But he also has a granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who, like her, suffers from the poisonous martial spirit.
Dugu Bo knew that in terms of talent, his granddaughter was not as good as him. If he could not get rid of the poison in his granddaughter, he might have to bury his daughter.
For his granddaughter, face and freedom are nothing; he is willing to give up everything.
Lin Ye was somewhat surprised that Dugu Bo would just say something like that, something that concerned his life and fortune.
Little did he know that Dugu Bo had already suffered a poisoning attack the previous night.
Lin Ye knew Dugu Bo's personality and knew that this man would never stoop to such a lowly position just to survive. The fact that he went to this extent must be for his granddaughter.
This guy is truly amazing when it comes to his granddaughter; that's why they say grandparents and grandchildren have such a special bond.
Seeing the Snow Empress looking at him with a searching gaze, Lin Ye subconsciously asked, "Sister Snow Maiden, do you have a way?"
Xue Di nodded slightly. "Although his cultivation has made some progress, his control over his power is very shallow. He is also burdened by the poison of his martial soul. If you want to resolve it, it is simple. You only need the Soul Core method."
Soul Core? Lin Ye was slightly taken aback; he actually knew about this.
Soul cores originated from soul beasts, were later learned by soul masters, and became popular in the soul master world ten thousand years later.
Having a soul core has many benefits, such as successfully condensing one to help a soul master break through cultivation levels. Compared to ordinary soul masters, soul masters with soul cores are more enduring.
Furthermore, the Soul Core allows Soul Masters to recover their Soul Power more quickly.
In Douluo Continent II, Huo Gua possessed three major soul cores: the Spirit Soul Core, the Ultimate Ice Soul Core, and the Space Soul Core.
So, it seems that Dugu Bo's deadly poison can also be cultivated into a soul core?
It was only then that Dugu Bo belatedly realized that among the three, the one in charge was not Xue Di, but this little brat.
Surprised, he reacted quickly, pleading with Lin Ye, "Please help me, young friend."
Lin Ye pondered for a moment, then asked Xue Di, "Will this put you in a difficult position?"
Xue Di didn't know why he asked that, but she still answered succinctly, "No."
"Please help me, young friend. I am willing to do anything to repay your kindness." Seeing a glimmer of hope, Dugu Bo pleaded again.
Lin Ye smiled slightly, "There's no need for you to be a slave, but you can't refuse when I need you to do things in the future."
Dugu Bo was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."
"Well, there's one more thing. You can only use the Soul Core Technique yourself. Passing it on to your descendants is fine, but you can't pass it on to outsiders. Can you do that?"
Lin Ye made this request because the boost that soul cores provide to soul masters is too great. If they are widely disseminated, it will strengthen the soul master community, which would be harmful to soul beasts.
He couldn't bring himself to take someone else's knife and kill their underlings. He also couldn't let Xue Di do the work and then suffer the consequences.
Admittedly, soul cores will one day become prevalent among human soul masters. Lin Ye didn't intend to stop it, but he couldn't be the one to spread it.
Dugu Bo naturally had no objection to this. He looked at Xue Di expectantly.
Seeing that Lin Ye had agreed, Xue Di extended a slender, jade-like finger and gently tapped Dugu Bo from a distance.
A beam of white light landed on Dugu Bo's forehead and then vanished without a trace. Dugu Bo's eyes became dazed, and the cultivation method for the Soul Core automatically appeared in his mind, which he quickly memorized.
After a few breaths, he suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful indeed, truly wonderful beyond words."
Lin Ye: "..."
Look at him, so unsophisticated. He looks like a country bumpkin.
The laughter subsided, and Dugu Bo bowed to Xue Di and Lin Ye once again, saying, "I cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lin Ye nodded, quite satisfied; this attitude was good.
Before leaving, Lin Ye pointed to a medicinal herb and said, "That's called Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It's suitable for your martial soul. Eating it will greatly benefit you."
Following Lin Ye's pointing finger, they saw a sweet potato. Unlike ordinary sweet potatoes, the Earth Dragon Golden Sweet Potato had a layer of skin that looked like dragon scales.
Dugu Bo was delighted. If it suited him, it would suit his granddaughter just as well. He had already decided to give the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to his granddaughter.
When he turned back to express his gratitude, the three had already walked away.
Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel emotional. He had thought it was a calamity, but it turned out to be a great opportunity.
On the other side, Lin Ye and the other two had already left the poison array. Lin Ye handed a bracelet to Bing Di.
"Bing'er, here you go. Wear it to conceal your soul beast's aura."
This bracelet is that ancient soul tool. Just as Lin Ye said, it can conceal the aura of a soul beast, and of course, it can also conceal the aura of a soul master.
Previously, Dugu Bo had recognized Bingdi's identity at a glance and reminded Lin Ye.
Soul beasts are too conspicuous in human society. It's not that they're afraid, but it's annoying to be the target of others' attention.
Hyotei rolled her eyes and muttered, "You brat, have no manners. Call me 'older sister'."
Lin Ye was speechless. What had he said before?
Woman, your name is fickle.
Immediately afterward, Lin Ye looked at Xue Di and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, there's only one of these."
Xue Di shook her head nonchalantly, "It's alright, I don't need it. Ordinary Title Douluos can't see through my concealment techniques."
So that's how it is. I have to say, she really is a big shot! Lin Ye thought to himself, the reason he didn't prepare anything for Xue Di was probably because she didn't need it.
……
Tian Dou City is very close to Sunset Forest. An hour later, the three of them appeared in Tian Dou City.
The restless Hyotei looked around, finding everything novel and fascinating, much like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
By chance, Lin Ye noticed a display area in front of a clothing store, where among the many clothes was a black and white maid outfit.
Maid outfit! Lin Ye's eyes lit up. This outfit seems perfect for Hyotei.
"Hey, Lin Ye, what are we doing there? Didn't you say you were going to buy me something delicious?"
"I'll buy the delicious food later, but I'll buy you some nice clothes first."
Lin Ye was very generous, buying over a dozen outfits for Hyotei, and of course, he didn't forget Yuki, as he couldn't show favoritism.
It's just that there are no cheongsams in Douluo Continent, otherwise, Gao Di would definitely arrange one for Xue Di.
When the three of them walked out of the clothing store, Hyotei had already changed its style drastically.
She is 1.5 meters tall, has a baby face, skin that is smooth and delicate, big, bright eyes, a pretty nose, and cherry-red, glossy lips.
Her long, emerald-green hair was tied into pigtails, and she wore cat ear accessories and a black and white maid outfit.
She looks exactly like a little girl.
This is what it means to be pleasing to the eye.
Hyotei hummed a little tune, completely unaware of the human maid outfit, only thinking it was quite pretty.
Looking at Hyotei's attire, Lin Ye had a wicked thought.
……
Holy Soul Village is located in the Fasno Province of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Holy Soul Village sounds impressive, doesn't it? But it's actually just a small village with only three hundred households.
There's a legend that a powerful being at the Soul Saint level emerged from this place a hundred years ago. The village of Holy Souls gets its name from this. The local villagers often tell this story and boast about it.
