Chapter 68: Information on the Medicine Master
After Ye Lingling displayed her new combat strength, everyone genuinely felt happy for her. At the very least, she now had some ability to protect herself.
From then on, Ye Lingling officially began practical combat training together with the members of the Fighting team.
This was a very good arrangement. The team's abilities were extremely comprehensive. They had aerial combat from Yu Feng, Osler's speed and suppression, Yu Tianheng's powerful offense, Dugu Yan's large area poison mist, and the Shi brothers' defense and counterattacks. By sparring with them frequently, Ye Lingling could accumulate all kinds of battle experience and be far better prepared for sudden attacks in the future.
Of course, just because Ye Lingling was receiving combat training did not mean she would become a main attacker within the Royal Fighting Team. The team did not lack offensive strength. In future group battles, Ye Lingling would still mainly stand at the rear, using Nine Heart Begonia to heal and support everyone, just as she had before.
Her combat power existed for one purpose only: to protect her own life.
Once Ye Lingling's situation had settled back into a proper rhythm, Yu Tianlin also returned to Thunder Academy, resumed his studies, and went back to his regular training routine.
Before they knew it, a year and a half quietly passed.
During this time, Yu Tianlin kept his promise to Vice Dean Lei Bao, taking first place in the Thunder Class final exams in his first year.
His combat performance was unquestionable. In the practical combat portion, his score was firmly number one, far ahead of second place. His theoretical results were also outstanding, ranking among the top three. With both combat and academics taken into account, his first place in the Thunder Class was fully deserved.
Not long after securing first place, Yu Tianlin broke through to rank twenty six and advanced from the Thunder Class to the Thunder Shock Class.
Now, after another half year, Yu Tianlin's Spirit Power had reached rank twenty seven.
At this time, he was still two months away from his tenth birthday, yet his cultivation had already reached this level. When he actually turned ten, he was certain he could advance to rank twenty eight. That level of cultivation at that age could only be described as extraordinary.
It had to be said that Shui Bing'er's cultivation speed represented the limit of what a normal human could achieve without any special opportunities. Even so, when she reached ten years of age, she was only at rank twenty five, a full three ranks behind Yu Tianlin at the same age.
From a certain point of view, Yu Tianlin could already be considered to have surpassed ordinary human limits.
In addition, the age of his first Spirit Ring had increased to around two thousand five hundred years. When he had first entered the academy, it had only been a bit over one thousand years, meaning it had grown by roughly one thousand five hundred years.
The main problem was that practicing at Thunder Academy was not very convenient. He could not summon lightning too loudly inside the academy, and it certainly did not rain every night there, so the increase of his first Spirit Ring's age was relatively slow.
Of that extra one thousand five hundred years, a large portion had been gained during the academy's annual vacation, when he could return to the clan and focus on improving it. Thunder Academy granted one month of annual leave. During that entire month, Yu Tianlin had gone every night to train in the clan master's private cultivation chamber. That period truly felt exhilarating.
Two months from now, Yu Tianlin would turn ten. As the direct grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Master, his tenth birthday naturally had to be celebrated in grand fashion. His elder brother had received the same treatment when he turned ten, so Yu Tianlin would be no exception.
However, before that day arrived, Yu Tianlin's father, Yu Mingfeng, personally came to Thunder Academy. He asked Lei Bao to help arrange an extended leave for Yu Tianlin, then took him back to the clan two months ahead of schedule.
As for his older brother Yu Tianheng, his training at Heaven Dou Royal Academy was extremely intense and it was still too early, so he did not return with them. He only promised to come back a few days before Yu Tianlin's tenth birthday.
Returning to the clan early was not a bad thing for Yu Tianlin. At the very least, he could once again use the clan master's private training room, cultivate with lightning as he pleased, and properly raise the age of his first Spirit Ring.
That night, as usual, Yu Yuanzhen brought Yu Tianlin to his cultivation room. Before leaving, he took out a thick stack of documents from his storage Spirit Tool and handed them over.
"Here," Yu Yuanzhen said, "this is the information you wanted. It is all about people considered experts in medicine."
Hearing that, Yu Tianlin hurriedly accepted the documents.
After returning to the clan, he had asked his grandfather to help him gather information on medicine masters. It seemed the results had finally arrived.
Seeing his grandson's reaction, Yu Yuanzhen slowly shook his head.
"Tianlin, I do not know why you suddenly became interested in medicine," he said seriously, "but I still have to remind you. Do not let this affect your Spirit Power cultivation, understand?"
"Do not worry, Grandpa, I know my priorities. Spirit Power cultivation comes first." Yu Tianlin patted his chest and promised, "Look, I am already close to rank twenty eight now. Being able to reach rank twenty eight at ten years old, even if I have had some opportunities along the way, is still inseparable from my own hard work."
Even if he did not count the two ranks gained from consuming the Dragon Origin Fruit, nor the extra rank when he absorbed his second Spirit Ring, Yu Tianlin could still reach rank twenty five by the age of ten, which matched the absolute limit of a normal human Spirit Master's cultivation speed.
"In that case, focus on your cultivation. I will not disturb you any further."
Once he confirmed that Yu Tianlin understood, Yu Yuanzhen said nothing more and turned to leave.
After his grandfather departed, Yu Tianlin did not go straight to the lightning rod to cultivate. Instead, he sat down and began carefully flipping through the documents in his hands.
The first profile that caught his eye was Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
Yu Tianlin was instantly speechless and stuffed that page at the very bottom of the stack.
The reason he wanted information on medicine masters was to find someone who understood immortal herbs and who might be able to resolve Dugu Yan's poison. Dugu Bo clearly could not do either of those things, so there was no point in studying his file.
That Dugu Bo could even be listed as a "medicine master" could only be blamed on the influence of his title, Poison Douluo. Whenever people thought of medicine or poison, his name always came to mind.
The second page was about Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan. Yu Tianlin thought about it for a while and remembered that this person indeed knew about immortal herbs and might have a way to resolve Dugu Yan's poison.
Unfortunately, Chrysanthemum Douluo was a member of Spirit Hall, so Yu Tianlin could not let him learn anything about immortal herbs. Moreover, rumor had it that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had a deep grudge between them. Expecting him to treat Dugu Yan, who carried the Jade Phosphorus Snake poison, was simply unrealistic.
Yu Tianlin pushed Yue Guan's information to the bottom as well, then continued turning the pages.
The next few people all looked quite impressive on paper. They either had poisonous Martial Souls or plant type Martial Souls, or had bodies modified by rare herbs. At a glance, they seemed like they should be very familiar with medicine.
However, after reading carefully, Yu Tianlin realized that these people only looked the part. Their Martial Souls or bodies made others subconsciously think they were knowledgeable in medicine, but in truth, their medical skill was limited.
In any case, Yu Tianlin felt that the chances of them knowing anything about true immortal herbs were extremely low.
He was not anxious. He patiently went through each profile.
Before long, a name appeared before his eyes.
"Oh, it is this person."
Seeing the name and summary, Yu Tianlin felt a faint sense of familiarity. He closed his eyes, quietly searched his memories for a moment, then slowly recalled the details related to this person.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and raised his brows slightly.
"If it is him," Yu Tianlin thought, "then there should not be a problem."
