[We are finally heading back. This trip to the Sunset Forest was incredibly fruitful, perhaps even exceeding expectations.]
[Not only did I completely detoxify Dugu Bo, that Old Poison, but I also helped Sister Yanyan complete her Spirit evolution.]
[While I was there, I also took the opportunity to use that precious location to refine a few batches of Medicinal Pills for myself.]
[I have to say, the Medicinal Pills refined using the nine dragons departing fire furnace combined with the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have incredibly explosive effects.]
[Not only has my spirit power achieved a Breakthrough to Level 30, but I also managed to hunt a thirty-thousand-year-old mutated Golden-Eyed Blood Lion.]
[Now, I am a Level 36 Spirit Elder!]
[Moreover, I received an unexpected bonus: an external Spirit Bone, the destruction golden pupils!]
[This is second only to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone, possessing innate armor-piercing and mental attack capabilities—it is simply a Divine Artifact for ambushing people in this era.]
[Tsk tsk, if Qin Ming, that "Genius" with only a thousand-year fifth ring, knew that my third ring was thirty thousand years old, I wonder what he would think?]
Writing up to this point, Lin Yuan paused, a gentle smile playing on the corner of his mouth, and continued to write:
[Of course, I haven't forgotten the few beauties back at the academy.]
[I have also finished refining the Medicinal Pill for Xiao Wu. Once she absorbs it, her cultivation and talent will surely see a significant improvement.]
[Rongrong's "rose treant" Medicinal Pill is also ready. After consuming it, her Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can transform into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.]
[And there is Ye Lengleng. The "Nine Nether Soul-Returning Grass" I gave her is top-grade; perhaps it can break the curse of her Nine Heart Begonia lineage being single-inherited.]
...As the diary content was updated, the chat group, visible only to the girls, immediately exploded.
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Wow! Lin Yuan is too kind! He actually prepared a gift for me!]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: rose treant? It can turn the Eight Treasures into Nine Treasures? Heavens! If this is true, my father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Gu will all go crazy!]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: I swore before that if anyone could help my Spirit Breakthrough its limitations, I would marry him. Lin Yuan's talent is so good, surely my father and grandfathers would agree, right?]
[Nine Hearts:...Break the curse?]
[Nine Hearts: If it truly can... Lin Yuan, I will agree to whatever you ask.]
Although Ye Lengleng was usually quiet, seeing this diary entry made her purse her lips in excitement.
Although the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit is powerful, only a maximum of two people can possess it in each generation, which is the eternal pain of their Family.
If Lin Yuan could truly solve this... he would be the Family's savior!
The words spoken by Ning Rongrong and Ye Lengleng also put Xiao Wu on alert.
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: That won't do. Lin Yuan is mine, we must abide by the rule of first come, first served.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Hehe, Xiao Wu, don't be jealous. In love, there's no such thing as first come, first served. Besides, look how strong Lin Yuan is; the strong are qualified to have multiple women.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Look at my father; he has countless concubines. To me, this is quite normal.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Furthermore, aren't you Lin Yuan's sworn sister right now? How can you have improper thoughts about him?]
Ning Rongrong said this in the chat group, revealing a sly smile.
Her words immediately left Xiao Wu speechless.
It infuriated her!
However, just as everyone was immersed in surprise.
Dugu Yan, who was sitting in the carriage and lurking in the chat, looked at the contents of the diary and pouted helplessly.
"This idiot..."
"Why did he write everything out?"
"I originally wanted to go back and give them a huge surprise, and show off a bit while I was at it."
"Now look, everything has been spoiled."
Dugu Yan's eyes darted around. Since the "surprise" was gone, she could only show off her achievements.
So, she sent a message in the group:
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Oh dear, since Brother Lin Yuan has already mentioned it, I won't keep it a secret anymore.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Thanks to the Medicinal Pill refined by Lin Yuan this time, my Spirit is no longer the Jade Phosphor Serpent.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl:??? Not a snake? What is it then? Mutated into a lizard?]
Ning Rongrong made a small joke.
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Get lost! It's a Dragon! My Spirit has undergone an ancestral regression phenomenon and is evolving towards the "Jade Phosphor Dragon King"!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: And my spirit power has also reached Level 38, and my Spirit has already grown Dragon horns!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: So, to repay Brother Lin Yuan, I gave him a kiss. Hehe, so your previous arguing was useless; I got to him first!]
All the girls:!!!
Subsequently, Dugu Yan was besieged and condemned by the girls in the chat group for sneaking a move while spending a month with Lin Yuan!
...Meanwhile.
Nuoding City, deep in the night.
A figure like Gui Mei, draped in an old black robe, silently infiltrated the Nuoding Elementary Spirit Master Academy.
It was none other than Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had been gone for over a year.
During the time he left Nuoding City, he had been searching for the Spirit Hall personnel who participated in the Spirit Hunting Operation back then.
He intended to take revenge for the grudges of that year, one by one!
Tonight, he finally returned for a visit. He didn't believe that after so much time, a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall would still linger in this small Nuoding City.
"Creak—"
The door to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's room was pushed open.
Yu Xiaogang, who was studying Spirit theory under the lamp and contemplating how to train Tang San, suddenly looked up. Seeing the scruffy figure radiating a terrifying aura, he quickly stood up.
"Your Excellency Haotian? You've returned?"
Tang Hao nodded expressionlessly, walked straight to a chair, and sat down. His voice was hoarse and deep: "Grandmaster, long time no see."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tang Hao's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, staring intently at Yu Xiaogang:
"Back then, my whereabouts were discovered by Spirit Hall, leading to me being besieged by three Titled Douluo."
"This matter, was it you who leaked the information?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, and he immediately showed a bitter smile.
He did not avoid Tang Hao's gaze and stated frankly: "Your Excellency, I know you have doubts, but consider this: Little San is now my direct Disciple, the sole practitioner of my theory."
"I treat him as my own son, so how could I possibly harm his father?"
Tang Hao stared at Yu Xiaogang for a long time.
As a Titled Douluo, having met countless people, he could naturally see the sincerity in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
After a long while, he withdrew his gaze, and the killing intent in his eyes dissipated.
"I believe you. It seems that what happened back then might truly have been a coincidence."
"Or perhaps Spirit Hall's dog noses are simply too sharp."
Having resolved the knot in his heart, Tang Hao naturally shifted the topic to the son he cared about most.
"How has Little San been lately? Is his Cultivation going smoothly?"
...
