evolution you mentioned really exists, how do you plan to make my and Yanyan's Martial Soul undergo the kind of Benign Mutation you described?"
That's the crux of the problem.
Knowing something is one thing; being able to do it is another.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief; the most crucial moment had arrived.
He tried to keep his tone calm, "This method is difficult in some ways, and simple in others."
"Firstly, it's like what I experienced back then: absorbing a Soul Ring that is extremely compatible with one's own Martial Soul, or a Soul Bone that is equally compatible."
" Soul Ring are relatively easier to obtain, since as long as you find a suitable Soul Beast, Soul Ring will inevitably appear after hunting it down."
However, finding Soul Ring that perfectly matches the attributes and age of the spirit, and can trigger the evolution of the Martial Soul Origin, is extremely difficult.
As for Soul Bone —you should know their rarity better than I do, senior. Finding a Soul Bone that perfectly matches the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is even more difficult.
Dugu Bo listened in silence, his expression grave.
He was well aware of the rarity of Soul Bone, but what Lin Mo was talking about was even more demanding. Finding Soul Bone that perfectly matched one's own Martial Soul was something that could only be encountered by chance!
However, Lin Mo quickly changed the subject, mentioning a second possibility. "If the paths of Soul Ring and Soul Bone are blocked, then there are other methods."
He paused, then said, word by word, "Absorb spiritual treasures of heaven and earth that are extremely compatible with one's own Martial Soul," which is what we often call "heavenly treasures."
"Rare and precious treasures—" Dugu Bo repeated these four words in a low voice, his heart suddenly filled with turbulent waves.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Mo, as if he had made up his mind, "If it's a rare treasure of heaven and earth, this old man might be able to get his hands on it!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room turned their attention to him.
Dugu Bo stared intently at Lin Mo, "But this is related to the spiritual treasure of heaven and earth— Lin Mo —that is crucial to the evolution of my Martial Soul Origin. I need you to help me determine if he is of any use to me!"
Lin Mo's performance has already won over this Poison Douluo, who is known for his unpredictable temper.
He was willing to believe that Lin Mo truly possessed this ability.
He looked at Lin Mo, "If what you say today is true and can truly help Yanyan and me resolve this Martial Soul Poison—my previous promise will not only be permanently valid!"
"Furthermore, from this day forward, you, Lin Mo, are my greatest benefactor Dugu Bo! As long as I have a breath left, no one on this continent will be able to harm you in the slightest!"
"Okay!" Lin Mo nodded and agreed without hesitation.
The location of the spiritual treasures mentioned by Dugu Bo is undoubtedly the Yin- Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Since Dugu Bo has already brought it up, how could he possibly refuse?
That was his target all along!
