It is natural that they will not let the assistants who have been trained with great efforts run away. They are watched closely one by one and their interests are deeply tied together, making it difficult to poach them.
Even if those high-level auxiliary and healing spirit masters come to surrender, the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan is not willing to accept them! Your loyalty cannot be guaranteed, who knows what you are thinking about coming here!
For any force, the loyalty of the subordinates is the most important thing! Other things like ability, right and wrong should be put aside.
Loyalty is a question of stance and morality, while ability is a question of skills. Skills can be developed, and major forces are not short of resources; but loyalty is difficult to develop in a short period of time. It is very complex and is influenced by many factors such as family of origin, personal experience, world view, outlook on life, and values, and it is not even subject to personal will.
Choosing the wrong successor or the wrong person to train will not only waste a few resources, but will also destroy the efforts of an entire generation or even several generations of a force.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. The same is true for the development of a power. If you take one step slowly, you will slow down all the steps. If you take a wrong step, it will take decades to make up for the gap with other powers, and the losses caused will be very serious. For example, core secrets will be leaked, common resources of the power will be embezzled by private individuals, strategic deployment will be wrong, setbacks will be made, and the wrong route will be taken...
In the original time and space, the reason why the Spirit Hall failed was largely because they chose the wrong successor. Out of the many choices available, they had to choose Bibi Dong and Hu Liena as the saints.
After receiving the news from Zhuang Xingyu, Ye Nishang, the head of the Jiuxin Begonia family, urgently recalled all the family members who were away that night. They cleaned and prepared the banquet all night and were busy until dawn.
Although there was nothing unusual outside the mansion, and it looked like a normal reception for friends of the same level, the interior of the mansion had been arranged at the highest level. I'm afraid that even if Emperor Xue Ye came in person to visit, it would not be able to reach this level.
Zhuang Xingyu did not hide his whereabouts, so Emperor Xue Ye in the Tiandou Palace naturally also got the news that Zhuang Xingyu was going to the Jiuxin Haitang family.
The Jiuxin Begonia family has always cooperated with the Tiandou royal family. The Tiandou royal family provides them with a safe environment and some training resources. Ye Nishang and others are responsible for providing treatment for the Tiandou royal family.
"Oh, forget it. It's your Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan's fault for being so strong. Anyway, there can only be one successor to the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Spirit in each generation, and only two people can be alive at the same time. Even if they are the strongest healing martial spirits, they can't affect the overall situation. Since you want them, I'll give them to you." Xue Ye was very unwilling, but helpless, and could only keep comforting himself.
Today's Tiandou Empire needs the support of the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, otherwise their so-called prosperity cannot be maintained.
……
After breakfast, Zhuang Xingyu walked slowly to a mansion on the edge of the core area of Tiandou City. The yard was not big, and the surrounding area was full of crabapple flowers, which had a unique flavor. That's right, this is the residence of the Jiuxin Begonia family.
The Jiuxin Begonia family is one of the few pure healing soul master families in Douluo Continent. It has a small number of members and due to its lack of combat power, it has always been very low-key and never made enemies.
The members of the Jiuxin Haitang family usually only stayed in Tiandou City and its vicinity and rarely went out. Because they had rescued many people and had no conflicts of interest with other forces, and with the help of the Tiandou royal family, they had been free from disasters and lived a comfortable life.
Ye Nishang, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Zhuang Xingyu and hurriedly brought her daughter Ye Lengleng and all the tribesmen to pay their respects to Zhuang Xingyu.
"I am Ye Nishang and all the clansmen are here to greet you, sir!" Zhuang Xingyu came here in a private capacity this time, so Ye Nishang naturally would not claim to be the Duke of Yin-Yang Leopard of the Tiandou Empire.
"There's no need to be so polite, Patriarch Ye. I said yesterday that you can just treat it as a visit from a good friend." Zhuang Xingyu helped Ye Nishang up and looked at the Jiuxin Haitang family.
Today, Ye Nishang is the head of the Jiuxin Haitang family. Her husband died of illness 12 years ago, and she has been a widow ever since. (That is, she has never married. Unless there is a huge benefit, any sovereign power, if its controller or successor is a woman, will never marry out, and will only recruit a son-in-law. Bibi Dong is a person with a hole in his brain.)
Ye Nishang is 56 years old this year, but thanks to good maintenance and the Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit itself having the effect of beautifying the skin, she looks very young, around 30 years old, mature, and still has charm. If you don’t know her, you might think she is Ye Lengleng’s sister.
Standing next to Ye Nishang is Ye Lengleng, the second-in-command of the Nine-Hearted Begonia family. Although her soul power is not second to none in the family, she possesses the only inherited martial soul in the family, the Nine-Hearted Begonia.
As for the rest, there are only 31 soul masters in the Nine Heart Begonia family, 27 of whom are auxiliary or healing, and the rest of the combat system are below Soul King. In addition, there are only 4 family-born soul masters below Soul Sect. The one with the highest soul power in the family is: Level 72 Seven Ring Soul Saint, the clan leader Ye Nishang. It can be said that the family is in a very bad state.
After the group entered the inner court, Zhuang Xingyu sat in the main seat and the two sides began some meaningless conversations.
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhuang Xingyu stopped arguing and said directly: "Patriarch Ye, I am a straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush. I came here this time because I hope that your Nine Heart Begonia family will belong to my Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. I can give you everything that the Tiandou Royal Family can give you; I can also give you what the Tiandou Royal Family cannot give you, such as the martial spirit of your family. I wonder if Patriarch Ye agrees?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nishang stood up excitedly, her whole body trembling, and asked in disbelief: "Sir, are you telling the truth? Can you really solve the problem of my clan's martial spirit?"
"Of course it's true. There's no need for me to lie to you. Why, you don't believe me?"
"No, no, I absolutely believe you. I agree, I agree on behalf of the Nine Heart Begonia family. I, Ye Nishang, swear on my martial spirit today that from now on, the entire Nine Heart Begonia family belongs to the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Family and will serve the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Family wholeheartedly. Everything will be based on the requirements of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Family as the highest criterion. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by five thunders, your martial spirits will be shattered, and the entire family will die!"
Ye Nishang knelt on her knees and swore a decisive oath to express her determination to surrender.
The rest of the Nine Heart Begonia family also knelt down with the clan leader Ye Nishang to express their submission. Ye Nishang was the soul of the Nine Heart Begonia family. The entire family depended on her alone. Without her, there would be no Nine Heart Begonia family. Her choice could represent the choice of everyone in the family.
Then, Ye Nishang took out the family's highest token: the Nine-Hearted Begonia Token, "Master Young Supreme, this is the highest token of our clan. It was left by the first generation patriarch of our clan. It is also the symbol of the patriarch of our clan. Please accept it!"
Ye Nishang had no choice but to submit to the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, no matter whether what Zhuang Xingyu said was true or false.
Come to think of it, Zhuang Xingyu is the young patriarch of the Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, the successor to the world's number one sect. There are many Titled Douluo in his clan, including a lot of Soul Douluo. He comes to your Soul Saint family, a healing family, in person, talks to you politely, and even promises you huge benefits. If you dare to refuse and lose face for him, it means he doesn't want to live anymore.
Even if the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan will not bully the weak, those forces in Tiandou City that want to please the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan will not sit idle and will definitely suppress the Jiuxin Begonia Family. Even the Tiandou Royal Family dare not cooperate with the Jiuxin Begonia Family anymore.
Zhuang Xingyu took the Nine-Heart Begonia Order, stepped forward and helped Ye Nishang up with both hands, "Hahaha! Great! Patriarch Ye is straightforward, I like straightforward people like you! Don't worry, what I just said absolutely counts, I can solve your family's martial spirit problem permanently now!"
Since the other party is so grateful, Zhuang Xingyu doesn't suggest giving them more benefits.
Zhuang Xingyu took out a pill, which he made with the ten thousand year old ninth grade ginseng king, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which he had snatched from the Min clan. It was named: [Nine Hearts Ginseng Pill].
"This elixir is called: Nine Hearts Pure Ginseng Pill! This is a divine elixir that our clan has obtained at a huge cost. It is very compatible with the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul. After taking it, it can not only break the shortcomings of your Martial Soul, but there is even a lot of hope that the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul can evolve!"
"From now on, you no longer have to suffer the pain of your loved ones' early death. You can bring out the true charm of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, the strongest healing Martial Soul in the entire Douluo Continent. You can also snatch back the glory that belongs to you from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and let the name of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul resound throughout the continent, rather than being unknown as it is now!"
Zhuang Xingyu put the pill in Ye Nishang's hand, not afraid that the other party would take the benefit and not do the job, that was totally impossible. No one in the Douluo Continent could get Zhuang Xingyu's things for free.
Ye Nishang felt the powerful medicinal power coming from the Nine-Hearted Ginseng Pill. The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Spirits of her and her daughter Ye Lengleng all manifested automatically and uncontrollably, emitting a strange light that had never been seen before. The petals swayed, and the fragrance filled the entire courtyard.
Ye Nishang hurriedly placed the Nine-Hearted Ginseng Pill on the table. Her hands kept shaking, and she was afraid that if she took the pill away, she would accidentally drop it. Then she, Ye Nishang, would be the sinner of the entire family.
She stared at the pill in front of her in disbelief. She never imagined that this bean-sized pill could actually solve the curse that had plagued her entire family for tens of thousands of years.
But it was obvious that Zhuang Xingyu did not lie to her. The reaction of the martial soul could not be faked. The Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul only felt a few breaths of the Nine-Hearted Ginseng Pill, and it showed unprecedented vitality and vitality. The Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul was very eager for this pill. The Nine-Hearted Ginseng Pill could indeed solve the shortcomings of the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul.
"I thank you, Young Supreme Lord. Thank you for giving me such a precious treasure. I, I really don't know how to thank you for your gift! Thank you, Young Supreme Lord, thank you, Young Supreme Lord!"
Ye Nishang knelt down again, sobbing and expressing her gratitude. The Nine Heart Begonia clan members beside her were also excited and in tears. The family's pursuit of tens of thousands of years could be realized today. Their family was about to take off! As long as they followed the steps of the young supreme master, it would not be difficult to restore the power of the Nine Heart Begonia clan, one of the three major sects in the past.
Zhuang Xingyu waved his hand, indicating that Ye Nishang and the others did not need to kneel down to express their gratitude. "Don't act like a little girl. If you really want to thank me, do more practical things and contribute to our clan! I will keep my word. Since I promised to help your Nine Heart Begonia family solve the martial spirit problem, I will definitely help you solve it!"
"My Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan treats its subordinates with great care and consideration. Solving your martial spirit problem now is just the beginning. As long as you sincerely pledge allegiance to my clan in the future, you will receive more benefits in the future! However, I have to say this in advance. My clan hates traitors the most. Anyone who dares to betray me will die... definitely a million times more painful than you can imagine!"
"I will obey the orders of the Young Supreme and contribute to the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan with all my heart and at all costs! If anyone dares to do anything to let down the upper clan, I, Ye Nishang, will kill them at the risk of my life!"
Ye Nishang expressed her loyalty again, and then asked Zhuang Xingyu for instructions:
"Master Young Supreme, can I give this magic pill to my daughter? I am old, and it would be a waste for me to take such a magic pill. Leng Leng is younger, has better talent, and has a higher chance of evolving her martial spirit than me. After taking the pill, her future limit will be much higher than mine, and she will be able to make more contributions to the upper clan."
Zhuang Xingyu nodded in agreement. "Since I have given you this pill, as long as you don't pass it on to others, you can distribute it freely without asking for my permission."
Chapter 153 The Evolution of Nine-Hearted Begonia
Ye Nishang's proposal was exactly what Zhuang Xingyu wanted.
Any force that wants to prosper for a long time must have a sound spirit master system, which needs to be developed comprehensively without any shortcomings, otherwise those shortcomings will stab you in the back at a critical moment. Just like the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, almost all the direct descendants are auxiliary, and they can never become the world's number one sect. Even if they have a brief glory, it will only be short-lived.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul is an important part of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan's perfect soul master structure. In the future, it will be the most core component of the family's healing and auxiliary systems. It is related to the family's future prosperity and long-term stability, and must not be lost.
In order to better control the Nine-Hearted Begonia family, it is not enough to simply recruit them as a subordinate force. The best way is to assimilate them, let the Nine-Hearted Begonia completely integrate into the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, and let them identify from the bottom of their hearts that they are members of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, rather than members of the Nine-Hearted Begonia family.
It is very difficult to change the contemporary people of the Jiuxin Haitang family. Besides, there are only dozens of them, and they are not qualified for Zhuang Xingyu to spend time and effort to educate them ideologically.
The best way is to directly train the next generation.
Zhuang Xingyu accepted Ye Lengleng as his woman, and the two sides entered into a marriage for the benefit of the people. The child born would have the surname Zhuang, and in the future, the owner of the Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit would be the descendant of Zhuang Xingyu. At that time, the Nine-Hearted Begonia family could be completely integrated into the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, and there would not be any distractions at all.
As for talking about love, we can talk about it later! The saying that love grows over time is very reasonable. A real man should be able to take power when he is awake and sleep on the lap of a beauty when he is drunk!
What is the purpose of practicing hard? Before Zhuang Xingyu had strength, he could not enjoy anything, which was fine; if Zhuang Xingyu could not enjoy anything after he had strength, then what was the difference between practicing and not practicing? What was the value of practicing hard! Wouldn't Zhuang Xingyu's practice be in vain?
Zhuang Xingyu is not a saint or a nanny. Whoever wants to be a lapdog can do so. Zhuang Xingyu will not be one.
Therefore, before completely assimilating the Nine-Hearted Begonia family, Zhuang Xingyu would not let Ye Nishang break the disadvantages of her martial soul, nor would he allow her to remarry. It would be enough to let Ye Lengleng break the disadvantages of her martial soul.
Because compared to the price that the Jiuxin Haitang family paid for surrendering to the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, the benefits that the Jiuxin Haitang family gained from Zhuang Xingyu far exceeded these costs!
Besides, Zhuang Xingyu values the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul and wants this gene, not your Ye family. Your Ye family is not very powerful. The bright future of the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul mentioned above is all based on the cultivation of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. Without Zhuang Xingyu's cultivation, your Nine-Heart Begonia family will inevitably be as unknown as in the original time and space, and eventually disappear among ordinary people and disappear in the long river of history.
At this moment, Ye Nishang persuaded her daughter Ye Lengleng to absorb the Nine-Heart Ginseng Pill.
“No, no, no, mother, you should absorb it! Your soul power is higher, and you will be able to absorb it as quickly as possible…”
Ye Nishang interrupted her daughter's excuses and tightly grasped the pill in her daughter's hand, "Leng Leng, be obedient, stop making excuses. There is no difference between us mother and daughter. It doesn't matter whether you absorb it or I absorb it. You are younger and have better talent. You can exert the effect of the magic pill to a greater extent. Only in this way can you be worthy of the gift of the Young Supreme Lord, better serve the upper clan, and live up to the expectations of the ancestors and clan members!"
"Hurry up, be obedient! You have to listen to your mother." Ye Nishang's tone was a little urgent. She and her mother had already been procrastinating here for a lot of time. She was worried that if she wasted any more time, it would cause Zhuang Xingyu to dislike her, and that would be counterproductive.
Ye Lengleng finally took the Nine-Heart Ginseng Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and began to absorb it.
The Nine Hearts Ginseng Pill melted in his mouth and turned into pure spiritual power. At the moment when the pill was in his mouth, Ye Lengleng's martial soul shook violently, and the nine-color light enveloped the other party.
The martial spirits of all the auxiliary and healing spirit masters of the Ye family around them automatically appeared and pointed in the direction of Ye Lengleng as if on pilgrimage.
A huge pink crabapple flower was quietly suspended in front of Ye Lengleng. Every time the nine-colored light flashed, a layer of energy waves would pass over the crabapple petals from the inside out, causing the petals to continue growing.
As the petals continued to grow, drops of nectar were secreted from the core of the Nine-Hearted Begonia. The nectar drops were absorbed by the martial soul. With each drop absorbed, the number of petals increased, and the color changed from pink to nine colors.
In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, and a total of twelve drops of nectar dripped, and the core of the flower stopped secreting. The crabapple flower, which originally had only nine petals, now increased to twenty-one.
The range of the nine-colored golden light continued to shrink and finally disappeared between Ye Lengleng's eyebrows. The precious light flowed, as if a goddess had descended to the earth. The rich fragrance of crabapple flowers emanated from her body, attracting butterflies, bees and other flower-collecting insects from miles around the mansion.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit has completed its final evolution! Previously, although the Nine-Hearted Begonia overwhelmed the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and was known as the strongest healing martial spirit in the entire continent, that was only a comparison of single-target healing. If we consider the number of martial spirits, continuity, stability and other factors, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower is still far stronger than the Nine-Hearted Begonia. But now it is no exaggeration to say that no matter how you compare it, the evolved Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit is far superior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower martial spirit, even the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower cannot match it.
Although only the disadvantages of Ye Lengleng's martial soul disappeared, the rest of the Ye family also gained a lot of benefits. All the owners of the Ye family bloodline felt a sense of relief in the depths of their souls, and the inexplicable pressure in the past suddenly disappeared.
It’s like a creature carrying a huge amount of karma suddenly gains a lot of merit, and the dry soil finally welcomes the long-awaited sweet spring water.
Ye Nishang and the others were afraid of disturbing Ye Lengleng, so they dared not express their inner joy loudly. They could only keep thanking Zhuang Xingyu, and the last trace of concern in their hearts disappeared.
Ye Lengleng was still practicing cross-legged, feeling the tremendous changes brought about by the evolution of his martial soul, level 37, level 38... level 40, his soul power soared directly from level 37 to level 40. Moreover, the excess medicinal power of the Nine Hearts Ginseng Pill was lurking deep in his meridians. After obtaining the fourth soul ring, his soul power would also grow. If nothing unexpected happened, in the Elite Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Continent one year later, Ye Lengleng's soul power would be able to reach the level of Advanced Soul King!
Ye Lengleng blinked her beautiful eyebrows and slowly opened her eyes.
Ye Nishang and her clansmen were watching Ye Lengleng's every move closely. When they saw Ye Lengleng wake up, they asked nervously, wanting to confirm once again, "Lengleng, how do you feel? Did you succeed? The drawbacks in your martial arts spirit have disappeared, right?" Although they had personally felt the changes in their bodies, they were still afraid that they were living in a dream.
Chapter 154 Ye Leng Leng throws himself into her arms
Upon hearing this, Ye Lengleng carefully examined the changes in his body. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked and his worldview was refreshed.
He didn't care about the noble etiquette and shouted happily, "9 petals, 10 petals, 11 petals... 21 petals! The number of petals of the crabapple flower has increased! The color has also changed from a single pink to nine colors. It has evolved, the martial soul has really evolved! The soul power has increased from level 37 to level 40 in an instant, and I can feel that the disadvantages of the martial soul have completely disappeared!"
The huge stone that had been suppressing Ye Lengleng's heart for many years finally dissipated. She rarely smiled, looking charming and beautiful.
After getting the second confirmation, Ye Nishang and others were so happy that they prostrated themselves and thanked Zhuang Xingyu once again.
Ye Lengleng also followed suit and thanked Zhuang Xingyu, "Thank you very much, Young Supreme. I have no way to repay you. The only way I can show my gratitude is to work like a slave for you all my life!"
Ye Lengleng muttered softly, his voice was barely audible, and the voice became quieter as he went on. No one knew what unhealthy things he was thinking about. He was clearly cheering just a moment ago, but now he was so shy that he couldn't speak.
"Haha, I'm glad that you're so kind. You can repay me in the future. I'm also very happy to see your strength grow." Zhuang Xingyu smiled and helped Ye Lengleng up.
"Your Excellency Young Supreme, I have a favor to trouble you with. Now that Leng Leng's martial soul has evolved, the original name of the martial soul is no longer worthy of the new martial soul after the evolution. I dare to ask you to give it a new martial soul name." Ye Nishang asked Zhuang Xingyu very emotionally.
"Well, that's right. Everything is a new beginning, and a new name is indeed needed. But I really like the words 'Nine-Hearted Begonia', because I once had an idol who loved begonias. These words have also been passed down in your family for nearly ten thousand years. It would be a pity to change them, so let's keep these words. The new martial soul name will be [Nine-Hearted Begonia Emperor]!" Zhuang Xingyu thought for a moment and gave a new name.
"Thank you, Young Supreme, for the name! The Nine-Hearted Begonia Emperor martial soul, what a good name, what a good name. From now on, my new martial soul will be called the Nine-Hearted Begonia Emperor!" Ye Lengleng agreed very much.
Ye Nishang asked Zhuang Xingyu, "Master Young Supreme, when is the right time for our tribe to move to Beiyuan? I haven't been there yet, and I really want to go there to admire and live. A place that can give birth to a genius like you must be blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. My entire tribe and I really want to live there!"
"You can prepare now. After the 3,500-year celebration of the Tiandou Empire is over, follow our team to Beiyuan. As for your residence, it will be at the west bay of the Jidao Yinyangbao River. There is a medicinal field of our tribe nearby, where many precious medicines are planted. The environment is very suitable for your cultivation. The effect of opening the mimic training ground is two to three times that of an ordinary training ground!"
