Chapter 118: Arrangements and Plans, Ling Luochen's Shock

The stars revolved, and time quickly arrived at the next day.

Shu Yan exhaled a long breath of turbid air. Having been in deep meditation for over three days, his body was still in peak condition, and his spirit was clear. Spiritual power flowed rapidly in his meridians, and the world in front of him seemed to have a hint of silver halo.

Pushing the door and walking out, Shu Yan looked at Ling Luochen, who was sitting at the table, slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect her to be here now.

Ling Luochen was also startled by Shu Yan's sudden appearance. Thinking of the previous events, she turned her head slightly again and said softly: "Good morning."

"Morning."

Shu Yan responded, picked up the water pot on the side to pour himself a glass of water, and then said as if unintentionally:

"Why are you here? Didn't something happen in the clan?"

Ling Luochen lowered her eyes slightly, her expression seeming to sink for a moment, but she still said: "The matter in the family has been basically resolved. My grandfather doesn't have much life left. I will accompany him in Heaven Dou City to finish his last time, then return to Shrek Academy to drop out, and then I will go with you."

Shu Yan sighed softly, looking at the weather outside that seemed to be about to rain, and asked softly: "How is the old man's body?"

Ling Luochen pursed her lips and then said:

"Source overdraft, recurrence of old injuries, plus grandfather's blood and energy have decayed too severely over the years. It can almost be said that medicine and stone are useless."

"However, he has already let go. Except for the younger generation being a bit chilling, everything else in his life was perfect. In his last time, he was almost always in a coma, rarely having moments of clarity."

Shu Yan responded gently, then patted Ling Luochen's shoulder and said softly: "Accompany the old man more in his last time. If there is anything in the family that you cannot solve, you can come to us."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen's expression had a touch of strangeness. She mumbled for a long time, but never spoke, until the Ice Empress, who had been eavesdropping at the door, pushed the door open and said: "Alright, stop making empty promises to others, the matter has already been solved by me."

The Ice Empress rolled her eyes at Shu Yan and then said slowly.

"Hmm?"

Shu Yan was obviously a bit surprised.

"There wasn't a single person in this little girl's family who was easy to deal with, and even her dad was bewitched by a woman and prepared to make a move on his own biological father. I accompanied her to her house, abolished the cultivation of her dad and several people with the heaviest different hearts according to her wishes, and that woman was also killed by me. Now the people in their family should have learned to be honest."

Shu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, not feeling anything, just asked another sentence: "Didn't cause any big commotion, right?"

The Ice Empress shook her head. They had just slaughtered a duke of theirs some time ago. No matter what, they had to restrain themselves during this period. Otherwise, wouldn't that be going against themselves?

"That's good. By the way, Ling Luochen, there might be one more thing here that needs your help."

Shu Yan thought for a while and said.

Ling Luochen was slightly startled, thinking for a while, but still couldn't think of what she, a mere Soul Ancestor, could help Shu Yan with.

In Ling Luochen's curious eyes, Shu Yan took out a strange jade stone from his soul tool and handed it to Ling Luochen.

"After you return to Shrek Academy, give this jade stone to your inner courtyard senior sister Zhang Lexuan. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should belong to their family."

Ling Luochen was slightly surprised. Zhang Lexuan held a high status in the inner courtyard. She was usually gentle and kind, treating all students almost equally. In the future, she was destined to become a high-level member of Shrek. It's just her background... well, Ling Luochen actually knew a little bit. As a noble from the Heaven Soul Empire, the two of them were actually compatriots, so naturally, she knew a little more.

"Don't worry, I will personally hand it to Senior Sister."

Ling Luochen put the jade stone into her soul tool and said seriously.

Shu Yan responded gently and then said: "My cultivation will break through to level 70 in at most two months. At that time, after obtaining the seventh soul ring, I will leave here and return to the Star Luo Empire. With your talent, Shrek Academy will definitely try to keep you. At that time, you just say that your grandfather asked you to find an old friend to apprentice. If that doesn't work, you can contact us through this crystal."

As he spoke, Shu Yan sent an ice-blue diamond-shaped crystal in front of Ling Luochen's forehead. Ling Luochen hesitated for a moment, but still released the protection of her sea of consciousness and let this crystal enter her sea of consciousness.

The feeling of comfort came again. Ling Luochen couldn't help but let out a soft hum, but afterward, she suddenly realized the occasion was wrong and hurriedly lowered her head in shame.

"There is a unique array in this crystal that allows you to communicate with me over a long distance through spiritual power. The crystal itself is also condensed from a top-tier ice-attribute treasure, which only has benefits and no harm to you."

Ling Luochen was ashamed for a while. After barely organizing her emotions, she looked at Shu Yan with some surprise. She struggled for a while before asking: "May I ask, how old are you?"

Shu Yan laughed dumbly. He said casually: "We can be considered companions, you don't have to be so restrained. We are destined to be fellow travelers in the future, you can get used to it first."

"You can treat me as fifteen years old. Actually, it's about the same. Jiujiu is slightly older than me, and Dugu Yan is eighteen. They are both Soul King cultivation. As for the ages of Sister Xue and the other, you'd better not ask too much. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, the Ice Empress had quietly touched behind Shu Yan, jumped onto Shu Yan's back, and then pinched his cheek fiercely.

Shu Yan carried the Ice Empress, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, away, and then looked at Ling Luochen helplessly:

"See, they are actually very easy to get along with, it just depends on your own acceptance ability."

The astonishment and shock in Ling Luochen's eyes were undisguised. If she remembered correctly, Shu Yan just said he was about to break through to the Soul Sage level, right? She had originally thought Shu Yan was at least twenty years old, but she never expected that he was only a mere fifteen years old.

A fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor! This is how shocking! Even looking at Shrek Academy, which is full of geniuses, you absolutely can't find a genius like this. Ma Xiaotao, who fights with her every day in the inner courtyard, didn't have such powerful cultivation at this age, let alone the attribute Shu Yan possessed was the extremely powerful Extreme Ice...

This...

Comparing people to people, it's infuriating...

Thinking of Xu Jiujiu and Dugu Yan again, well, the poor Snow Princess was hit again.

She could guarantee that Xu Jiujiu would definitely break through to the Soul Emperor level before the age of twenty. A twenty-year-old Soul Emperor, in the future, would at least have Super Douluo cultivation. As for Dugu Yan, she also had the possibility of breaking through to the Soul Emperor before the age of twenty.

She was actually particularly lucky. The boundary between Extreme Poison and ordinary poison attributes was really hard to figure out, because the strongest poison-attribute soul master in the ten thousand years of history before this was the former Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. According to the results studied by Shu Yan and the Snow Empress, Dugu Yan had actually touched the category of "Extreme Poison," because the intensity of the poison she controlled now far exceeded the ordinary Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor poison, and the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor poison was already the most intense and terrifying poison in the world.

Simply put, while possessing "Extreme Poison," Dugu Yan was not affected by the disadvantage of extreme attributes affecting the soul master's cultivation speed. Her cultivation speed was no different from that of ordinary poison-attribute soul masters, which was undoubtedly great news for Dugu Yan.
