This situation stunned Tu Jun. His eyes widened as he looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, "Boss Lin Yi, are you serious?"
"Why would I lie to you about something like this? Why else would I ask you for the essence? "Lin Yi frowned. He didn't know what kind of expression Tyrant had on his face. Was it that surprising?
"No, Boss Lin, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, I thought that you had an earth element friend who went crazy during training and needed the essence of the earth element to mediate, but now it seems that's not the case. The situation you're talking about is very likely the earth element inheritor that our Yellow Earth High Sect has been looking for. The situation you described is exactly the same as the earth element inheritor!" Tu Xiaowang quickly explained.
"Earth element inheritor?" Although Old Lin had mentioned this before, he wasn't very sure. Now that Tu Xiaowang had mentioned it, it was basically certain that Little Nine was the so-called Earth Inheritor!
At the thought, Lin Yi couldn't help but be wary. One had to know that the moment Xiaoxiao became the inheritor, Lin Yi wasn't very willing. Miss Rock Candy said that the inheritor had to do something dangerous.
Xiaoxiao going to the Ice Palace and becoming an inheritor was something Lin Yi didn't want, but Little Nine was something Lin Yi couldn't just let go of so easily. And so, Lin Yi said calmly, "I just want to know how to use this essence. As for the inheritor or not, I don't care. My friend won't be an inheritor."
"That's …" Tu Jun. Tu Jun. realized that he was being a bit too emotional. This was Lin Yi, not anyone else! There was no way he could control the will of the person in front of him, so Tu Ba could only smile bitterly, "Boss Lin, it's like this. If that person's condition is as you say, using the essence of the earth element as a catalyst, along with the parts of the earth element Sky class spirit beasts can provide the greatest amount of relief, but there's a flaw in doing so. The earth element in your friend's body will disappear, and his body will become extremely weak. Even if you can extend his life, he won't be able to live for long. He'll die within ten or twenty years."
"What … You're saying, is that true?!" Lin Yi was a bit surprised- Tu Tyrant's words were very similar to what Miss Crystal Candy said back in the Ice Palace. Lin Yi wanted to give Xiaoxiao the Fire Spirit's Fruit, but Miss Crystal Candy stopped him, and now Tu Tyrant was saying the same thing.
"Of course, I wouldn't lie to my respected Boss Lin Yi!" Tu Jun. He sighed, "I won't hide it from Boss Lin Yi, but I came from the West to Central Plains not only to participate in the Sky Elixir Sect's test, but also to find … find an earth element inheritor to bring back to our Yellow Earth sect."
Tu Tyrant had another reason for coming here, and that was to find his cousin, Tu Ranran. However, his uncle, Tu Qingsong, had specifically told him that the matter back then was a little complicated, and that he had to be careful with his words. He couldn't mention it to anyone else, so he didn't even mention it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded. With the experience from last time in the Ice Palace, Lin Yi didn't think that Tu Ba was lying to him. Little Nine's situation might really be as he said. He was an earth element inheritor, and had to accept the inheritance.
"Other than accepting the inheritance, is there no other way to solve the problem?" Lin Yi didn't want to give up, "Like what kind of arts?"
"It might be possible if they trained from a young age, but from the looks of it, even if they're younger than you, Senior Lin Yi, they wouldn't be much younger, right? In terms of time, it's too late, at least not for us earth element cultivators. " Tu Xiaowang shook his head and said with certainty, "I won't hide it from you, boss. If there was a solution, then the direct descendants of our Yellow Earth High School wouldn't be so few in number. Now, only my uncle and I are left! This is also why my uncle easily agreed to use the earth essence in exchange for my life- because everyone in my family has left … "
"Oh?" Lin Yi was a bit shocked. Tu Jun. His family … were all dead? Of course, Lin Yi didn't doubt that Tu Jun. He only needed to ask Ge Xian to know if it was true.
"Don't be surprised, Boss Lin. Our family's bloodline is actually the same as the bloodline you're talking about. There's a large amount of earth elements in our bodies, and we have to train in the Yellow Earth High Sect's arts from a young age. Before twenty, we have to step into Sky class, or we'll face death. At that point, we need to use the essence of the earth element and the body parts of an earth element Sky class spirit beast to alleviate the effects, but the effects vary from person to person. At most, it's ten to twenty years of life …" Tu Junwang said, "But a Sky class before twenty years of age … A sect can only raise one or two at a time, even if they do their best. After all, there's a limit to how many pills we can accumulate. It's just like how the Everyday and Every Day Sect focuses on Zhang Naipao, while our Yellow Earth High Sect focuses on me."
"But, can't you guys become inheritors? Then why don't you accept the inheritance? "Lin Yi asked curiously.
"The inheritors are all female. Male cultivators are unable to accept and comprehend the inheritance and cannot become inheritors. Our Yellow Earth High Sect's bloodline is very special. Our descendants are all male. If we want to give birth to a daughter, we have to use a very complicated method. We have to spend a lot of energy and treasures in order to produce a female descendant. This is specially done to cultivate cultivators," said Earth Overlord.
"Then … Why don't you guys get a female descendant to accept the inheritance?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Yes … My uncle has a daughter, and she's also my cousin- this is something to be happy about, but …" Tu Jun. He suddenly realized that he'd said too much. In front of Lin Yi, he didn't have his guard up, and accidentally spilled the beans.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi saw that Tu Jun. He was confused.
"I'm sorry, boss Lin Yi- this is a family secret, I accidentally said too much …" Tu Xiaowang said a little embarrassedly. "Anyway, you just need to know that we tried, but we didn't succeed …"
