Shu Yan's mood was not pleasant on this pleasant afternoon.
On the recliner beside Shu Yan, an old woman with a kind face appeared at some point. The old woman's hair had turned white, and her face was covered with wrinkles, making it difficult to guess her actual age. At the same time, her identity was also very special.
She was the Vice Hall Master of Star Luo Royal Consecration Hall, Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er, a ninety-fifth level Super Douluo of the healing system. It was said that she was of the same generation as Mu En and the others, and she had survived to this day by virtue of the characteristics of her own Martial Soul.
Shu Yan was no stranger to Medical Immortal Douluo. From a young age, he had often fought against experts who were a major level higher than him, often ending up covered in injuries. Medical Immortal Douluo's residence became a place he frequented. Over time, the two became familiar with each other. Medical Immortal Douluo doted on him like a grandson, and the two had a very good relationship.
Seeing Shu Yan noticing the abnormality and struggling to get up, Medical Immortal Douluo sized up Shu Yan's injuries and said with a chuckle:
"It seems that he didn't hold back. I really don't know what kind of bastard thing you did this time that made him so angry…"
As she spoke, Medical Immortal Douluo slowly raised a thin hand, and a faint green light transformed into a light cover, enveloping Shu Yan. Before long, Shu Yan felt that the pain all over his body had disappeared completely, and even his energy and Spirit had returned to their peak state.
Shu Yan was not surprised. He moved his muscles and bones all over his body, and a series of crackling sounds rang out. Then, Shu Yan jumped off the bed and looked at Medical Immortal Douluo and said softly:
"I've troubled you again, Medical Immortal Granny…"
Medical Immortal Douluo waved her hand, her body slightly hunched as she leaned on her crutches. She looked at Shu Yan's current appearance and sighed:
"The little brat has grown up. In a few years, the burden of protecting the Empire will be on your shoulders. This old woman's life can be considered complete…"
Shu Yan smiled wryly. He continued:
"Medical Immortal Granny, you won't die. Believe me, Mu En and the others who are of your generation haven't passed away yet. How can you leave first?"
Medical Immortal Douluo glanced at Shu Yan with a slightly surprised look, then shook her head and smiled, and said softly:
"You little fellow knows quite a lot, but a person's life is determined by fate. This old woman has been lucky to live for so long with a cultivation level of ninety-five. I have no regrets."
Shu Yan didn't say anything more, but hurriedly helped Medical Immortal Douluo to sit down on a recliner covered with soft fur, and poured a cup of hot tea for the old woman before continuing:
"You watched me grow up, and you're leaving before I can repay you. You may accept this, but I, as your junior, cannot."
Medical Immortal Douluo chuckled and remained silent, only changing the subject:
"I have learned from His Majesty about your cooperation with monster beasts. Little fellow, you are very courageous, even more daring than Mu En and Long Xiaoyao when they were young. This is the first cooperation between humans and Soul Beasts on the Continent. Whether it succeeds or not, it is of milestone significance…"
Shu Yan looked at Medical Immortal Douluo and suddenly asked:
"Do you approve of my choice?"
Hearing this, Medical Immortal Douluo opened her eyelids and glanced at Shu Yan before saying softly:
"That's not important. It's good to know whether you have a foundation yourself. Other people's views and opinions are just reference items, not enough to change the outcome."
Shu Yan was stunned, and then his heart instantly became clear. The faint mist that had been there suddenly dissipated, and he saw the light of day in an instant.
"To be honest, when I heard that you had persuaded the Ice and Snow Two Emperors, I was initially skeptical and worried, but later I learned about your common goal, and I was relieved. If your goal is that realm, this old woman is willing to believe you once. After all, once successful, it would be subversive for the entire Douluo Continent, and it's worth a gamble… …"
Medical Immortal Douluo's tone was very gentle. She was as kind as ever, at least in front of Shu Yan.
Shu Yan leaned back on the chair beside him. By the time he came back to his senses, Medical Immortal Douluo's figure had disappeared without a trace. Speaking of which, how could a Super Douluo with a top-level healing Martial Soul be so old that she couldn't even complete her own actions? It could only be said that it was a matter of whether she wanted to or not.
Not long after Medical Immortal Douluo left, Xu Jiujiu pushed the door open and walked in. There was a hint of coldness on her face, but her eyes held hidden concern and a trace of worry. Women, that's what they look like after being jealous. Their mouths and everything else are hard. Of course, if they're not soft-hearted, then you have to look for the problem… …
Seeing Shu Yan alive and kicking, Xu Jiujiu snorted coldly, and then said:
"How is it? Ice Empress-jie's head feels good to touch, right? Do you want to do it again?"
The corners of Shu Yan's mouth twitched, and then he reached out and pulled her into his arms before Xu Jiujiu could even react, and rubbed her pretty hair ornaments.
"If you want me to say, your head is still better to touch than Jiu Jiu's…"
Xu Jiujiu slapped Shu Yan's hand away, glared at Shu Yan resentfully, and then took out a delicate small mirror from her Soul Guidance Device Master to check her hair ornaments.
"You should be careful in the future. You're not allowed to be so impudent anymore. If you dare to mess around again, I'll have Grandma Xingyun drag you to the cleansing room*! I'll turn you into a real Little Shu, and then I'll have you serve this Princess every day for bathing and sleeping. You should know how tormenting it is to only be able to look but not eat… …"
Shu Yan swallowed, and just thinking about that scene made his scalp tingle. In the end, he just sighed helplessly.
At first, Xu Jiujiu was the one who accommodated him, but how did it become like this now… …
Forget it, that's normal. It's very basic for girls to want to be coaxed and pampered. Shu Yan felt that he might have really taken on the role of "kept man by the Princess". It felt… pretty good?
After playing around with Xu Jiujiu for a while, Shu Yan was able to settle down. He looked at the golden-haired girl who was lazily leaning in his arms, and then said softly:
"I need to do something troublesome recently, and I may need your help, Jiu Jiu. How about it, my Princess? Show me some support?"
Xu Jiujiu rolled her beautiful eyes, and then said:
"Tell me, as long as it's within my ability, I will definitely do my best to help you. If it really doesn't work, isn't there still Imperial Brother… …"
Shu Yan smiled, a gleam appearing in his eyes. Immediately, he said:
"I need to make an eight-ring Soul Guidance Device Master. The finished product doesn't need to be too exquisite, as long as it can be used. So, I also need my Princess to introduce me to a few high-level Soul Guidance Device Masters of the Empire…"
As for why he wasn't making a nine-ring Soul Guidance Device Master, the reason was very simple. The Original Douluo Three Kingdoms didn't have a Nine-Level Soul Guider at all. The highest was only eight and a half rings.
Xu Jiujiu was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, she said:
"That's not difficult. I'll take you to see Old Han tomorrow. He is now the number one Soul Guidance Device Master of the Empire, and also an old generation expert who has stayed at the Title Douluo level for more than twenty years. However, A'Yan, I want to know, what exactly are you going to use such a high-level Soul Guidance Device Master for… …"
Shu Yan smiled mysteriously, only looking at Xu Jiujiu quietly, without saying anything more…
To attract that person's attention, Shu Yan had imagined many methods, such as powerful spiritual, light, or evil attributes, or even creating a huge mental power fluctuation like in the original work, or even directly using Living Gold. But after careful consideration, he still prepared to try the most stable method.
He couldn't find a powerful and suitable spiritual attribute Soul Master now, and there were no suitable candidates for the other "primers". Compared with this, borrowing the power of Soul Guidance Device Masters was a very cost-effective choice, and he happened to have suitable raw materials on hand.
At the same time, he also had longer-term decisions and considerations in doing so, but now, it was indeed a bit early to say these things.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk one step at a time. This matter is really important, and you really can't rush it at all… …
… …
PS: Happy National Day, everyone!!!
It's a new month, and I was in a good mood at first, but when I thought about having to code, my mood suddenly plummeted and I couldn't get up… …
Secondly, this chapter can also be regarded as a foreshadowing. Don't think that it's superfluous or anything. If you want to attract Iliex, you either have to wait until the original plot starts, or you can only start thinking of ways yourself. Anyway, the author doesn't think it's necessary to wait until the plot starts. After all, there are still several years left. If there are conditions, it's better for the protagonist to handle it himself. After all, time is money. It's always good to get Iliex early. It's actually more comfortable to write bit by bit… …
As for the follow-up, I plan to start with this Soul Guidance Device Master and Undead Demiplane, as well as Iliex's own abilities, and see if I can integrate them into something similar to a god-level Soul Guidance Device Master in the later stage (similar to a portable small World?). Cultivate a group of unconscious and powerful death beings inside for the protagonist to use as thugs. No matter what, its role must be stronger, more numerous, and easier to use than the original Undead Demiplane.
Of course, I have only written a small part of the outline for this for the time being. The follow-up plot and lines will definitely be much richer than what I am saying now. What exactly it will be depends on the brain hole problem… …
Let's read it first. You can raise the book, but I still hope that everyone can kill a wave every Tuesday. After all, the PK on Tuesday determines whether the book can be pushed… … I'm asking everyone here!
