Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

"You mean that by acquiring suitable spirit rings to perfect the origin of your martial soul, you can make up for the deficiencies of your martial soul?"

Old Deng is, after all, a titled Douluo, so he naturally understands many things very quickly.

“Smart…” Lu Yan subconsciously wanted to praise him for being smart, but when Dugu Bo gave him a cold look, Lu Yan immediately changed his tone.

"Your wisdom is extraordinary, and I admire you greatly."

"Pfft!" The little snake girl couldn't help but laugh. She thought that Yan Yan's interactions with his grandfather were sometimes too funny.

"Stop laughing, you little idiot! I'm talking about your martial soul's flaws, and you're still laughing!" Lu Yan glared at the little snake girl.

"Oh!" The little snake girl shrank her neck, like a wronged little wife.

Old Deng, if you mess with me, I'll mess with your precious granddaughter, how about that?

Lu Yan gave Dugu Bo a provocative look, which made Dugu Bo so angry that he almost instinctively reached out to slap Lu Yan.

But when he glanced at his beloved granddaughter, who looked like Lu Yan's obedient little wife, he could only sigh inwardly.

Enough, enough. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

So next, Lu Yan asked Dugu Bo about the source of the first two soul rings of the little snake girl, and learned that they were both venomous snakes.

Lu Yan then revealed his opinion: "If that's the case, then it's very simple. At present, Yan Yan is only slightly affected by the poison from the backlash of her martial soul."

"That is, there was a slight toxin in the secretions, which she herself was completely unaware of."

"A slight adjustment will suffice in the future selection of spirit rings."

At this moment, the little snake girl raised her hand and asked, "Yanyan, I don't understand! How should I choose my next soul ring?"

"What do you think is the origin of your martial spirit?"

"Poison!" the little snake girl answered without hesitation.

"Idiot, there's a snake too!" Lu Yan gestured with his chin, indicating to the little snake girl to look at her own tail.

At this moment, Dugu Bo spoke up: "Is it really that simple? All you need to do is hunt non-venomous snake-type soul beasts for soul rings?"

“Of course… no!” Lu Yan shook his head: “The higher the quality and age of the soul beast, the better. My suggestion is to choose a snake-type soul beast with dragon bloodline.”

"Otherwise, it will affect Yan Yan's potential ceiling," Lu Yan added.

"Choose a high-level or higher type of soul beast with dragon bloodline, so that Yan Yan's martial soul can be guided to mutate and evolve into a dragon species."

"The flaw in the martial soul caused by the backlash of toxins will naturally disappear on its own."

In other fantasy worlds, taking a purely snake-based approach is also perfectly acceptable.

However, in the Douluo Continent, dragons are revered, and there is even a saying that the birth of a martial soul is due to the baptism of the bloodline of the fallen dragon god.

After listening to Lu Yan's words, Dugu Bo fell silent.

Lu Yan ignored him, guessing that he was thinking about some unhappy memories.

So, Lu Yan turned his gaze to his mute sister, who was looking at him with hope.

Subsequently, at Lu Yan's request, the mute sister also told him the secret that only two people with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul could exist at the same time.

It turns out that children who inherit the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul face the problem of rapidly losing their life force from birth.

This problem can only be solved after the martial soul is awakened.

The price was that the inheritor of the previous generation's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul sacrificed all of his own life essence when he awakened the Martial Soul.

By leveraging the power of shared martial spirits, they can compensate for the loss of life in the next generation.

The previous generation's inheritor naturally died and disappeared as a result.

However, this method also has a problem: the origin of a martial soul is composed of the origin of laws and the origin of life.

Sacrificing the source of life will also strengthen the source of the laws.

Therefore, even adding a spirit ring could not shake the fundamental laws of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, and naturally, no extra spirit skills could be added to it.

This flaw in martial spirit will become increasingly pronounced with each generation of inheritance.

Until the previous generation, even if they sacrificed all their life essence, could not plug the imbalance between the life essence and the law essence.

From this point on, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul will be completely severed from its lineage.

"Sigh." After listening to his mute sister's story and seeing her red eyes, which were completely wet, Lu Yan sighed deeply.

The little snake girl, her eyes also red, ran to the mute sister's side and hugged her tightly.

Because the previous inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was Ye Lingling's father.

Her mother also passed away after her father's sacrifice.

After sighing, Lu Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I understand. So, as long as the previous successor's life essence is abundant enough, they should be able to overcome this deadlock, right?"

Upon hearing this, the mute girl nodded with red eyes.

"In theory, once the cultivation of Qi and blood reaches a certain level, it can indeed greatly enhance the source of life. However, my research has reached a bottleneck."

"We may need Lingling's help, as well as your grandfather's."

Lu Yan opened his mouth and revealed the purpose he had been laying out for so long.

He had only speculated about Ye Lingling's martial soul defect before, but now it was completely confirmed.

Ye Lingling readily agreed to Lu Yan's request, saying she would definitely persuade her grandfather to provide assistance.

At the same time, it was also guaranteed that Lu Yan's research secrets would not be leaked.

Thus, Lu Yan could almost foresee that he would inevitably gain the assistance of the continent's number one healing-type soul master.

At the same time, Lu Yan once again turned his gaze to Dugu Bo, this old man.

By now, the old man had come to his senses, but he looked at Lu Yan, hesitant to speak.

Therefore, Lu Yan had a guess in his mind and sent the two girls away.

Sure enough, after the two girls left, Dugu Bo spoke.

"Kid, what if, I mean what if Yan Yan chose poison attribute for all her soul rings?"

"Having cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, you've suffered a backlash from the poison in your martial soul. How do you think you can break this cycle?"

Lu Yan: Lao Deng, should I say you have any shame, or are you shamelessly treating me like a fool?

So Lu Yan just stared at Lao Deng without saying a word.

However, experience counts, and this old man actually met Lu Yan's gaze with a blank expression.

Lu Yan was convinced, but he immediately responded with Bian Que's three consecutive words: "Hopeless, just wait to die, farewell!"

Old Deng was furious, and Lu Yan backed down and confessed.

He casually mentioned the "immortal herb redemption code" from the original work, which is the problem solved by using soul bones.

He then added that the soul bone was only a temporary measure, and to solve the problem without any future troubles, he would need to wait until he perfected his research on the blood and qi system.

In this way, Lu Yan gained command of Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo.

Afterwards, the mute sister was also taken by Dugu Bo and went directly to Tiandou City.

That old guy is quite cautious.

Chapter 90 Meridian Research and First Encounter with Qian Renxue

That evening, Dugu Bo, Ye Lingling, and her grandfather Ye Renxin arrived at Lu Yan's residence.

This was also the first time Lu Yan had met this kind old man whom he had long cherished in his heart.

It's hard to imagine that this is the number one healing-type Soul Master in Douluo Continent, known for his vitality.

He had a withered face, white hair and beard, and looked like he was about to die.

It should be noted that his age is not much different from Dugu Bo's, and he is a Soul Master with the strength of a Soul Douluo, especially as a healing-type Soul Master.

His appearance should definitely not be as aged as it is now.

However, after thinking about the other party's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul inheritance, Lu Yan felt somewhat relieved.

If we say that Dugu Bo lost his son in his middle or old age.

Ye Renxin is a prime example of someone who lost his father in childhood, his son in middle age, and his wife in old age.

Later, Lu Yan learned from the mute sister that this old man was trying to preserve his life essence.

He forcefully replaced the consumption of physical energy with his abundant soul power, using his meager physical energy to support his physical activities.

Everything was being prepared for the continuation of life after Ye Lingling gave birth to children.

Even so, this elder still cultivated extensive connections for his granddaughter's future, leaving behind countless acts of kindness.

So that when that day comes, after losing his protection, Ye Lingling's future will have something to rely on.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

Lu Yan could only sigh, "Another respectable elder."

He was also a pitiful person who suffered greatly from the defects of his martial soul.

If not for unforeseen circumstances, this elder might have felt that the rest of his life no longer belonged to him.

What he was alive was merely a shell, ready to sacrifice himself for his descendants at any moment.

Thus, Lu Yan finally understood why his mute sister had grown into the person she was today.

At such a young age, she has shouldered far too much responsibility and pressure that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.

It hurts people.

This made Lu Yan suddenly feel that the development of his cultivation system was also given a sense of mission.

He is no longer just striving to improve his own abilities.

Thus, from the day Ye Renxin moved in...

Lu Yan also fully immersed himself in the study of meridian theory.

He had already made ample preparations for this.
