Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 34 Origin
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Yan Shaozhe's face was filled with surprise.

"Junior brother is truly extraordinary. He actually came up with a solution. Tell us quickly."

“To solve a problem, we must first understand the nature of the problem.”

"Nature?"

"Yes, Junior-Martial Brother Xiaotao's evil fire is indeed extraordinary, but as far as I know, no one seems to have thought about where this evil fire comes from."

"This……"

"Junior Brother, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with solving the problem, does it?"

“How can we completely solve the problem if we don’t know the root cause?”

Moon En said: "Xiaoyi, tell me what you think."

Lin Yi then continued, "According to my observation, this evil fire is not only born from the source, but also has certain spiritual attributes."

"Spiritual attributes?"

Yan Shaozhe was immediately puzzled, and Ma Xiaotao's eyes were also full of doubts.

After all, for thousands of years, all Shrek ancestors have called it evil fire, and no one has ever said that this fire also has spiritual properties.

"Since this flame can affect the mind, it is naturally related to the spirit, which means it has spiritual attributes."

Master and disciple Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao exchanged a glance. Although they had never expected this, after Lin Yi's explanation, it seemed that this evil fire really did have spiritual properties.

Moon also looked thoughtful and motioned Lin Yi to continue.

"Also, I think this fire shouldn't be called evil fire, but rather lust fire."

This is another term that no one has thought of.

Lin Yi didn't wait for questions and explained directly: "When this evil fire breaks out, it does affect the mind and can even cause loss of control. But what is the solution passed down from ten thousand years ago? It's through sexual intercourse..."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's cheeks couldn't help but flush. This kid...how could he...how could he say such a thing so naturally and directly!
"Since it can be channeled through this kind of thing, that is, this flame itself affects people's desires and amplifies the desire for sexual intercourse between men and women. That's why I call it the fire of desire."

Several people understood Lin Yi's meaning. They had to admit that Lin Yi's analysis made sense, but...

Yan Shaozhe suddenly reacted, "Junior brother, but you still haven't told me the solution."

Lin Yi said calmly: "Don't worry, now that we know the nature of this flame, the only thing left is to prescribe the right medicine."

"I've thought of two solutions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. You can listen to them."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Lin Yi expectantly. Through the analysis just now, he had more confidence in Lin Yi.

"There are two ways. First, actively accept this fire of desire and use it for your own benefit. If you can control it, this fire of desire will possess both fire and spiritual attributes. If you cultivate it to a high level in the future, you might be able to directly burn someone's spirit, or even their soul."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she wished she could have such means immediately.

Yan Shaozhe was excited just now, but now he is much calmer. "You just said that there are pros and cons. Now that there are pros, what are the cons?"

"This lust will eventually affect oneself. Once one loses control, the consequences are unpredictable."

Several people understood. To put it bluntly, this lust means hurting yourself first and then hurting the enemy. If you can hold on, then the enemy will be in trouble. If you can't hold on, then you will be in trouble.

Yan Shaozhe immediately said: "Let's talk about the second method."

"Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao spoke. She was strong-willed and her desire was so strong that she was unwilling to give up.

"shut up!"

Yan Shaozhe scolded her immediately, and Ma Xiaotao didn't dare to say anything. This was the first time Yan Shaozhe had been so harsh since she became his disciple.

"Master knows you have a strong personality, but didn't you hear the consequences your junior uncle just warned you about? Right now, this evil fire is already too much for you to bear. If it grows stronger and gets out of control, how will you resist?"

"Lust, it's lust." Lin Yi reminded in a low voice.

Yan Shaozhe's emotions were interrupted, and his anger subsided a little. He ignored the little kid who didn't care about the occasion and said to Ma Xiaotao earnestly, "Xiaotao, I have no children, so you are my daughter. I don't want to see someone die young. I believe that even without that lustful desire, you can still become a powerful spirit master, because you are my disciple, Yan Shaozhe, and the number one genius in Shrek Academy in hundreds of years!"

"Teacher..." Ma Xiaotao's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she nodded continuously, "Teacher, I understand."

"Good boy," Yan Shaozhe touched his disciple's head, with some emotion in his eyes.

"If you two are alright, then I'll continue."

The one who could ruin the atmosphere like this was naturally Lin Yi.

Stopping Ma Xiaotao who was about to take action, Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Junior brother, please continue."

"Okay, the second method is the same old thing. It's to purify the flame, remove the lustful part, and make it pure flame."

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but say, "To purify the flames, you need a magical herb with fire properties, but magical herbs are hard to find. Where can I find them?"

Yan Shaozhe was also a little disappointed. After all, he couldn't find a way to solve his disciple's martial soul defect.

"Who said we have to rely on magic grass?"

Lin Yi spoke eloquently, "The second method is to strengthen the essence of the martial soul."

"Strengthen the essence of martial spirit?" Moon, who had been listening, suddenly became interested. "Tell me more about it."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

"In the final analysis, the Evil Fire Phoenix's lust comes from its very origin. To completely resolve it, we must start from the very origin of our martial soul." "First, we must enhance the intensity of the fire attribute within the origin."

“Second, view the lust in the flame as an impurity and purify it to increase the purity of the flame.”

Ma Xiaotao was confused when she heard this, while Yan Shaozhe seemed to be thinking about something.

Moon's eyes were full of admiration. "Tell me about your specific plan."

"There's nothing much to say about this. One is through spirit rings, and the other is through self-comprehension, understanding the origin of one's own martial spirit, and purifying one's own flame."

"Soul ring?"

"origin?"

Moon was somewhat surprised that Lin Yi actually mentioned the spirit ring, while Yan Shaozhe was puzzled as to why the origin could purify its own flame.

Ma Xiaotao's explanation was much simpler, she didn't understand either of them.

Lin Yi could only continue to explain, "The spirit ring itself can help the spirit to evolve."

"Spirit rings only help spirit masters break through bottlenecks and grant them spirit skills. How can they help martial souls evolve?"

"This is related to the spirit master's martial soul origin. When the martial soul origins match, the spirit ring can help the martial soul achieve a certain degree of evolution."

Seeing that they were still confused, Lin Yi said nothing more and directly summoned his golden tree. The first soul ring shone and the golden growth started.

The tree roots dug into the earth. Lin Yi said nothing and silently pushed the effect of the golden growth to the extreme.

A moment later, under the horrified gaze of Moon and Yan Shaozhe, the grass around the place where the golden tree took root seemed to accelerate as if time had accelerated. The originally vibrant green slowly faded and gradually turned withered and yellow!

It's as if the vitality has been sucked away.

Under the shocked gazes of the two, Lin Yi slowly said, "This is the new attribute that the Blue Silver King gave me, Devouring."

When they heard the word "swallow", Moon En and Yan Shaozhe's expressions changed.

Yan Shaozhe spoke quickly, "Junior brother, remember, from now on, you must never show this attribute in front of others. If you really have to use it..."

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice: "Then we can only leave no one alive!"

"Xiao Tao!"

"exist."

"Don't reveal a single word of what happened today!"

Glancing at Lin Yi, Ma Xiaotao said obediently, "Yes, teacher."

Lin Yi was a little confused.

"Junior brother, do you know that the Devouring attribute generally represents an evil soul master?"

Lin Yi nodded to show that he understood.

"Now that you know this, don't you understand the seriousness of this?"

"What's so serious about it? The Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master is my master, and I also possess the ultimate light attribute. Who dares to call me an evil soul master! Just based on the attributes I gained from absorbing a soul ring?"

"That's true," Yan Shaozhe was somewhat convinced.

"Well, it's just an attribute after all," Moon set the tone.

"Xiaoyi, remember, the Devouring attribute can easily lead a soul master into evil. You must guard your original heart and not be influenced by power."

"Don't worry, Master, I won't."

Lin Yi immediately activated his second soul skill, but the golden blessing had not yet taken shape, nor was it the previous golden confinement.

When everyone was puzzled, they saw visible light elements quickly gathered on Lin Yi's outstretched palm and were transformed into various shapes by Lin Yi.

Swords, shields, birds, beasts, and all kinds of images.

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What exquisite soul power control."

Moon En and Yan Shaozhe looked delighted.

"Master, Senior Brother Yan, do you believe now that I won't become an evil soul master?"

"Believe it, of course I believe it."

Seeing that both her teacher and her master's grandfather were overjoyed, Ma Xiaotao tugged at her teacher's sleeve and said, "Teacher, it's just that my soul power control is more refined. Why are you and my master..."

The joy on Yan Shaozhe's face had not yet faded, and he patiently explained: "Xiao Tao, the elements will not lie."

"Junior Brother is able to control the light element with ease. Besides his own excellent control ability, there is another reason, that is the recognition of the light. A soul master who can be recognized by the light will not fall into the evil soul master."

Ma Xiaotao suddenly realized.

Lin Yi retracted his martial spirit and continued, "Actually, what I really want to talk about is the second method, because I have already done it."

"Moreover, through this method, I have already confirmed the third soul ring!"
