Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 48 Soul Bone

When the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room, Lin Yizhang woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes.

A beautiful day has arrived. Lin Yizhang plans to stay at Ye Lingling's house for two days.

Lin Yizhang got up and opened his door. Hearing the noise coming from the courtyard, he knew that Zhang Fan had already gotten up early to practice his spear. In Douluo Continent, there are sword techniques and spear techniques, such as the Seven Kill Sword Technique of Sword Douluo.

Of course, Zhang Fan's marksmanship wasn't any famous style, nor was he taught by anyone. He figured out his own techniques on his own, which were mostly basic movements like thrusting, parrying, and sweeping.

Lin Yizhang watched as he summoned his dragon-patterned spear every morning to practice these basic movements, and even linked them together. He wielded the dragon-patterned spear with great skill and grace, making it a pleasing sight to behold.

Lin Yizhang, who often sparred with Zhang Fan, knew that Zhang Fan's marksmanship was not just for show; it was genuine combat skill. Lin Yizhang found it difficult to get close enough to fight him in melee combat, and he could only land one or two sweeping attacks without actually hitting him.

After washing up, Lin Yizhang came to the courtyard and called out, "Cultivation maniac, come and have breakfast!"

Lin Yizhang had someone buy the breakfast from the hotel on his behalf. His courtyard wasn't very big, and only Zhang Fan and he lived there. For convenience, Lin Yizhang hired a waiter from a nearby hotel to deliver two meals a day.

After breakfast, Lin Yizhang said, "I'm going to stay at Lingling's house for a few days, and then I'll go see Senior Dugu. Senior Dugu has a lot of knowledge about pharmacology, and I plan to talk to him about refining pills, so I won't be staying here for a while."

Zhang Fan nodded and said, "No problem. But can the pills you mentioned really help a Soul Master cultivate without any side effects? What if you get some side effects after taking them? I think you should spend your time cultivating your Soul Power."

Lin Yizhang smiled and said, "The pills made by the Po clan have various effects, such as healing and detoxification. What I'm talking about is similar to this. All medicines have some degree of toxicity, but alchemy utilizes the special effects of various herbs and combines them to mix and condense the essence of the herbs into a pill. The medicinal power of various herbs will be fully utilized, without any impurities, which is precisely to remove this 'some degree of toxicity'."

Only pills refined in this way are true pills, free from residual toxins and side effects. Of course, pills can aid cultivation, but one shouldn't rely excessively on their potency to enhance soul power, otherwise it can easily lead to an unstable foundation. Even if I explain all this to you now, you might not understand. Once I've refined the finished product, I'll show you its actual effects, and you'll understand.”

Zhang Fan said, "Alright, since you've said that, I support you."

After breakfast, Lin Yizhang arrived at Ye Lingling's house with practiced ease. He had visited Ye Lingling's house quite often over the years, so he knew the way very well.

Four years have passed, and Ye Xin and Zhong Yun's soul power levels are now vastly different from what they used to be.

Four years ago, when Lin Yizhang first arrived in Tiandou City, Ye Xin was only a level 63 Soul Emperor, and Zhong Yun was only a level 75 Soul Saint.

Over the past four years, especially after practicing the "upgraded cultivation method" two years ago, Ye Xin and Zhong Yun's soul power cultivation speed has increased significantly. Now, Ye Xin has reached level 69, while Zhong Yun has become a level 81 Soul Douluo.

Zhong Yun's eighth spirit ring, which he obtained after advancing to the Soul Douluo level, was obtained with the help of Dugu Bo, who hunted down an eagle that was over 6 years old.

When Zhong Yun returned, he took out a right leg soul bone to give to Lin Yizhang. Zhong Yun explained that it was dropped from the eagle-falcon soul beast. After discussing it with Dugu Bo, he planned to leave this high-quality right leg soul bone to his (grand)son-in-law, Lin Yizhang.

Lin Yizhang did not accept it because this soul bone was only 60,000 years old, and it was only the right leg soul bone. How could it compare to the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone!

Furthermore, it is well known in the Soul Master world that only when the same Soul Beast absorbs its Soul Ring and Soul Bone can its power be maximized.

So in the end, Lin Yizhang suggested that Zhong Yun absorb it himself, but Zhong Yun did not intend to absorb it. Even though Lin Yizhang did not intend to absorb it, he still forced it on Lin Yizhang.

Perhaps this was something he and Poison Douluo had agreed upon beforehand, and he couldn't go back on his word.

In the end, Lin Yizhang could only secretly pass it on to Ye Lingling for absorption.

As for why it was given to Ye Lingling instead of Dugu Yan, it's obvious that this soul bone isn't poisonous, and its skill is most likely a speed-type soul skill, making it more suitable for Ye Lingling to save her life.

After absorbing the soul bone, Ye Lingling's soul power increased by one level, making her current soul power level one level higher than Dugu Yan's.

Lin Yizhang had discussed the matter of letting Ye Lingling absorb the soul bone with Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan had agreed. Dugu Yan was not an unreasonable person; she herself was indeed not suitable to absorb this soul bone, and besides, she and Ye Lingling were like sisters, so this matter did not cause any resentment among the three of them.

After entering the Nine Heart Begonia family mansion and greeting Ye Xin and Zhong Yun, Lin Yizhang went to Ye Lingling's room and found her.

Upon seeing Lin Yizhang arrive, Ye Lingling immediately threw herself into his arms and whispered, "Yizhang, didn't we only have three days of vacation? Why did you come to see me so soon?"

Lin Yizhang has a high EQ, and upon hearing this, he replied directly, "Of course I miss you, my darling Lingling. I can't get used to not seeing you for a day."

Ye Lingling scoffed, "Hmph, you smooth talker, I don't believe your nonsense."

Lin Yizhang said, "Since you say so, Lingling, then I'll use my smooth tongue to express my longing for you." After saying that, Lin Yizhang tore off the black veil that Ye Lingling was wearing and kissed her alluring red lips directly.

After a flurry of sweet talk, Ye Lingling collapsed into Lin Yizhang's arms. Lin Yizhang wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and once she regained her strength, he said to her, "My darling Lingling, do you believe me now?"

Hearing Lin Yizhang still teasing her, Ye Lingling kept punching Lin Yizhang's chest with her small pink fists, saying, "I'll beat you to death, you bad guy, all you do is bully me."

The two chatted for a long time.

Ye Lingling said, "Didn't you say you were going to refine pills? Now you should be reviewing your knowledge of herbs, right? Come on, I'll take you there."
