Chapter 124: with translation of chapter title

Listening to Gu Xuan's words, Ye Lingling was speechless and rolled his eyes, almost unable to hold back from swearing.

Goddamn, give every loving girl a home? You damn well see one love one?

Ye Lingling was speechless, but also couldn't say anything, because he already clearly knew that Gu Xuan was a lecherous coward, top of the mouth-flower list.

Returning to the academy, Gu Xuan and Ye Lingling went back to their respective mimic training grounds to train; Gu Xuan's mimic training ground had long been built, and Gu Xuan also placed the dragon bone sent by Xue Qinghe inside.

The mimic training ground indeed can amplify a Soul Master's cultivation speed, qualifying as a small cultivation accelerator.

Gu Xuan broke through to rank forty-five in less than a month, but his soul power had already reached mid rank forty-five; besides his diligent hard training, this also came from the benefit of the Space Magic Dragon, his thirty-thousand-year fourth soul ring.

Speaking of which, he rarely uses this fourth soul skill, because there aren't opponents strong enough; he has only used it twice when being beaten by Chen Xin or Gu Rong.

His fourth soul skill is also the Spatial Gate, the same as Gu Rong's eighth soul skill, except his current Spatial Gate distance isn't as terrifying as Gu Rong's; for now it only works within a one-kilometer diameter range.

However, if this distance were known to others, they'd probably be shocked; a rank forty-five Soul Ancestor being able to teleport one kilometer is already exaggerated enough.

Of course, naturally cannot compare with Gu Rong; when Gu Rong obtained this Spatial Gate soul skill, he could already reach ten kilometers, while now this distance of his own has reached a full eighty kilometers; if Gu Rong's strength can further improve in the future, it will become even more terrifying.

Over the next half month, Gu Xuan trained and studied inside the academy, sparring daily with Yu Tianheng and them, and the feelings among them also heated up again.

After all, Gu Xuan remembers their contributions vividly; each of them, though a rough old man, is also a grateful person.

After all, without Gu Xuan, it would be completely impossible for them to now break through to the Soul Ancestor rank.

Now they even want to compete for the championship at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament two years from now.

Of course, this is under the condition of having Gu Xuan, this evildoer.

Half a month passed in a blink, Ye Hai Tang again sought out Gu Xuan, agreeing to the proposal to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

There's no way; after personally seeing the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, she couldn't refuse at all.

Moreover, she also met Yang Wudi; Yang Wudi's alchemy technique is unsurpassed, but when it comes to cultivating medicinal herbs, he is far inferior to her; many herb fields, though planned decently, could still be better in her view.

So she immediately showed a trick, making Yang Wudi also somewhat admire this woman.

After knowing she could make a difference, Ye Hai Tang then put her mind at ease; subsequently she and Zhang Jinshen seriously considered joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, and finally the two decided to give the go-ahead to join.

Subsequently Gu Xuan handed over the already-prepared letter to Ye Hai Tang, asking her to take the letter to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to find Ning Fengzhi; after settling everything, they could then move to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Ye Hai Tang will thereafter reside at the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, specifically responsible for managing the medicinal fields within the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, but the members of the Nine Heart Begonia family live inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

One is to restrict Ye Hai Tang from lining her own pockets; two is also to protect these members of her family.

Having both points, Ye Hai Tang, who has already decided to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, doesn't care; as long as she has no rebellious bone, her family will naturally have no problems.

What Gu Xuan didn't expect was that the Nine Heart Begonia family totals over a thousand people, among whom there are actually more than six hundred Soul Masters, and most of them are at the Soul King to Soul Emperor level, qualifying as an elite family.

Moreover, among them there are actually five Titled Douluo; Zhang Jinshen and You Mingluo respectively have soul power as high as eighty-six and eighty-eight ranks, and You Mingluo furthermore has the potential to break through to Titled Douluo in the future, after all they are only in their fifties.

You Mingluo is Ye Lingling's grandfather; Ye Lingling's original name was You Lingling, but after awakening the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul she changed her surname to Ye, which shows the absolute status of the Nine Heart Begonia.

You Mingluo's martial soul is the War Dragon Spear, which perfectly complements Zhang Jinshen's Lion King Armor martial soul as offense and defense; paired with Ye Hai Tang this big-breasted mom, and together with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone, the combination is roughly the same, this being the support-oriented lineup configured for oneself.

After these matters were settled, Gu Xuan still felt somewhat surprised, after all this was indeed quite fast; in just under a month, the Nine Heart Begonia family chose to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

During this period, Gu Xuan gave Ye Lingling the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to consume; her soul power, which was about to break through to rank forty, directly reached rank forty, and after obtaining a soul ring her soul power will definitely have a huge increase.

Subsequently Gu Xuan took Ye Lingling to the Sunset Forest, because Du Gu Yan discovered a six-thousand-year-old life spirit flower there, which is a plant-type soul beast extremely compatible with Ye Lingling's martial soul.

Because the life spirit flower's ability is also healing, and also area-wide healing; although its effect is not as good as Nine Heart Begonia, a six-thousand-year-old life spirit flower's healing capability is memorable and extremely powerful.

It can be considered a top-tier healing plant-type soul beast; when Du Gu Yan captured this life spirit flower, its surroundings still had a ten-thousand-year-old Earth Abyss Demon Spider guarding it; the Earth Abyss Demon Spider and the life spirit flower can be considered a mutually beneficial existence.

The life spirit flower produces numerous extremely fresh and nourishing dew droplets, naturally attracting countless soul beasts to covet them; the Earth Abyss Demon Spider thus becomes the guardian of the life spirit flower, protecting it while also devouring soul beasts that come to eat the spirit dew, and then the Earth Abyss Demon Spider itself can occasionally eat some spirit dew shared by the life spirit flower, truly a double win.

The Earth Abyss Demon Spider is also a relatively rare soul beast, because it has a move that can limit soul beasts' soul power; however, Dugu Bo cannot use it, nor can Du Gu Yan.

However, Dugu Bo still caught it, because such a rare soul beast isn't something you can encounter just by having strength.

Moreover, Dugu Bo remembers that the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect has a little girl named Li Li whose martial soul is the Human Face Demon Spider, which matches this Earth Abyss Demon Spider extremely well; this Earth Abyss Demon Spider is exactly fifteen thousand years old, making it perfect as Li Li's fourth soul ring, right?

Gu Xuan brought Ye Lingling back to the Sunset Forest to absorb the life spirit flower's soul ring; her soul power directly broke through from rank forty to rank forty-five in one go, putting her on par with Gu Xuan.

Besides the effect of absorbing a soul ring beyond one's level, there is also the effect of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

Moreover, Ye Lingling can now clearly feel that the curse attached to her martial soul has disappeared.

This also means that her future offspring will no longer suffer from the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul's curse; she can bear children freely, and she need not worry that her grandmother would secretly commit suicide because of this curse.

Ye Lingling therefore embraced Gu Xuan and wept bitterly for a while; those were tears of joy.

And Gu Xuan also felt that he must first settle the marriage between himself and Ye Lingling, after all the Nine Heart Begonia without the curse is indeed not to be underestimated; he must firmly grasp it in his own hands.

However, he needs to come up with a good excuse to persuade Du Gu Yan; as long as Du Gu Yan has no objection, everything else is fine.
