Chapter 161 Heartbreaking Red of Longing
Yang Podi gently said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, don't worry, I will definitely give you the best things in the world, and I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world."
Ye Lingling seemed very happy too: "Po Di, I believe in you, I believe you can do it."
Yang Podi looked at Ye Lingling in front of him and took out a jade box from his soul tool: "Lingling, you will definitely be happy."
Ye Lingling seemed a little confused: "Po Di, what is this?"
Yang Podi spoke softly, "You'll see when you open it. This is my token of my affection for you."
After hearing this, Ye Lingling gently opened the jade box. Inside was an ordinary-looking white flower, about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, without any leaves. The stem was connected to a large stone, which was jet black and incredibly heavy. On the white flower were several striking red petals, as red as blood, giving it a breathtaking appearance.
Ye Lingling couldn't help but cover her mouth, finally speaking with excitement, "Po Di, is this the 'Heartbreak Red' you mentioned?"
Yang Podi nodded: "This is indeed the Acacia Heartbreak Red, a divine treasure among immortal herbs, with the effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones. It will definitely be able to lift the Nine Heart Begonia curse from your body."
Ye Lingling stared blankly at the Acacia 'Heartbreak' red acacia, tears streaming down her face, unsure whether it was from joy or excitement.
Yang Podi rushed over and hugged Ye Lingling, letting her cry incessantly in his arms, feeling a pang of heartache and tenderness in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Lingling finally calmed down, and her mood seemed to have improved a lot. Even the worry that had been lingering in her eyes for so long was gone.
Yang Podi then released Ye Lingling: "Lingling, you need to pick this Acacia Heartbreak Red flower yourself. You should already know the story of this flower. But remember, when you pick it, you need to be single-minded. You must be thinking of your beloved, sincere and earnest, and sprinkle a drop of your heart's blood on the petals. If you are even slightly distracted, even if you vomit blood and die, you will never be able to pick the flower."
Ye Lingling stared blankly at Yang Podi. At this moment, she no longer felt the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia, the constraints of her family, or anything of worldly matters. The two seemed like an ordinary couple, a couple who would never be apart.
Thinking of this, a trickle of blood seemed to emerge from the corner of Ye Lingling's mouth. The blood dripped onto the Acacia Heartbreak Red, causing the entire Acacia Heartbreak Red to radiate a brilliant red light, shining exceptionally brightly. Immediately afterward, the Black Stone at the base of the Acacia Heartbreak Red seemed to be affected by something, and fine cracks appeared on its surface. Eventually, the cracks covered the entire Black Stone, and the Black Stone shattered into fragments.
The Acacia Heartbreak Red in front of her suddenly floated up on its own and drifted to Ye Lingling's eyes. Ye Lingling and the Acacia Heartbreak Red seemed to have a connection, like family, or like master and servant.
Ye Lingling seemed a little reluctant: "Po Di, I really can't bear to eat this Acacia Heartbreak Red. I feel like there's a connection between the Acacia Heartbreak Red and me."
Yang Podi stroked Ye Lingling's face: "Lingling, you have already established a connection with the Acacia Heartbreak Red. You can feel the Acacia Heartbreak Red for yourself. She should also have her own thoughts."
Upon hearing Yang Podi's words, Ye Lingling carefully tried to feel the beauty of this acacia-flowered heartbreak red.
Unexpectedly, the Acacia Heartbreak Red seems to have a great attraction to Ye Lingling.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Lingling's martial soul, Nine Heart Begonia, involuntarily revealed itself. The Nine Heart Begonia and the Acacia Heartbreak Red seemed to echo each other, as if there was some connection between the two flowers. In the end, the Acacia Heartbreak Red actually turned into a red light and slowly merged into the Nine Heart Begonia.
At the same time, the Nine-Heart Begonia seemed to transform into a giant begonia flower, enveloping Ye Lingling's entire body, like a flower stamen or a flower cocoon.
As time slowly passed, the Nine-Heart Begonia seemed to undergo a change. The originally pale blue flowers began to change, with streaks of white and blood red slowly appearing on the blossoms. The three colors eventually merged into one, forming a completely new Nine-Heart Begonia.
At the same time, the light of the Nine-Heart Begonia also changed, seemingly emitting a red glow, appearing incomparably noble, as if it were a king ruling the world.
After an unknown amount of time, the Nine-Heart Begonia gradually returned to a person's body, and Ye Lingling's aura also changed. Her soul power and physical qualities seemed to have greatly improved, and the gentle aura she originally possessed now appeared even more noble, giving her a sense of unparalleled elegance.
At this moment, Ye Lingling opened her eyes and hugged Yang Podi with great excitement: "Podi, I succeeded! I think my martial soul, Nine Heart Begonia, has evolved, and the flaws in my martial soul are completely gone."
"My soul power has now reached level 50, but I feel that my soul power is far more than level 50. After I absorb all the soul rings, my soul power should increase significantly."
"Furthermore, I've discovered that besides healing, my martial soul now also possesses a built-in defensive soul skill: Nine Hearts Divine Light Protection. Moreover, this skill seems to become stronger as my soul power increases."
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Under the effect of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, your soul power has increased by at least 5 levels, or even more, and the flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul have now been resolved. More importantly, under the effect of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, your physical fitness has been greatly improved, and even your body's recovery strength will be greatly enhanced. You should have no problem absorbing a 2-year soul ring now."
Ye Lingling nodded: "I also feel that my body has become much stronger. I plan to go back to the family in the next couple of days to tell my grandfather this good news. My grandfather has worried about the family his whole life, so this will put his mind at ease."
"Where's your fifth spirit ring? Do you want me to come with you?"
Ye Lingling shook her head: "I want to go a few days later. I'll go back to see my grandfather first."
Yang Podi thought for a moment and said, "That's fine too. Let's play for a few days. Then we can go to Sunset Forest together. Niu Meng also needs his fifth spirit ring."
The two then embraced, seemingly gradually succumbing to temptation.
Meanwhile, in a relatively secluded place in Tiandou City.
After Tang Hao fought a great battle with Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo, the Li clan's territory was destroyed, and the Min clan was also affected to some extent. As a result, both clans moved into Tiandou City.
However, it is no longer the family residence. Instead, the remaining personnel of the two families have merged together and directly put up the name of Tang Sect. However, Tang Sect is not having a good time now.
The Min clan was relatively weak in combat and had a low income. Although the Li clan made a lot of money by crafting hidden weapons, the clan suffered heavy losses after that battle, and even their clan's residence was razed to the ground. Their lives were even more miserable than when they first left the Haotian Sect.
At this moment, Tang Hao, Tang San, Bai He, and Titan were together in a secret room of the Tang Sect.
Tang Hao was clearly in poor physical condition. When he was at the Spirit Hall, he fought seven opponents at once and even used the Exploding Ring technique, which can be described as a desperate attack.
Even with Tang Hao's formidable strength, he was still seriously injured. Coupled with the recurrence of his previous severe injuries, he would have likely died on the spot if not for his strong physique and high-age soul bones throughout his body.
Fortunately, the Spirit Hall did not pursue them, and with Bai He's help, they escaped a calamity, but were still severely injured.
After Bai He led Tang Hao and Tang San to escape from the Spirit Hall, none of them knew how to deal with Xiao Wu.
If Xiao Wu were to follow Tang Hao and his group, she would be a mobile 10-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone. Even with Tang Hao's formidable strength, he would not be able to stop the many covetous individuals, and would even attract the pursuit of countless Title Douluos.
Ultimately, with no other choice, Xiao Wu left alone. Now, Xiao Wu has also felt the malice of humans and the endless danger. She plans to return to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, where Da Ming and Er Ming are, and at least her safety can be guaranteed.
After Xiao Wu left, Bai He took Tang Hao and Tang San back to Tian Dou City. At least within Tian Dou, as long as they weren't discovered, the three of them were relatively safe in the short term.
At the same time, Bai He took Tang San and Tang Hao to the residence of Ye Renxin, the Nine-Heart Begonia. Ye Renxin is known as the number one healing soul master on the continent, so she should be able to help Tang Hao's injuries.
After the three arrived at Ye Renxin's residence, although Ye Renxin didn't really want to get involved in the affairs of the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, he still carefully examined Tang Hao according to his doctor's nature and did his best to treat him. However, after the treatment, Ye Renxin couldn't help but shake his head.
Seeing Ye Renxin's attitude, Tang Hao couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ye, how are my injuries now? Can they be fully healed?"
Ye Renxin looked at Tang Hao and said, "You should know your injuries better than anyone else. Your old injuries were probably caused fourteen years ago, and they haven't been treated all these years. The injuries have penetrated deep into your bone marrow."
"In this battle against the Spirit Hall, you forced yourself to fight with all your might before your old injuries had healed, which has damaged your very foundation. Although I am known as the number one healing spirit master on the continent, I am only a Soul Douluo and I am helpless to help you with your old injuries."
"While I can temporarily stabilize your injuries and even heal some minor ones, you forcibly used the Ring Explosion technique. You should know better than anyone the side effects of the Ring Explosion, which cannot be cured by external force. Unless I reach the level of a Title Douluo, there should be no one in this world who can completely heal your injuries."
Tang San, on the other hand, seemed unusually nervous: "Senior Ye, is there no way to completely cure my father's injuries? If you can heal my father, I will definitely repay you with my life in the future."
Ye Renxin simply said, "Given your father's injuries, a Title Douluo-level healing Soul Master is needed for a full recovery. Such Soul Masters don't exist on the entire continent. If we can find rare and precious healing treasures, perhaps there will be a chance."
Tang San still seemed somewhat unwilling: "Senior Ye, if you do your best to heal him, is there really no way? Isn't the Nine-Heart Begonia hailed as a miracle in the Soul Master world? Can it guarantee he won't die?"
Ye Renxin seemed completely unmoved: "I did my best in the treatment just now. Your father is almost fully recovered on the surface. As long as he doesn't fight with all his might, his life won't be in danger."
"But you didn't use your eighth soul skill just now, you only used a regular soul skill."
Ye Renxin shook his head: "Young man, it seems your knowledge is still limited. All the soul skills of Nine Heart Begonia have the same effect. No matter how many soul rings are added, there is only one healing soul skill. Whether it is the first soul skill or the eighth soul skill, the effect is the same."
"If we really want to heal your father's injuries, there's probably no way to do it through the Soul Master method. Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope through medicine."
The three of them eventually left the Ye family with no other choice. After they left, Tang San seemed a little puzzled and asked Tang Hao, "If Ye Renxin had done his best to treat you, would he have been able to cure you?"
Tang Hao shook his head: "The injuries on my body have accumulated over the past 10 years. Many of the hidden injuries have penetrated deep into the bone marrow and cannot be completely cured. Just as he said, I'm afraid only rare and precious medicinal herbs can treat them."
Upon hearing this, Tang San seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "Dad, what did Bibi Dong and Yang Podi say at the Spirit Hall? Yang Podi became so powerful because he ate the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Moreover, the Po Clan is famous for its alchemy. Could they possibly have some way to cure your father?"
Tang Hao shook his head again: "Our relationship with the Broken Clan is so strained now, especially last time when we almost came to blows. It's impossible for us to get their help."
"Especially Yang Wudi, who has an exceptionally strong personality and is not easily swayed by either soft or hard tactics, and I cannot use my full strength right now, we might suffer if we start fighting."
"Besides, to fully heal me, we would probably need rare and precious materials. The Broken Clan would never use such rare and precious materials on me; they will never forget the disaster I brought them back then."
"Last time at the Spirit Hall, I was besieged by seven people from the Spirit Hall. Yang Wudi and Niu Gao did not try to help me. They must have made up their minds not to get involved in the feud between me and the Spirit Hall."
