Chapter 12 Shock! The Sect Master's Heir? An Unexpected Dilemma
Poison Undying's calm words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
No one doubts the value of the phrase "twin martial souls".
Even a simple twin martial soul is already the most top-tier talent among soul masters.
For example, Princess Vina, who was sent to the Body Sect by the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family two years ago, possesses both the Snow Lotus Martial Soul and the Brain Martial Soul.
But compared to this little boy in front of her, she was clearly a level below!
The brain and heart are both extremely important parts of the human body, and the potential and quality of these two martial souls are roughly the same.
However, Vina's other martial soul, the Snow Lotus, is completely incomparable to Ye Linyuan's Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
"In addition, Lin Yuan not only has top-notch talent, but his luck is also extraordinary."
"I can't explain this in much detail, but I can tell you that once Lin Yuan grows up, he will at least become a Limit Douluo."
"Even, become a god!"
"Whether our Body Sect can flourish in the future depends on him!" Poison Immortal said solemnly, word by word.
Long Aotian's body trembled violently, and his pupils contracted instantly.
This time, his gaze towards Ye Linyuan even became somewhat blank.
Become... a god?
Since the appearance of Tang San and others, the Sea Gods, ten thousand years ago, no new gods have appeared on the Douluo Continent.
Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has also produced many twin martial soul masters, including some with extremely powerful martial souls.
Undeniably, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a super beast spirit, possesses extraordinary potential.
But becoming a god... is the teacher really not joking?
Poison Undying could see the surprise and doubt in everyone's eyes, but he did not speak again.
If the secrets of divine inheritance were revealed, who knows how many troubles it would cause.
Even if Du Bu Si had great confidence in himself and the Body Sect, he wouldn't dare to take such a risk.
"Alright, that's all I have to announce. Everyone, start your cultivation now."
"Old Jin, can you stay here for a moment?"
With a wave of his hand, Du Busi dismissed everyone, leaving only a robust old man.
"His name is Jin Peng, a level 96 Super Douluo, with a Martial Soul Body and the title of Golden Body."
"When I'm not around, he'll be in charge of the Body Sect."
"If you need any cultivation resources in the future, you can come to him."
Du Bu Si casually introduced the situation and then said to Jin Peng, "Old Jin, give all the remaining Xuan Shui Pills in the sect to Lin Yuan."
Jin Peng's astonished gaze remained fixed on Ye Linyuan.
Upon hearing Du Busi mention the Xuan Shui Pill, Jin Peng snapped out of his daze and said, "Sect Master, there's still one left."
Poison Undying's eyes widened: "What? I remember there were three or four left?"
Jin Peng glanced at him helplessly and said, "You really don't have to worry about anything when you're not in charge. Ao Tian ate one, and Wang Yanfeng and Chen Yu each ate one."
"If you remove three out of four, then only one will be left, right?"
Poison-Free paused for a moment: "Used it so quickly, didn't you buy any new ones?"
Jin Peng's face darkened, and he held out his hand: "You make it sound so easy. You'll need money to buy it!"
"Most of our funds have been used to buy body-refining elixirs for our disciples. Where would we get the money to buy Xuan Shui Pills?"
"Moreover, the Profound Water Pill is extremely rare and expensive; even the royal family doesn't obtain it easily, let alone us?"
Poison Undying fell silent.
After a long pause, Jin Peng sighed and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, are you really not considering deepening the cooperation with the Heavenly Soul Royal Family?"
"With Princess Vina mediating, we..."
Before Jin Peng could finish speaking, Du Busi interrupted him: "There's no need to mention this matter again. As for the funding, I'll find a way."
After saying that, Du Bu Si waved his hand irritably and turned to leave.
Watching the sect leader's retreating figure, Jin Peng sighed and gently shook his head.
He handed Ye Linyuan a simple-looking soul tool storage ring and said, "The Xuan Shui Pill is inside. You can take it yourself."
"Aotian, take Linyuan to choose a place and help him build a residence."
"Yes, Mr. Jin."
Watching Jin Peng turn and leave, Ye Linyuan blinked, his expression strange.
In his original understanding, the Body Sect was one of the top forces on the continent where powerful individuals gathered.
Even if it can't compare to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is known as the wealthiest sect on the entire continent, it shouldn't be short of money.
In the original story, during the first major competition, it seems that the Body Sect also participated in the bidding for the Conferred God Platform.
That thing has a starting bid of a full 100 million!
Although the Body Sect ultimately couldn't compete with Xiao Hongchen, that rich second-generation, its financial resources were clearly unmatched by other smaller sects.
How come, judging from what just happened, it's not at all what he expected?
Ye Linyuan turned to Long Aotian with a puzzled look and asked, "Senior Brother Long, our Body Sect... seems to be in a bad financial situation?"
Long Aotian gave an awkward smile and explained, "Under normal circumstances, the development and construction of a sect requires its own industries to support it."
"Direct line members focus on cultivation, while outer disciples and ordinary people are mainly responsible for the operation and development of the sect."
"But as you've seen, our Body Sect is practically in a semi-secluded state."
"The entire sect's residence only has formal disciples; there are no outer sect members, let alone ordinary people."
"Without sect-owned businesses, there is no stable source of income, so funds naturally become a bit tight."
Ye Linyuan asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Long, with so many top experts in our sect, making money shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Long Aotian shook his head: "The martial souls of our Body Sect disciples are all different. Even if they are the same type of Body Martial Soul, the different soul rings they obtain will result in huge differences in their cultivation direction and abilities."
"Therefore, we rely on our own understanding and practice most of the time in our cultivation, but we also need the experience and guidance of the seniors in the sect."
"With the strength of the senior members in the sect, they are naturally sought after by outsiders. They can become guest advisors in any noble family and never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives."
"But if they all become guest advisors for others, our sect will fall apart."
Ye Linyuan suddenly realized and asked curiously, "If that's the case, then where did our money come from?"
"The sect leader and the elders of the sect sometimes go out to do things, such as helping the royal family deal with troublesome bandit groups, or hunting down evil soul masters, etc., in exchange for rewards."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Linyuan suddenly said, "Senior Brother Long, our sect's headquarters are all in the Royal Hunting Grounds, so what is the relationship between the royal family and us...?"
Long Aotian smiled and said, "The royal family will provide us with ordinary living supplies, such as clothing, food, various daily necessities, and even building materials, but not valuable cultivation resources."
"In exchange, if Tiandou City encounters an insurmountable enemy, our sect will not stand idly by."
"But the patriarch said that we cannot rely on the royal family for everything and must maintain relative independence."
"Otherwise, if this continues, the Body Sect will no longer be our Body Sect, but the Body Sect of the royal family."
At this point, Long Aotian paused and sighed, "Even so, as the number of people in our sect continues to grow..."
"How long can this relatively independent situation last?"
