Chapter 140: Snow Emperor Embryo, Decisive Jing Hongchen
"I can't give away that 100,000-year soul beast embryo, right? Wouldn't Xiao be even more dissatisfied?"
Jing Hongchen couldn't make a decision. He had also thought about leaving the ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum to Xiao Hongchen and giving the soul beast embryo to Lin Qinghan.
But in this way, he would have no hope of breaking through the ninety-fifth level, and the benefits would obviously not be maximized.
On the other hand, if he didn't offer something of great value, he couldn't come up with anything that could move Lin Qinghan. After all, at the ninety-eighth level of strength, ordinary ninth-grade soul tools were no longer effective.
"Alas, I can only smile bitterly again. But don't worry, Grandpa will compensate you."
In the end, Jing Hongchen finally made up his mind and silently apologized to his great-grandson in his heart.
After all, Xiao Hongchen valued the 100,000-year soul beast embryo immensely. It was an item that could allow a soul master to possess a second martial soul.
Its value far exceeded that of a 100,000-year soul bone. For ordinary soul masters, it might even surpass the value of the ten-thousand-year ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum.
But through recent research, Jing Hongchen felt that the energy of the soul beast embryo far surpassed that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Even if Xiao Hongchen reached level 90, he would not be able to absorb it.
In this way, giving it to Lin Qinghan became the best choice.
After all, Lin Qinghan was the owner of twin martial souls. For him, a soul beast embryo likely over 200,000 years old might not even be enough to gain a new martial soul.
With Lin Qinghan's current strength, he could completely absorb the soul rings and soul bones produced.
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen no longer hesitated and went directly to the elevator leading to the deepest part of Mingde Hall.

"This, you're giving it to me?"
Two days later, Lin Qinghan looked at Jing Hongchen, who had come to see him early in the morning. He saw the Snow Emperor embryo in his hand and appeared a bit confused.
One of the reasons he had come here was for the Snow Emperor embryo, but it had been hidden so deeply that he had never found it.
Originally, he had accepted the situation and planned to wait for the Body Sect to search for it. But unexpectedly, after only giving away the immortal herb, Jing Hongchen now presented the Snow Emperor embryo.
"Let's talk about it after we go inside."
The Snow Emperor embryo in Jing Hongchen's hand flashed briefly, and then the two entered the living room of the apartment.
"Where is your shielding soul skill? Use it."
Seeing Jing Hongchen so cautious, Lin Qinghan didn't ask anything and directly activated his spiritual stance to cover the entire dormitory apartment.
After sensing that the apartment was completely isolated from the outside world, Jing Hongchen once again took out the Snow Emperor embryo and now handed it directly to Lin Qinghan.
"You gave me such a precious herb. The Hongchen family cannot fail to show our gratitude. Moreover, if you hadn't given me the ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum, I'm afraid I would never have had the chance to break through the ninety-fifth level in my life."
Lin Qinghan took the Snow Emperor embryo. After Jing Hongchen's reminder, he noticed that his aura was much stronger than a few days ago. It was obvious that he had already consumed the ten-thousand-year ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum.
Jing Hongchen was also shrewd. The purpose of coming to Lin Qinghan now was clearly not just to return the favor but also to express an attitude.
Although it wasn't said directly, Lin Qinghan could see it in Jing Hongchen's eyes and expression:
It clearly meant that the Hongchen Family would stand with him from now on.
---
"The value of the ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum still isn't equal to this 100,000-year soul beast embryo. So, I'll give you this one."
Lin Qinghan picked up the Snow Emperor embryo, carefully observed it, and after confirming that there were no issues, he put it away.
Seeing Jing Hongchen's sincerity, he took out another pill.
"This pill has the same effect as the ninth-grade purple Ganoderma, but provides less soul power—just a bit of compensation."
This pill was made from ordinary herbs that Electrolux obtained through the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Though they were ordinary herbs, the environment of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire elevated their value.
Even outside this special terrain, they were highly valuable. After being refined by Electrolux, the pill had excellent effects in strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence.
On the Douluo Continent, this was a pill that could enhance a soul master's talent and eliminate the side effects of soul mentors using harmful drugs. Its value was no less than a top-grade ten-thousand-year soul bone.
"Haha, I won't be polite then. Here's the wedding ring I prepared for Xiao Meng. I'll give it to you in advance."
Jing Hongchen laughed. He hadn't expected this unexpected gain, which could be used to compensate Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen had been deeply affected by Lin Qinghan after the soul master competition. In order to catch up, he had taken many drugs that damaged his talent. This pill was perfect for him.
Anyway, now that Jing Hongchen had reached the tenth level as a soul mentor, it wouldn't be difficult for him to hunt a 100,000-year soul beast for Xiao Hongchen.

"You came to the Sun and Moon Empire, and you may not only want this."
Jing Hongchen chatted with Lin Qinghan for a while. As the topic neared its end, he changed the subject and asked Lin Qinghan a direct question.
Though blunt, there was no malice in Jing Hongchen's tone.
After all, with such a significant exchange of interests, it was obvious their fates were now tied together. Some more sensitive speculations could be cautiously brought up.
"I can't tell you this for now. Just know that aside from the current Hongchen Family and my original family, the others are not fully aligned with me."
Lin Qinghan didn't directly reveal his plan. After all, it was too shocking. If it leaked, he might be opposed by all human forces.
But he didn't yet have the combat strength of an Ultimate Douluo, so for now, he could only plan silently.
"Alright, I'm willing to believe you. I won't ask further. From now on, the Hongchen Family stands with you."
Jing Hongchen's expression grew serious. He took out a special token and placed it on the table.
Without saying anything else, he left the token of the Hongchen Family and exited Lin Qinghan's dormitory.
---
"This Lin Qinghan is ambitious. What he wants is immense."
On the way back, Jing Hongchen felt restless, his fists clenched tightly.
When Lin Qinghan spoke those words, any intelligent person would understand his implication.
What he wanted was probably to unify the entire Douluo Continent!
After all, such a young man—with extraordinary talent and a trove of immortal herbs—what else but the world itself could excite him?
But Jing Hongchen didn't think Lin Qinghan was being delusional. Lin Qinghan now had the strength of a level-98 Titled Douluo. And how old was he?
Lin Qinghan's rise was unstoppable. Jing Hongchen believed that in just five or six years, Lin Qinghan would attain the strength of an Ultimate Douluo.
Although the Hongchen Family was currently the foremost family in the Sun Moon Empire aside from the royal family, it was clearly the best choice to align with Lin Qinghan now.
Perhaps, in the future, he would even be blessed by the gods.
Jing Hongchen looked forward to it.
