Dai Yichen: Father, what do you think of the blacksmiths on the mainland?

Chapter 82 Dai Yichen: Father, what do you think of the blacksmiths on the mainland?

Dai Yichen nodded and said, "Yes, Father, one of the things I came to tell you today is about her. The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda among auxiliary Martial Souls."

Of course, if it were up to you and me to choose, we'd both probably think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is more useful than the Nine Heart Begonia on the battlefield.

Dai Yutian nodded at the opportune moment, indicating that he shared the same view.

Healing does not improve combat power and allow them to fight beyond their level. In his opinion, the Nine Heart Begonia is actually inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Whether in terms of function or number of people, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is superior.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is renowned throughout the continent, known to almost every educated Soul Master and even some commoners. But what about the Nine Heart Begonia?

It was said to be on par with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, but he hadn't actually thought of it at first without Dai Yichen's reminder.

Dai Yichen chuckled: "Father, I know what you're thinking. That's why I hope you can allocate more resources to Ye Lingling from the academy. I believe that the Nine Heart Begonia's reputation for 'bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded' is definitely not unfounded."

The reason it's not well-known now is not only because the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul can only be passed down within one lineage, but also because the possessors of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul are too weak to fully utilize its healing abilities.

Seeing Dai Yichen's serious expression, Dai Yutian nodded, then shook his head and said, "You don't need to tell me, I will naturally arrange it. As far as I know, her martial soul is already the top among the healing-type martial souls in the academy, and the academy has no reason not to cultivate it."

However, let me tell you, brat, support-type Soul Masters cultivate slowly, not only because their cultivation is more difficult than attack-type Soul Masters, but also because resources are scarcer. There are generally two ways to quickly increase Ye Lingling's Soul Power: one is to frequently use her Martial Soul, and the other is for the resources invested in the simulated environment to be as compatible with her as possible.”

Dai Yichen, however, did not take it seriously and appeared somewhat lazy: "Father, don't try to fool me. Ye Lingling is only at what level now. For the royal family, the resources are most abundant in the early stages. She is not a Soul Master or Soul King yet. The resources will be much less than they are now at that time."

"Aren't you just worried that if the royal family invests too many resources, what will happen if she doesn't serve the royal family in the end?" Dai Yichen saw through it at a glance.

Dai Yutian:

"Hehe, since you know that, you should understand my concerns. You said it yourself, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is passed down through a single lineage, so she should also have a relative with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul by her side, right? But she came with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. What if she leaves later?"

Dai Yichen simply smiled slightly: "Father, didn't you say before that you would try to fulfill any request I might have? Don't you have any faith in your son's personal charm? Great men don't concern themselves with trifles. What's wrong with taking a gamble? At worst, we can just pretend those resources never existed."

Dai Yutian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Dai Yichen. You can imagine what that means.

He thought to himself that he had indeed said that before, but only to him. Dai Yichen was the fourth prince of Xingluo, and everything he did was from the perspective of the royal family. He would not harm the royal family. But if the resources were given to Ye Lingling, it would be a waste if she really left.

Actually, he did have a thought in his mind: if Ye Lingling really left later, he could find an opportunity to assassinate her. However, Ye Lingling seemed to have a good relationship with Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and if he did that, he would probably be suspected.

The royal family is currently preparing for reforms, and it would be best to avoid any further disruptions.

After pondering for a moment, Dai Yutian looked at Dai Yichen and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I promise you. I can provide Ye Lingling with the best cultivation resources the royal family can provide. You can handle the rest yourself."

"Alright, that's it for this matter. Is there a second thing?" Dai Yutian glared at Dai Yichen with some impatience. This was the only way he could express his dissatisfaction.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the resources given to Ye Lingling, but rather with Dai Yichen's confident and strategic demeanor, which made him seem rather useless.

Even with such a dawdling attitude regarding the crucial resources, Dai Yutian could already guess how Dai Yichen was mentally plotting against him.

Dai Yichen: Cough cough, you're really wronging me. At most, I'll just mention it in my diary, hehe.

In the void, Dugu Bo thought Dai Yichen was going to say something to Dai Yutian, but he didn't expect that it was to ask for resources for Ye Lingling. This made Dugu Bo a little curious about Dai Yichen's intentions.

Is it really just to see the so-called ability to "bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded"?

Dugu Bo is a shrewd person. He felt that Dai Yichen definitely had a thing for the girl, otherwise why would he help her so much?

Dai Yichen: Yes and no. There's an anime filter involved, so I do have some good feelings towards him, since he has silver hair, which is barely considered white hair, but I wouldn't say I like him.

Dai Yichen did this from the perspective of the royal family. He was confident that he could keep Ye Lingling. Once the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul reached the Title Douluo level, its healing ability might undergo a major qualitative change!

As for minor qualitative changes, that would be the day I become a Soul Saint.

But that's not what he wanted to hear. What he really wanted to know was whether Dai Yichen truly had the ability to cure their poison.

In his opinion, Dai Yichen couldn't possibly know medicine or poison. If he did, he should have noticed that Yan Yan's hair and eyes were different from ordinary people when he first saw her, but he didn't say anything.

Of course, this could also be because they just met, and saying "you're poisoned" as soon as they meet might offend people and be a thankless task.

Therefore, Dugu Bo was not in a hurry. He would treat this period as a time to recuperate. As long as he didn't use his martial soul too much, his illness wouldn't flare up so frequently. Moreover, he could suppress it most of the time by not going to Sunset Forest.

He lost interest in listening further and left immediately. The Star Luo Emperor treated him quite well, preparing a mansion for him in both the city and the suburbs, allowing him to come and go freely.

"Father, what is your opinion on blacksmiths on the continent?" Dai Yichen asked calmly.

Dai Yutian suddenly felt that the conversation had taken a rather large leap.

He originally thought that his son had come to him because he had encountered some difficulties in his cultivation or needed something, but it turned out that it wasn't for him at all.

A blacksmith? How could he possibly see him? He'd see him the same way he would an ordinary person.

Blacksmiths on the continent are only slightly better than commoners; their status is still very low. If it weren't for the fact that the two great empires had millions of soldiers who needed weapons, armor, and other such items, blacksmiths would probably have no value at all.
