"So, the Ultimate Lightning path, is it?"
"That won't be an easy path to walk."
Hearing Yu Tianxin's ambition, Xiao Lin secretly shook his head.
The flaws that lightning-attribute soul beasts possessed were exactly the same for lightning-attribute soul masters. If one could not condense a Soul Core, the powerful lightning itself would exert immense pressure on their own Martial Soul.
"Why?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Yu Tianxin instantly grew anxious.
Could it be that this was impossible to achieve?
"It's not quite what you think," Xiao Lin said directly, seeing through the anxiety in Yu Tianxin's heart, "Generally speaking, a top-tier Martial Soul is composed of two elements. First, a powerful physical form, and second, a powerful element or some other form of power."
"For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon possesses a formidable dragon physique along with the powerful element of lightning. This is why it is universally recognized on the continent as a top-tier beast Martial Soul."
"However, even a powerful dragon Martial Soul finds it difficult to endure an even stronger form of lightning. You should be well aware of this in your heart—the more lightning you harness, the greater the backlash on your own body."
"Doesn't your clan have a member named Liu Erlong? She awakened the Fire Dragon Martial Soul but is unable to undergo Dragon Transformation. Yet, your clan calls her a positive mutation."
"This is because although the fire attribute is equally violent, its side effects are far fewer compared to the lightning attribute."
Hearing Xiao Lin's theory, Yu Tianxin became genuinely frantic.
"Then, can I only walk the same path as Yu Tianheng?"
It wasn't that Yu Tianxin was unwilling to walk the same path as Yu Tianheng, but he didn't believe Xiao Lin still had something that could transform him to that extent.
How could there possibly be another heavenly material or earthly treasure of that caliber left?
"That's not necessarily true. I happen to have a highly precious Immortal Herb here that is a perfect fit for you," Xiao Lin shook his head and said calmly.
Standing to the side, Tang San heard Xiao Lin's bluff and instinctively lowered his head, making sure Yu Tianxin and the others wouldn't notice any flaws in his expression.
What Immortal Herb!
They had run out of Immortal Herbs long ago.
Even if they had some left, their exact effects were unknown, and they certainly wouldn't just give them away carelessly. Tang San understood perfectly well that what Xiao Lin was offering was, at best, a top-grade spiritual herb, or perhaps a lower-grade ordinary spiritual herb.
It was simply that Xiao Lin possessed a deep understanding of Martial Souls, allowing him to provide the most suitable spiritual herb to achieve the maximum effect.
Just as Tang San thought, Xiao Lin's subsequent words proved exactly that.
"This Immortal Herb is called the Heaven Awakening Grass. It is a powerful Immortal Herb that can help a person awaken a second attribute. Once you consume it, your lightning attribute will shift closer to the wood attribute."
"When the time comes, if you absorb a soul ring from a soul beast like the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, your Martial Soul will undergo a qualitative change, granting you the Ultimate Lightning without ever suffering from the side effects of lightning again."
"In fact, you might even gain the cell-stimulating benefits of lightning on your physical body. If you absorb a soul beast like a ten-thousand-year Lightning-Struck Wood in the future, you might even receive a powerful enhancement to your vitality."
Xiao Lin's bluff caused Yu Tianxin's eyes to widen completely.
Ultimate Lightning—just the name alone sounded invincible. Not to mention the subsequent vitality enhancement; it was practically invincibility piled on top of invincibility.
"Once your lightning attribute undergoes this transformation, it might well be called the Lightning of Life. Your Martial Soul will also draw closer to the Azure Dragon lineage, and there will be a very high probability that your future descendants won't suffer from downward Martial Soul mutations."
Seeing Yu Tianxin utterly stunned, Xiao Lin continued to bluff and add details.
However, this wasn't entirely a lie on Xiao Lin's part. Although the Heaven Awakening Grass couldn't directly help a soul master awaken a second attribute, it could unearth a hidden attribute.
In the system of the Five Elements, lightning naturally belonged to the wood element. Furthermore, his recommendations for the perfect soul beast soul rings were the true reason Yu Tianxin would undergo a qualitative change.
The Thunder Hell Prison Vine carried the bloodline of the Thunder God, and the ten-thousand-year Lightning-Struck Wood possessed powerful vitality. These were both top-tier attributed soul beasts. No matter how one chose, it wouldn't be a mistake.
Hearing the immense benefits Yu Tianxin was about to receive, Lei Dong and Lei Tian also grew anxious.
"Xiao Lin, we can swear an oath upon our Martial Souls to follow you forever! What do you think?"
Lei Dong and Lei Tian spoke almost in unison.
Wasn't this exactly what Yu Feng and Osler had done?
But Xiao Lin didn't actually need them.
However, Tang San's future Tang Sect would definitely need people. Xiao Lin caught Tang San's eye out of the corner of his vision, noticing the look of interest on his face.
He then nodded and agreed.
"Fine. However, I don't need you to follow me. You can choose to follow Tang San; he is also a disciple of Grandmaster Xiao Yan."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Lei Dong and Lei Tian barely hesitated before decisively agreeing.
Then, before Xiao Lin could even figure out which spiritual herbs to give them, they swore an oath upon their Martial Souls. They seemed terrified that Xiao Lin and his group might back out of the deal.
In truth, this was the most correct choice they would ever make in their lives. After all, once Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect and the four single-attribute clans pledged their loyalty later on, his Tang Sect would likely no longer have room for outsiders.
"What Martial Souls do you two have?" Xiao Lin asked out of curiosity.
"Mine is the Thunder Spider. The spider type."
"Mine is the Thunder Hawk."
As Lei Dong and Lei Tian reported their Martial Souls, Xiao Lin only pondered for about three seconds before coming up with the perfect spiritual herbs for them.
"The Thunder Spider is a control-system battle soul master. Since the base form of a spider is too weak, it's clearly not suitable for you to walk a path like Ultimate Lightning. Therefore, you can only strengthen your foundations or enhance your control capabilities."
"I have an Immortal Herb called the Thunder-Veined Vine. Consuming it will elevate your perception of lightning, increase your physical resilience, and provide a similar enhancing effect to your lightning power. The Thunder Hawk is an agility-attack system battle soul master."
"For that, take the Immortal Herb called the Lightning-Glint Algae. Consuming it can enhance a soul master's 'speed of light' movement—not literal light speed, but moving so fast that observers can only catch a glimpse of a faint stream of light."
Xiao Lin immediately assigned the spiritual herbs for Lei Dong and the Thunder Hawk user.
These two spiritual herbs were actually inferior to the Yellow Essence that Yu Feng and Osler had consumed. However, because they perfectly suited lightning-attribute soul masters, the benefits they provided wouldn't be any less than what Yu Feng and Osler received.
Following Xiao Lin's bluff, Tang San put on a serious face and retrieved three spiritual herbs from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, handing them over to Yu Tianxin's trio.
Only after Yu Tianxin also swore an oath upon his Martial Soul did Tang San explain to the three how to consume the spiritual herbs. At this moment, the three of them held their respective spiritual herbs with a look of bewilderment, none of them rushing to eat.
"Absorb them now. Otherwise, it won't be good if other soul beasts catch the scent," Xiao Lin urged.
The trio decisively swallowed the spiritual herbs, then sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the medicinal efficacy of the herbs. Seeing this, Tang San smiled faintly from the side. However, a moment later, he looked at Xiao Lin with an apologetic gaze.
Tang San felt guilty because he was the one reaping almost all the benefits of this trade, while Xiao Lin gained nothing.
"It's fine," Xiao Lin said with a calm smile, noticing Tang San's gaze.
Of course he was fine. He wasn't losing out either.
Now that they had Yu Tianxin to lead the way, he could boldly ask around for dragon-type soul beasts in this area. It would be best if he could find traces of the Thunder Emperor Dragon.
Meanwhile, Tang Ni glanced at Xiao Lin from the side before shifting her gaze to Yu Tianxin.
She was looking at the Heaven Awakening Grass.
When she heard Xiao Lin mention that the Heaven Awakening Grass could trigger a second Martial Soul awakening and potentially unlock the Ultimate Fire attribute, she actually felt a surge of desire for it.
However, she already owed Xiao Lin's side far too much, making her too embarrassed to speak up.
Should I really go ask Di Tian for some Gold of Life to give to Xiao Lin?
Yet, for a supreme treasure like the Gold of Life, there was a very high probability that Di Tian would refuse her.
Besides, Xiao Lin didn't have a second Heaven Awakening Grass anyway.
