In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 12 Panlonggen White Polygonatum

"Okay! You should study hard then. I have something to do, so I'll go now!"

Then, Kahn turned his gaze to Mu Jiabao, well, with a staring look.

Mu Jiabao panicked even more when faced with Kahn's gaze.

Mu Jiabao: Sure enough, I shouldn't have come here with Ah Hai. Sigh, why did I have to be so foolish as to come with Ah Hai!

"As for you, Mu Jiabao, stop thinking about playing and eating all day and focus on your cultivation. Don't let me see you fall two levels behind Xiao Hai in soul power, or else you'll just have to try!!"

Mu Jiabao trembled, looking so small and helpless.

Lin Hai was also stunned, but he managed to keep a straight face. This was the first time he had ever seen Aunt Kahn like this!

Kahn seemed to realize that they weren't at home, and glanced at Lin Hai somewhat guiltily. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Hai didn't show any unusual behavior.

She then glared at Mu Jiabao before leaving, seemingly blaming him for losing her composure in front of the young Lin Hai, thus shattering the beautiful image she held in his mind.

Mu Jiabao: I didn't check the almanac before going out today. Did Mom get shot? Why is she so angry today?!

Kahn: It's all because of you, you brat! We're both kids, but Lin Hai is hardworking and diligent, while all you think about is food. And the worst part is, I saw this! How could I not be angry?!

……

Kahn left with a flourish, leaving Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao looking at each other in bewilderment.

Lin Hai felt a little sorry for Mu Jiabao at this moment. It turned out that Aunt Kahn, whom he usually saw, had another side. Sure enough, he hadn't experienced the harshness of society in his previous life, and his life experience was still a bit shallow. For a moment, Lin Hai actually felt a little sorry for Mu Jiabao and Uncle Mu.

"Good brother, I didn't understand you before!"

Lin Hai pursed his lips, then patted Mu Jiabao's shoulder gently in a comforting manner, saying, "You've suffered!"

At this moment, Mu Jiabao could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, Ah Hai, I'm suffering!"

"You know me, I've loved eating since I was little, but my mom always tries to stop me from doing that."

"Besides, at home, my dad is the one who gets beaten and scolded. It's common for him to kneel on the black tortoise shell. When I do something wrong, he has to take the blame for me from time to time."

Listening to Mu Jiabao's narration, Lin Hai exclaimed: "Good heavens, how dare you say you've suffered! It's just that your belly was restricted from being used! Doesn't Aunt Kahn want to find a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future?"

Ah, so young, so very young!

……

"The family is not very harmonious overall. Although my mom always bullies my dad at home, sometimes my dad will fight back at night and beat my mom until she screams."

"I wanted to go up and help my mom, but considering my dad's size, I could only hide on the bed and not dare to make a sound."

"But it makes me uncomfortable to look at!"

Lin Hai: Good heavens, is this something I can even hear? And thank goodness you didn't rush out! Otherwise, it would have been a truly heartwarming scene of fatherly love and filial piety.

Well, Lin Hai was speechless. Mu Jiabao truly lived up to his reputation as the light shining through a clear spring—a pure, unfiltered light!

Lin Hai didn't want to pay attention to this clown. He was perfectly fine, yet he made himself sound so wronged. At most, Aunt Kahn was a little strict with him, but she didn't hit or scold him!

Lin Hai easily found the manager of the library. Mu Jiabao, seeing that Lin Hai ignored him, was not annoyed and obediently followed behind Lin Hai into the library.

The steward gave Lin Hai some instructions as usual before going out to attend to other matters.

As for the problems?

Steward: Hehe, Lin Hai has never given me any trouble. As for Mu Jiabao, sigh! He's even less of a problem. Even if something happens, his father is there to help!

……

"Jiabao, you should stay here and cultivate properly! I'll stop here. After I break through, I'll wait for you for two to three months at most. During this period, if you can work hard and break through to the Soul Master level, we'll go hunting for Soul Rings together, and I'll find you the most suitable Soul Ring."

"If not, hehe, then don't blame me for pulling you too far away! So that you'll suffer Aunt Kahn's punishment! Hehehehe!" Lin Hai chirped strangely.

"Mmm-hmm!" Mu Jiabao nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. When it came to matters concerning himself, Mu Jiabao knew which was more important.

Lin Hai also hopes that his friend can reach the summit together.

Afterwards, the two went about their own business. Mu Jiabao entered into meditation to cultivate, while Lin Hai once again perused the complete encyclopedia of plant-type soul beasts, focusing on precise location to find suitable plant-type soul beasts.

I've seen this before, but this time I need to take a closer look at the attribute combinations.

……

"The Azure Spirit Tree grows in mountain streams and attacks through branches that sprout from its roots. It has a high probability of granting healing and offensive soul skills; however, this plant is very fragile, so forget about offensive skills!"

"This won't do."

"The Panlong Root, according to legend, is the trunk of a tree that grew in the land where dragons dwelled. In the end, for some unknown reason, only the stump and roots remained. However, because it was imbued with the aura of the dragons, it has transformed and increased in price!"

"Well, let's call it a legend for now, but legends need some basis to be passed down."

"Since this dragon root can survive with only the stump and roots remaining, its vitality must be strong and its life attributes must be sufficient. It has been imbued with the aura of the dragon race. Since ancient times, the dragon race has been synonymous with physical strength, so the hardening attribute of this dragon root should also be strong."

"Let's keep it in the shortlist for now! Finding one is a matter of luck, and the book doesn't specify where it is."

"Let me take another look..."

……

"Hmm? This..." Lin Hai looked at an illustration in the book, which also depicted a white, jade-like bamboo.

"White Jade Bamboo!" Lin Hai recited each word carefully.

"They usually grow on the highest mountain, bathed in the essence of the sun and moon and absorbing the sap from the earth's veins. They are pure white and flawless, with a lustrous sheen."

"White Jade Bamboo is known for its tenacious vitality and resilience, making it particularly popular among defensive Soul Masters. The Soul Skills it produces are most likely to be related to defense, while also enhancing the hardening of the Martial Soul itself. There is also a small chance that it can acquire a Soul Skill that heals life."

"According to records, a Soul Master with the Golden Gourd Martial Soul once absorbed this Soul Beast's Soul Ring and gained a healing Soul Skill!"

Lin Hai closed the book. "I guess the affiliation of this soul skill is related to the martial soul! If it's a plant-type martial soul, the life attribute is closer, and the probability of obtaining this type of soul skill will be very high."
