NOVEL NEXT Chapter 46: Chapter 46: The Nine Heart Begonia of the Ye Family and Lu Yunzhou's Purpose
In preparation for these matters, Lu Yunzhou had spent a great deal of time, effort, and thought.
Finally, after a full three days, he had successfully prepared everything!
"Mr. Lu, may I ask, what are these two statues?"
Qian Renxue cautiously inquired, her gaze full of obvious confusion and curiosity.
In response to her question, Lu Yunzhou answered, "These two statues represent the Eastern Emperor and the Jade Pool Holy Mother."
"The Eastern Emperor? The Jade Pool Holy Mother?"
Hearing these unfamiliar names, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel curious.
Before she could ask further, Lu Yunzhou, ever perceptive, explained the general details about these two statues.
He spoke solemnly, "Dressed in blue, entering the heavenly gate, bowing to the Golden Mother and the Wood Prince."
"In simple terms, when a cultivator ascends to immortality, they must first bow to the Wood Prince before meeting the Golden Mother, then proceed to worship the Three Pure Ones — Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Lingbao Daojun — before finally meeting the Heavenly Emperor."
"These two statues represent the Wood Prince and the Golden Mother, or rather, the Eastern Emperor and the Jade Pool Holy Mother."
"From now on, any ordinary person or Soul Master who becomes a cultivator must come here and pay respects to these two sages, hoping for a favorable omen."
Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's explanation, the intelligent Qian Renxue quickly deduced that the other three statues must represent Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Lingbao Daojun.
Just as Qian Renxue was examining the statues, Lu Yunzhou suddenly invited her, saying, "How about we go to the Ye family next?"
At his words, Qian Renxue, disguised as the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, paused in surprise. "The Ye family? The Nine Heart Begonia Ye family?"
"Yes."
After receiving Lu Yunzhou's confirmation, Qian Renxue immediately responded, "It would be an honor to accompany you!"
Though Qian Renxue didn't know why Lu Yunzhou wanted to visit the Nine Heart Begonia Ye family, she knew she had to follow him. After all, what if Lu Yunzhou got taken away by someone else?
And so, Qian Renxue followed Lu Yunzhou to the renowned Nine-Heart Begonia Ye family.
Lu Yunzhou had three main goals for visiting today: First, to help Ye Lingling resolve her Martial Soul issue.
Second, to create the second cultivator in the Douluo Continent. Third, to bring the Ye family under his influence!
While the Ye family may not have many core members, their network of relationships on the entire continent was among the top, given that no one dared offend healing-type Soul Masters.
Moreover, the Ye family was a leader among healing-type Soul Masters.
Therefore, in the current Douluo Continent, the Ye family maintained good relations with most of the major factions.
If Lu Yunzhou could win the Ye family over, it would grant him powerful allies, a relationship not to be underestimated.
As such, his primary goal during this visit was to win the Ye family over and add them to his forces.
Having been informed early on about Lu Yunzhou's purpose for the visit, Ye Lingling and her mother, Ye Qingcheng, had prepared to receive him.
As for Ye Lingling's father, it was said that he died at the hands of a soul beast many years ago. Hence, the current head of the Ye family was Ye Qingcheng.
From her precious daughter's account, Ye Qingcheng had learned about Lu Yunzhou's formidable strength and terrifying capabilities.
A cultivator, Lu Yunzhou had controlled four Titled Douluo to force a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape to offer a sacrifice, captured a 100,000-year transforming soul beast, the Soft-Bone Charm Rabbit, and used a 100,000-year soul beast, the Sky Azure Bull Python, to upgrade his Martial Soul!
If it weren't for hearing this from her brilliant and mentally sound daughter, Ye Qingcheng would have thought such talk was nothing but madness and nonsense.
After all, even one of these feats, if true, could shake the entire Soul Master world!
At the same time, hearing these words from her daughter, Ye Qingcheng found herself taking them more seriously. If anyone else had said such things, she would have dismissed it as a joke.
"Is his strength, methods, and abilities really as terrifying as Lingling said?"
As she pondered this question, Ye Qingcheng, who looked nearly
identical to Ye Lingling, spotted the luxurious carriage approaching in the distance.
"He and the Crown Prince are together?" Ye Qingcheng muttered in surprise as she noticed that the carriage was drawn by eight horses.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, the emperor traveled with nine horses, the Crown Prince with eight, kings of various kingdoms had seven, while the sons of nobles had six, and princes five.
Seeing the eight horses pulling the luxurious carriage, Ye Qingcheng realized that Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince, was traveling with Lu Yunzhou.
"Welcome, Crown Prince, Mr. Lu."
As the carriage came to a stop, Ye Qingcheng, wearing a palace gown, respectfully greeted them.
After Ye Qingcheng spoke, Xue Qinghe disembarked from the carriage, followed closely by Lu Yunzhou.
"Mr. Lu, please be careful." After getting off the carriage, Xue Qinghe immediately turned to support Lu Yunzhou, signaling to Ye Qingcheng who was in charge.
"Seeing the Crown Prince's respect, it seems this Lu Yunzhou is truly extraordinary," Ye Qingcheng thought to herself, her respect and reverence for Lu Yunzhou growing even more.
Soon, Ye Qingcheng invited Lu Yunzhou and Xue Qinghe into the Ye family estate.
Ye Lingling, aware of the situation, quickly dismissed the servants and personally welcomed Lu Yunzhou and Xue Qinghe, giving them a great deal of face.
Inside the Ye family's reception hall, Lu Yunzhou and Ye Qingcheng took the two main seats, with Xue Qinghe sitting on the left, though it seemed a bit awkward.
Lu Yunzhou, always direct and decisive, wasted no time and got straight to the point.
"Madam Ye, I have come today to fulfill an old promise I made with your daughter."
He spoke with utmost seriousness. "Regarding the limitations of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, I can indeed solve it. But… I have a condition."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng, with a smile, immediately replied, "Mr. Lu, if you can truly resolve this issue, then even if you have ten conditions, we will agree to them!"
Resolving the issue of the Ye family's Martial Soul limitation was a dream and lifelong aspiration for every member of the family.
For this reason, Ye Qingcheng would be willing to fulfill even ten or a hundred conditions to make it happen.
On the side, "Xue Qinghe" couldn't help but think to himself:
"The unique characteristics of the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul have persisted for countless generations, and countless people have tried and failed to solve this problem."
"I wonder if this Lu Yunzhou… will succeed where others have failed."
