Douluo's Spiritual Pearl and Divine Sword

"Pills? What kind of pills are so powerful that they can actually help a Soul Douluo break through the bottleneck?" Yu Tianheng touched his chin a hint of confusion flashing across his face.

As a cultivation resource pills were indeed available in their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but they were generally used to assist low-level soul masters. As a soul master's power increased, the effectiveness of these pills gradually diminished.

Even his grandfather a Titled Douluo at level ninety-five had long reached the stage where no pill could help him further his cultivation.

"This is it." Jun Tianlin smiled and took out a radiant pill with a golden hue "This is a ninth-grade Purple Gold Pill. It strengthens the body and purifies soul power, and it's effective for all cultivation levels. Back then, I refined five pills. One went to Senior Dugu, one to Elder Yin Mengyang, and two to my parents This last one is for you Teacher Qin Ming. I hope it will help you break through to the Soul Emperor level soon."

Qin Ming currently a level 54 Battle Soul King, blinked in surprise. In the original timeline, he would take another three years to break through to Soul Emperor, becoming the second-youngest on the continent to do so. With the Purple Gold Pill, however, he might break that record.

"What? You're giving this to me?" Qin Ming was clearly taken aback "Xiaotian, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Knowing the pill's worth Qin Ming was both touched and hesitant An pill capable of pushing a Soul Douluo past a bottleneck was a rare treasure Even if he wanted it how could he take it so casually?

"Teacher Qin, think of it as a token of my gratitude for your guidance over the past year" Tianlin smiled warmly "Besides, this Purple Gold Pill isn't a miracle cure. Elder Yin Mengyang succeeded because he was already at the peak of level 89. The pill was just a catalyst. For someone who has only just entered that stage, even ten of these pills wouldn't make much difference"

Tianlin's reasoning was sound but there was more to his generosity. He admired Qin Ming's potential and if nurtured well the teacher could reach the Titled Douluo realm before sixty And since Qin Ming hadn't pledged allegiance to any clan then there was a possibility of recruiting him to their side in the future After all no clan would ever complain about having too many Titled Douluo among its ranks.

"Alright then Thank you Xiaotian" Qin Ming finally gave in and accepted the pill his initial hesitation melting away under the boy's sincerity.

"Oh, by the way" Tianlin added with a chuckle "there's a gift for Teacher Zhou Yan too. It's a flower called Fen Xiangxiang While it's not as rare as fairy herbs but it's perfect for her since she specializes in powder-based abilities Teacher Qin Ming, could you please pass it along?"

The mention of Zhou Yan brought a soft smile to Tianlin's face He still vividly remembered how she had stood up for him during the Orff incident That act of kindness had left a lasting impression.

At this point Osler couldn't contain himself any longer Slipping an arm around Tianlin's shoulders he teased "Xiaotian you've been handing out all these treasures Don't tell me you've got nothing left for us?"

Tianlin shot him a playful glare "Senior Osler, before we talk about gifts shouldn't you be thinking about repaying the gold soul coins you owe me?"

"Ugh!" Osler groaned, his face twisting in mock despair. He'd completely forgotten about his debt to Tianlin. And as his biggest creditor Tianlin had every right to call him out.

"How about this?" Osler tried bargaining "Forget the gift and write off my debt instead?"

At this Yu Tianheng and the others all facepalmed in unison Their senior's shamelessness was on full display Not only did he owe money but now he had the audacity to ask for a gift too?

"No way!" Tianlin smirked "The debt stays Gifts and debts are separate matters"

Osler could only sigh in exaggerated defeat but the rest of the group caught onto the hidden implication in Tianlin's words — he had prepared gifts for them too!

Ye Lingling ever direct and no-nonsense stepped forward and extended her hand "Xiaotian my gift."

Tianlin chuckled appreciating her straightforwardness "As expected of you Senior Sister Lingling." He pulled out a jade box from his Ruyi Treasure Bag and handed it to her.

Without hesitation Ye Lingling opened the box and immediately a rich fragrance filled the air The scent was refreshing with a soothing orchid note that seemed to clear one's mind.

Inside the box lay a delicate snow-white flower with eight petals exuding a sense of purity and elegance.

Tianlin explained "Senior Sister, this is the Eight-Petal Fairy Orchid, one of the most gentle fairy herbs. It's perfect for auxiliary spirit masters like you. It strengthens the body and purifies soul power, addressing the slower cultivation speed that auxiliary spirit masters typically face."

Ye Lingling's usually calm expression cracked as her eyes widened in astonishment "There's a herb that can do that? Are you sure you want to give it to me? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has many auxiliary spirit masters. Wouldn't it be more useful for them?"

"Don't worry about that" Tianlin smiled gently "I've made other arrangements for the clan. This is yours."

Seeing her still somewhat hesitant Tianlin added, "It's easy to take. Just chew and swallow. Afterward, your soul power will increase by several levels. Once that happens, you can start preparing to hunt for soul beasts."

Hearing this Ye Lingling didn't bother with further formalities She took the herb and moved to a quiet corner to absorb its medicinal essence.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Emperor Team stared at Tianlin with undisguised eagerness They had assumed any gifts from him would be modest tokens But after seeing the treasures he had handed out they realized these were far more valuable than they had imagined.

"Don't worry" Tianlin said reassuringly "Everyone gets something."

He turned to Osler "Senior Oslo, your gift is the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone. It nourishes the tendons and bones, circulating qi through your meridians."

This herb originally meant for Zhu Zhuqing in the canon had a feminine connotation but considering Osler's flashy personality Tianlin thought it suited him perfectly.

Osler took the herb asked how to use it then happily dashed off to practice.

Next up was Yufeng "Senior Yufeng, this is the Wind and Fire Seven-Leaf Flower. It's especially beneficial for those with wind or fire attributes. As they say, fire borrows wind's strength and wind fuels fire's power After taking this your wind will carry a fiery heat."

Tianlin handed over a unique plant with seven leaves: three green three red and one yellow leaf in the center "Eat the yellow leaf It contains all the medicinal properties."

Yufeng usually a man of few words accepted the herb solemnly "Thank you, Xiaotian If there's ever a chance I will repay this kindness."

After Yufeng it was the turn of the Shi brothers. Instead of herbs Tianlin presented them with elixirs "These are Black Tortoise Golden Elixirs derived from the Rock Turtle Herb For martial spirits like yours these are perfect."

The two honest brothers accepted the pills gratefully They didn't hesitate to take them on the spot showing their trust in Tianlin's abilities.

Watching them Tianlin couldn't help but smile warmly. Their faith in him was evident and it filled him with a sense of fulfillment.
