Chapter 392 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [392]
The Nine-Hearts Begonia lineage is very unique. In the entire world, there can only ever be two soul masters with the Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul awakened at the same time. Because of this, even though the Nine-Hearts Begonia possesses an incredible healing ability capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bones, rivaling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for the position of the strongest auxiliary system martial soul, it has never faced persecution from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
On the contrary, due to its limited numbers, the relationship between the Nine-Hearts Begonia and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan—two forces that should theoretically be rivals—has always been rather harmonious.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan can be considered a tacit supporter of the Nine-Hearts Begonia. They have always sought ways to bring the unique martial soul of the Nine-Hearts Begonia into their clan to ensure its continuation.
However, this does not mean that the Nine-Hearts Begonia family is a small or insignificant clan.
The Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul can only exist in two individuals at a time. Yet, the problem lies in the fact that martial souls are passed down through the bloodlines of both parents. This means that every soul master's bloodline contains not only the dominant martial soul but also numerous recessive martial soul traits.
When the number of Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul soul masters reaches its limit, the Nine-Hearts Begonia bloodline in the next generation becomes recessive. As a result, the children of Nine-Hearts Begonia soul masters will awaken the martial soul of the other parent.
When the number of Nine-Hearts Begonia soul masters falls below two, the bloodline of the individual with the most concentrated Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul becomes dominant. While this will not change the martial soul of the currently awakened individual, it ensures that their offspring will awaken the Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul.
This process continues until two soul masters with the Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul appear simultaneously, at which point the remaining bloodlines become dormant again.
Thus, despite various restrictions, the inheritance of the Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul has never been interrupted. Even if both current Nine-Hearts Begonia soul masters were to die simultaneously, the martial soul would not vanish from the Douluo Continent.
To truly eradicate the Nine-Hearts Begonia, one would have to eliminate every single individual carrying the bloodline. Otherwise, the martial soul will continue to reappear indefinitely. This paradoxical nature means that while the inheritance of the Nine-Hearts Begonia appears precariously limited to two individuals, in reality, the martial soul is almost always present.
Furthermore, because children born during a time when two Nine-Hearts Begonia soul masters coexist will inevitably inherit the martial soul of the other parent, the Nine-Hearts Begonia family has accumulated some strong martial soul inheritances over time.
The current head of the Nine-Hearts Begonia family is Ye Renxin, the grandfather of Ye Lingling. He is a healing-type Soul Sage. Known for his gentle and compassionate nature, Ye Renxin is also a skilled physician in addition to his martial soul abilities. He holds honorary noble titles in both empires and serves as an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall.
Even on the entire continent, Ye Renxin's status is considered exceptionally prestigious. He is someone who can converse casually with the emperors of the two great empires or even the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
The Nine-Hearts Begonia family has a long-standing tradition of conducting free medical consultations for commoners every few months or once a year. This practice dates back to the creation of the Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul thousands of years ago.
Although the Nine-Hearts Begonia family itself cannot count how many lives they have saved, they have garnered a significant following because of their benevolence. Many soul masters from humble backgrounds hold the Nine-Hearts Begonia family in near-reverent esteem.
Ye Renxin's whereabouts are not a secret. In fact, during their free medical consultations, the Nine-Hearts Begonia family often deliberately publicizes their plans.
Throughout history, there have been those who harbored malicious intent toward the Nine-Hearts Begonia family, attempting to kidnap them during these consultations. However, the Nine-Hearts Begonia lineage is not without defenses. Whenever they travel, at least one Soul Saint accompanies them, and occasionally, even a Soul Douluo. At their peak, they were even guarded by a Titled Douluo.
Currently, the Nine-Hearts Begonia family has two Soul Sages and one Soul Douluo. When Ye Renxin travels, the Soul Douluo always accompanies him. With the healing capabilities of the Nine-Hearts Begonia, even a typical Titled Douluo would struggle to abduct them before reinforcements arrived.
As for Tang Hao, he is undoubtedly the most infamous figure on the continent in the past century, if not the past millennium. Having killed even the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao no longer cares about the consequences of his actions. With enemies across the land, he has nothing to lose.
Tang Hao believes that once he recovers, with his hundred-thousand-year soul ring and his Clear Sky Hammer, few in the world can match him. Even if Qian Daoliu were to intervene, Tang Hao is confident in his ability to escape.
This time, Ye Renxin's free medical consultation was held in a city near Heaven Dou City. As usual, a large crowd gathered around Ye Renxin. Some sought treatment, some came out of curiosity, and others had ulterior motives.
Surrounding Ye Renxin was a group of fully armed soul masters and attendants skillfully maintaining order. Many soul masters who had previously benefited from Ye Renxin's kindness also joined the gathering, offering to act as guards.
It could be said that Ye Renxin's current protection force was comparable to an army from the Heaven Dou Empire. There were over a hundred armored attendants maintaining order alone.
But after so many years, Ye Renxin had grown accustomed to being surrounded by people. Despite countless gazes fixed upon him, he continued to treat patients with a cheerful smile.
Healing-type soul masters are not omnipotent, not even the Nine-Hearts Begonia. While physical injuries are easy to treat, diseases are a different matter.
The human body is complex, and similar symptoms can have many different causes. Blindly using soul skills can sometimes do more harm than good. Thus, the Nine-Hearts Begonia family has always studied medicine and toxins alongside their martial soul inheritance.
Even without their martial soul, the descendants of the Nine-Hearts Begonia are still the best physicians and top-tier poison masters on the continent.

Patiently, Ye Renxin examined one person after another. For injuries treatable with soul skills, he used them. For those suffering from illnesses, he prescribed medicine, instructing patients to collect it from nearby attendants.
As the other Nine-Hearts Begonia martial soul holder, Ye Lingling stood beside him, nodding and taking notes on various diseases. Occasionally, Ye Renxin would have Ye Lingling handle minor cases, explaining symptoms and injuries to her in detail.
The Nine-Hearts Begonia lineage has always passed down their knowledge in this way. In his youth, Ye Renxin also followed his elders during medical consultations, learning bit by bit until he became the renowned Saint of Medicine celebrated across the continent.
Gradually, night fell. Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling finished their work for the day and returned to their inn to rest. Although some people who had waited for hours expressed disappointment, the soul masters guarding Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling ensured that no one dared to voice dissatisfaction.
The free medical consultation was scheduled to last for three days, and today was only the first. After returning to the inn, Ye Renxin tested Ye Lingling on her understanding of the patients' conditions and treatments.
Originally, everything seemed normal. No one expected anything to happen. However, as the moon rose to its zenith and the world fell silent, Tang Hao, who had been waiting all day, finally found his opportunity.
